Chapter 8: Departure

"Brother Lu, where are we going now?" Zhang Jing looked at Lu Bu, who was silent all the way, and asked.

Lu Bu stopped his pace, pondered for a moment in place, and then replied: "You take your eldest brother to Nancy City now."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jing's heart couldn't help but get nervous, his head was lowered, and his expression was uncertain, not understanding why Lu Bu was so stubborn about the other party's heavenly halberd.

"Can you not go to Nancy City?" she looked up at Lu Bu, her eyes showed a look of pleading, although she could have glory and wealth when she returned to the Zhang family, she didn't want to go back, because she was afraid that Lu Bu would know the truth......

"Why don't you go to Nancy City?" Lu Buhu looked at Zhang Jing suspiciously.

Since the last time she proposed to go to Nancy City, her mood has been extremely unstable, which makes him secretly wonder in his heart: "Could it be that Zhang Jing's enemy is in Nancy City?"

Zhang Jing quickly ran his brain, and suddenly thought that Lu Bu must not have silver taels with him as a prisoner, so he hurriedly said: "Didn't Brother Lu go to Nancy City to make a square painting halberd, the problem is that we went to the blacksmith shop, and there were no silver taels to pay to others...!"

Lu Bu's calm face was suddenly full of sadness, and he said with a wry smile: "The little sister didn't talk about the silver taels, the eldest brother really forgot about it, so I don't know what the little sister thinks now?"

Zhang Jing was overjoyed, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "My little sister has a playmate when she was a child in Lieyang City, and her family is also a famous family, if my little sister goes to ask her for some silver taels, she won't refuse!"

Seeing that Lu Bu's face was a little moved, she continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Why don't we go to Burning Sun City, what does Brother Lu think?"

"Good!"

Halfway through his words, Lu Bu asked with a slightly hesitant expression: "Then I don't know how far Lieyang City is from here?"

Zhang Jing thought about it for a while, and then said: It takes about three days on foot, and it takes a day and a half to reach Lieyang City on horseback.

"It's a long way to go, it's better to forget about this matter!" Lu Bu hurriedly shook his head, if he went to Burning Sun City, then all these plans would fail, this was not what he wanted to see, and for this matter, he took great pains to break into the wolves to find Ma Lao Liu and others, in order to quickly establish his own power.

Zhang Jing finally relaxed her emotions, tensed her nerves again, and persuaded Lu Bu hard: "Little sister really doesn't understand, why is Brother Lu unwilling to go to Lieyang City?"

If you arrive in Burning Sun City, the little sister can ask Gu Yao to find a blacksmith master for you to build a Fang Tian painting halberd, wouldn't it be better?"

Lu Bu raised his head and looked directly at the blue sky, and then sighed: "You are actually the little sister of a certain family, and a certain family will not visit you if you are told that the eldest brother made Fang Tian to draw a halberd, just to ...... three days later!"

After a pause, his face showed helplessness, and then explained: "If the eldest brother wants to establish his own power, he can only start with bandits and robbers, so the eldest brother wants to subdue Ma Lao Liu and others, and the purpose is to compete for the ...... of the Black Tiger Cottage."

Although Zhang Jing had already guessed that it was not so simple for Lu Bu to subdue Ma Lao Liu, hearing what he said, she was still shocked in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she pleaded and said: "What if Ma Lao Liu and others set a trap and wait for Brother Lu to jump?

"Unless they don't want to live, Ma Lao Liu doesn't dare to deceive a certain family!" Lu Bu waved his hand, his face was disdainful, he was not afraid of a person like Ma Lao Liu who was ambitious and incapable, because he believed in his martial arts.

Seeing that Zhang Jing still wanted to persuade himself, Lu Bu directly interrupted: "Big brother knows your mind, so you don't need to persuade him, although the eldest brother doesn't have Fang Tian's halberd, and his martial arts will weaken a lot, but there should be no worries about his life when dealing with a black tiger cottage."

Zhang Jing lowered her head and was silent, she wanted to tell Lu Bu the truth, but she couldn't make up her mind......

Lu Bu walked up to Zhang Jinggen, touched her head, and said with a smile: "When a certain family is successful, I will help you take revenge."

Zhang Jing looked up at Lu Bu with a smile on his face, and there was an indescribable regret in his heart...... Unexpectedly, Lu Bu saved himself and comforted himself, and finally wanted to help himself avenge.

Her eyes couldn't help but get a little wet, and she quickly wiped the tears that were about to fall with her hands, and with a hesitant and frightened face, she took out a cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Lu Bu, and said with a reluctant smile: "Brother Lu insists on this, and the little sister doesn't force it, I just hope that Brother Lu won't blame the little sister for not taking out the silver taels just now."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's dark eyes took a deep look at Zhang Jing, then took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw that there were six gold sticks inside.

There was a hint of excitement on his face, but there were some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Where did you get this gold from?"

Zhang Jing also knew that Lu Bu would find out about the escape sooner or later, so he slowly spoke apologetically: "Please don't be angry, in fact, my little sister's parents are not dead, this is all made up by my little sister, just so that Brother Lu can take my little sister to a distant place, so that you can get rid of the ......constraints of your parents."

Lu Bu was silent when he heard this, and originally took Zhang Jing on the road with him, just to familiarize himself with this realm, but as time passed, he found that Zhang Jing and Cicada had some similar personalities, so he was very sympathetic to Zhang Jing's experience.

A strange atmosphere surrounded the two of them.

Zhang Jing looked at Lu Bu anxiously.

She was afraid that Lu Bu would leave, and then she wouldn't know where to go.

After a long time, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Jing with a calm face, and said in a flat and cold tone: "Your parents are actually alive, so don't follow a certain family."

Zhang Jingjiao's body trembled, and she was about to reach out to grab Lu Bu, but she was dodged by him.

She tried to speak, but Lu Bu shoved the gold into his hand, turned and ran away into the woods.

"Brother Lu, come back, little sister shouldn't lie to you!" Her clear eyes fell out one tear after another, but her feet chased after Lu Bu frantically.

She hated herself for why she lied to Lu Bu, if he didn't leave, there would be one more person who loved her in the Eternal Continent from now on, but all of this was destroyed by her own hands.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Jing stopped, and her delicate body couldn't help but sit on the ground paralyzed, as if the whole person had lost her soul.

"Brother Lu, you're back, ......."

Looking at the endless woods, her eyes stared blankly into the distance, and her face once again crossed clear and transparent tears.

No one responded, there was just silence.

Lu Bu hid behind a tree and listened to Zhang Jing's words of the six gods.

He was distraught.

He didn't know if this was right or wrong, but now he knew that Zhang Jing would never be able to replace Cicada and Ling'er, just because she deceived herself.
