"...."
Zhou Teng and Li Su looked at each other in confusion.
"What to do?"
At this time, the two of them were frightened and regretted that they had not supported the construction of water conservancy projects just now.
Now, all the credit goes to Yang Hui and Yu Wenshuo, not to mention that they have left a very bad impression on Yuan Ke.
The two men's brains were working rapidly, thinking of ways to make amends.
"..."
After a while, Li Su had an idea.
He stepped out of the queue and raised his hand.
"Da Sima, I am willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver to repair the canals."
"oh?"
"Li Su, your method is very good."
"Mobilize the officials and gentry to donate money."
"good idea!"
"You will be in charge of this matter, and all donations will be registered."
"I will report to the imperial court and commend you."
Hearing this, Yuan Ke also praised the idea.
He also kept Li Su in mind.
This person is quite capable.
If there is a chance, maybe we can promote the other party.
"Thank you Da Sima!"
Li Su was overjoyed when he heard this.
He understood that the 5,000 taels of silver he had just donated was really worth it.
Not to mention receiving a commendation from Yuan Ke, he also got an errand.
Yuan Ke just said that the amount of silver donated will be recorded in the book and will be reported to the court in the future. The court will reward him. Although he is now the captain of Hanzhong County, his power is second only to the prefect and the county magistrate, but he still wants to climb up.
At this time, with this contribution of donating money, he may be able to continue to be promoted.
"I also donated 20,000 taels to repair the canals."
"I also donate money!"
"minister......"
Not long after, many civil and military officials from Hanzhong County who were accompanying him this time saw the situation and began to donate money enthusiastically.
"good!"
Yuan Ke said.
"good!"
Not long after, Yuan Ke finished his inspection and, under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, came to the station of Hanzhong Camp to express condolences to the newly recruited soldiers.
At the end of the day, when he returned to the prefect's mansion, he immediately asked people to boil water.
He wants to take a bath.
"Comfortable!"
In the bathtub dug a few days ago, Yuan Ke lay there very comfortably.
Outside the bathhouse, five hundred soldiers stood ready to protect Yuan Ke's safety.
Not a bird can fly in.
"Hurry up!"
"Da Sima's water has gone cold."
"add water!"
Amidst the commotion, a dozen servants from the Prefect's Mansion came outside the bath carrying hot water.
"take inspection!"
A soldier said loudly.
"Master Jun, we are here to deliver hot water."
This time the person leading the team was a man in his fifties.
His name is Liu Fu.
"Here... please check quickly. The hot water is cold and Da Sima will be angry."
"Huh?"
"It didn't seem like you just now, right?"
"Have you changed people?"
A soldier asked.
"Everyone from before has gone to eat. We just came over from shift change."
Liu Fu said with a smile.
"alright!"
After a while of inspection, the soldiers found nothing unusual and put the person in.
"Let go!"
"You guys should be smarter."
A group of servants immediately entered the room.
When these people just entered, one of them came to Yuan Ke's bath and whispered: "Sir, let's add hot water."
"good!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Add it!"
Yuan Ke said.
He was not wary of these people at all.
But he didn't notice the murderous look in these people's eyes.
The leader Liu Fu showed a fierce look in his eyes.
"Traitor Yuan Ke, it's time for you to die."
He came to the northwest corner of the room and opened a secret grid on the ground. There were many swords and crossbows inside. After that, they quietly equipped them.
Yuan Ke didn't notice anything unusual because of the sound of adding water.
Afterwards, Liu Fu commanded a dozen servants holding the crossbow, and they skillfully installed the crossbow.
"aim!"
"put!"
With an order, dozens of arrows flew towards Yuan Ke like rain.
call out!
call out!
call out!
There was a sound of arrows piercing the air. Yuan Ke, who was taking a bath, finally sensed the approaching danger with his extraordinary spiritual sense. He immediately threw himself into the bathtub. However, even though he dodged in time, he still received an arrow on his right back, and his blood flowed. The bathtub immediately turned red.
"kill!"
Liu Fu waved his hand, and the servants who had just entered immediately threw away their crossbows and slowly moved towards the bath.
At this time, the soldiers outside were still unaware of the danger.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
The leader turned out to be Xu Miaoyun.
As soon as she appeared, she immediately said loudly: "Go and protect Da Sima!"
"lady!"
Someone didn't know why and asked.
"Those water delivery guys who just came here are assassins."
"Da Sima is in danger!"
"quick!"
Xu Miaoyun said loudly.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the soldiers at the door of the room immediately knocked on the door and broke in.
"What?"
"No, I was discovered."
"quick!"
At this time, the dozen murderers in the room couldn't help but panic.
"Kill the thief Yuan Ke and avenge our dead brothers."
Liu Fu said loudly.
When these people came to the edge of the bath, suddenly a figure jumped out of the bath.
This person is none other than Yuan Ke.
There was an arrow stuck in his right shoulder.
"kill!"
Yuan Ke ignored the injury on his shoulder. He walked out of the bath and walked up to one of the assailants. He grabbed the other's knife-wielding hand with one hand and pulled it off with force.
"ah--"
"it hurts!"
"my hand!"
One arm was bloody and held in Yuan Ke's hand.
As for the murderer with a broken arm, he was rolling on the ground.
"Come on, if you want to kill me, you are worthy."
Yuan Ke's ferocity frightened Liu Fu and others.
"You, you are a devil!"
These murderers began to fear Yuan Ke.
Yuan Ke threw away the broken arm and picked up the knife on the ground.
"Today, you will all die here."
He took a step forward, holding a knife in his right hand. As the knife flashed, the murderer who had just lost his arm had his throat cut and died.
"kill!"
Next, it’s Yuan Ke’s personal performance time.
That knife is too fast.
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
The dozen or so murderers were all killed by Yuan Ke in a short time.
After that, only Liu Fu was still alive, but his arms were chopped off by Yuan Ke.
"Tell me, who asked you to come, and who else is your party member?"
"Do you still have any of your accomplices in the Prefect's Mansion?"
Yuan Ke asked viciously.
"I won't tell anyone with the surname Yuan, so just give up."
As soon as Liu Fu said what he said, Yuan Ke swung his sword and killed him.
"you--"
Even to his death, Liu Fu could not understand why Yuan Ke wanted to kill him?
"Ye Chen, are you okay?"
Xu Miaoyun walked in at this time.
"I'm fine!"
"Come here, let me hang the bodies of these people at the entrance of the vegetable market."
"Go and summon Cheng Yaojin."
Yuan Ke said.
"yes!"
A group of soldiers immediately took the order.
"ah--"
"Ye Chen, you were hit by an arrow."
"Quickly, please bring Dr. Xu."
Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned pale with fright.
"Don't panic. I'm in good health. I have a few minor injuries but it's not a problem."
Yuan Ke said very bravely.
clatter!
clatter
clatter!
The assassination of Da Sima immediately caused a sensation in Nanzheng City. Hanzhong Camp and Yuan Ke's personal troops immediately took action and blocked the entire city.
After that, a large number of people began to search for the thief.
Not long after, Doctor Xu arrived.
He took out the arrow for Yuan Ke.
This man's medical skills are truly amazing.
"Miracle Doctor Xu, thank you."
Yuan Ke said.
"Da Sima, it is the sacred duty of doctors like us to save lives and heal the wounded. No need to thank you. On the contrary, I admire your determination, Da Sima. During the operation just now, you didn't even moan in pain."
Doctor Xu said.
As a healer, he knew exactly how painful it was to dig out the arrows just now.
Not something ordinary people can endure.
The Great Sima in front of him did not snort. This kind of will was truly terrifying. He asserted that Yuan Ke would conquer the world in the future.
"Miracle Doctor Xu, you are so complimentary."
Yuan Ke said modestly.
"Da Sima, I will prepare some medicine for you. As long as you take a good rest, you should feel better soon."
After Divine Doctor Xu finished speaking, he copied down the prescription.
"good!"
After everything settled, Yuan Ke waited for Cheng Yaojin and Yang Hui in the bedroom.
As Yuan Ke's cronies, they were extremely angry about Yuan Ke's assassination.
"My lord, I will hunt down all these thieves."
Cheng Yaojin felt quite guilty.
