Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 420: What difficulty is there in this?

Even Li Ji, who had vaguely guessed this scene, was dumbfounded.

With such skill, ordinary people might not achieve even a fraction of it after a hundred years of practice.

This is the perfect embodiment of arm strength, eyesight, and archery, and it showcases Zhao Yun's amazing talent.

"Excellent! Zilong is truly a divine archer!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

Hitting a target about fifty steps away is not difficult; even Liu Bei could achieve eight or nine out of ten shots. However, what Zhao Yun did was change the trajectory of Li Ji's arrow and hit the wild deer.

The difficulty involved is simply unimaginable.

Liu Bei asked himself, and feared that even if he exhausted his entire life, he could not possess this level of archery.

In contrast, Liu Bei also knew that even if he buried himself in study for another hundred years, he still wouldn't match Li Ji's wisdom.

This made Liu Bei increasingly understand the meaning of what Emperor Gaozu said: "Inferior to others, yet able to seize the world."

Li Ji rode his horse towards the fallen wild deer, smiling as he said, "Wouldn't this be considered prey that I personally shot and killed?"

"Yes! Of course, it counts," Liu Bei said with a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, I thought this good bow in my hand was going to become a benevolent bow, adhering to the principle of never seeing blood or taking life, but unexpectedly, with Zilong's help, it broke its vow," Li Ji couldn't help but laugh.

"It is Yun's fault," Zhao Yun echoed.

"Since it is Zilong's fault, then Zilong must be punished to eat an extra deer leg later."

Li Ji said, then dismounted, preparing to grill the deer on the spot.

Since Liu Bei said that this outing was for enjoying the scenery, Li Ji naturally didn't forget to bring salt, spices, and several jars of fine wine.

Afterward, Zhao Yun sent the other prey they had hunted along the way to the White Horse义从 following behind, and while the White Horse义从 rested and ate, they brought back the salt, spices, and fine wine.

As for dealing with the wild deer, it was even less of a problem among Li Ji's group.

Zhang Fei was indeed a powerful figure in Zhuo County, but he often personally slaughtered pigs and sheep to sell at the market.

Therefore, knowing how to handle a wild deer was old hat for Zhang Fei.

By the time Zhao Yun returned, the wild deer had been properly prepared by Zhang Fei and placed on a fire made from firewood that Liu Bei and Li Ji had gathered together for grilling.

Li Ji, who loved food the most, personally took on the role of chef, skillfully grilling the fresh wild deer until it was fragrant.

Coupled with several jars of fine wine to add to the fun, they sat on the ground and shared the venison.

For everyone, it was a long-lost sense of relaxation and joy.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun all had considerable appetites. Only Li Ji ate relatively less, but he didn't waste a single bit of the venison that nature had provided, completely devouring the entire wild deer.

Just as everyone was full and ready to get back on their horses and depart, the four warhorses tied to the side suddenly became restless, and Zhao Yun, with his keenest senses, suddenly stood up and looked around.

Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly asked.

"Zilong, what's wrong?"

The next moment, at a location about forty steps away from the group, a striped tiger slowly emerged, staring intently at Liu Bei, Li Ji, and the others in the distance, clearly regarding them as prey.

However, facing this suddenly appearing tiger, Liu Bei and Li Ji exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

If Li Ji were alone in the wilderness and encountered a tiger, then Li Ji would respectfully say, "Great Tiger King, spare my life."

But with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei by his side, and both of them carrying weapons, Li Ji could only say that the little tiger was somewhat throwing itself into the net.

Li Ji couldn't help but pat his stomach, and said.

"What a pity, we're already full. This tiger only appeared now. Otherwise, I really wanted to try the taste of tiger meat."

"What difficulty is there in this?"

Liu Bei also said with a smile. "Zilong, Yide, why don't you go and fetch a good piece of tiger meat for our military advisor, so that the military advisor can have a taste tonight."

"Big brother, leave it to me! I know which piece of meat is the most delicious!"

Zhang Fei shouted anxiously, afraid that Zhao Yun would snatch the opportunity.

It was rare to be full of food and drink, and then a tiger popped out. Wasn't this a good way to digest?

Zhao Yun's humble and gentle personality naturally wouldn't compete with Zhang Fei, allowing Zhang Fei to pick up his丈八蛇矛 and rush towards the tiger as if he had seen some peerless beauty.

The tiger, at this moment, was more or less confused.

Tigers naturally wouldn't be picky eaters, and it wasn't uncommon for them to eat living people over the years.

But in the past, when living people saw tigers, they almost always fled for their lives. How could there be anyone like Zhang Fei today who took the initiative to pounce on them?

Subconsciously, the striped tiger roared at Zhang Fei with a sound that shook the mountains and wilderness.

"Roar!"

However, Zhang Fei saw that this beast was not only unafraid of him, but dared to bare its teeth at him. He was furious, and his thunderous voice suddenly burst out.

"呔!!!"

This thunderous voice even overwhelmed the tiger's roar, causing the striped tiger to tremble.

Moreover, as Zhang Fei's extremely burly figure quickly approached, it actually made the striped tiger feel fear. Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to approach within ten steps, the striped tiger suddenly turned around and fled to the rear.

"Beast, you still dare to run?!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei rushed up almost without hesitation. The man and the tiger almost disappeared from the sight of Liu Bei and the others in the blink of an eye.

However, Liu Bei and the others, who knew Zhang Fei's martial prowess well, were not in a hurry at all. They slowly packed up their things, took Zhang Fei's Stepping Snow Black Horse, and then followed the direction in which the tiger fled.

With the appearance of the tiger, Li Ji remembered that he had almost forgotten to report to Liu Bei about the matter of the Jiangdong tiger.

"What? Brother Wentai encountered an ambush and died?!"

Upon learning of this news, Liu Bei's face was full of sorrow, and he opened his mouth with great emotion.

"Alas, Brother Wentai, if I had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

At this moment, Liu Bei was indeed filled with sorrow and grief over Sun Jian's death, otherwise, there would be no need to feign in front of Li Ji and Zhao Yun, who were his own people.

Even in Luoyang, in the end, the relationship between the two sides became somewhat strained due to the Jade Seal.

However, the two sides had known each other for many years, and Liu Bei was able to have a say in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, thanks to Sun Jian's support.

Moreover, the dead were the greatest, and with Liu Bei's magnanimity, he would naturally not excessively pursue Sun Jian's mistakes.

Immediately, Liu Bei thought of Sun Jian's family living in Wu County, and couldn't help but say.

"If Madam Wu learns of this matter, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable, right? Quan'er, Xiangxiang, and Yi'er are also young, and losing their biological father is so painful."

"You reap what you sow. Sun Wentai's fate is such, and he can't blame others," Li Ji also said with some emotion.

In the end, Sun Jian's character was too strong, and not only was it difficult to listen to the advice of others, but he also harbored greed and ambition when he saw the Jade Seal, not knowing what it meant to be guilty of possessing a treasure.

Based on the territory Sun Jian possessed now, even if he returned to Changsha with the Jade Seal and revealed it, it was still unknown whether he would be supported by a cloud of followers or attacked by the masses.

Only if one is strong enough can one protect the Jade Seal, and only then can one use the righteousness that the Jade Seal brings for one's own purposes.

It should be known that even the Zhao State of the Seven Warring States ultimately failed to protect the He Shi Bi, so why did Sun Jian think he could control such a treasure?

Unable to see himself clearly, unable to see the situation clearly, and possessing a treasure, this is the way to death.

What Li Ji valued was never whether Sun Jian died or not, but to point out the key, saying.

"Now that Sun Wentai is dead, the key is that the Jade Seal is likely to have fallen into the hands of Liu Jingzhou."

"Hiss..."

Liu Bei suddenly reacted, and then said with some uncertainty.

"Jingsheng is also a member of the Han clan, a pillar of the Han Dynasty. After obtaining the Jade Seal, he should quickly send it back to Luoyang to return it to His Majesty, right?"

To this, Li Ji did not comment.

Li Ji had naturally collected a lot of information about Liu Biao's deeds, but Li Ji had never personally contacted Liu Biao after all, so it was difficult to make an accurate evaluation.

However, Zhao Yun, who had been silently following and not making a sound to disturb Liu Bei and Li Ji, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"My lord, something is not right. There is the sound of weapons clashing ahead."

Immediately, Liu Bei and Li Ji's expressions changed, and they quickly sped up towards the front.

After rushing past several blind spots that blocked their vision, what came into view was Zhang Fei fighting fiercely with a warrior who was more than eight feet tall, with a waist of ten圍, and wielding a ring-pommel saber.

The striped tiger that Zhang Fei had chased before had already been chopped to death in a corner, lying on the ground without a trace of life.

In addition, in the other direction from which Liu Bei and the others came, there were also more than a hundred young and strong men wearing cloth or leather armor made of fur, holding all kinds of weapons, also watching the fierce battle in the field.

When Liu Bei and the others arrived, the hundred or so people subconsciously made vigilant gestures towards Liu Bei and the others, until they discovered that there were only three riders, and then they relaxed again.

Liu Bei looked around the situation, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

In the fierce battle in the field, the two sides were naturally fighting fiercely, but there was no tendency to fight to the death.

Moreover, this place was not far from Xu Village that Li Ji had originally mentioned, which made Liu Bei have some guesses in his heart, and he asked Li Ji in a low voice.

"Zikun, could this person be..."

Li Ji nodded slightly, agreeing. "If there are no surprises, this person is likely Xu Chu without a doubt."

Zhang Fei's physique, even looking at the entire Han Dynasty, is already considered an extremely exaggerated type.

However, Xu Chu undoubtedly surpasses Zhang Fei in terms of physique, and when the two fought fiercely, there was a feeling of being evenly matched in the contest of strength, even with a faint sense that Zhang Fei was constantly being suppressed in the infantry battle.

Li Ji naturally wouldn't believe that there could be so many coincidences in the world, and even less so that a fierce warrior comparable to Zhang Fei would just randomly appear.

Therefore, the person currently engaged in fierce battle with Zhang Fei is most likely the Xu Chu they are looking for without a doubt.
