An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

While there was still some time, the three of them happened to take a nap while leaning on the backs of their chairs to regain the energy that had been wasted by running all the way.

Liu Zhiyuan went out to see what was interesting and did not disturb the rest of the three people.

When the rooster crowed for the second time, the sky outside was just dim, and the three of them woke up slowly, rubbing their eyes.

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan happened to walk in. Seeing that the three of them were awake, he clapped his hands in a hurry and said, "Are you three awake? You can't go on an empty stomach. How about we eat first before leaving?"

"Okay." Zhao was empty-handed and had no reason to refuse.

After eating and drinking, the four of them walked out the door, two in front and two in back. On the way, Liu Zhiyuan explained with a smile: "As for me, I love my soldiers as much as my children. When my subordinates heard that I was coming to Beijing, they all came to see me off. It's hard to refuse such kindness."

"I understand, I understand everything!" Zhao said with a smile.

Of course he wouldn't refuse a good thing that could reduce his workload. It's best to bring more people with you. This will ensure safety on the road and make him feel more relaxed.

Kill two birds with one stone, only a fool would refuse!

"That's good! That's good!" Liu Zhiyuan smiled happily and walked a little faster.

After pushing open the door and walking out, Zhao was almost shocked by the sight in front of him. There were so many armored soldiers in front of me that I couldn't even see the end of them. The streets were surrounded at the end of the street, and those who couldn't stand were crowded onto the stone steps in front of the door.

This, this is not a human being? This fucking invention is annoying a lot of people!

"All of them?" Zhao stared and turned around to ask.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled broadly, waved his hands and said: "I have said that I love soldiers as much as my own son, but they can't bear to leave me, so they just came to see me off. It's not in the way, it's not in the way!"

"It's very annoying!"

Zhao looked down at the dark crowd of heads, leaned into Liu Zhiyuan's ear, and hurriedly advised: "Just bring one or two thousand people! With so many people, we don't even need to go to Beijing. We will be arrested as treason on the way!"

How could Liu Zhiyuan not understand this? He smiled and explained: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I won't do anything to teach others! Don't worry, they will only send me to Yuzhou, and when I get on the ship, they will go back."

"Yuzhou does not extend beyond the territory of Shu, so at most it is patrolling, and it has nothing to do with rebellion."

He patted Zhao Jiu on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Put your heart back in your belly!"

Zhao then breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really afraid that Liu Zhiyuan's brain would go crazy and he would have to be escorted by these soldiers, causing him to suffer as well.

Fortunately, it was only sent to Yuzhou. Although it still violates the rules upon closer inspection, it doesn't go beyond that. It can be considered as hovering on the edge, and it is difficult to operate even if you want to accuse it.

He felt relieved and said with a smile: "In that case, let's set off."

"good!"

Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go!"

"yes!"

The angry voices of the soldiers merged together, like thunder. Zhao only felt his ears buzzing, and his inner shock increased even more.

The housekeeper brought three horses, and Zhao Jiu, Zhuque and Baihu got on their horses. Because Liu Zhiyuan was thick and heavy, riding a horse was simply torture for him, so the housekeeper prepared a large carriage early.

Helping him climb into the carriage, the group walked toward the city gate in a mighty manner.

There were soldiers walking in front to clear the way, and Zhao and the three of them only needed to guard the carriage on the left and right. Taking advantage of his free time, Zhao looked at the length of the team and estimated the number of soldiers.

Good guy, you can't even see the end of the queue. A rough calculation means that there must be 10,000 people in the lead.

He couldn't help but speechless and sighed silently.

After leaving the city, there was a large group of soldiers clearing the way, so there would be nothing unusual. Zhao and the three of them were happy and relaxed, riding horses to guard the carriage, admiring the scenery on the left and right as they walked forward.

Although the journey was smooth, it was not very fast. It took a day and a night to reach Yuzhou.

Sure enough, the soldiers stopped at Yuzhou Ferry as promised. Before boarding the ship, Liu Zhiyuan turned around and waved, laughing easily.

"Brothers, you have worked hard all the way, please go back!"

After the soldiers slowly retreated, the four of them boarded the boat and left, heading down the river.

…

The boat moved very fast, and it arrived at the border of Chuzhou in just a few days. During the day, nothing unusual was encountered, which made Zhao and the others relieved.

The three of them all hope that this journey will be smooth and safe. It is best that there will be no problems on the road so that they can relax.

After all, there are only three of them, two minor grandmasters and one first-level master. If they encounter three or four minor masters, or a grand master, they will not be able to protect Liu Zhiyuan.

Thinking of this, Zhao, who was leaning on the railing, couldn't help but shake his head and sighed softly: "Master Wu is really relieved..."

Suzaku stood beside him and said nonchalantly: "The three of us are enough. There are not many warriors above the first level in the world."

"Haha, just because there are few people doesn't mean there are none at all. If there is a big master, we won't all have to finish the game!"

"Do you think the Grand Master is a cabbage? There aren't many little Grandmasters, let alone the Grand Master." Suzaku turned to look at him and couldn't help but complain.

Zhao was not to be outdone, "What if?"

"Bah, bah, bah." Suzaku said angrily.

"You should look forward to it!"

Zhao laughed loudly, turned his head to admire the scenery, and did not dare to speak anymore.

The boat didn't stop. When it passed Chuzhou, it was completely dark, the clouds were thick, and the moonlight was not bright. Zhao looked up at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there were not many boats passing by on the river. Only their boat was riding the wind down the river, lonely and conspicuous.

"This is a good time to kill..." He lowered his brows and murmured in his heart.

My eyes scanned both sides of the river, and an inexplicable sense of crisis gradually entered my heart. I simply calmed down and listened attentively to the movements on both sides.

Unfortunately, the water was turbulent and the wind was howling, so it was difficult to hear far, so I had to give up.

The boat sailed for more than half an hour, and nothing happened. It was calm.

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan walked out of the cabin, stood beside Zhao Jue, and smiled: "You have escorted me all the way, and it's hard. But there is no need to be so nervous. The sea is clear and the river is calm now, and nothing will happen."

"I hope so." Zhao did not comment.

Liu Zhiyuan did not notice the heaviness in Zhao Jue's tone, and he talked about nothing. I have to say that this fat man is very talkative, and he can talk about anything from the north to the south, ghosts and gods, and strange stories.

After chatting for a while, Zhao suddenly remembered and changed the subject and asked with a smile: "General Liu, I wonder if you have many enemies?"

Liu Zhiyuan didn't mind, waved his hand and smiled: "It's too formal to always call me general, general, just call me brother! As for enemies, there are more or less, I don't know what kind you are talking about?"

"Those who want to kill you."

"Then there are many." Liu Zhiyuan held his chin with his right hand and smiled.

Zhao's face suddenly changed. Just when he was about to ask clearly, he heard a few "hissing" sounds in the wind.
