Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 420 What’s so difficult about this?

Even though Li Ji had vaguely guessed something about this scene, he was still stunned.

With such a level, ordinary people may not be able to reach it even after practicing for a hundred years.

This is a perfect display of arm strength, eyesight, and archery skills, and it also showcases Zhao Yun's amazing talent.

"Great! Zilong is really an excellent archer!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

It was not difficult to hit a target about fifty steps away. Even Liu Bei could hit it eight out of ten times. But what Zhao Yun did was to change the trajectory of Li Ji's arrow and hit the wild deer.

The difficulty involved is simply unimaginable.

Liu Bei asked himself, he was afraid that even if he spent his entire life he would never be able to achieve this level of archery skills.

On the other hand, Liu Bei also knew that even if he studied hard for another hundred years, he would still not be as wise as Li Ji.

This made Liu Bei realize even more the meaning of what Emperor Gaozu said: "He is not as good as others, but he can conquer the world."

Li Ji rode his horse towards the fallen wild deer and said with a smile, "Does this count as the prey I shot with my own hands?"

"Count! Of course I count." Liu Bei admitted with a big laugh.

"Hahaha, Ji thought that this good bow in his hand would become a kind bow, and would follow the principle of not shedding blood and not killing throughout his life. He didn't expect that with Zilong's help, he would break the rules." Li Ji couldn't help laughing.

"It's Yun's fault." Zhao Yun also echoed.

"Since it's Zilong's fault, then as a punishment, Zilong must eat an extra deer leg later."

Li Ji said this, then dismounted and prepared to barbecue right on the spot.

Since Liu Bei said that this trip was also for outing and fun, Li Ji naturally did not forget to bring salt, spices and several jars of fine wine.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun sent all the other prey he hunted along the way to the White Horse Volunteers who were following behind him, and asked the White Horse Volunteers to rest and eat on the spot, and also bring back the salt, spices and fine wine.

As for the issue of dealing with wild deer, it was not a problem for Li Ji and his group.

It is true that Zhang Fei was once a powerful person in Zhuo County, but on weekdays he would personally slaughter pigs and sheep and sell them in the market.

Therefore, how to deal with wild deer is an old skill for Zhang Fei.

When Zhao Yun returned, the wild deer had been properly processed by Zhang Fei and was being roasted on the firewood collected by Liu Bei and Li Ji.

Li Ji, who loves food the most, personally served as the chef and skillfully roasted the fresh wild deer until it smelled fragrant.

With several jars of fine wine to liven up the atmosphere, they sat on the ground and shared the venison.

For everyone, this was a long-lost sense of relaxation and happiness.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun all had big appetites, with Li Ji eating relatively less. However, they did not waste any venison gifted by nature, and finished the whole wild deer cleanly.

Just when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and were preparing to mount their horses and set off, the four war horses that were originally tied to the side became restless. Zhao Yun, who had the most acute senses, suddenly stood up and looked around.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"Zilong, what's wrong?"

The next moment, a gorgeous tiger slowly walked out from about forty steps away from the crowd, staring at Liu Bei, Li Ji and others not far away, obviously treating them as prey.

However, facing the sudden appearance of this ferocious tiger, Liu Bei and Li Ji looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If Li Ji encountered a tiger while walking alone in the wild, he would respectfully call out "Tiger King, please spare my life."

But with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei by his side, and both of them carrying weapons, Li Ji could only say that Xiao Huzi was somewhat walking into a trap.

Li Ji couldn't help but pat his belly and said.

"What a pity! We were already full when this tiger appeared. Otherwise, Ji would really like to try the taste of tiger meat."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Liu Bei also said with a smile. "Zilong, Yide, why don't you go get a piece of the best tiger meat for our military advisor so that he can have a taste of it tonight."

"Brother, leave it to me. I know which piece of meat is the most delicious!"

Zhang Fei shouted anxiously, fearing that Zhao Yun would get there first.

It's a rare opportunity that after having a good meal and a full drink, a tiger suddenly appears. Isn't this just the right thing to help digest the food?
Zhao Yun was humble and gentle in character, so he would not fight with Zhang Fei. He let Zhang Fei pick up the Zhangba Snake Spear, and then he strode towards the tiger as if he had seen some peerless beauty.

The tiger was more or less confused at this moment.

Tigers are not picky eaters, and it is not uncommon for them to eat strangers over the years.

But in the past, when people saw a tiger, they would almost always run away for their lives. No one would pounce on it like Zhang Fei did now.

Subconsciously, the gorgeous tiger let out a roar at Zhang Fei that shook the mountains and fields.

"Roar!"

However, Zhang Fei saw that the beast was not afraid of him and even dared to bare its teeth at him. He became furious and suddenly raised his voice like thunder.

"Hey!!!" This thunderous voice even overwhelmed the tiger's roar, making the tiger also feel frightened.

Moreover, Zhang Fei's extremely burly physique was approaching quickly, which actually made the tiger feel afraid. When seeing that Zhang Fei was about to get within ten steps, the tiger suddenly turned around and fled backwards.

"You beast, you still dare to run?!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei rushed forward almost without hesitation, and the man and the tiger disappeared from the sight of Liu Bei and others in the blink of an eye.

However, Liu Bei and others, who were well aware of Zhang Fei's fighting ability, were not in a hurry at all. They packed up their things slowly, took Zhang Fei's black horse, and followed the direction of the tiger's escape.

With the appearance of the ferocious tiger, Li Ji remembered that he almost forgot to report to Liu Bei about the ferocious tiger in Jiangdong.

"What? Brother Wen Tai was ambushed and killed?!"

When Liu Bei heard the news, his face was filled with sadness and he spoke with great emotion.

"Alas, Brother Wentai, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

At this moment, Liu Bei was truly heartbroken over the death of Sun Jian, otherwise there would be no need to pretend in front of his own people like Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

Even in Luoyang, the relationship between the two sides became somewhat strained due to the issue of the imperial seal.

However, the two sides had known each other for many years, and Liu Bei was able to have the final say in the anti-Dong alliance thanks to Sun Jian's support.

Furthermore, the dead are the greatest, and with Liu Bei's broad-mindedness, he naturally would not pursue Sun Jian's faults too much.

Immediately, Liu Bei thought of Sun Jian's family living in Wujun, and couldn't help but speak.

"If Madam Wu knew about this, it would be even more difficult for her to bear, right? Quan'er, Xiangxiang, and Yi'er are all young, and it must be so painful for them to lose their biological father."

"You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself. Sun Wentai has ended up like this, but he can't blame anyone else."

Li Ji also said with some emotion.

After all, Sun Jian's character was too strong, and it was difficult for him to listen to other people's advice. When he saw the jade seal, he became greedy and ambitious, but he didn't know what it meant to be guilty of possessing the jade seal.

With the territory Sun Jian now owns, even if he returns to Changsha and shows the imperial seal, it is still unknown whether he will be responded to by many people or will be attacked by many people.

Only if you are strong enough can you protect the imperial seal and make use of the righteousness and reputation that comes with the imperial seal for your own benefit.

It should be noted that even Zhao, one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, failed to keep the Heshi Bi in the end. How could Sun Jian think he could control such a treasure?

Not being able to see oneself clearly, and even less able to see the current situation clearly, and yet possessing a treasure, this is the way to death.

What Li Ji cared about was never whether Sun Jian was dead or not, but the key point, the Tao.

"Now that Sun Wentai is dead, the key point is that the imperial seal may have fallen into the hands of Liu Jingzhou."

"hiss……"

Liu Bei suddenly reacted and said with some uncertainty.

"Jingsheng is also a relative of the Han Dynasty and a pillar of the Han Dynasty. After he gets the jade seal, he should quickly return it to Luoyang and return it to Your Majesty, right?"

Li Ji did not comment on this.

Li Ji naturally collected a lot of information about Liu Biao's deeds and intelligence, but after all, Li Ji had never met Liu Biao in person, so it was difficult for him to make an accurate evaluation.

However, Zhao Yun, who had been following silently without disturbing Liu Bei and Li Ji, suddenly spoke.

"My lord, something is wrong. There is a sound of weapons clashing ahead."

Immediately, Liu Bei and Li Ji's expressions changed and they quickly sped up and headed forward.

After rushing through several blind spots that blocked the view, what came into view was Zhang Fei fighting fiercely with a warrior who was more than eight feet tall, with a waist that was ten times bigger than his waist, and holding a ring-handled broadsword.

The tiger that Zhang Fei was chasing had had one corner chopped to death and lay on the ground without any sign of life.

In addition, in the other direction from which Liu Bei and his companions came, there were more than a hundred young and strong men wearing cloth or leather armor made of fur, holding a variety of weapons and watching the fierce fight in the field.

When Liu Bei and others arrived, the more than a hundred people subconsciously showed vigilance towards Liu Bei and others, until they found that there were only three people coming, and then they relaxed again.

Liu Bei looked around the situation and felt a little relaxed.

In the fierce fight on the field, both sides naturally fought fiercely, but there was no tendency for them to fight to the death.

Moreover, this place was not far from Xu Village that Li Ji had originally mentioned. This made Liu Bei have some guesses in his mind, and he asked Li Ji in a low voice.

"Zikun, could this person be..."

Li Ji nodded slightly and agreed. "If nothing unexpected happens, this person is undoubtedly Xu Chu."

Zhang Fei's physique was considered extremely exaggerated among the entire Han Dynasty.

However, Xu Chu was undoubtedly stronger than Zhang Fei in terms of physique, and when the two sides were fighting, they seemed to be evenly matched in the contest of strength. It even felt that Zhang Fei was being suppressed in the infantry combat.

Li Ji naturally would not believe that there were so many coincidences in the world, and he certainly would not believe that a warrior as brave as Zhang Fei would just appear out of nowhere.

Therefore, the person who was fighting with Zhang Fei in the field was most likely the Xu Chu they were looking for.
