—187 A.D.——

Luoyang, Luoshui.

Liu Bei and Youzhou's "Baibo Taiping Army" had arrived only one step away from Luoyang, but they could not "act as planned".

For no other reason, Luoyang's situation at this time exceeded his prediction of the worst-case scenario.

According to the content of the "edict", the emperor at this time should be under the control of the ten permanent servants and the empress, and the courtiers must be dissatisfied with this situation, at that time they can rely on the teacher's face to gain the support of the courtiers, and the sword saint will not be the enemy of himself who has the edict, and then let the Baibo army raid the ten permanent servants, and he can take the opportunity to save the emperor.

But now, the Ten Standing Servants no longer exist? was beaten and disabled by the courtiers, and then took refuge in the queen? Lu Bu ran thousands of miles and killed from Liangzhou to Luoyang?

This is troublesome, this group of Bai Bo troops dared to storm the palace because they hated the Ten Standing Servants and wanted to kill them quickly, but let them confront Lu Bu? At the same time as the order is given, the soldiers will collapse.

Well...... The White Horse Yicong and the White Ear Soldiers should not, but those "Taiping Dao" are not possible.

In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to let them camp on the spot by Luoshui when Yang Feng and Mrs. Guo came to ask for advice, and waited and watched the changes.

What changes are you waiting for? It's about the Sword Master and Lu Bu separating the winners......

At this time, Liu Bei very much hoped that someone with enough wisdom would tell him "what to do", instead of looking at him with expectation and trust, waiting for him to make a decision.

This is not to say that Liu Bei thinks that he has no wisdom, if that is the case, it is impossible for Lu Zhi, as a contemporary Confucian, to accept him as a disciple, and he will not be able to open such a big scene in Youzhou.

For example, when passing by Julu before, Gao Ran reported that he found a person who tried to look through the "Clothes and Ribbon Edict", but was knocked out by the other party in a few moves, but that person did not take the Clothes and Ribbon Edict, and there were no related special incidents afterwards.

Liu Bei deduced at that time that Julu Taiping Dao already knew his origin, and those who joined this team out of "voluntariness" were not so voluntary, and further concluded that it was probably Zhao Yun, who had a close relationship with Taiping Dao, who knocked Gao Ran unconscious.

Therefore, after the purpose of deliberately placing the clothes and belts alone was achieved, Liu Bei put away the "clothes and belts" and turned to carry them with him.

Now is not the time to brag about himself, Liu Bei shook his head and looked at Luoyang and Luoshui in front of him.

"It is said that 'Luoshen' is the daughter of Fuxi, beautiful and intelligent, if she is here now, she may be able to answer my doubts at this time." Liu Bei said casually.

！！！

After this sentence came out, Liu Bei felt a strange experience from the "Bodhisattva wood carving" hanging around his neck, if he usually received the kindness of others, the wood carving would convey "warmth" to him, and now, this wood carving is taking the "warmth" away from him.

Since Liu Bei had been wearing the wood carving for many years, giving it enough trust, he was only a little surprised at the moment, "it would actually be recycled", instead of throwing it away in a panic.

This feeling of "extraction" continued until Liu Bei began to tremble involuntarily, and a white mist came out of his breath.

Then, he heard the sound of water like a rising tide, and then saw that the surface of Luoshui in front of him began to rotate and bulge, and in a very short period of time, a two-zhang high, sparkling, and crystal clear "waterspout" was formed.

Splashing Sand –

The "waterspout" disappeared in an instant, and in its original rotating position, a delicate, long golden hair, green eyes, about fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl appeared, she was wearing a pure white light armor with red edges, lined with red skirt armor, feet on the same white background and red edges, holding a red thin sword, the whole person was suspended on the water, and at this moment she was looking at Liu Bei with a slightly impatient expression:

"[Are you summoning 'Roselle'? 】”

————

The camp of the "White Wave Taiping Army" was slightly noisy as usual.

"I want to wear General Gao's clothes, who can imitate one?"

"Look, I've learned spells!"

"Beat Lu Bu, I can blow this thing in the underworld for five hundred years......

"You idiot! The posture is completely wrong! Didn't General Jun Yi take a hard look at the demonstration! ”

"Miss Xiahou hasn't burned General Zhang for a long time, is she sick?"

"Look, isn't that Liu Junshou? Did he fall into Luoshui? The whole person looks wet......"

Liu Bei naturally didn't fall into Luoshui, he was just splashed with water by "Luoshen".

Before, when the girl's posture of "Luoshen" appeared, Liu Bei learned from her mouth that it was the "power of faith" that he had spent several years to summon her from the "world of the dead" in the form of a "heroic spirit", originally, she could follow Liu Bei's actions for seven days, but because Liu Bei used qualifiers in the "summoning ceremony", she could only answer any questions he had on the spot, and would disappear directly after Liu Bei said "there are no other problems".

Liu Bei naturally would not let go of this opportunity, so he asked "Luoshen" about Luoyang's situation at this time, and how to break the situation, etc., and the girl also explained in detail and put forward several feasible plans.

Originally, this should have been an ordinary story of "meeting immortals", the fate of the beginning, the fate of the end, Liu Bei through this encounter to gain a huge political and military advantage, and so on.

But the problem is that when Liu Bei communicated with the "Luoshen", he was unexpectedly a little uneasy, her appearance, voice, intonation, the way she paused, the occasional small gesture of hooking her fingers and pulling her hair, and even the eyes that glared at her when she didn't understand for a while, all made Liu Bei feel extremely cordial - yes, the kind of cordiality that wanted to live with her.

So, after answering most of the questions, Liu Bei mustered up the courage to ask, "Is there any way to let you stay and be my wife?" ”

"[You disciple! The old lady is only three years old! After leaving this sentence, "Roselle" disappeared from the ground.

By the way, Liu Bei splashed water.

————

"Big brother? What's wrong with you? Throwing people into the river? ”

Zhang Fei asked with wide eyes when he saw Liu Bei walking into the tent where he was living wet.

Although it is not hit, it is not far away.

"It's nothing, it's just an accident," Liu Bei wouldn't explain to the third brother that he was actually a failed conversation: "Yide, you go and invite General Zhang He and General Gao Ran to discuss the matter, we have to act." ”

"Okay~" Zhang Fei didn't ask much, casually returned the rabbit to Xiahou Ji, who was sitting obediently on the side, and walked straight out of the tent: "I want to be idle with long mushrooms." ”

Wait a minute? Liu Bei couldn't stop it, and watched the little girl in the black dress who caught the rabbit show a dangerous smile at him.

"Sniff~" Xiahou Ji approached Liu Bei with a rabbit in her arms, circled twice, and her nose fluttered: "The smell of a certain fairy, although it will not entangle her husband, she is also very annoying." ”

Passing by is a word called "Roselle...... In a sense, she's right? Liu Bei was slightly surprised, and quickly recalled the things that Xiahou Ji had said about the "fairy world".

"Hmph~" Xiahou Ji lifted her rabbit: "Disappear~Zhang Yunhua~"

Doesn't that even have a name!

Liu Bei froze and didn't move, and then he saw that the ragdoll rabbit's whole body was burning with pitch-black flames, and its heat began to evaporate the water on its body.

He thought it was redundant, but soon found that his clothes contained more water than he had expected, and that they were enough to soak a dozen ordinary clothes by common sense.

"Hmph~" After Liu Bei's black clothes were completely dried, Xiahou Ji took back the rabbit: "It's okay if she wants to teach you a lesson, but she can't make her husband's tent wet." ”

"Big brother! I put two generals ...... Uh, sorry. Zhang Fei opened the curtain and found that the tent was full of mist gas.

"It's okay, it's not much different from those soldiers who tried the 'Water Spell'," Liu Bei dispelled some of the mist and found a place to sit down in the tent: "I just got some information, and I need a few people to cooperate." ”

"We originally came to assist Liu Junshou." Zhang He and Gao Ran followed Zhang Fei into the tent one after the other, Zhang He frowned slightly at the fog, while Gao Ran didn't care and even enjoyed it.

"As for the source of intelligence, it is inconvenient to explain it for the time being," Liu Bei said: "What can be known at present is that Liangzhou Lu Bu actually controls Luoyang, and the Liangzhou army is coming from the follow-up, and Qingzhou Cao Cao has also arrived at Bishui Pass. ”

"So...... Should we rescue the Emperor as soon as possible? Gao Ran said: "If you need to sneak in, it is incumbent on you." ”

"No, with the Sword Saint here, Lu Bu can't break through the West Garden for the time being, we should delay the arrival of the rest of the Liangzhou army at this time, so that Lu Bu doesn't dare to act rashly because of his lack of background." Liu Bei pointed to the West: "Even if he wants to do something by force, the rest of the vanguard generals will organize him." ”

"Go fight Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Fei scratched his head: "This difficulty is about the same, right?" But if you've already decided, big brother. ”

"Yide's courage is commendable, but his guess is wrong," Liu Bei said: "At this time, most of the generals of the Liangzhou Army followed Lu Bu as the vanguard, and half of Dong Zhuo's troops in this formation were 'Liangzhou Taiping Dao', if our 'Youzhou Taiping Dao' said that there was something to discuss, or even have the intention of surrendering, then Dong Zhuo would suspend the march anyway and prepare for a meeting between the two sides." ”

"And we took the opportunity to enter Luoyang to rescue the emperor," Gao Ran said, "Since we have the 'edict' in hand, the Sword Saint will cooperate with us to contain Lu Bu - this is a very good plan." ”

"Although it is not gorgeous enough, the 'Butterfly Wearing Flowers' is also beautiful~" Zhang He sighed for unknown reasons.

"In addition," Liu Bei said, "I have also learned that there is a wise man who is leaving Luoyang with his family to avoid chaos, and we should find an opportunity to 'invite' him in the course of the operation." ”

"Oh......" Zhang Fei asked, "Can you use a rope to 'please'?" ”

"I want to use fire~" Xiahou Ji held up the rabbit.

Don't make a mess!
