Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 28 Let's Escape Together
Tang Qin was frightened by the screams outside the window and lost the force of his sword.

Zhang Jiao on the bed had already drawn his sword from behind to block, but he was seriously injured. Although he protected his vital parts, he was still stabbed in the arm.

Shuang'er had already broken in through the window, pressed Tang Qin's acupoints, and protected Zhang Jiao.

Wei Xiaobao also climbed in through the window, holding a dagger against Tang Qin's neck and shouting, "Someone come, someone is trying to assassinate General Tian Gong."

The sound of a large group of people's footsteps could be heard outside.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to dare to attack your own brother. Now that we are surrounded, why don't you surrender?"

A man came in from outside, saluted Zhang Liang and said, "General, the crossbowmen are on standby."

Zhang Liang waved his hand and waited for the visitor to leave the room before looking at Wei Xiaobao and saying, "Since you know you're surrounded, why don't you surrender?"

Zhang Jue covered his wound and said to Wei Xiaobao in front of him, "Quickly catch the substitute."

Wei Xiaobao's mind worked quickly and he immediately understood Zhang Jue's idea. He turned around and put the dagger on the fake Zhang Jue's neck.

Zhang Jue said, "Without me and this puppet, will the soldiers in the city still obey your orders?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "So all the Yellow Turban soldiers are following Zhang Jue. No wonder Zhang Liang is so afraid of his elder brother. Now that I have both the real and fake Zhang Jue in my hands, doesn't that mean I alone have the final say?"

Zhang Liang sneered twice and said, "Wei Xiaobao, if you let him go, I will spare your life."

Wei Xiaobao said, "General, all the arrows under your command are aimed at this room. If you give the order, my life will be in danger. I dare not throw away this life-saving talisman at this time."

Wei Xiaobao hid his head behind the fake Zhang Jiao as he spoke.

Zhang Liang said, "Don't think I'm being cautious. Even without General Tian Gong, would the soldiers in this city still be in chaos?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I have only one life left, so I'll take a gamble with you, General. Give the order to shoot."

Zhang Liang was also worried that without his elder brother, the soldiers in the city would rush out and surrender. However, he was unwilling to let Wei Xiaobao take advantage of his weakness, so he said, "You said in my tent that you had a way to persuade my elder brother to fight Lu Zhi to the death. I will give you one stick of incense. If you still can't find the answer, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the house. Everyone in the house knew what this meant.

Tang Qin shouted, "General, save me! General, save me!"

Zhang Liang turned his back to Tang Qin and said, "It's time for you to die for your country."

Zhang Liang closed the door from outside, leaving only Tang Qin's futile cries in the night sky.

Wei Xiaobao cursed, "Stop crying, you bastard, you have no balls, you turtle, you deserve to be pierced through the heart by arrows."

Shuang'er said, "Xiaobao, have you thought of any solution?"

Wei Xiaobao asked Shuang'er to press acupuncture points on Zhang Jiao's body. He then took out Lu Zhi's letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Jiao on the bed, saying, "This is the letter Lu Zhi asked me to give to you. I didn't intend to persuade you to surrender, but I didn't expect that you had already thought about surrendering."

Zhang Jue coughed twice and said, "I've already been seriously injured, so why should I implicate my brothers in the city? Who are you two, and why are you here in the middle of the night? Why are you lobbying for Lu Zhi? I just heard my third brother call you Wei Xiaobao, so could you be Chen Bai's sworn brother?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "It seems that after I met the fake Zhang Jue that day, Zhang Liang told you everything about me."

Wei Xiaobao said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. If you want to stay alive, I have a way."

Zhang Jue said, "I've long given up on escaping Guangzong County alive, so why bother struggling? But you can't hand him over to my third brother. Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this city will be buried with my two brothers."

Wei Xiaobao said, "Don't worry, Lu Zhi can't get in. It wasn't Lu Zhi who killed your bastard brother. He will die at the hands of Huangfu Song in the future."

Zhang Jue nodded and said, "It seems my third brother is right. You are indeed a disciple of the fox fairy, and you even have the ability to predict the future."

Wei Xiaobao glanced at Tang Qin and the fake Zhang Jiao, instantly understanding. He continued, "I'm not a disciple of a fox fairy, and this isn't some magical technique. This skill is called acupuncture. Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth. I came from over a thousand years later. Over a thousand years later, there was a man named Hong Antong who learned your magic. He also wanted to be the emperor, so he sent me here to find the jade seal. I promised Chen Bai to send you a letter, but in fact, I wanted to come find you and ask you to send me back. If you believe what I say, come back with me. That way, you don't have to worry about being killed by your third brother, and I can go back to my wives."

Wei Xiaobao said a lot of things in a flash, and then looked at Zhang Jue quietly.

Zhang Jue looked at Wei Xiaobao, nodded, and said, "I believe you."

Wei Xiaobao couldn't believe his ears and asked, "Do you really believe me?"

Zhang Jue said, "This spell was taught to me by my master, the Immortal Nanhua. No one else knows it except me, not even my second and third brothers. Not only do you know this spell, but you can also predict things that haven't happened yet. That's why I trust you."

When Wei Xiaobao heard Zhang Jue talking about the spell that had transported them here, he excitedly grabbed Shuang'er's hand and shouted, "Shuang'er, we can finally go back."

Shuang'er also nodded happily.

Zhang Jue sighed and said, "It's just that I've never used this spell before. If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have believed that this spell could really teleport people to the past or the future."

As Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er bandaged Zhang Jue's arm wound, they urged him, "Then give it a try! It's much better than waiting here to die. If it succeeds, you can teleport yourself to a time earlier than tonight and capture your bastard brother beforehand. Wouldn't that prevent what happened tonight?"

Zhang Jue nodded and said, "Young brother, you are indeed very clever. This way we can avoid a massacre."

Zhang Jue checked the wound on his arm, and then instructed Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er to take out a bunch of talismans and utensils from the box and arrange them on the ground according to the formation.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the familiar formation and said, "This is it. I was originally taught by Master Hong using this spell."

Zhang Jue nodded, asked Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er to help him to the center of the formation, closed his eyes and silently chanted a spell.

Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er held each other's hands tightly, not daring to relax at all.

Tang Qin looked at the bizarre scene before him and shouted, "General, come quickly! They are trying to escape."

Zhang Liang had no time to think about it after hearing this. He gave an order and all the bows and arrows were fired.

A rain of arrows penetrated the door and windows and shot into the room. Before the fake Zhang Jue and Tang Qin could shout, they were pierced by more than a dozen arrows. Before they died, they could only watch Wei Xiaobao and the others disappear in front of them.
