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

"…unbelievable."

Liu Bei's eyes widened. He thought that he was complacent at first because he thought he had the fragments of Chixiao, but now after seeing the master's amazing skills, he was completely convinced.

No wonder he is the master and he is the disciple, there must be a reason.

Presumably, the reason why she failed to detect this ambush in advance was because these people were considered "cyborgs", equivalent to inanimate objects, so she failed to detect it.

But this is still a bit exaggerated.

Liu Bei knew that Master Lu had the confidence to attack the warship alone, but he did not expect that her confidence was so strong.

With this kind of martial arts, there is no need to worry about injustice in the world... Uh, no wonder he is a washboard, it turns out that he was exchanged for martial arts that can bring peace to the world.

"Master, this is what I want to learn!"

It’s a pity that Master Lu couldn’t hear Liu Bei’s words.

She scanned the entire area from the air, and after noticing that the officers and soldiers were rushing towards her, she lightly tapped one foot and fell gently backwards.

"Master!"

Liu Bei glared, kicked his feet quickly, used the branch as a fulcrum, and suddenly jumped into the air, catching the little teacher falling from the sky with both hands.

Unfortunately, he misjudged the strength.

The huge impact force caused Liu Bei to retreat violently, and he and his teacher fell into the tunnel dug by the bandits.

This tunnel was naturally malicious. There were sharp objects at the bottom to ensure that anyone who fell would be pierced instantly.

At the critical moment, Liu Bei Pan Ran thrust his sword into the mud wall with all his might, while holding the little teacher in his other hand, his whole body appeared to be hanging upside down.

"…call."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

When I was carrying the Master on my back earlier, I knew that he was very heavy, but the situation was critical just now and I naturally couldn't care less.

As long as we are all alive, that’s enough.

Liu Bei thought of this and looked down at the Master with concern. As a result...

The girl with silver hair and red eyes had her eyes closed, her mouth slightly open, and her breathing was slow and rhythmic.

"zzzz..."

Are you fucking sleeping?

Liu Bei's face darkened, and he shouted repeatedly: "Master? Master!"

Perhaps because the voice was so close to him, the silly teacher actually opened his eyes.

But she said nothing, just stared at his face blankly.

How could she be the fairy who just 'blasted the enemy into dust with one move'? She was clearly just a sleepyhead.

"Master..." Liu Bei said helplessly, "Stop it, I'm running out of energy..."

Master Lu was already an overweight warrior, and with Liu Bei's weight added to it, it was naturally difficult for him to hold on with just one hand.

“Aaaaaa…”

Unexpectedly, the long-awaited Master Lu made a strange baby-like sound from his mouth, and then gave him a sweet and silly smile.

"...?"

Master Lu suddenly reached out and touched Liu Bei's face, then pulled his cheek as if he were pinching a toy, and said with a grin: "Xuan De, Xuan De, you are so handsome."

Liu Bei thought about this teacher who no longer had the dignity she used to have, and suddenly felt that her appearance and age... seemed younger?

Jiujiang County: Chapter 8: You slutty fox are not allowed to touch Xuande!

"Xuande!"

Just as Master Lu was pulling Liu Bei's cheek, a delicate voice came from the cave entrance above. The two looked up and saw Jia Xu's face.

Master Lu curled his lips: "Humph, the vixen is here to snatch Xuande away..."

"?"

"Master," Liu Bei looked helplessly at this unreliable master, "Did you fall and hurt your head?"

Lu Zhi was not a very serious and rigid person, but at least even if she was beaten to death, she would never utter the three words "fox spirit".

This has nothing to do with her personality. Her many years of experience in studying Confucian classics will undoubtedly make her subconsciously avoid these "indecent" words.

"You're the one who fell down!"

Master Lu said coquettishly, "My little disciple, don't go against me, or I'll beat you into a pig's head!"

?

Okay, okay, this is really a blow to the head.

After Liu Bei confirmed that the Master was unreliable, he shouted upwards: "Wenhe, there should be some scattered weapons outside. Throw them down here."

"Ah, but you're still in there..."

"Throw it away quickly, or you'll be in big trouble later."

"Alright alright."

Jia Xu retreated tremblingly. After a while, he came back with a large sword and threw one down tentatively.

"call out--"

Liu Bei calmly watched the sword falling from the sky, until it was about to reach him, then he suddenly exerted force with his feet.

With incredible strength, he stepped on the sword in his hand, then reached out to grab the falling sword and thrust it hard into the cave wall.

This set of movements is smooth and flowing, but the force used in the process is so strong that it can knock someone away with one punch...

Liu Bei exhaled, then sighed to the master in his arms: "Master, would you please put your arms around my neck so that I can free my hands?"

Master Lu looked at him and smiled leisurely: "No."

"...Master."

"What can you do if you go up there?" Master Lu sniffed. "Let that old woman come out and pretend to play the master-disciple game with you?"

This was a bit confusing, but Liu Bei had the thinking of later generations and subconsciously replied: "Why, Master, do you have a dual personality?"

"Dual personality?"

Master Lu tilted his head. "Double equals two, two equals one, and what makes a person a person is their character... Oh, that statement does make some sense, but it's not right."

Seeing her eagerness to speak at length, Liu Bei had no desire to listen. He was afraid he would collapse from exhaustion.

He quickly interrupted, "Master, please hold my neck tightly."

"..."

Master Lu raised his head, stared at those peach blossom eyes for a long time before pouting his lips slightly and nodded reluctantly.

A pair of small hands silently hung on his neck, and Liu Bei slowly released the other hand, then clamped the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye swords below with his feet and lifted them up with force.

At the same time, he reached out to take the famous sword given by Queen Song and perfectly put it into the scabbard.

"Throw it down again!"

Liu Bei continued shouting, and Jia Xu above was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses and continued throwing his sword.

Liu Bei followed this method and moved upwards step by step. The teacher in his arms pouted higher and higher as the height got higher.

After a while, Liu Bei finally jumped out of the cave, wiped the tears from his head, and complained: "How can these people have the energy and mind to dig such a deep hole? They are crazy!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and was about to reach out to help wipe the sweat off his face, but was slapped away by the white-haired girl.

"Slutty fox, don't touch Xuande!"

"...?"

Jia Xu looked at this 'food-guarding girl' in a strange way and asked, "Did you do this?"

"What did you ask me to do?" Liu Bei spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know why the master has become like this..."

Master Lu curled his lips unhappily upon hearing this, and when he was about to teach this unfilial disciple who had his arm pointed outward a lesson, his eyes became confused.

Then the lively, agile and innocent look immediately disappeared, replaced by the usual calm and composed look.

"Master?"

Liu Bei asked tentatively: "Are you okay?"

Master Lu first looked at Liu Bei and Jia Xu, then looked down at himself, and said in a deep thought: "Master, I am naturally fine. The surrounding officers and soldiers will arrive soon, and we can rest here for a while."

Liu Bei and Jia Xu exchanged a glance, realizing at the same time that the Master was trying to pretend that what had just happened hadn't happened, and was just trying to get by with it...

Liu Bei thought about it and was about to ask further questions, but he noticed that Master Lu's face was pale, his eyes were slightly gloomy, and he seemed to be about to faint.

He quickly took off his coat and spread it on the ground, helped Master Lu sit on it, then looked at Jia Xu, who immediately handed him the water bottle from his waist.

After drinking the water, Master Lu's complexion improved slightly. Before the soldiers arrived, he took the initiative to speak:

"Some things are not suitable for discussion. Xuande has something on his mind, and I, the Master, have something on my mind as well. We can leave these for another day."

Master Lu really had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.

Just as Liu Bei had guessed before, she did have a 'fragment of the Heavenly Dao' in her body, and it was a rather large portion.

But this fragment wasn't obtained through the Jian family's painstaking efforts, but was possessed since birth...

From this perspective, Lu Zhi is undoubtedly the true agent of Heaven, and is bound to be the mortal enemy of the holder of Chixiao.

However, during his subsequent growth, he studied with great scholars, traveled around the world, and actively explored ancient books... These experiences made Lu Zhi deeply feel the pain of struggle and the hardships of the common people.

The world today is a mess. If I really get involved in the continued war between Tiandao and Chixiao, it will lead to tragic consequences with all lives destroyed.

Although Lu Zhi did not have the loyalty to the emperor until death, she had the determination to protect the country.

This thought caused her soul to split from the fragments of the Heavenly Dao. It would be fine if she only called upon a small part, but if she used all her strength, she would appear younger and even regain her 'childlike innocence'.

Liu Bei said that this was a dual personality, but in fact, it was the external that led the internal, that is, a person's childlike innocence that had long been lost sprouted again.

But Master Lu was Master Lu after all. She quickly used her inner self to guide her outer self and regained her heart of Taoism.

But unfortunately, she estimated that if she tried her best two more times, she would completely lose her childishness and turn into a young girl just like her appearance...

In fact, it will be smaller.

The reason why he did not tell Liu Bei about this was to be wary of "Heaven's Way".

Great-grandfather and the Way of Heaven are complete enemies. It is okay for him to suppress the fragments of the Way of Heaven at this time, but once the matters related to the Way of Heaven are revealed to Liu Bei, he will definitely be able to sense the breath of his own 'Way of Heaven' fragments.

When Tiandao and Chixiao meet, a life-and-death battle will begin, and it will end in a life-and-death outcome.

Although Liu Bei seemed to be able to allow Chi Xiao and the Heavenly Dao fragment to coexist before, Lu Zhi knew that this was only to a certain extent. If the Heavenly Dao fragment was too large, he would still not be able to suppress it.

In order not to hurt her little disciple, Lu Zhi had put in a lot of effort...

Who told that Night Scarlet Sky Fragment to rush in without a second thought...

Lu Zhi sighed deeply, not knowing how long she could suppress her anger, nor what she would become in the future. But at least now she didn't want her disciples to suffer any injustice or even the slightest harm.

At this time, the officers and soldiers who had arrived late finally arrived at the scene.

Jiujiang County: Chapter 9: Xuande, it's really fun to follow you

Liu Bei suddenly remembered the anime he watched in his previous life, where officers and soldiers would basically wait until the matter was over before arriving.

Normally, as soon as that huge warship appeared in the sky, there should have been secret guards coming to check it out... but there was no one in sight.

Speaking of which, when I first started walking on this official road, I didn't see any pedestrians along the way...

Maybe someone is interfering.

We had just gotten rid of the Jian family, and before we even reached Jiujiang County, another enemy hiding in the dark suddenly appeared. This world is really full of difficulties.

Lu Zhi was chatting with these officers and soldiers, apparently telling them what had just happened, and Liu Bei took this opportunity to come to the center of the forest.

The secret guards' iron arms were scattered in a pile, and the bodies of officers, soldiers, and bandits fell helplessly to the ground, their expressions showing terror.

"Why, you can't bear it?"
