Jianming Chaos

Sun Quan ordered someone to bring a sword and asked, "Uncle Huang, how sharp is this sword in your opinion?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, thinking that the other party was going to "rectify the law on the spot".

Sun Quan said through his drunkenness: "Don't be afraid, uncle. This sword is called 'White Rainbow Sword', and it emits seven-colored rainbow lights at night. It is a veritable sword. It's a pity that I can't use it to kill the enemy on the battlefield..."

Looking at the opponent's trembling body, Liu Bei didn't dare to provoke him with words, so he could only say along the way: "Duke Ming drank too much, please go back to the temple to rest. What a good sword, what a good sword!"

"So cheap?" A double image appeared in front of Sun Quan's eyes, and he waved the sword in front of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "You actually said Gu... so cheap?"

Liu Bei didn't react, and looked at him suspiciously, feeling uneasy.

Seeing that the other party was frightened, Sun Quan laughed loudly: "Haha, Uncle Huang, don't worry, Gu will not kill his own people. Gu emphasizes again, it is his own people!"

Liu Bei understood what he meant, and said, "Don't worry, Duke Ming. As a trustworthy person, Bei will definitely treat Princess Sun well, and will never disappoint the trust and expectations of Guotai and Duke Ming!"

"Uncle Huang is quite good at avoiding the important and taking the light of the day. Are you really...planning not to return Jingzhou?" Sun Quan asked straight away, not knowing whether he was really drunk or fake.

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.He wasn't sure if the sword would fall on him if he answered wrongly.

At this time, Zhiming appeared again just right, and said, "Both adults are here! Why, you want to learn martial arts but don't call me?"

Sun Quanxing was intoxicated, and happened to see a big rock nearby, and said: "General Lei is here just in time, Guzheng wants to show the power of the Baihong Sword to you two!"

He walked to the side of the stone and split it with the power of wine. In the blink of an eye, the stone was split in half.

"Did you see it? This is the power of Gu Zhi's sword!" Sun Quan said triumphantly, and the "sword" in his mouth alluded to the military strength of Soochow.

"General Sun is really powerful! I would like to add to the fun!" Zhiming drew out the divine sword without saying a word, and slashed at the stone.

A flash of light passed by, and the stone was divided into four, turning into a cross-shaped stone.

Sun Quan was so surprised that he remained silent for a long time. This move was undoubtedly a demonstration to Soochow: If you want to fight, come, whoever is afraid of whom!

Afraid of affecting the relationship between the two parties, Zhiming hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "General Sun is laughing at me. My sword is still slightly inferior to the general's Baihong Sword."

Liu Bei also flattered: "The Baihong sword is unparalleled in the world, which is an eye-opener for Bei!"

"General Lei is indeed very powerful. Gu has seen it again! Uncle Huang, with the help of such generals, why worry about failure!" Seeing that the other party had stepped down the steps, Sun Quan had no choice but to say wittily.

After lunch, Wu Guotai ordered Lu Fan to escort Liu Bei and his party back to the post house to rest, and asked Sun Quan to find a matchmaker to choose an auspicious day for the wedding ceremony.She suggested that Liu Bei stay in Nanxu for a few more days, and Liu Bei agreed.

In the post house, Zhiming bid farewell to Liu Bei again.Liu Bei didn't even ask him where he came from, it seems that there is no need to say more.

Zhiming said: "My lord, after splitting the stone, I believe that Sun Quan will not dare to harm you again in the short term, but there is no guarantee that other people will be against you, such as Zhou Yu. My next suggestion is that you hurry to see Princess Sun and let her protect you. She I have several maidservants with swords under my command, who can keep the Lord fair and safe."

"However, I have never met the princess, and everything is up to the princess, how can we meet?" Liu Bei was worried.

"Don't worry, I'll let her come and find you." Zhiming had already made up his plan.

"Can you let her come to me?" Liu Bei was amazed at his ability to handle affairs.

"Okay, I'm half of her martial arts teacher now." Zhiming was confident.

"Zhiming, you have been in the army for so long and have made great contributions. It is time for you to be promoted. Unfortunately, the current situation is not stable. I have to solve the Jingzhou problem first." Liu Bei can't bury talents.

"My lord, I am serious. I am the next martial artist, and I am not greedy for honor. To be able to fight side by side with the emperor so far is enough!" Zhiming couldn't help himself for a while, and expressed his inner voice.

Liu Bei didn't say a word, just pressed the opponent's shoulder tightly.The two had a tacit understanding, so they stopped talking.

Later, Zhiming went to Sun Shangxiang and asked her to come forward to protect Liu Bei's safety.For Zhiming's sake, of course Sun Shangxiang has no objection. Anyway, Liu Bei will also marry her. Regardless of whether there will be any changes in the future, at least her safety should be protected for now.

Therefore, she suggested to her mother that Liu Bei be admitted to the palace to live temporarily, and take the opportunity to cultivate feelings.Wu Guotai couldn't ask for it, and immediately ordered Lu Fan to bring Liu Bei and his party into the palace; Liu Bei had to stay temporarily.

…………

Sun Quan went to Zhou Yu and questioned him about the killer.Zhou Yu excused that there was a mistake in the communication process, which led to the wrong transmission of information, so I guarantee that it will not be an example.

Sun Quan had no doubts and asked him for advice on the next step.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and said: "The matter has come to this point, so we can only make plans. After we get married, Liu Bei will definitely make a request to take the princess back to Nanjun to meet his wife, and help the princess to become regular by the way."

"In this case, isn't Shang Xiang in danger?" Sun Quan worried about his sister's safety.

"It's not that dangerous; but at least it's even more difficult for Soochow to get Jingzhou back."

"How do you say? Isn't it already married?"

"Although the marriage has become a fact, Kong Ming is full of tricks, and there is no guarantee that he will not come up with one or two tricks. For example, he will encourage Liu Bei to go westward to Shuchuan and Hanzhong as soon as possible; in this way, the army must have a place to live, and Jingzhou is just right It becomes Liu Bei’s garrison, even if it belongs to Soochow in name, it is meaningless. If the princess settles there, will the lord dare to send troops easily? As soon as he sends troops, Liu Bei will ask the princess to intercede with Guo Tai, let us Withdraw." Zhou Yu expressed his worry.

"Then what should I do? Can Shangxiang help to get Jingzhou back?" Sun Quan still pinned his hopes on the marriage.

"No. To recover Jingzhou, you must have a bargaining chip in your hand, a bargaining chip that Liu Bei has to care about." Zhou Yu has already thought of a countermeasure.

"Wang Gongjin teach me!" Sun Quan asked for advice as a student.

"Liu Bei's only son, Liu Chan, as long as the princess finds an opportunity to bring him back to Nanxu, it will be tantamount to capturing Liu Bei's lifeline. At that time, not to mention getting Jingzhou back, even if he is asked to attack Cao Cao, he will not be able to refuse!" Zhou Yu He is worthy of being a wily and wise general who is good at grasping key points.

"How will Mrs. Gan pass the test?" Sun Quan knew that Mrs. Gan was Adou's biological mother.

"That's all it takes..." Zhou Yu made a beheading motion.

Sun Quan understood in seconds, and said, "So that's the case! But... is there a way?"

"It seems that we still have to ask old friends for help." Zhou Yu sent shadow assassins to Jiangxia before, one of the purposes was to kidnap Mrs. Gan and Adou, but unfortunately the plan failed.After that, he asked Shanyue for help.

"This 'old friend' of Gongjin seems to be quite powerful!" Sun Quan raised his thumb.

"My lord, thank you. If there is nothing else, Yu wants to rest. Cough...cough..." Zhou Yu's body is getting worse day by day.

Sun Quan walked out of the Zhou mansion with a lot of worries.For the first time, he realized his incompetence. He could neither find a doctor for his love, nor find the missing Xiao Qiao. He even wanted to regain Jingzhou by sacrificing his sister's lifelong happiness.He felt extremely lonely and desolate in his heart. This sense of gap compared with the achievements of his father and brother invaded the depths of his heart all the time.

…………

Zhiming teleported to Shaxian, the county seat of Jiangxia by night, and found that the city had fallen and the people had already fled.The county mansion has been captured. Judging from the scene, the entire attack process was not too strenuous.

"Spot the intruder!" one shouted.

Zhiming suddenly fell into a tight siege.He found that the clothes of these people were not like the army, but like a group of well-organized green forest robbers.

"Who are you? How dare you break into Jiangxia's important place and disregard the court's laws?" Zhiming scolded angrily.

"Come on, take him down!" One person ordered, and everyone went up.

Zhiming angrily pulled out the Excalibur, and killed several people with one blow, several people fell to the ground.

Although the martial arts of these intruders were a bit higher than that of ordinary soldiers, logically speaking, without the right time and place, they would not be able to easily capture Jiangxia's core city. After all, Liu Qi stood firm here and had sufficient troops, unless something unexpected happened.

Zhiming planned to "capture the thief first and capture the king", so he used his sword dance to blaze a trail of blood.

The enemy began to set up formations, using the cover of night to use blindfolds and joint formations to trap Zhiming.

Zhiming only felt a tinnitus, and realized that the enemy was using the echoes caused by the weapon array to confuse his auditory nerves, so he quickly used the protective cover to block the noise.

Countless flying arrows struck from all directions.Zhiming knew that the protective shield could not last long, so he used its protective function to chop the ground with his sword.

The world shook, and a destructive sword energy burst out, shattering the sharp arrows in the air.

"Get out of the way, I'll meet him!" A mysterious figure descended from the sky, holding a short-handled mace, looking menacing.

Zhiming rolled and dodged the attack one by one, and then sliced ​​away with the Windward Sword.The mysterious man dissipated like a cloud of black mist without any damage.

"What a handsome skill, dare to ask your honor and name?" Zhiming asked in admiration.

"Who are you, how dare you trespass on this place? Don't you know that this city is under the control of the Yue people?" The mysterious man asked instead without answering.

"They really are Yue people." Zhiming thought to himself, and said, "I am Lord Liu Bei's soldiers. Since they are Yue people, why don't they go back to the mountains and live by themselves, but come to seize the territory of the Han?"

"Yue people are also a part of the Han people, don't you know?" The mysterious man sneered, "Zong Shuai has long wanted to capture Jiang Xia, but he regretted that the time was not ripe. Seizing Sha Xian is only the first step."

"You Zong Shuai is my friend. As far as I know, he has no intention of taking Jiang Xia at all." Zhiming knew that the other party was lying.

"You know our Zong Shuai?" The mysterious man couldn't help taking a step back and asked.

"Brother, please listen to me. At present, Master Liu Bei has become brother-in-law with Master Sun Quan, and is planning to marry his sister Sun Shangxiang. Therefore, the Eastern Wu, the Yue people and my master are actually fellow travelers. Why bother to talk to each other Massacre?" Zhiming didn't want to engage in unnecessary disputes.

The mysterious man was taken aback, and said, "Is this true? Then why did he let us attack Sha Xian?"

"Who is he referring to?" Zhiming wanted to know who was behind the scenes.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The mysterious man would not be easily fooled, and said, "Who are you? With this kind of skill, you are definitely not an ordinary soldier!"

"I'm Lei Zhiming, who belongs to Liu Bei's army, and I'm here to see Liu Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia." Zhiming reported his family name.

"Lei Zhiming? This name sounds familiar..." The mysterious man suddenly flashed his eyes and said, "Could it be...you are the one who went to Langgu Mountain to meet our Zongshuai and made an exception to join the clan meeting?"

"As I said just now, you, Zong Shuai, are my friends. Zong Shuai probably doesn't know about your surprise attack on Jiang Xia, right?" Zhiming finally caught the opponent's sore foot.

The mysterious man thought: "Too bad, maybe he will tell Zong Shuai about this. The point is, why did he come here? Did Zhou Yu make a mistake in his strategy?"

Thinking of this, he said somewhat unnaturally: "Liu Qi... is not in... the county mansion right now."

"The answer is not what you asked." Zhiming shook his head and said, "You don't think Zong Shuai will never know about this, do you?"

"No, he will definitely tell Zong Shuai!" The mysterious man became more and more worried, and said, "General Lei, you shouldn't have appeared here; since you have appeared, I can't let you go!"

"How are you going to stop me?" Zhiming said, not worried about being unable to leave, "Besides, if you want to fight, you must first know who your opponent is. Don't you have an official title?"

The mysterious man thought for a while and said, "I'm from the Yue branch of Dabie Mountain in Lujiang County, and my name is Yan Sheng."

"If I'm not wrong, you weren't a Yueren, were you?" Zhiming said casually.

"...How did you know?" Yan Sheng thought that the military situation had been leaked.

"There shouldn't be many people with the surname Yan among the Yue people, right? Your name is clearly a Han name!" Zhiming didn't really know, he just guessed.

Yan Sheng was afraid that the soldiers would mistake him for a spy of Soochow, so he said: "Nonsense! My ancestors are Yue people!"

"In that case, tell me, who is your ancestor?" Zhiming deliberately teased him.

"What right do you have to ask questions here? This city has fallen into the hands of the Yue people, and I am the city owner!" Yan Sheng didn't want to be led by the nose.
