"Liu Jiyu is so despicable!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, but his character was extremely deep, so he quickly suppressed his anger and saluted Fa Zheng: "Thank you sir for telling me, I'm very grateful!"
"Second brother, let's leave quickly!"
Guan Yu said anxiously, "Brother, this person is an official under Liu Zhang. Who knew he wasn't colluding with Liu Zhang to deceive us?"
"It's better for me to capture Liu Zhang. It would be more appropriate to take him out of the city!"
He didn't believe this guy who appeared out of nowhere.
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Bei scolded, "Sir, after Famous Scholars, he took the risk to come and expose Liu Jiyu's plan. How can I doubt him?"
After hearing this, Fa Zheng's eyes changed.
He took a deep look at Liu Bei and said with admiration, "Everyone says that Mr. Xuande is a benevolent and righteous gentleman. When we saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
"It's not that I don't believe in General Guan's strength, but Governor of Yi Province was just frightened by General Guan on Banquet. Now that he has left Banquet, there is no chance to capture him."
"So the best choice is to escape now."
Liu Bei was deeply moved, but couldn't help but worry. "But if we leave like this, what will you do, sir?"
"If Liu Jiyu learns that it was your husband who made the whistleblower, he will definitely not be lenient, and your life will be in danger!"
"Sir, why don't you leave with us?"
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Xuande Don't worry, I have prepared a retreat. Liu Jiyu is a mediocre master. I have long planned to find another place."
"Son of Heaven is a wise man today. I am going to resign tomorrow and leave Chengdu to go to Ye City to work for Son of Heaven."
"I just know that Mr. Xuande is also loyal to Son of Heaven, so I took such a risk to come and tell him."
After hearing that Fa Zheng had a way out, Liu Bei felt relieved and said seriously, "Sir, I will definitely remember your life-saving grace today!"
"When you are out of danger, be prepared to write a letter to recommend Mr. Your Majesty."
Fa Zheng saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xuande."
Since Liu Bei, a member of the royal family, has written a letter of recommendation for him, he will definitely be able to save a lot of time and effort after joining Son of Heaven.
"Farewell!"
Liu Bei returned the gift and left in a hurry with Guan Yu.
Chapter 346 Choosing a concubine to enter the palace
Provincial Governor's Residence, Study.
In order to avoid a fight between the two parties later, Liu Zhang would threaten his own safety, so he left Banquet first and returned to Study to wait.
He waited inside Study for a long time, but for a long time he didn't hear the shouting of killing outside, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
"Why haven't you started taking action yet?"
"Could it be that Gongheng and the others are also afraid?"
Liu Zhang thought in his mind, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to send someone over to check the situation, but at this time he heard a burst of footsteps outside Study.
Huang Quan and others walked into Study.
Seeing them, Liu Zhang couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Did you kill Guan Yu and Liu Bei?"
"Lord, something bad is going to happen!"
Huang Quan looked anxious and said in an urgent tone, "We waited at the banquet for a long time, but we didn't see Guan Yu and Liu Bei come back, so we sent people to look for them."
"Then I received a report from the people in the house, saying that Liu Bei and Guan Yu had left Residence and headed out of the city in the direction of West Gate!"
"I'm afraid they already know our plan!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhang was shocked and said quickly, "Run away? Quick! Send Zhang Ren and Wu Lan to chase him!"
"Liu Bei must not be allowed to escape!"
This time he pretended to sue for peace, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill someone. Liu Bei will definitely gather troops to retaliate against him after learning about this and going back!
So he must not let Liu Bei go back alive!
Huang Quan The three of them hurriedly took orders and left.
The other side.
After Liu Bei and Guan Yu followed Fa Zheng's advice, they successfully left the city from West Gate and joined the five hundred Soldiers stationed by Outside the City.
They did not choose to leave by water.
Because once intercepted on the water, there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. On the contrary, it is safer to escape by land.
However, not long after they evacuated from Chengdu City, they saw a large number of soldiers chasing them, at least thousands of them.
"Liu Zhang is indeed cheating!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei no longer had any doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but feel shocked and angry. If Fa Zheng hadn't informed him, he would have been trapped in the city to death today!
Guan Yu was calm and said to Liu Bei, "Brother, you retreat first, I will intercept Pursuing Troops!"
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "We Peach Garden Oath have sworn to live and die together. How could I abandon you and run away in such a crisis?"
"If you want to leave, let's go together. If you want to stay, let's stay together. Brother, I will never live!"
They only brought a mere five hundred people, but there were at least two thousand Enemy Army chasing them. If Guan Yu stayed alone to intercept Pursuing Troops, it would be tantamount to putting himself in danger.
"Brother, don't worry. I don't take this Enemy Army seriously; but if eldest brother stays, it will make me worry about the future and make it difficult for me to let go of my hands and feet to fight the enemy. Then we will all die in the chaos."
"So eldest brother might as well go ahead and join him after I defeat Enemy Army. Don't eldest brothers still trust my martial arts?"
Guan Yu still insists on letting Liu Bei go first.
He does not take these two thousand Pursuing Troops seriously, but after all, we are outnumbered and outnumbered. If Liu Bei stays, he needs to be distracted.
Although Liu Bei's swordsmanship is good, it is not suitable for this kind of large-scale chaos, and it is easy to get trapped in a tight siege and unable to escape.
Liu Bei couldn't help showing hesitation when he heard this, but in the end he nodded and agreed under Guan Yu's repeated urging.
"Second brother, you must be careful!"
After giving Guan Yu some instructions, Liu Bei rode away.
Guan Yu led the five hundred soldiers and horses to stop retreating, turned their horses' heads to look at Pursuing Troops who was getting closer and closer behind him, closed his eyes, and pointed the cold saw diagonally at the ground in his hand, with a cold light flashing.
The next moment, he opened his eyes angrily and shouted:
"Kill!"
After Liu Bei and Guan Yu separated, they fled southward non-stop - now he could only truly be safe if he escaped from Shu Commandery.
But before he could run far, he discovered that there was another group of troops behind him. Although the number was only a few hundred, they were all Cavalry.
"There are actually two routes Pursuing Troops?!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. Now he was alone without any guards. If he was caught up, he would definitely die!
And if he is caught and the other party takes him as a hostage, then Guan Yu will also be in danger!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei accelerated his riding speed.
No matter what, you can't be caught by the Enemy Army!
At this time, the person leading the pursuit in the rear was none other than Great General under Liu Zhang. Wu Lan, when he saw Liu Bei showing signs of escaping, he shouted, "Lord is destined! Whoever kills Liu Bei will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins; whoever captures Liu Bei alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be promoted to the third level!"
"Chase me!"
There must be a brave man under a big reward. After Wu Lan said the reward, all the Soldierss were like chicken blood, chasing after Liu Bei, trying to compete for this great achievement.
The two sides are chasing each other, and the distance is slowly getting closer.
At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly saw a stream blocking the road ahead, and his expression suddenly changed. He was about to rein in his horse and stop, running away in another direction.
However, the horse beneath him refused to obey and carried him straight towards the stream and into the water.
Although this stream is not very deep, the water level is not even higher than the chest, making it difficult for horses to move forward after entering the water.
During this gap, Pursuing Troops arrived from behind.
Wu Lan couldn't help laughing when he saw this and said, "Liu Bei, you have no way to escape. It seems that God is going to kill you!"
"Quickly go ashore and surrender, and spare your life for the time being!"
Now Liu Bei is unable to escape in the water. They don't need to send people into the water. They only need to shoot arrows from the shore to kill him in the water.
Hearing the laughter from the shore, Liu Bei felt extremely desperate. He cried to White Horse who was sitting next to him, "Dilu, Dilu! You really are a nuisance to the Lord!"
The name of this horse White Horse was Dilu, which he got by chance. Xu Shu told him before that this horse was a hindrance to his owner, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy!
However, just as Liu Bei said these words, he felt a light weight on his body, and Dilu jumped out of the water and jumped directly to the other side of the stream!
"What?!"
Wu Lan was shocked, and many Soldiers around him were also dumbfounded. Everyone stared blankly at Liu Bei who had reached the other side of the river, and for a moment they couldn't believe their eyes.
They didn't even see what just happened!
Why did Liu Bei suddenly come ashore?!
At this moment, Liu Bei was also very surprised. He glanced at Dilu sitting down, and then at Pursuing Troops on the other side of the river, and then he realized that he was out of trouble.
And the one who saved him was Dilu!
Liu Bei's heart was surging, and he gently touched the Dilu horse's mane, and then said coldly to Wu Lan and others on the other side of the river, "It seems that my life should not be cut off today!"
"Go back and tell Liu Zhang that he used such despicable means as Feigning Surrender to deceive me. I will definitely report this matter to Son of Heaven, and there will be a generous reward in the future!"
"Drive!"
After Liu Bei said that, he rode away under the helpless gazes of all the Pursuing Troopss, and his figure gradually disappeared on the road.
