Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 2 System Oita

It was already four o'clock when Zhongpingping arrived at Beimang Mountain.

The dew condensed on the branches and leaves of the vegetation in the mountains. Walking all the way, the shoes, socks and clothes were all wet, and the cold invaded the bone marrow.

Zhong Ping tried his best to shrink into his clothes, and he retreated in his heart.

"It's so cold. It's dark in front of us, and the torches can't shine too far. I don't know if there are any wild animals in the mountains at this time of year? The incense of merit is fragrant, but you have to take it with your life. Why did you only think about the benefits at that time? It seems that I am still too impulsive."

Zhong Ping took the torch from a servant, bit the bullet and continued to move forward.

"It's impossible to give up. It's all over. Dad must know that I ignored his words and sneaked out of the city by himself..."

"Hey, it's outrageous. I thought that the emperor's escape would definitely cause a lot of chaos. But when I went out, I saw that there were people coming and going on the street like usual."

He glanced quietly at the muscular men following behind him again.

"Speaking of which, these guys don't seem to know what happened."

He was thinking wildly in his mind, walking to the river bank unknowingly, Zhong Ping felt as if he stepped on a hard object under his feet.

Zhong Ping brought the torch closer and inspected it carefully, and found that it was half a piece of jade, which was cold and smooth in his hand, and he also saw that the footprints of horseshoes on the ground were messy.

Then he knew that Zhang Rang and others must have kidnapped the emperor and King Chen Liu to come here, and they had been chased here.

With confidence in his mind, Zhong Ping took a torch and waved around the place where there were few footprints. Sure enough, he could distinguish several child-sized footprints, and the direction was towards the opposite bank.

Several servants hesitated when they saw him turning back and forth on the shore without speaking, and it was almost five o'clock at this time.

It's just that he was assigned by the housekeeper in the mansion earlier, and he also knew that he should not ask questions, so he silently followed behind Zhongping.

The sky is getting brighter, and the animals in the mountains seem to be active. They have excellent hearing ability, and they can hear the sound of trampling on the grass and trees in the distance. However, although the sound is rapid, it is neat and powerful. It doesn't look like a wild animal. It should be domesticated .

Zhong Ping couldn't help becoming vigilant, and gestured to everyone behind him to signal everyone to be careful.

The sound was getting closer, and at this time Zhong Ping could vaguely see the faint light from the torch. Combining the height of the light with the sound of trampling, he guessed that someone might be riding towards this side.

It's just that I don't know if the person who came here was also a rescuer, or Duan Gui and his like?

"Are you wearing ropes?" Zhong Ping asked softly.

He felt the latter was more likely.

The voice came closer again. At this moment, he could see the glimmer of light moving backwards and returning to the front after a while, and he felt more confident:

The man on the horse was obviously avoiding the pursuers, so he looked behind him from time to time.

The servants looked at each other, and one of them, Niu Fu, who was short, said, "I haven't brought a rope. If you need it urgently, the villain has quick hands and feet, and can weave straw rope quickly."

Zhongping was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't it be faster to just use the hemp rope around your waist?"

The scene was awkward for a while, but fortunately, everyone reacted quickly, and hurriedly untied the hemp rope around their waists, tied it at the end, and connected it into a long rope.

Zhong Ping tried it, and it was quite strong, but it seemed that the length was not enough, so Zhong Ping took off his own belt and tied it with the hemp rope.

"I don't know if the length is enough now, hey, let's make do with it."

But Duan Gui lost the emperor and was chased by Mingong. He managed to avoid the pursuers, was physically and mentally exhausted, and didn't know where to go. If you can get the emperor back, maybe there is still some room for change."

He made up his mind and drove the horse back. When he got out of the woods, it was dawn and he could see the road clearly, so he extinguished the torch, lightly knocked the horse's belly with his heel, and galloped towards the river bank.

"Jiujiu——" the horse below him neighed in pain and fell down.

Duan Gui was caught off guard and was thrown off his horse, and plunged headlong into the haystack on the bank. Several strong men who had been hiding behind the haystack immediately rushed up and tied him up with all their might.

"Lang Jun, it's already tied firmly." Niu Fu was a little nervous, looking like he was doing this kind of thing for the first time, but the way he tied people was very sophisticated.

"Also please dispose of it, Mr. Lang."

Zhong Ping: "Why are you so proficient?"

Niu Fu was very coy: "The villain's father was a butcher, this is the way to kill dogs."

Zhong Ping looked at Duan Gui on the ground, and had many bad associations for a while, and whispered: "Is this a dog tie or a bastard? Or the ancestors can play."

He kicked the broken glass aside and asked Niu Fu, "How is the horse injured?"

Niu Fu replied: "The horse's shoe has been pierced to pieces, bloody, and its two front legs are broken. I'm afraid it won't survive, so I can only save the slaughtered meat to eat."

Listening to his description, Zhong Ping felt that his feet were also hurting, and quickly turned his head to remind the servants guarding Duan Gui to be careful not to step on glass shards, and at the same time silently thanked the system in his heart.

"Brother Tong is very interesting, this Coke is so good! If it weren't for the glass bottle as a guarantee, I really wouldn't dare to wait here with a rope. After all, I'm not sure I can trip a horse in one go."

The system, the system said that it did not want to speak.

To be honest, when Zhongping asked the system if he could decide the status of receiving the items, such as specifying whether to order iced Coke or heated Coke, the system was completely unaware of his sinister intentions and directly gave him an affirmative answer.

So Zhongping showed a strange smile.

The system is starting to feel bad.

Zhong Ping: "Then I can keep the Coke and just get the glass bottle?"

System: "... yes."

Kind of flat: plan to pass.

Don't ask me where the bottle came from, just say it was picked up in the river.

Zhang asked Duan Gui to rob so many treasures in the palace, and when he fled, he threw a few glass bottles into the river, isn't that reasonable?
This wave, this wave is a big score in the system, it's hard to win.

"Take this guy, let's go to the other side."

Zhong Ping gave an order, followed the footprints he saw earlier, crossed the river, and saw some traces of trampling among the thorn bushes.

A group of people walked in for a long time, the road became more and more tortuous, and there were no footprints on the ground.

Zhong Ping was a little frustrated, but he felt a little comforted thinking that he had caught a traitor anyway.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know who the guy I caught is here." Zhong Ping muttered, then turned around and asked, "Is the guy tied up awake?"

Niu Fu kicked Duan Gui very well, and replied, "I'm awake."

Duan Gui had already broken a few ribs, but when Niu Fu kicked the wound, he cried out in pain, and just woke up and passed out in pain.

Niu Fu: ...Why doesn't this man resist beatings?

Zhong Ping: "...the attack is very ruthless."

He began to think about whether this unlucky ghost who was tied up had a grudge against Niu Fu.

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted.

Because out of the corner of his eye, he saw a child walking out of the haystack in front right.

"I am King Chenliu, can a righteous man come forward?"

Zhong Ping was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

He hurried forward to salute and said: "Chong Ping, the commoner, the son of the servant Zhong Ji, has met His Royal Highness Chen Liu."

Liu Xie stepped aside, and a taller child walked out from behind the haystack.

Zhong Ping realized that it should be Liu Bian, the young emperor, and was about to salute, but was grabbed by Liu Bian directly: "You don't need to be too polite. At your age, you can capture Duan Gui alive and rescue him alone. You are really talented!"

Zhongping: Slowly put out a question mark.

The people behind me are not human?
And it turns out that this unlucky guy is Duan Gui?
Zhong Ping was in a complicated mood. He wondered if the two children were watching behind the haystack as he walked all the way?
How else would they know that they were arresting Duan Gui?

Oh, I'm afraid they heard Duan Gui's howl just now. I guess the two children were quite right when they were waiting for him to come over...

This action, this expression, is really professional.

To be honest, the moment his hand was held, he thought it was Liu Bei in front of him...

Is this a special gesture of the old Liu family?
In just a short moment, he thought a lot in his heart, but he still had a very reliable and calm expression on his face.

"I don't have talent, I dare not take credit for it. This time I was able to capture Duan Gui alive, only because of the servants at home. The luck of the two is due to the luck of the two. Gui is a traitor. Heaven wants him to perish. He is just in accordance with the time."

Zhong Ping flattered him a little.

Liu Bian obviously heard it, and held Zhong Ping's hand tightly, and it seemed that tears were about to flow down.

Zhong Ping looked at the young emperor carefully at this moment, seeing that he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a haggard look and a bit of panic, with withered grass stuck to his hair, and the hem of his clothes was torn by thorns, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous pity.

He suddenly understood why his father looked like the sky was falling, and he was dying at home.

After all, in this age when the imperial power is supreme and inviolable, suddenly seeing the emperor in such a horrible state, the impact... tsk tsk...

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although there are only ten people on equal footing, they have already explored the road in the mountains and found some clues for reinforcements. The country will not be without a king for a day. Ping is willing to protect His Majesty and return the capital."

Liu Bian was speechless, shed tears, choked for a long time, and then said: "Your loyalty and righteousness, I know it. Shi Changshi confused the chaotic government, I am the emperor, I can't put down the chaos, but I was captured by the rebels... Alas! ..."

Zhong Ping seemed to have gotten to know the young emperor again.

Although he is a child, he is still an emperor after all, so he still has some responsibilities, and history books can't believe it all.

He sighed inwardly.

It seems that Liu Bian was hit hard by this escape.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhong Ping organized his words, trying to comfort the little emperor.

"A misfortune is a blessing, and it is not a bad thing for your majesty to be coerced by the ten permanent servants to leave the palace. 'The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister." A virtuous minister, a humble man from afar, who reads the elegant words and consults on the good way, will make the Han Dynasty prosperous..."

Zhong Ping quickly shut up: My good guy, I almost recited the teacher's list for too much comfort, it's terrible.

Zhong Ping looked dead.

Liu Xie's eyes were bright.

Liu Bian said yes yes yes yes.

The three of them were very excited. At this moment, smoke and dust rose not far away, and hundreds of people came here.
