Linyuan City.

Looking at the reply letter sent by Lu Bujun, Jin Xuan was pleasantly surprised:

"Lü Bu agreed to our request! That's great! We are saved!"

Jin Yi looked at the contents of the letter and reminded in a heavy voice:

“But he said that he would only allow us to take 500 soldiers with us and would not allow us to take any more.

"What if they chase us on the way to Ba County? We won't be able to stop them with only 500 soldiers..."

Jin Xuan waved his hand:

"My son, you don't know that Lu Bu always keeps his promises and generally won't go back on his word once he's promised in public.

“Besides, we don’t have any deep hatred with him. He has taken Wuling County, so there is no need for him to kill us all.

"If he really dares to go back on his words, I won't let him go even if I become a ghost!"

Listening to his father's unconvincing words, Jin Yi was silent for a moment. Knowing that he could not change anything, he could only sigh and nodded.

As the two parties reached a consensus, Jin Xuan did not waste any time.

He immediately made an agreement with Lu Bu and announced their agreement publicly early the next morning.

With the witness of many soldiers, Jin Xuan believed that Lu Bu would not attack them father and son again.

And Lu Bu also cooperated and agreed.

The next morning, Lu Bu met Jin Xuan for the first time.

Jin Xuan, who was on the city wall, looked at the majestic Lu Bu below and felt more and more that it was impossible for him to defeat this god of war-like figure.

He said loudly to Lu Bu:

"Marquis Wen, you should have no objection to the post-war agreement I just announced, right?"

Lü Bu, riding on his red rabbit horse, responded indifferently:

"No objection. Just evacuate. I won't send anyone to hunt you down."

Jin Xuan was overjoyed and bowed to Lu Bu in gratitude:

"Thank you, Lord Wen! But before I leave, may I ask you a question?"

Lu Bu urged impatiently:
"Say something quickly!"

Jin Xuan paused and asked cautiously:

"I once sent someone to propose marriage to you with sincerity.

"Although I know that my son is not worthy of your daughter.

"But if you refuse, then just refuse. Why do you curse my father and me and mistreat my messenger?"

Seeing that his father was talking about something irrelevant, Jin Yi subconsciously pulled his sleeve.

But to Jin Yi's surprise, Lu Bu was unexpectedly calm and replied calmly:

“I have always treated envoys with courtesy, but the envoy sent by Your Excellency said to my face that my daughter is a commodity!
"Do I have to smile and say 'Ah, right, right, right'?"

Jin Xuan showed a look of realization and turned to look at Gong Zhi beside him.

When Jin Xuan saw Gong Zhi's horrified expression, he shouted angrily:
"So it's you who killed my father and son! Go to hell!"

Jin Xuan rushed directly to Gong Zhi and chopped off Gong Zhi's head with a sword.

He threw his head under the tower and bowed to Lü Bu to apologize:

"It's all my fault that I believed this guy's slander and became the enemy of Lord Wen. I hope Lord Wen will forgive me!"

Lu Bu looked at the head that rolled down in front of the horse's hooves, and his expression softened slightly:

"Alright, let's just forget about this. You guys can leave immediately!"

Hearing the soothing tone in Lu Bu's words, Jin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more and more that the other party would not kill him.

He bowed to Lu Bu and said goodbye, then hurriedly left through the west gate with five hundred cavalrymen.

After waiting for about half an hour, the south gate was opened by the soldiers in the city. Lu Bu glanced at the direction where Jin Xuan disappeared, raised a contemptuous arc at the corner of his mouth, and then led the army to take over the city.

……

Yangshan.

A low mountain located in the west of Linyuan City.

The mountains were covered with lush forests in early summer, and the tall trees formed large tracts of shade, making Jin Xuan feel extremely cool while riding his horse.

Jin Xuan looked back and exhaled with a smile:

"That Lu Bu is really trustworthy. He didn't send anyone to hunt us down."

Jin Yi, who was riding alongside him, was not as happy as Jin Xuan. Instead, he looked ahead cautiously and whispered:
"We haven't left Wuling yet, so we can't let our guard down!"

Seeing that his son still looked serious, Jin Xuan smiled cheerfully:
"My son, don't be nervous. I have already informed the governor of Ba County, Yan Yan, in advance.

"They will be waiting to pick us up in Qianling County on the border of Wuling County."

Hearing this, Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in the woods on the right side of the official road.

Jin Yi quickly turned his head to look, but did not see any figure, only a bush shaking abnormally!
Jin Yi's face changed, and he quickly shouted to the soldiers behind him:
"Be careful! Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Jin Xuan and the five hundred soldiers behind him were all startled. They almost instinctively drew their blades, but looked around in confusion.

Jin Xuan looked around in fear, but did not see any enemy. He looked at his son in confusion:

"Where? Where is the enemy?"

Jin Yi pointed at the bushes that had just been shaking in panic.

However, at this moment, a gray hare suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

Jin Xuan and the five hundred soldiers behind him were immediately speechless.

Jin Xuan couldn't bear to blame his son, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't be nervous, my son. Although I didn't achieve much during my father's tenure as governor.

“But I have almost wiped out all the bandits around here.

“Even if there are still some that slip through the net, they are not significant, and there are rarely any teams with more than 200 people.

"They don't dare to attack our 500 officers and soldiers."

Jin Yi also felt quite embarrassed. He could not be suspicious anymore, so he could only nod and whispered:

"I'm sorry to have made my father worried..."

Jin Xuan shook his head and held the reins tightly:
“It’s good to be cautious, but if you keep your nerves tense all the time, you’ll get tired easily.

"You need to relax once in a while. Come on, let's see who can reach the end of the official road first!"

Jin Yi looked at the forests on both sides. Although he was still quite alert, he also felt that he was too nervous, so he nodded and agreed:

"Just do as my father says!"

Jin Xuan laughed loudly and raised his whip high:
"The loser will drink three cups tonight! Ready... start!"

As soon as Jin Xuan finished speaking, he swung the whip, squeezed the horse's belly, and jumped out quickly!
Jin Yi was also aroused by his competitive spirit, and hurriedly swung the whip to hit the horse's butt.

The horse felt pain, neighed in agony, and rushed out like mad!

The father and son were about to reach the end of the official road ahead.

Jin Xuan glanced at his son who was half a body length slower than him and deliberately slowed down.

I plan to let my son win once so that the other party will feel better.

However, at this moment, the front hoof of the horse under his crotch suddenly stepped on empty air!
Jin Xuan and his horse fell into a hidden trap!

Not only is the pit four or five meters deep, but there are dozens of densely packed sharp spears erected underneath!

Even though Jin Xuan was wearing inner armor, he and his horse were still pierced through and died on the spot!
