Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

In Fanxian County, the night is at its darkest at three o'clock.It was pitch black inside and outside the camp, with only a few scattered torches, representing the soldiers on watch.The wilderness was eerily quiet, only the sound of the stream flowing beside the camp, and the crowing of jackdaws coming from nowhere.

Zhang Fei was woken up when he was most sleepy. He just wanted to yell when someone covered his mouth and nose. Looking again, the two people in front of him were not Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who else could it be?

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

"Yide, get up and get dressed, we're leaving now." Liu Bei said.

"Leave now? When we get to the border, it's not too late to leave the troops and escape."

"Since we are going to defect, these soldiers have become our enemies. If they see the clues, let alone go to Xuzhou, we are afraid that our lives will be gone, and our heads will have to go back to Juancheng." Liu Bei said decisively, "The night is long and the dream is full. It's better to leave as soon as possible. I have already summoned 12 people from the old department, my cronies, and prepared [-] good horses. I will leave immediately."

Seeing that Liu Bei was so serious, Zhang Fei didn't want to delay any longer. He hurriedly put on his clothes, and followed 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 waiting at the crossing of the path with their horses.

They rode their horses, left the well-built cement and gravel road, and disappeared into the grass, leaving only a fallen bush, silently signaling the footsteps of people leaving.

Guo Jia came very quickly, and Yinshi had arrived, and the autumn morning sun had not yet risen.Although he is thin, he is unexpectedly good at riding a horse, and he travels unambiguously at night.If Chen Gong and the others saw this scene, their eyeballs would probably fall out.You can't judge by appearance, this counselor is also a scholar-bureaucrat of the Qin and Han Dynasties who can handle a knife, not a weakling.

After receiving the soldier talisman and Cao Cao's personal letter requesting to kill Liu Bei, the camp immediately became chaotic.Liu Bei is gone.

As soon as Guo Jia touched the bed, he secretly thought something was wrong.The bedding is cold, and people have been gone for at least an hour.

"Liu Xuande is so vigilant, I still underestimated him." Guo Jia's eyes widened and he showed a smile with no meaning, "Chasing. There are post stations along the new road, so he must not dare to walk along the new road. There are no traces of broken vegetation on the side."

With Guo Jia's clear direction, within a quarter of an hour, the soldiers found the place where Liu Bei and others left the main road.Without saying a word, Guo Jia rode on his Maxima and gave chase.Most of these sergeants are also spies, and they don't need to be taught autonomy.Immediately there were people who were good at riding, archery and tracking, and they automatically formed a team to follow up. The rest of them nominated temporary generals and continued to advance towards Taishan County. Along the way, they issued a warrant for Liu Bei's defection.

A thrilling pursuit began on the land on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Not to mention the horror of Liu Bei seeing the arrest warrant before entering the city, nor the embarrassment of Zhang Fei running into the pursuers when he was relieved in the woods. A wonderful novel could be written.

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

"Finally I can take a breath." Running around day and night, pretending, even people and horses are exhausting, but at this time I can't sleep. "Let's take a short rest and start on the road." Liu Bei said, "We have entered Liangfu Mountain, and there is an ancient road three miles ahead, which has 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.”

Except for Liu, Guan, and Zhang, the 12 people have followed Liu Bei since Youzhou. After the war and devastation, there were only [-] veterans left in the personal guards of some scale.But so what?Liu Bei does not think there are too few people, they are the most reliable subordinates, the closest brothers.

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

The accident happened suddenly.

A veteran who was feeding a horse suddenly fell down without a sound.

"What's wrong? Could it be that your legs are weak from exhaustion?" A bald man with a water bag on the side wanted to help him, but he also groaned and fell to the ground.

At this time, everyone jumped up in shock, led the horses one after another, and got on the horse.

"Pfft." Another soldier fell beside the horse.

"Pfft." Another one, this time fell off the horse.

The smell of blood filled the air, indicating that these people had been assassinated strangely.

"Is it an arrow?" Liu Bei shouted while galloping on horseback.

"No..." The terrified voice of the soldier came from behind, "There was no arrow, and suddenly a small hole was made between the eyebrows."

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

"Ghost! It's a ghost!" Finally, someone couldn't take it any longer, and shouted frantically, and then the shouting stopped abruptly.

The hooves stopped.The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and no one dared to speak anymore, for fear of attracting ghosts in the mountains and forests. "Plop, plop." The beating sound of the heart was very clear, nine hearts.

Nine hearts, nine heads.One of them seemed to be timid, and retreated a little bit, showing a posture of retreating to the west.

"Snapped."

Nine minus one is eight.

The seventh person who died seemed to detonate a signal, and the remaining eight people galloped again. "Go to the ancient underground road." Liu Bei hoarsely shouted, "Entering is death, retreating is death. Entering Xuzhou territory, there is still a glimmer of life."

They were galloping through the woods, and branches of different thicknesses slapped their faces frantically, but no one cared about them, they just ran madly.Because as long as you look back, you can see that the number of people behind you is constantly decreasing.

Finally, Liu Bei saw the cliff.The familiar exposed rocks indicate that the entrance of the underground cave is behind.Fifteen minutes ago, he thought that he would be full of joy when he saw this rock, but at this moment, his heart was only despair.

The road behind was covered with blood, and twelve corpses fell there in a strange posture.As the moonlight dimmed, the crow began to squeak and flutter its wings.

Can't run away.

"Crack." There was a crisp sound, this time they heard the sound of a weapon that could kill a person thousands of meters away.

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

who is it?

Who is it?

"Oh." A woman sighed softly.With the last ray of moonlight, they saw clearly that slender figure that was familiar yet unfamiliar.She was wearing an oddly patterned armor that outlined her slender legs.There is 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 a protrusion in the front, a hand rest, a shoulder strap in the back, and a tripod underneath. The beauty of the complex structure is beyond words. , Just one look can make the master of the Mo family ashamed.

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

"Mr. Xuande guessed it." The woman's gentle voice still had the power of a god, but it was tainted with a murderous look that was hard to ignore. "It seems that I didn't cover it up well enough, and you have bad memories from the past. It was my fault."

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

Zhang Fei was awakened by Guan Yu's loud roar, and finally spliced ​​the truth into a logical string, his eyes were tearing apart. "Zhonghua, are you an assassin?!"

"I will punish the rebels." The woman remained 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 defected, so I came here to chase after him." There was a little smile in her voice, which was extraordinarily cool, better than the autumn wind.

"Impossible! The plain is more than a hundred miles away. Could Zhonghua be able to predict the future?"

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

Liu Bei suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears came out. "What's the virtue and the ability to prepare, let Mr. Zhonghua plan to this point, and then go to the danger alone. I lived to the age of [-], but I didn't achieve anything."

"...Liu Bei, very similar to Gaozu, but also like Guangwu, a hero. I show my true face and allow you to fight with 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 had completely set, and two gunshots exploded in the forest, startling several crows.Outside the woods, Guo Jia, who was separated from others because he and Liu Bei went around the terrain, 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 life-saving person, and he shouldn't deliver food when he is alone.But here is already the border between Xu and Yan. If Liu Bei is really lost, it will be too late to regret.
