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

Gu Rubing just laughed out loud.

"King Yi, do you think I don't know anything? There are some things I don't want to explain too clearly. If I explain clearly, how much of these 80 stones of grain and grass will be left?"

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he took a special look at Meng Huo behind Liu Zhang.

"You gave me the information?"

"Who else do you think you are? How can anyone be as free as me?"

Liu Zhang now understood completely that when he found the letter on the table, he only paid attention to the content of the letter and completely ignored who put the letter on his desk.

"I will consider your matter."

Cao Cao looked confused. What was going on?
I gave Liu Zhang 800,000 dan of grain and fodder, and Gu Rubing said he wanted to take back 300,000 dan, so he's going to take it back? Didn't he ask me?

Why would Liu Zhang consider this? Could there be a deal between them?

Just when Cao Cao was confused, Liu Zhang stood up and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"It's rare for the three of us to get together. The food and drinks are ready. Let's go eat."

"it is good."

Among the three, only Cao Cao looked confused. He had no idea what was going on and was dragged to the banquet in a daze.

Gu Rubing stayed with Liu Zhang for three full days, and during these three days, Gu Rubing behaved extremely arrogantly, so Liu Zhang could only tolerate him everywhere.

However, Gu Rubing also had a plan. Every time he was about to touch Liu Zhang's bottom line, he would stop being presumptuous.

This made Liu Zhang unable to vent his anger every time.

However, at this time, Zhuge Liang was very angry when he saw the information sent by his spy.

The dignified King Lie actually ran to Liu Zhang's territory and wanted to make trouble in Liu Zhang's bridal chamber. Is this a joke?
Now their food supplies have run out and they cannot afford to start a major war. Even the food supplies they have now may not be enough to last until the end of the year.

If anything happens to Gu Rubing, a war between the two sides will surely begin. How should we respond then?
Zhuge Liang was really furious, but no matter what, he was still his lord and also a friend with whom he could talk about anything in private. He had to take care of both public and private matters.

Zhuge Liang did not dare to stay and handed over all the affairs of Yizhou to Deng Ai, while he hurried to Yulin County.

late at night.

Liu Zhang looked at Surena in front of him.

Originally, Liu Zhang thought that Gu Rubing would leave in a few days, but he found out today that Gu Rubing actually wanted to make trouble in his bridal chamber. According to the agreement with Cao Cao, wouldn't he have to stay with him for a month?

During the past few days that Gu Rubing had been here, he had been traveling around several cities in Yulin County, and Liu Zhang had no choice but to follow him.

But they all understood that Gu Rubing was not just strolling around, but was clearly observing the city defense situation of Yulin County, obviously preparing for the subsequent war.

"Surena, what do you say we should do now?"

Surena was also embarrassed by Liu Zhang's words. If he had a way, he would have driven Gu Rubing away long ago.

"My lord, I think we should just go all out. There are many bandits around Yulin County now. Why don't we kill Liu Bei and put the blame on the bandits. Then we can send troops to deal with the bandits."

"How could such a simple method not be exposed? Do you think Zhuge Liang is just a decoration?"

"It doesn't matter if we are exposed or not. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not. What matters is that Liu Bei's men can't kill us. We have the same number of troops as them, and we also have Cao Cao's support. As for legendary generals, although we don't have as many as them, we have Cao Cao. When Liu Bei dies, Sun Jian will also take action. Are we three parties still afraid of Liu Bei's men?"

Liu Zhang also thought it made sense.

Just when the two decided to take action tonight, a soldier rushed in.

"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm discussing something with the lord? Why are you so rash?"

"My lord, it's bad. The Lie army on the front line is moving towards us, and there are 300,000 soldiers and horses moving together. Their Prime Minister Zhuge Liang gave my lord a letter."

Liu Zhang took the letter curiously.

King Yi, our King Lie has entrusted us with your care for the next few days. I hope you can keep our master safe and prevent him from being hurt by bandits. Otherwise, I will make you and all the people in your hands be buried with our master, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang!

This was a threat from Zhuge Liang, and it was a naked threat. Liu Zhang threw the letter directly in front of Surena.

"Our plan cannot be implemented. Zhuge Liang obviously guessed that we would have such a plan."

Surena picked up the letter in confusion. After reading the words on it, he couldn't help but sigh that Zhuge Liang was really a genius. Just when he was about to pretend to be a robber and attack Liu Bei, he received a warning from Zhuge Liang.

It seemed that Gu Rubing only brought Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with him, but in fact he was protected by an army of 300,000, and no one dared to touch him.

As for what Zhuge Liang said, that Liu Zhang should be buried with him, Liu Zhang believed it regardless of whether others believed it or not. After all, it concerned himself and he only had one life.

Gu Rubing stayed here for a whole month and secretly memorized all of Liu Zhang's cities and topography in Yulin County, and also drew a detailed map.

After completing his primary task, Gu Rubing was in a good mood. He took Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with him and went directly out of the city without saying hello to Liu Zhang. He wanted to have some fun and relax. After all, there was still half a month before Liu Zhang's wedding.

However, just after the three of them left the city and walked for a short while, they heard a sound coming from not far away.

"Where are you running to, little lady? We have people all around here. You won't lose out if you follow us."

"Let me go!"

"It's not impossible to let you go. Just go back with us and be our wife. Isn't that good?"

"I am..."

"Stop, who are you?"

Gu Rubing was standing by and saw more than a dozen robbers grabbing a woman's hand and dragging her into the woods.

This woman had a delicate face and fair skin, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not an ordinary person. She also had a noble air about her, and was definitely not the child of an ordinary aristocratic family.

When the robbers heard the noise, they looked towards Gu Rubing and found that there were only three of them, and they immediately became arrogant.

"You little brat, get out of my way right now. Be careful with my knife. I might kill you by accident if I don't have eyes."

Zhao Yun walked up to Gu Rubing.

"My lord, these people don't look like they are from the Central Plains, and they don't even seem to be from our Han Dynasty. Could there be a trick?"

After all, we are now in Liu Zhang's territory, and these bandits are obviously not Han people. They have blond hair and blue eyes and are obviously Westerners.

All of this matches up, and it is very likely that this is Liu Zhang's disguised bandit.

"It's okay, Zilong, go ahead."

"Yes."

Seeing Gu Rubing's insistence, Zhao Yun didn't say anything else. He just swung the spear in his hand and rushed out.

When the dozen or so robbers saw that someone really dared to come up, the leader waved his hand.

Everyone rushed towards Zhao Yun.

The leader didn't even look at the situation on the battlefield. In his opinion, so many people were more than enough to deal with one person.

Just as he was about to pull the woman up the mountain, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"So soon..."

The leader originally thought it was his own younger brother, but it turned out to be Zhao Yun, while his younger brothers had already turned into corpses.

"Who... who are you?"

Zhao Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just used force to crush the leader's wrist.

The leader screamed and rolled on the ground. After a while, he finally calmed down.

Gu Rubing walked forward with Guan Yu, looked at the leader curiously and asked, "Are you really a robber?"

The leader looked at himself and asked cautiously, "Isn't it obvious?"

Gu Rubing smiled and nodded.

Then he waved at Zhao Yun.

The silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand directly stabbed the man to death.

Gu Rubing came in front of the woman.

"Excuse me, who are you, young lady? Why are you here alone in this remote place?"

"My name is Cao Hua, the daughter of Duke Wei. I came to see King Yi with a few guards, but I didn't expect to encounter robbers on the way. All the guards died. I could only run here and was captured."

Cao Hua? Liu Zhang's wife? Oh my god, when did my luck get so good?

"It turns out to be Miss Cao. I am Liu Bei. Since you are one of us, let me take you to see King Yi."

"Liu Bei? King Lie? I have met King Lie."

Cao Hua immediately bowed to Gu Rubing.

"Okay, we are family, we don't care about that, let's go."

Gu Rubing was thinking in his mind that since he had saved Cao Cao's daughter and Liu Zhang's wife, it wouldn't be too much for him to ask for 50,000 grains of food.

Cao Hua looked at Gu Rubing curiously along the way. He always felt that Gu Rubing lacked some royal aura, but was very approachable, which was completely different from his father Cao Cao.

"Miss Cao, are you okay?"

Gu Rubing discovered that Cao Hua had been staring at him. He felt a little embarrassed for being stared at, so he quickly asked.

"Ah? I just want to see what the legendary King Lie looks like!"

"Oh? Then I wonder if I am different from the legend?"

"It's indeed different. In Yizhou, everyone says you're a gangster and not a good person, but now I feel that you're a good royal family. You don't have that kind of overbearing feeling, but are more approachable. This is exactly the kind of royal family that I imagine in my mind, who loves the people like their own children."

"Forehead……"

Gu Rubing felt that there was something wrong with what Cao Hua said.

Cao Hua also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly blushed, lowered his head, and followed Gu Rubing without saying a word.

Zhao Yun walked to Guan Yu's side.

"Second Brother Guan, I think something is wrong. Could it be that Cao Hua likes the Lord?"

Guan Yu also noticed something was wrong and then nodded.

"Brother, this is a bit unkind. First, you robbed Cao Zhang's wife Sun Shangxiang, and now you want to rob Liu Zhang's wife Cao Hua. Is this what you like?"

Gu Rubing could not hear what the two people said. If he could hear them, he would definitely kick each of them.

Soon, Gu Rubing brought Cao Hua to Prince Yi's palace.

Liu Zhang saw a woman following Gu Rubing and walked up to him with a curious look on his face.

"King Lie, who is this?"

"It's your wife."

"My wife?"

Liu Zhang looked at Cao Hua in confusion, then suddenly thought of something and stepped forward immediately.

"Are you Cao Hua?"

"I am Cao Hua."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang excitedly walked around Cao Hua.

Looking at Liu Zhang's wretched appearance, Gu Rubing sighed and reached out to pull Liu Zhang aside.

"King Yi, can't you be a little more thoughtful? I just rescued him from the bandits. You said I helped you so much, so should I get an extra 50,000 grains? After all, I also contributed, right?"

"Another 50,000? I asked for 800,000 grains and fodders, but I only got 450,000? No, no, absolutely not."

"Okay, that's what you said, then I will send him back. As for whether there will be any more accidents on the way, I don't know. If something happens to this person, you and Cao Cao can't form an alliance, but I think you can make this enemy."

"Liu Bei, no matter what, you are the uncle of the Han emperor, King Lie. Why are you acting like a scoundrel now? Do you look like a royal at all?"

"Don't waste your time. Just one sentence. Will you give it to me?"

"Thirty thousand."

"make a deal."

Seeing that Gu Rubing agreed so readily, Liu Zhang suddenly felt that he had given too much and should have given 10,000 and increased the amount gradually.

When Cao Hua saw Liu Zhang walking towards him, he was frightened and hid behind Gu Rubing.

When Liu Zhang saw this scene, the smile on his face froze instantly.

He knew exactly what this meant.

"King Lie, can you give me an explanation?"

"He was frightened just now, and I saved him. Now you look so scary that you frightened him again, so he hid behind me."

Hearing this, Liu Zhang snorted coldly and immediately arranged for someone to take Cao Hua downstairs to rest.

Gu Rubing was too lazy to say anything to Liu Zhang, and took Guan Yu and Zhao Yun back to his room.

However, not long after he returned, Gu Rubing suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He thought it was Guan Yu or Zhao Yun, so he didn't care and just opened the door.

When he found out it was Cao Hua, he immediately tidied up his messy clothes.

"Miss Cao, what's the matter?"

"King Lie, I just got here and haven't been out for a walk yet. Could you please take me out for a walk?"

"I take you? Shouldn't you ask the alien king to take you?"

"I……"

Cao Hua's face turned red and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, who were in the next room, also heard the noise and came out.

"Okay, then I'll take you around."

Gu Rubing looked at Cao Hua with a puzzled look. He always felt that Cao Hua might have something to tell him, but seemed very embarrassed.

"Second Brother Guan, if the lord is like this, it wouldn't be a good idea if you didn't go and persuade him, right?"

"I would like to, but I can't tell my elder brother that it's not okay if he likes it, right? It would be great if the military advisor was here!" (End of this chapter)
