Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Who?!"

Sun Ce was startled at first, and subconsciously protected A Dou and Li Xiang behind him. He put his hand on the hilt of the ancient ingot knife at his waist and shouted loudly.

Although they had to stop temporarily due to the wind and snow, Sun Ce always had scouts arranged in the surrounding area.

This sudden voice passed through many scouts and suddenly appeared here. How could this not make Sun Ce extremely alert and surprised?

The next moment, a figure approached quickly from the wind and snow.

The man was wearing a green hemp cloth robe. He was walking in the biting cold snow, but his steps were unusually light. Many snowflakes stuck to his hair and beard, and for a moment it was difficult to tell whether his hair and beard were black with some white in between, or were originally black.

"Taoist?!"

Sun Ce immediately drew out his ancient ingot knife, and the people around him, including Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and a group of soldiers, also drew their weapons and pointed them at the intruder.

Especially in Yuzhou, where the Yellow Turban Rebellion had been pacified by Li Ji not long ago, the uninvited guest in the snow and wind turned out to be a Taoist priest, which made Sun Ce and others doubt the visitor's relationship with the Taiping Dao.

"Why should you be so nervous, my fellow monks? I am Zuo Ci, the Wujiao Master of Tianzhu Mountain. I am here to pay my respects to you."

Zuo Ci bowed to everyone, but his eyes were looking intentionally or unintentionally at A Dou and Li Xiang behind Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce saw this, he became even more furious.

Sun Ce has never liked Buddhists and Taoists, let alone the appearance of Zuo Ci, which is particularly strange and mysterious. It seems that he is coming for Adou and Li Xiang.

This made Sun Ce not even want to say a word to Zuo Ci, and he immediately gave the order.

"You bold demon, come on, capture this man. If he resists, kill him without mercy."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Huang Gai personally led more than ten soldiers to surround Zuo Ci.

"Why are you all so angry? The war in Yuzhou has finally stopped, why are you killing again?"

Zuo Ci sighed and shook his head. He seemed to be motionless and took several steps back. His figure seemed to be quickly covered by the wind and snow.

Huang Gai led a dozen soldiers who rushed forward and searched everywhere, but could not find any trace of him.

Seeing this, Sun Ce frowned slightly, holding the ancient ingot knife in one hand, and subconsciously grabbed Li Xiang's shoulder with the other hand, and said.

"Ziyi, this person is very strange. I don't know what kind of tricks he uses. Please help me protect the young master and his brother at all times to prevent any accidents."

"Don't worry, Bofu."

Taishi Ci immediately took a step closer to Sun Ce, and placed one hand on Adou's shoulder like Sun Ce did, and spoke.

"I'm sorry, young master. Please forgive me."

Adou didn't care about such trivial matters. He just unconsciously moved closer to Li Xiang, grabbed the corner of Li Xiang's clothes with his hand, and asked.

"Brother, is that Taoist gone?"

"I don't know."

Prime Minister Li showed no fear as he looked around, also looking for Zuo Ci's trace.

Sun Ce soothed in a deep voice.

"Young Master and my brother, don't be afraid. What those evil Taoists are using are just some flashy tricks. As long as we don't fall for their tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they can't do anything to us."

As for the talk of gods and ghosts, not to mention that Sun Ce didn't believe in them, what was more important was that Sun Ce once rode his horse onto the royal palace of Yamatai, which was regarded as a holy place by countless Japanese.

He even saw Queen Himiko, who was worshipped as a god by countless Japanese, being sun-dried to death in a gambling fight with her teacher.

Since then, Sun Ce has completely lost his fear of the so-called gods and ghosts. The Taoist who called himself Zuo Ci appeared strangely, but in Sun Ce's opinion, he was only worried that this person's target would be Adou and Li Xiang, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"This General Bofu seems to be judging others by his own standards..."

The next moment, Zuo Ci's figure appeared in another direction of Sun Ce, causing Sun Ce to frown.

Immediately, Sun Ce raised his hand again and waved in the direction of Zuo Ci.

Cheng Pu immediately led more than ten soldiers to surround Zuo Ci.

However, just like the result of Huang Gai before, when Cheng Pu rushed forward, Zuo Ci disappeared in the wind and snow in an instant.

After a few breaths, Zuo Ci changed direction again.

Sun Ce then ordered Han Dang to lead his troops to surround the area, but the result was still no change. Zuo Ci easily disappeared into the wind and snow in full view of everyone.

This time, Zuo Ci appeared in the fourth direction, looked at Sun Ce as usual, and spoke.

"I just happened to pass by here by chance. Even though Yuzhou will be incorporated into the rule of Uncle Liu, I am walking on the official road of the Han Dynasty. I am also a Han Chinese. Why is General Bofu shouting for war and killing like this?"

"Passing by?"

Sun Ce sneered. Of course, he would not believe the words of this Taoist priest of unknown origin, so he shouted sternly.

"What do you want to do? If you can't explain it clearly today, don't blame me for remembering your name, and then I will lead my troops to burn the entire Tianzhu Mountain to ashes."

This murderous remark frightened Si Yi so much that the snowflakes unconsciously avoided Sun Ce.

Although Zuo Ci's expression did not change at all, he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, realizing that Sun Ce might really be capable of doing such a thing.

What's more, Tianzhu Mountain is located in Lujiang County, Yangzhou. Sun Ce's decision to mobilize troops to burn Tianzhu Mountain was not an unreasonable one.

This made Zuo Ci secretly regret his habit of mentioning the place of practice when introducing his identity.

"You should claim that you are practicing in Nanhua Mountain, and let Sun Ce go and find trouble with that Nanhua guy."

Zuo Ci muttered to himself, then spoke.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, General. It has nothing to do with me. I just saw that you were trapped in the snowstorm, so I wanted to lead you to a place where you can escape the snowstorm."

"In that case, let's just leave it at that."

As he spoke, Zuo Ci once again made a gesture as if he was slowly retreating, trying to hide in the wind and snow.

However, what was beyond Zuo Ci's expectation was that Sun Ce and his generals remained on guard throughout, and no one seemed to have the slightest intention of speaking to persuade them to stay.

Just when Zuo Ci felt a bit caught in a dilemma, Li Xiang, who was behind Sun Ce, stepped aside. His small body emerged from layers of protection. He saluted from a distance and said.

"Is it true that this Taoist priest knows a place around that can be sheltered from the wind and snow?"

"Brother?!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Ce tried to stop Li Xiang in a hasty tone.

However, Prime Minister Li knew very well that Zuo Ci seemed to have ulterior motives, and his words and actions were often suspicious and strange. However, there was one thing Zuo Ci said that touched Prime Minister Li.

As the wind and snow were blowing, the soldiers needed a place to shelter from the cold and the wind.

otherwise……

Li Xiang recalled that he had just seen some soldiers' palms become red and swollen due to freezing in the snow, and some had even begun to turn blue.

It was just that these elite Tiger Guards did not retreat in confusion due to the snowstorm, but Li Xiang, who was deeply influenced by Li Ji, could not turn a blind eye. (End of this chapter)
