Fan County, at three o'clock, it is the darkest time of night. Inside and outside the camp, it was pitch black, with only a few sporadic torches, representing the soldiers who kept the night vigil. The wilderness was terribly quiet, except for the sound of the brook running next to the station, and the cries of jackdaws coming from nowhere.

    Zhang Fei was pushed awake when he was the most drowsy. He was about to scream when someone covered his mouth and nose. When he looked again, the two in front of him were not Liu Bei and Liu Bei. Guan Yu, who else is there?

    "Big brother? Second brother?" Zhang Fei rubbed his eyes angrily and yawned, "It's so late..."

    "Yide, get up and get dressed, we'll go now." Liu Bei said.

    "Leave now? It's not too late to leave the troops behind when you reach the border."

    "Since we are ready to defect, these soldiers will become our enemies. If they see the clue, let alone flee to Xuzhou, I am afraid that our lives will be lost, and our heads will have to be returned. The city." Liu Bei said decisively, "There are many dreams at night, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. I have gathered 12 people from the old confidant, prepared 30 good horses, and left immediately."

    Seeing that Liu Bei was so serious, Zhang Fei could not delay any longer. He hurriedly put on his clothes and followed him out of the tent. They carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and sneaked out of the camp. Sure enough, after walking less than fifty steps, I saw twelve familiar faces with horses waiting at the crossing of the path.

     

    Guo Jia came very quickly, the Yin time has come, and the autumn morning has not yet risen. Although he is thin, he is surprisingly good at horseback riding, and he is unequivocal in his journey through the night. If Chen Gong and others saw this scene, their eyes would fall out. People can't be seen, this advisor is also a Qin Han scholar who can use a knife, not a weak rookie.

      Liu Bei is gone.

    Guo Jia touched the quilt, secretly thinking that it was not good. The bedding was cold, and the person had been gone for at least an hour.

    "Liu Xuande, who is so lively and alert, I still underestimate him." Guo Jia's eyes brightened, and he showed an inexplicable smile, "Chase. There are post stations along the new road, and he must not dare to follow it. Go to the new road and check whether there are any signs of broken trees and fallen trees on both sides of the road."

    With Guo Jia's clear direction, in less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers found the place where Liu Bei and others left the road. Without saying a word, Guo Jia rode his Maxima and chased after him. Most of these sergeants are also spies, and their autonomy does not need to be taught. Immediately, there were people who were good at riding, shooting, and tracking, and they automatically formed a team to follow. The rest of the people elected temporary generals and continued to advance in the direction of Taishan County.

    A thrilling pursuit battle started on the south bank of the Yellow River.

    Not to mention the horror of Liu Bei seeing the wanted notice before he entered the city, nor the embarrassment of Zhang Fei bumping into the pursuers when he was releasing his hand in the woods, both sides made fake footprints and identified fake footprints The battle of wits and bravery that was carried out can be written into a wonderful novel.

    Liu Bei squeezed almost all his brain cells before entering the range of Mount Tai, relying on his familiarity with the terrain to throw off the pursuers. It was another dark night, and the first quarter moon was slowly falling behind the trees to the west.

    "Finally, I can take a breath." Running and pretending day and night, even people and horses are exhausted, but at this time, I can't sleep. "Let's go after a short rest." Liu Bei said, "We have already entered Liangfu Mountain. There is an ancient road three miles ahead. We have to pass through an underground cave. This is the only secret passage that can bypass Cao's defense line and enter Xuzhou. The army cannot pass. , but it is just right for us.”

    The twelve people except Liu, Guan, and Zhang have followed Liu Bei since Youzhou. veteran. But so what? Liu Bei didn't think there were too many people, they were the most reliable subordinates and the closest brothers.

    There are too few things to rely on in this troubled world, only the hopeful smiles on the faces of the brothers can make him feel a little comfort.

    The accident happened suddenly.

    A veteran who was feeding his horse suddenly fell silently.

     

    At this time, everyone jumped up in shock, led the horses and turned over.

    "Pfft." Another soldier fell beside his horse.

    "Pfft." Another one, this time falling off a horse.

    The smell of blood filled the air, indicating that these people had suffered a strange assassination.

    "Is it an arrow?" Liu Bei shouted as he galloped on horseback.

    "No..." The soldier's terrified voice came from behind, "There is no arrow, and suddenly there is a small hole between the eyebrows."

    "Old Hu is a hole in the chest, just on the heart armor... I can see it clearly, there is no arrow, it just appeared..." The soldier's voice suddenly disappeared, and then came the The sound of a human body falling from a horse to the ground.

    "Ghost! It's a ghost!" Finally someone could not bear it anymore, and screamed frantically, and then the shouting stopped abruptly.

    The hoof stopped. The surroundings were terribly silent, and no one dared to speak again, for fear of attracting ghosts in the mountains and forests. "Plop, plop." The beating of the heart is very clear, nine hearts.

    Nine hearts, nine heads. One of them seemed timid, and stepped back a little, showing a posture of retreating westward.

    "Pop."

    Nine minus one is eight.

    The seventh dead person seemed to detonate a signal, and the remaining eight people rode their horses and ran wild again. "Go to the underground ancient road." Liu Bei shouted exhaustively, "Entering is also death, retreating is also death. Entering Xuzhou, there is still a chance of life."

    They galloped in the woods, the branches of different thicknesses slapped their faces frantically, but no one cared about them, just ran wild. Because as long as you look back, you can see that the number of people behind you is decreasing.

    Finally, Liu Bei saw the cliff. The familiar exposed rocks indicate that the entrance to the underground cave is behind it. A quarter of an hour ago, he thought he would be full of joy when he saw this rock, but at this time, there was only despair in his heart.

    The road behind him was covered with blood, and a total of twelve corpses fell there in a strange posture. The moonlight grew dim, and the crow began to "quack" and flap its wings.

    Can't run away.

    "Pop." There was a crisp vibration, this time they heard the sound of a weapon that can kill people thousands of meters away.

    Guan Yu covered his chest and planted his horse. He was shot in the chest, but he still refused to breathe, his eyes widened, staring at the rock in front of him, where the voice of death came from.

    Who?

    Who is it?

    "Alas." A woman sighed. With the last ray of moonlight, they could see the familiar and unfamiliar slender figure. She was wearing a quirky armor that outlined her slender legs. There was a huge instrument in front of her eyes, covering half of her face. And holding an equally weird weapon in both hands, it seems to be a long metal round stick, with protrusions in the front, hand rests, shoulder straps in the back, and a tripod at the bottom. The beauty of the complex structure is indescribable. , just a glance can make the master of the Mo family ashamed.

    Liu Bei's whole body trembled: "It really is you."

    "It turns out that Duke Xuande guessed it." The woman's gentle voice still had the power of a god, but it was stained with murderous aura that could not be ignored, "It seems that I didn't cover it up well enough, let you It was my fault that I had bad memories in the past."

    "Why?!" Guan Yu roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His whole body seemed to dissipate with the blood, and the hand supporting his body bent a little bit, and finally fell into the soil, with less air in and more out.

    Zhang Fei was awakened by Guan Yu's loud roar, and he managed to splicing the truth into a logical string, his eyes were splitting. "Zhonghua, are you doing assassination?!"

    "I will kill the rebels." The woman was unmoved, "Be patient with the killing intent, I have been waiting for a long time."

    "You should be recuperating in Pingyuan City at this time." Liu Bei said suddenly.

    "I heard that Xuande had defected, so I came to chase." There was a smile in her voice, which was especially cool, better than the autumn wind.

    "Impossible! The plains are more than a hundred miles away. Could it be that Zhonghua can't predict the prophet?"

    The woman raised the machine in her hand and pointed the round stick at Liu Bei: "Is it hard to guess? I showed you the map of Yanzhou, you should be able to know that the ancient road here is to bypass Taishan County. The only way to fortify."

    Liu Bei suddenly burst into laughter, until tears came out. "Be prepared for what virtue and ability, let Duke Zhonghua calculate this, and go to danger alone. I lived to the age of 30, but nothing was accomplished."

    "...Liu Bei, very similar to Gaozu, but also like Guangwu, a hero. I show my true face and allow you to fight me."

    Liu Bei drew his sword and Zhang Fei raised his axe. The two burst out with all their strength and rushed forward.

    The moon fell completely, and two gunshots exploded in the forest, startling several crows. Outside the woods, Guo Jia, who was separated from others because he was walking around the terrain with Liu Bei, raised his head. He seemed to hear a strange noise in that direction.

    To go or not to go?

    Guo Jia hesitated, he is a man who cherishes his life, he should not deliver food alone. But here is the border between Xu and Yan. If Liu Bei was lost, it would be too late to regret.
