The black-robed man looked at Xiao Yu'er on horseback and shook his head frequently, "I'm really powerless, the apprentices I taught, one is more disobedient than the other, first you, the junior sister who defected to the master, and then your useless senior brother, I sent him to look for you, but the person didn't find it, and he lost an arm." ”

Xiao Yu'er's expression suddenly became nervous, and she hurriedly dismounted and shouted in a low voice.

"Don't be in a hurry to call me Master first, you can tell me first how your senior brother's arm was broken." The black-robed man took off the cloak on his head, revealing a hideous face.

It was a mask, a fiery red mask, a mask that made Xiao Yu'er shudder.

Since she was a child, she and her senior brother Ding Zhan have never seen the true face of the master, since the two of them were sensible, the master was wearing a mask in her memory.

There are three types of masks, black, white, and red.

These three masks represent the different emotions of the Master, they have never seen the Master's face, and the Master has always spoken in a low and hoarse manner, only from the difference in the masks, can they tell whether the Master was happy or angry at that time.

Black means that everything is fine, as long as they see the master wearing a black mask, the two of them will not be punished too severely if they do anything out of the ordinary.

If the Master is wearing a white mask, then they have to be honest, because once they anger the Master, they will have to think about it for at least ten days.

And that red mask has always been Xiao Yu'er's most terrifying memory since she was a child, because once she wears that red mask, it means that the master will not only become moody, but also kill people unscrupulously.

The first time Xiao Yu'er saw a dead person, and the first time she saw the red mask, was when she was four years old.

That day, she and Master were walking on the road one after the other, and a woodcutter who had come back from going up the mountain to chop wood did not offend them in any way, did not even say a word, did not look at them, and fell to the side of the road without saying a word.

Four-year-old Xiao Yu'er was dumbfounded, the ground was full of blood, and the master's hands were also full of blood.

Recalling that day, Xiao Yu'er only remembered that the woodcutter's blood, like the master's mask, was a suffocating red.

Later, when Xiao Yuer grew up, she realized that the red mask was far more terrifying than she imagined.

Master had a habit of killing at least one person as long as he put on that red mask and before taking it off.

No matter who that person is, even if it is an innocent woman, child, old or young, as long as the master kills together, he will immediately be in a different place.

This red mask, intertwined with Xiao Yu's terrifying memories of childhood, has become the biggest fear in her heart.

However, today, right in front of me, at this moment that determines whether the Tianji Battalion can save Pang Tong, seeing this red mask again, how can it not make Xiao Yu'er frightened?

Looking at Xiao Yu'er, who was trembling, the black-robed man still said in that calm tone: "I haven't killed anyone today, I just saw that kid, and suddenly my hands itched." ”

Above the city, there was a person standing, dressed in a green shirt and holding a white folding fan, looking at Liu Bei's military camp in the distance.

The people of Shu know that Liu Zhang has two clever strategists under his account, one is Zhang Song, who was the then Yizhou driver, and the other is this Fa Zheng and Fa is filial.

In terms of fame, Fa Zheng is not as good as the flamboyant Yizhou, but if the two of them are equal, it seems that they underestimate this Fa Xiaozhi.

Speaking of Fazheng's ability, in the army of Yizhou, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a captain leading the army, all of them are convinced.

Fa Zheng's ability to arrange troops is much more clever than Zhang Song, but when he starts to do things, it is always a little unpredictable.

At present, these defenders of Luocheng don't understand why it was he who strongly suggested welcoming Liu Bei into Sichuan at the beginning, and now he is the one who orders to defend Luocheng.

This inconsistent move made these defenders of Yucheng not sleep for several days, and I heard that Liu Bei's generals were all good at fighting, so if this battle could not be fought, it was best not to fight.

But when it came to this matter, Fa Zheng only left one sentence, this battle must be fought.

As the highest-ranking Yizhou engaged in the defenders of Luocheng, Zhang Ren stood behind Fa Zheng and asked cautiously, "Sir, when will the attack begin?" ”

Fa Zheng turned around slowly, and a hint of a feminine smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, "I'm just a small strategist, why should the general be so polite?" ”

Zhang Ren's face was uncertain for a while, but he didn't dare to answer.

Fa Zheng shook the folding fan in his hand and said softly: "Is the general still struggling with whether to fight this battle?" ”

Zhang Ren hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers have been discussing this matter recently, but they are afraid of ......"

"Afraid of what?" Fa Zheng brushed the hair of his sideburns with his hand, "I'm afraid that it's the general's heart that he doesn't want to fight this battle the most, right?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Ren didn't make a sound, Fa Zheng stepped forward and said slowly: "Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is a foregone conclusion, it is easy to invite you in, but it is difficult to send it away." I, like the general, sooner or later have to find an official position under Liu Bei's account. That's why this battle has to be fought, and the harder it is fought, the better. ”

"Since you and I will have to submit to Liu Bei sooner or later, why do you have to meet with him at this time?" Zhang Ren finally couldn't help but ask.

Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows lightly, covered his face with a folding fan and smiled, "The general is a smart man, why did he make a mistake at this time?" Liu Bei's subordinates, there are many talents, there are sleeping dragons and phoenixes, and martial arts are about Yu Zhang Fei, if we don't seize this opportunity to show it, and when Liu Bei's original cronies control important positions in Yizhou, I am afraid that you and I will have no chance to come out in the future. As for me, I am a civil official, and I can only make a fuss when welcoming Liu Bei into Sichuan, but the general is different, and the current battle of defending the city is a great opportunity for the general to become famous in a battle, I advise the general, but you must grasp it well. ”

Zhang Ren's face was happy, and he said yes again and again, but after thinking about it, he frowned again, "Mr. just said that the more ruthless this battle is, the better, but I don't know, how ruthless it will be?" ”

Fa Zheng put away the folding fan and pointed in the direction of Liu Bei's military camp in the distance, "This point, I have already planned for the general, this battle should not kill too many people, so as not to cause Liu Beijun's sergeant to resentment against the general." But if they don't kill people, they outsiders will inevitably look down on the general. Therefore, in this battle, the general must be taken by surprise and smash Huanglong. ”

Zhang Ren thought for a long time, hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Ren is dull, please make it clear to Mr." ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "It's very simple, the general only needs to find a hidden terrain to ambush halfway, and when Liu Bei's army comes closer, shoot the person at the front of their team with all his might." ”

Zhang Ren was shocked when he heard this, "If Liu Bei is shot by mistake, what should I do?" ”
