The next day, the three parties set out on the road together, Xu Ji, Liu Bei and Chen Deng took the lead, chatting and laughing in front, and Chen Zhi and others followed closely behind.

Looking at the three people in front of him laughing and laughing, Chen Zhi in the back sighed in his heart, if people who don't know the details see this scene, they still think that the three of them have been friends for many years, who would have thought that the three of them have their own ghosts and look like gods?

The only one who is not with everyone is Cao Bao, this person has been inch-inch-free next to a carriage, without asking, it is Cao Bao's beautiful daughter who is sitting in this carriage, this woman is Tao Qian's guarantee to keep his position in Xuzhou, and Cao Bao's pearl, how can there be no reason not to protect it strictly?

Since it was not a march to fight, everyone was moving slowly with the attitude of playing in the mountains and rivers, and Xu Ji even hoped that Cao Cao's envoy would catch up from behind, so that he would have a good show.

However, when they saw the hungry people passing along the way, everyone sighed, and Xu Ji remembered Cao Cao's "Artemisia Journey". The disasters caused by war are too great, but human beings have enjoyed it for thousands of years, and it can only be attributed to the inferior nature of human beings, which is of course the driving force behind human progress.

Such a day will soon pass, and when evening is approaching, Liu Bei sends experienced soldiers in the field camping to the front to inquire about whether there is a suitable place to camp for everyone to rest tonight.

Xu Ji saw that Liu Bei's soldiers were careless when they agreed, and knew that this person didn't take Liu Bei's order seriously at all, thinking that nothing would happen. Turning back to Wen Ping, he understood. After calling a few people to whisper a few words, these people nodded again and again when they heard this. Then retreat into the crowd, unnoticed. But it disappeared, and Xu Ji was very proud of this skill, feeling that the hard work he had spent on the Phantom Elite over the years had not been in vain.

After a short time, the soldiers sent by Liu Bei had returned, and told everyone that there was an open flat land not far in front of them suitable for camping, Liu Bei nodded, so he marched towards the open space under the leadership of the soldier. Xu Ji is certainly no exception.

However, what Xu Ji cared about was that the soldiers he sent did not come back, which only proved that something must have been discovered by these boys. But Xu Ji didn't worry about what would happen to these kids, because these kids were not only very skilled. And the mind is flexible, especially good at detecting and hiding techniques, even if they encounter danger, they have a way to deal with it, so not coming back so far can only show one thing, that is, there is a situation ahead.

Not long after, Xu Ji and the others had already come to that open space, and it was indeed a very suitable place to camp, and Liu Bei was very happy to see it. He praised the man. Turning his head to ask Xu Ji and Chen Deng to choose a place to set up camp, Xu Ji chose a place close to the dense forest as the location of his camp.

Xu Ji exchanged a few words with them, made an appointment to eat together at dinner, and then took Chen Zhi and the others back to their Chinese army tent.

I sat down. Xu Ji said to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, you tell the soldiers to be more prepared in order to deal with emergencies." ”

Wen Ping is the meaning of knowing the Tao of Xu Ji. said yes, and turned to leave the account.

Wen hired before leaving. The soldiers who were sent by the civil appointment hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and fell to the ground.

Xu Ji ordered them to get up. looked at one of them, and found that this person looked very similar to Le Jin, but he was much taller than Le Jin, and he was also extremely energetic, and said with a smile: "Who are you Le Jin?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The lord is really good eyesight, and the villain is the younger brother of General Le Jin, named Le Yi." ”

Xu Ji nodded and said, "Why did you go here for so long?" ”

Le Yi organized the language for a while, and said to Xu Ji: "Report to the lord, after I waited for a few people to follow the soldiers sent by General Liu Bei here, the soldiers took a few looks, felt that this place was good, and left, but we found that there were traces of people being cleaned here, indicating that someone had camped here not long ago, and it would definitely not be two hours." We just thought it was strange and went to investigate, and we found traces of horses' hooves not far away. ”

Chen Zhi, who was on the side, said loudly: "Horseshoe? ”

Le Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "We looked at the depth of the horse's hooves and found that these war horses were very lightweight, and judging by the size of the horses' hooves, they seemed to be horses. ”

And state horses? Xu Ji and Chen Zhi exchanged glances with Yu Ban, feeling that things were very strange, Chen Zhi couldn't help but say: "Lord, is it possible that the party is too flamboyant?" ”

Xu Ji nodded, this kind of thing is very likely, this Zhang Yang has one thing the same as Chen Deng, that is, the grass on the wall, both sides are upside down, but Zhang Yang does not have Chen Deng's vision and strategy, let alone the ability to control his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled and said, "Is this the result of your reconnaissance?" ”

Le Yi shook his head and said: "We are not sure whether the other party is Zhang Yang or not, because we touched the matter of the other party's camp, there is a 'Zhang' word written on the banner there, but there is no mark, and those soldiers who enter and leave have no armor, they look like a group of bandits." But there are quite a few people, 20,000 or 30,000 people. ”

Xu Ji nodded, interrogated a few more words, and saw that there was nothing more to ask, so he ordered Leyi to go down.

Wen Ping had also entered the big tent at this time and sat down.

Chen Zhi asked in a deep voice, "Lord, do you think these people are coming at us?" ”

Before Xu Ji could speak, Yu Ban said: "I think this matter is easy, anyway, it's a group of people dressed as bandits, lord, let's just send troops to eliminate them?" ”

Chen Zhi glanced at Yu Ban and said: "This matter is not so simple, because what is the other party has not yet figured out, just by dressing up, we will define them as bandits, obviously wrong, and if they are bandits, what are they doing here?" Don't forget that they set up tents, where is this the behavior of bandits? Wen Zedon't forget that I have done this kind of business of robbing houses and houses! ”

Yu Ban smiled and said, "How is that the same? But I understand what General Shu Zhi meant. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Uncle Zhi is right, our attitude depends on the identity of these people, if he is the enemy of our enemy. That's our friend, the kind of person who will help us do things that we can't do if we want to. ”

Yu Ban looked at Xu Ji in a daze. I don't know what Lu Dao's unfathomable lord is thinking, but according to his experience. Yu Ban felt that it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky again.

Chen Zhi and Wen Ping couldn't think of what Xu Ji was thinking about for a while.

Of course, Xu Ji couldn't say it clearly, if it was possible, he wanted to use the hands of this unknown army to eliminate Liu Bei, looking at the three people with confused faces, Xu Ji smiled and said: "Actually, it is also possible to say that this person is too guarded by the party, because this Zhang Yang likes to be a bandit." And his party Taishou was also sealed by himself. Obviously, the party is too guarded by others, but this Zhang Yang learned from the bandits to rob the county. Therefore, it is possible that the people dressed as these bandits in front of them are flamboyant. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "The lord is reasonable. Isn't he the one who wants to go to Chang'an to meet the saint this time? Maybe it's flamboyant. ”

Yu Ban said in a deep voice: "I don't understand why Zhang Yang has such a move this time, you must know that this Zhang Yang has always been Yuan Shao's person." Why did you respond to the call of the Lord this time? ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "This is the wrong text, you are living the belly of the villain with the heart of a gentleman, Zhang Yang is a two-headed snake at all, whoever is stronger, Zhang Yang will throw it at whom." There was nothing surprising about that. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "If you talk about it, this Zhang Yang should be the subordinate of the late Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan." Presumably, with Lu Bu and that Zhang Liao, they should be old friends. ”

Xu Ji snorted lightly and said: "That's right, Zhang Yang's eyesight is extremely poor, and he doesn't understand the situation in the world at all. It's just that he instinctively eats behind the strong, and when the princes meet the alliance, Zhang Yang went to Yuan Shao when he saw Yuan Shao's strength, and now when he sees my Xu Ji's strength, he will respond to my call. But it's not just about protecting himself, he still wants to make some profits. ”

After a pause, he said: "Since this Zhang Yang has a relationship with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, it is reasonable to want to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an through Lu Bu and Zhang Liao." ”

Chen Zhi and the others nodded involuntarily when they heard this.

"Still." Xu Ji changed his words and said: "This is just our wishful thinking, whether the other party is publicized or not is still a question." Therefore, we need to be prepared with both hands. After a pause, he said, "Don't you think it's strange? According to Leyi, those horseshoe prints never last more than two hours. You must know that it was very late two hours ago, since this is obviously an excellent place to set up camp. Why do they have to change places? And there are traces of someone cleaning here, which is clearly trying to hide something. It seems that he wants to avoid us, so he gave us this place, and it seems that the other party has some knowledge of our marching route. If the leader of that group is really too guarded by the party, he has no reason to do so, unless this Zhang Yang wants to be a robber again. So I don't think it's going to be too peaceful tonight, whether it's publicized or not. In fact, in Xu Ji's heart, he had already decided that this group of people was definitely not public. So what is their purpose? However, it is certain that these people will attack these envoys.

Wen Ping had already understood the meaning of their words at this time, and said with a smile: "I see how about transferring our men and horses out of the camp?" Only a few men were left to bluff in the camp. ”

Chen Zhi looked at Xu Ji and said with a smile: "I said why did the lord choose a place close to the dense forest as a place for us to set up camp, it turns out that the lord has already prepared. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "You have also seen that these people have different intentions when they go to Chang'an this time, at least Liu Bei wants to do the same thing as us, if they let them go to Chang'an safely, it is simply to make trouble for ourselves, right?" It would be a good thing to take this opportunity to weaken them. Chen Zhi and the others laughed. At this time, they hoped that the group was going to these envoys to Chang'an.

Xu Ji stood up and said indifferently: "It's nothing, after dark, we only left five hundred brothers in the camp, and the rest of the people were moved into the dense forest from behind the camp tent close to the dense forest." He turned his head and looked at the three of them: "Uncle Zhi, the three of you have 1,500 brothers each, give me the opportunity to act, Zhongye, you had better take people to the end of this dense forest, if there is an incident, you will intercept me from behind, and Shu Zhi and Wen Ze will ambush on both wings." With that, he stood up and walked out of the tent.

Yu Ban was stunned and said, "Lord, where are you going again?" Xu Jitou didn't reply, opened the curtain and said, "Of course I'm going to have dinner with them." Otherwise, if there is an incident, I am not with them. Isn't that a clear plan for them? I'd better deal with it. The words looked helpless, which caused the three of them to laugh.

When Xu Ji came to Chen Deng's Chinese army tent. I found myself the last one to come. When they saw him coming, they all stood up and greeted him.

Chen Deng said with a smile: "General Le is late, and he will be punished with three cups later." The crowd was in an uproar. Liu Bei looked behind Xu Ji and said strangely, "Why don't you see General Chen Zhi and the others?" ”

Xu Ji said casually: "They have already eaten, so they won't come." ”

Chen Deng said: "How can this be? Even if it's dinner, you can come and sit with me for a while. "Then send someone to find it.

Xu Ji stopped Chen Deng's behavior and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen Deng doesn't need to send someone to go, my lord's command has always been strictly military. And the division of labor is clear, General Chen Zhi went with me to Chang'an this time, his official position is half a level smaller than mine, but it is not under my jurisdiction, if my safety is threatened, he will do his best to protect it, but the daily military operations are responsible for himself, and the diet and daily life have their own unique set, if General Chen Zhi does not want to come. There's no way around that. Although Xu Ji was deceiving the people in front of him, this remark was the truth, and Chen Deng had no choice but to give up when he heard this.

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes flashed. Turning his head to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he saw a look of horror in the eyes of the two of them, obviously he didn't expect that the army under Xu Ji's command would be disciplined to such an extent. No wonder it can be invincible.

Cao Bao noticed that Xu Ji was carrying the bag diagonally behind his back, and said strangely: "What is Lord Lejin carrying behind his back?" Xu Ji looked at Cao Bao when he heard this. Unexpectedly, he saw a young girl sitting next to Cao Bao, Xu Ji only glanced at it. I was amazed in my heart, I didn't expect to see such a stunning world in this barren mountain range.

This girl would never be more than sixteen years old, petite and delicate, graceful in shape, but very well developed, with a bulging breast, though not large, but firm and attractive, with an incredibly slender waist, a face that was extremely delicate, a noble expression, and a touching temperament, and her skin was flawless at a distance, and it was like a baby. Rao Yi Xu Ji, who is used to seeing beauties like Yining, Mrs. Zhang, and Zhen Mi, can't help but feel amazing.

This is Cao Bao's daughter, right? I'm really pitiful! It seems that it can be done. Xu Ji secretly praised in his heart, turned his head to Cao Bao and smiled: "General Cao asked a good question." After that, he took down the bag behind him and opened it in front of everyone, but he didn't see a look of surprise in the eyes of Cao Bao's daughter.

Everyone was curious, and they gathered around to see, it turned out that there was a silver-white spear inside, but it was divided into two parts at the moment and placed in a bag.

Xu Ji's hand magically hooked, somehow, the spear had arrived, Xu Ji's hands were closed, and the silver light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, only to find that the two spears had been combined together.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces became solemn, because they had already seen that the martial arts of this Lejin in front of them were only not weak, and maybe they were not below the two of them. Especially that technique, there is a sense of elegance that is difficult for the two to achieve. Although I have never heard that this Lejin's martial arts are very high, but looking at his handwork, it can be inferred that this person's methods are really not simple.

Of course, Xu Ji's martial arts are actually like that, and the fact that this hand can be played so beautifully is also thanks to Chen Zhi's training, and this weapon is actually a spare weapon that Chen Zhi usually inserts on his horse, but this time it was borrowed by Xu Ji.

And Liu Bei's face when he saw this scene also changed, but Chen Deng next to him was attracted by the fantasy color of the spear in Xu Ji's hand, and his eyes showed obsession. Cao Bao himself also likes to collect weapons, especially the treasures in weapons, and now after seeing the spear in Xu Ji's hand, the greed in his eyes flashed.

Cao Bao's daughter looked at Xu Ji in a daze, only felt that the Angzang man in front of him who was quite literati was very different from others, and when other men saw her, they couldn't help but show the light of animal desire, and they couldn't help but strip her clothes immediately, and press her down on the bed to vent, but the man in front of him was different, he just went to patrol his body with an admiring gaze, without any other meaning, which made people feel good, and he was still so comfortable to be seen by a man for the first time in his life. And it gives birth to the pride that comes from being appreciated.

Xu Ji said with a smile: "I love spears in my life, and I have always been spears, but unfortunately the spears are too long, and it is too troublesome to hold in my hands

I can't put it down, and I take it with me wherever I go. Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Fei is a great expert in using spears, and seeing that the shape of this spear is so harmonious and comfortable from a distance, he couldn't help but step forward and said loudly: "Can you show me?" Xu Ji smiled and put the spear in Zhang Fei's hand, after Zhang Fei took it, he only felt that the spear sank in his hand, it seemed that the weight was on par with his Zhangba snake spear, but it was much thinner than his Zhangba snake spear. Apparently made with some special materials. Zhang Fei's eyes burst into brilliance and said, "Good spear!" As soon as these words came out, even Guan Yu couldn't help but come forward to watch.

Chen Deng saw that the situation was a little chaotic, so he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, since General Lejin is here, then let's have a banquet." Only then did everyone react. They all returned to their seats and began to push and change their glasses.

Xu Ji was chatting and laughing with others on the surface, without the slightest abnormality, but in his heart he was expecting the group of unknown people to come to rob the camp at night. Then you will understand some truths for yourself.

I really want to know who they are. (To be continued......)
