At Xiangyang's West City Gate, Ye Cheng finally stepped aside and opened the city gate.
"Come, come, come, let's send second young master off to victory!" Ye Cheng said to Liu Pan's troops with a smile.
"Victory on the first move! Victory on the first move!" Ye Cheng's troops also shouted.
"Hmph!" Liu Pan snorted coldly and led his heavy cavalry out.
Ye Cheng's smiling face disappeared after the heavy cavalry left. "Second Young Master? Hmph, don't be like the eldest young master. If I give you face, you're the second young master. If I don't give you face, I'll spit on you. "Ye Cheng's face was full of disdain.
It was no wonder. The most troublesome person in Jingzhou was Liu Biao's son. His eldest son, Liu Qi, was ostracized by the entire Jingzhou. With the Chu and Cai families around, no one dared to flirt with him. Therefore, Liu Qi was all alone and was kicked to Xinye. Therefore, only the youngest young master, Liu Biao, was known in Xiangyang but not the other sons of Liu Biao.
"General, you should have captured such a despicable person on the spot and let the lord decide what to do with him!" Liu Pan's personal guard said angrily to Liu Pan after his heavy cavalry left. A small guard dared to show off in front of the lord's second young master. Wasn't he looking for death?
"It's easy to capture him, but it's difficult to take his life." Liu Pan shook his head. He wanted to capture Ye Cheng and kill him more than anyone else because Ye Cheng had delayed Liu Pan's army for so long. However, Liu Pan couldn't do that. Ye Cheng was nothing. The main thing was the Ye and Huang families behind him.
"Let's go. We'll talk about other things after we capture that King Of Shu, Liu Mang."
"Yes, sir!" Liu Pan's heavy cavalry split up on the small road a few days ago to intercept Liu Mang.
"My lord, the forest is just ahead!" Jia Xu said to Liu Mang.
"Yes! Once we reach the mountain on the other side of the forest, we will immediately leave Jingzhou. "Liu Mang nodded.
"You want to enter the forest?" Liu Pan frowned as he looked in the direction of the hot air balloon. He was a cavalry unit, and it would be difficult for cavalry to enter the forest. "We must catch them before they enter the forest. That was what Liu Pan was thinking. However, Liu Pan gritted his teeth. "Damn it!" In Xiangyang, the road was easy to traverse. But in the wilderness, it was different. Not only was the road difficult to traverse, but the terrain was also very bad. When the heavy cavalry stepped on it, it was as if they had fallen into a pit. Because of this, their speed slowed down.
"Damn it!" If it wasn't for Ye Cheng causing trouble, they would have caught up to him by now.
"My lord, this hot air balloon can't fly anymore." Jia Xu suddenly shouted to Liu Mang.
"Can't fly anymore?" Liu Mang looked over and realized that there wasn't enough fuel to make the hot air. Liu Mang's was originally a simple version. It was already good enough that it could fly out of Xiangyang City.
"Let's land here!" Fortunately, they had already reached the forest. Although they couldn't go over the mountain like Liu Mang wanted and rely on the mountain to block the enemy, it was enough.
"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded. Several people slowly released the hot air, and the hot air balloon slowly descended.
"Burn it with fire." This hot air balloon couldn't be taken away. Liu Mang didn't want to leave it for Jing Zhou, so he directly lit the hot air balloon with the charcoal fire that hadn't been extinguished yet.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's go!" Liu Mang, Jia Xu, and the others lit the hot air balloon and ran towards the depths of the forest.
"General, they have entered the forest." The scout reported to Liu Pan.
"Damn it. Are we really unable to catch up?" Liu Pan said fiercely. He looked carefully and found that Liu Mang ran into a small mountain. Although the mountain was dense, it was separated from the other mountain ranges by a large distance.
"Haha, God is helping me! God is helping me! King Of Shu, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, God wants to destroy you. "Liu Pan suddenly laughed." Men, charge to the front and surround the entire mountain. "Liu Pan waved his hand and said to the heavy cavalry.
"Yes!" Soon, thousands of heavy-armored cavalrymen surrounded the small hill.
"Damn it, we went the wrong way." At this time, Liu Mang also discovered that they seemed to have run into a dead end. Although this small hill is densely packed, it is separated from the other mountain ranges. "You led the way well." Liu Mang glared at Jia Xu. Originally, Liu Mang and the others wanted to run into the dense forest.
However, Jia Xu felt that it was too far. This place was more convenient and faster. As long as they hid in the forest, they would be able to avoid the enemy. Why should they give up what was near and seek what was far away?
However, Jia Xu didn't know that this was an independent mountain. Jia Xu also had a sad face.
If it was any other mountain, then there would be roads leading in all directions. Liu Pan still wanted to surround the mountain? Without at least a hundred thousand people, it was impossible to form a large scale at the foot of the mountain. However, it was different now. They ran into a small mountain, and the small mountain below was completely surrounded by Liu Pan's subordinates.
"King Of Shu, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, I know you can hear me." In order to let Liu Mang in the mountain hear his words, Liu Pan deliberately let a white team repeat his words.
"I know you don't know me, and you don't understand me!" Liu Pan shouted at Liu Mang. "Then let me introduce myself. My surname is Liu, and my name is Pan. My father is Liu Biao, the Prefecture Magistrate of Jingzhou."
"Liu Biao's son?" Liu Mang heard Liu Pan's words. When did Liu Biao have another son? Liu Mang was stunned. Weren't Liu Biao's sons Liu Qi and Liu Zong? Liu Qi was now working in Yangzhou, and Liu Zong was just a child.
"My lord, he might be an adopted son or a concubine!" Jia Xu said. "When we were in Wan City, Zhang Xiu once said that it was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to exchange pointers with Liu Biao's concubine Pan."
"Able to exchange pointers with Zhang Xiu?" Liu Mang frowned. He knew about Zhang Xiu's strength. He was a God Refinement realm martial artist, and someone who could break through to the peak of God Refinement realm. If Zhang Xiu wanted to exchange pointers with him, then this Liu Mang's strength must be above the God Refinement realm.
"I heard that Liu Biao went to the border, but now it seems like he was summoned back by Liu Biao." Liu Mang had also seen the heavy cavalry under Liu Pan. They were definitely elites. With such heavy cavalry in hand, Liu Biao's trump card would increase. At the very least, no one in the Yangtze River would be able to fight against Liu Biao. Liu Biao had so many troops in Xiangyang City. It seems that Liu Biao did not trust the Cai Family and the Lao Family.
"Your Highness King Of Shu, I heard about Your Highness King Of Shu in Suiding. I wanted to exchange pointers with Your Highness, but I didn't expect that we would meet on the battlefield. Today, I don't care if you are the King Of Shu, Liu Mang or the fake Liu Mang. Come out and surrender. I, Liu Pan, won't kill you. I will only send you to my uncle," Liu Pan shouted outside.
Liu Mang sneered. Sending Liu Mang to Liu Biao was no different from killing Liu Mang. If he was killed by Liu Biao, he would die a worse death.
"Your Highness, you really don't want to come out, right?" Liu Pan's voice sounded again. "I will give Your Highness another hour!" Liu Pan's voice was filled with a sense of control. "If Your Highness still doesn't come out after a cup of tea, then I, Liu Pan, will set the mountain on fire," Liu Pan said calmly.
"Liu Pan, right?" Liu Mang couldn't help but speak. "If you want to catch me, why don't you come into the mountain to catch me? This mountain is only so big. If you want to catch me, it will be easy. Or are you afraid? "
"Do you want me to give up my advantage as a cavalry and enter the forest to play hide and seek with you? Your Highness, are you stupid or am I stupid? Your Highness has already waited for half an hour. If you still don't come out, then Your Highness will become the first King in history to be burned to death in the mountain. "
After receiving Liu Pan's reply, Liu Mang knew that Liu Pan wasn't easy to deal with. Originally, he wanted to provoke Liu Pan into entering the forest, then Liu Mang and the others could take him down. Now, it seemed that this wasn't going to work.
"My Lord, let's force our way out," Guan Hai said to Liu Mang and found a direction to force their way out.
"No." Liu Mang shook his head. It was impossible to force their way out. Not to mention that Liu Mang still had the heavily injured Zhou Cang and Jia Xu in his hands, even if the four of them were at full strength, it would still be difficult to charge out. This was because the heavy cavalry below couldn't do anything to Liu Mang because of the forest. However, once they got out, they would be on flat ground. Once the heavy cavalry charged, it would be terrifying.
Even someone at the peak of the Spirit-Refinement realm wouldn't be able to fight against a group of charging heavy cavalry.
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait here to die." Guan Hai was a little dissatisfied and growled. "We can still fight if we rush out, but if we stay here, we will definitely die. If we set the mountain on fire, none of us will be able to escape. My Lord, let us cover your escape." Guan Hai was prepared to risk his life.
"Milord, don't bother with me, Zhou Cang. I, Zhou Cang, have a worthless life. As long as Milord gives me, Zhou Cang, some good food and wine on the anniversary of my death every year, that will be enough." Even at this time, Zhou Cang still wanted to eat.
"My Lord, Jia Xu doesn't have much to say. Although Jia Xu is old, these old bones can still fight. I only hope that my Lord will take good care of Jia Xu when you return to Yangzhou. I, Jia Xu, already have an heir. If I die, then so be it." Even the old fox Jia Xu wanted to cover Liu Mang's escape.
"What are you all talking about? There are ambushes everywhere in Xiangyang. We have already escaped. Don't tell me that we can't escape today? " Liu Mang encouraged himself. However, these people already knew the situation in front of them. This small hill was originally independent of the mountain range. It also did not have any spring or the like. Once the mountain was set on fire, they would not be able to escape.
"And if you all die, then what will I, Liu Mang, become?" Liu Mang shook his head and said, "I have already told you that I, Liu Mang, the City Guard's oath is to live and die together, and share riches and honor together. Do you want me, Liu Mang, to betray my oath and become a person who doesn't keep my word?"
"I don't dare!"
Liu Mang looked at the sky and the enemies outside. "Wen He and Liu Biao want me. When I get out, you all stay in the mountain! Wait until it gets dark and then take the opportunity to leave! "
"My Lord, you can't do that." Guan Hai was the first to object. If he had to use his Lord in exchange for his own life, then what would he be? A traitor? Wouldn't that make him a villain?
"My Lord, do you want to go out and let us go back to Yangzhou to report?" Jia Xu was much calmer. He analyzed. Liu Mang wanted to sacrifice himself so that Jia Xu and the others could leave Jingzhou alive. Even if they went to Liu Biao, with the threat of the Yangzhou army, Liu Biao would not directly kill Liu Mang.
"My Lord, you think too much." Jia Xu rejected directly. "Not to mention that we have already been seen by Liu Pan. Even if he didn't see us, do you think you can still survive after you and Liu Pan go to Xiangyang?" Basically, everyone in Xiangyang City knew that Liu Biao was cuckolded. If not, Liu Biao could still let Liu Mang live to cover up the truth. But now, everyone knew that Liu Biao was ashamed and angry. If he didn't kill Liu Mang, he would become the biggest joke in the world. Therefore, no matter what, Liu Biao would kill Liu Mang.
"Then avenge me!" Liu Mang was indifferent. "I don't believe that Jia Xu can't survive. Stay and avenge me!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu.
"Even if Yangzhou doesn't have me, there is still my father-in-law!" Liu Mang said. Liu Mang was not really the Lord of Yangzhou. After all, everything that Liu Mang had was given to him by his father-in-law, Lü Bu.
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, remember, you owe me a life. You have to give it all to me in Yangzhou. Assist my father-in-law in conquering the world. "
"I!" Jia Xu didn't know how to answer. He was a kind of fence-sitter. He didn't think about loyalty. He only thought about benefits. Liu Mang didn't blame Jia Xu. There were many people like him in this chaotic world. Every man for himself.
"I believe that with you, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Chen Gongtai, and so many other talented generals, we can definitely conquer the world." Liu Mang wanted to rely on favors to make Jia Xu stay. Liu Mang believed that if he didn't say it, then Jia Xu would disappear soon after returning to Yangzhou. He might even appear under the command of other warlords and become their enemy.
"Promise me!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu.
"I!" Jia Xu didn't know whether to promise or not. But Jia Xu felt a killing intent. That's right, it was killing intent.
Liu Mang's hand had already touched the hilt of his saber. He looked at Jia Xu indifferently. But if he couldn't escape this time, and Jia Xu still didn't promise, then Liu Mang was ready to take Jia Xu with him. He wouldn't leave behind a powerful enemy for Yangzhou.
"I …" Jia Xu was still hesitating. He couldn't be loyal. This was not Jia Xu's character. Jia Xu was seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. This was Jia Xu. If Liu Mang was the main attacker in Yangzhou, then Jia Xu might be able to assist Liu Mang. But if it was Lü Bu, then Jia Xu didn't know if he could persevere. This was because Jia Xu's previous evaluation of Lü Bu was that he was going to die sooner or later. If he didn't meet Chen Gong, who wanted to expose Cao Cao's true colors, he might have died long ago. Asking Jia Xu to assist a lord that was similar to an idiot, wasn't this forcing Jia Xu?
And Lü Bu's temper was unpredictable. If he accidentally killed Jia Xu, then Jia Xu could cry. Didn't he see that the good old man Chen Gong had thought of betraying Lü Bu?
Sorry, Wenhe. Liu Mang had already placed his hand on his sword. He should send Jia Xu down first and apologize to Jia Xu later.
"Hua Hua Hua!" Just as Liu Mang pulled out his sword, there was a sudden movement in the bushes behind Liu Mang and the others.
"Who's there?" Guan Hai immediately reacted and roared.
"Someone?" Liu Mang also pulled out his sword and became alert. "Did Liu Pan not keep his word and sent people in?" If that was the case, then one would die anyway. Killing one was enough, and killing two was worth it.
"No, the movement is behind them, not in front of them. No matter how fast Liu Pan is, he can't have sent people in before them."
"Who's there? Come out!" Liu Mang's voice became louder. On the other side, Guan Hai pounced over. The sounds of fighting soon passed through.
"Wah Wah Wah, Xi Mi Sha!" Liu Mang and the others also rushed over, afraid that Guan Hai would be at a disadvantage. When they arrived, they realized that there was more than one person fighting with Guan Hai. There were a total of four people. These four people were basically wearing half of their clothes and had feathers on their heads. Their words were also incomprehensible.
Naturally, they weren't Liu Pan's subordinates. Liu Pan didn't have this group of savages.
"Are these savages from the mountain?" Liu Mang was puzzled.
"Xi Mi Sha." Suddenly, a savage with something on his face rushed towards Liu Mang.
"Protect the Lord." Zhou Cang on the side struggled to get up. Jia Xu also stood in front of Liu Mang. Liu Mang was also shocked. Guan Hai directly ignored the three enemies around him and rushed towards the back of the savage.
Guan Hai's speed was very fast. He would definitely be able to kill this savage before he could get close to Liu Mang.
"En?" Liu Mang looked at the barbarian rushing toward him. Is this barbarian smiling? Yes, he is laughing! This enemy should be angry. Although Liu Mang didn't know them, humans were like animals. They should have a deep sense of territory. He had entered their territory.
"Stop!" Liu Mang shouted loudly because he recognized who this barbarian was. This barbarian did not have any murderous aura. Liu Mang was now a second-rate warrior so he could naturally feel who wanted to kill and who did not.
Guan Hai was stunned when he heard Liu Mang's voice. It was a little too late for him to withdraw his sword. Liu Mang could only rush forward and slash at Guan Hai with his sword.
"Dang Dang Dang!" The two swords created a series of sparks. Liu Mang's hand shook and the swords fell to the ground. The web between his thumb and forefinger also cracked a bit.
"Lord!" Guan Hai came forward worriedly. "Lord, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Liu Mang's hand was bleeding, but Liu Mang still shook his head. There was still a big gap between him and a refinement warrior. Guan Hai's strength was too great. Liu Mang was injured because he couldn't control his sword.
Guan Hai didn't know why Liu Mang blocked his sword, but he still stood in front of Liu Mang to protect him.
"Everyone, stop!" Liu Mang shook his head and asked Guan Hai to put down his sword. This way, the other three savages would let go of their hostility.
"Han, Xiangyang City, princess." The savage explained to Liu Mang. Liu Mang still didn't understand. This savage was jumping up and down. When he wiped the scribbles on his face, Liu Mang finally recognized him.
"Huzi?" Liu Mang frowned and asked.
Hearing this name, the barbarian nodded his head. Liu Mang was able to confirm that this barbarian was an old acquaintance. This barbarian was the one who entered Xiangyang city to look for their princess. Liu Mang nodded his head and confirmed that this barbarian was indeed an old acquaintance. This barbarian was the one who entered Xiangyang city to look for their princess.
Liu Mang still remembered that this barbarian came to stop his carriage. Liu Mang almost died in his hands. It was also because of this barbarian that Liu Mang became friends with Kuai Ran from the Kuai Family.
"Why are you here?" Liu Mang was puzzled. Liu Mang remembered that after the barbarian princess was chased away by him, this barbarian chased after her. They were from the Wuxi Barbarian Tribe, and this was Xiangyang. Why would they be here? It seemed like they had been in the mountains for a long time.
"The princess is worried about you, so Huzi came to look for you to protect you." The barbarian explained in the shortest words.
"Worried about me? Protect me? " Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head. This barbarian princess was chased away by him. She wanted to stay by his side, but Liu Mang asked her to leave because of Tiger Hu.
Liu Mang still remembered that before the princess left, she said to him "don't regret it".
After the barbarian explained, Liu Mang found out that this barbarian princess was really affectionate. After she and Huzi returned to the barbarian tribe, Huzi was the strongest warrior in the tribe. The barbarian princess allowed Huzi to defeat her father and successfully became the queen of the tribe. After she became the queen, she couldn't forget about Liu Mang, so she sent people to Xiangyang City to protect him. Huzi could be considered someone who understood Chinese. Naturally, they couldn't enter Xiangyang City, so they usually lived in the mountains. They only came to this hill when Liu Mang left Xiangyang City.
"You said you came from the mountains?" Jia Xu, the old fox, was indeed an expert at escaping. In just a short while, he was able to get information out of the barbarian's mouth.
"Yes, yes!" The barbarian nodded.
"Haha, Milord, we are saved!" Jia Xu laughed, almost jumping for joy.
Liu Mang also understood that these barbarians didn't enter the mountain before Liu Mang. They saw Liu Mang and the others in the mountain and came over. Therefore, they were able to enter the mountain after being surrounded by Liu Mang's army. This meant that they had a way out.
"Quick, quick, take us out." Jia Xu gestured to the barbarian.
However, the barbarian didn't move at all.
"Hey, do you understand Chinese?" Jia Xu was a little anxious. Liu Pan and the others were preparing to burn the mountain. If things went wrong, they would all be barbecued together. This was a matter of life and death.
"You, shut up." The barbarian pointed at Jia Xu and said. The barbarian still looked at Liu Mang.
"What do you want? Say it." Liu Mang could see that the barbarian had a request.
"Save you? Sure, go back and get married." The barbarian straightforwardly said this request.
"Get married?" Liu Mang was stunned. Who was he going to get married to? Their princess? That Qian Yu?
"Get married to the princess. Save you. Don't go, stay!" The barbarian threatened.
"Okay, okay, okay. Get married, get married. Go back and get married immediately!" On the other side, Jia Xu directly sold Liu Mang out. Before Liu Mang agreed, Jia Xu had already agreed. It didn't matter if he got married or not, he just wanted to escape. He didn't want to die.
"Okay your head." Liu Mang slapped Jia Xu on the forehead. "You're called Huzi, right?" Liu Mang counted to the barbarian.
"Yes!" The barbarian called Huzi nodded. "The princess is called Huzi. Huzi is Huzi."
These words made Liu Mang's head spin. However, Liu Mang didn't care. Wasn't a name just a title? "Then Huzi, you should know that marriage isn't a matter of one person. It needs two people. Only when two people like each other can they get married." Liu Mang explained to Huzi.
Huzi nodded. Liu Mang was just about to let out a sigh of relief, thinking that his family had convinced Huzi. However, Huzi's next sentence made Liu Mang swallow his words.
"The princess likes you. Go back and get married!" Huzi said to Liu Mang.
"I, I, I!" Liu Mang wanted to kill someone. What did he mean by the princess likes me? I want to marry her.
"That's good. That's good. Like, like! Huzi, do you know us Han people? We Han people only have three wives. I have already married all three of them. Therefore, if your princess marries me, she can only be a concubine for a long time. A concubine, you know? It's like a maid! She has no status or identity. "Liu Mang explained to Huzi. "Does your princess want to be my concubine or maid?" Liu Mang wanted to use his status to make Huzi give up.
"The princess marries you. You are the princess' wife." Huzi continued to refute.
"Okay, okay! I don't understand you at all. "Not only did he want to marry her, he also wanted to bring her back to be his wife.
"Damn it. I'm going to die here. I'm not leaving." What kind of situation was this? This was simply selling her body, asking her to go back and be the mistress of the fort? Was that even possible?
"My lord, is the barbarian princess ugly?" Jia Xu pulled Liu Mang down and asked.
"You haven't seen her before? Don't you know if she is ugly or not? " Liu Mang said angrily. To be honest, the barbarian princess was very beautiful. Even Liu Mang's wives could only be compared to her. Moreover, the barbarian princess had a kind of mixed beauty.
"Then is the barbarian princess not a virgin?" Jia Xu asked again. That meant Liu Mang was obsessed with cleanliness.
"If not, would the brothel sell her?" If not, the brothel would not sell the barbarian princess at such a high price.
"Then my lord is afraid of your mistress!" Jia Xu said to Liu Mang.
"Who said so? This is called loving my wife." Liu Mang would not admit that he was afraid of his wife.
"Then my lord, why don't you want her? That means my lord is not capable." Jia Xu continued.
"You are the one who is not capable!" Liu Mang was even angrier. He was despised. "Okay, okay. I admit it. If I marry her, I won't be able to enter the house." Liu Mang said with a bitter face. Everyone loved beauty. Liu Mang also liked beautiful women. However, if he married the barbarian princess, Liu Mang would not be able to sleep with the other wives.
"My lord, you are not even afraid of death. Will you be afraid of this?" Jia Xu teased. "Besides, my lord, agree to it first. As for whether you will get married or not, let's talk about it later. Anyway, there is one more Xiao Cui. It doesn't matter if there is one more barbarian princess. "
"My lord, do you really want to die here? If you don't leave, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai will not leave. "Jia Xu used Guan Hai and Zhou Cang as a threat again.
"Okay!" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Cang and Guan Hai. He could not let these two die with him. "Let's go out first!" Liu Mang walked to Hu Zi and said, "Let's go out first." “
"Get married!" Hu Zi replied.
"Okay, okay. Let's get married!" Liu Mang said perfunctorily.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Wu Xi! " After saying that, Huzi turned around and shouted at the other three barbarians, "Xi Zi Was, Xi Zi Dug!"
"Xi Zi Wais, Xi Zi Shen Diao." The three barbarian men nodded their heads. Then, the three of them took the lead and walked forward.
