Chapter 606 Eyeliner Exposed
Gu Rubing stood outside the bamboo forest and had no intention of going in.

He was waiting, waiting for someone to come and see him.

Not long after, a voice appeared behind Gu Rubing.

"Your Highness Prince Lie is already here, why not go in directly instead of here?"

"I’m waiting for you!"

Gu Rubing turned around and looked behind him, but the person behind him really surprised him.

This person turned out to be Xie Feng from the Xie family.

Gu Rubing didn't expect that there really was someone from the Xie family who slipped through the net.

"I didn't expect that the person who caused so many problems was you. Tell me, where is His Majesty?"

"Your Highness, you haven't even entered yet, how can I tell you where His Majesty is?"

Gu Rubing sneered and walked straight into the bamboo forest.

After learning that the person in front of him was Xie Feng, Gu Rubing thought that the people in Xie Feng's hands were nothing more than the remaining assassins of the Xie family. However, when he walked in, Gu Rubing discovered that there were more than just assassins here.

When Gu Rubing learned from the bandit leader that this sudden appearance of people under the slogans of Cao Cao and Sun Jian was a pretext, he thought it was an excuse. But now, in addition to the remaining death squads of the Xie family, there were also the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry standing in front of him. Judging from the scale, there were actually a total of one thousand people.

Among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, there were Wang Yue and others who protected Liu Xie.

"It's really lively today. There are so many people."

Gu Rubing sat leisurely on the stone bench, looking at the people in front of him and simply ignoring their murderous gazes.

"King Lie, today is the day you die. You killed more than 200 people from my Xie family. Today I want to avenge them."

After saying that, Xie Feng just waved his hand.

Countless assassins rushed towards Gu Rubing.

However, Gu Rubing didn't care about these people at all.

A assassin rushed to Gu Rubing, swung the knife in his hand, and slashed directly at Gu Rubing.

At this moment, a silver spear suddenly appeared and knocked the knife in front of him away.

Then a silver dragon appeared in the air, silver light flashed, and all the dead soldiers' bodies were shattered at this moment.

Xie Feng, who was standing aside, watched all this with wide eyes.

Zhao Yun had already come to Gu Rubing's side at this time.

"Zhao Zilong, this is not... impossible. I saw you come out by yourself. Zhao Yun didn't follow you."

"Really? Do you think you can keep an eye on a legendary general? Are you too young to be keeping an eye on a legendary general?"

Gu Rubing smiled, then took out a flare and shot it into the sky.

A sharp sound pierced the night sky, and then countless flames appeared around the bamboo forest.

"This...what's going on with these people? When did you set them up around here?"

Xie Feng had no idea what was going on. On their side, they had two famous generals, as well as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which were known as Cao Cao's elite troops. Xie Feng originally thought that everything was under his control, but where did these people come from?

Soon, the people hiding in the dark rushed out.

What no one expected was that these people did not look like Liu Bei's regular troops, but instead looked like bandits.

Although these people are numerous, their overall strength is not high. With the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry around, there is no need to worry about these bandits.

But what really matters to them is the existence of Zhao Yun.

"Zhao Zilong is also a general known for his benevolence and righteousness. Liu Bei pretended to be benevolent and righteous and killed more than 200 members of my family. Don't you have any objection at all?"

There was no way to deal with Xie Feng, who actually wanted to win over Zhao Yun at this time.

However, just as he finished his words, Zhao Yun shot him through the chest.

"My lord, is it your turn to give orders?"

With the death of Xie Feng, the entire Xie family was completely destroyed.

Gu Rubing looked at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry present.

"Now that you are here, don't think about leaving."

As soon as Gu Rubing finished speaking, Zhao Yun swung the spear in his hand.

A silver light flashed, and in an instant, the thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were cut in half.

Wang Yue and others who were hiding nearby couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw the power of the shot.

When Wang Yue saw Gu Rubing for the first time, he was nervous, but that was just nervousness. There was no fear in his heart. In Wang Yue's view, if he couldn't beat him, he could still leave. No one in Xu could stop him.

It was also for this reason that Wang Yue dared to contradict Gu Rubing several times.

Even when facing Zhang Fei, Wang Yue felt that he might be able to fight, but at most he would be seriously injured and escape.

But when facing Zhao Yun, Wang Yue felt only helplessness.

At least I can't kill a thousand people with one shot.

By the time the bandits arrived, the only ones still standing were Liu Xie and his men.

These bandits don't know the emperor, they only obey Gu Rubing.

Seeing the bandits surrounding him, Liu Xie finally became a little scared.

"I am the emperor. What are you going to do? If you take another step forward, I will kill and cook all your clansmen."

However, it would have been better if these words had not been said. Once they were said, they actually touched the pain points in the hearts of these robbers.

A bandit raised his knife and shouted at Liu Xie.

"If we still have the Nine Clans, why would we come here to be bandits? Brothers, kill this guy."

After saying that, a group of bandits rushed directly towards Wang Yue and his men.

Wang Yue could only smile bitterly at this. Although this emperor had also suffered a lot, he finally did not understand the hearts of the people. They had become bandits, so why would they care about the so-called nine clans?

Looking at the chaotic battle, Zhao Yun on the side looked at Gu Rubing with some concern.

"My lord, there are so many bandits. I'm afraid Wang Yue and his men won't be able to stop them. If they hurt Your Majesty, how are we going to explain to the people in three days?"

Gu Rubing nodded, thinking that what Zhao Yun said made sense, and then clapped his hands.

Hearing the sound, all the bandits calmed down.

A bandit leader that Gu Rubing was familiar with came to Gu Rubing with a smile.

"King Lie, do you think my performance this time is okay?"

"Well done. I didn't expect you to actually gather all the bandits around. From now on, you can gather around Xudu. If you need money, I'll give you money. If you need food, I'll give you food. There's only one thing: don't let others know about you and don't go out to rob again."

"Yes, King Lie, don't worry, we won't do robbery anymore."

The bandits around him also laughed. Gu Rubing looked at Wang Yue and the others who were panting, and walked forward with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we have had enough fun and noise, isn't it time to return to the palace?"

Liu Xie originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the murderous look in Gu Rubing's smiling face, Liu Xie's tone softened instantly.

"Okay, I'll go back to the palace!"

Wang Yue on the side sighed, and when he was about to follow them back, Gu Rubing suddenly looked at them.

"You guys have lost His Majesty, and you still want to live? Zhao Yun, take action."

As soon as Gu Rubing's voice fell, the silver spear was inserted into the middle of the crowd.

Soon Wang Yue discovered that there were casualties behind them.

"withdraw."

Wang Yue shouted and rushed into the bamboo forest with a few people.

Zhao Yun immediately chased after him.

They were just a group of killers, and they could definitely not be Zhao Yun's opponents. Gu Rubing took Liu Xie and slowly walked towards them.

However, after taking a few steps, he saw Zhao Yun coming back.

"Zilong, so fast?"

"My lord, I failed."

"Failed?"

Gu Rubing never imagined that Zhao Yun, a legendary general, would fail when he went to hunt down several famous generals.

"My lord, when I was chasing them, I met an old acquaintance, Xu Chu. I was worried that this was Cao Cao's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I hurried back."

"Xu Chu is here too?"

Gu Rubing was a little confused. He had planted quite a few spies on Cao Cao's side, so how come there was no news at all? Cao Cao had mobilized a legendary general and a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but his spies were like dumb.

"Let's go back and talk."

Soon, the group quickly entered the city.

After entering the city, Gu Rubing found Lu Su first and asked Lu Su to contact his spies in Yizhou.

Afterwards, Gu Rubing personally sent Liu Xie to the palace.

"Uncle, we are all members of the royal family, why do you want to imprison me? I can leave now. After I leave, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Then you can legitimately inherit the throne. Isn't this good for you?"

"Your Majesty, I stopped you to protect you. Do you think Cao Cao would let you live in seclusion in the mountains? Or do you think Wang Yue alone can save you from Cao Cao's clutches? Obviously, both are impossible. What kind of life did you lead with Cao Cao? What kind of life did you lead with me? Don't you understand, Your Majesty?"

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, Gu Rubing suddenly remembered.

"In two days, I will take Your Majesty to the streets to see what to say and what not to say."

After saying this, Gu Rubing turned around and left, leaving Liu Xie sitting on the dragon couch, in a daze.

Two days later, Gu Rubing brought Liu Xie out of the palace, surrounded by a group of Bai Li soldiers led by Chen Dao.

When the people saw that Liu Xie was really fine, they all smiled.

Gu Rubing had not expected that even though the war was still going on and the royal family had become a puppet, there were still so many people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty. No wonder Cao Cao did not kill Liu Xie at the time.

After the parade, Gu Rubing took Liu Xie back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, you performed very well this time. I hope that Your Majesty can keep doing this and not have any other ideas. Otherwise, I will feel very troubled. What I hate most is trouble. I prefer to solve trouble."

After Gu Rubing left, Liu Xie clenched his fists. He really didn't want to be someone else's puppet anymore, but seeing that he had finally come here with nothing, Wang Yue was now missing.

"Am I really not a good emperor?"

When Gu Rubing returned to Prince Lie's palace, he saw Lu Su coming to him in a hurry.

"My lord, I followed your orders and sent people to Yizhou to contact our spies, but there was no response. Later, our people saw the bodies of several spies in a mass grave in Yizhou. According to our people's speculation, our spies in Yizhou are probably dead."

"All dead? How is this possible?"

Gu Rubing's eyes widened. He had spent a lot of time planning his layout in Yizhou. Since the time of Liu Zhang, his spies had already established a foothold in Yizhou. Now Cao Cao had just taken over for a short time. How could he possibly have the ability to get rid of all these spies?

"My lord, we don't know what happened, but I have sent a new batch of spies to Yizhou. I think it won't be long before news comes out from Yizhou."

Gu Rubing nodded.

After sorting out the affairs in Xu Du, Gu Rubing took Zhao Yun and rushed to the front line.

By the time Gu Rubing arrived, Zhuge Liang had been waiting outside the city for a long time.

"The Prime Minister is very busy, there is no need for him to wait for me outside the city."

"My Lord, Miss Sun is here."

"Hmm? Which Miss Sun?"

"She is Cao Zhang's wife!"

"Sun Shangxiang? Didn't she marry Cao Zhang? Why is she here again?"

"Liang doesn't know either, but she came to look for you. If I hadn't stopped her, she might have gone to Xudu to look for you."

Gu Rubing was bewildered. Did Sun Shangxiang come to see him because something happened to Cao Zhang? Even if something happened, she should go to Cao Cao or Sun Jian. Why did she come to him?

"Also, lord, something happened in Yizhou!"

Gu Rubing's face changed when he heard this, and he followed Zhuge Liang into a room.

There was a man lying in the room, his body covered with wounds and one of his legs was chopped off.

When the man saw Gu Rubing coming, he wanted to get out of bed immediately, but was stopped by Gu Rubing.

"No need to salute, who are you?"

"King Lie, this is the Lower Crossbow Captain, Wu Quan."

"Are you the roving crossbow commander of Yizhou?"

Gu Rubing just remembered it when he heard the name. He seemed to have the impression that there was such a person.

"Yes, lord. I risked my life to rush out. All the spies in Yizhou were discovered by Cao Cao's men and died. No one escaped. I was also spreading the message, but before I could return, I saw my brothers being captured and hiding outside the city. That was the only chance I had to come back."

"In the end what happened?"

"Originally the brothers hid well and were doing the same as usual. Later we found that a group of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly left the camp and headed in the direction of Xudu. We were worried that something might happen, so the brothers prepared to pass on the information. As a result, most of the people were caught as soon as they left the camp.

"I was also shot by a rain of arrows while running, and fell off a cliff and passed out. When I woke up and wanted to go back to the city, I saw that all the spies had been arrested and killed."

"How did Cao Cao know who you all belong to?"

"I don't know about this either, but we have heard some news that Cao Cao's intelligence organization seems to have changed people. We don't know the specific name, it seems to be confidential. The exposure of Yizhou's spy should also be related to this person. In addition, according to our latest intelligence, it seems that Cao Cao sent a group of spies to enter our place. The specific number is unknown."
