Chapter 24

At the same time, Liu Bei was wandering in his camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

For some reason, he only felt a turmoil in his heart, as if there was always an invisible thread lying in front of him, preventing him from reaching what he wanted.

"I don't know what happened to the second and third brothers, and what happened to Kong Ming and Zilong?"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei planned to call another bodyguard over and send them out to investigate.

However, at this moment, there was only a whoosh sound, and a sharp arrow pierced through his tent and shot straight at him.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Liu Bei immediately grabbed the sharp arrow, rolled over on the spot, and blocked his body with the table.

"who is it?"

He was startled, and was about to use his life-soul ability to summon people to track down the assassin, but found that no more arrows came in afterward.

He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the arrow in his hand, only to find that the arrow didn't even have an arrow attached, only the body of the arrow, and a piece of cloth was tied on the body of the arrow.

Curiously, Liu Bei spread out a strip of cloth with only ten words written on it: Zhou Yu wants to kill Zhuge, so return to Jiangxia quickly.

Seeing this handwriting, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei quickly stood up and ran out of the tent, but he looked around but saw no sign of anyone.

This made him feel even more uneasy.

After thinking for a while, he called his own soldiers and ordered them to leave the camp immediately with [-] soldiers and horses, and go to Nanping Mountain to support the army division.

After making these arrangements, Liu Bei was still not at ease. He rode a horse and inspected the camp for a week, and finally ordered the remaining soldiers and horses of the whole camp, went into battle lightly, abandoned the camp and set off, returning to Jiangxia.

However, not long after he left the camp with his soldiers and horses, he bumped into Lu Su's army head-on.

Looking at Lu Su's "friendly army" fighting openly, as well as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and other famous generals in the army, Liu Bei's heart sank to the extreme.

"Zijing, why did you come to me instead of chasing Thief Cao?" After a distance of about ten meters, Liu Bei reined in his horse and stopped moving forward, asking loudly.

Seeing Liu Bei's movements, Lu Su narrowed his eyes.

He also noticed that there were fewer soldiers behind Liu Bei than they had expected.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Fei took away 1 soldiers and horses, Guan Yu only took away two people, and there should be at least [-] people guarding Liu Bei's side.

As a result, there are only a hundred people now.

Lu Su was a little confused about the reality of the other party. After thinking about it, he decided to test it out: "Mr. Xuande, we heard that you sent General Guan and General Zhang to chase Cao thief. I am worried that there are not enough guards around you. I have been harassed by thieves, so I come here to ask you to follow me and take shelter in the camp of the great governor."

Although Liu Bei would be a little reckless from time to time in order to revive the Han Dynasty, but he has been battle-tested after all, so how could he not understand the plan in Lu Su's words.

Hearing this, he immediately threw the arrow tied with a cloth strip in front of Lu Su, and asked loudly, "Is what the cloth strip says true?"

Lu Su took the cloth strip, opened it, and was shocked. He didn't expect that this matter would be revealed so quickly.

However, he is the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms after all, and he quickly regained his composure when encountering an accident.

After thinking for a while, he replied loudly: "The governor and Kong Ming are close friends, and they cherish each other, so how could they kill him? This must be the plot of the thief Cao, who intends to separate us, Sun and Liu. Lord Xuande will come back with me." In the commander's camp, the truth can be seen at a glance."

Liu Bei laughed when he heard the words, he didn't say anything more, and immediately drew out his male and female twin swords.

As soon as he heard Lu Su's words, he understood the other party's intention. He wanted to take advantage of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's departure and put him under house arrest, so as to order his subordinates.

"Sigh, I didn't expect it to be as expected by Kong Ming."

Before Kong Ming left, he had reminded him to be careful of the Jiangdong army's rebellion, and to keep at least one of Zilong, Yide, and Yunchang by his side, or, if there were no above three, at least [-] Elite soldiers.

But he was still stubborn and sent them all out, so that there was no one around him at this time.

"It's just a pity that I have a hundred siblings who follow me. If I want to break out of the siege here, I'm afraid I will lose most of them."

Thinking of this in Liu Bei's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, he has always been like this, he cares more about the people he protects than his own safety.

On Lu Su's side, when he saw Liu Bei draw out the male and female swords, he already knew that they had no way out.

Although I don't know who wrote this notice, but now it seems that Liu Bei believed what the notice said, and sent the remaining [-] elite soldiers to Nanping Mountain to rescue Zhuge Liang. Godsend.

"Sure enough, my fate is in my Jiangdong!"

Thinking so, Lu Su waved his hands, signaling Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Zhou Taice to go forward immediately and capture the lonely Liu Bei alive.

However, at this moment, a burst of continuous explosions suddenly sounded in Lu Su's army, and countless bright fireworks exploded at their feet, causing everyone to fall on their backs, and the scene was full of smoke and dust.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a crisp voice in his ear: "Mr. Xuande, come with me quickly."

"what?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback again, but before he could react, his horse was slapped by the woman, who led him into the woods.

However, before they could escape far, Liu Bei stopped his horse and said, "Wait! There are still my hundred siblings!"

"Now at this time, how can you have time to take care of your guards!"

When the woman heard Liu Bei's words, she suddenly became angry.

She wanted to turn her head away and leave this idiot alone.

But seeing that he was still obstinately planning to return, he could only sigh and put his hand on his horse's bridle.

"You fool! If you don't go back, Lu Su and Zhou Yu won't be able to catch you, so they won't dare to attack your guards. But once you go back and are caught by them, all of your hundred guards will die Already!"

Hearing the woman's words, Liu Bei suddenly realized. After thinking for a while, he said, "What you said is indeed reasonable. I understand. Shang Xiang, thank you."

After a pause, Liu Bei asked again: "It's just... why are you here?"

The woman named Shangxiang by Liu Bei heard the words, but she didn't rush to answer. She put her finger on her lips, signaling Liu Bei not to speak.

Then, she pulled the two horses out of the woods, slapped them on the buttocks, and let them run westward.

After doing all this, she returned to Liu Bei's side and said:

"You are my husband, Sun Shangxiang."

"I know my husband is in trouble, so I come here to help, why not?"
