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

"Gentlemen, this is the traitor Jiang Wei. It was because of him that Chengdu almost became a battlefield. Now that his plan has been exposed and I have caught him, I will execute him to give the people of Chengdu an explanation."

"it is good!"

"That's how it should be done."

Unaware of the truth, the common people were led to develop extreme hatred for Jiang Wei by Cao Cao's few words.

Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Jiang Wei was extremely disappointed and closed his eyes in despair.

"Since everyone wants Jiang Wei to be executed, then I will grant everyone's wish."

After saying this, Cao Cao threw away the execution warrant in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the executioner spat a mouthful of wine onto his blade.

He then chopped down on Jiang Wei's neck.

However, at that moment, a long spear collided directly with the executioner's blade.

The executioner was sent flying by the force of the spear.

He collapsed unconscious to the side.

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao burst out laughing.

"Liu Bei, now that you're here, why don't you show yourselves? What are you doing hiding like this? That's not the behavior of a gentleman."

Cao Cao clearly knew that Gu Rubing had arrived.

This was all because the man in black had informed Cao Cao of Gu Rubing's whereabouts.

Cao Cao also made thorough preparations.

As Cao Cao's voice fell, countless soldiers rushed over and surrounded Gu Rubing and his men.

And that Penglai man even appeared right next to Cao Cao.

Gu Rubing had no intention of hiding and walked out directly.

"Cao Cao, you really kill just anyone! Jiang Wei is loyal to you, yet you want to kill him. You've really lost your mind."

"Hmph, Liu Bei, I know perfectly well whether Jiang Wei is truly loyal to me or not, but no matter what, now that you're here, you're not leaving."

"Is it?"

Gu Rubing simply waved his hand.

Seven legendary military generals stepped forward.

From the moment Zhao Yun appeared, his eyes remained fixed on the man in black.

He always kept the centurion's words in mind.

The opponent also knows the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear. Could he really be my master's disciple, my junior brother?
As Zhao Yun thought this to himself, his sense of loss grew stronger and stronger.

Tong Yuan has always said that he is his most outstanding disciple and the most talented disciple.

But if the other person is his junior brother, it means that he started learning much later than him, and his current achievements have even surpassed his own by a lot. In that case, his talent would become a joke for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's fighting spirit against the man in black grew stronger.

Gu Rubing also sensed Zhao Yun's fighting spirit and nodded to him.

Zhao Yun immediately walked towards the man in black.

"I heard you also know the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear. May I ask who taught you?"

"Who? Besides that person, is there anyone else who can do it?"

The man in black's answer confirmed Zhao Yun's suspicions, but Zhao Yun was still unwilling to give up.

"Impossible! I'm your last disciple, how could you possibly be here?"

"Who said I'm his disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at him blankly.

Not a disciple? Then what is it?
“Now is not the time for Zilong to talk. Let’s both of us work together to keep him occupied.”

Guan Yu's voice startled Zhao Yun awake.

Zhao Yun realized what was happening and immediately rushed towards the man with Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and later Zhang Liao, went after Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Pang De rushed to Jiang Wei's side and rescued him, while Huang Zhong provided cover.

However, this allocation put a lot of pressure on Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, needless to say, were fighting against people from Penglai. They were already at their limit just barely managing to stay alive.

But Zhang Fei faced off against Dian Wei.

They were immediately pressured and beaten by the opponent.

This greatly displeased Zhang Fei, who even used all his strength in every move.

Gu Rubing knew that no one could hold out for long, so after Pang De succeeded, Gu Rubing immediately ordered a retreat.

However, just as everyone was preparing to retreat, two figures appeared on the escape route that Gu Rubing and his group had already prepared.

"Meng Huo, Miao Moqing? I didn't expect Liu Zhang to join in the fun at this time."

Gu Rubing had no idea that these two people would appear.

Moreover, the situation, which was originally being maintained, was completely disrupted after the two people appeared.

"Your Highness, I only received an invitation from the King of Wei. Please don't blame us if we end up in the underworld."

Gu Rubing snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I won't be the one who dies."

As Gu Rubing finished speaking, Guan Yu and the others retreated, protecting Gu Rubing in the middle.

"Big brother, we'll fight our way through with all our might, then you just run and don't worry about us."

“That’s right, my lord. We may have to leave one or two people behind to cover our retreat. No matter who dies, my lord, don’t rush to avenge us. With the people of Penglai around, the enemy’s strength has already surpassed ours.”

Zhao Yun was clearly prepared to die at this point.

Hearing their conversation, Gu Rubing smiled and then waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, none of us will die. The only one who can stop our retreat is that person from Penglai. As for him, I already have some ideas."

After saying this, Gu Rubing opened his package and handed the five arrows to Huang Zhong.

Whether we can get out or not, we'll have to wait and see.

Gu Rubing wasn't very confident about his design.

He then gave instructions to Huang Zhong.

"General, remember this: all five arrows must be fired at the same time, absolutely not separately, and their targets must be the same."

"Yes!"

After receiving Huang Zhong's assurance, Gu Rubing looked at the man in black standing to the side.

"Hey friend from Penglai, do you remember what happened in Luocheng?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression immediately changed.

Looking at the arrow in Huang Zhong's hand, the terrifying explosion instantly echoed in my mind.

I subconsciously took a few steps back.

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao looked at the man with curiosity.

He had heard Cao Ren mention that Gu Rubing had once possessed a very powerful weapon, but since he had never seen it himself, he hadn't taken it to heart.

Did Liu Bei bring that thing with him?

Cao Cao had some doubts in his heart, and subconsciously took several steps back.

"You actually brought that thing with you. I really underestimated you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing smiled, then took out a tinderbox and lit the five arrows.

"The old general makes his move."

Huang Zhong shot the arrow in his hand directly towards the man in black.

"You crazy person."

After finishing speaking, the man in black turned around and disappeared down the street.

Then a loud explosion rang out.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Cao Zhang instinctively shielded Cao Cao behind them.

Not long after the explosion, everything around fell silent.

Gu Rubing then took the opportunity to leave with everyone.

Meng Huo and Miao Moqing, standing to the side, didn't even try to stop them.

The main players have all left; what use are those two?

Besides, we came here to help; there's no need to risk our lives here. We'll wait until we've confirmed the surrounding area is safe.

The three then released Cao Cao.

Although the five arrows made a loud explosion, their power was limited. They did not cause much damage to these legendary warriors; their bodies were only scratched by the surrounding debris.

However, this was also because the arrow wasn't actually aimed at them. If it had been aimed at them, the three of them would certainly have suffered some damage.

Seeing the situation before him, Cao Cao clenched his fists.

The entire street has been bombed into ruins.

Gu Rubing had long since disappeared, and Meng Huo and Miao Moqing had also vanished long ago.

What Cao Cao couldn't understand was how that person from Penglai could just run away like that?
Gu Rubing led everyone away from Chengdu.

I've only been running for a short time.

The seven people stopped in their tracks.

With Gu Rubing with them, they couldn't run fast, so they were caught up by someone.

"Hmph, Liu Bei, you really are shameless enough to carry that thing with you."

The man in black appeared in front of them.

The seven immediately prepared for battle.

At this moment, Zhao Yun slowly stepped forward.

"Who exactly are you? What did you do to my master?"

"Master? Haha, he's your master, not mine."

The man in black burst out laughing.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun's silver spear slowly swayed, and a silver dragon slowly appeared at that moment.

"You know the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear, don't you? Then let me see how well you've actually practiced it."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he kept swinging his silver spear.

Silver Dragon charged at the man in black.

However, at that moment, the man in black flashed behind Zhao Yun and swung his spear at him.

Clearly, the other party was holding back and did not intend to kill Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun suffered a heavy blow, his body trembled involuntarily, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“I’ve heard that old man talk about you. He said you were his most talented disciple. But now that I see you, you’re nothing special.”

After saying that, the man swung his spear again.

At the same time, Zhao Yun sensed a powerful life force at the tip of the spear, and then the surrounding petals all converged towards the spear.

In that instant, all the petals transformed into the shape of a phoenix.

Immediately afterwards, a bird's call rang out.

The sound startled everyone present, causing them to momentarily lose their composure.

The same applies to Zhao Yun.

By the time Zhao Yun realized what was happening, the phoenix made of flower petals was already in front of him.

Zhao Yun could no longer dodge.

Just then, a green dragon smashed the phoenix to pieces.

Guan Yu finally made his move.

Because of his superior strength, Guan Yu regained his senses much faster than others, and naturally discovered Zhao Yun's danger much sooner.

The man in black was completely unconcerned that Guan Yu had shattered his phoenix with a single blow.

He simply looked at Zhao Yun.

"This is the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear."

Zhao Yun didn't speak, but instead recalled everything that had happened before.

After a long while, Zhao Yun finally spoke slowly.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Haha, since you want to know, then I'll tell you. My name is Tong Fei. The master you're talking about is my father. Don't be too disappointed. When you started following my father, I had already been studying with him for almost ten years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Fei looked at Gu Rubing.

"Liu Bei, I hope you will reconsider my previous suggestion."

After saying that, Tong Fei turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, if you're Master's son, does that mean Master was also involved in Penglai's plan?"

"Of course, don't you know that my father was originally from Penglai? Haha!"

After saying that, Tong Fei disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhao Yun felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He didn't know what Tong Yuan's strength was before, but after becoming a legendary general, he had some guesses.

If Tong Yuan is like this, then the others in Penglai must be the same.

With such terrifying strength, do they really think they'll have a good ending if they oppose someone like that?

The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his fear intensified considerably.

"My lord, can we really still oppose Penglai?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing glanced at Zhao Yun.

"What, Zilong doesn't want to go against your master?"

Zhao Yun shook his head.

"My lord, Master Wu is very powerful. We are no match for him at all. I am worried that we will not be able to stop him once he makes a move."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing burst out laughing.

"Don't worry, since I dare to fight the people of Penglai, I'm naturally not afraid of them."

Gu Rubing wasn't afraid, but Zhao Yun and the others were.

They didn't want their nearly successful business to be lost just because they couldn't protect Gu Rubing.

However, seeing Gu Rubing's insistence, Zhao Yun and the others stopped saying anything.

Cao Cao saw that Tong Fei had returned.

Go forward immediately.

"Sir, what exactly happened just now?"

"It's nothing. I was just waiting for Liu Bei outside and we exchanged a few words. That's all. I don't see that you suffered any losses. Let's just let this matter go. If Liu Bei tries to attack you again, I will naturally step in to help you."

After saying that, Tong Fei turned and left.

Cao Cao sighed as he watched Tong Fei's retreating figure.

His claim of having suffered no losses stemmed solely from the fact that his Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Cao Zhang were still alive; he paid no attention to the situation within Chengdu.

However, Cao Cao's mind was still reeling from the previous explosion and how Gu Rubing had known that he was going to execute Jiang Wei.

Gu Rubing led everyone back to Luocheng.

"My lord, are you all alright?"

Lu Su walked over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were alright.

"It's alright, and we've already rescued the person."

After speaking, Gu Rubing pointed to Jiang Wei standing to the side.

Upon seeing Jiang Wei, Lu Su immediately stepped forward.

Welcome to our team!

“I never said I would definitely join you.”

Lu Su looked at Gu Rubing with some curiosity.

Gu Rubing was somewhat embarrassed by this.

They were in such a hurry to get there that they didn't have time to talk to Jiang Wei at all.

"Boyue, Cao Cao has treated you like this, do you still want to follow him?"

"Although I am no longer following Cao Cao, I have no reason to join your camp, King Lie."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

For some reason, Gu Rubing always felt that Jiang Wei harbored hostility towards him. (End of Chapter)
