The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

The news that Lu Bu abandoned his official position and ran away has not reached Hangu Pass yet.

The guards at Hangu Pass saw a jade snow horse in the distance, with a tall and mighty young general sitting on it. Even if the other party did not have the two well-known pheasant tail feathers on his crown, how could he not recognize it!

Although they didn't understand why Lu Da Sima in Xianyang City wanted to leave the prison alone, but facing such a powerful person who could even storm into the king's palace, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Before people reach the gate, they will automatically and consciously let the door open and let them go happily.

Lu Bu, who had always been feeling inexplicably depressed, couldn't help but twitch his lips and frown when he saw this scene.

——There are all stupid soldiers under the stupid emperor, but they don’t know what vigilance is!

The general left the border without any reason, why didn't he even ask a question?

If someone really has bad intentions in the future and betrays Chu and goes out of seclusion, how can the safety of Xianyang City be guaranteed if we just relax like this!

Lu Bu thought about this and became more and more dissatisfied. He couldn't help but raise his head and glare at the guards on the wall.

Even though they were far away, the scorching eyes and stern and unkind face still made the latter tremble.

Their movements could not be faster, so why did they still annoy Lu Da Sima?

They were completely puzzled, and Lu Bu didn't know where the evil fire in his belly came from, so he lowered his face and rushed out of the pass in a menacing manner.

Although the jade lion can travel thousands of miles in a day, it rarely has the opportunity to really spread its hooves and run until it is exhausted.

It doesn't know the complicated situation, let alone the subtle state of mind of the person on its back. It just goes out to fight as usual, galloping like flying, leaping like a dragon, and being as happy and comfortable as a wild horse.

So the ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Bu traveled westward and smoothly left Guanzhong, passed through Luoyang, crossed Hanoi, passed through Waihuang, passed through Xiayi, passed through Pengcheng... and arrived in front of Xiapi City.

Lu Bu, who had been absent-minded until now, was slightly touched.

This Xiapi was definitely not the other Xiapi he was familiar with.

There was no such thing as Lu Fengxian, who was able to dominate for a while, and there was no evil-minded traitor Cao Cao who could cause flooding disaster...

Xiapi City hundreds of years ago was obviously very lucky. It was not affected much by the continuous wars, but it was bustling with people coming and going.

Lu Bu quietly looked at the crowded city gate, a dark light flowing in his eyes.

He recalled how he had boasted and showed off his high spirits to Gao Shun and Chen Gong when he first took possession of this city;

He thought of the raging smoke outside and the precarious situation in Xiapi. He was worried about this but could not do anything about it;

He also thought of the hungry people all over the place, the hesitant and fearful faces of the soldiers, and the anxious wives and concubines chattering...

However, looking around, there are only strangers.

Looking at the people living and working in peace and contentment, he felt a hundred kinds of feelings surge in his heart, which eventually turned into confusion with nowhere to go.

He failed to give the people of Xiapi a stable life, but he did.

The turmoil in the world that he was unable to put down at the beginning, and the princes who were unable to suppress it, rose up together, and the fool also did it.

Only a trace of his lonely soul that vaguely came from hundreds of years ago is left. Now there is no way to defeat him. He doesn't know where to go or where to go!

After a long while, Lu Bu murmured quietly, finally turned his horse's head and left calmly.

After ten days of galloping around the clock, Lu Bu could bear it, but the Jade Lion couldn't bear it anymore.

It was still alive and kicking a few days ago, but now it is exhausted.

After leaving Xiapi City, the horse did not go very far. No matter how Lu Bu urged it, it remained motionless, pretending to be bent down and chewing grass roots.

Lu Bu urged it several times, but when he saw that it couldn't move any more, he changed his mind.

He was not willing to enter Pi City then, but the nearby Huaiyin City would not be in the way.

Wait, Huaiyin?

Lu Bu frowned.

Somehow, this place seemed familiar to him.

After thinking expressionlessly for a moment, Lu Bu suddenly slapped his thigh and finally thought about it!

Huaiyin City—isn't it the place where his cheap old man suffered the humiliation of getting into his crotch?

As soon as this memory surfaced, the confusion in Lu Bu's eyes was instantly wiped away, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

If he hadn't remembered it, the fool Han Xin had suffered such humiliation and then returned to his hometown in glory after gaining power, but he didn't cut his former enemy into pieces so that he could let go of the evil spirit that he had been holding back for so many years.

Instead, he was taken advantage of and made the turtle grandson a high official!

He narrowed his tiger eyes and thought for a long time.

What exactly he figured out, no one knows.

But after making up his mind, Lu Bu slightly curved his lips, revealing a cruel smile full of malice.

But he said that Zhen Er was named Er because he had an older brother.

Different from his flamboyant style, which is domineering in the countryside and the villagers are more or less afraid of him, Zhen Da, an outsider, is an honest and honest person who relies on farming to support his family.

It's just that in recent years, wars have been catastrophic, and there is no peaceful land for farming. So the family's food, drink, and money all fell on Zhen Er, who beat gamblers and drunkards into obedience. It was hard to be arrogant to him. Make a fuss and point fingers.

Now that the world is finally settled, Zhen Da may be able to pick up the farming business, but he can't help but give a few words of discipline to his brother who has not finished his meal.

However, Zhen Er is used to being arrogant and domineering, and with his big muscles, round waist, and fierce face, he can be called upon by hundreds of people in Huaiyin City.

, those troublesome ruffians all bowed to him.

Now this elder brother is cowardly and timid, but he is asked to grovel too, how can he listen patiently!

So there was another disagreement that day. He slammed the door in anger and went to the market.

Seeing Zhen Er's gloomy face, his minions didn't dare to say anything indiscriminately to avoid getting into trouble.

Only the restaurants he passed by were unlucky: usually they only needed to spend a small amount of money to ward off disasters, but now even the customers were so frightened by this rogue leader that they ran away, and none of them dared to speak out in anger.

When Zhen Er was upset, a brother suddenly came to talk to him. He was holding a shiny gold leaf with excellent color in his hand: Second brother, look at this! There is a fat sheep coming to you. Looking for you to do big business!

Although Zhen Er claims to have seen a lot of things in the world, where has he ever left Huaiyin City? When I first saw the gold leaves with such exquisite craftsmanship, I was immediately stunned and snatched them away.

He squinted and looked at it carefully in the sunlight for a long time, reluctant to bite it with his teeth, but just by looking at the exquisite appearance, he could tell whether it was real or not.

He suppressed the greed in his heart and urged: Where did it come from?

Seeing that his mood improved, all his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told the reason.

It turned out that there was a horse dealer outside the city who traveled outside the customs all year round. On the way, he was robbed by bandits roaming nearby. Not only were all the hired laborers killed, but all the goods were also lost.

Now he wanted to re-hire laborers to follow him out of customs and sell horses. When he went to the nearby Huaiyin City and inquired about it, he learned Zhen Er's name.

Zhen Er carefully held the gold leaf in his hand. After a while, he reluctantly looked away: This thing...how much can that person get?

The man saw that he was tall and he was riding a very good horse, so he must have been paid a lot. The man thought about it carefully for a while and said firmly: And when he took out this piece of gold leaf, it accidentally revealed The scene inside the baggage is so golden!

Anyway, there are many of them, but the other party is just a solitary person... Even though he has extraordinary magnanimity and is fighting for his power, he is not afraid of being ruined.

If they really disagreed one day, even if they killed that person and robbed all their property, no one in the world would know about it.

Zhen Er naturally thought of this.

He no longer hesitated, grabbed the man and urged, Hurry up and lead the way!

When Zhen Er first heard the phrase a man is tall and a horse is big, he actually didn't agree with it.

He is seven feet long. Although he is not exceptionally tall, he is strong and tall, and he is always very proud of it.

What's the use of being taller?

I think that Han Xin, who had the same name as the recently famous General Han, but had no blood and could even endure humiliation, was eight feet long!

There were more than a dozen gangsters in Zhen Er's group, all of whom were good bullies and arrogant masters of the villagers. They were immediately avoided by passers-by on the road.

Seeing everyone dodging, Zhen Er and his party became even more proud. They swaggeringly nodded to the guards they knew, said hello, and went straight out of the city.

Following the direction guided by his subordinates, he saw an extraordinary, snow-white horse not far away.

Even Zhen Er, who knew nothing about the merits of horses, could tell at a glance that this horse was definitely a rare good horse in the world!

Although there was no one on the horse, and it was unknown where the merchant who wanted to hire them for this long journey had gone, but just by looking at the appearance of the white horse, Zhen Er was convinced of the story he just said.

Everyone is here?

While Zhen Ershang was staring at the horse, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

After leaving the customs, Lu Bu took off his general-style clothes and changed into riding clothes that were more convenient for mobility. Now he was dressed neatly and neatly, with only a sword on his waist. His expression was indifferent, but his aura suddenly overshadowed him. Zhen Er, who travels with dozens of people.

Zhen Er's eyes were shocked and he didn't answer for a while.

When he first looked at it, only two sentences came to his mind.

——This man is so tall! What a young age!

It's just that he sent the message to the brother who only said a tall man and a big horse.

A cursory glance at the man in front of me revealed that he was at least nine feet long, with slender hands and feet, and a strong body. Although he was a practicing practitioner, he was more than just a four-character person!

What shocked Zhen Er even more was that this man had a formidable aura, but his face was only that of a young man.

Little did Lu Bu know that the raging evil spirit that he had condensed from licking blood from his sword and fighting on the battlefield for more than twenty years could not be easily controlled by him if he had the will to do so.

Although Zhen Er and his party have not seen much, they have been able to run rampant in this countryside for many years without incident. Naturally, they have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

As soon as their eyes fell on Lu Bu, they couldn't help but feel fear, and they completely gave up.

But they didn't know that Lu Bu had never planned to do any business with them from the beginning to the end.

All he wanted was to take advantage of their greed, deceive them all, and catch them all in one go, saving him the effort of catching them one by one.

Not only is this time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it’s not guaranteed and will leave fish caught.

Under everyone's frightened gaze, Lu Bu lowered his eyes, unhurriedly drew out his long sword, raised his eyebrows, and lightly breathed ha on the sword's edge.

A faint white mist appeared on the blade, slightly reflecting the eyes full of ferocity.

At the same time, Lu Bu raised his eyes slightly, his tiger eyes fixed on Zhen Er, whose expression was changing unpredictably, and he asked lazily: Zhen Er... do you still remember Han Xin?

As soon as this statement came out

, the faces of Zhen Er and his group suddenly changed!

They still couldn't realize that the man in front of them was not looking for any business deal with them at all, he was clearly here to seek revenge for that crotch husband!

Even if they knew intellectually, they were powerful in numbers, and there was no need to fear this foreigner who was alone and weak.

——But when these words first came out, they subconsciously had no fighting spirit, and only the word run was left!

Still want to run?

Lu Bu snorted softly, his eyes wide.

The sword under his hand was as fast as lightning and as agile as a swimming fish, and he stabbed forward in an instant!

If he could let these minions run away, he, the dignified Marquis Lu Wen, would no longer have the face to stand in the world!

Before the white mist he breathed out completely dissipated, there was a sudden sound of the blade cutting into flesh and bone.

beg--

Zhen Er's scalp was numb, and just as he was begging for mercy, a heartbreaking pain hit his neck!

Before he even had time to howl in agony, the Bodhisattva behind him caught up with him and chopped off his head with a clean sword.

The gangsters closest to Zhen Er were splashed all over by the warm, bright red liquid. Their legs and feet suddenly became weak and they could no longer run.

Although they were no strangers to the fish and meat village, the most they could do was punch, kick, and deliberately humiliate them. Never had they seen such a terrifying battle in which a person's life was cut off without blinking an eye!

Lu Bu didn't care whether they ran or not.

He casually drew out the long sword, and did not rush to take the lives of the people who were kneeling down to beg for mercy. Instead, he calmly took the long bow on his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned sideways, and took the long bow. Laman, he glanced at the backs of the gangsters who dared to turn their backs on him and run away one by one.

Then he shot one arrow at a time, without missing a single shot.

The people who had no time to run far fell to the ground one by one, and there was no more sound.

This tragic scene caught the eyes of those people whose legs were weak and could not run. They were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split apart, and several people even peed their pants in embarrassment.

In this state of despair, they could only kneel down, kowtow, and try their best to beg for mercy.

However, Lu Bu's heart was as solid as stone, and he quickly switched to the long sword and killed them cleanly.

——After observing the people present and listening to the panicked reaction after he asked the question just now, he knew that these bastards were all present when the cheap old man suffered that humiliation.
