C15 Where Is the Basic Trust Between Men
The generals in the tent couldn't help but nod their heads as they looked at the young Meng Tian: "That's right, he really does have the demeanor of the Great Qin War God of the past."
Hearing the comments of the people in the tent, Meng Tian was a little stunned. He also knew that he had arrived at the future. These people were talking about his future self?
Meng Xin could not help but feel elated in his heart. So it turned out that he would be so powerful in the future.
Liu Bei thought about it carefully for a while and said, "Third brother, if you don't mind, how about taking these two people under your wing?"
"I don't want to!" Huang Xiaowei said with a dark expression.
Liu Bei was speechless."
Zhang Fei looked at Huang Xiaowei happily and said, "Big Brother, I will accept this, but..." Zhang Fei pointed at Huang Xiaowei and said, "That brat is glib-tongued. I can tell that he's up to no good. I don't want him."
"Hey," This made Huang Xiaowei so angry. Zhang Fei, you are looking down on me too much. Why am I not a good person? Let me tell you, I am a good person... Pui, I'm not a good person... Sigh... Forget it...
Fortunately, Meng Tian had good eyesight and said, "General, why don't you let him be my follower or groom?"
Liu Bei nodded in agreement when he heard that. Only Huang Xiaowei was unhappy at the side. Why was he the driver? You guys were too blind.
After Liu Bei said a few more words to the civil and military officials under his command, he let everyone leave. Zhang Fei led Huang Xiaowei and Meng Tian to a military camp in the west. He looked at Meng Tian and said, "It's too late today. You should rest here first. Hey, that kid will go and get a set of grooms tomorrow. Do you hear me?"
Damn it, Huang Xiaowei really wanted to kill someone, but in the end, she still said honestly, "Aiyo, alright, Third Master. I will definitely do my best to serve the land in the future..." Just look at his wretched appearance.
Zhang Fei nodded in satisfaction and left. As soon as Zhang Fei walked away, Meng Tian could not hold back his joy any longer. He pointed at Huang Xiaowei and said, "Hey, groom, go and get me a basin of water to wash my feet."
Huang Xiaowei pushed her bicycle and pointed at Meng Tian, saying angrily, "Wait for me to go home."
Meng Tian did not tease Huang Xiaowei anymore, instead, he looked at the tightly guarded military fortress of the Shu Army, and the groups of elite soldiers who passed by them from time to time, saying, "The soldiers here are stronger than the soldiers of the six nations."
"Then how about compared to your Great Qin?"
Mongolian said confidently, "Of course the difference is great. My Great Qin soldiers are invincible."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are bragging. Oh right, what should we do when someone goes to kill Liu Bei later?"
Mongolian looked up at the sky. It was already late in the night. It should be around eleven o'clock in the modern era.
"Wait a little longer. Assassinating the commander in such a tightly guarded camp is not an easy task. If I'm not wrong, the assassin should choose to attack at midnight."
Mongolian continued, "Fortunately, this place is not far from the main tent, so I can pay attention to the situation over there."
Huang Xiaowei laid down in the military camp without saying a word, "Then I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on me. I'll treat you and Mr. Ying to pancakes when we get back."
"Hey, hey, didn't we agree on Pizza Hut?"
Huang Xiaowei was rendered speechless."
Zi hour was the most tiring period for humans, and it was also the period when their vigilance was at its weakest.
Currently, in Liu Bei's camp, apart from the occasional wolf howls and the sound of the bonfire burning in the distance, the entire camp was completely silent. Occasionally, the soldiers on patrol could not help but yawn. Mong Tian had been silently observing the situation in Liu Bei's tent.
The man couldn't help but feel sleepy as he looked at Meng Tian. Just as his eyelids were twitching, two patrol teams suddenly appeared in the distance. There were more than a dozen of them in total. Except for the leader, everyone else was looking around and walking slowly towards Liu Bei's military tent.
Meng Tian's eyes focused. Something was not right. Something was not right. If he was not mistaken, these were the assassins.
Meng Tian quickly woke up Huang Xiaowei, who was sleeping so soundly by the side, and said, "Sigh, stop sleeping. The assassin is here."
Huang Xiaowei rubbed her eyes and said, "I thought these grandsons won't be coming anymore."
Under the gaze of Huang Xiaowei and Meng Tian, other than the four of them walking towards the soldiers on guard, the rest of the soldiers stood around and pretended to patrol.
The four guards standing outside the military tent were dozing off drowsily. They could vaguely see the person in front of them and were about to ask them what was going on, but it was not the time for them to change shifts.
The next moment, the four men were covered their mouths with their hands at the same time. The long knives suddenly cut through their bodies. The four of them only struggled for a while before they died.
The assassins had just put away the corpses of the soldiers when one of them gave Liu Bei's central tent a look. All the assassins nodded silently. Just as they were about to sneak into the central tent, suddenly, two young figures walked towards them from afar.
When the assassins saw that someone had come, they all became nervous. All of them quickly stood up and did what they had to do. At the same time, they prayed in their hearts that these two were just passing by to go to the toilet.
These two men were Huang Xiaowei and Meng Tian, who had been watching the show for a long time. Originally, Meng Tian did not agree to swagger over, but Huang Xiaowei insisted that the mountain man had his own plan.
Thus, the two of them swaggered towards the assassins, and when the assassins guarding in front of the military tent saw that Huang Xiaowei and Meng Tian were indeed coming for them, they could not help but break out in cold sweat.
The few people who pretended to be patrolling nearby also held the swords in their hands and prepared to kill the two of them if anything went wrong.
But...
At this moment, Huang Xiaowei came up to them sneakily and said in a low voice, "Don't misunderstand, let's go together..."
This time, it was the assassins' turn to be dumbfounded. One of them pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Huang Xiaowei immediately put her arms around his shoulder, then glanced into the military tent and said, "Don't you want to talk about it anymore? We are colleagues, Sun Quan... No, this time, not only did the master send you to assassinate Liu Bei, but he also specially sent the two of us to help you."
The assassin still did not believe it, so Huang Xiaowei continued, "Stop pretending. Why are we all in the same team? Let me tell you the truth. The master was worried that you would not be able to escape unscathed after assassinating Liu Bei, so he specially sent me to pick you up and assassinate Cao Cao's brothers. How is it now? Do you believe me? I know about such a big matter."
When they heard the name Cao Cao, all the assassins heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did they believe that Huang Xiaowei was sent by their master, Sun Quan, to help them.
Not for any other reason, Sun Quan had made a lot of preparations to assassinate Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Basically, in the entire Dong Wu, only a few people other than Sun Quan knew about it.
These assassins were all men of sacrifice that Sun Quan had secretly nurtured for many years. Outsiders did not know of their existence at all. Only in this way could they ensure that after killing Liu Bei and Cao Cao, they would not be discovered.
Their master, Sun Quan, had also guaranteed that as long as they could succeed and retreat safely, they would be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory.
However, they might never know whether Sun Quan had left them wealth and glory or a bowl of poisonous wine.
After the assassin confirmed Huang Xiaowei's identity, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord. What do you think we should do next?"
Huang Xiaowei looked at him and said, "Four capable men come in with me. The rest of you stay at the door."
The assassin answered and carefully walked into Liu Bei's military tent with Huang Xiaowei, Mongolian, and four other assassins.
Once Huang Xiaowei entered the military tent, she squatted down and pointed in front of her in a very handsome manner. The assassins around her understood what she meant. They held the shining swords in their hands and tiptoed carefully towards a screen in the big tent, because Liu Bei was sleeping behind the screen.
At this moment, Huang Xiaowei gave Meng Tian a meaningful glance. Meng Tian nodded and then Huang Xiaowei reached out her hand to pat the assassin who was closest to her, then...
Just as the assassin turned his head, a baseball bat struck towards his head. The assassin looked at Huang Xiaowei in disbelief, then his eyes darkened and he fainted. At the same time, he cursed in his heart, "Where's the basic trust between people?"
