Early October.

It rained continuously.

The march was greatly hampered by continuous heavy rain.

Arriving in Julu County, the two teams met head-on in the pouring rain.

There are mounds on both sides of the road, and the road is in the middle. It is blocked in the middle of the road.

The two parties were vigilant and observed each other in the rain.

From the crowded side, an officer with a helmet came out. The officer took a look and saw that there were only two riders on the opposite side. The soldier holding the flag behind him fell down. On the flag was a big banner with Liu characters. I don't know.

There are people and horses. The person in the lead is riding a black horse, with a leopard head and eyes, naked upper body, wet clothes on his shoulders, and a snake spear on his shoulder, looking fierce.

But seeing that this black man didn't have a yellow scarf on his head, he couldn't decide whether he was a thief or not.

While the officers and soldiers stood on horseback to watch, the big man with a leopard head and ringed eyes also looked at the opposite side curiously.

Seeing the costumes of this team, the black man's eyes suddenly lit up. Good guys, look at this team. The current group of knights are all wearing fish scale armor. There are red back feathers on the back of the armor, like wings, and there are

Long feathers, tall and swaying.

This team is weird.

Look at the big flag held by this group of troops. There is a blue dragon and a red bird on the flag, but there is no name, so you can't tell whose soldiers and horses they belong to.

After a stalemate for a while, the officer couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed his whip in his hand and said, "No, guys, don't block the road. We have something important to do. Give way!"

Zhang Fei became angry when he heard this. He stabbed the ground with a snake spear that was eight feet long in his hand. He blocked his horse in the road and shouted loudly, "Humph! Where did the birdman come from! Do you have something important? Your grandfather is in a hurry to go there."

If you ask for the Yellow Turban, you must make way for me!"

The officers were furious and almost drew their swords to fight.

The officers and soldiers were arrogant, Zhang Fei had a bad temper, and would not concede much, so the two sides blocked the road and were in a stalemate.

The rain was pouring down and the thunder was rolling.

The clatter of horse hooves broke the deadlock.

"Hey~" Liu Bei, who came in the rain, reined in the reins, "Yide, what's going on ahead?" Liu Bei shouted.

"Brother, a bunch of birdmen came from nowhere and blocked my way. It's so annoying!" Zhang Fei scolded angrily.

At this time, Liu Bei also noticed that a group of men and horses opposite him were dressed in luxurious and unusual clothes.

Having some calculation in his heart, Liu Bei rode his horse and said, "Yide, give way, don't make things difficult for us."

When Liu Bei spoke, Zhang Fei snorted coldly, stopped arguing with the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and moved out of the way.

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were very shameless. Because Liu Bei, his sworn brother, Zhang Fei, was blocking the road, he hugged his fists on his horse as an apology. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side didn't even return the greeting, and didn't even look at Liu Bei who was standing by the road specifically to give way.

"Let's go!" The officer and general waved his whip and told the team to move forward.

——

Seeing the official cavalry passing in front of him, Liu Bei had the same feeling as Zhang Fei. This group of men and horses had armor with feathers on their backs and long feathers on their chests. The horses were also tall horses of the same color and looked noble.

Liu Bei was confused and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "May I ask this general, who are you in the chaos of Julu's army? Where do you want to go? If we are on the same road, I can still look after you."

The officer reined in his horse, glanced at Liu Bei on the side of the road, and said casually, "We will escort the guilty minister Lu Zhi back according to the imperial order. There is no need to see him off." After saying that, he stepped forward.

There was a thunder in the sky.

Liu Bei, who immediately sat upright, shrank his pupils and was suddenly startled.

After being stunned for a long time, Liu Bei was awakened by the gurgling sound of the heavy prison car.

The rain curtain fell, and there was a person locked in the prison car passing by. This person's wrists were locked with iron chains, and his head was exposed. His hair was disheveled and shapeless due to the rain. He couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Liu Bei's heart trembled, his eyes burned, and he hurriedly drove his horse to stop the prison car. Regardless of the officers and soldiers' scolding, Liu Bei got off his horse and came to the prison car. He raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this Master Lu in the car?"

On the prison car, a head stuck on the prison car shook. The man in the car was using his hands to peel off the loose hair with difficulty.

A weak and pale voice sounded, "Who...cough, who called me?"

After many years, he heard a familiar voice again, and it was indeed Master Lu. Tears filled Liu Bei's eyes, and he knelt down in the mud with a plop, "Master Lu, how could he be in such a situation!" Liu Bei said in a sad voice, "The student has come too late!

"

After saying this, Liu Bei shouted angrily, "Yide, lead the troops! Stop this group!"

"Take your orders!" Zhang Fei shouted and rode off.

The incident occurred suddenly, and when the officers and soldiers reacted, Liu Bei had already drawn his male and female swords and split open the prison car with his two swords.

The officers and soldiers were still coming to harass him. Liu Bei's eyes were red, and he smashed and slashed with his sword in one round, breaking many spear heads.

Losing the restraints of the prison car, the prisoner's frail and sick body was exhausted and he almost fell out of the prison car.

A strong big hand supported the prisoner and carefully carried the prisoner behind his back. "Teacher, let's go." Liu Bei picked up the prisoner and left.

There were officers and soldiers in front holding guns and swords to block him. Liu Bei turned a blind eye to the swords and guns in front of him and ran straight into them. However, the officers and soldiers were knocked away in shock and did not dare to actually hurt anyone with swords and guns.

After a while, Guan and Zhang came with their troops.

In the heavy rain, they met Liu Bei who was carrying people back through the rain.

At this time, the prisoner was carried away from the prison car in a daze. The prisoner had not yet understood what had happened and was at a loss.

"Yiyi, who are you? Why did you smash my prison car?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but stop. After a dull moment, he said, "Master Lu, follow me back to the camp."

The army team was intercepted and all the troops were detained by Guan and Zhang.

——

At this time, in the heavy rain, the rear army, Li Mengxi, suddenly heard the shouts of the cavalry in front, saying that they would camp on the spot.

Li Mengxi didn't think so. He just thought it was raining too much and it would be okay to stop and rest.

In the large tent of the Chinese army that was hurriedly set up on the road, a thick cloak was draped over Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi, who was shivering from the cold, felt a ray of warmth.

Lu Zhi looked again at the man who knelt down in the tent and called him teacher.

Lu Zhi was extremely confused. He didn't recognize the person in front of him.

Liu Bei was like a child at this time, with a smile on his face and a cheerful tone, "Master Lu, do you still remember the students? This is Liu Bei from Zhuo County, whose courtesy name is Xuande. More than ten years ago, he studied under Master Lu for several months..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Oh, Lu Zhi suddenly remembered it and asked quickly, "Could it be Liu Xuande who studied with Gongsun Zan?"

Liu Bei smiled broadly and said, "It's just a student."

When teachers and students met in this awkward situation, they all wanted to talk, but after the greetings, they didn't know what to say.

After a while of silence, Lu Zhi suddenly saw Liu Bei still kneeling on the ground and said quickly, "Xuande, get up quickly, get up quickly, don't kneel anymore."

Liu Bei received the order from his master and stood up, then sat down a few steps lower and sat down.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei for a long time, and finally saw that the person in front of him had extremely big ears, and his eyebrows and eyes vaguely looked like he had when he was a teenager.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that he was a young man back then and was now a burly adult. Thinking that time had changed and he was now over fifty and imprisoned in a prison car.

"Alas!" I don't know where the words came from. When they reached his lips, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh.

Liu Bei had so many words in his heart that he didn't dare to ask. At this moment, seeing the teacher's desolate look, Liu Bei finally couldn't help it and asked anxiously, "If the students hadn't bumped into me, I don't know when we, teachers and students, would see each other again.

It’s impressive to see the teacher’s situation... The student dared to ask, why is Master Lu like this?"

"Pah!" Lu Zhi punched the short table angrily when he mentioned the past.

Lu Zhi laughed angrily, "The imperial court ordered me to conquer the Yellow Turbans. I led the troops and fought hard for more than two months. I was about to encircle the Yellow Turbans and finally succeeded in one battle."

The imperial court sent Zuo Feng to investigate the military situation. Then Zuo Feng asked me for money. How did I get the money from him? What a bastard!...Ahem..."

Speaking of shortness of breath, Lu Zhi coughed repeatedly, causing his body to tremble.

When Liu Bei saw this, he hurriedly came over and carefully patted Lu Zhi on the back. He was respectful and touching.

"Xuande," Lu Zhi, who thought of all the grievances and could no longer pretend to be in front of his own people, had a sore nose and burst into tears, "Oh, I miss you, Lu. I have to work hard every day to fight against thieves, but the imperial court

He believed the traitor Zuo Feng's words and said that my campaign was unfavorable, stripped me of military power, and wanted to hold me accountable."

Lu Zhi wiped away tears, "..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't know what to say to persuade him, so he could only sigh.

——

It was raining heavily outside, and Li Mengxi didn't want to go out, so Guan Yu came to knock on the car window despite the rain.

"Xi'er, are there any eggs left?"

Guan Yu asked.

"Yes, how much do you want?" Li Mengxi was stunned.

"As much as you want," Guan Yu said.

Li Mengxi got out of the car and went to get eggs for Guan Yu.

The eggs were placed in a basket at the back of the car. The basket was covered with wheat straw, and an unknown number of eggs were placed in the wheat straw.
