At Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei successfully fled back to the military camp, and then the whole city was covered with martial law. However, Deng Xian was a local tyrant. Since he dared to send someone to assassinate Liu Bei, he must have been prepared and no clues were left behind. So for a moment, Liu Bei found nothing.

However, some clues were found for those who assassinated Liu Chan. The clothes materials reported by these assassins were not produced in Shu, but were more common in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Moreover, the soldiers of Jiameng Pass also found that these people had just entered the pass. This made Liu Bei's doubts not increase but decreased.

However, Liu Chan vaguely understood the truth. The beggar and the group of people were sent to kill Liu Bei, while the professional assassins who came out later came to kill him!

Of course, Liu Bei's biggest enemy should belong to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao should not use this assassination method. Judging from the assassination method, it is obvious that the assassination person is familiar with the itinerary of Jiameng Pass and Liu Bei. It seems that this should be done by people from Shu.

It is obvious that the people who assassinated him are not the same as the people who assassinated Liu Bei. These assassins should be in the same group as the people who poisoned him! This is still the one who made the mistake of the black hand behind the scenes!

Without any clues, the matter had to be settled, but Liu Bei still strengthened the guards of Jiameng Pass. Now, patrolling soldiers can often be seen in Jiameng Pass.

...

Jiangdong, Jianye.

Seeing that Jianye City is full of large mansions, everyone in Jianye City knows that the industries of the big families in Jiangdong are concentrated here.

Zhou Shan walked to a courtyard and knocked on the door gently. After a while, an old man walked out of the door and gently opened a crack in the door.

The old man looked at Zhou Shan outside the door and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry to inform Lord Lu, and I'll say that my old friend Zhou Shan asked for a meeting!"

The old man walked in, and after a while, he came out again, leading Zhou Shan in.

In the house, there are pavilions, towers, small bridges, flowing water, strange rockery, and strange flowers and grass. The characteristics of Jiangnan gardens are everywhere, and it also shows that the owner of this house is definitely not an ordinary family.

The melodious sound of the piano came, and Zhou Shan looked in the direction of the piano. On a small building far away, a scholar in white was sitting on it, playing the piano. The scholar was about thirty years old, with white clothes as snow as snow, long hair, calm expression, and elegant voices filled the entire courtyard along the breeze.

This scholar is Lu Xun and Lu Boyan!

Lu Xun was born into the Lu family, one of the five major families in Jiangdong. Lu Xun's father died of illness when Lu Xun was very young. The Lu family has great business and has thousands of children. Logically speaking, people like Lu Xun who died of his father must not be favored. However, Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Kang was the patriarch of the Lu family, so Lu Xun's youth was not only not difficult, but also received a good education.

After Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, in order to win over the Jiangdong clans, he married his three daughters to the Lu family, the Gu family and the Zhu family of Jiangdong. Lu Xun married one of Sun Ce's daughters, who was also Sun Ce's son-in-law. Now the big house where Lu Xun lives is the dowry given by the Sun family.

Zhou Shan waited quietly under the attic. After a while, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and then Lu Xun walked down in white.

When Zhou Shan saw Lu Xun, he took out a letter from his arms without saying a word and handed it to Lu Xun, saying, "Mr. Lu, this is what my governor said during his lifetime. Please check it out!"

Lu Xun took the letter, opened it gently, read it carefully, then sighed softly, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Grandmaster, you know that your lord will attack you sooner or later, why bother..."

After saying that, Lu Xun raised his head and asked, "General Zhou, since the Grand Governor gave instructions during his lifetime, if General Zhou encounters difficulties, he can find it. Then the next definition is unavoidable! General Zhou asks!"

Lu Xun invited Zhou Shan to the hall and asked the servants to go out, then asked, "General Zhou, there are no outsiders here, General Zhou, please tell me!"

Zhou Shan nodded and said, "Lord Lu, that's right. I've been in Jingzhou these days!"

"Jingzhou?" Lu Xun was stunned, and immediately understood what Zhou Shan meant. Zhou Shan wanted to help Sun Shangxiang's son Liu Yong fight for Liu Bei's inheritance rights! Once Liu Yong obtains Liu Bei's inheritance rights, then the Sun family can control Liu Bei's power in disguise with Sun Shangxiang and Liu Yong!

For Liu Yong's successor, the biggest enemy is Liu Bei's eldest son Liu Chan! After all, Liu Chan is the eldest son. Since ancient times, he has been in order. With Liu Chan here, Liu Yong's chances are much smaller, so Zhou Shan must have gone to Jingzhou to kill Liu Chan!

At the same time, Lu Xun also knew that Zhou Shan was not a fuel-efficient lamp after Zhou Yu for many years, and Liu Chan was just a child without a mother. Killing such a child should be easy for Zhou Shan, but he came to him for this today. Is there any difficulty in this?

Thinking of this, Lu Xun asked, "General Zhou, are you here for the Adou?"

Zhou Shan nodded: "Mr. Lu, I am incompetent and can't even deal with a child!"

Lu Xun nodded, and then Zhou Shan told Lu Xun all about poisoning and sending people to assassinate him, and then said: "Master Lu, because of the poisoning, Zhuge Kongming has strengthened the security of the mansion. My people have no chance to start, and the people sent to assassinate have not succeeded. It seems that all the guards around Liu Bei are of high-level martial arts. Now I have no choice!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun smiled softly and said, "Liu Adu is Liu Bei's eldest son. Now he is by Liu Bei's side, so it is naturally not so easy to kill. In fact, General Zhou wants to kill Liu Adu just for Mr. Liu Yong! So as long as Mr. Liu Yong is made his heir by Liu Bei, it doesn't matter whether he kills Liu Chan or not!"

"What Lord Lu said is that Liu Chan is the eldest son. Since ancient times, he has been in order. With Liu Chan here, it may be difficult to establish Mr. Liu Yong!" Zhou Shan said.

"No, but if all the soldiers under Liu Bei support Mr. Liu Yong, it would be different!" Lu Xun said.

As soon as Lu Xun said this, Zhou Shan immediately understood that his ultimate goal was of course to help Liu Yong seize the inheritance rights, so he had to kill Liu Chan at all costs. But if most of the officials and generals under Liu Bei supported Liu Yong, then everything would be different.

In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, the order of the elders and young people is not as good as their strength. The two sons of Emperor Ling of Han are the best examples. Although the young emperor Liu Bian was the eldest son, he could not ascend the throne without the support of General He Jin. After He Jin's death, Liu Bian was simply deposed by Dong Zhuo and appointed Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie.

So once most of the officials under Liu Bei support Liu Yong, even if Liu Chan is the eldest son, Liu Yong's chances will still be much greater!

At this time, Lu Xun continued: "Now that Liu Bei's entry into Shu is a foregone conclusion. There are many clans in Shu. If Liu Bei wants to manage Bashu, he cannot do without these clan families. General Zhou now needs to get the support of these clan families in Shu!
