The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Zhen Er and his group of more than ten people were all wiped out in an instant.

As the instigator, Lu Bu deliberately dodged and his body was still clean, with not even a drop of blood on his body.

He left in a hurry, not taking a few changes of clothes with him. Although he passed through many cities, he never entered any of them. Along the way, the sky and the ground were covered with darkness, so I had to care a little more about my clothes.

Lu Bu suddenly felt refreshed after he vented his anger that had been pent up for many years to the cheap guy. He didn't take a second look at the corpse on the ground, got on his horse, and drove the jade lion deep into the jungle.

After all, he came from Xiapi on a whim, and after being delayed for a while, Lu Bu looked up at the thick twilight, then randomly chose a place that suited his eyes and tied the jade lion to a big tree. , I am going to sleep here.

Unexpectedly, just when he was groping for some dry food in his arms and casually preparing to take a few bites, his ears suddenly twitched and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

This dense forest is six miles away from the Huaiyin City Gate. As we walked all the way there, except for the chirping of insects and birds, there was no sound at all.

But with his extraordinary hearing, he clearly heard the sound of horse hooves in an orderly manner at this dark moment!

What's going on?

Lu Bu frowned and became wary.

Without thinking, he put the rations back into his arms, took off the reins of the jade lion, and tightly coiled them in his hands.

——Listen to the ground shaking and the horses neighing, there must be at least five thousand people!

And they are well-trained troops, not just bandits and road bullies in small groups or stragglers.

It stands to reason that the world has just been unified by that fool, and those princes who are capable of causing trouble are still in Xianyang, and there are no bandits nearby to clear out. How can a group of elite soldiers appear out of thin air?

The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more he realized that this matter was strange.

Although he hadn't figured out the reason yet, he could hear that the enemy or friend's troops were getting closer and closer, so he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

So he tied the reins in his hands into a ball, threw them on the jade lion's back, and then slapped the horse's butt, urging the spiritual horse to escape in the opposite direction to the source of the sound.

The jade lion was unaware of the situation and thought its master was joking with him. It rubbed its big head affectionately on Lu Bu's neck and refused to leave.

Lu Bu: "..."

It's such a critical moment, why is this idiot still acting coquettishly?

It wasn't until Lu Bu got really angry and slapped it on the butt with 50% of the force that the jade lion jumped suddenly in shock.

Faced with the sudden and ruthless owner, it felt aggrieved and turned back three times, only to take small steps in the other direction.

It’s true that fools give fools to horses!

Lu Bu had a dark face, no matter how unreasonable this idea was, he viciously buried the idiot in his heart, and the next moment he used his hands and feet without hesitation, and with his tall body, he looked like a spiritual monkey. , in just a few moments, I climbed to the top of the tree, which was as tall as five people.

Taking advantage of the lush branches and leaves on the tree and the deep twilight, it was impossible to catch a glimpse of his figure just by the illumination of a few torches. Lu Bu chose a strong branch of the main tree and sat down, solemn his expression, and calmed down. Waiting for this unknown military force to show its true appearance.

Because they were still some distance away, and there were the sounds of horses' hooves stepping on the heavy fallen leaves and people pushing aside the branches and leaves that blocked the road, Lu Bu could vaguely hear what they were talking about, but he still couldn't hear it clearly.

It wasn't until the thousands of people were divided into countless groups and dispersed into the forest that a group of people walked back and forth, and finally came to the tree where Lu Bu was, and he saw their true identity.

Okay, let me take a look at which bastard is causing the trouble!

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the approaching firelight.

I saw the leading man with a stern face, bright silver armor, and a very tall body. He was riding a dark horse with only a handful of white hair on each of its four hooves...

The killing intent in Lu Bu's eyes suddenly solidified.

The shock at the moment he realized who it was made his hands and feet suddenly become weak, and he almost slipped and fell off the tree!

Damn Xipi, why is this fool here? !

Lu Bu's heart skipped a beat and he was completely panicked.

Looking at this majestic fool who came with the troops himself, he didn't even know what he was cursing in his heart at the moment.

As he walked eastward, it was rare for him to be idle all the time, and he couldn't help but wonder how the fool, the cheap man, and others would react after he left.

He didn't expect the fool to wake up and realize how unconscionable his decision was to use a military commander as the prime minister and make him work for the rest of his life.

But the other party suddenly lost such a wise and powerful subordinate like him, and the most capable subordinate in the world, so he must regret and miss him endlessly.

After all, those who can do things are not as understanding as him, and those who are understanding are not as good as him who can do things!

Every time he thought about this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel proud.

But he never dreamed that this idiot was so stubborn that he was following him closely. In just half a day, he led most of the troops to catch up with him!

Lu Bu suddenly felt bad.

Although he had been hanging out in the Chu camp for almost two years, he still didn't know much about the mysterious and unpredictable behavior of King Han, who was immovable and honest.

He didn't seek fame or fortune, he even kept the Long Yuan Sword, and only took away the jade lion given earlier and a few worthless gold ornaments in the room.

Why did such a small thing alert the new emperor to arrest him personally?

With the surname Fan

The princes and ministers headed by that old man are all working for nothing, and they actually let the king of a country wander around!

Just when Lu Bu was confused and confused, Emperor Chu, whose face was as sinking as water, coincidentally urged Wu Zui to the tree where Lu Bu was.

Under Lu Bu's frightened gaze, Xiang Yu suddenly turned over and dismounted, leaned his back against the thick tree trunk, closed his eyes and rested.

Look at this posture, he actually plans to wait here for his subordinates to report the situation!

Lu Bu: "..."

He had been so shocked and guilty that he had not dared to move.

Now that I had taken a breath, I realized that I was covered in cold sweat. Even my palms, which were usually not prone to sweating, were wet. The bark of the tree felt slightly moist to the touch.

He originally chose a comfortable position and a comfortable sitting position, but now he was on top of the idiot who was as smart as him, so he didn't dare to move at all.

I'm afraid that if I make the slightest noise, this idiot will look up...

Just when Lu Bu was stiff and turned into a stone sculpture, staring at the idiot below who had done him a lot of harm, other soldiers who were searching in the forest came back one after another.

As expected, these were all Chu Emperor's troops, and they were all faces he was quite familiar with over the past two years.

"Reporting to your majesty, General Lu's jade lion has been found!"

One of the teams found the jade lions that had not traveled very far and were wandering aimlessly nearby. They immediately felt like they had found a treasure and hurriedly brought them to His Majesty.

Xiang Yu, whose face was as dark as water, finally raised his eyes, and a little light appeared in his dim eyes.

He chased Lu Bu's whereabouts all the way here. After hearing that there were dozens of gangsters from the fish and meat village outside the dense forest on the outskirts of the city, and they were killed by a ranger from nowhere, he rushed here without stopping.

After checking the fatal injuries on the still-warm corpses, the original nine-point certainty became very certain.

Only Fengxian has such beautiful and sharp skills.

Only Fengxian possesses the majestic momentum and chivalrous spirit of caring for the young and killing evildoers wherever he goes. He is still praised by the people of Qi.

Xiang Yu's eyes gradually softened.

In the past, Fengxian Shang was a soft-spoken man, but he still dared to kill Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, who had insulted him with his own hands during the banquet.

Today I dare to run thousands of miles to kill Zhen Er, the villain who insulted my sworn brother Han Xin in the past.

——As long as the horse is there, the man will not be far away.

"good."

Xiang Yu was determined in his heart and nodded slowly: "Keep looking. Fengxian has made a move to leave, so he must be good at hiding his body and not leave any secret place."

Hearing the inevitable victory in His Majesty's words, everyone was stunned and responded in unison: "Here!"

Lu Bu looked at it from above and was still shaking his head happily at this moment. He had no idea that because of its difficulty in escaping and betraying its owner's whereabouts, the stupid horse felt a sharp pain in his chest.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have ridden this stupid and eye-catching guy!

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it. No matter how angry he is now, he can't stop Xiang Hanzi who insists that he hides in this forest and wants his soldiers to turn this place upside down.

The only hope is that Xiang Yu can find somewhere else to go before dawn makes his hiding place obvious...

Lu Bu's mind was in confusion, and he still didn't dare to move.

There was no one else around except the two personal guards and Lu Bu on the tree. Xiang Yu stared at the leisurely posture of the jade lion without saying a word, and suddenly asked softly as if talking to himself: "Where is your master?"

The jade lion blinked innocently.

Xiang Yu sighed lightly and said no more.

This question clearly fell into Lu Bu's ears.

He frowned and pursed his lips uncomfortably.

He really couldn't ignore the melancholy, and for the first time, he couldn't even call Xiang Yu the word "silly" for asking questions.

It stands to reason that he is truly retiring with great achievements. Not only does he not owe Emperor Han, but he should be said to have benefited from Xiang Yu.

Why does it feel like he owes this feather a lot now?

Just when Lu Bu was puzzled, he had been gnawing at the fresh grass with his head down in boredom, and suddenly tilted his head.

One of its dark eyes happened to meet Lu Bu's gaze hidden among the branches at the next moment!

Lu Bu's throat tightened inexplicably.

The next moment, he silently laughed at himself: Are you afraid that he was so shocked by Xiang Yu's sudden move that he lost consciousness? It's just that he was discovered by a horse, so what's the big deal?

No matter how well Wu Zhui understands human nature, he can't tell people what to say. Is it possible that he can still report him to his master?

Little did Lu Bu know that his idea was terribly wrong.

——It is true that Wu Zhui cannot speak, but he also has the talent of informing people.

Xiang Yu closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, when he suddenly heard the horse beside him gradually becoming commotion, and pushing his head against him from time to time.

What's wrong?

Xiang Yu looked at Wu Zui in confusion, who suddenly became extremely anxious for some reason.

Wu Zhui ignored Lu Bu's glare full of anger and warning. He first dug his front hooves into the ground, then raised his head and neighed. His head was still thrusting against the ignorant master from time to time, and he was holding on very hard.

Xiang Yu was confused and looked at the Wu Zima's strange behavior for a long time before his thoughts suddenly moved.

Although he is a little slow, after all, he has fought side by side with Wu Zhui for many years, and they have a tacit understanding of each other.

He instinctively looked around without noticing anything, and the next moment he felt blessed.

, holding his breath and looking up——

He saw that his beloved general, whom he had been dreaming about and pursuing for the past ten days, was crouching on the tree like the legendary colorful giant tiger.

A pair of eyes reflected the bright firelight, scorching silently, looking straight at him.
