The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 69 Adversity sees the truth

Liu Bian and his party marched along the official road to Jiangyi, but the team seemed extremely quiet. Liu Bian kept his head down and remained silent, and everyone followed Liu Bian silently when they saw this. After the outline of Jiangyi's city wall appeared in front of him, Liu Biancai raised his right hand silently, stopped the people who continued to move forward, and said, "Everyone, be careful and be vigilant."

Yu Wencheng hurriedly rode to Liu Bian's side, frowned and said, "There is something strange."

Liu Bian nodded, glanced around, and said, "It's noon, but there is no one outside Jiangyi City, which is a bit unusual."

Zhang Xun nodded approvingly, and said: "If things go wrong, there must be monsters. I think that we should choose a dangerous place to meet the enemy."

"You mean there is an ambush nearby?" Lei Wanchun asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun and Liu Bian looked at each other silently, and the two nodded in unison. Liu Bian waved to the people behind him and said, "Retreat slowly, don't let the other party see our flaws."

Liu Bian and his party had too many flaws. Tang Ji, Li Ru, Yang Xiu, and the four maidservants who took care of Tang Ji's daily life were all powerless people. Once they encountered an ambush, they would immediately become Liu Bian and others are a burden, and the sad thing is that Liu Bian can't just sit back and watch them fend for themselves.

Tang Ji is Liu Bian's married couple. Since they got married, they have suffered a lot with him. How can Liu Bian let such a good woman fall into the hands of the enemy?
Li Ru is the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo's command. He has made a lot of achievements in strategy and strategy. He can be regarded as a ready-made mature strategist. Liu Bian needs such a talent that can be used immediately to make suggestions for himself.

In addition, Liu Bian also needs to use Li Ru's reputation to prove his identity to the world.

Not to mention Yang Xiu, his status and status are all there. Although Liu Bian has not found too many bright spots in him yet, Yang Xiu's status alone is enough to make Liu Bian feel good about him. He looked up.

At that time, Li Ru and Yang Xiu will endorse Liu Bian at the same time, which will also add a convincing force to his identity and legitimacy.

Liu Bian looked sideways at Nan Jiyun, who was guarding him, and said, "Nanba, you must protect Tang Ji and the two gentlemen later. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave them three."

Liu Bian cast a meaningful look at Nan Jiyun. Seeing this, Nan Jiyun nodded silently and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as I have breath, no one will be able to harm them."

The reason why Liu Bian asked Nan Jiyun, who is excellent in martial arts, to protect the three of Tang Ji was mainly because of his superb archery skills. At this critical juncture, no accidents must happen. With Nan Jiyun protecting him, Li Ru and Yang Xiu also absolutely did not dare to have any other thoughts.

The group of people retreated slowly along the official road until they reached a dense forest before stopping slowly.

This is a path in the forest, and there are bushes several feet high beside the road. If you want to enter the dense forest, you can only take this path.

Right now.

Suddenly there was a thunderous roar in the distance.

Liu Bian looked down at his feet silently, and found that the gravel on the ground seemed to have been given life suddenly, and it trembled rhythmically with the roar.

Liu Bian didn't dare to delay the slightest, and quickly ordered Yuwen Chengdu and Lei Wanchun to stop the carriage loaded with goods in front of the road and act as a repelling horse, then turned around and looked at Tang Ji and the others who were temporarily placed behind the horse refusal formation, saying ;"If you see that something is impossible, you can retreat first, first find a hidden place to avoid the sharp edge, and after I get out of danger, I will go to meet you."

When Tang Ji heard the words, she suddenly felt her heart tense, but she saw her tearful eyes looking at Liu Bian, and said, "Why don't you go with me, Your Majesty? It's not too late to avoid the edge for now, and then make another plan."

"Ever since I was born, I have been stared at. My father said I was frivolous and imposing, and even thought of abandoning my establishment because of it. My mother and uncle also treated me as a child and never let me touch political affairs. Needless to say Dong thief, I have been patient everywhere, but what I got in return is to make progress again and again."

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, turned around to look at the empty official road, laughed miserably, and said, "Actually, I have nowhere to go. In the past, I was surrounded by treacherous and powerful officials, but now I am surrounded by Friends and brothers."

Liu Bian's eyes became more and more firm, and he continued: "I have swallowed my anger for 15 years, and now I can no longer retreat. If I choose to retreat without fighting every time I face danger, then from now on, I fear Will completely lose the courage to take a step forward.”

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, and I will help you."

With a loud roar, Nan Jiyun jumped out of the horse-rejecting array and stood up to protect Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was slightly taken aback, and turned to look in Tang Ji's direction, but saw Li Ru and Yang Xiuxiu looking at him with wry smiles on their faces, while Tang Ji, who had always been gentle and delicate, held a sword and was in charge of guarding the girl who was tied to the tree with her backhand. Li Ru and Yang Xiu.

"If Your Majesty dies, the concubine will not be able to live in the world. In the future, I will have a companion on the road to Huangquan." Tang Ji held the sword in her hand and gestured a few times in front of Li Ru and Yang Xiu, scaring them to turn their heads away. .

While trying his best to dodge Tang Ji's wildly waving sword, Li Ru tried his best to stabilize Tang Ji's excitement, and said, "I don't think the empress has such a strong side. I admire, admire."

Yang Xiu nodded quickly when he heard the words, and said: "Swords have no eyes, you must be careful, don't hurt your body."

Liu Bian smiled slightly, and said: "Both Wen You are bound here, forgive them for not being able to escape, Aifei need not worry."

When Tang Ji heard this, her mood gradually stabilized. She slowly put down her sword, and looked sideways at the cavalry team that was getting closer, her eyes were full of unconcealable worry.

Liu Bian pointed his gun at the leader of the other party, looked sideways at Li Ru, and said, "Wenyou, do you know this person?"

Hearing this, Li Ru stared at that man for a long time, and said: "The man here is Hua Xiong, a fierce general under Xiangguo's command. This man is superb in martial arts and is good at commanding cavalry in battle. Your Majesty must not be careless and underestimate the enemy."

Yang Xiu blinked his eyes in confusion when he heard the words, and said in his heart: "What's the situation? Are you really afraid of death? The queen just made a few gestures with the sword, and you did all the tricks?"

Liu Bian took a deep look at Li Ru, then nodded silently, and said, "This is a good start, and I hope Wen You can keep going."

Li Ru sighed helplessly, then silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Liu Bian looked sideways at Yuwen Chengdu, and said, "Hua Xiong will handle it for you."

"promise."

Yu Wencheng licked his chapped lips excitedly, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take the head of this thief and present it to Your Majesty."

"Lei Wanchun and I charged forward, and Nan Ba ​​held the bow to sweep the battle for us in the rear."

"promise."

Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun nodded in unison.

Liu Bian looked at Zhang Xun and Chai Shao who were eager to try, and said, "You two just need to take care of the car here."
