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

Chapter 615 Gu Rubing was assassinated and disappeared!
Zhao Yun didn't like people saying bad things about Gu Rubing, but this time the person who said it was a commoner, and an old man at that. Zhao Yun was dissatisfied, but he could only suppress it.

"Old man, what you said is wrong. Lord... King Lie has always cared about the people. How come you don't care about the people? Such a statement will make King Lie feel disappointed."

"King Lie is disheartened? Aren't we disheartened too? Our village and several nearby villages are visited by bandits every day, and many villagers have died. What should we do? King Lie may have done a good job, but at least he is not good to us!"

It was the first time that Gu Rubing heard the people say bad things about him. Gu Rubing had always believed that he treated the people well, at least much better than other princes.

But this time, it really touched Gu Rubing's heart.

Finally, Gu Rubing decided to postpone his return to Xudu. He wanted to see how bold these bandits were.

"Old man, we know a little bit of martial arts. Let's go back with you and see how rampant these bandits are."

Seeing that Gu Rubing insisted, the old man had nothing to say and could only take Gu Rubing back to his village.

When the people in the village saw that the people who had been taken away had returned, no one had a smile on their face. Instead, they looked a little resentful. When they saw the villagers, they all stayed away from them.

"Don't worry about it, you two. Our return means the bandits will come again. You villagers are all scared, that's why you are like this."

Gu Rubing nodded and followed the old man to the mud house where he lived.

"My lord, I just checked the living conditions of the people. They are not very good. There is not even a wealthy family in the whole village. This is outside the city of Xudu. The living conditions should be better. It seems that the bandit problem here is more serious than we thought."

"Zilong, these bandits didn't catch anyone, so they should be able to find us tonight. Go to the nearest government office and get some people over. I want to see what the local government office says."

"But my lord, if Zilong leaves, your safety..."

"Just a bunch of bandits, there's nothing to worry about."

Seeing Gu Rubing speak so easily, Zhao Yun also felt that they were just a group of bandits. He should go there quickly and come back quickly, and he would definitely be able to get back before dark.

"My lord, please be careful. Dragon, please come back soon."

After saying this, Zhao Yun turned and left.

The old man didn't care about Zhao Yun's departure, and enthusiastically brought Gu Rubing to the chair.

"Young Master, you are obviously from a wealthy family. I don't have anything to entertain you at home. Please don't be angry."

"You're welcome, old sir!"

The two talked for a while.

The village became chaotic.

Gu Rubing didn't expect that these bandits would come back so soon.

"Sir, please leave quickly. They are very powerful. We villagers can hold them off for a while. Please leave quickly!"

The old man pushed Gu Rubing and turned to walk outside.

Looking at the old man's back, Gu Rubing smiled. They were just a bunch of bandits. How strong could they be? He didn't care about their strength.

Gu Rubing followed the old man out directly.

However, when he saw these robbers, Gu Rubing's eyes suddenly widened.

There were three first-rate generals, ten second-rate generals, and even a famous general, but this general had his face covered with a black scarf so no one knew who he was. But one could tell at a glance that he was the leader of this group.

"This, damn, are all the famous generals running around? Are they all running here to stop the bandits? No one wants to give it to me!"

Gu Rubing muttered softly.

An old man standing by saw Gu Rubing actually following him out.

"Sir, what are you doing? Why did you come out here? Go back! Run!"

Gu Rubing now understood that these bandits were really strong. He also wanted to leave, but for some reason, he felt like he was being targeted.

All the bandits gathered the villagers together.

The leader actually walked past the crowd and went straight towards Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing was also a man who had been on the battlefield for many years. The bloody smell unique to the battlefield actually surrounded Gu Rubing at this moment.

This kind of bloody smell would never appear unless more than a hundred people have been killed, and it must be the kind of battle that has truly experienced life and death.

Gu Rubing immediately felt something was wrong, and he said that this famous general was not an easy target and would not come as he pleased.

It is obvious that this person should know me and come here for me.

Gu Rubing immediately hid in the crowd, moved in front of one of the bandits, suddenly pulled out a bandit's knife, and cut the bandit's throat with the knife.

Blood spurted out directly.

These villagers had seen many deaths, but they had never seen such a bloody scene.

Seeing this moment, no one was calm as the hot blood spilled on their bodies.

Gu Rubing took advantage of the crowd's panic and turned around and ran.

He ran into the nearest woods in a few steps.

With the disappearance of Gu Rubing, the famous general also stopped.

He directed his men to slowly gather the panicked villagers.

Gu Rubing hid in the woods nearby, but did not leave. Instead, he hid in a high place and watched quietly.

The opponent is too powerful, far beyond his ability, and it is his instinct to run away. However, as the King Lie, he cannot really leave. Once the people are in danger, he will have to stand up. However, this can at least buy Zhao Yun some time. When Zhao Yun comes back, he is just a famous general and can be reduced to ashes in minutes.

However, what made Gu Rubing curious was that even though he made such a big noise, the bandits did not attack the villagers, but instead took the villagers away as they did before.

Gu Rubing was a little curious and wanted to go over to take a look. When he was about to get up, a voice appeared behind him.

"Your Highness, Prince Lie, are you ready to leave now? Do you want to go and take a look?"

When Gu Rubing heard the voice, he froze in place.

But he soon discovered that the voice seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Gu Rubing turned around and looked at the person behind him, his eyes widened instantly.

"Wang Yue!"

Gu Rubing turned around and ran without thinking.

However, after running a few steps, Gu Rubing felt a strong wind behind him.

Having been on the battlefield for many years, how could I not know this feeling? This is the threat of death.

Gu Rubing knew that with the opponent's speed, he would definitely not be able to avoid it this time, so he simply placed his hands behind his back.

Wang Yue's sword pierced Gu Rubing's palm.

Gu Rubing endured the pain and used his palm to forcibly twist the position of Wang Yue's sword.

Even so, Wang Yue's sword pierced through Gu Rubing's body.

Gu Rubing gritted his teeth, rolled on the ground, and pulled Wang Yue's sword out of his body, then rushed quickly in one direction.

Wang Yue quickly caught up with him and soon forced Gu Rubing to the edge of the cliff.

"King Lie, come with me, I won't kill you."

Gu Rubing covered his wound and looked at Wang Yue in front of him.

"Who are you doing this for? Liu Xie? Or Cao Cao?"

"I am only allied with Cao Cao, and I am only loyal to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty? Am I a threat to Your Majesty? Compared to threats, I'm afraid Cao Cao is much more threatening than me, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Yue fell silent.

He had to admit that Gu Rubing would definitely be a good emperor, let alone King Lie, and would definitely be much better than Liu Xie. But no matter what, Liu Xie was the emperor, and he was helping the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not an individual.

"King Lie, don't worry, follow me, I won't kill you. As long as your men can surrender to the emperor and hand over all military power to the emperor, I guarantee that you will live."

"You want me to surrender? Haha..."

After laughing a few times, Gu Rubing looked at the cliff behind him and the river below the cliff.

"In the Han Dynasty, there are only fierce kings who died in battle, but no fierce kings who surrendered!"

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he jumped off the cliff.

Wang Yue rushed over immediately and tried to catch Gu Rubing.

If Gu Rubing died, his plan would be in vain. Without Gu Rubing's orders, how could his men obey Liu Xie? If things went wrong, his men would rush into the palace and become emperor, and then the Liu family's kingdom would really change hands.

No matter how much Gu Rubing and Liu Xie fought, it was a fight between their families. The Han Dynasty would always belong to the Liu family. But if an outsider took action, then the Han Dynasty...maybe even the Han Dynasty would be gone.

When Zhao Yun rushed back to the village with a group of soldiers, he only saw blood at the entrance of the village. As for the villagers in the village, they had all disappeared.

Seeing the scene before him, even a fool would know what was happening, but what Zhao Yun was most worried about was the missing Gu Rubing.

Zhao Yun immediately dispersed his soldiers and began to look for Gu Rubing. However, Zhao Yun did not say that Gu Rubing was missing. He just asked them to find out if there was anyone else nearby.

But after searching for a while, the soldiers finally found only a pool of blood left by Gu Rubing in the woods.

When Zhao Yun got the news and rushed to the woods, he was stunned.

He really didn't know that the pool of blood belonged to Gu Rubing, but there were also pieces of broken clothes next to the blood, and it could be seen later that these pieces belonged to Gu Rubing.

The silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand fell directly to the ground, and he knelt in front of the blood.

"General, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhao Yun's abnormal behavior, the soldiers around him didn't know what was going on and looked at Zhao Yun with confusion. It was just a villager who died. Zhao Yun was the god of war in the army, so why did he behave like this?

Zhao Yun also realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately picked up the silver spear, stood up, and looked at everyone around him.

"Go find them immediately. No matter who is around, bring them to me alive."

"Yes."

All the soldiers moved immediately.

Zhao Yun followed the blood on the ground and finally found the cliff at the top of the mountain.

Having been in the killing fields for many years, he has some knowledge of blood. The blood was not much along the way, and it can be seen that there was no injury to the vital parts. The blood disappeared when he reached the top of the mountain, which meant that Gu Rubing jumped off the cliff.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then immediately called over his soldiers, wrote some letters, handed them to a soldier, and stared at the soldier with a serious expression.

"Give this letter to the Prime Minister of Guilin County. Remember, you must give it to the Prime Minister. You must give it to the Prime Minister! And notify Xudu. Find Xu Rong and Lu Su and tell them that the person is missing. Zhao Yun said so. But Zhao Yun will be responsible for finding him back."

The soldier nodded, but he didn't know who the missing person was. He just followed what Zhao Yun said.

After doing all this, Zhao Yun jumped directly from the cliff in front of everyone and fell into the river.

The soldiers were shocked by Zhao Yun's behavior, and they all ran to the edge of the cliff and looked at the river below.

When they saw Zhao Yun sticking his head out and nothing happened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldier followed Zhao Yun's instructions and started delivering the letter and arranged for someone to notify Xu Du.

after one day.

Xu Du was the first to receive the notice. They had known for a long time that Gu Rubing was coming back and that Zhao Yun would be with him. Because of the presence of such a legendary general, no one was worried about Gu Rubing's safety. In addition, this was not the first or second time that Gu Rubing had come back alone. But this time, the people who were prepared still did not see Gu Rubing and Zhao Yun coming, and Lu Su felt that something might have happened.

Just when he was about to go look for him, he received a notification from Zhao Yun.

The entire Xudu generals and military advisors were in chaos.

Lu Su was silent for a long time and immediately issued an order.

"Everyone, do not tell anyone about the lord's disappearance. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed!"

Those present were all Gu Rubing's trusted generals, so naturally no one would say anything.

"Xu Rong, gather the soldiers and search all around the place where the lord disappeared. Also, have Chen Dao take some of the Bai Li soldiers and join the search team."

"Yes!"

"Also send someone to contact the Captain of the Roving Crossbows and tell the Prime Minister the news, and let him take charge of the situation. I really don't understand how the Captain of the Roving Crossbows works. They don't even know that the lord is missing. What's the use of such an informant?"

Lu Su issued orders one after another in an orderly manner, and the entire Xu Du was put into action.

Zhuge Liang received the news three days later.

And there are two messages, both talking about the same thing.

That is, Gu Rubing was assassinated and disappeared, and Zhao Yun is currently looking for him.

Not only Zhuge Liang received the news, but also the four legendary generals present.

"Brother is missing? How could this happen? What does Zilong do for a living?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei turned around and prepared to leave.

"General San, where are you going?"

Zhuge Liang immediately called Zhang Fei to stop.

Guan Yu, who was standing aside, had turned his red face into purple due to his anger and murderous intent.

"Prime Minister, my eldest brother is missing. Is there something wrong with us going to look for him?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Yu and his heart beat rapidly.

Guan Yu's expression at this moment, coupled with his red eyes that were suppressing his anger, and his murderous eyes, were like an Asura killing god, looking at him.

Seeing this kind of look, not to mention Zhuge Liang, even Ma Chao and Huang Zhong who were present could not help but take a few steps back.

Huang Zhong was older and had a better mentality. He reacted quickly and hurriedly stood in front of Zhuge Liang to help Zhuge Liang block some of the evil spirit emanating from Guan Yu.
