Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 588: Famous Centurion?
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Sun Shangxiang rolled her eyes at him.

"Would Liu Bei be afraid of my father? I don't believe it even if you kill me. You can just lie to a child. Forget it. I won't bother with you. Now that King Lie is gone, can I leave too?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Sun, you can't leave. The master didn't say you can leave, so you have to stay here."

Looking at the rigid Zhao Yun, Sun Shangxiang was very angry. She glared at Zhao Yun fiercely and turned back to her room.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang leaving, Zhao Yun smiled helplessly. Judging from the current situation, Sun Shangxiang really deserves the title of the Witch of Jiangdong.

Everyone felt scared when they saw this legendary general, except Sun Shangxiang, who didn't show any fear at all and even wanted to go against him.

Gu Rubing and Zhang Fei accelerated all the way and arrived at Xudu, Sili.

Lu Su and others had been waiting at the door.

"Lord."

After seeing Gu Rubing coming, Lu Su and others hurried forward and knelt in front of Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing helped him up.

"There is no storm in Xudu. You are the great heroes."

Hearing this, Lu Su smiled and shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go meet the Emperor."

After hearing Gu Rubing's words, Lu Su immediately brought Gu Rubing to the palace.

"My lord, according to your instructions, our people have been replaced in the palace, but the emperor still has his own people. We have infiltrated some of the imperial guards, but for some reason, the emperor seems to be wary, as if he knows those are our people and deliberately does not use our people."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing frowned.

Apparently, for some reason, this situation made him feel familiar.

After Gu Rubing asked Lu Su and the others to go back, he stood alone outside the door of the hall.

"Liu Bei, I pay my respects to His Majesty!"

Gu Rubing's voice was so loud that it directly woke up Liu Xie in the hall.

"come in."

Liu Xie opened his eyes and looked at Gu Rubing who walked in with sleepy eyes.

"King Lie? I heard that you were in Jiaozhou. Why are you back? Is the battle in Jiaozhou over?"

Gu Rubing shook his head and pretended to be very tired.

"Your Majesty, I haven't slept well for several days. The war in Jiaozhou is intense, and my troops have been greatly depleted. I hope the court can give me some support."

"Support? Uncle, are you kidding me? There are thirteen states in the world, eleven of which are yours, and you still want me to support you. What can I support you with? I only have two thousand imperial guards, how about you take them?"

"Okay! Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

"what?"

Liu Xie originally said this out of anger, but he didn't expect that Gu Rubing would actually agree to it. Without the only imperial guard under his command, he would have no sense of security in the imperial city.

"Ahem, uncle, that's not what I meant. I just said it in anger. Why don't you tell me what support you want me to give you? Two thousand men are of no use to you, right?"

Gu Rubing smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

It seems that there is a problem with the Imperial Guards again, otherwise how could Liu Xie suddenly give in when the topic of taking away the Imperial Guards was mentioned.

"Your Majesty, of course I know you are joking with me. There are three princes in Jiaozhou now, including me, but I don't want to get involved in the dispute over Jiaozhou anymore. I would like to ask Your Majesty to appoint Cao Cao as the governor of Jiaozhou and command all affairs of Jiaozhou."

Liu Xie frowned slightly when he heard this. He was too familiar with this tactic, using the emperor to control the princes. He didn't expect that Gu Rubing also wanted to use the same tactic.

"Uncle, you also know that the imperial court's appointment of officials is all decided by the ministers and me. Isn't it a bit bad for you to make the decision alone? The appointment of officials is a small matter, but if the people of the world think that you, King Lie, are holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, and it ruins your reputation, then the matter will be serious."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing smiled.

"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood something. It was not me who appointed Cao Cao as the governor of Jiaozhou. It was you, Your Majesty. The emperor appoints officials, so who can say anything?"

After hearing this, Liu Xie didn't know what to say. He sighed helplessly and could only nod in agreement.

Liu Xie quickly prepared the imperial edict.

Gu Rubing took the imperial edict and turned around and left.

Not long after Gu Rubing left, a centurion of the Imperial Guards quietly entered the hall.

All of this was seen by Gu Rubing who was hiding in the dark.

At this time, Chen Dao also came to Gu Rubing's side.

"My lord, there are some people in the Royal Guards who are not under our control. This centurion is one of them. He often meets with Your Majesty secretly, but we don't know what they say specifically."

Gu Rubing nodded and looked at Chen Dao curiously.

"Uncle Zhi, didn't you arrest anyone to question?"

"My Lord, we are worried about their plans, so we don't want to alert them. We can only observe in secret."

Gu Rubing nodded, thinking that this worry was very likely, but he didn't have the time to worry about Xu Du's affairs. Since a problem had occurred and he was back, he might as well solve it directly.

"Catch the man."

"Yes!"

Inside the main hall.

Liu Xie looked at the centurion who came in.

"Wang Tian, ​​what do you think I should do?"

"Your Majesty, since we are now in decline, why don't we just do as King Lie said? Anyway, they are all princes with evil intentions, so let them fight and we can just watch from the sidelines. I will tell Cao Cao and Sun Jian's spies in the Imperial Guards about this matter later and let them prepare early."

After the two discussed for some time, Wang Tian walked out of the room.

As a result, after walking a short distance, Wang Tian stopped and looked behind him.

"Since you are here, why don't you stop hiding and come out to meet me?"

As Wang Tian's voice fell, Chen Dao slowly walked out with a group of Bai Li soldiers.

"Chen Dao? Why don't you just guard the door properly? What are you doing here?"

Wang Tian was indeed a little surprised at Chen Dao's appearance, and he put one hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.

"Wang Tian, ​​the lord wants you to come over and see him."

"Lord? You are talking about King Lie, right? I am so sorry, but without His Majesty's order, I can meet with King Lie alone. If you want to see me, you need to tell His Majesty."

Hearing this, Chen Dao didn't waste any words, drew his sword and rushed forward.

Gu Rubing was watching in the corner. What he didn't expect was that with his own bonus, Chen Dao had already approached the famous general, but he could not last more than ten rounds at the hands of this man named Wang Tian, ​​and the sword in his hand was knocked away.

Chen Dao quickly took a few steps back and returned to the Bai Li soldiers. "I really underestimated you. Everyone, come on together."

Dozens of Bai Li soldiers attacked together. Gu Rubing thought that Wang Tian should be able to be defeated for sure. Even an ordinary famous general might not be able to fight against dozens of Bai Li soldiers.

But soon, Gu Rubing was slapped in the face again.

Dozens of Bai Li soldiers fought for the time of an incense stick, and more than ten of them were killed by the man named Wang Tian. The rest of them were also injured to some extent. It could be seen that Wang Tian had held back. Wang Tian himself did not even take a deep breath, his face was not red and he was not out of breath, as if he had accomplished something very easy.

Gu Rubing dared to conclude that this Wang Tian must be a famous general, but after thinking for a long time, he could not remember any famous general named Wang Tian.

Chen Dao had never expected that the world-famous Bai Li soldiers could not defeat a centurion with a sword at this moment, which made him feel greatly frustrated.

"If you come again, I must kill him!"

"okay!"

Just when everyone was about to take action, Gu Rubing walked out from the darkness.

When they saw Gu Rubing coming out, everyone stopped immediately. Chen Dao walked to Gu Rubing with his head down.

With so many people, they killed quite a few people just to capture one person. When Gu Rubing saw this, he would definitely think that the Bai Li soldiers were not well trained.

However, Chen Dao, who was ready to accept Gu Rubing's questioning, did not expect that Gu Rubing not only did not question or punish him, but patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"After you go back, train as hard as you can. Keep training until you die."

Chen Dao glared at the Bai Li soldiers around him and hurriedly followed Gu Rubing.

Chen Dao knew Wang Tian's strength, and he was afraid that Wang Tian would suddenly explode and kill Gu Rubing.

Seeing Gu Rubing getting closer and closer to Wang Tian, ​​Chen Dao hurriedly stopped him.

"My lord, this person is very dangerous, so don't get too close to him."

"It's okay! I believe General Wang will not attack me. He should know the price of attacking me. As long as I am alive, this place is still called Xudu, this is still the imperial palace, and Liu Xie is still sitting on the dragon throne. If I die, this place will be nothing, and who will sit on the throne may not be certain."

Gu Rubing said these words to tell Wang Tian not to act rashly.

Wang Tian naturally understood this principle. When he saw Gu Rubing approaching, he put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

"Your Highness, if you have nothing else to do, please leave the palace. This is the Emperor's home, and you cannot just come and go as you please."

Gu Rubing smiled at Wang Tian's words and didn't care at all.

"General Wang, why don't you come to my house for a gathering?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, King Lie. According to the rules, I can't go to your house. You can apply to His Majesty."

Gu Rubing had expected Wang Tian's refusal and turned to look at the sword in Wang Tian's hand.

"Sir, your sword is really fast. I am a little curious. With your sword skills, why did you come to the Imperial Guard? Why don't you join me? I can give you better treatment than you have now, and you can set any conditions you want."

"No need, King Lie. A minister should not serve two masters. Since I have chosen Your Majesty, I naturally cannot betray Your Majesty. Please leave here, King Lie."

This was the second order of expulsion that Wang Tian had issued to Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing looked at Wang Tian in front of him, hesitated for a moment, smiled, and turned away.

"Mr. Wang Tian, ​​when you figure it out, come to Prince Lie's Mansion. The door of my Prince Lie's Mansion will always be open to you."

As Gu Rubing finished his voice, he disappeared from Wang Tian's sight.

Wang Tian didn't care about Gu Rubing's words at all and rushed to the Imperial Guards' camp on his own.

Gu Rubing returned to the mansion and looked at Chen Dao and others who had gathered there.

"Who is that Wang Tian? Don't you know him?"

"My lord, we really don't know. That person didn't make any sound when he came in, and his strength was not very strong. He wanted to join us at first, but because he was weak, we didn't want him and threw him into the Imperial Guards."

Looking at Chen Dao with a look of aggrieved face, Gu Rubing was speechless for a moment.

Weak? A famous general, and judging by his strength, he should be one of the top generals. Is this considered weak? If this is considered weak, then what is Chen Dao?
Although Gu Rubing was angry, he did not blame Chen Dao.

After all, the opponent's weak strength must be pretended. It is easy for a famous general to disguise his strength in front of a first-class general.

Even Gu Rubing suspected that even Xu Rong was no match for Wang Tian.

You should know that vanity is not very strong among the famous generals. It is for this reason that Gu Rubing placed Xu Rong in Xu Du to ensure Xu Rong's safety.

However, in Xu Du today, the strongest man is not his own Xu Rong, but the Imperial Guards around Liu Xie.

To Gu Rubing, this was a mockery, and a naked mockery at that.

"Okay, all of you go down, Xu Rong, you stay for a while."

Chen Dao and others nodded, turned around and left.

"What do you think of Wang Tian?"

After hearing what Gu Rubing said, Xu Rong hesitated. He was not there when Wang Tian fought against the Bai Li soldiers, so he was not clear about Wang Tian's strength. He only heard from Chen Dao that the opponent was very strong.

"My lord, I want to test the opponent's strength."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing looked at Xu Rong.

Gu Rubing felt that Wang Tian must be stronger than Xu Rong. It would be extremely dangerous to test him under such circumstances.

"Are you sure? This is dangerous."

"My lord, I know it's dangerous, but I want to try it because the opponent is stronger than me. I want to become stronger."

Seeing the determination in Xu Rong's eyes, Gu Rubing realized that Xu Rong had always known the purpose and reason why he kept him in Xudu. However, Xu Rong was a somewhat arrogant person, so how could he be willing to be the weakest?

"Okay, I'll take my third brother with you."

Xu Rong nodded.

late at night.

Wang Tian was walking in the imperial city when he suddenly stopped.

Because Wang Tian saw in front of him a man in black, holding a long sword and wearing a black scarf, and his appearance was completely visible.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace?"

The man in black didn't care about Wang Tian's words at all. He drew out his sword and rushed towards Wang Tian.

Wang Tian also hesitated, then drew his sword and rushed forward.

As soon as the two sides fought, Wang Tian felt that the opponent also had the strength of a famous general.

Wang Tian would never believe that a famous general was able to enter the palace without Gu Rubing's authorization.

"You are King Lie's man, right? Are you here to kill me?"

After Wang Tian shocked the man in black in front of him and made him take a few steps back, he spoke slowly.
