Cao Pi, who surrounded Li Jing, rode on horseback, held up the torch and looked carefully at Li Jing and the other three. Feng Shuang felt familiar in his mind, but he couldn't remember it.

"Run, keep running! Why don't you run?" Xia Houshang laughed at Li Jing.

Li Jing and Feng Shuang looked around the vast crowd, made a defensive posture of drawing their swords in self-defense, and stared at the surrounding soldiers.Suddenly, there was a fight among the surrounding crowd. When Li Jing looked over there, it was Lu Zhi.

Seeing that they failed to lure away the pursuers, they went back the same way, but they didn't expect that Li Jing, Mother Xu and Fengshuang had already been surrounded. Lu Zhi drove a good horse and attacked the surrounded soldiers. A soldier was killed, and the surrounding soldiers waved their spears and attacked Lu Zhi together. Lu Zhi's long sword cut across the flying spears. In an instant, all the attacking spears were cut off by Lu Zhi. Zhi swung her long sword quickly, and then stabbed at the nearest armored soldier. The soldier couldn't dodge in time, and was pierced by Lu Zhi's sword.

"Stand back, the archers are ready!" Cheng Yu shouted, and the soldiers who besieged Lu Zhi retreated a few steps, and more than a hundred archers behind Cheng Yu prepared their bows and arrows to shoot at Lu Zhi. Zhi An couldn't scream well, in the dark night, it was really difficult for him to block the flying arrows.

Li Jing on the side was also worried about Lu Zhi. Just as Li Jing was distracted, Xu's mother suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, put it on her neck, and faced Cao Pi, Xia Houshang, and Cheng Jing who were on horseback. Yu shouted sharply: "Don't you just want me to go back with you? I can go back with you, but you must let these two girls and this knight go!" Mother Xu pointed to her side Li Jing, Fengshuang, and Lu Zhi on horseback.

"Old madam, don't be impulsive, put down the sword first, if you have something wrong, how can Jing go back and face Xu Junshi!"

Li Jing was at a loss for what to do, why did she let Xu's mother pull out a dagger just now without paying attention, Li Jing regretted it.

"Yes, old lady, don't be impulsive, we can rush out!" Lu Zhiqiang pretended to be calm, knowing that it was almost impossible to escape smoothly in this situation, but still put on an appearance that he could escape.

"Hahaha... It really didn't take much effort to get here. Who do I know? Hearing the voices of the two of you, I remembered that you are the traitors Qingfeng and Jinglei of the Shadow Assassin Group! "

"Hmph! Cao Pi, don't speak so harshly. What kind of traitor is this girl? I just can't understand your shadow organization killing civilians for no reason and quit voluntarily. What kind of traitor is it?" Lu Zhi on horseback drew his sword and pointed Cao Pi cursed.

"Shocking thunder, don't you show your quick tongue! As long as I give an order, ten thousand arrows will be fired. No matter how good your martial arts are, I still don't believe that you can last a few rounds in the dark night!" Cao Pi said proud face.

"Young master, we will talk about the traitors of the assassins in the future. At present, we must let Mother Xu return to Xudu safely. Only in this way will Xu Shu come to Xudu obediently. If we force Mother Xu to death today, Xu Shu It will definitely be a big trouble for the master in the future to assist Liu Bei with all his heart, so please think twice about which is more serious!" Cheng Yu on the side reminded Cao Pi.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Pi felt that Cheng Yuzhi's words were reasonable, so he respectfully said to Xu's mother, "Old Madam Xu, if you have something to say, say it well!"

"You are their leader? You can count on your words!" Mother Xu glanced at Cao Pi, then at Cheng Yu, furious, and scolded Cheng Yu, "Okay, I've been treating you as my concubine's friend all this time. I didn't expect you to be a liar, and you want to earn money from a concubine to come to Xudu, it's really hateful!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yu bowed his head and remained silent, Cao Pi Cao Pi smiled, and stretched out his fingers to Li Jing and Lu Zhi, Fengshuang.He opened his mouth and said, "Of course, as long as you put down your long sword and come back with me, I can let them go!"

"That's good! As long as you let them go, I will return to Xudu with you!"

"Old madam..." Li Jing hesitated to speak, but now she wanted Xu's mother to rescue her, because her swordsmanship was not proficient enough, and she was really powerless in the face of archers.

"Okay, two girls, I have taken your heart and soul into account. You two will go back and tell Shuer, asking him to kindly assist Uncle Liu Huang, and don't let your old age mess up your mind."

Mother Xu's eyes were full of anticipation, Li Jing nodded deeply after hearing this.Seeing Li Jing nodding, Xu's mother smiled gratifiedly, handed the package to Li Jing with one hand and said, "Girl, come here, there is a piece of clothing in this package, and you can bring it to my concubine so that he can think about it." .”

Li Jing slowly took the package from Mother Xu, her eyes were already moist.Slowly said: "Madam, don't worry! Jing will definitely bring it!"

Xu's mother ignored Li Jing, and suddenly shouted at Cao Pi: "Mr. Cao, since you are true to your word, you have not freed up two horses. I will only put down this dagger if I see them leave with my own eyes, otherwise I will die immediately." In front of you!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Madam, I agree to all your requests. You, and you, free up the horses!" After Xu's mother responded, Cao Pi directly ordered the two guards beside him.

Cao Pi's two personal guards led the horses to Li Jing and Fengshuang. Li Jing couldn't bear to glance at Xu's mother, and got up on the horse. He was extremely reluctant and said to Lu Zhi and Fengshuang: "Sister Zhi, Fengshuang, let's go!"

"Sister Jing, is it like this..." Lu Zhi was very unwilling.

"Go!" Li Jing roared.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!" Li Jing rode her horse in the direction of Xinye helplessly.

After Li Jing and the three of them rode their horses to the south for half an hour, Xu's mother slowly put down the dagger, but at this time she was so tired that she passed out, and Cao Pi had someone carry her back to Xudu overnight.

The three of Li Jing held the torches and ran towards Xinye for half an hour, and stopped in a lush forest. Li Jing used the torches to light the dry wood he had picked up. The three of them sat around the fire, and Li Jing Recalling Lu Zhi's several battles, he asked a little puzzled: "Sister Zhi, I remember that when you were in the thatched cottage, you alone beat off a hundred soldiers led by Zhang Yun, and you also scared away Cai Zhong and Cai He when you were in Xiangyang. 100 people, why today..."

"Hey! Sister Jing, you don't know. I didn't have any worries in the first two times, so I wasn't afraid. But in the dark night, my sense of direction is not very good, and the terrain is narrow, so it's not easy to use swordsmanship." , the most important point is that I am afraid that I will hurt Xu's mother during the fight, so I am worried! Sister Ruojing, you have mastered the No. 20 Changshan swordsmanship, and the three of us can deal with those two hundred soldiers It's barely possible, but he has archers and Xu's mother is present, so I have some scruples."

"Hey! I don't know what happened to the three of them now?" Li Jing asked about Fengshuang.

"Commander, this subordinate is really difficult to guess. Although they can repel dozens of people, it is still a bit difficult to face 50 people. I hope it's okay!" Feng Shuang looked worried.

"I hope it's okay!" Li Jing sighed.

The three of them were leaning against the bonfire, and while waiting anxiously, Li Jing fell asleep leaning against a big tree in a daze. The night in the middle of winter was extremely cold, so Li Jing had to light three fires to get close to the three of them, so as not to catch the wind and cold. Suffering from the cold, Li Jing stayed up until dawn, half asleep and half awake.

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Li Jing sneezed twice in a row, waking up Lu Zhi and Fengshuang who were still sleeping.

"Sister Jing, are you okay!" Lu Zhi yawned and stretched her waist.

"It's nothing serious! It may be that I caught a cold last night, so my nose is blocked." Li Jing's tone was only an understatement.

"Is it serious? Sister Jing!"

"It's okay, it's nothing serious, it's just a small matter, by the way, why haven't you seen the three of them come back, Fengshuang, do you have no other contact methods other than Feige passing on the letter?" Li Jing turned her head and asked Fengshuang.

Feng Shuang shook his head and said: "Commander, in the past, the contact was through Feige, but after so long, there is no Feige, it is very likely that the three of them have already been killed..."

"How could it be? No way! Their martial arts are pretty good, it shouldn't be that easy..." Li Jing questioned Feng Shuang's words.

"Commander, my subordinates see that the chances of the three of them surviving are very slim. There are as many as 50 people chasing them. Based on my understanding of their martial arts, they can only deal with ten people, so... "Feng Shuang sighed.

"How did this happen? It's all me, it's all caused by my self-willedness and blind self-confidence. I'm sorry for them, I..." Li Jing looked guilty and blamed herself.

"Sister Jing, don't say that. I told them to part ways in the first place. If I say I am responsible, it is my responsibility, not yours. Don't blame yourself too much. Maybe what Fengshuang said may not be right. Now There is no news, which means that they still have a chance to live, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we should go back quickly, I guess the emperor and the military adviser are waiting anxiously." Lu Zhi comforted Li Jing.

"Okay! Go back first, Fengshuang, if you have any news, let me know as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

After Li Jing returned to Xinye, she ran directly to Liu Bei's mansion. Liu Bei and Xu Shu in the hall were waiting eagerly. When they saw Li Jing and Lu Zhidi coming, they strode forward and asked, "You two girls, how are you doing?"

"Uncle Emperor, Military Advisor, the old lady was indeed put under house arrest by Cao Cao in Xudu. Jing originally wanted to rescue the old lady, but she didn't want Jing to be incompetent. Halfway through, Cheng Yu saw through sister Zhi's plan of 'escape the shell from the golden cicada'. I The four of them were surrounded by [-] elite Cao soldiers, but fortunately the old lady was about to kill herself with a dagger, so we escaped to death, Jing is ashamed of the military advisor, I'm sorry, military advisor!" Li Jing was so ashamed that she didn't dare to face Xu Shu.

After Xu Shu heard this, his heart was in a state of confusion, and he was in a mess. Liu Bei on the side said to Li Jing: "Doctor Li, originally Bei was just asking you to inquire about the news, and he didn't have any other requirements. Of course, the best thing is to save the old lady. Well, if you haven’t been rescued, you can’t blame you all, so don’t blame yourself.”

"Uncle, I..."

After Xu Shu panicked for a while, he slowly regained his senses. Seeing Li Jing's expression, he said to Li Jing and Lu Zhi: "The two girls have already informed the old mother. Will you blame the two girls? Don't do this to the two girls, otherwise I will be even more disturbed!"

"Thank you for your understanding, military division. By the way, the old lady gave this package to Jing before I left, and asked Jing to tell the military division not to think of her, and to help the uncle well." Li Jing took out the package in her arms and handed it over. To Xu Shu.

Xu Shu took the package, opened it and found that it was an old clothes, Xu Shu looked at the clothes, touched it with trembling hands over and over again, and murmured: "Unexpectedly, after so many years, Mother still remembers the clothes. The clothes my son wore before he left home." When Li Jing looked at Xu Shu, she found that Xu Shu's eyes were already covered with tears.

"My lord, I think about others when I see things, so I will go out and have a quiet time first!"

"Alright! Military division, you go out for a walk first!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Looking at the back of Xu Shu walking out of the hall, Li Jing felt more and more guilty. After all, she had made a fool of herself, thinking that the previous two trips to Xu could be turned back easily, but she didn't want to fail this time.Just as Li Jing was in a trance, Sun Qian in the hall quietly said to Liu Bei: "Master, from this point of view, it is difficult to keep the military master. He will definitely go to Xudu. The military master knows all the secrets of our army. It is better to kill him." The future has been eliminated!"

Although Sun Qian's voice was very low, Li Jing still listened carefully and was shocked. When she looked towards Liu Bei, she found that Liu Bei scolded Sun Qian: "Gongyou, you have followed Bei for many years. You should know that Bei is a man. Such words! If your mother is threatened by others, can you still say such words? Even if the military master leaves, Bei would rather die than this inhumane thing!"

Sun Qian remained silent and said no more.After hearing Liu Bei's words, Li Jing's tense heart relaxed.Not long after, Xu Shu returned to the hall and saluted Liu Bei: "My lord, my mother has been held by Cao Cao. Today I have to say goodbye to my lord."

Liu Bei was very reluctant to let go of Xu Shu. Every time he fought with Cao Cao, he was chased away by Cao Cao. Finally, Xu Shu came and won two battles in a row, but now he had to part with him. Feeling sad, Liu Bei looked at Xu Shuyan Said: "Although the military master is leaving, be prepared to carry a little thin wine to practice for the military master!"

"My lord, now that my mother is imprisoned, I can't swallow it even though it's full of fine nectar and jade dew."

"Duke Beiwen is about to go. If he loses his left and right hands, even if he loses his liver and phoenix marrow, he will not be able to swallow it!"

Liu Bei and Xu Shu wept at each other. After a while, Liu Bei, Sun Qian, Xu Shu, Li Jing, and Lu Zhi came to the long pavilion outside the city. Today, unfortunately, we parted ways halfway, and it is really because of my mother, even if Cao Cao forces me, I will never make a plan for the rest of my life."

Liu Bei replied: "Sir, since you are leaving, Bei should also escape to the mountains and forests."

"You can't do it, you are a hero. You have the appearance of a king and a domineering man. You can look for Gao Xian to assist you. Don't be discouraged!" Xu Shu advised.

Liu Bei sent Xu Shu off one way after another, all the way to the bank of the forest. They wept and said goodbye, while Liu Bei watched Xu Shu hurried away on horseback.Seeing the scene of Liu Bei and Xu Shu in front of her, Li Jing felt very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for her lack of knowledge, maybe she could really bring Xu's mother back, so that Xu Junshi wouldn't leave. For this reason, Li Jing blamed herself and blamed herself sad.

Liu Bei was looking at the back of Xu Shu going away, and suddenly saw Xu Shu patted his horse back, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and said to Xu Shu: "The military division has gone and returned, don't you have any intention of going?"

"A certain man was in a state of confusion just now, and his thoughts were confused, but he forgot an important matter. There is a strange man here, who lives in Longzhong, twenty miles outside Xiangyang City. He is from the capital of Langya Yang. Kong Ming, Liang young man avoided disaster in Jiangdong, and then followed his uncle Xuan. Because Xuan had an old relationship with Mr. Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, and because he went to rely on him, he lived in Xiangyang. Go and visit this person, if this person is willing to come out to help, why worry about the world being uncertain?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing this, and remembered what Sima Wei of Nanzhang had said to himself after Ma Yuetan River passed: Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can be safe in the world.Then he asked Xu Shu: "Sir, is this man a crouching dragon and a phoenix?"

"The crouching dragon is Zhuge Kongming, and the phoenix chick is Pangtong of Xiangyang."

"Today, I learned that 'the words of the crouching dragon and the phoenix, it turns out that the great sage is right in front of my eyes. If it wasn't for the words of my husband, I would be as blind as a blind man!"'"

"My lord, take care!"

"Sir, take care too!"

Watching Xu Shu pat the horse away, and hearing that Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, Li Jing just remembered that Lu Zhi and Zilong had stayed in that Longzhong, and Mr. Kong Ming had also visited her in the thatched cottage, but Zilong When I asked Mr. Kong Ming why he didn't come out to help, Mr. Kong Ming only said that the time had not come. Could it be that the time has come now?Li Jing thought to herself.

Everyone went back to the city, Fengshuang returned to the barracks and continued to serve as scouts, while Li Jing and Lu Zhi also returned to the mansion, Ziling saw the two came back, so she went to prepare some food for them, after Li Jing finished eating, After a short rest, he fell asleep without even taking off his coat.
