Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

It has a unique texture, is more tender and smoother than Cao Mengde, and seems boneless.

Sure enough, the older a woman gets, the stronger her facial care ability becomes.

Before the hamster could say anything, footsteps suddenly sounded on the ground, followed by the voices of officers and soldiers greeting each other.

Liu Bei and Chen Xu were on the street. When they looked back, they saw hundreds of officers and soldiers passing by.

The leader was a black-haired beauty.

The woman wore a feather crown on her head, and was dressed in a red and black robe. Around her waist was a silver belt inlaid with jade, and a green jade pendant hung on her waist.

This piece of clothing is obviously a men's style. The waist is very tight, and the collar is even wider, bulging due to two things.

The woman's figure is taller than that of ordinary women, but she is plump where it should be plump and thin where it should be thin. The proportions are simply perfect!

And those slender eyes, coupled with long and narrow eyelashes, give people a sense of heroism and grandeur that looks down on the world.

If Chen Xu, who is also a queen type, is a cunning fox, then the woman in front of him is condescending, fearless, and even a "domineering female president."

And that person... if it's not Cao Cao or Cao Mengde, then who else could it be?!

When Liu Bei turned his head, he saw her first. He was so frightened that the barbecue in his hand fell to the ground. He felt like he was caught cheating.

When he finally reacted and wanted to acknowledge her based on the principle of "a man of integrity has nothing to fear", Chen Xu beside him suddenly pulled his wrist hard, then leaned forward with her whole body and pressed him against the door of the tavern.

"What are you doing..."

"Shh!"

Chen Xu was so close that their noses were almost touching, and his pair of auspicious phoenix eyes showed a rare bit of seriousness.

Liu Bei was really frightened by her for a moment.

But on the other hand, Cao Cao's intuition was quite accurate. She shifted her gaze almost the moment Liu Bei noticed her.

Unfortunately, all he could see was Chen Xu's back, and it seemed like she was having an affair with a man.

"In broad daylight... Humph, Luoyang has seen a lot of romantic figures lately."

Cao Cao stared for a few seconds, then turned around and continued walking forward.

As the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, her duty is to deal with public security issues in this area. Now that a thief has appeared in the area, she must arrest him quickly without hesitation.

"Alas... If Xuande were here, he would have caught these thieves long ago..."

A sigh.

At this time, Chen Xu also whispered: "At this moment, do not let the officers and soldiers know that you are the 'Liu Xuande' who is on good terms with the Northern Lieutenant Cao."

"What do you mean?"

"Jian Shuo is probably worried about not finding a good excuse," Chen Xu explained calmly, "and if you rashly approach and recognize Cao Mengde, wouldn't that prove that the young man who seemed to have tried to stop him earlier was actually a member of the Cao family?"

"In this way, wouldn't it be like handing the handle over to yourself, like tying up cattle and sheep yourself?"

Kindness: Chapter 25: The blood of nobles is also red

Because thieves had infiltrated the capital, the northern city gate had been blocked and many more people had been added to other places.

Luoyang is the residence of the emperor, and the eyes of the whole world are on it. If this matter is not resolved quickly and beautifully, it may cause the bad guys to become disloyal.

The people at the top may fight with each other, but none of them are fools. Even if some of them are just pretending, they have to do it well.

Logically speaking, this force is definitely fatal. Even if the heroes suddenly mutated and gained an extra pair of wings, it would be difficult for them to escape.

But when the common people heard that this villain was Zhang Jian, one of the "Eight Ji" who was an old friend of the "Three Lords" who was famous throughout the world a few years ago, the situation changed a little.

"Master Zhang, please come this way!"

A burly man made way, pointed to the side and rear, and said, "This is a small path, not many people know about it, it can keep your life safe!"

"Hey, brave man..." someone immediately suggested, "You've shown us the way, but I'm afraid something unexpected might happen. Why don't you leave with us?"

"No need. I have a family here and I can't abandon them."

The burly man shook his head, then called out to the neighbors and the audience. They walked closely back and forth on the street, using their bodies as a wall.

Zhang Jian, surrounded by righteous men, was immediately filled with indignation when he saw this scene: "How can they sacrifice the lives of others for me? There is no justice in the world! Let me go, I want to persuade them."

"Master Zhang, it's too late! The soldiers are about to catch up!"

"So what? I'm already quite content to have survived from those days to this day," Zhang Jian continued. "It's a pity that I haven't been able to present this treasure to you, my Lord..."

The heroes looked at each other and nodded to each other. The next second, they forcibly lifted the old man up and started to run away.

Zhang Jian was well-known, and regardless of whether he really had to say this, as his followers, these righteous men naturally would not do as he wished.

Of course, this is not due to fear of death.

If Zhang Jian didn't have the 'fragment' on him, they wouldn't mind dying with him, but... in that case, the fragment would belong to the imperial court, and all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Absolutely not.

Even if it means risking our lives, we must escort Lord Zhang Jian out of the city.

The idea was good, but the heroes still underestimated the officers and soldiers.

"call out--"

An arrow shot from nowhere cruelly took the lives of the two heroes in the blink of an eye.

"There are bows and arrows, be careful to dodge!"

In a flash, three more warriors stepped forward, drew their swords, and tried to intercept the incoming arrows, but unfortunately...

No one knew what material the arrow was made of, nor how much strength the archer had, but the arrow actually pierced through the sword and passed through the hero's forehead.

In just a moment, five righteous men died.

The 'flesh wall' formed by the common people in front finally encountered the soldiers, but...

"I am Jian Min from the Jian family. Don't try to stop me!"

Jian Min came with the imperial guards. It was obvious that the bandits were in front of them, but the ignorant common people in front of him actually rushed forward to stop them. It was really hateful and despicable!

He was only awakened for two or three seconds before he suddenly laughed sinisterly again: "If that's the case... come here, these are the villains who are protecting the party members, why don't you kill them right here and there!"

"what?"

This order made the adjutant stunned: "But sir, doing so might hurt others."

"I don't care about whether he gets along with others or not!"

Jian Min covered his ears, which hurt from the shouting, and ordered again: "Kill them! These are all your achievements. For every one killed, my Jian family will reward you with a hundred gold coins!"

"..."

Birds roost in good trees, and people die for money. This is an eternal truth.

Moreover, these imperial guards were all descendants of the nobility, so naturally they would not be interested in the former officials of the three emperors who were their rivals. They only wanted money and achievements to pave the way for their future official careers.

As a result, both sides fell into a stalemate.

But there is always a way out. The closer you get to death, the closer you are to success.

When dozens of arrows flew towards Zhang Jian's face, several black figures jumped out from the darkness and shot down the arrows with their superb swordsmanship and fearless will.

The material of this arrow is really powerful, but no one would be so extravagant as to make the arrow body with this material, so you just need to find the right time and hit the arrow body with force.

"go!"

The remaining heroes also knew that the situation was critical, so they just bowed to the black shadows and did not dare to stay for a moment.

After they all left, just as the group of shadows were about to turn around and go to protect Li Shu, a shout came from afar: "Stop!"

Turning around, I saw that it was the tall woman, Cao Cao.

"…Are we brothers going to mess with this guy?"

"I ran into this guy at noon when I tried to kidnap Master Bei. Now I'm trying to kidnap Li Shu and I'm running into this guy again... This is outrageous."

"Stop talking. Now that she's here, let's go back to Master Bei."

“…You go first.”

"Old Five, did you discover something?"

"Something seems to be wrong with that group of heroes. I will return to you later. You go back and ensure your safety first."

"Fine, but I'll go with you."

The shadows talked for only a moment before disappearing from the spot.

But the real owner arrived late at this time.

Cao Cao glanced ahead. With her keen eyesight, she naturally saw the group of black figures, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

But this was not a good time to think about men. She turned her head to look at Jian Min who was also looking at her, and anger appeared on both of their faces.

"Jian Min, you have repeatedly persecuted loyal and honest people, and now you are trying to harm the people of the Han Dynasty. What is your intention?!"

"Cao Cao..."

Jian Min covered his ears and took a few steps back, his eyes constantly dodging, as if he was looking for the handsome man next to Cao Cao.

Sadly, there is no trace of it.

Even so, Jian Min did not have the courage to confront Cao Cao, the Northern Lieutenant, in Luoyang. He just snorted with a sullen face: "Let's go."

"Still want to leave? Surround them all!"

At Cao Cao's command, all the officers and soldiers rushed forward to surround the imperial guards. Jian Min, the leader, was frightened by the situation and shouted, "I am Jian Shuo's relative. I just want to kill the people. Who dares to touch me? Who can touch me?"

"Hehehe..."

Cao Cao laughed immediately after hearing this, but then her eyes turned cold. "Although I was born into an official family, I still know right from wrong and justice. But you hold great power, yet you treat the world as a plaything. Aren't you nothing more than a reckless beast?"

"So what? You dare..."

"dare."

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to hold Jian Min. Cao Cao did not hesitate at all, drew his sword and beheaded him immediately.

Blood flew everywhere, staining the ground red.

It was not until now that the common people discovered that the blood of these high and mighty nobles was also red.

"She actually did it. She's worthy of being called Boss Cao."

On the other side, Liu Bei, who was leaning on the street, silently withdrew his gaze, and then walked away from the city with Chen Xu.

If Cao Cao had not swung his sword just now, Liu Bei would have rushed out to fight Jian Min to the death.

Kindness: Chapter 26: The New Wave and the Old Wave

Although the gates of Luoyang were blocked, Chen Xu, who was skilled in escaping, knew many small ways out of the city.

These paths were originally built by former nobles to ensure that they could leave the city as soon as possible in the event of future riots in Luoyang.

It’s a pity that in today’s world, as long as you have money, you can use this small road to leave the city, and your identity is not even a question.

It seems that Chen Xu is indeed quite wealthy. He didn't even open his eyes when giving money... Well, this may be because of his nature.

But in this case, Senior Sister Gongsun has the money provided by Gongsun every month, Cao Cao's Cao family is even richer, and I... at least on the surface, I am a poor boy.

Why not cling tightly to these rich women so that you can have an excuse to show off your wealth in the future?

Liu Bei was somewhat tempted, but he still had to save face, so he turned his head to look at Sister Chen Xu beside him, thought for a while, and said: "Give me some money."

"?"

Chen Xu first looked at him in disbelief for a while, and then he actually took out a heavy amount of money, but his eyes were looking at something not very good.

"Sure, but what are you going to give me in return?"

The tone was subtle, and the look in his eyes was extremely subtle, as if hinting at something not so good.

But this was too easy for Liu Bei. He just raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Xu with disdain, his peach blossom eyes full of disgust.

This is the decisive blow.

Chen Xu was held captive for five seconds, and his body involuntarily handed over the purse, not forgetting to wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe... yes, it's that look... that look of disdain... huh? Wait a minute!"
