An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

At the Bianzhou ferry, Zhao fell behind Zhuque and Baihu, and walked towards the boat with his head lowered and expressionless.

They had just received a secret message, asking the three of them to immediately take a boat upstream and go to Jinguan City to escort Liu Zhiyuan to Beijing. After the secret letter was read out, Eunuch Shi didn't even give him a chance to ask questions, and immediately ordered a carriage to pull the three of them to the ferry.

When they boarded the ship in a daze, they almost didn't remember what they were going to do.

"Why don't you send the message earlier if you are in such a hurry!" Zhao held on to the railing and complained.

Suzaku and Baihu next to them looked at each other, then turned to look at Zhao Jiu. They thought that Zhao's expressionless face along the way was because he had received the news early, but now he seemed as confused as them.

"Fifth Master didn't send you a letter?" Suzaku asked.

Zhao changed his posture and said disdainfully: "What the hell, maybe that old boy is still in the dark!"

He gets angry when Lu Wenyu is mentioned. I don't know if something happened. Recently, Lu Wenyu's news has been frighteningly slow, and the accuracy and efficiency are extremely low.

For example, let him check Wangshu. How many days have passed? The only useful information that came through was: Wang Shu was a woman.

When he saw the letter, Zhao's chin almost hit the ground. You need to fucking check this? Anyone with eyes can see it!

Suzaku covered his mouth to suppress laughter, while Bai Hu turned his head and hissed continuously.

"By the way, the person the three of us are going to escort is Liu Zhiyuan, right?" Zhao tilted his head and asked with certainty.

"Right..." Suzaku was also a little unsure.

Bai Hu nodded, "That's Liu Zhiyuan, that fat pig from Shu."

Hearing this, Zhao slapped him hard and cursed: "I'm bored and just want to talk nonsense. I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Do I need us to escort them?"

"Dong Zhuo protects Lu Bu, but he goes against Tiangang, doesn't he?"

"Okay, okay." Suzaku patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Maybe it's just a walk, it's nothing serious."

Zhao was not really angry, just grumbling. After chatting a few random words, I felt much better, so I simply stepped down and changed the topic.

He waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, just a few words. I hope this trip will be safe."

"I'm going to bed."

He raised his eyebrows at the two of them and walked into the cabin while waving. Going upstream along the river would take several days no matter how fast it was, and there were only three of them on the boat. It was so boring that it was better to sleep to recuperate.

Suzaku's thoughts were similar to Zhao's. It would be better to sleep when he was bored and blowing air. So not long after Zhao left, she also yawned and walked to the cabin.

Baihu was left alone, leaning on the railing and sipping a small drink.

There is nothing special about the river, except for the scenery on both sides. The three of them had nothing to do, other than chatting, they spent most of the time sleeping.

Fortunately, the boat moved very quickly, and we arrived in Yuzhou in just five days. Change horses here and go straight west along the official road to reach Jinguan City.

Just like in Bianzhou. As soon as the three people got off the boat, a government servant brought three horses to the ferry. He saluted respectfully: "My lords, the horses are here. Do you think..."

Hearing this, Zhao waved his hands and sighed: "Don't worry, wait until we take a bath and change clothes. After five days of floating on the river, we are almost smelly."

The three of them ignored the others and rode straight to the inn. I took a comfortable bath, changed my clothes, and had enough to eat and drink before setting off again.

It was already dark at this time, and the three of them rode out of the city. They were not walking very fast, it could even be said to be very slow. While chatting, they wandered westward along the official road.

"Oh, it feels good. I've been holding back for five or six days and finally had a good meal." Zhao walked in front and sighed inexplicably.

Suzaku behind him agreed: "Yes, I was almost exhausted after a few days on the boat."

Bai Hu didn't say anything, just sat on the horse, patted the wine gourd on his waist, and smiled with satisfaction on his face.

After walking out for more than half an hour, the three of them were still laughing and joking, not in a hurry. There was a large forest in front of him, and the moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting large patches of mottled brightness.

They were in a good mood as they enjoyed the scenery along the official road. At this time, a slight "sand" sound in the forest attracted Suzaku's attention.

She reined in the horse and turned to look at the source of the sound. Upon seeing this, Zhao and Bai Hu stopped their horses and followed Suzaku's line of sight.

"What's wrong? Is there someone in the woods?" Zhao frowned and asked softly.

Suzaku shook his head and said uncertainly: "I only heard something strange, but I didn't see anyone."

The two of them became vigilant at the same time, and wisps of true energy gradually rose. They stared at the forest through the big trees and the leaves blowing in the wind.

"Sand", the voice came again.

The three people who concentrated on catching it at the same time looked at each other in unison. If Suzaku's words just made them a little suspicious, then now they are absolutely sure: there is someone in the woods!

"Footsteps!"

The white tiger reacted quickly, stepped lightly on his feet, and flew out in an instant. After a while, he landed on the horse again, shook his head and said, "There are footprints on the ground, but I didn't see anyone."

Zhao and Suzaku looked at each other, with a bit of solemnity on their faces. They couldn't tell whether the people in the woods were coming for them.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao said decisively: "Let's go first. There is still a long way to go. If they are really coming for us, they will definitely show up later."

"Um."

"good."

The two nodded and started galloping. Not long after the three people left, a masked man came out of the woods, staring in the direction where the three people left, his eyes flickering.

He said with lingering fear: "What a keen insight. I only moved a small step, so I can detect it..."

"I hope it's a friend and not an enemy, otherwise it will be difficult."

The masked man turned and walked into the forest, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Unexpected things happened on the road, and the three had to act cautiously. Therefore, except for the necessary changes of horses and meals, they hardly stopped for a moment.

Headed straight to Jinguan City along the official road.

The three of them were very fast, and they arrived at Jinguan City when the moon was at its zenith the next day.

Showing the waist card, riding into the city and heading straight to Liu's mansion. After the report, the three finally saw this "fat pig".

When Liu Zhiyuan, who was full of fat, appeared in front of them, the three were so surprised that they could hardly speak. You looked at me, I looked at you, and there was disbelief on their faces.

This, this is too... too heavy!

Liu Zhiyuan saw all their expressions. But he was not annoyed, still smiling cheerfully, and asked: "Three adults, shall we leave immediately or wait a little longer?"

Hearing the question, Zhao was the first to come back to his senses, scratching his head awkwardly, "General Liu, you are too polite, you are a second-rank official, and the three of us are only third-rank officials, we don't dare to be called adults."

"Let's take a break first, General Liu, you should also prepare well, how about we set off at dawn?"

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Okay, then we will set off at dawn."
