Chapter 44

Zhao Yun was exceptionally moved and cupped his hands.

"My lord, rest assured, I will definitely protect my lord's safety."

The broadcast room instantly had many complaints.

"Liu Daer is too cunning!"

"Is there a single word of truth from the Eared Thief? Scumbag!"

"All three are being fooled by Liu Bei! And yet they are still very happy!"

"Who will Liu Big-Fool trick next?"

Fifty miles outside Guang Sect City, on the road toward Luoyang,

Lu Zhi, sitting in the prison cart, felt a sense of desolation.

Before, when he was the General of the Middle Army and overseeing the campaign, how many people came to curry favor with him?

Now that he had been stripped of his position by the Emperor and had his death sentence commuted (life imprisonment), there wasn't even anyone to see him off.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the new commander, Dong Zhuo...

"Forget it, I don't need it either."

Lu Zhi shook his head and closed his eyes to rest.

"Clop! Clop! Clop!"

The earth shook, and dense hoofbeats came from behind.

The squad leader escorting Lu Zhi was startled.

"Could it be the Huang Jin army?"

"Quick, quick! Rear army becomes front army!"

The soldiers couldn't help but panic!

Fortunately, those dozens of cavalry did not charge over but stopped at a distance of an arrow's flight.

Only three riders emerged from the crowd.

"Everyone, I am Lu Shi's student, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, here specifically to see Lu Shi!"

Liu Bei said, cupping his hands.

Zhang Fei's loud voice shouted from the side,

"My brother is a scion of the Han imperial clan and just killed Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao!"

The squad leader was startled. A relative of the Emperor? He absolutely could not afford to offend him.

"My lord, I am only acting under orders to escort Lord Lu to Luoyang."

Meaning: If you want to rescue the prisoner, take him away quickly, but please don't take our lives.

Liu Bei leaped off his horse, came to the side of the prison cart, and bowed deeply.

"Teacher, your high integrity in resolutely refusing to send gifts to the Lesser Yellow Gate has led to this disaster. I admire you greatly!"
