Chapter 329: Saving People (I)
Three days have passed since the Hongmen Banquet incident, but the impact of the incident is still fermenting.
In the large camp of the coalition army, there were two arguments on the arrest of Liu Bei and others. One is to advocate releasing Liu Bei and the three of them and solving the problem peacefully. The other is actually advocating killing people and seizing treasures!
And it is obvious that under the leadership of Yuan Shao, there are obviously more people who support the second approach than the first! Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, the silence on this matter is the best proof of this!
……
In the dark and damp cage, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were wrapped in bloody bandages, their hands and feet were full of locks, and they were lying on the ground with a weak breath.
I saw Liu Bei's eyelids move suddenly, and then he opened his eyes in a trance.
There was a roof covered with fungus, and he only felt that his hands and feet were heavy, and there was an extremely strong force in his body that suppressed his internal force, and there was a cold and damp feeling behind him.
Struggling to sit up, after seeing the environment he was in, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This Yuan Shao is really wealthy and looks up to me, and he actually gave me a full ten thousand locks. He's trying to make me unable to use any internal strength! ”
used all his strength to soar the combat power index, but found that he could only use a meagre 3,000 points of strength.
Liu Bei resolutely gave up his plan to forcibly break the lock like Lu Bu. I checked my injuries and took off the bandages, but I found that there were only some hemostatic drugs on it, not even a little healing medicine.
Thanks to his thunderous powers, he can recover his injuries even without the help of medicine. After an internal examination, it was found that except for a little internal injury that had not recovered, the rest of his injuries were basically better!
So Liu Bei turned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's side, and took out the healing medicine from the storage space and gave them a dose.
"Humph! Yuan Shao, I'm afraid you can't imagine that there is such a thing as storage space on me! You want to threaten me with my life, but I'm afraid that you will be smart and mistaken! ”
Cautiously poking his head out to observe the movement around him, he found that he seemed to be in a secret room. Although he was imprisoned in a cage, the space around him was extremely limited and empty.
"It seems that Yuan Shao is hiding us! But it's okay like this, no one else is there, so I can just use this to heal the second and third brothers. ”
After making up his mind, Liu Bei immediately mobilized his extremely "limited" internal force to accelerate the volatilization of the medicinal power in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's body.
Two hours later, Liu Bei was lying on the ground like a dead dog and couldn't get up. And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were beside him, still closed his eyes, and there was no sign of waking up!
Seeing that he had worked hard for a long time but had no results, Liu Bei couldn't help but want to scold the street. But at that moment, they heard footsteps approaching them.
Liu Bei immediately pretended to be unconscious and listened to the movement outside.
saw the door of the secret room open, and two doctors in white coats walked in to check on Liu Bei and the others.
After checking with a stethoscope, blood pressure monitor, etc., it was confirmed that Liu Bei and the others were still in a coma and that there was no life-threatening danger, and the two doctors immediately got up and left.
And the moment the door of the secret room closed, Liu Bei heard the two doctors reporting to someone in a trance.
"The patient is not in danger of life for the time being, but it is unknown when he will wake up."
"But the lord can't wait, the army is about to leave, and he needs to wake those three people up immediately! You'd better hurry up and find a way for me, or you will know the master's methods. If you don't want to have an accident, you feel like you're doing what you're told! ”
Immediately after that, I heard a panicked sound, and I heard the sound of a fight outside. After everything returned to calm, he heard the door of the secret room open again, and Liu Bei felt that someone had groped in front of him, and then gently pushed himself.
"Liu Bei, hey, Liu Bei! Wake up, wake up! ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Bei immediately sat up excitedly and said, "Ma Chao! What are you doing here? ”
"Oh, I'll go!"
Ma Chao, who was dressed in a mask, was startled by Liu Bei's sudden up, and immediately covered his heart and said, "You want to scare me to death?" Please prepare me before you get up next time!
Also, you don't care how I drove it. Most of the guards outside were lured away by me, and I knocked out the guards at the door. But this won't last long, so you hurry up and take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to leave here with me! ”
It's just that Liu Bei didn't move, but said with a serious face: "Ma Chao, I can't go." Yuan Shao, no one will let me go! If he finds out that I have escaped, he will definitely investigate the entire coalition camp, and not only me, but you may also be implicated.
And I'm so weak now, with these shackles, I can't go very far. Not to mention bringing my second and third brothers! ”
And just as the two of them were talking, they heard a noise outside, and it was obvious that someone had come to check on the situation.
Liu Bei knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately hurried up and said: "Ma Chao, listen, with your combat strength and body, it is not difficult to deal with those guards outside." But you'll only be able to escape with a maximum of two people. So you hurry up and leave with my second and third brothers, and you don't have to worry about me! ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao hesitated. Looking at Zhang Fei on the side, he wasn't sure if he wanted to save him.
"Then I can also take you and Guan Yu away, and there shouldn't be any problem with leaving Zhang Fei, a guy with rough skin and thick flesh!"
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, the person Yuan Shao hates is me." He won't venture to search the tents of your leaders until he sees that I'm not fleeing, or he'll search me on a rampage.
That's why I'm here to keep you safe! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and leave with the two of them! Remember, as long as no one finds out where you are, then just take them to your father's tent and you'll be safe! ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he hurried at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was helpless, picked up Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took a deep look at Liu Bei, and then immediately dodged away.
Soon after they left, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. Liu Bei knew that the main owner was coming, and pretended to be unconscious again.
The door of the secret room opened again, and Yuan Shao's roaring voice sounded.
"Damn! What do you all eat? Let you guard the three of you can't stand it, what use do I want you to have? ”
The guards around him shut up one by one and didn't dare to speak, and saw Yuan Shao immediately come to Liu Bei, and after finding that he had not been rescued, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Humph! Liu Bei, it seems that you are not so important in the hearts of your brothers! Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all rescued, but you were the only one who stayed! ”
"Someone!"
With Yuan Shao's loud roar, a doctor immediately walked up to his entrance.
"Go wake this guy up for me, I'm going to talk to him about it. I can't help but look at his deflated expression! ”
After receiving the order, the doctor immediately took out a needle and stabbed it in Liu Bei's neck. The latter immediately felt his blood boiling all over his body, and his mind immediately became extremely clear. I couldn't help but open my eyes directly!
"Huh! Liu Bei, you have finally come to your senses! Well, you don't regret going against me now?
If you hadn't refused to accede to my request, why would you have fallen to such a point? ”
Liu Bei struggled to stand up and looked at him proudly, his eyes full of disdain.
"Yuan Shao, you are just a coward with a lot of people. If it weren't for the fact that my hands and feet were bound by you with so many don't locks, would you dare to stand in front of me like this?
After all, it's you who are afraid of me! What if you catch me? Even if I die, it will be a nightmare you will never forget! ”
"Shut up!"
Yuan Shao angrily pulled Liu Bei's collar and looked directly into his eyes.
"You are a barbarian in a remote place, what qualifications do you have to teach me? Don't forget, you're my captive now. So you need to listen to my arrangement in everything, or my way is to torture you! ”
Pushing Liu Bei to the ground, Yuan Shao said in a cold tone: "Hurry up and tell me, where are all your demon-slaying treasures?" Why haven't I found a single treasure on you? ”
"Haha~! You're still fighting my treasure idea! Do you think I'm going to tell you? Yuan Shao, don't dream. As I said, if you want to get my things, you can't do it in your life! ”
"Ah~!"
Yuan Shao angrily gave Liu Bei a kick and hit Liu Bei directly in the chest where he was injured, and the latter was immediately kicked into the corner and spat blood.
Immediately followed up and grabbed Liu Bei's neck, Yuan Shao said viciously: "Don't think I dare not kill you!" I warn you, you'd better tell me where your treasures are, or I'll have a way to make your life worse than death! ”
The trachea was blocked, and Liu Bei blushed and said, "Then you can do it." I, Liu Bei, have never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if you have the ability, you will kill me, otherwise you won't get anything! ”
"Good, good! I'm going to see how hard you can get in the mouth. Come, give me a great punishment. As long as you don't kill anyone, the rest is up to you! But make sure you get the answers I want to know, or I'll see them all! ”
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he walked away with a huff. Immediately, someone dragged Liu Bei to the torture room next to the cage, tied his hands and feet, and after a while, Liu Bei's screams were heard from it.
On the other side, Ma Chao, after rushing out of the secret room with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the left and right, carefully spared the patrolling soldiers all the way according to the point he had stepped on before, and came directly to Ma Teng's big tent.
"Father, I've rescued you. It's just that something went wrong, and Liu Bei didn't come out with me. ”
Ma Chao immediately said Liu Bei's words like this, and Ma Teng suddenly sighed: "What a good young man who values love and righteousness!" It's a good choice for you to make friends with this person. It's a pity that he fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, I'm afraid it's more than lucky! ”
Ma Chao said a little gloomily: "Is there no other way?" Although Yuan Shao is the commander of the first army, it is impossible for one family to dominate in this coalition army. Father, can't you unite with others to put pressure on him? ”
Ma Teng shook his head and said, "You think too simply! They are the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, and their influence is all over the entire school alliance.
Most of the coalition forces are towards him, and his purpose in arresting Liu Bei is for the sake of the future of the coalition army. So even if I can get a few helpers, I'm afraid it won't help!
What we can do now may be to save the two of them and send them out of the coalition camp! ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao's face suddenly fell. Although he has not been in contact with Liu Bei for a long time, the emotion of life and death between him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei has deeply infected him.
Thinking that they were originally here to help their people get through the difficulties, but because of the greed of Yuan Shao and others, Ma Chao felt a burst of self-blame in his heart.
And that's why he went to save people! His conscience would not allow him to die without help.
And his decision was also supported by Ma Teng, because he didn't like Yuan Shao's approach either. It's just that because they belong to the same front, they can't do it openly, so they can only let Ma Chao investigate secretly.
It's just that Ma Chao finally found the place where Liu Bei and them were detained, but in the end he couldn't rescue them all.
And just when Ma Chao blamed himself, he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had just been placed by him, slowly woke up.
Seeing the unfamiliar environment around him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still kept the picture of the previous battle in their minds, and couldn't help but sit up vigilantly immediately.
After seeing Ma Chao in front of him clearly, Zhang Fei immediately wondered: "Meng Qi! Why are you here? And where is this, my eldest brother? ”
As Zhang Fei became sober, a series of questions hit Ma Chao like a series of cannons.
It's just that Ma Chao's expression is a little dignified, and he doesn't know whether to tell Liu Bei's affairs and discernment.
And seeing that Ma Chao's expression was wrong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly had a bad premonition. Ignoring the chains on their bodies, the two of them immediately grabbed Ma Chao's hand and asked Liu Bei about his situation.
Zhang Fei couldn't even help but say the worst.
"My eldest brother~, he can't be dead, right?"
Ma Chao shook his head: "That's not true, but it's estimated that it's going to be fast now!" ”
Seeing that Ma Chao couldn't bear to say it directly, Ma Teng on the side decided to be the bad guy himself. So Liu Bei gave up his chance to escape and asked Ma Chao to save the two of them.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly burst into tears, ignoring the injuries on their bodies that had just improved, the two of them immediately summoned their respective blades and cut off the ten thousand locks on each other's bodies.
After restoring the combat power index, he immediately prepared to rush out of the camp to find Yuan Shao's important person.
It's just that Ma Teng took the first step in front of them and said, "What do you two want to do?" Now there are people sent by Yuan Shao to arrest you outside, do you want to go out and die with such a swagger?
Don't forget, there are tens of thousands of troops in the coalition camp, and it is impossible for the two of you to rescue Liu Bei. Do you want Liu Bei's hard work to be in vain? ”
It's just that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei obviously couldn't listen to him, and yelled angrily: "Get out of the way!" Big brother sacrificed himself to save us, and we also sacrificed our lives to save big brother! ”
Hearing the words of the two, Ma Teng couldn't help but think of the same enthusiasm and the same morality when he was young. Merely~!!
Guan Yu Zhang Fei's move deeply infected Ma Teng, so he decided to do his best to help them.
"Don't worry, you two, maybe I have a way to help you rescue Liu Bei! So put away my weapons now and hide them in peace. I'll take care of the rest! ”
