Liu Bei: My younger brother is a deity.

The group was about to reach the south city wall.

At that moment, a commotion arose from behind.

Someone shouted in Xianbei language:

"They've run away! They've run away!"

"Go find it quickly."

The entire city seemed to be suddenly awakened, and large numbers of Xianbei people poured into the streets.

"The Xianbei have discovered us!" Zhao's mother's heart skipped a beat.

"Ah Quan, what should we do?" Liu Bei asked in a low voice.

"Follow me!" Liu Quan said.

He quickened his pace, leading the three women and Liu Bei through a maze of turns, until they arrived at a secluded courtyard.

This residence is not far from the south city wall. It is uninhabited and was a stronghold that Liu Quan had chosen long ago.

Push the door open and enter.

A strong, putrid stench emanated from inside.

Several corpses lay scattered in the yard.

Liu Quan ignored the corpse and stepped over it into the house.

The three Zhao women walked around the corpse and then entered the house.

Liu Bei walked to the door of the room, but in the end, he couldn't bear to do it.

He sighed, turned around and went into the courtyard. Holding his breath, he dragged the corpses one by one toward the woodshed on the left.

"Young Master Yu, aren't you going to help?" Zhao Rong asked softly.

Liu Quan shook his head and said in a deliberately cold tone, "There's no need to waste my energy. Unlike A Bei, who is kind-hearted, I am hard-hearted."

After cleaning up the body, Liu Bei came over and said, "Ah Quan, I'm afraid we can't hide here for much longer."

The commotion in the city grew louder and louder; the sounds of doors being kicked open, Xianbei curses, and Han cries could be heard...

Liu Quan's expression darkened slightly. He gave Liu Bei a wink and said, "Wait a little longer, we'll be leaving soon."

Liu Bei understood and went to rest to the side, completely ignoring Zhao Rong beside him.

Liu Quan was taken aback. "No, what about the brotherly understanding? I wanted you to take this opportunity to get to know Zhao Rong and show off your skills in making friends!"

Liu Quan glanced at Zhao Rong out of the corner of his eye.

The girl was secretly glancing towards A-Bei.

He felt a surge of joy; it seemed that A-Bei's act of kindness had indeed attracted the girl.

Just as Liu Quan was preparing to use his prepared methods, he suddenly saw two squads of Xianbei soldiers coming in this direction through the drone's perspective.

A thought struck him, and he turned to Liu Bei and said, "Abei, I'm going out to investigate. You guard the house."

Liu Bei assumed that Liu Quan was preparing to go out and use his magical powers, so he nodded and replied, "Go ahead, I'll stay here."

Liu Quan left the house and hid in the shadows.

Seeing one of the two squads of Xianbei soldiers walk towards the courtyard, he was delighted, "Good, this saves me trouble."

The courtyard gate was kicked open, and the door panel slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Five Xianbei men filed in, the first carrying a torch, the other four carrying knives and spears, cursing under their breath.

The firelight illuminated the courtyard and also the figure of Liu Bei.

Knowing he couldn't hide, Liu Bei simply stood in front of the door with his sword.

"Han people!" The leader of the Xianbei people grinned and rushed forward, swinging his sword to strike.

Instead of retreating, Liu Bei advanced, parrying the incoming blade with a single stroke, and then thrusting a hidden short sword from his left hand straight into the man's chest.

He kicked the corpse aside, and as he drew his knife, drops of blood splattered all over the ground.

The other four Xianbei men, their eyes reddening, rushed forward.

Liu Bei guarded the entrance, his swords flashing, keeping the four men firmly outside, refusing to retreat an inch.

But this commotion caused quite a stir.

Hurried footsteps and shouts came from the other end of the street. Another group of Xianbei people rushed over upon hearing the noise. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, they joined the battle without saying a word.

Ten people were crammed into the narrow courtyard, swords and spears clashing, firelight flickering wildly. Liu Bei took a knife to the shoulder, groaned, gritted his teeth, and refused to back down.

Inside the room, Zhao's mother held her daughter-in-law's hand tightly, her face pale and her lips pressed together. Both women gripped their hairpins tightly in their hands.

Zhao Bao's wife held her daughter in her arms, her body trembling slightly.

Zhao Rong broke free from her mother's arm, went to the door, and peered out through the crack in the door.

In the firelight, the long-armed, big-eared youth stood alone in front of the door, brandishing his sword and covered in blood, never retreating an inch.

At that moment, in Zhao Rong's eyes, Liu Bei's figure was so tall and imposing.

At this moment, a Xianbei soldier secretly circled around to Liu Bei's side and silently thrust out the wooden spear in his hand.

Zhao Rong couldn't help but exclaim, "Watch out for the left!"

Liu Bei had already noticed the Xianbei man's little trick. He cleaved the wooden spear in two with a backhand slash, then jumped to the side and cleaved the Xianbei soldier's neck with another slash.

The remaining Xianbei people didn't care about Liu Bei; they only sent two people to hold him off while the rest rushed into the house.

"Inside the house, inside the house."

"I heard the sound."

"Go and arrest them!"

Liu Bei's face darkened. Despite taking another blow, he killed the two Xianbei men blocking his way and charged into the crowd, shouting, "Don't be afraid, I won't let them hurt you... Quan is coming soon."

Zhao Rong's eyes welled up with tears.

In the shadows outside the courtyard, Liu Quan pressed himself against the wall, observing everything.

He could have acted a moment earlier, but he didn't.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

Liu Bei's bravery, his perseverance, and his kindness in comforting the three women even in dire straits were more effective than any seduction techniques.

"Pangu, your plan is quite good," Liu Quan thought to himself.

Just as he spotted the two groups of Xianbei people through the drone's view, Pangu made this plan in the blink of an eye, and it seems to be working very well.

"That's about it!" Liu Quan thought to himself.

"A-Bei, I'm here!"

With a loud shout, Liu Quan shot into the courtyard through the gate.

With a steel knife in hand, one is like a tiger among sheep.

In a few leaps and bounds, he slaughtered the Xianbei people in the courtyard, leaving only the survivors who fled in terror.

Liu Quan was not about to let them escape; he chased after them and dealt with them one by one.

When they returned, they saw Liu Bei leaning against the door frame with his sword, and Zhao Rong standing beside him looking at his wound, her eyes red.

Liu Bei's expression was somewhat unnatural, a mixture of embarrassment and a hint of enjoyment.

"A-Bei, how badly are you hurt?" Liu Quan asked, feigning concern.

Liu Bei seemed startled and quickly said, "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

Zhao's mother walked out, supporting herself on the door frame. She looked at Liu Bei, who was covered in blood, and then at Liu Quan, who was calm and composed. She took a deep breath.

She didn't say much, but solemnly curtsied to Liu Bei and then to Liu Quan.

Zhao's wife pulled her daughter aside and whispered something to her.

Her daughter suddenly opened the door, which really startled her, but luckily her two young men were brave enough to help...

Zhao Rong was being pulled along by her mother, but she couldn't hear what her mother was saying. Her eyes kept glancing towards Liu Bei, where she saw Liu Quan bandaging Liu Bei's wounds. She secretly regretted not having learned these skills...

"Ah Quan, how's the preparation going? Should we change locations? We made quite a commotion just now, and I'm afraid it will attract more Xianbei dogs," Liu Bei whispered.

"No need for that trouble. Don't worry, the Xianbei will be too busy to care about us soon," Liu Quan said with a mysterious smile.

As night fell, a bird took flight.

This bird is very strange; it seems to have something on its head.
