Chapter 218 Taking Office in Jingzhou
"Big Brother"

"Big Brother"

On the outskirts of Luoyang, the cold wind made everyone's hair and beards flutter. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both clasped their fists and looked at Liu Bei with burning eyes.

Zhang Fei's eyes seemed to be filled with tears: "Brother, I don't know when we will meet again. You must be careful in Jingzhou."

"." Guan Yu, stroking his beard, glanced at Zhang Fei speechlessly, pursed his lips, and thought: Third brother, we will be able to meet again in the fairyland and the afterlife in a few months, is it necessary to make it look like a farewell of life and death?
This is what he thought in his heart, but when Guan Yu opened his mouth, he said: "Brother, I feel the same way."

Liu Bei patted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the shoulders and laughed, "Don't worry, I have Zi Jing for literature and An Rui for martial arts, so why should we worry about not accomplishing great things?!"

His laughter was loud and he didn't try to hide it at all.

Wang Yue, who was holding a sword not far away, became excited when he heard this. An Rui was his name. He touched his temples subconsciously. His hair was originally long, but now it was empty.

My thoughts can't help but go back to my first meeting with Liu Bei.

At that time, under the introduction of Xu Jing, Wang Yue finally met the Liu Bei he had been longing for.

Without waiting for a few words of greeting, the Marquis of Xixiang, who he considered to be out of his league, actually proposed a contest of martial arts.

The excuse was, "I've been in Luoyang, my muscles and bones have become quite weak, and I'm itching to do something. Why don't we have a competition with An Rui?"

This was exactly what Wang Yue wanted. As a famous swordsman in Luoyang, his lifelong hobbies were drinking, teaching, and visiting famous swordsmanship masters.

You should know that among the most popular "Liangzhou Popular Romance" in Luoyang today, among the twenty-four generals of Liangzhou, Liu Xuande ranks first, not to mention that he is also a swordsman!
He wanted to speak, but he always felt embarrassed. He never expected that Liu Bei would painstakingly express his thoughts. How could this not move him, and how could this not make a swordsman use his best skills to respond? !

With a strong desire to fight, Wang Yue, holding a long sword in his hand, beat the drum to charge towards Liu Bei.

then
He lost.

The proof was a strand of hair on his temple.

'You are worthy of being the number one general in Liangzhou!'

Wang Yue looked at Liu Bei eagerly.

Feeling a similar gaze coming from behind, Liu Bei didn't even need to turn around. He could guess with just his toes that it was Wang Yue.

In fact, he won that battle with great difficulty. If Wang Yue had not asked him to use a two-handed sword, he would not have won anyway.

At this time, Zhang Fei wiped his eyes randomly, leaned close to Liu Bei's ear, and looked at Wang Yue behind Liu Bei. He said in a voice that only the three brothers could hear clearly: "Brother, I see that Wang Yue is very skilled in martial arts. If you want to charge into the battle, just let him charge in front."

For some reason, Wang Yue shuddered.

Guan Yu cleared his throat and said, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Wang Yuesheng is good at training fencing men. If you let him charge into battle, it would be a waste of his talent!"

"Second brother." Zhang Fei muttered, "I was just joking."

"OK OK."

Liu Bei patted the two men on the shoulders and said, "I won't say any more."

He clasped his fists towards Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Second brother, third brother, pay more attention!"

"Brother, have a safe trip!"

Liu Bei nodded, turned around and walked towards the team that had been waiting for a long time. He looked up at Qian Zhao, Wang Yue, Le Yin and the 1,000 Bai Li soldiers in reserve. He turned over and rode on Lu, whipping his whip and heading straight for Jingzhou.
"Set off."

"An Rui, why don't you see your disciples?"

"Replying to Xixiang Hou, are you asking about Shi A?"

"good"

"I asked him to go to Qiao County, Pei State"

"Qiao County? Are you going to accept Cao Pi as your disciple?"

"Exactly."

On the way to Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Wang Yue chatted occasionally. As a knight-errant, Liu Bei was not used to riding in a carriage, while Wang Yue, a swordsman, was always on the go and was against riding in carriages.

As for Qian Zhao, he took care of Le Yin in the carriage.

"Sir, the front is the border of Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou"

Liu Bei, who was traveling south from Luoyang, looked ahead. A few meters ahead was Jingzhou, which was the stage for frequent battles among the three families decades later.

Different from the nine counties of Jingzhou and Xiangyang in the book, since Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou had only seven counties for most of the time.

Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, major changes have taken place in Jingzhou.

It increased from seven counties to eight counties, namely Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Nanyang, Jiangxia, Wuling, Nanjun and Zhangling.

The area ahead is Nanyang County.

The seat of Nanyang County was Wancheng, which was also the place where Cao Mengde killed the three sages with one shot.

Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth slightly raised. The accompanying Wang Yue's attention stayed on Liu Bei all the time. Seeing Liu Bei laugh, his mind instantly became active, and he secretly speculated in his heart, what does Xixiang Hou mean by this, could it be that he saw some clues?
The surroundings were quiet. Apart from them, there seemed to be no other living people. The gurgling water on the river bank disappeared, and the dense forest covered with green leaves was left with only bare branches, which twitched wildly in the cold wind like evil spirits.

"pat"

The sound of footsteps breaking dead wood was heard.

It started with one sound, followed by two, three, and then countless sounds.

As early as when the woods twitched, Liu Bei raised his arm and issued a warning order. Although the soldiers following him were reserve Bai Li soldiers, they were also veterans who had experienced more than one battle. They were familiar with the military's rules and the cooperation between their comrades was even more complementary. Within a few breaths, the shield soldiers raised their shields, the archers put arrows on the strings, the cavalrymen grasped their lances tightly, and the messengers focused their eyes on Liu Bei.

Even Wang Yue was infected. He felt like his chest was burning. Hahahaha, is my first battle about to begin? !

But the next moment, Wang Yue's pupils shrank into pinholes, and something he never expected happened.

Figures rushed out of the woods ahead one after another. Their clothes were not like those of Han people. Their hair was tied on the left side and their faces were terrified, like frightened wild animals.

When they saw Liu Bei's flag and saw Liu Bei's face clearly, they did not turn around and run away. Instead, they fell to their knees with a "pop".

Many people were even kissing the cold ground, and some were even crying bitterly for surviving the disaster.

"Huh?" Wang Yue scratched his head, confused. "What happened?"

at the same time.

Pei State, Qiao County.

When Shi A walked into the county town, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He had searched the area around Qiao County thoroughly these days, asking almost every household, but he could not find any trace of Cao Pi at all.

"Damn it, how am I going to explain to Master that I didn't accept Cao Pi as my disciple?"

Shi A's brows frowned even deeper. He originally wanted to find a restaurant and buy a bowl of tea.

However, the bustling crowd ahead blocked his way, and he felt unlucky.

"Good man, be careful!"

A scream came into my ears.

What followed was a sharp sound of breaking wind.

As soon as Shi A raised his eyes, a white light like a sharp blade was about to fall into his eyes. Almost instinctively, he grabbed the sword at his waist with his backhand, exerted force, and the sword came out like a dragon, knocking away the white light that came from nowhere.

"Zheng"

The white light fell on the ground, making a clanging sound like iron.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sword.

"Boring" Shi A curled his lips.

However, this scene fell into a pair of small eyes.

"Wow, you're so awesome, can you teach me?"

Hearing that it was the little ghost's voice, Shi A felt upset. He was so thirsty now.

"do not bother me"

The boy came running over, he shouted

"Sir, wait for me!"

"Are you looking for someone? I just saw you asking something at the city gate. I can help you!"

Hearing the voice, Shi A stopped and turned to look at the boy who was chasing him and asked, "What's your name?"
