After Zhao Yun and others broke out from Xinye, a sky lantern (Kongming Lantern) rose from somewhere outside the city. Then, a strange army suddenly appeared outside the west gate, south gate, and north gate and launched rockets outside the city. , was thrown into the city, and then flew away without stopping. But behind them, they left a city submerged in a sea of fire.
However, unlike in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Ren did not escape from the east gate, but left through the west gate after reorganizing his troops. Therefore, in the original story, Guan Yu flooded Cao Ren, but later Zhang Fei intercepted and killed Cao Ren, which was not staged. This is the first time Yin Kuang has changed the plot. Although Yin Kuang himself does not know which plot the current Battle of Chibi will follow, intuitively, Yin Kuang prefers "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he thought that because of him information, and changed the plot.
When Yin Kuang took advantage of the chaos to escape from Xinye, he also received a reminder from the principal: "Friendship of Lord Black Arrow +2." Thinking about it, this should be a meager reward for providing information to him. This made Yin Kuang sigh: "The principal is really stingy. At least give the plot a twist." After escaping from Xinye, Yin Kuang rode away in the direction of Zhao Yun.
Around when the sun was rising, Yin Kuang caught up with Zhao Yun and his group - of course, Yin Kuang was more willing to believe that it was Zhao Yun who stayed behind to wait for him. Zhao Yun would rather bear the risk of being overtaken by Cao's army, and stay behind to wait for Yin Kuang. This kind of loyalty touched Yin Kuang's heart, and he sighed secretly, "Why do I stand on the opposite side of him?"
Yin Kuang jumped off his horse, cupped his fists and saluted, "General." He couldn't help but secretly look up at Zhao Yun, but found that he couldn't see his face clearly. Because his entire body was wrapped in coagulated blood. How shocking this must be. However, his rise was enough to make Yin Kuang a head taller. The chest is also wider than Yin Kuang's. Standing there, there is a sense of calmness in the mountain, as if it is unshakable.
Zhao Yun looked Yin Kuang up and down with his starry eyes, then patted Yin Kuang's shoulder hard, and said in a magnetic voice: "Good boy, well done, well done! After I go back, I will serve you in front of the lord." Please do your best."
"Thank you, General. However, this is what subordinates should do..."
Zhao Yun waved his hand, and following his movements, the armor he was wearing made a crisp clashing sound, "No need to say more! My lord often says that merit must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished. Otherwise, how can you convince the public. Just follow me to see the lord." Yes." After saying that, he got on his horse and said: "Hurry up and get on his horse!" The ten Zhao Yun's guards were silent and got on their horses uniformly. Yin Kuang could only do as he was told.
"General, I have one more thing to report." Yin Kuang said.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Yin Kuang said: "After the general left, a group of cavalry appeared at each of the west, south, and north gates of Xinye. After shooting some rockets, they left quickly, and a raging fire broke out in Xinye City. I think this should be the military counselor's clever plan. Burn three places and leave one. But now... Cao Ren escaped from the west gate... "
Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, and then he said: "You don't need to take it to heart. Our first task is to delay Cao Ren's army. A fire at this moment will probably burn most of his soldiers. If we don't rest and regroup, it will be difficult to form an army, and how can we pursue it?" Lord? If the military advisor pursues the matter, I will also be responsible." After saying that, he gave Yin Kuang a reassuring look, pulled the reins, and galloped away.
Yin Kuang and ten other guards quickly followed.
Then, the twelve riders made a large circle and went upstream along a river. Near noon, we came to a ferry. At this time, the ferry was also crowded with people, stretching along the river bank for dozens of miles. Needless to say, these are the people who fled with Liu Bei from Xinye. The river is also full of boats of all sizes, also stretching out.
Looking at the ragged people in front of him and listening to the cries like flash floods and tsunamis, Yin Kuang shook his head secretly: "Is it right or wrong for these people to follow Liu Bei? Liu Bei took the people and fled because he couldn't bear the people being killed by Cao Cao. , or is Liu Bei a shield for these people, as people in later generations have argued? However, in any case, it should be in line with the poem, 'In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer'. I really don't understand, this What's there to fight for?"
"Yin Kuang!"
Just when Yin Kuang was stunned, he suddenly heard a cry of awakening. Yin Kuang looked around as if he had been shocked by electricity, and saw Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian waving to this side in the crowd, smiling like flowers, among a group of people. Blooming in the midst of mournful cries. And it was Tang Rouyu who called Yin Kuang. Unexpectedly, they would be among the huge crowd.
Zhao Yun turned around, looked at Yin Kuang, then at Tang Rouyu, then smiled and said, "I'll give you an hour's leave. Come to the Central Army tent in an hour." Yin Kuang said, "Yes, general."
Zhao Yun smiled, looked at Yin Kuang, blinked, and said, "One hour is enough." Then like a gust of wind, he headed towards a huge tent on the high ground on the river bank in the distance.
"What does he mean?" Yin Kuang scratched his head, got off his horse, and walked towards where Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian were.
"Why are you here?" Yin Kuang said, "Where are the others?"
Tang Rouyu did not answer Yin Kuang's words, but looked at Yin Kuang and said, "Why are you covered in blood?"
Yin Kuang said: "It's hard to describe in a word. He just came out of Xinyecheng."
"You were sent to Xinye by the principal?"
"Well. What about you? What identities has the principal arranged for you?" Yin Kuang said, his eyes secretly looking around to see if there was anyone suspicious.
Tang Rouyu whispered: "I, Qianqian, and other girls were arranged to be maids next to Liu Bei's two wives." "Mids?" Yin Kuang then discovered that Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian were indeed dressed as maids. She was still holding needles, threads and strips of cloth in her hands, "What are you doing?" Qian Qianqian replied, "Mrs. Gan wants us to sew clothes for the people."
"Yeah." Yin Kuang nodded and asked, "Where are the others?"
Tang Rou said: "One Wang Ning came out and disappeared, and everyone else is here. Wei Ming and Hong Zhong are Zhang Fei's personal guards. Pan Longtao and Zeng Fei are Zhuge Liang's servants. Li Shuangmu and Zhong Limo are Guan Yu's personal guards. Bai Lu followed Liu Bei directly. From yesterday to now, everyone has not recovered from the excitement? All they saw were celebrities from the Three Kingdoms!"
"Wang Ning..." Yin Kuang groaned and then asked: "You... don't you know yet?"
"What do you know?" Tang Rouyu asked.
Yin Kuang looked around and said, "Follow me."
The three of them crossed the crowd and reached a forest on the edge of the river. Then they looked at Tang Rou with a serious face and said, "We have been tricked by the principal. It seems that you have not triggered the relevant tasks and do not know your true identity."
Afterwards, Yin Kuang told in a low voice what happened about his encounter with Lord Black Arrow, and finally looked at Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian and said, "Are you still excited about meeting celebrities from the Three Kingdoms now? "
Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian looked at each other, then looked at Yin Kuang in unison, and shook their heads in unison.
"How could this happen?" Qian Qianqian murmured.
Yin Kuang said: "So I said, we were tricked by the principal. Even if this guy arranged some weird identities for me, he at least gave me a hint. He actually asked us to trigger the event ourselves before telling us his true identity. ! If I hadn’t bumped into Venerable Black Arrow by accident, I would have been kept in the dark.”
Tang Rouyu pursed her bright red lips and sighed: "Perhaps this is also a kind of assessment for us by the principal. He wants us to explore everything in the scene world, and wants us to quickly adapt to different environments, play different roles, and force We rack our brains to deal with any situation that changes at any time. The principal is really... well-intentioned." I don't know whether she was sarcastic or sighing.
"It seems that we need to get together again." Tang Rouyu said: "We must tell everyone about this situation. Otherwise..."
"No!" Yin Kuang suddenly said: "I can't tell everyone, I must hide it."
Tang Rouyu and Qian Qianqian's expressions changed, and Tang Rouyu said, "Yin Kuang, what did you say?"
Yin Kuang touched his chin and said: "A truly powerful spy is one who doesn't even know he is a spy. This is the safest way. Now, the situation is not clear at all. We don't know if other classes are like us." It's the same, whether we appear as spies among other forces, or in other forms. And similarly, the other two classes don't know how we appear. So... we just think that we belong to Liu Bei's camp, so , not only can it ensure our safety, but it can also confuse the other two classes! The Battle of Chibi has not really begun, but the competition between our three classes has already begun! The river must be muddy, so that the fish can escape from the stone. It came out again."
"This..." After hearing this, Tang Rouyu lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "But, what if that Lord Black Arrow finds Bai Lu and the others? Won't our identities be exposed in this way?"
Yin Kuang said: "Venerable Black Arrow has 4 points of friendship with me. I can take advantage of this and contact him alone on the grounds of confidentiality. I think he will agree. Because he also knows , frequent contact with people around Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other important figures will inevitably arouse suspicion."
"... It's doable! Just do it like this... But," Tang Rouyu suddenly looked at Yin Kuang and said, "Yin Kuang, why did you tell us?"
"Because you are the maids of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi." Yin Kuang said with a smile.
Tang Rouyu seemed to have a delicate mind and said, "You want us to keep an eye on Liu Bei's family members?"
"That's right!" Yin Kuang said: "Why waste the great opportunity that the principal gave us? As long as Liu Bei's family members, especially Adou, are under control... How can Liu Bei, who has been blessed with a son for a long time, dare to mess around? Even then If our identity is exposed, Liu Bei will also have some scruples! Adou can be regarded as our life-saving talisman."
"Yeah." Tang Rouyu smiled and said, "I know."
Qian Qianqian said: "But is it useful? Didn't Liu Bei not care about Adou at all? Otherwise, when Zhao Yun rescued Adou, how could he throw Adou and make him stupid?" Tang Rouyu sneered and said: "That's not true. It's just made up in the novel. Tiger poison can't eat its seeds, let alone Liu Bei? Not to mention that he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If the news about him killing his son with his own hands spreads, his reputation will be ruined, and famous people in the world will also Who would take refuge in a man who kills his son? Besides, Liu Bei didn’t get a biological son until he was middle-aged, so how could he be willing to hurt him?"
Tang Rouyu looked at Yin Kuang and said: "In addition, I think Yin Kuang has another plan. Liu Feng, Yin Kuang, am I right?"
