Lu Zhi, the world's famous and famous Mu Lu Zhi, was assassinated, and the murderer was Zhao Yun, a top military general under the command of Pingzhou Mu and Zuo General Shang Ji!

This explosive news immediately shocked the world, and the situation that was stirred up and uneasy because of Dong Zhuo's misdeeds was immediately quiet, and it seemed that everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo issued an edict, canonizing Shang Ji as the king of Yan on the grounds that Pingzhou herdsmen and merchants had made great contributions to the country, and authorized the establishment of the state, and took the land of Pingchen and Hebei as the land of Yan.

The world is in an uproar, and the heroes are talking!

Gongsun Zan took the lead in reacting, announcing that the world refused to send troops to fight Dong before figuring out the cause of Lu Gong's death, and implored Pingzhou Mu to comply with the expectations of the world and take the initiative to stand up to help investigate the cause of Lu Gong's death.

Although it was said more tactfully, and Shang Ji was the mastermind of the assassination of Lu Zhi without naming him, the meaning was very obvious.

At the same time as Gongsun Zhan made a statement, the army moved on a large scale towards the Youping Junction, and there was a posture that if you didn't give me an explanation, I would raise troops to seek justice for Lu Gong.

Immediately afterwards, Han Fu, Kong Rong, and Yuan Shao issued statements one after another, responding to Gongsun Zhan, and unanimously asked Shang Ji to hand over Zhao Yun and thoroughly investigate the cause of Lu Zhi's death.

This kind of call is very high, and the people and celebrities, the major nobles, the county magistrates, and the excited state army all demand it.

Some even directly shouted the radical slogan of rebellious and rebellious merchants, if it weren't for Lu Bu as a buffer in the middle, it is estimated that the state army would have taken action.

It is unknown how much loyalty the army under Lu Zhi has to the imperial court, but they have great respect for Lu Zhi himself. Knowing the news of Lu Zhi's death, I don't know how many people are grief-stricken, and there are countless people who vow to avenge Lu Zhi.

Only a few southern princes, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, acted as peacemakers in the middle, calling on everyone to calm down and never fall for the tricks of traitors.

As for who this traitor refers to, it is up to the benevolent to see the wise.

However, this voice was too weak, and it was quickly drowned in a wave of shouting and killing.

For a while, the tide of the land of China was surging, and there was a posture of ignoring Dong Zhuo for the time being, and uniting to kill Shang Ji first!

In the face of turbulent public opinion, Shang Ji, who was in the center of the storm, did not make any remarks for a long time, and this situation was a manifestation of weakness in the eyes of some people, which was regarded as an admission of the fact of assassinating Lu Zhi in disguise.

Pingzhou, Xiangping, the city lord's mansion meeting hall.

High-ranking officials from Pingzhou gathered, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

The rumored murderer of Lu Zhi, Zhao Yun, was sitting among a group of high-ranking generals, his sword eyebrows were upside down, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously not in a very good mood.

After being silent for a while, Shang Ji took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, do you have anything to say about the current situation?" ”

There was silence below, and after a full two minutes, Xun Yu got up and said: "Everyone, I foolishly think that the most important thing at the moment is to find out the real culprit who assassinated Lu Gong and prove our innocence, otherwise under the anger of the heroes, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen!" ”

As he spoke, Xun Yu also subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yun.

In fact, at this time, Pingzhou was also calm, and many insiders also believed that Lu Zhi was indeed killed by Zhao Yun! Lazy people listen to books

According to what the sect members witnessed at the assassination site, it was "Zhao Yun" who took advantage of Lu Gong's unpreparedness and took the opportunity to assassinate Lu Zhi, and the weapon used in the assassination was Zhao Yun's well-known blade [Dragon Pattern Sword].

Because Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi are old acquaintances, and the relationship between Shang Jijun and Lu Zhijun is harmonious, so at that time, Zhao Yun went to visit Lu Zhi with a sword, and he did not embarrass Zhao Yun because of this matter. It was such an oversight that led to Zhao Yun's successful assassination.

After successfully assassinating Lu Zhi, "Zhao Yun" was in a hurry to get out, and did not entangle with the sect members, and rushed out directly. The defenders outside did not know where they were going, and they did not stop them. By the time he really found out that something was wrong, Zhao Yun had already left the most core and dangerous position.

And the reason why the sect member bit to death was done by Zhao Yun instead of something like the disguise technique, it was because the assassin not only concealed Lu Zhi's eyes (Lu Zhi, as a top scribe, rarely had concealment transformation skills that could hide Lu Zhi at close range), but also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, and easily escaped from the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of state troops.

This is consistent with Zhao Yun's identity as a heaven-level military general.

And the fighting style and martial arts that the assassin showed during the battle and the martial arts he practiced were exactly the same!

It's easy to change your appearance, but it's hard to hide it from Lu Zhi, as for imitating the way of fighting and the martial arts used in battle, and also giving full play to the combat level of a heaven-level martial general, it's almost impossible!

Of course, it was not for nothing that the assassin accidentally lost the murder weapon [Dragon Pattern Sword] in a panic, and now this Dragon Pattern Sword is being kept as key evidence in the Bingzhou Army Camp!

And what's even more fatal is that Zhao Yun really has time to commit crimes!

At the time of Lu Zhi's death, Zhao Yun happened to be absent from Pingzhou, and many high-ranking officials in Pingzhou knew about it.

One of the most core generals suddenly broke away from the army at the critical juncture when the war was about to break out, and he was alone and didn't know where to go, who believes that this is a coincidence!

Combined with Dong Zhuo's strange decision to suddenly canonize Shang Ji as the King of Yan, many people, including Pingzhou insiders, began to speculate whether Shang Ji was bought by Dong Zhuo and decided to join Dong Zhuo's camp. Then, with the help of Lu Zhi's trust, he solved a big problem for Dong Zhuo.

Although this approach is not quite in line with Shang Ji's usual style, it is not incomprehensible.

After all, this is a king!

It is also a super-sized king whose territory area includes the five states of You, Merge, Ping, Hebei and Chen, and directly occupied half of the Han Dynasty after the fact.

Under such temptation, how many people in the world can not be tempted?

Xun Yu is a representative of this attitude in Pingzhou, but it is different from others. Even if this matter was really done by Shang Ji secretly ordering Zhao Yun to do it, most of the Pingzhou officials would only cheer for Shang Ji to become the king, while Xun Yu would directly break with Shang Ji!

And although Xun Yu's words at this time were quite polite, the spearhead was directly aimed at Zhao Yun, if Zhao Yun couldn't come up with any strong evidence to prove his innocence, Xun Yu would not give up.

Seeing that Xun Yu pointed the finger at Zhao Yun, Shao Yun, who had the closest relationship with Zhao Yun, was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Zilong, didn't you go out a few days ago because your teacher was critically ill, and you went back to Changshan to visit your master, you hurry up and explain to everyone!" ”

Zhao Yun continued to be silent, and the others also had different expressions.

There is only a line between Changshan County and Jinyang, where the crime occurred, and you can go back and forth without an hour of riding a top horse!

Shao Yun also seemed to have discovered this, not only could not prove Zhao Yun's innocence, but it might aggravate his suspicion, and suddenly became more anxious, scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and said with an idea: "By the way, didn't they say that the murder weapon dragon pattern sword was seized?" Zilong, hurry up and take out the real dragon pattern sword, won't you prove your innocence in this way? ”
