Chapter 8 Thrilling Night(1/2)

Liu Jing patted Zhao Yun's hand gently, got up and walked outside the cave, "What's going on?"

"Young Master, look"

Wu Xiu pointed to the foot of the mountain, frightened. Liu Jingshun looked at him and felt a slump in his heart. He saw several long torches appearing on the mountain road, which were about a few miles long, like a fire dragon, with tens of thousands of people. There were countless torches moving towards the mountain. This must be the main force of the Cao army, and we must search the mountain in full.

The spectacular momentum of tens of thousands of people scared Wu Xiu to the point of being pale and his legs were trembling. He could no longer help but turn around and begged, "Young Master, this must be Cao Cao. I don't care about him anymore. He will drag us down. If you take him, we will definitely not be able to escape. We..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jing punched him hard to the ground, pointed at him and scolded: "You ungrateful person, without him saving you, you would have died in the chaos army long ago. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you with one knife."

Wu Xiu slowly lowered his head, and a hatred flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't been afraid that he would have been unable to explain, he would have run away long ago. Would he come back to find this brat?

Liu Jing turned around and walked into the cave, took Zhao Yun's hand and smiled, "It seems we have to change places."

Zhao Yun was moved when he heard their conversation outside and forced himself to smile and said, "Actually, Cao Cao would not kill me, so it's okay to be caught."

Liu Jing ignored him and carried Zhao Yun on his back, "Let's go, I won't die, you can't even think of death."

He carried Zhao Yun out of the cave, Wu Xiu led the way in front, and the three of them continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

.........

On the mountain road, dozens of generals surrounded a middle-aged man with a foot-long beard under his jaw, a high nose bridge, and a sharp look in his slender eyes. He wore a golden helmet, a golden chain mail, a sword on his waist, and a claw under his crotch.

This person was Cao Cao. Liu Bei had already fled far away. He couldn't chase and killed him, so he had to lead his troops back to Rangshan. However, he heard that the general Zhao Yun was injured and hid in the mountains. He was followed by a young man. He was Liu Jingsheng's nephew. Cao Cao couldn't help but be very interested.

This place is not far from Jingzhou. If he could catch Liu Biao's nephew, he could go to Hanshui to meet Liu Biao for a while, and it would be nice to exchange Liu Bei for it.

In front of Cao Cao's horse, Yu Jin knelt down on one knee. At this time, he was extremely regretful. If he had known that his lord valued the boy so much, it would be great that he would not let him go. He was so stupid.

He did not dare to hide it, so he said Liu Jing's words in full and said in great frustration: "He was poured into a soup from Beizhi, which caused him and Zhao Yun to run away under his nose. It was too late to regret it. Beizhi was stupid and ruined the lord's affairs. Please punish him."

Cao Cao's eyes were a little surprised. This young man was not only knowledgeable, but also bold, meticulous and very wise. Liu Jingsheng had such a nephew, which was impressive. Cao Cao's interest was even stronger. He must catch this nephew of Liu Jingsheng.

He immediately ordered: "I am passing on my order that the mountain is not allowed to be set on fire. It must be captured alive. Those who catch Zhao Yun will be rewarded with a bounty of 300 kilograms, and those who catch Liu Biao's nephew will be rewarded with a bounty of 500 kilograms."

Cao Cao ordered General Li Dian to take a small road, go up the mountain from behind, and cut off their retreat to the south."

"Zhou Ling" Li Dian led 3,000 soldiers to go around the southwest along the mountain road.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers walked up the mountain with torches in their hands. The entire hillside was like a fire tree and silver flowers blooming, which was particularly spectacular.

...........

Liu Jing and the other two had already climbed over the hillside and reached the saddle on the other side. This side was covered with pine forests. At this time, Zhao Yun's injury and poison began to attack, and he was in a semi-coma state. There was a string of blisters on his mouth, sometimes confused and sometimes clear.

When you are awake, you don’t say a word, and when you are confused, you shout, “Shui Shui”

His whole body was hot and he was about to dehydrate. Liu Jing was anxious. Zhao Yun urgently needed water and medicine now. The medicine was gone, at least there must be water. If he did not find water, Zhao Yun would die. He stood up and looked around.

He was originally a young hunter, with some experience. It had just rained the day before yesterday and there would be no water in the pine forest, but a puddle of water may be found in the saddle-shaped depression.

He took the kettle and said to Wu Xiu: "Look at General Zhao well. He has saved us life. We must not leave him behind. I will go find water, take it and come back."

Wu Xiu nodded, "Don't worry, go there, I will take good care of him."

Although Liu Jing was still worried, he had no choice but to go back quickly. He jumped off a dirt ridge and ran towards the depression.

Looking at Liu Jing's back as he was leaving, Wu Xiu's face changed, becoming extremely ferocious, with a fierce light in his eyes, "Boy, you want to die, I don't want to die."

He took out a dagger from his arms. This was discovered by him in the skin of the war horse he was riding. He kept hiding it on his body. He hid the dagger on his back and walked towards Zhao Yun step by step...

Liu Jing was very lucky. He had just run more than a hundred steps and found a small puddle with a little light rain. He was overjoyed and quickly poured water into the kettle carefully. Unfortunately, there was too little water, so he only had a small pot of water and disappeared.

Liu Jing knew that as long as he found one, there would definitely be a second place nearby, but he was worried about Zhao Yun, so he turned around and ran away...

Wu Xiu squatted in front of Zhao Yun, with his hands holding the dagger tightly behind him, and shouted in a low voice: "General Zhao General Zhao"

He saw Zhao Yun's powerful martial arts with his own eyes, and he felt a little worried. If Zhao Yun could resist, he would be dead.

At this time, Zhao Yun was in his awake period. He slowly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Where is Mr. Jing?"

"He's going to find water, I'll take care of you."

After saying that, he gently pressed Zhao Yun's wound. Zhao Yun was in great pain, but he bit his teeth tightly and did not scream.

"General Zhao seems to be very injured. Why don't I help you take two steps to move your bloodline?"

Zhao Yun was very experienced. When he saw Wu Xiu's eyes showing his fierceness, his muscles on his face were deformed, and his appearance was ferocious. Zhao Yun immediately understood in his heart that this person had malicious intentions.

Zhao Yun was anxious and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Young Master Jing is behind you."

Wu Xiu was shocked and suddenly turned around. There was no one behind him. There was no sign of Liu Jing. Wu Xiu's eyes showed a grim smile, "It turns out that General Zhao is joking with me."

At this time, he already understood that Zhao Yun saw through him, but he also saw that Zhao Yun was powerless to resist. Wu Xiu grinned, "General Zhao, I'm sorry, I will burn more paper for you."

He raised the dagger high, and Zhao Yun felt a whine in his heart. He did not die in the battlefield, but died at the hands of a villain. At this moment, Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared closely behind Wu Xiu.

Wu Xiu sneered, "You can't deceive me anymore, go to die."

He was about to stab his dagger, but a severe pain came from his vest. He slowly lowered his head and found a sword tip emerging from his chest.

Wu Xiu turned his head and then found that Liu Jing was standing behind him, staring at him with anger on his face. Wu Xiu raised his hand and pointed at Liu Jing, and finally shouted desperately, "You are... fake."

After shouting, Wu Xiu fell to the ground and died.

Liu Jing pulled out a short sword from his vest and kicked him away with disgust. The body rolled twice, but a paper bag fell out of his arms. Liu Jing picked up the paper bag and smelled it. His eyes suddenly lit up. This was actually a pack of good gold-creation medicine, and this person was carrying it with him.

"Damn it"

Liu Jing cursed, and he couldn't find any medicine everywhere, so Zhao Yun's injury worsened. This bastard obviously had the medicine hidden, but refused to take it out.

With the good Jinchuang medicine, Liu Jing suddenly felt hope in his heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Yun and asked with concern: "General Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Yun whispered: "You saved my life again."

"No"

Liu Jing said hatefully: "I know people but not my heart. I am blind. I brought this poisonous snake with me, which almost killed the general."

Liu Jing took the kettle, carefully drank a few sips of water for Zhao Yun, and smiled and said, "The accumulated rain water is probably not good. When I go to Xiangyang City, I will buy fine wine to apologize to the general."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, "I'll invite you to drink at that time."

Liu Jing wrapped the injury medicine on Zhao Yun again, and the water and gold-chuang medicine quickly performed miraculously. Zhao Yun's body temperature gradually returned to normal and no longer hot, which comforted Liu Jing.

At this time, the sky seemed to have brightened. When Liu Jing turned around, he saw that the mountains on both sides were covered with torches. Cao's army took a small path and went up the mountain from behind, blocking his back road.

Liu Jing smiled bitterly, saying that he was worthy of being Cao Cao, and he liked to do such a thing as cheating on people's future.

"Young Master Jing, go and leave, don't worry about me." Zhao Yun also realized that their situation was extremely dangerous, and he didn't want to implicate Liu Jing any more.

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, "Don't say such words, you didn't leave me on the battlefield, how could I leave you at this time?"

Zhao Yun looked at the boy silently, and his nose felt a sense of sorrow. How could he repay this kindness for the boy so much?

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Yun: "At this point, I can only take a risk. Whether we can escape this disaster depends on our luck."

Zhao Yun sighed softly, "I, Zhao Yun, can die on the battlefield with my young master, have no regrets."

Liu Jing stood up and smiled and said, "It's not that easy for Cao's army to kill us."

He looked around and saw that they were between two hills. Cao's army was mainly concentrated in the north hill. Although there were soldiers at the south hill that cut off their escape route, they did not have many troops, especially in the southeast direction, the torches were even sparse.

"Brother Zhao, can you take a few steps?"

Zhao Yun felt that his legs had a little sense of consciousness, so he nodded, "I'll try it."

Liu Jing helped Zhao Yun up and then put Wu Xiu's body under his armpits. He held Zhao Yun and limped and fled southeastward.

Liu Jing helped Zhao Yun walk along the mountainside for a while. At this time, he discovered a cave. The cave seemed unfathomable. Liu Jing picked up a stone and threw it down. After a while, an echo came.

This cave is good and can hide the corpse. Liu Jing found a low-lying place next to it and smiled at Zhao Yun, "Brother Zhao, lie down for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Zhao Yun lay down and closed his eyes. At this time, he had handed over his honor and life to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing covered the bodies of Zhao Yun and Wu Xiu with branches. He identified the direction and ran southeastward.

Cao's army searched for soldiers in the southeast, with only more than 300 people, most of which were scattered, which gave Liu Jing the opportunity.

About two hundred steps away from the cave, Liu Jing found a lonely Cao army soldier. He threw Zhao Yun's helmet on the ground, pulled out his short sword, and crawled towards the tree.

Soon, Cao's soldiers came over with a torch in their hands. He found the helmet on the ground and bent down to pick it up. Just as he looked at the helmet, Liu Jing pounced on the tree, threw the soldier to the ground, pressed his face tightly into the soil, and pierced his vest with a sword...

He quickly stripped off the armor of Cao's soldiers, put it on himself, looked around, and saw another single torch not far away.

Liu Jing ran away and soon came not far from Cao's soldiers, hid behind a tree. When the other party approached, he suddenly flashed out and pointed a knife at Cao's soldiers' chest and shouted: "Command"

Cao Jun soldiers were shocked and saw that they were their own people, and quickly replied: "Closing the Internet."

It turned out that the command was to close the Internet, not to lose the blame. Liu Jing smiled and suddenly pointed behind him and said in horror: "What is behind you?"

The Cao army soldiers turned around instinctively, and Liu Jing seized the opportunity for a moment, slashed the opponent's head more than one foot away.

At this time, Liu Jing was extremely nervous. More searches for Cao's army were getting closer. He was not much time left. He carried two corpses and turned around and ran towards the cave.

...........

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Jing carried Zhao Yun, who was also wearing Cao's armor, and ran south along the mountainside with a torch in his hand. He was betting that these soldiers would never dream of the prey falling into the trap.

Several Cao soldiers discovered him and shouted loudly: "Who is it? The command?"

"Closing the Internet"

Liu Jing was like entering a password, waiting for the other party’s reply nervously. Obviously, the password was correct.
