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

Zhao Yun was extremely fast, and in just three days, the two of them reached Liangzhou.

This was because he had to take into account Gu Rubing on horseback, otherwise his speed would have been even faster.

At this time, Ma Chao and Taishi Ci were already waiting outside the city.

"Lord."

The two of them knelt on the ground.

After Gu Rubing got off the horse, he tidied up his clothes that were messed up by Feng Biao. Just as he was about to say something, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help.

With the help of everyone, Gu Rubing finally stabilized after a while.

"Okay, Ziyi, you continue to stay here. Mengqi Zilong, let's go to the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue. There is a rain forest over there, and the thousand-year-old green blood ginseng is there."

The two men nodded, but Taishi Ci came over at this time.

"My Lord, if it's Jingjue City, you'd better take the army with you. That place is not peaceful."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing stopped and looked at Taishi Ci in confusion. He didn't quite understand what this meant.
"My lord, there are many remnants of the Western Regions gathered around Jingjue City. There is indeed a rainforest over there, and those remnants are hiding in that rainforest. They usually don't come out, but once they come out, the caravans they target will not be left alive, and they may even..."

Taishi Ci paused here.

Seeing the disgusted expression on Taishi Ci's face, Gu Rubing asked in confusion: "Even what?"

"My lord, according to our intelligence, those people seemed to have killed and eaten the people from the caravan."

"eat human?"

When Gu Rubing heard this, his eyes widened.

Gu Rubing had seen this world of cannibalism countless times. He had seen the words "eating one's own children" before, but he had never thought that one day he would really see people eating each other.

The people in his military camp and even in the city would not eat each other even if they were hungry. This was his bottom line.

Perhaps because of various bonus reasons, Gu Rubing's territory has never experienced that level of hunger.

"Yes, my lord. According to what we know, these remnants of the Western Regions killed all the people in the caravan, took away the gold and silver, and even the corpses. If they were really hungry and ate people, I wouldn't mind. But when there is gold and silver to buy food, they still choose to eat people. I can't accept this."

"You guys don't care?"

Gu Rubing frowned and looked at Taishi Ci.

"My lord, this is the place you originally designated as a no-man's land. It is also a buffer zone between us and Sun Jian. We cannot interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions at will."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing smiled awkwardly. He had forgotten what he had planned. He just wanted to ignore the place, but who could have thought that it would develop into this state and even start to eat people.

"Okay, no matter what, we have to go and see if there is something Wenyuan needs."

"Ziyi, bring 30,000 troops with you, let's go and take a look."

"Yes!"

With Gu Rubing's order, Taishi Ci immediately assembled his troops and followed Gu Rubing and his men directly to Jingjue City.

Soon, Gu Rubing and his companions arrived at the location of Jingjue City. Seeing the huge ruins of Jingjue City in front of them, Gu Rubing couldn't help but sigh.

Jingjue City has a great reputation, but its strength and reputation are not proportional, and this is the consequence.

Everyone soon found the existence of the rain forest.

However, Gu Rubing did not go in, but instead ordered 30,000 troops to directly surround the rain forest.

Before Gu Rubing entered the rainforest, he saw a man walking out from outside.

This person has the appearance of a person from the Western Regions, but his eyes seem to be different from those of normal people, which makes people feel a little creepy.

Moreover, this person's body has been emitting a bloody smell. This is not murderous aura, but a bloody smell that comes from the inside out.

"Who are you? Why are you sending troops to surround us?"

"You bastard, this is the Great Han King Lie. When you see the King Lie, why don't you kneel down and salute him?"

When Zhao Yun learned that these people were cannibals, in his heart, they were already dead.

Naturally, he wouldn't have a good tone towards these people.

"King Lie? I'm so sorry, we don't know any King Lie, and if it weren't for King Lie, how could we have fallen to this point? We are in this state now, thanks to King Lie."

After saying this, the man looked at Gu Rubing with a fierce light in his eyes.

"It seems that you are unwilling to accept it. If that's the case, then don't blame me. I was able to drive you into this forest back then, and now I can also let you all die in this forest."

"Really? Then come and try and see if you can find us here."

After saying that, the man turned and ran away.

"Fire arrows."

Gu Rubing shouted immediately.

However, the man was too fast, causing all of Gu Rubing's arrows to miss the target.

Just as the man was about to enter the rainforest, an arrow suddenly shot out and hit the man's leg directly.

This arrow caused the man's body to pause slightly, but did not affect his speed too much.

Taishi Ci retracted his bow and arrow and watched the man enter the rainforest.

"My Lord, shall we chase?"

"Chase!"

Gu Rubing led everyone directly into the rainforest.

The reason why the legendary general was not allowed to take action was entirely because once Zhao Yun took action, the man would be killed instantly.

In that case, the rainforest is so big that I have no confidence that I can find the people hiding in it.

Now that the man is injured, we just need to track him based on the bloodstains on the ground.

Soon everyone discovered the bloodstains and followed them, chasing after them.

After walking for a long time, Gu Rubing found that they had unknowingly entered the depths of the rainforest.

There were sounds of animals everywhere, and the trees in the rainforest were extremely tall, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

The dark and humid environment, coupled with the dim forest and the sounds of animals, all put together, no matter how you put it, it's a creepy feeling.

Gu Rubing was like this, and the soldiers were even more so.

Many soldiers were so frightened that their legs were shaking. They stared at their surroundings nervously and had long forgotten about formations.

"Everyone, just hold on a little longer. We will soon find their lair. As long as we get rid of them, we will be rewarded handsomely when we return."

Gu Rubing's words gave the soldiers a lot of confidence and reduced the fear in their hearts a lot.

After walking for a while, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped Gu Rubing.

"My lord, something is wrong. Let's be careful."

As soon as Zhao Yun's voice fell, countless javelins made of branches flew out. For a moment, there were many casualties among the soldiers.

Before the soldiers could react, the second wave of javelins flew out.

These tree branch javelins were extremely powerful. The shield soldier had already raised his shield to defend himself, but after being hit by a javelin, the shield soldier's hands were shaken away by the force transmitted from the shield. The moment the shield left his hands, another javelin flew over and directly pierced the shield soldier's body.

Gu Rubing was also surprised to have such cooperation.

Seeing the casualties continuing to increase, Gu Rubing immediately nodded to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun dismounted immediately, and a silver dragon flew out from the tip of his spear, directly hitting the ambushers.

Then screams were heard and the wooden javelins disappeared.

Taishi Ci immediately led his men to the place where the group was ambushed.

As a result, I saw more than a hundred corpses in front of me.

It was not the first time that Taishi Ci saw a legendary general take action, but every time he saw it, he would be surprised for a while.

With just one move, he killed a hundred people, something these ten famous generals could not do.

Taishi Ci brought all the bodies of these hundred people here.

"My lord, these people are the remnants of the Western Regions, and they have been ambushing us here for a long time. Many branches have been completely broken. That person must have deliberately led us here."

"Go on. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Since he wants to lure us in, let's go in and show him."

Soon, everyone followed Gu Rubing and continued to follow the blood trail.

Not long after, Gu Rubing saw hundreds of people standing in front of them. These people were holding simple weapons in their hands, and they didn't even have armor on their bodies. They were wearing only animal skins, and their equipment looked extremely simple.

However, the leader let out a strange cry, and then hundreds of people shouted together.

Just when Gu Rubing was curious about what these people were going to do, the ground suddenly shook.

Immediately afterwards, several giant elephants rushed out from the side.

Faced with such a behemoth, even Taishi Ci's army formation was useless.

In an instant the army formation was broken up by the giant elephants, and it could even be described as a total rout.

Taishi Ci tried hard to organize the army formation, but his voice was drowned out by the giant elephant.

Many ordinary soldiers had never seen such a thing in their lives, so they were naturally panicked when they saw such an animal.

For a moment, all the soldiers threw away their armor and ran away.

Zhao Yun knew that if this continued, there would be no one left to use around them.

A silver spear streaked across the sky and a silver dragon flew by.

All the giant elephants were frightened by the dragon's roar and hid back in the woods.

Without the threat of the giant elephant, Taishi Ci finally gathered all the soldiers he could find together.

When the hundreds of people saw that their giant elephants did not cause much damage, they turned around and prepared to run.

However, Zhao Yun had already arrived behind them.

"Everyone, now that you're here, you want to leave like this? Aren't you looking down on me a bit?"

Hearing this, these people looked at each other. After all, there was only Zhao Yun alone. Compared to Gu Rubing and others who were chasing after him, these people still felt that Zhao Yun was easier to defeat. After all, there was only one Zhao Yun.

However, they soon discovered that they were wrong.

Zhao Yun waved the silver spear, and anyone who got close to Zhao Yun would die.

After Gu Rubing took a look at the corpse, he led everyone to continue walking inside.

"Your Highness, the King Lie."

As the voice fell, a man who looked older walked out slowly, holding a human head in his hand.

"who are you?"

"In reply to King Lie, I was once the king of Jingjue City. After I was defeated in the war, I took the people nearby and hid here. The person who just met you was our military marshal. My power has been stripped away by him. This time, I am grateful that you came. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been controlled by him."

Gu Rubing looked at the head in the old man's hand and found that it was the person he had met before.

But he didn't know whether it was as the king said.

However, Gu Rubing didn't care about this. He was just a king. He didn't want to know who they were. He just wanted to know whether the thousand-year-old green blood ginseng was here and whether these people knew where the thousand-year-old green blood ginseng was.

When the old king heard Gu Rubing asking about the thousand-year-old green-blood ginseng, his expression suddenly changed, but soon returned to normal.

"King Lie, I wonder who told you that this thousand-year-old Jade Blood Ginseng is in our hands?"

"Don't worry about that. You just need to tell me whether you have it or not."

"we do not have."

The old king immediately lowered his head after he finished speaking.

It was obvious that he was avoiding Gu Rubing's gaze.

Seeing this scene, Gu Rubing's face suddenly showed some excitement.

Judging from the looks of these people, it is obvious that they know where the Green Blood Ginseng is.

"You'd better tell me everything you know, otherwise, you remnants, don't blame me. Take action."

After saying this, Gu Rubing asked Zhao Yun to come out.

When the old king saw Zhao Yun appear, his face suddenly changed and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"My lord, be careful. I can sense that there are quite a few people around."

Ma Chao whispered in Gu Rubing's ear.

However, Bu Rubing was not worried. After all, he had two legendary generals by his side. If someone could hurt himself under the protection of the two legendary generals, then these people would not have been defeated in the first place.

"I said."

The king finally couldn't resist the pressure brought by Zhao Yun and had to speak.

"King Lie, we do have what you want, but we can't give it to you. This is our last treasure, and there is only one in the entire rain forest. If you want it, you can give us our Jingjue City, and you must protect the safety of our Jingjue City."

Gu Rubing didn't expect that the king still wanted to bargain with him. He wanted to use the Millennium Blood Ginseng to restore his country.

Just when Gu Rubing was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked someone to bring out the map.

Gu Rubing discovered that the location of the so-called Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions was originally intended to provide a buffer zone between himself and Sun Jian and to prevent the war from spreading into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But this route is now very chaotic, with bandits and robbers everywhere. Now there are even remnants of this kind, some of whom even eat people.

All this is because this place is in a no-man's land.

If we support the people of Jingjue City and unify this place, the public security here will definitely be much better. Moreover, sending a general with troops here can completely isolate the war in the Western Regions and will definitely not enter Liangzhou. (End of this chapter)
