In front of Ganlu Temple.
A man is sitting upright, seven feet seven inches tall, with a beautiful beard and handsome appearance.
Carrying two halberds on one's back, one is extraordinarily heroic.
Today, he was ordered by Marquis Wu to wait for Liu Mang to come.
"Son of Mr. Liu...it's better not to come! Ziyi doesn't want to kill you with his own hands!"
"It's a pity that Wu Hou's order has to be obeyed!"
Taishi Ci can be said to be the most powerful general in Soochow. He fought against Sun Ce, and the two were inseparable.
Later, he led Liu Yao's subordinates to submit to Sun Ce, and he was bringing money into the group.
Sun Quan dared to snub Da Qiao's mother and son, but he did not dare to snub Tai Shi Ci. Instead, he regarded her very highly.
After all, people with strength will be respected everywhere.
Unfortunately, Taishi Ci was not interested in Sun Quan. He preferred Sun Shao, the son of his late lord Sun Ce, and the princess Sun Shangxiang.
With his blue eyes and purple beard, Taishi Ci felt uncomfortable no matter what.
The sound of footsteps came from the mountains, and Taishi Ci let out a long sigh. What should come will eventually come.
The leader, wearing white armor and a silver spear, and a green sword on his waist, is none other than Changshan Zhao Zilong.
"May I ask, are you Zhao Zilong?"
"Exactly."
"I, Taishi Ziyi, upon orders from the Marquis of Wu, advise you to return to Jingzhou!"
Taishi Ci was born tall and mighty, and guarding the gate of Ganlu Temple alone showed his bravery even more.
"Uncle Ziyi."
Liu Mang took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Back then, you, my father, my second uncle, and my third uncle were in Beihai to fight against the Yellow Turbans!"
"My uncle's reputation makes my nephew admire him very much!"
Zhuge Liang had long expected that Taishi Ci would be appointed here. After all, the only person in Soochow who could fight Zhao Yun was Taishi Ziyi!
Liu Mang followed Zhuge Liang's plan and decisively established a relationship with Taishi Ci.
"Liu Shijun is benevolent and righteous! Generals Guan and Zhang are the most powerful generals in the world. Their bravery makes me admire them."
Taishi Ci sighed: "Call me uncle and I will tell you! If you insist on entering this Ganlu Temple, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Uh-huh!
Behind Ganlu Temple, the sword masters came out in full force and instantly surrounded Zhao Yun and Liu Mang!
"Blue-eyed kid! Purple-bearded rat!"
Zhao Yun cursed angrily and immediately protected Liu Mang.
"Good nephew, leave!"
Taishi Ci deliberately exposed his sword master, which shows that he did not want to harm Liu Mang.
It's just that you can't disobey your order, so you have to guard it again.
"Young Master...son Sun Quan, why do you insist on doing this!"
Zhao Yun sighed: "Even if the alliance fails, there is no need to secretly kill!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Cao Cao hates me and my son! If I take my head, I can beg for mercy and win Cao Cao's favor."
"Perhaps, when Cao Cao is happy, he will let the blue-eyed child continue to lead Jiangdong!"
"Unfortunately, this is just his wishful thinking!"
Taishi Ci pressed forward step by step and took off the two halberds from behind.
"After the battle with the late master Sun Ce, I haven't met a master for a long time."
"Since my nephew refuses to retreat, I will kill Zhao Yun first, and then I will personally send my nephew off!"
"Anyone on the left or right who dares to take action is an enemy of me, Taishi Ziyi!"
Liu Mang deeply felt Tai Shici's murderous intent!
This Jiangdong Tiger General was able to break out of a tight siege in Beihai and go to seek reinforcements, which is a testament to his strength.
"Zhao Zilong! Look at the halberd!"
Taishi Ci stepped out with an arrow and brandished his two halberds. Zhao Yun was not afraid at all and responded with the green sword in his hand!
Kang!
With a loud noise, the two peerless tigers separated.
"The dense forests here are not conducive to the use of long soldiers. I choose a short halberd and you use a long sword. It is fair."
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "It's been a long time since my late master passed away and no one can make me try my best!"
Zhao Yun shook the green sword and said with a smile: "General Taishi, how does it compare to the fifty generals of Cao's army at Changbanpo?"
As soon as these words came out, Taishi Ci was furious and attacked with two halberds like a violent storm.
"How can those rats from Cao Ying be compared with me?"
"How are the heroes of Jiangdong different from those rats?"
Zhao Yun first fought against the three tiger ministers in Jiangdong and then against Tai Shici, suffering some physical losses.
"Zhao Zilong! You can be considered a man when you fight three old generals alone! It's a pity that you are weak! Retreat!"
The two halberds smashed hard, and then kicked Zhao Yun in the abdomen. The latter retreated in pain.
Taishi Ci played with the two halberds and said with a smile: "Maybe we can fight again?"
"My dear nephew, it seems that the tiger general sent by your father is not as powerful as the rumors say."
"If he loses, you will be hacked to death by the sword master!"
Liu Mang stood with his hands behind his back, no fear on his face.
"Uncle Ziyi, in my opinion, only Lu Bu can rival Uncle Zhao when he is alive."
"Haven't you ever heard that Changshan Zhao Zilong became more brave as he fought?"
Before Liu Mang finished speaking, Zhao Yun attacked with a sword!
One move after another, tricky and deadly!
"Changshan Sword Technique!"
"Okay! I am lucky to have seen Zhao Zilong's swordsmanship!"
Taishi Ci couldn't stop laughing. He and Zhao Yun will definitely have a good fight today!
"Left turn! Right turn!"
"Overlord! Break the halberd!"
The green sword cut off a broken halberd, and Taishi Ci took the opportunity to attack with another short halberd.
Uh-huh!
Liu Mang saw the right moment and threw the broken halberd sent by Da Qiao from his sleeve!
Taishi Ci looked at the broken halberd, feeling a moment of sadness in his heart.
"That's... the broken halberd from the battle between my lord and me!"
"I didn't expect that after all these years, my lord would always remember it!"
"Madam actually gave this to you!"
Taishi Ci no longer had the will to fight, and let the green sword rest on his neck.
"General!"
"Save the general quickly!"
Seeing this, the sword masters wanted to surround Liu Mang.
"Get out of here!"
"General... Wuhou has an order..."
"I will take full responsibility for Wu Hou! If you don't get out, don't blame me for killing you myself!"
Taishi Ci was furious, and the sword masters fled away in disgrace.
Zhao Yun took back the Qingzhi Sword, cupped his fists and said, "General Taishi, I have offended you so much just now!"
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Changshan Zhao Zilong's reputation is well-deserved! If I were on the battlefield, I would definitely kill you!"
Zhao Yun nodded and smiled, "I hope you and I will never meet on the battlefield!"
Taishi Ci picked up the broken halberd and couldn't help but caress it as if it were a beloved treasure.
"The fact that Madam hands this thing to you means that she has recognized you in her heart."
"Come in with me! Both Guo Tai and Guo Lao are waiting for you here!"
Tai Shici was worried that there were still people who were unwilling to give up, so he decided to personally escort Liu Mang there.
"Thank you, Uncle Ziyi!"
"You gave me a good beating, and you made me see my old master. I should thank you, hahaha!"
Liu Mang went first, followed closely by Zhao Yun, who opened the third tip bag!
"Young Master... there is only one word in the military advisor's bag - filial piety!"
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I already know it!"
…
Ganlu Temple.
In the main hall, Wu Guotai was a little anxious. She had just boasted about Liu Mang to Mr. Qiao Guo and other distinguished elders, but she didn't know that the other party hadn't come over yet.
"Zhongmou! Go outside the temple and see why the wise son-in-law hasn't come yet?"
"Mom, I think Liu Mang is not sincere. He should go back to Jingzhou."
After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Brother, you are talking nonsense! The chief minister will definitely come!"
Sun Quan smiled helplessly. Due to his mother's orders, he had no choice but to go there himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the hall, he bumped into someone.
"You...why are you here?"
"Guotai invites you, how can Liu Changqing break the promise?"
