Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 328: Second visit to the thatched cottage, Liu Biao panicked!
The territory of Jingzhou is Nanyang County in the northeast, borders Sili in the north, and faces Yuzhou in the east. It is the northeastern gateway of Jingzhou.

At this moment, on a hill to the west of Nanyang County, hundreds of riders were moving slowly along the mountain road. The rider in the front was Gu Rubing, who was on his way to Jingzhou to visit Liu Biao in person.

Zhao Yun followed behind Gu Rubing, and if there was any disturbance, Zhao Yun could protect Gu Rubing at the first moment.

And those hundreds of cavalrymen were the elite among the elite selected from the soldiers of the three armies. Each of them was a veteran of hundreds of battles and was very powerful.

Even compared with Guan Yu's personal soldiers, the Qinglong swordsmen, and Zhang Fei's personal soldiers, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, they are not much inferior, but they do not have the bonus of special military type transfer.

Hundreds of riders walked together in the long and narrow mountain path, like a giant python, winding upwards, as if swallowing the entire hill into its belly.

Zhao Yun, who was following behind Gu Rubing, was a little confused. After entering Nanyang County, his lord suddenly changed the established route, took a detour, and came to the hill west of Nanyang County.

However, Zhao Yun, who knew Gu Rubing's character well, did not ask any more questions. No matter what his lord did, there must be a reason for it.

At this moment, Gu Rubing, even though he was accustomed to big scenes and was already one of the three major princes today, and had the momentum to become the strongest prince, was still a little nervous after coming here.

"By the way, aren't we going to visit Liu Biao? Why did we take a detour right after arriving in Jingzhou? Could it be that Liu Caoxie has a bad map navigation? Does he know a shortcut?"

"What the hell is this evil map navigation."

"Have you forgotten? Liu Caoxie has never done anything in vain. He started from weaving mats and selling shoes, and has come step by step to where he is now. Liu Caoxie has never done anything in vain."

"Trivia: every choice and every action Liu Caoxie has made since the beginning of the game has been very useful!"

"Damn, it seems to be true now. Could it be that Liu Caoxie has a God's perspective?"

"With your God's perspective, can you do what Liu Caoxie did in the game?"

"Hey, do you feel that Liu Caoxie has become more and more taciturn since coming to Nanyang County? [doubt.jpg]"

"Indeed, especially when we arrived at Wolonggang, Liu Caoxie felt numb all over."

"Liu Caoxie has seen the world after all, and he is also a great lord. Why does he feel so timid now?"

"Are you sure Liu Caoxie is nervous and trembling? Why do I feel like he is extremely excited, so excited that he is shaking?"

"+1, our Liu Caoxie wasn't nervous when he was fighting Yuan Shao, but now he is so nervous, it's obvious that he is excited."

"Then the question arises again, what is there for Liu Caoxie to be excited about in this desolate mountain? And why is he so excited?"

"Where are the experts? Experts, come out and analyze what's going on with Liu Caoxie?"

"The experts were completely defeated when Liu Caoxie decided to go to Jingzhou two days ago."

"Well... according to my analysis by well-known experts, Liu Caoxie must have his own ideas and wants to do something big!"

"nonsense!"

"Listening to your words is better than just one word."

"Come on, come on, tell me where your home is and I'll treat you to a meal."

"Wolonggang, what does that mean? There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Could it be that there is some hidden boss here?"

"What the above person said makes some sense. Otherwise, why did Liu Caoxie go to Jingzhou in person, but then took a detour after entering Jingzhou?"

Countless barrages of comments floated across Gu Rubing's live broadcast room. Ever since Gu Rubing decided to go to Jingzhou in person two days ago, his live broadcast room has been filled with speculations about his trip all the time. Other anchors even seized the traffic and followed suit to start a guessing game. For a while, the traffic exploded.

Amid the heated discussions among countless netizens, Gu Rubing arrived at the Wolonggang slope. Gu Rubing turned over and dismounted. Although Zhao Yun was puzzled, he followed suit. Gu Rubing turned around and said.

“Wait here, and do not trample on the nearby farmland, and do not disturb the people who are working nearby.”

"promise!"

When Gu Rubing dismounted, hundreds of riders had already dismounted and were waiting for orders.

"Zilong, follow me up the mountain."

The two of them led the horses towards the thatched hut on Wolong Hill.

Gu Rubing was extremely excited at this moment. If he knew that those netizens mocked him for being nervous, he would definitely scold those netizens.

Nonsense! Do you know who is in there?

That was the prime minister! A prime minister of all ages! One of the ten sages in the Temple of Martial Arts! He was also in the Temple of Confucianism! There are 100 pages of history books covering 29 years, three of which are about the Three Kingdoms, and one page for the prime minister himself! After his death, he made Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, keep the throne for years with a letter of thanks to him!
Even though more than a thousand years have passed, people in later generations still want the prime minister to win! The high-speed train from Chengdu to Xi'an is priced at 263, just to commemorate the prime minister!
It would be strange if Gu Rubing was not nervous when meeting such a legendary big shot.

As the thatched cottage got closer, Gu Rubing's nervous mood finally relaxed. His previous nervousness was only due to his admiration for the prime minister and his excitement to meet him soon.

Outside the thatched cottage, Gu Rubing personally rang the doorknob. The knocking sound echoed in the silent hills around. Soon, the door opened, and a young servant boy stuck his head out, looking at Gu Rubing and Zhao Yun in confusion.

"Master, who are you looking for?"

"Liu Bei, please see you, sir!"

Gu Rubing smiled at the servant boy, who scratched his braid and said with some embarrassment.

"The gentleman went out this morning and has not come back yet."

Gu Rubing understood clearly in his heart that, just as he remembered, the Prime Minister was testing him.

"Excuse me, where have you been, sir?"

"do not know."

"May I ask when you will be back, sir?"

"I don't know, three to five days? Ten days?"

"When you return, please tell me that Liu Bei is visiting you."

The servant nodded when he heard this and closed the wooden door.

Gu Rubing and Zhao Yun were walking side by side, holding their horses, thinking about something in their minds. Zhao Yun was even more confused. Did his lord take a long detour just to visit this so-called gentleman?

Gu Rubing was thinking about another person, Cui Jun, whom Liu Bei met when he first visited Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although this person did not leave any trace in the novel, the fact that he could become close friends with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu must have made him no simple man.

After searching for several times in Wolonggang, Gu Rubing did not see Cui Jun, who was supposed to appear in Wolonggang. He felt sorry, but immediately realized that his visit to Zhuge Liang this time was not at the same time as Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang in history. Although he faced the same test, he could not meet Cui Jun like Liu Bei in history.

Gu Rubing brought Zhao Yun back to the outskirts of Nanyang County. Among the hundreds of riders, only a dozen followed Gu Rubing into the city. After the gate guards verified Gu Rubing's identity, they were all a little shocked. After all, the news of Liu Bei's victory over Yuan Shao had spread, and now many people respectfully called Liu Bei "Uncle Liu".

I went into the city, found a hotel, and stayed there.

The next day, just as the sky in the east was turning pale, the city of Nanyang County became bustling. It turned out that there was a heavy snowfall. As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest, and this snowfall touched the hearts of the people.

Gu Rubing led Zhao Yun and dozens of riders out of the city, and after joining up with the other hundred riders who were camped outside the city, they headed for Wolonggang again.

The heavy snow seemed to have covered the earth with a silver-white quilt, burying the traces of several battles that had taken place not long ago.

It was still the same place as yesterday. Gu Rubing ordered his soldiers to wait here and went up the mountain again with Zhao Yun.

It was snowing heavily and the road ahead was difficult to travel. Fortunately, Diluma and Zhaoye Jade Lion were both rare Arabian horses, and they could travel on the snow as if they were walking on flat ground.

Arriving outside the thatched cottage, Gu Rubing knocked on the wooden door again with his own hands. The knocking sound was finally no longer silent, and it matched the rustling sound of the falling snow perfectly, like a sound made by nature.

After waiting for a long time and still no one responded, Gu Rubing had to ring the door knocker again. This time, as the sound of the door knocker faded away, the same servant boy from last time poked his head out again.

"Hey, it's you again."

The young servant recognized Liu Bei, after all, he had been here once yesterday.

Gu Rubing nodded and smiled.

"I wonder if Mr. Wolong will come back today?"

"came back."

The servant boy twirled his hair with one hand and held onto the door frame with the other, looking outside. Gu Rubing was briefly stunned. Something was wrong. This didn't fit the script. This was only the second time, so how come he was already at home?

"But he left again. This morning, Cui Zhouping invited you to go boating and drink. I don't know when he will return."

The servant's words made Gu Rubing want to roll his eyes. This kid is too naughty.

"Then please tell Mr. Wolong that Liu Bei is here to visit."

The servant nodded and locked Daxue and Gu Rubing outside the door.

After being rejected again, Gu Rubing was not at all displeased and walked down the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Yun finally couldn't help it and poured out all his questions.

"My lord, you went to Jingzhou in person to cover up your tracks and visit that gentleman in person?"

"Yes, whether we can maintain our strength, stand firm, or even turn defeat into victory in this situation where we are attacked from all sides, depends on Mr. Wolong."

A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the heads and shoulders of the two men, making them look like two walking snowmen. After the heavy snow fell on Diluma and Zhaoye Jade Lion, it evaporated instantly and turned into water droplets, trickling down.

"This Mr. Wolong, does he have such ability?"

Zhao Yun was even more puzzled. Who was this Mr. Wolong? The lord had so many capable advisers under his command, and they were all somewhat helpless in the current situation. And the lord actually said that this Mr. Wolong could help them gain a firm foothold and even have a chance to turn defeat into victory?

Gu Rubing did not give a direct answer to Zhao Yun, but just used a sentence from the novel.

"If you can get one of the two, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, you can bring peace to the world."

Hearing this, netizens in the live broadcast room became excited again.

"Oh my god, if you can get one of them, you can rule the world? This is too high!"

"Mr. Wolong, just the name sounds awesome! I suspect that Mr. Wolong may replace Second Master and become the new generation of the King of Boldness in the future!"

"Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, why do they sound so unkind? A bit like those two smart guys? [Pointing at people laughing.jpg]"

"Uncle Shen, oh Uncle Shen, you have turned Crouching Dragon and Phoenix into insults by your own strength!"

"No, didn't you pay attention to the main point? The main point shouldn't be what Liu Caoxie said, can Mr. Wolong help him turn defeat into victory?"

"Bump your brother."

"We are sandwiched between Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu, and are attacked from both sides. No matter which side we fight, the other side will take advantage of us. The only foreign aid who could possibly take action did not choose to do so, but only gave an ambiguous attitude, and even wanted to share half of the fruits of victory after we win. This is a dead end no matter how you look at it."

"After being rejected twice, Liu Caoxie didn't even get angry at all. It seems that Mr. Wolong is really not an ordinary person!"

"Could it be that Liu Caoxie came to Jingzhou in person not to visit Liu Zhongdi, but to visit Mr. Wolong?"

"Crouching Dragon and Phoenix may not be very smart people in real life, but in this kind of game, they are either at the ceiling of IQ or the ceiling of force!"

"No, man! You really understand? I thought you were all just bragging like me!"

Gu Rubing's actions had paralyzed the audience in the live broadcast room who were watching from a bird's eye view, not to mention Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

At this moment in the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, in the hall, Liu Biao sat at the first seat, with his advisers and generals on both sides.

"Tell me, Liu Bei released the news that he was going to visit me in person, but why did he stop at Nanyang County?"

Liu Biao was worried. It was like, if you knew you were going to be beaten tomorrow, you wouldn't worry too much because it would be over after the beating. But if you only knew you were going to be beaten but didn't know when, then you would keep worrying about when the beating would come. Liu Biao had this mentality now.

Gu Rubing's abnormal behavior made Liu Biao feel uneasy. When he learned that Liu Bei had not set out today, Liu Biao hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Kuai Liang, Liu Biao's chief strategist, held a warm stove in his hands with a solemn look on his face. He had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but there was no reason that could explain the current situation. Beside Kuai Liang, a burly and majestic man spoke first.

"Then Liu Bei suddenly went to Wolongpo, west of Nanyang County, twice. I think he must have some purpose. It was so cold, so he must be after people instead of things."

The one who spoke was Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang's younger brother. He had the appearance and physique of a peerless general, but he was a strategist. He had a sharp angle in analyzing problems and took an unconventional approach. He was completely opposite to his brother Kuai Liang, yet complementary to him. He was one of the indispensable strategists under Liu Biao.

"Who is it? Who?"

Liu Biao was a little confused. Could it be that there was some hidden master in Wolongpo, Nanyang?

"Someone who can change the current situation?"

Kuai Liang, holding the stove in his hand, suddenly said this, which startled Liu Biao.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful as to why he didn't accept Liu Bei's invitation to form an alliance, but when he thought of Sun Jian who was eyeing him covetously, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. For some reason, Liu Biao always felt that the real purpose of Liu Bei's trip to Jingzhou was Wolongpo, west of Nanyang County!
