Chapter 25 Losing His Wife and Losing His Army (Part [-])

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but froze in place.

He hadn't expected that the other party would be so direct.

Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang met before the Battle of Chibi.At that time, he visited Sun Quan to discuss the alliance between the two, and there he met Sun Quan's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang.

And when he met Sun Shangxiang for the first time, he decided that he must marry this woman in his life.

Later, he met Sun Shangxiang several times in private. The two of them can be said to be concubines and concubines, and they have already made a private decision for life.

Liu Bei originally thought that after the Battle of Chibi, he would come to propose marriage to the Sun family and formally marry her, but he never thought that the other party would come to him and directly recognize him as her husband.

Happiness came so suddenly, which made Liu Bei a little embarrassed.

He thought for a while, and was about to speak, but Sun Shangxiang punched him again, interrupting what he was about to speak.

"Speaking of you, you are really strange! I found out that Zhou Yu sent Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to kill your military adviser, so I sent my maidservant Xiao Ji to send you a message.

As a result, you took my letter, and instead of rushing back to Jiangxia, you even sent out the rest of the soldiers, don't you want to die? "

Hearing this, Liu Bei was not angry, he just shook his head and replied seriously:

"Even if I send out all the ten thousand soldiers, Lu Su and the others can't do anything to me. Besides, there's still you here."

Hearing this, even Sun Shangxiang, who has a straightforward personality, couldn't take it anymore. She hit Liu Bei a few more times with her powder fist, until the big man screamed in pain again and again, and then she stopped.

The two were relatively silent for a long time, laughing through tears.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the two turned their heads to look, and found that hundreds of fine cavalry had stopped in front of them.

But the strange thing is that when they saw these cavalry, neither of them was surprised, let alone scared, they just silently watched one of the leaders get off his horse and walk in front of them.

"Report my lord, that Lu Su really caught the trick. He led people to chase after the two horses you released, and they have gone far away."

The one who spoke was a heroic woman holding a spear.

And this cavalry unit is exactly Sun Shangxiang's private soldiers - Xiao Ji's servants who are all made up of women.

It was this private soldier who had informed Liu Bei before, but it turned out that they had been lying in ambush nearby, monitoring Lu Su's every move.

Hearing the report from her subordinates, Sun Shangxiang nodded in satisfaction. She took two new war horses from Xiao Ji's maidservant, handed the reins of one of the horses to Liu Bei, and said:
"Husband, since Zhou Yu sent Lu Su here again, he must be ready to turn his face. We must return to Jiangxia as soon as possible. Only with soldiers in hand can we protect ourselves."

After Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he was so happy that he couldn't believe it and asked: "Shang Xiang, are you...willing to go to Jiangxia with me?"

"You are the husband I believe, and I love you, so I will go back with you naturally." Sun Shangxiang nodded and said generously.

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed softly: "Oh, it's a pity that you will see swordsmen and soldiers in Jiangxia next, and the conditions are difficult. I'm afraid I will wrong you."

"Humph."

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang chuckled lightly, got on the horse neatly, took off the longbow on his back, and said loudly,

"Husband, don't underestimate me. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child. With my kung fu, why should I be afraid of this sword? If the thief Cao dares to attack me, Jiang Xia, then he has to ask me if the bow in my hand agrees to it." promise!"

Liu Bei sighed when he heard the words, walked to the side of the horse, and said:
"It's a pity that the enemy we have to face may not only be Cao Cao. If Zhou Yu and I have torn our faces, I am afraid that your brother will also be our enemy. Words"

Sun Shangxiang listened, smiled heartily, and said: "Since you and I are in love with each other, why do you need the orders of your parents and the words of a matchmaker? Don't worry, I don't want anything else, you just need to carry a big sedan chair and marry me to get started. .”

After finishing speaking, Sun Shangxiang didn't talk about love with Liu Bei any more. She waved her hand and called Xiao Ji's servants to follow, and then she patted her horse and left.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's handsome back, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.

He didn't continue to struggle, just got on the horse and followed quickly.

The two returned to the place they had left with several hundred Xiao Ji maidservants. Liu Bei reined in his horse and saw that he did not see the corpses of his hundred guards, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that if Lu Su wanted to kill his guards, it would definitely be impossible to take them away and kill them again.

Since there are no corpses here, it means that they were just taken away, and there is no danger of their lives for the time being.

Just like what Shang Xiang said, only by returning to Jiangxia safely and holding a heavy army can he have a bargaining chip to protect his guards from death.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei planned to follow the plan and take a roundabout route back to Jiangxia.

However, at the moment when he rode his horse and was about to leave, countless flaming feather arrows hit them directly and overwhelmingly!
"???"

Seeing this sudden rain of arrows, Liu Bei, who has experienced many battles, was the first to react. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pulled out the male and female twin swords, and activated his life and soul ability, showing strong benevolence.

[Fate Soul Ability: Zhao Lie Ren De]

[Fate Soul Effect: It can consume energy and greatly increase the attributes of people other than yourself, including but not limited to enhancing strength, speed, endurance, defense, etc. 】

The purpose of Liu Bei's ability is to cover all the people behind him, greatly improving their defense and ensuring that they will not suffer much damage even if they are hit by feathered arrows.

However, the life soul effect of this life soul ability has a big flaw, that is, he can only enhance the abilities of people other than himself, not himself.

In this case, even if Liu Bei's [Zhao Lie Ren De] can help others to block the arrows, he will be buried under the rain of arrows.

Knowing this, Sun Shangxiang suddenly turned pale with fright, and she hastily drew her bow to shoot.

However, facing the rain of arrows all over the sky, even if she has amazing archery skills, how many arrows can she knock down?After all, it is useless.

After Sun Shangxiang shot a few arrows, she realized this. She immediately prepared to abandon her horse and rushed to her husband, using her body to block the rain of arrows for him.

However, before she could make a move, she saw Liu Bei make a move first. He got off the horse sideways, and then found a blind spot and hid under the horse's belly.

Along with his male and female twin swords emitting a dazzling golden light, the horse's body suddenly became radiant, and the original brown horse turned into a golden horse. Under the influence of [Zhao Lie Ren De], Turn into an impenetrable fortress.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shangxiang felt relieved.

It turns out that the person I like is not the kind of abusive person who only contributes to others and doesn't care about himself at all. He has his own way to protect everything in this world.

Thinking so, she commanded Xiao Ji's servants to imitate Liu Bei's movements, and soon, everyone hid under the horse's belly.

Countless arrows rained down on the horse's back, Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang and the hundreds of maidservants following them were not injured.

Even those war horses only had some fur injuries, neighed a few times in dissatisfaction, and became a little irritable.

The danger of the rain of arrows finally passed smoothly. The only thing they sacrificed was the power Liu Bei consumed when using the power of life and soul.

"Husband, are you okay?" Seeing that there was no more rain of arrows, Sun Shangxiang rushed to Liu Bei's side and asked.

At this moment, Liu Bei was already extremely weak, he just waved his hands when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

He then raised his head and looked in the direction of the arrow rain not far away.

In that direction, thousands of archers did not draw their bows, and then, one man and one horse slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang was startled. Facing the sun, she squinted her eyes and looked closely.

Then she discovered that the person sitting on the horse turned out to be Lu Su!
