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

Chapter 627 Wei Yi is arrested
This time, the five people didn't gain anything, and they could only worry about it.

It didn't take long for the five of them to return to the inn, ready to find a solution.

However, when they returned to the room, they found Wei Yi sitting in the room, as if waiting for them.

"Everyone, are you back?"

The five people nodded.

Zhang Fei was an impatient person, so he went straight to Wei Yi.

"Hey kid, didn't you say you would help us get some information? We've been waiting for you for a whole day, but you didn't show up. What information did you get?"

Guan Yu knew that this was Cao Cao's territory, and it was very difficult to find out information about Cao Cao. Wei Xi just had some business here, and it was not easy for him to be willing to help them find information.

"Second brother!"

After Guan Yu's rebuke, Zhang Fei sat aside.

"The Third General is indeed a man of temperament!"

After Wei Yi finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

"Everyone, although I haven't found out where Cao Cao hid the things, the generals should have searched Cao Cao's mansion. I don't think you found anything. Not only did you not find the things you were looking for, you didn't even find Cao Cao."

After hearing this, several people nodded.

"In fact, the moment the generals walked out of the inn, Cao Cao got the news and left quickly. The place Cao Cao went to was a warehouse under the city wall. The warehouse was shabby and didn't look special, but there were many hidden lines around the warehouse."

"I don't know if it's because Cao Cao is there."

When Wei Yi said this, he deliberately paused, obviously wanting them to find out.

Guan Yu also understood Wei Xi's meaning, and immediately took everyone and quickly left the inn.

It didn't take long for Guan Yu to reach the location of the warehouse. Just as Wei Yi said, there were many of Cao Cao's secret agents around the warehouse.

Guan Yu and others walked directly to the front of the warehouse.

Before they could make any move, they heard the sound of feather arrows and the sound of breaking wind behind them.

Huang Zhong was most sensitive to this kind of sound. He could even tell how far the arrow was from him and the direction of the archer just by feeling the sound of the wind.

Huang Zhong did not turn around. He waved his hand and three feather arrows appeared in his hand, and then he threw them behind him.

The three feather arrows returned to the original range, and their speed and power were even faster.

Immediately afterwards, three screams were heard, and three dark lines fell from the roof.

When Cao Cao learned that five people were actually outside the warehouse, he could no longer sit still and hurriedly led his men to rush over.

However, Cao Cao was still a step too late.

At this time, the five people had already arrived at the warehouse.

However, the five people discovered that there was only one potted plant in the huge warehouse, and the flower had only two petals.

"Is this Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

At this time, the five people realized that none of them knew about this thing.

"Forget it. There is only this flower here. Regardless of whether it is what we want or not, Cao Cao is willing to use a warehouse for this thing, and there are so many secret agents. It is enough to show how important this thing is to Cao Cao. Let's take it away first and see if Wei Xi recognizes it. If not, we can use this as capital to exchange for the snow lotus with Cao Cao."

After hearing Guan Yu's words, everyone nodded and prepared to leave.

"Everyone, I didn't invite you here, but you broke into my warehouse. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Seeing Cao Cao coming in, Guan Yu and others immediately put the potted plant behind them.

"Your warehouse? Let alone this small city of Chengdu, even in this world, is there any place that the five of us can't go to?"

"Humph, put down the snow lotus in your hands, otherwise you won't be able to leave today."

Guan Yu and others did not expect that what they had in their hands was actually snow lotus.

When Guan Yu learned that it was really snow lotus, he simply put the snow lotus aside.

The current situation clearly requires a fight.

Guan Yu was worried about the upcoming fight and accidentally destroyed the snow lotus.

Soon Dian Wei and others came over, and the six of them surrounded Guan Yu and his four companions, obviously intending to fight.

However, just as the two sides were about to fight, Cao Ren rushed over, came to Cao Cao's side, and said something in Cao Cao's ear.

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Guan Yu and others beside him.

After a long time, Cao Cao was reluctant to give the order.

"Let them go."

"Lord, we..."

Dian Wei was somewhat unwilling to let Guan Yu and his men go like this.

"I told them to go, didn't you hear me?"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei sighed helplessly and finally had to make way.

Guan Yu held Xuelian in his arms, looked at them warily, and slowly left the warehouse.

"My Lord, why did you let them go?"

Xu Chu came to Cao Cao somewhat unwillingly.

"What do you think I want? Even if you go all out, how many of them can you stop? And you know what? Zhuge Liang has already annexed 100,000 troops in Wuling County and Ba County respectively. It's obvious that he's going to start a war. My goal is to kill Liu Bei, not to let me fight Liu Bei's forces and let Sun Jian take advantage of me."

Hearing this, everyone sighed helplessly.

Guan Yu and others took Xuelian and sped up all the way. In less than a day, they returned to Guiyang County.

However, this is also the reason why Cao Cao ordered no one to stop Guan Yu and others.

After seeing Guan Yu and others return, Zhuge Liang also appropriately recalled some of the soldiers, otherwise there would inevitably be loopholes in the defense line against Sun Jian.

When Hua Tuo saw the snow lotus in Guan Yu's hand, he immediately laughed.

Then he picked a leaf and mixed it with some medicinal herbs and gave it to Gu Rubing to take.

after one day.

Gu Rubing opened his eyes.

I wanted to stand up from the bed, but found that I was completely powerless.

Lying on the bed, Gu Rubing smiled helplessly.

It hasn't been long since I was injured last time, and now I'm lying in bed again.

Is it because God thinks that I am too lucky that he creates all these troubles for me?
Gu Rubing smiled self-deprecatingly.

Soon the door opened and Sun Shangxiang walked in from outside.

When he saw Gu Rubing wake up, he immediately came to Gu Rubing.

"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"It's okay. Where's the military advisor? Please call him over for me."

"it is good!"

Not long after, Zhuge Liang walked in.

Following Zhuge Liang in were Zhao Yun and others.

Seeing that Gu Rubing had regained consciousness, Zhao Yun knelt directly in front of Gu Rubing.

"My lord, it is my fault for not protecting me well. Please punish me!"

"Zilong, get up. This time it's not your fault. I was careless." "Zhao Yun, this is the second time! The lord was injured because of your poor protection, and the time between them was so short. Don't you care about the lord's life?"

Seeing that Gu Rubing was fine, Zhuge Liang, no matter how good his temper was, finally couldn't help it.

"Military Advisor, this is my responsibility. No matter how the Military Advisor punishes Yun, Yun will not have any complaints."

"Come here, take Zhao Yun away and fight forty more battles."

"Yes!"

As the voice fell, two soldiers walked in.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Rubing immediately stopped Zhao Yun and the two soldiers.

"Military Advisor, can we blame Zilong for this? Someone wants to attack me every day. Even if we are on guard, there will be loopholes. We are all human, not gods."

Zhuge Liang naturally knew about this matter, but he couldn't just leave it alone for punishment, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the people.

"Forget it. Since my lord is begging for mercy, I'll just give him twenty."

"Yes!"

Soon, there were sounds of beating coming from outside the door, but Zhao Yun did not make a sound.

No one present pleaded for mercy for Zhuge Liang's punishment. After all, Zhao Yun had failed in his duty, and that was the fact.

Listening to the noises outside, Gu Rubing sighed helplessly.

As a legendary general, this attack would not hurt anyone at all, so Gu Rubing was not worried about anything.

What worried him most was the person who poisoned him.

"Military Advisor, has the person who poisoned you been caught?"

"No, based on what General Wenyuan and his men said after they came back, I concluded that someone must have sneaked into your team while you were in the city, took the opportunity to poison the lord, and then left in the chaos."

"When you were in the county?"

Gu Rubing didn't expect that this group of people had already started preparing at that time.

"But my lord, although we haven't found out who poisoned the city yet, it's clear that he did it to kill you. The only people who could have such a big grudge against you, apart from Cao Cao, are Sun Jian. But judging by the attitudes of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, they obviously didn't know about this, so I guess it could be the mysterious group that secretly massacred the city."

Gu Rubing also had such a guess.

"Let's investigate the origins of this group of mysterious people. It would be best if we can find some traces of them."

"Yes! Then I will go investigate now."

Even with a miraculous medicine like the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus, Gu Rubing still had to lie in bed for four full days before he was strong enough to get out of bed.

However, the first thing Gu Rubing did after getting out of bed was not to find out who poisoned him, but to save others.

"My lord, someone from the Wei family is coming."

Soon a person was brought in by Zhuge Liang.

"King Lie, please save the master!"

"Something happened to Wei Yi?"

"Yes!"

Soon, the man from the Wei family explained the whole cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that when in Yizhou, Wei Yi, despite the danger, contacted Guan Yu and others, and was discovered by Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao focused his main energy on Guan Yu and naturally ignored Wei Xi.

After Guan Yu left, when Wei Yi wanted to leave, he was caught by Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao did not make things difficult for Wei Yi. He just imprisoned him and released the news of his imprisonment to the people of the Wei family.

The Wei family tried to rescue them, but their plans were discovered by Cao Cao, and all the rescuers had died. There was really no other way, so the Wei family could only find Gu Rubing.

This matter was indeed related to him. If it weren't for the purpose of finding intelligence for Guan Yu and the others, Wei Yi would not have taken the risk.

"Don't worry, I will contact Cao Cao and bring your master back safely."

"Thank you, King Lie."

After the Wei family members left, Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing.

"My Lord, do we really want to meet Cao Cao? Cao Cao is bound to not let us go easily and will definitely make some excessive demands. Do we want to compromise?"

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Guess why Cao Cao didn't contact us directly after capturing the person like he did before, but instead told the Wei family first? The purpose is to let the Wei family find us. If we don't rescue the person, the Wei family will directly turn against us, and other families will see that we abandoned the Wei family so easily, and it will be even more impossible for them to stay calm."

"Okay, in that case, let's contact Cao Cao now."

Yizhou Chengdu.

After reading Gu Rubing's letter, Cao Cao showed a smile.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I finally got the upper hand this time. I want to see how you plan to break the deadlock this time."

After saying this, Cao Cao immediately gave orders for everyone to take action.

Gu Rubing received a reply from Cao Cao and planned to meet in Chengdu five days later. However, the reply did not say what Cao Cao wanted, nor did it say that he would release the person.

Gu Rubing also guessed Cao Cao's reply. This time the initiative was completely in Cao Cao's hands. Because of the Wei family, Gu Rubing was forced to lower his posture.

"Cao Cao, you'd better not go too far!"

Gu Rubing tore the letter in his hand into pieces and threw it into the brazier beside him.

The end of the year was approaching and the roads were difficult to travel, especially in Yizhou, where there were many mountainous roads and narrow paths. Cao Cao only gave five days, and Gu Rubing did not dare to delay, so he had to lead his men to set off immediately.

This time, Gu Rubing only brought Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao, as well as five hundred Iron Pagodas.

Zhuge Liang then led a large army and followed behind Gu Rubing.

After arriving in Chengdu, there was no one outside the city gate to greet them, and the city gate was closed tightly, with no one caring about Gu Rubing's presence at all.

"My Lord, do you want me to break down the city gate?"

"No need, we just wait."

Gu Rubing knew that Cao Cao was deliberately rejecting him in order to warn them.

Now that I am in a weak position, sometimes I have to be tolerant.

Everyone waited outside the city for two full hours before someone came out of the city.

Under the protection of a group of people, Xun Yu slowly walked out of the city.

"Your Highness, King Lie, I didn't expect you to come. Why didn't you send someone to inform us? If the soldiers guarding the city hadn't seen you coming, we wouldn't have known about it."

"Hmph, your city gates are tightly closed, how can we notify them? Caozhou Mu is so generous that he allows us to..."

Zhang Liao wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Rubing.

"Where is Cao Cao!"

"Please follow me, Your Highness. My master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Rubing nodded and followed Xun Yu to Cao Cao's mansion.

Just as everyone was about to go in, the soldiers at the door stopped Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun outside.

"What do you mean?"

After hearing Gu Rubing's words, Xun Yu hesitated.

"Your Highness, King Lie, in order to ensure the safety of both parties, my master said that only Your Highness can enter."
