Chapter 25: Losing His Wife and Losing His Soldiers (1)

Hearing Sun Shangxiang's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party would be so direct.

Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang met before the Battle of Chibi. At that time, he visited Sun Quan to discuss the alliance between the two families, and met Sun Quan's sister, Sun Shangxiang, there.

And when he saw Sun Shangxiang for the first time, he decided that he must marry this woman in this life.

Later, he and Sun Shangxiang met a few times in private, and the two can be said to be concubines and concubines, and they have already made a private agreement for life.

Liu Bei originally thought that after the Battle of Chibi, he would come to the door to propose marriage to the Sun family and officially marry her, but he never thought that the other party would come to him and directly recognize him as his husband.

Happiness came so suddenly, which made Liu Bei a little embarrassed.

He thought about it and was about to speak, but Sun Shangxiang punched him again, interrupting his words about to speak.

"It's really strange that you're a person! I found out that Zhou Yu sent Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to kill your military advisor, so I sent my Xiaoji maid to deliver a message to you.

As a result, you took my letter, didn't hurry back to Jiangxia, and even sent the rest of the soldiers out, don't you want to die? ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei was not angry, he just shook his head and replied seriously: "Even if I send out all the 10,000 soldiers, just rely on Lu Su and a few of them, and I can't help it." Besides, isn't it still you? ”

Hearing this, even if she had a straightforward personality like Sun Shangxiang, she couldn't stand it, and she hammered Liu Bei a few times with her powder fist, until the big man was still in pain, and then stopped.

The two were relatively speechless, and for a long time, they burst into tears and laughed.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the two turned their heads to look and found that hundreds of elite cavalry had stopped in front of them.

It's just strange that when the two saw these cavalrymen, they were not surprised, let alone afraid, but silently watched as one of the leaders turned over and dismounted and walked in front of them.

"Report to the lord, Na Lu Su really hit the plan, he led people to chase the two horses you released, and he has gone far."

The one who spoke was a heroic woman with a spear in her hand.

And this cavalry unit is Sun Shangxiang's private soldier - the Xiaoji maid who is composed of all women.

It was this private soldier who reported to Liu Bei before, but I didn't expect that they had been lying in ambush nearby, monitoring Lu Su's every move.

Hearing the report of her subordinates, Sun Shangxiang nodded with satisfaction, she took over two new war horses from the hands of Xiao Ji's maid, handed the reins of one of the horses to Liu Bei's hand, and said: "Husband, since Zhou Yu has sent Lu Su here again, he must be ready to turn his face." We must return to Jiangxia as soon as possible, and we can protect ourselves with soldiers in hand. ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he asked with some disbelief: "Shang Xiang, are you...... Are you willing to go to Jiangxia with me? ”

"You are the husband I recognize, I love you, then I will naturally go back with you." Sun Shangxiang nodded and said generously.

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed lightly: "Alas, it's a pity that in Jiangxia next, I will see sword soldiers, and the conditions are difficult, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you." ”

"Hmph."

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang chuckled, turned over cleanly on the horse, took off the longbow on his back, and said loudly,

"Husband, don't underestimate me, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, with my kung fu, what is this sword soldier afraid of? If that Cao thief dares to come to attack my Jiangxia, then you have to ask me if I agree to this bow in my hand! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed, walked to the side of the war horse, and said, "It's a pity that the enemy we have to face may not be just Cao Cao...... If Zhou Yu and I tear our faces, I'm afraid that your brother will also be our enemy...... If so, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the parents to live, and the words of the matchmaker ......"

Sun Shangxiang listened, smiled heartily, and said: "Since you and I are in love, why do you need the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker?" Don't worry, I don't want anything else, you just need to carry a sedan chair and marry me. ”

After speaking, Sun Shangxiang no longer said anything to Liu Bei, she waved her hand, beckoned Xiaoji's maids to follow, and then patted the horse and left.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's dashing back, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.

He didn't dwell on it any longer, just rolled over and followed.

The two of them took hundreds of servants and maids, and soon returned to the place where they had left, and Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't see the corpses of his hundred guards.

He knew that if Lu Su wanted to kill his guards, then it would definitely be impossible to take them away and kill them again.

Since there are no corpses here, it means that they have only been taken away, and there is no fear for their lives for the time being.

As Shang Xiang said, at present, only by returning to Jiangxia safely and holding heavy troops can he have the bargaining chips to ensure that these guards of his are not dead.

Thinking so, Liu Bei planned to continue to follow the plan and take a roundabout route back to Jiangxia, however, at the moment when he was about to ride his horse, countless feathered arrows with fire actually attacked them directly!

“???”

Seeing this sudden rain of arrows, Liu Bei, who had been in a hundred battles, was the first to react, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pulled out the male and female double-strand swords, and launched his life and soul ability, Zhaolie Rende.

[Soul Ability: Martyr's Virtue]

[Life Soul Effect: It can consume energy and greatly increase the attributes of people other than yourself, including but not limited to enhancing strength, speed, endurance, defense, etc.] 】

Liu Bei used this ability to cover everyone behind him, so that their defense was greatly improved, ensuring that even if they were hit by feather arrows, they would not suffer much damage.

However, one of the major drawbacks to the soul-in-life effect of this soul-life ability is that it can only enhance the abilities of people other than himself, not himself.

In this case, even if Liu Bei's [Zhaolie Rende] could help everyone else block this feather arrow in the sky, he would be buried under this rain of arrows.

Knowing this, Sun Shangxiang was suddenly shocked, and she hurriedly stretched her bow and wanted to shoot.

However, in the face of the rain of arrows, even if her archery skills are amazing, how many arrows can she knock out? After all, it won't help.

Sun Shangxiang reacted to this after shooting a few arrows in succession, and she immediately prepared to abandon her horse, rushed to her husband, and used her body to block the arrow rain for him.

However, before she could make a move, she saw Liu Bei make a move first, he dismounted sideways, and then found a dead end, so he hid under the horse's belly.

With the dazzling golden light emitted by his male and female double-stranded swords, the body of the war horse was also suddenly glorious, and the originally brown war horse turned into a golden horse alive, and under the action of [Zhaolie Rende], it turned into an impregnable fortress.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shangxiang was relieved.

It turns out that the person he likes is not the kind of indiscriminate person who only dedicates himself to others and completely ignores himself, he has his own way to protect everything in this world.

Thinking so, she commanded Xiaoji's maids to learn Liu Bei's movements, and soon, everyone hid under the belly of the horse.

Countless arrows rained down on the horseback, and Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang, and the hundreds of servants and maids who followed them, none of them were injured.

Even the horses, with only a few fur wounds, neighed a few times in dissatisfaction, and became a little irritable.

This danger of the rain of arrows finally passed smoothly, and the only thing they sacrificed was the power consumed by Liu Bei when he used the life soul ability.

"Husband, are you okay?" Seeing that there was no more arrow rain coming, Sun Shangxiang rushed to Liu Bei's side and asked.

At this time, Liu Bei was already extremely weak, and when he heard this, he just waved his hand and did not speak.

He then looked up and looked in the direction of the rain of arrows not far away.

In that direction, thousands of archers drew their bows without firing, and then, a man and a horse slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, facing the sun, she squinted her eyes and looked closely.

Then she found out that the person sitting on the horse turned out to be Lu Su!
