Chen Yuan and Deng Xilong each set up a game, and it depends on whether the opponent's tricks are clever or not.
However, Lou Gui and the others, who were at the core of this struggle, did not know this. Only Lou Gui had a vague feeling that the journey back to Wancheng might not be smooth for him and others.
But he never imagined that Nanyang's powerful people would actually send assassins and dead warriors to deal with them.
It can only be said that Lou Gui's understanding of powerful people is not deep enough.
Lou Gui just instinctively felt that if he and others did not resign, other powerful people in Nanyang would become hostile to him and others.
However, Lou Gui believes that the most these powerful people are doing is suppressing himself or his family, and it is no big deal.
But he didn't expect that people would directly kill him.
Lou Gui was talking to Li Su and Zhao Zi about his opinions at this time.
"There may be some twists and turns in our return to Wancheng this time, but it doesn't matter. It's just that those people feel that we don't obey them and want to threaten us, you clown."
Li Su and Zhao Zi have also heard of Lou Gui's reputation, and the three of them have some interactions with each other on weekdays. After all, the counties where they are located are adjacent to each other.
Therefore, both of them admired Lou Gui very much.
Now that they heard what Lou Gui said, the two of them couldn't help but calm down a little.
To be honest, the two of them felt a little uneasy about resigning without following someone from a powerful family.
Others don't know how powerful these heroes are. As Nanyang people, how can they not know the strength of these heroes?
However, they had not been accustomed to Nanyang's strong style in the past, so this time they also wanted to take a gamble, and there was a very important reason, that was Lou Gui's analysis.
Because the three of them discussed the matter of resignation together.
In the end, Lou Gui convinced the two of them to stay with him and not resign.
Lou Gui said this: "Never mind that Nanyang is so powerful and powerful that it can reach the sky. If it were in the past, I would never advise you two to go against them, but it is different now. There is a Jingzhou Mu in Nanyang."
, this is a fundamental change, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Shijun is not only benevolent, but also very powerful, with many talents under his command. If the Nanyang tyrants want to go against Liu Shijun, failure is inevitable."
After listening to Lou Gui's analysis, the two felt that it made sense.
Therefore, the three of them did not resign.
Sure enough, Lou Gui's analysis was correct. The three people's behavior of not resigning was appreciated and favored by the prefect's mansion. The order to promote the three people was quickly sent, asking them to return to Wancheng as soon as possible.
All three were very happy.
Although the three Lou and Gui all have extraordinary talents, their family power is not strong, so they can only reluctantly serve as county magistrates and other officials.
If you want to get promoted, there is no hope in Nanyang.
Because Nanyang is controlled by these powerful families.
However, it is not easy to make external transfers without solid backing and connections.
Fortunately, Lou Gui led them to make the right bet.
The three of them were talking happily when the carriage suddenly bumped and the curtain of the carriage was unintentionally opened, allowing Lou Gui to see the scenery outside.
There is a road between two mountains, which is very dangerous.
As a native of Nanyang, Lou Gui naturally knows this place.
Bowang has arrived.
This place is really a dangerous place for military strategists. If someone wants to attack Wancheng, they only need to defend this place to ensure the safety of the north of Wancheng.
Do you suggest that the prefect build a gate city here and station an army?
Although Luoyang is located behind Wancheng, it is absolutely safe under normal circumstances.
But smart people like Lou Gui have long realized that the world has begun to change, and what was safe in the past does not mean it is safe now.
It's always good to be prepared.
Just when Lou Gui was thinking about these things, some people suddenly jumped out from the dense forest on both sides.
These people were dressed in black, with bamboo hats on their heads and long knives hanging from their waists. You could tell by their appearance that they were coming with bad intentions.
These Nanyang tycoons really have no creativity. They are obviously assassins sent by several companies, but there is not much difference in their appearance.
If Chen Yuan saw it, he would probably complain like crazy.
If they all dress up like this, aren't they afraid of mistaking each other?
These people stood in front of the carriage. They didn't look like assassins or killers, but rather like robbers blocking the road.
When Lou Gui saw these people, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
He immediately realized that he had underestimated the cruelty of these powerful clans, who would kill people if they disagreed.
Lou Gui reacted quickly and took out the soul treasure without any nonsense.
Lou Gui is at the fourth level, while Li Su and Zhao Zi are both at the fifth level.
In Lou Gui's perception, the cultivation levels of the people in front of him are basically around the fourth or fifth level.
Although their cultivation levels are similar, they have a large number of people, more than ten or twenty people.
Fortunately, Nanyang Haoqiang may not have found out clearly. Although Lou Gui only has a fourth-level cultivation level, he has soul treasures one by one.
This soul treasure is called Feihan.
Taken from the meaning that three feet of ice does not freeze in one day.
The effect is to cool down extremely quickly.
The meaning is taken from the meaning that three feet of ice does not freeze in one day, but the effect is completely opposite.
It can quickly turn the surrounding environment into an extremely cold environment with heavy snowfall and three feet of ice.
This soul treasure was passed on to him by his teacher.
The method Lou Gui practiced was called Leitu Jue.
The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest millimeter; the nine-foot platform starts from the base soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Obviously, most of Lou Gui’s teachers were descendants of Taoism.
The key to the cultivation of base earth art lies in accumulation, not rapid progress.
Lou Gui is usually not a very outstanding person, but at this critical moment, the secrets of earth fighting are undoubtedly revealed.
The thick accumulation of soil and the mystery of non-cold weather caused the entire area within a hundred feet to be covered in ice and snow, and the temperature continued to drop.
Not only that, there was a strong wind and heavy snow.
These strong winds and heavy snow became Lou Gui's weapon to attack the enemy.
These dead soldiers were caught off guard by Lou Gui's attack.
They originally thought that this was an easy mission, and they had read all the information about Lou Gui and the others.
According to the intelligence, these are just three very ordinary people.
Of course, fourth-grade cultivation is still worthy of attention.
That's just paying attention to it, and it's definitely not like facing a formidable enemy.
To be honest, these people have successfully assassinated even third-level masters.
Not to mention a fourth grade.
Therefore, they become careless unconsciously.
Don't think that the methods used by powerful families to train assassins are very clever. They don't just brainwash them and then let them practice some skills that overdraw their lives and potential. This is enough.
I won’t teach any more others.
What does an assassin and killer know so much about?
Is it possible that we still need to teach them how to be officials?
Therefore, these people are completely free to assassinate. In addition to not revealing their identities, they often do such things as rape.
They didn't take Lou Gui seriously and chose to kill him by force.
However, Lou Gui's reaction was extremely quick and his strength was beyond their imagination.
After Lou Gui used Fei Han to create the realm of ice and snow, the ice and snow realm covered a hundred miles in radius, directly increasing Lou Gui's strength to a level comparable to that of the third level.
It is inevitable that this realm of hundreds of feet of ice and snow should be regarded as Lou Gui's dharma image.
This is the power of Soul Treasure.
If a soul treasure matches the practitioner's skill, it can greatly enhance the practitioner's strength.
Just like Lou Gui, he directly created a false image.
Although it is fake, Lou Gui can indeed display the strength of the third level within this hundred-foot radius.
As a result, these assassins were a little dumbfounded.
Because they discovered that they couldn't get in front of Lou Gui at all.
Each of them burst out with black or blood-colored rays of energy, and drew blades of qi towards Lou Gui. However, there would always be strong winds gathering ice and snow to directly offset their attacks, and some even counterattacked.
At this time, all these dozen people were sitting on the wax.
Although they launched some powerful attacks at the expense of their lives and potential, they were all helpless against Lou Gui.
Lou Gui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that those people were trapped in the ice and snow within a hundred feet.
Fortunately, there are no third-grade experts, otherwise the three of them would really die here this time.
Just when Lou Gui breathed a sigh of relief, three figures suddenly appeared in the field.
Among the three people, the leader was wearing a black robe. The pattern woven on the robe was a human skeleton, and a cold air suddenly hit his face.
That's all. There is actually a bone crown on top of this man's head.
It makes people shudder.
These are Deng Gu's special hobbies. He likes bones. He thinks dead people's bones are the most beautiful things in the world because bones can't lie.
The bone crown on his head was forged from the bones of three masters who died under his sword.
Not only does it look scary, but it's also a nice treasure.
Seeing Deng Gu's outfit, Lou Gui's heart suddenly shivered.
Bone Eater.
Yes, Deng Gu’s nickname is the Bone Eater.
And this nickname is still very popular in Nanyang.
Because people who died under Deng Gu had one characteristic, that is, all their bones were gone.
The rumors were all eaten up by Deng Gu.
Don't doubt that a third-level master's teeth and bones will break into pieces with one bite.
Moreover, Deng Gu’s image was also spread.
Wearing a bone robe and a bone crown on his head, he looks like a messenger from the underworld.
Across Lou Gui's ice and snow field, Deng Gu and Lou Gui looked at each other from afar.
Deng Gu suddenly laughed: "It seems that we have all underestimated you, Lou Gui, who would have thought that a small county magistrate would have such a soul treasure in his possession. Your strength is no less than a third-grade master."
Lou Gui ignored Deng Gu's words and said instead: "Which family are you from? The Ma family? The Jia family? No, that's not right. You are from the Deng family!"
Finally, Lou Gui determined Deng Gu's background.
The reason is very simple. The person who showed up here today to intercept and kill him must be a powerful person from Nanyang or someone very close to Nanyang powerful person.
As for third-level masters like Deng Gu, only the Deng family can train them and make them die.
Other powerful people not only lack the foundation, but also lack the strength.
When Deng Gu heard what Lou Gui said, he was not at all panicked by Lou Gui's revelation of the secret.
Because Lou Gui is already a dead person in his eyes.
Although Lou Gui had the strength of a fake third-level man with the help of Fei Han, the fake one was just a fake. If he was matched with a genuine third-level powerhouse like him, there would only be one end, and that was death.
As for the other two, they were even more insignificant and could just be strangled to death.
Dead people don't reveal secrets.
Therefore, Deng Gu felt very stable.
He looked at Lou Gui: "Are you going to die by yourself, or let me do it? I advise you to commit suicide. If you commit suicide, I can guarantee to keep your whole body. If you let me do it, your bones will be gone."
oh."
After saying that, he looked at Li Su and the two of them: "The same goes for you. Do you want to commit suicide or let me do it?"
Deng Gu's words were simply domineering and arrogant.
Not only were Lou Gui and the other two silent, but the killers from other families were also shocked.
He is so arrogant and domineering.
Seeing Lou Gui and the others were silent.
Deng Gu smiled again: "Well, if you don't want to die, there is another option."
"What choice?"
"It's very simple, resign."
This move is obviously meant to hit the governor's house and Chen Yuan in the face.
As soon as the three of them resign, everyone will understand that Chen Yuan lost the first move in this contest.
Moreover, Lou Gui and the others had no way out, because hitting Chen Yuan in the face meant that they had completely hated the Prefectural Mufu.
From now on, they can only closely follow the footsteps of the powerful Nanyang.
To put it harshly, they have become the dogs of the powerful Nanyang.
All three of them looked very ugly.
People in this era attach great importance to credibility. If they resign, not only will their reputation be ruined, but they will also violate the principles and bottom lines in their hearts.
So, after the three of them looked at each other, they all laughed.
"It seems that the three of us are going to die here today."
"If a man dies, he will die. How can he betray his trust?"
"Okay, then what are we waiting for? Let's grab a few to support us."
At this time, the heroic spirit of the three people was fully displayed.
High in the sky, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao watched every move on the field. Seeing the three people's choices, Lu Bu couldn't help but praise: "These three are all good men."
Zhang Liao nodded: "If you are not afraid of death and have faith and righteousness, you can be a strong man."
Even Wei Yan, who was lying in wait, flashed admiration in his eyes.
Originally, he was a little unhappy that Chen Yuan asked him to come here to ambush, but after seeing the heroic actions of the three of them, Wei Yan felt that it was worth the trip to save the three of them.
Therefore, Wei Yan did not wait any longer, waved his hand, and led a thousand soldiers and horses to fight out from the side of the mountain.
This move directly shocked everyone present.
Everyone was extremely shocked. How could there be an army here?
When everyone saw that the leader of the army was Wei Yan, the expressions on the faces of the assassins suddenly became extremely ugly.
Especially Deng Gu, his face was even more ugly.
However, this guy was worthy of being killed out of hundreds of people. The moment he saw Wei Yan, he didn't hesitate at all and turned around to run away.
I saw Deng Gu's body swaying, turning into a bloody light and fleeing away.
Wei Yan didn't expect this guy to be so clever and run away as soon as he saw something wrong.
However, just as Deng Gu's transformed blood flew several tens of feet, a spear fell from the sky and directly knocked Deng Gu back.
