Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 31 The general died!
Chaisang.

Riverside.

Liu Bei looked at the calm river surface, then looked back at the road he had come, and was reluctant to move.

Sun Qian beside him knew who Liu Bei was waiting for, but he was afraid that General Xing would never come back...

Naturally, he felt very upset, thinking that he had thought too highly of Dongwu and had not considered every aspect properly, which led to General Xing's misfortune.

But now that things have come to this, we can’t stay here for long!

Sun Qian had no choice but to take small steps forward and approach Liu Bei and said, "My lord, our ship has arrived. It's time to leave!"

Liu Bei came back to his senses, but he just shook his head and said, "Zi Yu hasn't come back yet, how can I abandon him and leave?"

Sun Qian felt more and more uncomfortable after listening to this. He wanted to persuade her again, but he didn't know how.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw dozens of merchant ships coming on the river. In the cabin, a man in a Taoist robe and a silk scarf came out with a big laugh: "My lord, Zhuge Liang has been waiting here for a long time!"

It turned out that those disguised as guests on the ship were all navy soldiers from Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was about to be overjoyed, thinking that he had truly escaped death. However, when he thought about the fact that Xing Daorong was not sure whether he was dead or alive, he couldn't help but feel sad again.

When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

Looking more closely, he found that Xing Daorong was gone.

The laughing expression suddenly changed. He got off the boat and approached Liu Bei, saying, "My lord, did General Xing get lost in Jiangdong?"

Liu Bei nodded sullenly and said, "We fled, relying on Madam's few words to get rid of the interception, but we didn't expect that two generals from the Eastern Wu would hold Sun Quan's sword and say that if Madam dared to stop us, we would kill them all."

"General Xing saw that the enemy was coming in full force, so he had no choice but to cover our retreat."

Zhuge Liang was obviously a little surprised, but he asked: "So Sun Quan is so disregarding of brother-sister affection?"

Sun Qian said, "That's right. If it weren't for General Xing's desperate efforts to cover our retreat, I'm afraid we would have been caught up by the Eastern Wu army. But General Xing..."

Although Sun Qian didn't finish his words, how could Zhuge Liang not know what he meant?
If he were to leave me alone to cover their retreat, even if the King of Chu were still alive, he would probably be surrounded by enemies on all sides and unable to break out.

Zhuge Liang liked Xing Daorong very much.

He is known for his loyalty and righteousness, and he also knows how to use troops. He is also from Jingzhou.
These times Xing Daorong was asked to follow Liu Bei purely to gain fame and merit for Xing Daorong, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen!
Sun Quan's cruelty was indeed beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations.

Now it's impossible to save Xing Daorong.

He could only suppress his grief and ask Liu Bei to go back to Jingzhou first.

Before leaving, Liu Bei could not bear the pain in his heart, so he boarded the ship and shouted to the other side: "Zi Yu, you must come back and help me enter Yizhou and capture the city and stronghold!"

The only response to Liu Bei was a solemn and murderous aura, as if it was the air current around Xing Daorong in a distant place.

"It's bad, it's bad!"

Although the news that Xing Daorong was missing in Jiangdong was not widely spread after Liu Bei returned, he was fine when he left, but was gone when he came back. This matter could not be concealed!

Especially those who are concerned about Xing Daorong's situation, how could they not know about Xing Daorong's situation if they wanted to find out?

For example, Bao Long was naturally shocked when he heard the news, and hurried to find his good brother Chen Ying.

Seeing Bao Long so nervous, Chen Ying hurried over and asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Bao Long was a little annoyed that Chen Ying realized it so late, and he stamped his foot and said, "Hey, Old Chen, don't you know that General Xing hasn't come back?"

Chen Ying said inexplicably: "I know, maybe the lord has other errands and left him there."

Bao Long was somewhat helpless, but said: "I found out that the lord was killed by the Eastern Wu when he came back, and our general stayed there to cover his retreat!"

After the break?

Only then did Chen Ying realize that something was wrong!

His face suddenly panicked: "You mean, the general is in danger!" Bao Long said: "More than dangerous, I'm afraid he may die or live, it's more likely to be dangerous!"

broken!

Chen Ying realized that this was really bad, and immediately fell into a chair and said, "I was alone in the rear, and I had a narrow escape. I'm afraid the general has already died!"

Bao Long's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he nodded, "Who said it wasn't true? Besides, there's been no news for a few days since I came back, so I'm afraid something might have happened. But... what should we do next?"

It would be impossible for these two "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix" to come up with a solution when they get together. They could only sigh and groan, not knowing what to do.

Just as they were all feeling confused, they suddenly heard a female voice coming from outside.

"Captain Bao, Captain Chen, are you both available?"

Bao Long and Chen Ying hurriedly got up to see, and found that it was their sister-in-law Fan who came.

As soon as they saw their sister-in-law coming here, no matter how dumb they were, they knew that she came to ask something.

As expected, upon seeing the two of them, Fan Yufeng asked directly, "Two captains, have you heard any news about the general?"

Chen Ying and Bao Long really didn't know how to answer.

They looked at each other and opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

When Fan Yufeng saw that the man didn't understand what was going on, her tone suddenly turned cold and she said, "You have news, right? Why didn't you tell me? Could it be that the general has already..."

Women are made of water.

As Fan Yufeng spoke, tears were about to well up in her eyes.

Chen Ying and Bao Long were not afraid of women crying, but their sister-in-law's crying was still quite powerful.

I was suddenly at a loss.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Chen Ying quickly explained, "Madam, it's not that serious."

"It's just that there's no news about the general for a while, and we're looking for someone to find out."

No news?

How come there is no news about this good person?
However, Fan Yufeng could see that the two guys really didn't know what was going on, so she said, "Since you don't know too much, I'll go ask Lord Xuande."

Chen Ying and Bao Long also wanted to know what happened to Xing Daorong, so they immediately said, "Sister-in-law, we'll go with you!"

Several people set out together to find Liu Bei to find out the truth.

When Liu Bei heard that Fan came to look for him, he naturally knew that she must be here to ask about Xing Daorong.

But he really didn't know whether Xing Daorong was alive or dead.

It’s strange to say, if Xing Daorong died while cutting off the retreat, Jiangdong would have to give us a message no matter what, and couldn’t just keep silent.

But to say that Xing Daorong is not dead
Not to mention how he escaped from the enemy general, he should have come back by then. How could there be no news from him at all?

So when Fan asked him, he really didn't know how to respond to her.

After thinking it over, I decided to tell the truth.

When Fan Yufeng heard that Xing Daorong was the only one to cover Liu Bei's retreat, she immediately became weak.

Fortunately, Bao Long was quick to grab him, otherwise he would have fallen down by now.

But he secretly thought: "Could it be that I am unlucky in marriage, that's why this happened?"

No wonder Fan doubts himself.

I even went to the temple to pray for a lucky charm, but it still ended up like this. Could it be that I was destined to bring bad luck to my husband? How could this be possible?
