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

The man's face immediately changed: "My son, I'm obviously talking about you, what does that have to do with Confucianism?"

"correct."

Liu Bei nodded happily and said, "Grandmaster Lu gave me the order to command the army. What do my words and actions have to do with you?"

"You guy!"

This commander of officers and soldiers was obviously a man of bad temper. He was so angry that he wanted to step forward and grab Liu Bei's collar, but just as he took a step forward, he heard a "click" and the sword appeared next to his neck.

"...disrupting the morale of the army and ignoring the law. Could it be that you are the accomplice of these bandits?"

The sword was placed on his neck, and the commander of the officers and soldiers did not dare to breathe, with a helpless smile on his face.

He thought Liu Bei was young and easy to control, but he didn't expect that this guy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, waiting for someone like him to jump out, so as to establish his authority.

Should I say that he is truly worthy of being Master Lu’s disciple?

"Please calm down, sir."

The other commanders and military supervisors also changed their expressions and clasped their fists together, saying, "Xiong Lie may be a little impatient, but he has no intention of rebellion. We will treat your order as if we were meeting the governor, so we will naturally give priority to your order."

"So good."

Liu Bei knew that if he continued to add fuel to the fire or show some kindness, he would be able to completely calm these people down.

But this is the army of Luoyang military camp, he can only use it but not get it, so it is good enough that he can obey it for now.

Besides, it’s too late now.

"Shhhhh-"

When the bandits hiding in the dark saw the movement on their side, they immediately drew their bows and shot arrows.

Dozens of arrows came from all directions. Fortunately, these officers and soldiers were regular troops and their reaction was not slow. They immediately spread out their shields to block them.

Liu Bei immediately put away his sword and ordered, "Everyone, follow my orders!"

"...I'll listen to him."

"only!"

"Hahahaha, burn you bastards to death!"

The bandits in front were laughing wildly at this time. Although their weapons and equipment were not complete, they were able to intercept hundreds of officers and soldiers here with only dozens of people, so their lives were not lived in vain.

The reason why bandits are bandits and not refugees is that they are vicious criminals who do everything from murder to arson.

Even if this action will lead to extreme retaliation, they will not hesitate. If you ask the reason... Isn't it satisfying to disgust the imperial court?

When the bandits saw that a pale-faced scholar was commanding the army, they all laughed at them at first, thinking that the court had no one left, but what happened next shocked them.

These officers and soldiers avoided all the traps on the ground with extremely strange walking postures, and the archers hiding in the dark were shot dead before they could even shoot.

All the traps were useless in front of this group of soldiers and could not provide any blocking effect.

how can that be!

The bandits had painstakingly spent over half a month setting up their traps for today's ambush, but within less than half an hour, they were completely ineffective...

Could it be that there is an insider... But that's impossible. These traps are set by specific people. How can anyone remember all the traps set by everyone?

It did have a delaying effect at the beginning, but ever since that pale-faced scholar took over the command, he seemed to have opened his clairvoyance, which was simply outrageous.

"What should I do, boss?"

"They're coming...should we retreat?"

"Cannot withdraw."

Listening to the gossip around him, the bandit leader gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers are watching us. If we run away, it's all over. Do you think we can outrun the officers and soldiers?"

"What should I do?"

"...There's something strange about that pale-faced scholar. We should kill him. That way, we'll be safe."

Yes, no matter whether this guy really has opened his third eye or not, as long as they kill him, they can still besiege the officers and soldiers!

These bandits usually live a life of licking blood. Now that they have an accurate target, they all put on a grim smile and rushed forward.

Although there are hundreds of officers and soldiers, this is only the total number. The complicated routes in the forest make the troops somewhat scattered, and the front troops only have dozens of people.

Relying on their experience and light equipment, the bandits quickly avoided the layers of obstructions and came to the side of the pale-faced scholar.

"Quick, stop them!"

The two commanders, the military officer and the captain shouted hurriedly and ran towards this side at full speed.

"late."

The bandit leader looked at the boy who was standing there motionless, thinking that he was scared silly, and looked down on him even more.

Unfortunately, this contempt only lasted for less than a second.

Because the sword is unsheathed.

"Click."

The bandit leader was horrified. Just as he was about to put away his knife and retreat, he found that the scenery in front of him was getting farther and farther away...

Hey, why can I see my body? No... I'm already dead...

Blood was all over the green clothes, and a few drops even fell on the fair face.

But Liu Bei did not reach out to wipe it, but raised his sword and stabbed it backwards without hesitation!

"Uh…"

The man behind him seemed to be unable to anticipate this situation, and was caught off guard and his chest was pierced through.

Only then did Liu Bei slowly turn his head and said in a deep voice, "...So it's you, the military inspector."

Jiujiang County: Chapter 5: Once the Meat Legs Are Known to the World

"grown ups……"

The two commanders stood there, hesitation flashing in their eyes, as if they were about to say something, but Liu Bei interrupted them with a wave of his hand:

"All troops, listen to my orders. Those who resist fiercely will be killed, and those who surrender will not be killed."

"…only."

They looked at each other and knew that now was not the time to talk, so they left immediately to give orders.

After Liu Bei and the others left, he looked at the two bodies on the ground and sighed slightly.

He did not feel any compassion. If he forgave someone when they wanted to kill him, that would not be kindness but stupidity.

The so-called doing good is within the scope of one's ability. If it exceeds the scope of one's ability, it can never be called good.

He just lamented that this was obviously not the end, but the beginning of a conspiracy.

The normal process of suppressing a rebellion is nothing more than: departure, arrival, taking office as the prefect on the spot after the rebellion is successfully suppressed, and replacing him with someone else if the rebellion fails.

It was impossible for them to be attacked just after leaving Luoyang according to the imperial order.

This was clearly premeditated, and the person behind this plot must be connected to the barbarian rebellion...

Sure enough, without a certain status and official position, one would still be in the game even if he left Luoyang.

I don’t even know who is behind this or what he wants to do… Whatever.

Liu Bei did not think further. He first wiped the blood off the sword with the clothes of the two corpses, then turned around and returned to the carriage. Just then, he heard a light sound.

“…The military supervisor is from the Yang family.”

Master Lu stared intently at his returning disciple with a calm expression, as if he had witnessed the entire scene even though he had not left the carriage.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "If it was really the Yang family who did it, they wouldn't have done it so obviously."

Although Jia Xu didn't have Master Lu's magical powers, he did have his own conclusion after hearing a few words: "Xuan De, don't overestimate others. Even the top families are not all smart people."

What she meant was that she thought the Yang family was the one who did it.

The branch of the Hongnong Yang family that is in power is naturally full of old foxes, but there are also many idiots in other branches, but they are not as famous.

Master Lu looked at her with some surprise: "As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter."

"Mr. Lu, you are too kind."

Jia Xu smiled and bowed, then looked at Liu Bei who was still standing there. While patting the seat beside him, he said in a very natural tone: "Xuan De, you must have made such a long trip. Come and rest for a while."

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders."

Liu Bei glanced at the teacher, and seeing that the latter had no objection, he asked Jia Xu to sit down.

As a result, the turtle immediately moved towards him.

Jia Xu's figure is that of a typical 'mature woman', with a protruding front and a curved back, slender and well-shaped calves, and plump thighs, which can be called a pair of 'meaty legs'.

He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he was so close, Liu Bei immediately felt the soft weight.

He had an idea in his mind and looked straight ahead, looking very much like a gentleman who adheres to the principle of not looking at what is inappropriate.

"It's really hard work."

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he pretended to be natural and took Liu Bei's hand, kneading it gently while saying with a smile: "...What happened outside just now? Can Xuande tell me?"

"Naturally."

Liu Bei could feel that his right palm was placed on top of Jia Xu's thigh. The latter often "accidentally" used too much force, causing his palm to rub against the thigh several times, but only briefly.

Looking back, Jia Xu's expression was still very natural, as if he had no bad intentions at all.

"..."

Mr. Lu on the opposite side looked at the couple and was unable to join in the conversation for a moment.

Logically speaking, this was her absolute home turf, but somehow Jia Xu took over the initiative of the topic and even took away her disciples.

But Master Lu was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at his disciple with some interest, and then nodded slightly.

"I see……"

After listening to Liu Bei's story, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes even more and asked suspiciously, "The military supervisor wants to stab Xuande in the back... Is it just the military supervisor?"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Xu's expression darkened slightly. He placed Liu Bei's hand on his thigh and murmured, "The bandits laid an ambush here in such an organized manner that the officers and soldiers' vanguard spies didn't hear a word of the situation at all, and they all fell into their trap..."

"When the battle was fierce, it would have been fine for the military supervisor not to take action, but if he did, whether he killed Xuande or not, he would have been killed... But he still took action."

Liu Bei was a little confused: "He thinks that as long as he doesn't die on the spot, someone will protect him? But..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned around, hugged Jia Xu and lay down on the ground.

"Boom-bang!"

The next second, the entire roof of the carriage was torn apart, and two black figures fell from the sky, swinging their swords at Master Lu and Liu Bei without hesitation.

Although Liu Bei did not see the two men in time, he also sensed the murderous intent, so he shook his waist forward with force, and the scabbard and sword rolled forward together.

Then a small hand gently took it, and the next second the sword was unsheathed.

"Crack."

The sword was as cold as iron and trembled slightly.

In stark contrast to Liu Bei's fancy swordsmanship, Master Lu simply thrust his sword forward after drawing it.

The enormous force coupled with the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye swords that can cut through iron like mud, the effect is obviously greater than the sum of the parts.

This sword directly pierced through the sword in front of him, and also pierced through the chest, piercing the two villains together, like a candied haws.

"Clang."

The iron sword fell powerlessly.

But the two villains who were about to die didn't even groan, but just quickly punched Master Lu in the face.

Master Lu sighed slightly and threw a punch forward. His small hand, which looked like it could hardly hold a scripture, actually smashed the two villains into the inner wall of the carriage.

"…iron?"

Master Lu looked at his red fist, then took two steps forward and cut off the villain's sleeve with the tip of his sword.

The hand exposed outside did not have flesh and blood like a normal person, but was made of a whole piece of black iron emitting a cold light.
