    The main tent of Jiangdong Army.

    Sunlight poured in through the opening at the top of the tent. Zhou Yu was half-leaning on the tables, fiddling with the strings of the long piano on the tables.  He frowned, and the sound of the piano fluctuated up and down, obviously not focusing on playing the piano.

    The curtain of the tent was lifted, Zhou Yu raised his head and saw Gan Ning and others escorting a scholar in. Although the gleaming sword blade was touching the back of the man's neck, the scholar still had a look on his face.  A slight smile, looking unfazed.  [bsp; Gan Ning kicked the scholar on the crook of the leg and said: "Grand Governor, this man came from Xiangyang City holding a white flag and said he had something important to report."

    The scholar knelt on the ground, bowed to Zhou Yu with a smile, and said, "I am Zhang Kui, a guest of Prefect Kuai's mansion. I am here to pay homage to the Governor on the orders of Prefect Kuai and General Cai."

    "I am familiar with Governor Kuai. General Cai, is this Cai Hao's younger brother Cai He?" Zhou Yu fiddled with the strings a few more times and asked with a smile.

    The scholar nodded and said: "Both generals Cai Mao and Cai Zhong were killed by the governor. Now who is General Cai in Jingzhou, if not Cai He?"

    "That's right, the Cai family's talents are withering now, and they have fallen into the dilemma of being pushed down by the wall and beaten by the people when the drum is broken. Now even the last bit of flesh and blood has been thrown on the battlefield. If Xiangyang City is destroyed, I'm afraid the Cai family will be destroyed.  I will be expelled from Jingzhou." Zhou Yu carefully wrapped the Changqin on the table, put it in his hand, and said calmly: "Although the two armies are fighting and the envoys are not killed, the feud between my lord and Liu Biao is very serious.  It¡¯s incomprehensible, if Mr. Zhang is here for this matter, please try the newly sharpened sword in Xingba¡¯s scabbard to see if it has any advantages or disadvantages.¡±

    Zhang Kui¡¯s expression remained unchanged and he laughed loudly: ¡°I¡¯m afraid the sword in General Gan¡¯s scabbard cannot be used to test my head, but the head of the Governor.¡±

    Zhou Yu glanced at him, sneered, and said, "In that case, I must listen to Mr. Zhang's wise words."

    Zhang Kui pushed away Gan Ning's long sword on the back of his neck and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Governor is a Confucian general in the world. How come until now, the Governor not only did not invite me to have a cup of tea, but also ordered General Gan to take it."  Scaring me with a long sword, isn't this the way to treat guests?"

    "It's only a few miles from Xiangyang to our military camp. Does Mr. Zhang feel tired?" Zhou Yu snorted, "No matter, my camp is not short of your tea, lest you go back and ask Kuai Yue to laugh at us in Jiangdong.  The military doesn¡¯t know etiquette. Please sit down, sir.¡±

    Zhang Kui bowed and bowed again, walked to the guest seat and sat down.  After Gan Ning and others had also sat down, Zhou Yu held the table in front of him and said, "Tell me, Mr. Zhang, how you want to test your head with Xingba's sword, I'm all ears."

    "The Commander-in-Chief is currently under Xiangyang City. With the fighting power of the Jiangdong Army, the city can only be broken in an instant, so there is no need to mention this section. Xiangyang is broken, and there is no longer a barrier in Jingzhou. The Commander-in-Chief can send his horse south and take Jiangling directly.  Liu Jingzhou is finished" Zhang Kui changed his tone and continued: "Since Sun Ce started his army, he relied heavily on the governor to attack cities and plunder territory. If the governor succeeds in such a great achievement this time, isn't he afraid that his achievements will overshadow his master's?  "

    Before Zhou Yu could answer, Gan Ning on the side was already furious and shouted loudly: "My lord has a broad mind, how can a bastard like you make such assumptions?"

    Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to stop the angry Gan Ning and said calmly: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang is Kuai Yue's lobbyist."

    "Yes, I told Governor Kuai that Zhang is not talented and I am willing to use my sharp tongue to persuade the Governor to surrender." Zhang Kui raised his eyebrows and did not deny it.

    Zhou Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "What a pity, what a pity."

    Zhang Kui said in astonishment: "What's the pity?"

    "Mr. Zhang, since I followed my lord into the army in Jingzhou, I have also heard that there are many assassins in the palace of Kuai Prefect, who are dedicated to assassinating his political opponents. They have never failed for more than ten years." Zhou Yu stared at Zhang Kui, "  But today the assassins of the Kuai family are afraid of falling into trouble, tell me, isn¡¯t this a pity?¡±

    Zhang Kui was shocked, knowing that Zhou Yu had seen through his identity - he was not a lobbyist, but an assassin.  In a flash of lightning, Zhang Kui suddenly jumped up from the ground, tore open his gown with his left hand, pulled out a short knife from his waist with his right hand, and threw it at Zhou Yu.  All the strength in his body was poured into the blade of the dagger in an instant. A flash of green light flashed, and the dagger was accurately inserted into Zhou Yu's chest.

    Something unexpected happened, and by the time Gan Ning and others reacted, Zhou Yu had already spit out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.  Gan Ning, Huang Gai and others pulled out their swords, jumped up and knocked Zhang Kui to the ground.  Zhang Kui was seriously injured and lying on the ground with blood gushing out. He tried his best to pull out a small piece of bamboo pipe from his waist and flicked it with his fingertips. The bamboo pipe shot straight into the sky from the opening at the top of the tent with a sharp whistling sound.  , exploded in the air.

    openA smile appeared on the corner of Kui's mouth. He gritted his bloody teeth and said proudly: "The poison on my dagger will seal my throat with blood. Zhou Yu is dead. Let me see how you can attack Xiangyang City."

    "Even without me, Xiangyang City still has to be attacked." Zhou Yu, who fell behind the table, put his hands on the ground and got up.  Zhou Yu carefully pulled out the short knife from his chest. Seeing that the blade reflected a strange light green light under the sunlight, Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue: "What a vicious weapon."

    "You, you, how are you" Zhang Kui's face was ashen.

    "Since I know you are an assassin, how could I not be prepared? You underestimate me, Zhou Yu." Zhou Yu said as he took out a thick stack of breast shields from his chest. Several of them were already  It was shattered by the dagger thrown by Zhang Kui, and pieces scattered all over the floor.

    "You are obviously vomiting blood, but the poison on my knife"

    "Did the poison on your knife seal your throat with blood?" Zhou Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Don't you know that you can make the illusion of vomiting blood by biting the tip of your tongue?"

    Zhou Yu leaned down, leaned into Zhang Kui's ear, and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, I really want to thank you very much. Thank you for helping me convey a completely wrong message to Kuai Yue." After that,  Zhou Yu stabbed the short knife in his hand fiercely into Zhang Kui's chest.

    At this time, there was an atmosphere of joy in the Xiangyang City Prefect¡¯s Mansion.

    Zhang Kui had been with Kuai Yue for a long time and was the safest in doing things, so when Kuai Yue saw the signal he sent before his death at the top of the city, he was already convinced of Zhou Yu's death, and Jiang Dongjun later  At that time, the whole army mourned and the cries were loud, which made him deeply convinced that Zhou Yu, a young boy, had perished.

    In the commotion, Kuai Yue coughed several times, cleared his throat, stood up with a wine glass, and said in a long voice: "Everyone here please drink this cup to celebrate the death of Zhou Yu's son, Xiangyang."  The city must be safe!"

    "Prefect Kuai's clever plan is rare in the world." The civil servants and generals in Xiangyang raised their glasses to celebrate.  Cai He, who was sitting under Kuai Yue, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. He said loudly: "Prefect Kuai, I would like to lead five thousand hussars to rob the camp of Jiangdong Army tonight, seize Zhou Yu's body, and behead him."  His head is to comfort the souls of my two brothers in heaven!"

    Kuai Yue frowned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said, "I can understand General Cai's mood. But there is an ancient saying: When the fire burns on your body, everyone goes to sweep it away; when a bee swarms into your arms, you undress immediately. Since Zhou Yu  If he dies, the Jiangdong Army will be leaderless along the way and will inevitably retreat. Why should General Cai cause more trouble?"

    "But the blood feud between my eldest brother and my second brother"

    The Cai family is no longer the powerful Cai family of the past. Kuai Yue did not have the patience to explain to the stupid young man in front of him. He waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Cai He: "General Cai, please put the overall situation first. In short,  No one is allowed to lead troops out of the city without my order."

    After saying this, Kuai Yue was no longer in the mood to drink and celebrate, so he turned around and walked back to the back hall angrily.
