Liu Bian's entourage marched along the official road to Jiangyi, but the team seemed extremely quiet, Liu Bian always bowed his head and was silent, everyone saw the same and followed Liu Bian's back, until the outline of the Jiangyi city wall appeared in front of him, Liu Bian silently raised his right hand, stopped the people who continued to move forward, and said: "Everyone be careful, pay attention to vigilance." ”

Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly hit his horse and came to Liu Wei's side, frowning and said, "There is something strange." ”

Liu Wei nodded, his eyes swept around, and said, "It's noon, but I haven't even seen a figure outside Jiangyi City, which is a bit unusual." ”

Zhang Xunshen nodded approvingly, and said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the minister thinks that he should choose a dangerous place to meet the enemy." ”

"You mean... Ambush nearby? Lei Wanchun asked.

When Zhang Xun heard this, he silently glanced at Liu Bian, the two nodded in unison, Liu Bian waved his hand to the people behind him, and said, "Slowly retreat, don't let the other party see our flaws." ”

Liu Wei and his party have too many flaws, Tang Ji, Li Ru, Yang Xiu, and the four maidservants who are responsible for taking care of Tang Ji's daily life are all powerless people, once they encounter an ambush, they will immediately become a burden to Liu Wei and others, and the sad thing is that Liu Wei can't watch them fend for themselves and sit idly by.

Tang Ji is Liu Bian's married couple, since the wedding, he has suffered a lot, such a good woman, how can Liu Bian let her fall into the hands of the enemy?

Li Ru is the chief mastermind under Dong Zhuo, and he has made great achievements in power schemes, and he can be regarded as a ready-made mature mastermind, Liu Wei needs to have such a talent who can be used immediately to give advice to himself.

In addition, Liu Wei also needs to use Li Ru's reputation to prove his identity to the world.

Not to mention Yang Xiu, his identity and status are all there, although Liu Wei has not found too many shining points from his body at present, but Yang Xiu's identity alone is enough to make Liu Wei look up to him.

At that time, Li Ru and Yang Xiu will endorse Liu Wei at the same time, which can also add a convincing force to his identity and legitimacy.

Liu Wei looked sideways at Nan Jiyun, who was guarding the side, and said, "Nanba, you must protect Tang Ji and the two gentlemen later, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave the three of them for half a step." ”

Liu Wei threw a meaningful look at Nan Jiyun, Nan Jiyun saw this, nodded silently, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as the ministers are still breathing, no one can hurt them in the slightest." ”

The reason why Liu Wei asked Nan Jiyun, who is excellent in martial arts, to protect Tang Ji and the others is mainly because he has superb archery skills, and at this critical juncture, no accidents must happen, with Nan Jiyun protecting him, Li Ru and Yang Xiu definitely don't dare to have other thoughts.

The group slowly retreated along the official road until they reached a dense forest before slowly stopping.

This is a forest path with bushes several feet high, and if you want to enter the dense forest, this is the only way to go.

At this very moment.

Suddenly, there was a roar like thunder in the distance.

Liu Wei silently looked down at his feet, and found that the gravel on the ground seemed to have been suddenly given life, and there was a rhythmic tremor with this roar.

Liu Wei didn't dare to have the slightest delay, and hurriedly instructed Yuwen Chengdu and Lei Wanchun to park the carriage loaded with goods in front of the road, acting as a horse rejection, and then turned to look at Tang Ji and the others who were temporarily placed behind the horse rejection array, and said; "If you see that you can't do anything, you can retreat first, find a hidden place to avoid the edge for a while, and when I am out of danger, I will go to meet you and others."

When Tang Ji heard this, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, but she saw her looking at Liu Wei with teary eyes, and said, "Why don't you go with me?" It's not too late to avoid the edge for a while, and then make another plan. ”

"Since I was born, I have suffered a lot of white eyes, my father said that I was frivolous and had no dignity, and even moved the idea of abolishing the establishment for this, and my mother and uncle also treated me as a child, and never let me get in touch with political affairs, not to mention the Dong thief, I tolerated everywhere, but in exchange for getting an inch again and again."

Liu Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around to look at the empty official road, laughed miserably, and said: "Actually, I have no way to retreat, in the past, I was surrounded by traitors and powerful ministers, and now, I am surrounded by friends and brothers. ”

Liu Wei's eyes became more and more firm, and he continued: "I have been swallowing my anger for fifteen years, and now I can't retreat, if I choose to retreat without a fight every time I face danger, then from now on, I am afraid that I will completely lose the courage to take a step forward." ”

"The king waits, the minister will help you."

Nan Jiyun roared, jumped out of the horse rejection formation, and stood up in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was slightly stunned, and looked sideways in the direction of Tang Ji, but saw Li Ru and Yang Xiu looking at him with a wry smile, while Tang Ji, who had always been gentle and delicate, was holding a sword and was responsible for guarding Li Ru and Yang Xiu, who were tied to the tree with their backhands.

"If Your Majesty dies, the concubine will not be able to survive in the world, and she will have a companion on the Huangquan Road in the future." Tang Ji held the sword in his hand and made a few gestures in front of Li Ru and Yang Xiu, so frightened that the two of them turned their heads again and again to dodge.

Li Ru tried his best to dodge Tang Ji's sword wielding indiscriminately, and at the same time tried his best to stabilize Tang Ji's excitement, and said: "I don't want the queen to have such a strong side, admire, admire." ”

When Yang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "The sword has no eyes, Niang Niang must be careful, don't hurt your body." ”

Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said: "Wen You and the two are tied up here, forgive them for their wings, and the concubine doesn't need to worry." ”

Hearing this, Tang Ji's mood gradually stabilized, she slowly put down her sword, and looked sideways at the approaching cavalry team, her eyes full of worry that could not be concealed.

Liu Wei pointed his gun at the leader of the other party, looked sideways at Li Ru, and said, "Wen You, do you know this person?" ”

When Li Ru heard this, he looked at the man's body for a long time, and said: "The person who came is Hua Xiong, a fierce general under the command of Xiangguo, this person has excellent martial arts and is good at commanding cavalry battles. ”

When Yang Xiu heard this, he blinked in confusion and said in his heart, "What's the situation?" You're scared of death, aren't you? The queen just took the sword and made a few casual gestures, and you did it all? ”

Liu Wei glanced at Li Ru deeply, then nodded silently, and said, "This is a good start, I hope Wen You can keep it up." ”

Li Ru sighed helplessly, then silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Liu Wei looked sideways at Yuwen Chengdu on the side and said, "Huaxiong will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

"No."

Yuwen Chengdu licked his chapped lips excitedly, and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will take the head of this thief and present it to Your Majesty." ”

"I and Lei Wanchun are charging in front, and Nanba is holding a bow in the rear to sweep the formation for us."

"No."

Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun nodded in unison.

Liu Wei looked at Zhang Xun and Chai Shao, who were eager to try, and said, "You two just need to take care of the car here." ”
