The Collection of The End

——AD 187——

Luoyang North, Baibo Taiping Road temporary altar.

"Dong Zhuo has mastered part of 'Diao Chan', possesses 'Hua Shuangfen', and specifically uses bait to deal with you who are on a mission to expel and mislead?"

Liu Bei frowned and started thinking.

After Zhang He and Gao Lan returned in a slightly embarrassed state, they reported to Liu Bei the details of the previous encounter:

One person pretended to be a coachman and lured Gao Lan to threaten him, but there were several women in black ambushing him, and they used "turning double powder" to destroy Gao Lan's "unparalleled power". In the end, he had to rely on Prime Minister Zhang He who was not affected by it. The rescuer managed to escape.

"Sure enough, Dong Zhuo had a disobedient heart, and he actually laid a secret hand in the female official organization that belongs directly to the queen." Sima Fang on the side responded solemnly: "'Due to its own characteristics, turning into double powder' cannot They have been preserved for a long time, so their identities have not been discovered until now, which is a variable in our plan.”

"When I went to rescue His Majesty, I was likely to be attacked by these female officers who thought they were 'one of my own'." Sima Lang nodded in agreement.

"Uh, so no women are allowed to come near?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and said.

"The black fire of purgatory will burn all the spider spirits, snake spirits, and scorpion spirits that come close to your husband!" Xiahou Ji immediately agreed.

No, it should be a vixen anyway... Liu Bei glanced at his third brother.

"In this case, we should hold our troops temporarily and decide the next step based on the intelligence feedback from Yang Feng and Guo Tai." Sima Fang said: "Generals Zhang and Gao did not reveal their identities, so the original plan did not fail. In this way first--"

"This must never be done!"

Liu Bei thought for a while and found that there was no obvious flaw. He was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly heard a boy say:

"You've been fooled!"

"Zhongda, why do you say this? Is there any basis for it?" Sima Fang was interrupted and was not angry. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at his youngest son who appeared at the door.

"Uh," Sima Yi, who was eavesdropping but suddenly spoke out of desperation, couldn't think of an excuse for a moment. After "uh" for a moment, he repeated it again like a broken pot: "...I just got fooled!"

Sima Fang's face darkened: "Have you turned a deaf ear to your father's teachings? If you put forward a point of view without corresponding evidence, it will be like a wild dog barking; if you only list premises without presumptions, it will be like a nuisance of mosquitoes and flies. Our Sima family How can there be such arrogant people? Boda, take the family law——"

The Sima family's tutor seemed to be quite strict. Sima Lang just glanced at his younger brother sympathetically, and then went outside to find some family advice - wooden sticks or something else.

"My son didn't want to interrupt at first, but when he heard his father's words, he suddenly felt that if this continues, our Sima family, as well as Mr. Liu, will be in disaster." Sima Yi argued with a frown on his neck.

"You dare to quibble!" Sima Fang was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared. He casually took the riding whip from the returning Sima Lang and stood up to whip it.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Jiangong," Liu Bei had to stop him even though he knew that they were mostly acting for his own benefit. "This situation seems to be a sign of the awakening of 'unparalleled' or 'strategist characteristics', so I'd better ask. It’s appropriate.”

"Humph, Shuzi, what did you see? Tell me." Sima Fang threw the whip back to Sima Lang and stared at Sima Yi and asked.

"The black dragon, raging waves, and red lightning will swallow us up in the giant wave," Sima Yi said, "Moreover, the giant wave has already taken shape at the beginning of the illusion, so we must escape immediately."

"Oh?" Sima Fang stroked his beard thoughtfully, "This indicates that the next action will be very risky? But where does the risk come from?"

It seems that someone or a certain force in Luoyang is executing a dangerous plan. If left alone, there will be disaster, so go ahead and destroy it.

The decision has been made,

Liu Bei responded to Sima Fang.

"Then, how about we go directly to Luoyang without waiting for the report from Yang Feng and others?"

"..." Sima Yi looked at Liu Bei as if he were a fool.

――――

Luoyang North Gate.

Due to the influence of Sima Yi's unknown "unparalleled" or "strategist characteristics", Liu Bei did not wait for Yang Feng and Guo Tai to meet up, and rushed to Luoyang in disguise with Zhang Fei and Xiahou Ji in advance.

Since Zhang He and Gao Lan had fought against the rebellious "Diao Chan" and a certain unparalleled general, they stayed in the camp for the time being, preparing to march to Luoyang with them after the "Baibo Taiping Road" returned.

"You guys! Stop!"

As expected, they were stopped by the city gate guards. Even though they had changed their clothes slightly, the contrast between Zhang Fei and Xia Houji's distinctive body shapes was still very noticeable.

"Force it?" "Burn it?" Zhang Fei and Xia Houji each put forward what they thought were reasonable suggestions.

"Don't act rashly." Liu Bei could only say this.

In any case, the name of the great scholar Lu Zhi is still very useful. Although the Liangzhou Army, Baibo Taiping Road and Qingzhou Army are pressing down on the border, it has nothing to do with him, Liu Xuande of Youzhou.

The two city gate guards raised their spears cautiously and surrounded Zhang Fei, but they seemed to dare not get too close.

Liu Bei took a step forward and planned to persuade:

"You two, we are-"

Buzz——

There seemed to be "something" passing by in the void, leaving a figure with a silver gun and silver armor in Liu Bei's eyes.

Zhao Yun? He's here? No, perhaps it should be said that he is indeed here.

However, if this chivalrous young general is here, where does the "catastrophe" begin?

"Brother Yun~"

Before Liu Bei had time to think about it, a little girl's cheers came from far and near. This voice sounded close to Xiahou Ji's age, but it was different from the pride she had when holding the rabbit, and it was not lost. The rabbit is timid, but overall it is full of optimism and confidence.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Following the running sound of some kind of ungulate, an animal with a white body and a long neck, like a fusion of a sheep and a camel, flew from the east, directly trampled the two city gate guards and rushed over.

"Brother Yun~wait for me!"

When the strange animal passed by, the girl's voice sounded again. Only then did Liu Bei see clearly that it was a girl riding on the back of the animal, wearing a goose-yellow palace dress and a fairy skirt. She was holding the animal's mane with one hand and holding the animal with the other. Waving a konghou.

"I was shocked," Zhang Fei said, patting his heart: "I thought that furry thing spoke, but it turned out to be a little girl."

"Huh?" Xiahou Ji on the side seemed to hear some key words and turned around: "Little girl? Are you as beautiful as me?"

Liu Bei, who was checking the guards at the two city gates, looked up when he heard this and found that the doll rabbit hidden by Xiahou Ji behind his back was burning with blazing black fire. It seemed that Zhang Fei was going to throw it out if he answered incorrectly.

"Ah?" Zhang Fei scratched his head: "I didn't pay attention to what she looked like."

Tsk...the flames on the rabbit were completely extinguished.

That should be Cai Wenji, the youngest daughter of the great sage Cai Yong. Liu Bei thought, they had seen her before when they came to Luoyang last time, but now they couldn't recognize her. It was indeed a female eighteenth-year-old.

Although the girl rode that thing around by herself last time, Cao Cao couldn't let her run too far alone, so she should have come with the Qingzhou Army this time.

"It seems that Cao Mengde still can't control her." After confirming that the two guards were just passed out, Liu Bei stood up, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"Who says it's not?" A somewhat arrogant and indifferent woman's voice responded with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Liu Bei turned around and saw that she was a tall woman whose facial contours and eyebrow lines were 70% similar to Cai Wenji who had just run by. She was wearing a dark blue women's official uniform that was transformed from ordinary official uniforms. , holding a strange harp in his hand that was more than three times larger than Cai Wenji.

"Liu Xuande has met Mr. Cai." Liu Bei bowed his hands and saluted.

Although he has never met Cai Zhenji in person over the years due to chance, he has always heard about her deeds - from his teacher Lu Zhi.

However, he often doubted whether the strange woman whom the teacher said was well-educated, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, led people and dealt with things like a spring breeze, and inherited all Cai Yong's knowledge, was the same person he had heard about.

"I wonder what Governor Liu has to do when he comes to Beijing at this time?" Cai Wan asked.

"This..." You can't say that you are here to save the emperor. Judging from what Cao Cao confided, he has already made up his mind to make Princess Liu Nai the emperor. Becoming "Guangwu" himself is probably an obstacle to him.

Liu Bei was struggling, but Cai Zhenji waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to continue talking.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I don't want to listen to those lies that are full of mistakes." She said: "I suggest you leave Luoyang immediately. The coming storm here is unimaginable. If you insist on staying, you must be ready at any time. Prepare to die."

"Thank you, Miss Cai, for the reminder," Liu Bei said with his hands in hand.

"I'm not doing this for your sake," Cai Wan said, walking towards Xiahou Ji: "This is just for the 'friend' Wen Ji always talks about."

Xia Houji, who had just chatted with Zhang Fei a few more times and got a satisfactory answer, saw Cai Wan walking up to her and tilted her head in confusion.

"Haha, although she is not the same type as Wen Ji, she is still very cute," Cai Wan praised, then stretched out her hand to Xia Hou Ji's face, as if she wanted to pinch it.

"Ah!!" Xiahou Ji suddenly shouted in shock and anger, "It turns out it's you!"

"What?" Cai Wan paused subconsciously.

"You scorpion spirit who almost killed your husband!" Xiahou Ji yelled words that others could not understand as usual, but this time she seemed to mean it: "Jade Rabbit! Burn her to death!"

Boom boom boom——

The rabbit doll was thrown out by her, rolling in the air and quickly becoming huge. The whole body was ignited with blazing black fire, and finally it hit the ground hard.

"Uh..." One of the guards who had been stepped down by Cai Wenji woke up leisurely. Then he saw the huge flaming rabbit and the blackened city wall, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted again.
