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

It has been five days since the last time we almost caught that group of people, and there has been no movement from those mysterious people.

Gu Rubing also had a rare five-day good rest.

During these five days, Gu Rubing has been receiving treatment from Hua Tuo.

However, the good days did not last long, and Zhuge Liang appeared in front of Gu Rubing.

Seeing Zhuge Liang appear, Gu Rubing sighed helplessly. Zhuge Liang had not been here for a period of time, so he must have something to do now.

"My lord, I don't want to come to you either, but there is trouble coming to me. Something happened in Xudu. It seems that Wang Yue and others appeared around Xudu and are trying to get close to Your Majesty. Some of them were stopped by Chen Dao, but Chen Dao cannot guarantee that all of them are stopped."

"Chen Dao? What is Xu Rong doing? Isn't the safety of Xudu entrusted to Xu Rong? He is the only famous general in Xudu!"

"That's the second thing I want to say. Xu Rong was seriously injured in a sneak attack and is now recovering."

"Being ambushed? Who can ambushed a famous general?"

"According to the information we have found so far, it seems to be Wang Yue and a man named Shi A, who is said to be Wang Yue's apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing immediately understood that if something happened in Xudu, he must go back.

Facing Wang Yue and Shi A, one is the old sword master and the other is the new sword master. I am afraid that their strength has reached the level of famous generals. In this case, I will need at least a legendary general to deal with them.

"Prime Minister, please find Zhao Yun. I will go back to Xudu."

Zhuge Liang nodded. His idea was similar to Gu Rubing's. Facing Liu Xie, no one except Gu Rubing could meet Liu Xie. The most important thing was that their statuses were not equal.

However, Zhuge Liang did not agree with all of it. He disagreed with the fact that Gu Rubing still chose to bring only Zhao Yun this time. Zhuge Liang still felt a little scared when he thought about the last time Gu Rubing disappeared.

"My lord, please take the Iron Pagoda with you. With the Iron Pagoda and Zhao Yun, even if there is danger, you can leave safely."

Gu Rubing knew in his heart that the existence of Iron Pagoda was actually unnecessary, but looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, Gu Rubing finally chose to compromise.

Soon, Gu Rubing set off with Zhao Yun and Tiefutu.

Before leaving, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others warned Zhao Yun with their eyes that he must ensure Gu Rubing's safety.

After all, Zhao Yun had failed many times.

Zhao Yun had also made up his mind that this time, no matter what happened, he would not leave Gu Rubing's side.

This time, because there were too many people around me, the speed dropped a lot.

In two days, their team only managed to get out of Jingzhou.

Seeing that the next city was still quite far away, Gu Rubing simply decided to set up camp on the spot.

Soon Tiefutu became busy.

Zhao Yun simply stood behind Gu Rubing and looked around vigilantly.

"My Lord, the camp has been built, let's go in."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Gu Rubing nodded.

After entering the tent, Gu Rubing looked at the map on the table. He was still thinking about Cao Cao's Ba County.

It was almost midnight and Gu Rubing was ready to rest.

But at this moment.

A group of men in black suddenly appeared and instantly killed several Iron Pagodas guarding outside the camp. Then the group of people rushed directly into the camp, started making trouble everywhere and setting fires.

A camp of five hundred people was not very big.

The camp could not withstand an attack at all, but fortunately, those who came were Iron Pagodas, the real elite, and under the command of several centurions, they quickly launched a counterattack.

After driving out all the men in black, everyone immediately began to tidy up the tents.

This time, Zhao Yun had been guarding outside Gu Rubing's tent. No matter what was going on outside, he had no intention of going in to check. Instead, he looked around vigilantly. Even the centurion who wanted to enter the tent to report was stopped by Zhao Yun.

In the end, the centurion had no choice but to stand outside the tent and shout.

"My lord, we have already fought back the attackers. They left behind a few bodies. After checking, we found that they were Cao Cao's men because they seemed to be wearing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry uniforms under their night clothes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing walked out immediately.

"Take me to see it."

"Yes!"

The centurion nodded hurriedly and took Gu Rubing to where the bodies were placed.

Zhao Yun followed Gu Rubing closely, not daring to move away even a step.

Gu Rubing came to a corpse and looked at the armor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under the nightgown. Gu Rubing felt that something was wrong.

If he was really Cao Cao's man, how could he be discovered so easily? This is not in line with Cao Cao's character.

"This frame-up is too obvious. Do you think Cao Cao is such a fool?"

Hearing Gu Rubing's words, Zhao Yun immediately came over.

"My Lord, is there a problem?"

"Of course."

Gu Rubing pointed at the armor on these people.

"If they were sent by Cao Cao, how could they wear the armor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Moreover, wearing night clothes on top of the armor is very troublesome. They can't fully stretch out during the battle. With Cao Cao's intelligence, he must have figured out that the people gathered around me must be elite. Letting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry wear these things to cause trouble to me is the same as seeking death."

Zhao Yun also felt that what Gu Rubing said made sense.

"Alright, let's not make this matter public for now. We'll talk about it after we get to Xudu!"

"Yes!"

The next morning, Gu Rubing led everyone to Xudu.

In the following days, no one attacked them again, which made Gu Rubing even more certain that someone had deliberately framed them, and they must be in cahoots with those mysterious people.

However, after Gu Rubing entered Xu Du, he saw that everyone, including Lu Su, had their heads down, as if they had done something wrong.

"What's wrong with you?"

"My lord, something happened in the palace!"

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Looking at Lu Su walking over, Gu Rubing was full of confusion.

"My Lord, Xiaoling is dead."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

Then everyone knelt on the ground.

When Gu Rubing heard the news, he was struck by lightning and stood there for a long time without reacting.

It took a while for Gu Rubing to react.

All the scenes with Xiaoling appeared in front of Gu Rubing's eyes.

Big brother, are you leaving too?

Big brother, this is delicious, you should have some too!
"Who did it?"

"My Lord, this is still under investigation, so it's not clear yet!"

"I don't know. People are dead. You tell me you don't know. What do you do for a living?"

Gu Rubing's eyes were red at this time. Xiaoling's father died because of him. He thought that by bringing Xiaoling to his side, he could give her a lifetime of wealth and glory, but now he has even lost his life.

The deaths of this father and daughter were actually related to him.

It was the first time for them to see Gu Rubing so furious, and they all lay on the ground, pressing down even lower.

"My lord, we guess that it should be Wang Yue's men, because we captured Wang Yue's men before, and Xu Rong should have been injured by Wang Yue."

"Should, I don't need such shoulds. I want accurate information. Also, I want to go and see where Xiaoling's body is."

"Please follow me, my lord."

Soon, Lu Su brought Gu Rubing to Prince Lie's palace.

Gu Rubing also saw Xiaoling's body in the room that was originally prepared for her.

There was a bloody hole on Xiaoling's heart and a scar on her hand.

Gu Rubing grabbed Xiaoling's hand and was about to hold it when he found that Xiaoling's hands were clenched.

Curiously, Xiaoling opened her hands and a strand of golden hair slipped out of her hands.

Gu Rubing picked up the hair and looked at it carefully.

Lu Su also came to Gu Rubing.

"This……"

"Has anyone examined Xiaoling's body?"

"My Lord, Xiaoling's body must have been untouched by anyone. When we first found Xiaoling, she was like this. We knew you were coming back, so we didn't take any action. We will wait for you to come back before making a decision."

Gu Rubing frowned slightly when he heard this. Since no one had touched it, it meant that this was the message Xiaoling left for him before she died.

Yellow hair, this is not the hair that Han people have.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing suddenly thought of the West. Many people in that place had blond hair, the most obvious of whom was Surena.

"Could it be Liu Zhang's men?"

This was the second time Gu Rubing suspected Liu Zhang, but he had no evidence, which made Gu Rubing unsure of his suspicion.

Gu Rubing did not leave the room, but sat quietly beside Xiaoling's bed, wiping Xiaoling's face with a towel. Zhao Yun stood at the door, watching quietly.

Gu Rubing stayed in the room for a whole day before coming out.

At this time, Lu Su and others had already been waiting outside the door.

"Pass the order down. Xiaoling's funeral will be conducted according to the princess's regulations."

After hearing this, Lu Su hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward.

"My lord, according to the princess's rules, it's not a problem, but the problem is that we don't have a legitimate reason. If the people knew about it, I'm afraid they would make some assumptions about us."

Of course Gu Rubing thought of this.

"Soon, the emperor will announce to the people that Xiaoling is the emperor's sister."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Gu Rubing had made all the preparations, Lu Su was too lazy to say anything more.

Soon, Gu Rubing came to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong was lying on the bed. When he saw Gu Rubing coming, he wanted to get up from the bed, but after using a lot of strength, he had to give up in the end.

"Okay, just lie down here. Who attacked you?"

"I don't know either, but there are two people on the other side, both of whom are stronger than me, and they are both masters of swordsmanship. As far as I know, there are only two people who agree with these two points, one is Wang Yue and the other is Shi A."

Gu Rubing originally thought so, but based on the information Xiaoling gave him before her death, Gu Rubing now suspects that it was Liu Zhang's people who deliberately framed Cao Cao, Wang Yue and others.

As for sword masters, like Surena and others, they are also sword masters. As long as they have enough strength, it is not difficult to disguise themselves as masters.

"You stay here and take good care of your injuries. Don't worry about what's happening outside. I'll take care of it."

Gu Rubing was in the room. He chatted with Xu Rong for a while before turning around and leaving.

"My Lord, we have arranged Princess Xiaoling's funeral. As long as His Majesty's order arrives, we can bury her at any time."

"Okay, let's go to the palace."

Soon Gu Rubing brought Zhao Yun and Lu Su to the palace.

Liu Xie had received the news long ago and was waiting for Gu Rubing.

When he came in front of Liu Xie, Gu Rubing's face was frighteningly gloomy, which scared Liu Xie.

"King Lie, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, look, Xiaoling is dead!"

"I understand. It's such a pity. Xiaoling was a lively and lovely girl. She always made me happy in the palace. I was going to issue an edict to make Xiaoling a princess and bury her according to the standards of a princess."

"Really? If so, why did Your Majesty let Wang Yue kill Xiao Ling?"

When Gu Rubing said this, his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Kill Xiaoling? King Lie, what are you talking about? How could I possibly kill Xiaoling? She's just a little girl. She can't possibly pose any threat to me. And I just said that I like Xiaoling, too."

While Liu Xie was saying these words, Gu Rubing was looking at him.

It turned out that when Liu Xie said these words, there was only unwilling anger in his eyes, and nothing else. In other words, what Liu Xie said was true, and he had indeed misunderstood him.

At this time, Gu Rubing became more certain of his thoughts.

However, what Gu Rubing did not expect was that Liu Xie's evaluation of Xiaoling was so high.

"In this case, please issue an order, Your Majesty."

When Lu Su and others saw Gu Rubing coming out, they immediately stepped forward.

"My Lord, where are we going now?"

"Didn't you say, Chen Dao, that you captured a few of Wang Yue's men? Take me to see them."

Hearing this, Lu Su immediately took Gu Rubing to find Chen Dao.

Chen Dao brought them to the Sky Prison.

"My lord, those people are imprisoned in this place. They have all confessed. They are all Wang Yue's men."

Gu Rubing didn't say anything, but came to the front of those people.

These people were all sitting on the floor in the cell at this time, not saying a word to each other, it was unusually silent.

When they saw Gu Rubing coming, they all stood up tacitly.

"King Lie, we are all Wang Yue's people. We have all been bewitched by Wang Yue. Please let us go."

"Are you Wang Yue's men? If Wang Yue knew that his subordinates were a bunch of spineless people, wouldn't he be so angry that he would die?"

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, not knowing what Gu Rubing meant.

"You said that you are Wang Yue's people. Since you are Wang Yue's people, you should have had contact with His Majesty. Then, is your killing of Xiaoling also an order of love from His Majesty?"

"Of course, His Majesty said that the girl is your spy in the palace. His Majesty said that we must get rid of her, otherwise all our plans will be leaked."

"Is that so? Then your Majesty is really shameless. He actually laid hands on a child." (End of this chapter)
