Jianming Chaos

Zhiming quickly found Liu Bei.Sure enough, Liu Bei was studying the map alone in his tent before going to bed.

"My lord, please forgive me. During this period of time, there are some urgent matters to be dealt with, and I cannot fight side by side with the army. But please believe me, my lord, everything I do is beneficial to our army." Zhiming didn't agree. Add some pleasantries, and cut straight to the point.

Liu Bei was taken aback by the opponent's sudden appearance.After a long time, he said: "Zhiming, where are you from? Ever since you joined the army, I thought you were a bit different; now it confirms my thinking. You don't need to report to me when you go to carry out the mission. , you don’t even need to report to me afterwards; but please remember one thing, as long as you have not left the army, you are my Liu Bei’s people, please protect yourself and your family. When encountering difficulties that cannot be resolved, remember Seek help from the organization in time. Although I, Liu, is single and weak, morally speaking, I will never give up any of my subordinates."

Zhiming was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your great kindness! I just went to see Military Advisor Kong Ming and learned that my family has been escorted back to Helong Mountain. I am so grateful! The military advisor has told me the next step for the army. plan, I will definitely finish the task at hand as soon as possible, and come back to join the army!"

Liu Bei helped him up and said, "There's no need to be too polite. You're fine. I've seen the military adviser before seeing the lord. Actually, I've felt before that your status is unusual, but I can't tell you what it feels like. I guess you won't reveal it for the time being." Right? It’s okay, let’s talk when you think the time is right. Please remember, our army needs you, and I need you too.”

Zhiming nodded and said, "Thank you, Master, for understanding. I will find a suitable opportunity to tell you about my life experience. Let me take my leave first. I have to save a very important person."

Liu Bei didn't ask much, just waved his hand lightly.Zhiming thanked him with his hands clasped, and withdrew.

Zhiming decided to go straight to the Wu army camp to take away "Cai Yan" and get rid of Zhou Yu, so that he could not be allowed to threaten the survival of Liu Beijun.He had already found out where Zhou Yu was currently stationed, and used magic to quietly arrive at the southern camp that Wu Jun had set up along the Han River.

In the dead of night, the camp was full of snoring.There are not many patrols around, it seems that Wu Jun's post-war defense has been lax.

Knowing that Wu Jun also wanted to take Nanjun, Zhiming thought that Zhou Yu must have been awake, so he decided to deal with him first, and then go to "Cai Yan", although he was not sure if she was here.

Zhiming used shadow-like skills to avoid the sight of the patrolmen and ran towards the main tent.The Devil Slaying Sword resonated with the soul of its owner, as if it wanted to release the long-suppressed sword energy overnight.

Suddenly, Zhiming heard a cough coming from nearby, and stopped.He recognized Zhou Yu's voice.

"Could it be that he has a cold?" Zhiming tiptoed outside the main tent, thinking.

A few people who looked like village doctors were standing not far outside the tent, discussing something.Through the gap in the curtain, Zhiming caught a glimpse of two people inside, one of them was sitting on the bed, with a white scarf tied on his head, and sickness was clearly written on his face; a limp hand was holding a piece of blood stained red white handkerchief.The person standing next to him was Lu Su. Although he tried his best to conceal the expression on his face, he could still see a bit of anxiety and sadness.

There was a wooden basin on the ground, which seemed to be used for sick people to vomit.There were no attendants, it seemed that Zhou Yu had something to tell Lu Su alone.

"Zhou Lang, take a rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. You're going to rejuvenate soon, you have to take care of yourself!" Lu Su said to Zhou Yu who was on the sickbed.

"Cough...cough...I'm fine. Zijing, do you remember what I said just now?" Zhou Yu's face was pale and sweating profusely. It seemed that he was indeed seriously ill.

"Remember, I will arrange it. Don't worry. You can't fall down. Soochow is still counting on you to build a state!" Lu Su couldn't bear to look at his comrades so ill.

"I don't die so easily! Even if I die, I have to look at Kong Ming first...fail before I die...cough...cough..." Zhou Yu seemed to be hostile to Kongming.

Lu Su held the wooden basin in both hands and placed it on Zhou Yu's chest, for fear that he would suddenly vomit.

Zhou Yu gestured for him to put the basin down, and said, "Don't be like this, Zijing, you're like this... I feel that I'm really... dying soon. To be honest, I'm not reconciled... I'm not reconciled..."

As he was talking, Zhou Yu actually started to sob. Maybe it was because his ambition was unrewarded, maybe it was because he couldn’t let Xiao Qiao go, maybe it was because God only gave him such a short time, so that he didn’t have time to see the flags of the Wu flag everywhere. That day in Jiangnan.

Seeing this situation, Zhiming's heart suddenly softened. Even if Zhou Yu was standing in front of him now, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't kill a seriously ill person.He finally understood that what Zhou Yu was suffering from was not a cold, but a more serious disease, a disease that could slowly take away a person's will and vitality.He thought of Xuechan again, now she is suffering the same pain as Zhou Yu, maybe it hasn't reached such a serious level, but judging from the nature of the illness, it won't be long.

Looking at Zhou Yu who was getting thinner and thinner, Lu Su felt very uncomfortable. Zhou Yu's heroic appearance before the war was still vivid in his memory. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the serious illness had ruthlessly occupied every corner of his body.It's a pity that the village doctors are limited and unable to cure this disease; even if they go to other places to invite highly skilled doctors, they may not be able to cure it.

In fact, before the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu had already developed some bad symptoms. At that time, everyone thought it was just a common cold and didn't pay much attention to it.Unexpectedly, after the war, the disease that had been dormant for a long time suddenly broke out like a flood, catching everyone by surprise.Zhou Yu never expected that his body, like Chibi, had already become a battlefield.

Lu Su sat down slowly by the bed, supported Zhou Yu with one hand, picked up the medicine soup on the bedside with the other hand, and said while pouring the medicine, "Leave us to deal with the rest. Zhou Yu Lang, don't overwork yourself these few days, don't let everyone worry."

After Zhou Yu finished drinking the medicine, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that I'm worried... you, I'm just afraid... Kong Ming, a fox... has played tricks on you... I know his tricks... he just hopes for me... to return to the west soon..."

"Zhou Lang, you're thinking too much. Kong Ming is not that kind of person. I have worked with him before, so I probably know what he is like." Lu Su felt that Zhou Yu was a bit intolerant, but he couldn't point it out.

"Why...God...you want to treat me like this? I'm obviously full of blood...I haven't exhausted it yet, but...but I'm...powerless..." Zhou Yu shed unwilling tears.

"Zhou Lang, in this world, who can guarantee that he will live to old age without disease and disaster? Aren't the soldiers who died on the battlefield all full of enthusiasm and rioting in the palace of Hades in the middle of the night?" Sometimes, the most important thing is to fully bloom the brilliance of life. As for which day the flowers will wither, let God decide.” After Lu Su and Zhou Yu got in close contact, he realized deeply that he was really in time. The day is running out.

"The future of Soochow...can't have no successors, I have to...go back to Chaisang...see the lord...talk to him..." Zhou Yu's tone became weaker and weaker.

"I've made arrangements. The carriage will take you back tomorrow morning." Lu Su knew in his heart that apart from state affairs, Zhou Yu actually wanted to go back to accompany Xiao Qiao.

"Zijing, you are my... best friend in my whole life. I am relieved to have you here, but... you must be careful about Kong Ming...cough...cough..." Zhou Yu was about to cough out his lungs.

"Come on, help me, the governor is going to rest!" Lu Su called out.

The village doctors waiting outside quickly arrived and worked hard.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhiming resolutely gave up the assassination.He quickly left the main tent and continued to search for people.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.Although it was night, the light of the torch made him see clearly that it was Gan Ning.

Zhiming hid subconsciously, thinking: "He won't find me, will he?"

Sure enough, Gan Ning couldn't sleep all night, went out to relax, and found that there was a murderous look here, so he came over.

Zhiming hid in the dark and observed, holding his breath, not wanting to reveal his whereabouts.

"Strange, why do you feel that there are enemies nearby?" Gan Ning looked around, because it was night, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't see the lurking enemies; but his intuition told him that there were foreign invaders nearby.

Zhiming hoped that he would leave as soon as possible, he really didn't want to have a third fight with Gan Ning.

Reluctantly, things backfired. Gan Ning's persistence made him stay where he was, searching for every movement in the darkness with his eyes. Even though the visibility was close to zero, he could immediately sense any movement.

Zhiming was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, and he held on to the hilt of his sword tightly.After returning to the master's hands, the Devil Slayer Sword has a tacit understanding with the master, and is always on high alert.

Gan Ning sensed the enemy's presence and quickened his pace.Zhiming felt a chill in his heart, ready to show up.

"General Gan!" At this moment, someone stopped Gan Ning.

Seeing that Lu Su had arrived, Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief.He saw the two talking about something, which seemed to be related to Zhou Yu's condition.

"I didn't expect that the high-spirited Governor Zhou would end up like this today!" Zhiming lamented the impermanence of the world, thinking, "Zhou Yu will return to Chaisang tomorrow morning, so it seems impossible to personally lead troops to take Nanjun. In this way, Wu Jun Who can lead the army to take Nanjun?"

After hearing Lu Su's words, Gan Ning was so disappointed that he smashed the wooden fence next to him with his fist.It seems that Lu Su has already told him the real situation of Zhou Yu.

"If Zhou Yu doesn't lead the army, the Wu army may not be able to attack Nanjun. Should I go back and tell the emperor immediately? If so, the search plan will have to be postponed." Zhiming thought to himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to return to his own military camp first.

Liu Bei was about to go to bed, when suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing by, the curtain opened, and it was Zhiming.

"My lord, I just learned that Zhou Yu plans to return to Chai Sang tomorrow morning due to physical discomfort, and will not personally lead troops to attack Nanjun." Zhiming went straight to the point.

"Zhiming, you just said that you have something urgent, so you went to the Wu army camp to find out the news? The key is...how can you be so fast?" Liu Bei was amazed at his speed.

"It is, it is not." Zhiming didn't know how to explain, "Anyway, the news I got is that Zhou Yu is no longer capable of leading troops to fight; Lord Lu arranged a carriage to take him back to Chaisang tomorrow morning."

"Have you seen Zhou Yu?" Liu Bei asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"...I saw it." Zhiming didn't know whether to say it or not.

"You have only left here not long ago, how did you get to Wu Jun's camp?" Liu Bei recalled the scene where Zhiming disappeared in Cao Ying, and knew that he had special skills.

"My lord, I said that one day I will tell you everything. The time has not yet come. Please believe me, my lord. Everything I said just now is true." Zhiming clasped his fists and said.

"Of course I believe in you, but I'm just curious." Liu Bei didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhiming, I know what you're doing, and you can go on with your business."

"Thank you, my lord, for understanding, I'm taking my leave." Zhiming was about to leave.

"...By the way, Zhiming, I don't know if you know something." Liu Bei suddenly remembered something and said, "I've heard people say more than once that I saw Xu Shu by Cao Cao's side. Could it be that he became Cao Cao's military advisor?"

Zhiming was speechless for a while, so he could only say: "This subordinate really doesn't know. Maybe he misunderstood it? Or maybe it was the fake one last time? Anyway, with Mr. Xu's character, he would never help Cao Cao." .”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Forget it, it's probably a fake. Why is there a fake Xu Shu in Cao's camp? Doesn't even Cao Cao know about it? Then where is the real Xu Shu?"

"My lord, I'll take my leave first." Zhi Ming felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Bei, and once again used magic to come to Wuying.

When he first landed, he felt a little top-heavy, which seemed to be a side effect of magic.

"Here, I found it!" With a shout, a group of soldiers holding torches rushed over.

"What's going on? How did they know I would show up?" Zhiming felt strange, no one had noticed his existence just now.

The soldiers surrounded Zhiming.Zhiming wanted to use magic to get away, but he saw Gan Ning squeezed through the crowd and walked in.

"Assassin, you are so brave, how dare..." Gan Ning was about to raise his knife, when he saw the face of the "Assassin", he couldn't help asking, "Why are you, General Lei? Why are you here?" ?”

"I..." Zhiming couldn't explain for a while, he did appear as an assassin.

"Are you here to assassinate Governor Zhou?" Gan Ning involuntarily clenched the hilt of the knife, with a murderous look on his brows, making people shiver in the cold night.

"No, General Gan, I'm here..." Zhiming was at a loss for words.

"There is a detailed work, over there!" Suddenly there was another shout, and everyone's eyes turned to the other side.

A masked man in black was sprinting in the distance, bypassing countless camps at an astounding speed.Gan Ning thought for a while, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers chased after him.

"Thank you for saving me." Zhiming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that all the soldiers "abandoned" him and left.
