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

Liu Zhang knew that this time should be different, so he gave Surena the power.

As a result, in less than a month, Surena returned with 90,000 troops, leaving only 10,000 troops for himself, including all the special troops in his hands.

When Liu Zhang asked the other 10,000 people where they were going, Surena did not tell him clearly.

But soon, he received countless food and supplies, most of which came by water. At that time, Liu Zhang realized that the 10,000 people had long been divided up by Surena and finally entered the Central Plains.

After these people arrived in the Central Plains, they began to stir up various conflicts among the three major princes and became the most mysterious people hidden deepest.

As for why Surena had this change, it was entirely because of one of Surena's skills.

The name of this skill is learning.

Anything Surena saw or heard, as long as he wanted, he could start to learn it, change it into his own way and use it.

What Surena practiced was the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation that Zhuge Liang had used before.

Although the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation used by Surena was of a different form, its power was no less than that of Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, Liu Zhang felt that if Zhuge Liang's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and Surena's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation were put together, it was obviously two different feelings.

Zhuge Liang's looks more majestic, and the scene is grand, giving people a strong sense of pressure.

Surena's Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation did not require as many people as Zhuge Liang did. In fact, at least a few dozen people would be enough to form it. But for some reason, looking at Surena's Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, there was a depressing feeling. The moment the formation was set up, it gave people a feeling of depression, as if one was living in the sun and the other was living in a dark corner. Even Liu Zhang felt that Surena's Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation looked a little weirder than Zhuge Liang's.

"king!"

Surena's voice pulled Liu Zhang out of his memories.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I mean, we should go, and we should go openly. What do you think?"

"What can I mean? Since you have decided to go, then go ahead."

The two of them quickly packed up and set off immediately.

In order to pretend to be sincere, Liu Zhang deliberately did not bring anyone with him, and only entered Liangzhou with Surena.

Taishi Ci had been waiting at the city gate.

When he saw the two people appear, Taishi Ci immediately went to greet them.

"King Yi, why don't you bring any guards with you? Aren't you afraid that something might happen on the way?"

"What's the matter? I came to see His Majesty and King Lie, why do I bring so many people? Besides, isn't this all King Lie's territory? In King Lie's territory, do I need to worry about my safety?"

Liu Zhang's words seemed to be harmless, but Taishi Ci could hear that there was a hint of threat in them.

"Don't worry, King Yi. There will be no danger in the lord's territory."

Although Taishi Ci said this, he knew very well in his heart that there might not be too many threats along the way, but he would still often encounter bandits and the like. After all, there is no absolute safety no matter where you are.

But Liu Zhang only had Su Reina by his side. If they really encountered a large number of bandits, it would be difficult for him to explain to Gu Rubing if anything happened to Liu Zhang.

Thinking of this, Taishi Ci could only hand over the matter of city defense to his deputy general, and he himself would take some people to escort Liu Zhang personally.

When Surena saw Taishi Ci's arrangement, a smile appeared on his face.

All current actions are within his calculations.

Under Taishi Ci's protection, the group encountered no danger along the way and finally arrived outside the city of Xu Du.

According to regulations, they could only wait outside the city without being summoned.

When Gu Rubing learned that they had arrived, he immediately hung the assassin's head on the city wall.

Liu Zhang and Surena, who were waiting outside, both looked unhappy after seeing the assassin's head.

Taishi Ci didn't react much.

Soon, Gu Rubing came out with Zhao Yun.

"Yi Wang, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Seeing Gu Rubing appear, Taishi Ci immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of Gu Rubing.

"My lord, I saw that King Yi had no guards around him and that the journey was not very safe, so I brought King Yi here."

"It's okay, Ziyi is here, let's go in together."

After saying that, Gu Rubing walked straight in with a few people.

On the way, Liu Zhang looked at the assassin's head and hesitated.

"King Lie, I saw a head hanging on the wall of Xudu. I wonder who this person is?"

"Ah, that one you're talking about. That's an assassin, but the information he told me is more interesting to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come here, and his head wouldn't be worthy of appearing on the city wall of Xudu."

"News? What news?"

Liu Zhang didn't know about the assassins, but Surena knew it very well. Everything those so-called mysterious men did in the Central Plains was under Surena's command. He also knew how many people were sent into the palace and who they were. The assassin's head on the city wall was clearly one of the desperate criminals he had gathered in the local area.

"As for this news, I will tell you later. But it's quite interesting that all this news is actually related to you."

When Liu Zhang heard this, some cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he wiped it off without leaving any trace.

Soon, the group arrived at Prince Lie's Palace.

After sitting down, Gu Rubing looked at Liu Zhang.

"King Yi, I wonder if there is any trouble in the Anluo Empire?"

"Thanks to King Lie, the empire is relatively stable and nothing has happened."

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll just say it directly. You're safe there, but I'm not. There were quite a few assassins around me a while ago. Even my subordinate Xu Rong is still lying in bed. My sister was also killed by the assassins. I wonder if King Yi has heard about this?"

"We just got here, how could we possibly know about this?"

"Is it?"

Gu Rubing smiled and then clapped his hands.

Lu Su walked in from outside with a written complaint in his hand.

Gu Rubing took a look and put the testimony in front of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang saw that it was all about his arrangements in the Central Plains. Of course, these things were not done by him, but were directed by Surena. However, he still knew about several major events, such as the kidnapping of Sun Shangxiang and some things about the assassination of Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang put down the testimony in his hand and looked at Gu Rubing. He found that Gu Rubing was looking at him with very sharp eyes.

"King Lie, what do you mean by this? This is clearly a false accusation against Ai You. How could we be so capable? Didn't you know our fighting power at the beginning? If we were that powerful, how could so many people have died?"

Hearing this, Gu Rubing smiled, then folded the testimony in his hand neatly and put it away.

"Don't worry, King Yi, I don't really believe what he said, so I called you here just to prove it."

"Proof? How to prove it?"

Liu Zhang still didn't understand what Gu Rubing meant.

However, as Gu Rubing's voice fell, Zhao Yun walked in with several soldiers.

"King Yi, I'm sorry, but it's not safe in Xudu City right now. So in order to ensure your safety, please follow our arrangements."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zhang looked at Gu Rubing in confusion. How could he not understand what Gu Rubing meant? He wanted to put them under house arrest.

"It's meaningless. Didn't I tell you? Recently, there are often killers and assassins around me. In order to ensure your safety, you must stay away from me, so you can't live in Prince Lie's Mansion."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun took the two men out of the City Lord's Mansion without giving any explanation, regardless of what Liu Zhang and the others wanted to say.

Zhao Yun had no intention of hiding this scene. The people around him all saw it. Liu Zhang and Surena were captured.

Outside Xudu City.

The village chief and a group of people gathered together.

"We have received news from the city that the king and the marshal have been captured. We must rescue them."

In a house.

Liu Zhang and Surena sat on the chairs and looked at the door. At this time, two Bai Li soldiers were guarding the door.

"King, we cannot stay here."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zhang looked at Surena in confusion. He knew that he was imprisoned, but he did not figure out what Gu Rubing wanted to do, nor did he understand the meaning of Gu Rubing's actions.

After all, no matter what, he is the King of Yi, the King of the Same Rank, and he still has a status second only to the King in the Han Dynasty. Gu Rubing has no legitimate reason, so even if he imprisons himself, he must release him in a few days. Otherwise, the people's reaction will be very strong, and this will be a blow to Gu Rubing's reputation.

"King, we may have been tricked this time. All that Liu Bei knew was based on the assassin's interrogation before his death. Who can believe the assassin's words? Even if Gu Rubing believed it and wanted to attack us, this reason is too far-fetched."

"But now the news of our imprisonment has been seen by everyone. Our people hiding in the dark must have seen it too. If they think Liu Bei is going to attack us, they will definitely come to rescue us. The people ambushing around are all our elites, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not low. If they come to rescue us at that time, our people ambushing in the dark will be exposed."

After hearing what Surena said, Liu Zhang finally realized that he had indeed been tricked this time.

The words of an assassin were not worthy of trust, but what if a group of assassins said something? Once it was proven that the assassins were from the Anluo Empire, the reason why the Anluo Empire had low combat effectiveness would be self-defeating.

Once Liu Bei realized that it was the Anluo Empire that had been attacking him all along, he would definitely not let him go.

Liu Zhang was also a little panicked at this time.

"Then what should we do next?"

Liu Zhang was at a loss at this time.

"King, we must find a way to spread the news here. We can't let anyone outside take action. I observed that there are only a few soldiers guarding the area. As long as you can lead them over, I will knock them out and we will be able to notify them."

"it is good."

Just when the two made up their minds and were ready to act, a person appeared in front of them, so fast that even Surena couldn't react.

But when he saw who was coming, Surena instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Yue, why are you here?"

"I came here, of course, so that you can live."

Hearing this, Surena subconsciously looked outside and found that the soldier guarding the gate did not notice that there was an extra person in the room.

"what can you do?"

Surena didn't know why Wang Yue came this time. Both parties served different masters. Before, because their goals were the same, they cooperated with each other. But now Wang Yue was ready to withdraw, and there was no need for both parties to cooperate anymore.

"I can help you spread the news, but that's all I can do. I won't help you do anything else."

"Why? Give me a reason."

"You think I am willing to help you? If His Majesty asks me to help you, why should I help you?"

Wang Yue snorted coldly. Obviously, in Wang Yue's eyes, Surena and the others were no longer useful. Not to mention helping them, if conditions permitted, Wang Yue wanted to kill them directly.

Liu Zhang and Surena didn't know why Liu Xie wanted to help them, but since they had a helper, they were still very satisfied.

Gu Rubing arranged everything and was waiting for someone to come and rescue Liu Zhang.

Zhao Yun knew that the battle was about to begin, so he began to stay close to Gu Rubing, fearing that the killers would change their target and attack Gu Rubing.

However, after everyone was on guard for three days, no one came to rescue Liu Zhang.

This made Gu Rubing somewhat doubtful of his own guess.

Taishi Ci stood on the city wall of Xu Du.

After arriving, Gu Rubing did not let Taishi Ci leave, but let Taishi Ci take over Xu Rong's task and take charge of all defense affairs of Xu Du.

These days, thanks to Gu Rubing's order, he has been on the city wall, observing the movements outside the city.

At the beginning, there were indeed some suspicious people wandering outside the city, and he was just following Gu Rubing's orders and did not catch these people. He even provided them with some conveniences when necessary.

But after a few days, these suspicious people disappeared, and no matter how hard Taishi Ci looked, he could not find any good news.

at the same time.

There were rumors in Xudu City that Gu Rubing had arrested King Yi Liu Zhang.

There were more and more rumors like this, and even many people gathered around Prince Lie's mansion every day to watch the fun. (End of this chapter)
