"Trigger hidden side mission: Heaven punishes traitors!

"Task requirements: Kill the fake emperor Yuan Shu, and kill the traitors of the Han Dynasty in heaven!

“Complete Reward: Universal Point 10000, Yellow Force Crystal*2.

"Note: This hidden branch is an optional task. If the reincarnation person chooses to accept it, he must kill Yuan Shu within ninety days. If the deadline is not completed, 10,000 general points will be deducted, and the Yellow Force Crystal*2 will be deducted.

"Accept this hidden side mission?"

After listening to the task instructions of the Hall of Reincarnation, Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment.

This is the first time since he entered the Hall of Reincarnation that he saw a task of failure punishment appear. In the previous tasks, whether it is the main line or the branch line, failure will be without punishment. This time, not only is there a punishment, but the punishment is also quite severe.

If Ouyang Jing accepted the task but failed to complete it, then even if he completed the "Shadow Warrior" mission, the reward he would receive in the end would be deducted by two-thirds!

"Within ninety days...that is to say, I will first defeat Cao Cao within these ninety days, and then rush to Shouchun without stopping to capture the city and kill Yuan Shu..."

Ouyang Jing was in a dilemma for a moment.

Although Shouchun is not too far from Xia Pi, it can even be said to be close to you - otherwise Lu Bu would not have tried to send Lu Lingqi to Shouchun for marriage in person - but Shouchun is the ancient capital of Chu and a historical city larger than Xia Pi.

The city is more than twelve miles long from north to south, nine miles wide from east to west, and forty-two miles long. It is more than three times the circumference of Xia Pi. The city faces water on three sides, and the moat is ten to thirteen meters wide. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, even if Ouyang Jing can lead his troops to Shouchun in time within the time limit, even if Liu Bei gets a general and helps him, it is impossible to capture this city within the time limit of the mission.

"This mission is almost impossible to complete... If you have enough time, you can try to do it. Unfortunately, the time limit is too tight and it must be within ninety days... I have not even repelled Cao Cao, and I don't know when the battle for Xia Pi will end. Where can I get the time to fight Shouchun?"

Ouyang Jing wanted to choose not to accept it, so as not to fail to complete the task as scheduled, resulting in a reverse reward, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Wait! The task requirement seems to be... Heaven kills the traitor, kills Yuan Shu? Ha, kills Yuan Shu!"

He laughed three times and chose to accept the task without hesitation.

Liu Bei was waiting patiently for Ouyang Jing's answer when he suddenly saw him laughing loudly and was about to ask: "Why did Mr. Wen laugh?"

Ouyang Jing smiled and said, "Xuande, you have a good plan. You want me to give Xia Pi to you and bring your own troops to join Yuan Shu! If I fight with Yuan Shu in a defeat, will you be able to fulfill your wishes?"

Liu Bei said: "Wen Hou misunderstood, how could Bei have such an intention? Yuan Shu was indeed very powerful, but since he usurped himself as the pseudo-emperor, he has been betrayal of his relatives. At the end of last year, there was a severe drought and famine in Huaiyang. Not only did Yuan Shu not release food to save disasters, but he also imposed more and more severe taxes, resulting in the tragedy of cannibalism in the Jianghuai area...

"Now that Yuan Shushi's heart, military spirit, and people's hearts are all lost, and his situation is even worse than that of Marquis Wen. With Marquis Wen's courage and invincible, wouldn't it be easy to defeat Yuan Shu?"

Liu Bei was right. Yuan Shu was once very powerful. Many future Sun Wu men like Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, etc. all worked under Yuan Shu.

However, as soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce took the lead in breaking up with him. Zhou Yu also defected to Sun Ce this year and abandoned Yuan. The rest of the civil and military officials were also separated.

Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor was even punished by heaven. At the end of last year, his territory suddenly suffered a severe drought and famine. Yuan Shu did not care about the people, but instead imposed more severe taxes, so that people in the Jianghuai area competed to eat, and nine out of ten households were empty.

The most speechless thing is that Yuan Shu was levying heavy taxes not to ensure the military expenses, but to his own extravagance and enjoyment. His army was as hungry and cold as the people. So much so that in order to have a meal, several generals under his command actually led their troops to become bandits...

All kinds of incompetent behaviors have caused Yuan Shu, who once once shocked Huainan, looked at Jiangdong, and was known as the second Yuan together with Yuan Shao, Hebei, to decline at an astonishing speed. Now, it has become a declining place, no longer as famous as a year or two ago.

However, no matter how weak Yuan Shu was, he was still a pseudo-emperor who had the Majestic City of Shouchun. If he wanted to defeat Yuan Shu head-on, it would be absolutely impossible to use the pitiful forces under Lu Bu.

Ouyang Jing knew that Liu Bei was trying to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, but he was too lazy to argue with Liu Bei, and said, "Xuande, you should prepare the food I want first. As for the matter of giving up Xia Pi, this matter is too important, so let me think twice."

"It should be." Liu Bei stood up and bowed: "Bei has nothing else to do, so he will take his leave."

"Xuande walks slowly." Ouyang Jing said with a smile: "Xuande goes back and forth twice, and the road is familiar. Today I won't send you my brother."

After Liu Bei left, Ouyang Jing pondered for a while and suddenly shouted: "Lingqi."

The secret meeting between Ouyang Jing and Liu Bei was too important to let go of the slightest news. Therefore, Lu Lingqi personally guarded the door of the two meetings.

At this time, when he heard Ouyang Jing's greeting, Lu Lingqi stepped in and replied: "My father, why are you calling me?"

Ouyang Jing stared at Lu Lingqi and said, "From tonight until the morning of the next day, I will be in seclusion in the secret room for these two nights and one day. Tomorrow you will ride a Red Rabbit Horse and hold a square halberd to patrol the city defense on my behalf. If there are guests coming tomorrow night, help me block it and let them come again the next day."

"Yes, my father." Lu Lingqi responded first and asked curiously: "My father, why did he suddenly go into seclusion?"

Ouyang Jing smiled and said, "Of course, the digestion and inheritance have reached a critical moment. Well, Lingqi, go and rest, I'm going to start seclusion soon."

"Yes, my father." Lu Lingqi nodded, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ouyang Jing again.

"By the way, Lingqi, I have something to explain."

Ouyang Jing took out a stack of Cai Hou paper and handed it to Lu Lingqi: "Tomorrow morning, hand this drawing to the craftsman and ordered them to create the objects drawn on the drawing. Remember, within ten days, I will see four hundred finished products."

Lu Lingqi took the drawings, looked through them, and said strangely: "My father, what is this? It looks like a carriage, but why there are no wheels? Why do you need to install two under the carriage... Well, a shoulder pole?"

"You will know then." Ouyang Jing did not explain and signaled Lu Lingqi to go back and rest.

After Lu Lingqi held the drawings and went down with a puzzled look on her face, Ouyang Jing got up and came to the large map hanging in the hall, carrying her hands on her back, and silently looking at the map.

After a while, he whipped his sleeves, turned off the lights in the hall, left the lobby, left the left and right, and came to the backyard of the governor's mansion alone.

Listening intently for a while, confirming that no one is around, Ouyang Jing jumped out of the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the vast night...
