Seeing that Gu Rubing didn't say anything, Liu Xie quickly smiled and waved his hand.

King Lie has good luck. The one you picked actually won. It seems that I lost the bet. I should have chosen King Lie's one earlier.

Hearing this, Gu Rubing walked up to the horse and patted its body.

"Your Majesty is such a joker. Everyone saw that it was Your Majesty who chose this horse. How could I steal the credit from Your Majesty?"

After saying that, Gu Rubing drew out the sword in his hand and chopped off the horse's head with it.

Liu Xie and Wang Yue, who were present, were startled and stood up quickly.

Wang Yue even drew out the sword in his hand and looked around nervously.

"Uncle, you are..."

At this time, Liu Xie was shaking all over. He thought that Gu Rubing was going to attack him.

"Don't be nervous, Your Majesty. I just wanted it to lose, but it won. I don't like disobedient people. No matter what the reason is, there is only one outcome for disobedience, and that is death!"

Liu Xie knew that Gu Rubing was talking about him, so he could only smile awkwardly and did not respond to Gu Rubing's words.

Seeing that Liu Xie didn't say anything, Gu Rubing smiled and didn't say anything else.

Seeing Liu Xie being humiliated, Wang Yue walked up to Gu Rubing and pointed the sword in his hand at him.

"Prince Lie, no matter what, you are the uncle of the Han Dynasty and His Majesty. Is it necessary for you to do this?"

"It is because I am the uncle of the Han Dynasty, and the uncle of His Majesty, that His Majesty is still sitting on the dragon throne. If I were not, he would be sitting below."

Gu Rubing's words left Wang Yue speechless.

After all, what he said was right. If Gu Rubing had not been fighting outside, according to Liu Xie's personality, he would have given up the Han Dynasty long ago.

"You two, the horse race is over, and you should go back. I have to go to the front line. I don't want any problems to arise while I'm away. Otherwise, I can guarantee that the Han Dynasty will no longer be the Han Dynasty, and the emperor will no longer be the emperor."

Wang Yue had no way to deal with Gu Rubing's threat. Looking at Zhang Fei standing next to Gu Rubing, Wang Yue could only give up.

Liu Xie nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Looking at Liu Xie's appearance, Wang Yue felt a little disappointed. The performance of this emperor was really bad.

After Liu Xie and his companions returned, Gu Rubing looked at Liu Xie's back with a sneer on his face.

"Brother, are we just going to let them go? That Wang Yue is very troublesome. I'm afraid those of us who stayed in Xudu are no match for Wang Yue."

"No rush, we still have other things to do. As for Wang Yue, I will deal with him after I finish my work."

"Something else? Are you going back to Jiaozhou?"

"Yes, Sun Jian sent a message saying he wants to see me. I have to go back."

Sun Jian had long known that Sun Shangxiang had been stopped by Gu Rubing, and this was originally one of his purposes.

What he didn't expect was that Gu Rubing actually gave Jiaozhou to Cao Cao. So even if he got Jiaozhou, what use would it be? It would still be illegal, and there would be some dissatisfied voices among the people.

This forced Sun Jian to find Gu Rubing.

A few days later, Gu Rubing returned to Cangwu County.

Zhuge Liang and others came out immediately.

"My lord, Sun Jian has come to Zhou Yu and has sent an envoy. I also have some good news. I think my lord will be very happy to hear it."

"What good news?"

Looking at Zhuge Liang's smiling face, Gu Rubing didn't know whether he would be happy to hear this news. In short, Zhuge Liang was indeed very happy now.

"We have received news from Liangzhou that Liu Zhang and Shi Xie have learned that we are short of medicinal materials and have agreed to donate medicinal materials, gold, silver, and horses free of charge. The first batch of medicinal materials will be delivered soon, and we will no longer be short of them by then."

This is indeed a good thing for Gu Rubing now.

As long as we have enough medicinal herbs, we will be able to fight against Sun Jian's Gu tribe.

Soon, Gu Rubing returned to his own house.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Sun Shangxiang coming towards me, followed by Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun saw Gu Rubing, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Liu Bei, when can I leave?"

"Oh? Miss Sun wants to leave? Sure, your father's messenger is here. I can hand you over to your father's messenger."

"No, I want to go by myself."

"That won't do. Everyone knows that Miss Sun is with me. If you leave and something happens, how will you let us explain it?"

Sun Shangxiang looked at Gu Rubing and gritted her teeth. She knew in her heart that Gu Rubing just didn't want to let her go, otherwise why would he stop her.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang turning away in anger, Gu Rubing smiled.

"Lord!"

Zhao Yun did not follow him, but came to Gu Rubing with a sad face.

"what happened?"

"Yun wants to go to the frontline battlefield and doesn't want to stay with this young lady. This person is a witch and never has a day of peace."

Zhuge Liang, who was standing by, sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

Apparently Sun Shangxiang was not only causing trouble for Zhao Yun, but also Zhuge Liang.

Looking at the two trump cards in his hand, both of them turned out to be like this, Gu Rubing felt helpless. He naturally knew the reputation of Sun Shangxiang.

However, she must have a legendary general accompanying her to ensure her safety and prevent them from escaping. Among the legendary generals in her hands, only Zhao Yun has a good temper. If she were handed over to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, they would probably become corpses within two days.

"Zilong, just bear with it for a while, it will be over soon."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded helplessly, turned around and followed Sun Shangxiang.

However, just after taking a few steps, he heard the sound of something breaking, followed by Sun Shangxiang's loud laughter.

Gu Rubing could only pretend that he didn't hear it and quickened his pace to leave. He felt helpless about Zhao Yun's experience.

Soon, Gu Rubing saw the messenger sent by Sun Jian.

What Gu Rubing did not expect was that the messenger was actually Sun Ce.

"I really didn't expect that the eldest son would condescend to be an envoy. It seems that Governor Sun has something important to tell me."

Sun Ce looked at Gu Rubing with a gloomy expression.

"Is my sister in your hands? How is she?"

"So it was for Sun Shangxiang. Since you want to see her so much, why don't you take her away? I met your sister by chance, and I was planning to send her back."

When Sun Ce heard that Gu Rubing actually wanted to send Sun Shangxiang back, he immediately shook his head.

"Father said that since we are here with King Lie, he feels relieved."

After Sun Ce said these words, he also felt very relieved. What does it mean to be relieved? No matter what, Liu Bei is also their enemy. How can he feel relieved to leave his daughter next to the enemy?
"Your father is really good at talking, but this person is with me, and I have to ensure her safety. You have to give something for this, right?"

"Of course, my father said that Cangwu County is given to you and we will not take it back. Also, my father wants to see you, and the time is set for tomorrow night."

"Cangwu County has always been mine, even the entire Jiaozhou should be mine. Sun Jian really dares to say that. Okay, tell your father that we will meet outside the city tomorrow night. I will tell him the location. Now go." Hearing Gu Rubing's words, Sun Ce wanted to refute something, but seeing Zhang Fei's serious and fierce look on the side, plus, this was someone else's territory, he naturally couldn't say anything and could only turn around and leave.

After Sun Ce left, Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing.

"My lord, Sun Jian is obviously using us and our status to deal with Cao Cao. In this case, we can threaten Sun Jian."

Gu Rubing nodded.

"By the way, Prime Minister, you said before that Liu Zhang and Shi Xie were willing to give us medicinal herbs, gold, silver, and horses. What's going on? Aren't they resting? Why did they suddenly show up?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang burst out laughing and told him everything.

It turned out that since the two of them followed the reputations of Sun Jian and Cao Cao, they quickly took control of the entire Parthian and Roman empires.

With the cooperation of Gu Rubing, they quickly took control of Liangzhou.

With this, the two men's reputations in the two empires reached their peak.

However, their reputations were noticed by Sun Jian and Cao Cao's spies, and they soon faced a crisis.

Cao Cao immediately sent people to Anxi to ask Liu Zhang to come back.

"Lord!"

Yan Yan arrived at the palace and saw Liu Zhang still looking at the map, so he hurried forward.

"Heber, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

"My lord, Cao Cao has sent someone here. What should we do? And it is said that the whole messenger wants us to go back."

"go back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang looked at Yan Yan and was also considering what to do.

After all, they had finally captured Anxi and taken control of it. If they just went back like this, all their efforts would be in vain.

"Where is the messenger?"

"It will take half a day to reach Nisa City, where the capital is located."

Liu Zhang looked at the map and hesitated.

"Let Surena take the cavalry and don't let the messenger come alive."

"Yes!"

At the same time, the same situation occurred on Shi Xie's side. Sun Jian's envoy was ambushed halfway and also died.

After receiving this news, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were very sure that these two people would definitely escape from their control.

However, the difference is that Sun Jian decided to send an envoy as usual. After all, he was under a lot of pressure now and had no way to declare war on Shi Xie.

But Cao Cao was different. He directly activated his own spies.

Since the envoy can't get through, let the spy be the envoy and question Liu Zhang directly in his own name.

Liu Zhang naturally thought of this. He had always known that there were Cao Cao's people on his side, but he never knew who they were. This time he had a good chance to find out who they were.

Soon, a group of people surrounded the palace.

Liu Zhang in the palace was not at all panicked by the whole situation.

Then, the palace gate opened.

A man walked in from outside.

When he saw who this person was, Liu Zhang frowned slightly.

This person is Surilas.

"What are you doing? I don't remember summoning you."

Even if he was prepared, it would be a lie for Liu Zhang to say he was not panicking when facing such an aggressive general.

"King, I am here on the orders of the governor of Caozhou to invite you back to the Han Dynasty."

"Cao Cao? What evidence do you have to prove that you were following his orders?"

"King, I don't need evidence. I am the evidence. I am the governor of Caozhou, your spy. I report your every word and action to him regularly. When you return, the position of king will be mine."

Looking at Surilas in front of him, Liu Zhang smiled. Others might not know him, Cao Cao, but he knew him very well. It was impossible for such a person to be valued by Cao Cao, let alone supported to become king.

"What do you want to do if I don't want to leave?"

"Then don't blame me, King. I didn't come here on my own this time."

After saying that, Surilas clapped his hands.

Immediately afterwards, countless personal guards rushed in and tried to capture Liu Zhang.

"How dare you touch the king?"

As the voice fell, Surena rushed out from around the palace with a group of cavalrymen, and Karin, with a large number of cavalrymen, also captured the people left outside by Surilas.

Seeing this, Surilas knew he had been fooled.

The personal guards under his command were indeed very powerful, but compared to the special forces, the Iron Cavalry, they were definitely not as strong as them.

Thinking of this, Surilas hesitated for a moment, and finally set his gaze on Liu Zhang.

Now the only way to break out is to hold Liu Zhang hostage.

After making the decision, Surilas immediately accelerated and rushed towards Liu Zhang before anyone could react.

By the time Surena reacted and wanted to provide support, it was too late.

Just when he was about to reach Liu Zhang, a knife was suddenly stretched out.

After all, Surilas was also one of the famous generals. He reacted immediately, dodged sideways and quickly retreated, keeping a safe distance.

"who?"

After Surilas finished speaking, he immediately looked behind Liu Zhang.

Yan Yan came out from behind.

Wu Lan and Li Yan followed behind him.

Seeing the appearance of these three people, Surilas knew in his heart that he would definitely die here this time, so he had to take out his last trump card.

"Everyone, I am following the orders of Caozhou Mu. Don't you even want to obey Caozhou Mu's orders?"

In response to this, Surena snorted coldly.

"Cao Cao? He is just using us as pawns and will abandon us at any time. He wants us to be his puppets. Why should we listen to such a person? The king led us to take Liangzhou and formed an alliance with Rome. He helped us so much. Why don't we listen to the king?"

Hearing this, Surilas looked at Liu Zhang on the throne, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and said nothing more.

Liu Zhang immediately nodded to Li Yan.

Li Yan drew his sword, rushed to Surilas, and cut off his head in front of everyone. (End of this chapter)
