"Your Majesty..." Diao Chan pushed the tent and saw Cai Yan being hugged by Liu Bian, with her hands surrounding Liu Bian's neck, and tiptoed, holding Liu Bian face to face, with her lips close to her lips, she was startled and hurriedly retreated.

Cai Yan woke up from a dream, and struggled out of Liu Bian's arms. He blushed, ran to the edge of the couch, lifted up the quilt and crawled in, wrapping himself tightly with the quilt. Liu Bian stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and savored the soft and sweet taste just now, and couldn't help but laugh.

He glanced at Cai Yan. At this moment, Cai Yan didn't look like a colorful bird at all, but like an ostrich.

"This girl!" Liu Bian shook his head and turned to leave the tent, but saw Diao Chan kneeling outside the tent, lowering her head and frown, and apologizing.

Liu Bian leaned over and patted Diao Chan on the shoulder, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Get up, what's the matter?" Diao Chan was cautious. Knowing that he was in Cai Yan's tent, if there was nothing special about her, she would not rashly break into Cai Yan's tent.

"Mr. Xun asked for a meeting. I couldn't find Your Majesty, so I wanted to ask Miss Cai, but I didn't expect..." Diao Chan's voice became lower and lower, and gradually disappeared. Even with Liu Bian's hearing, she could only hear her nervous heartbeat.

"Xun You?" Liu Bian was shocked and did not dare to be negligent. Xun You came to him in the middle of the night, and there must be something wrong. He signaled Diao Chan to get up and quickly return to his big tent. Xun You was waiting at the door of the tent. When he saw Liu Bian walking quickly, he hurriedly came up.

"Your Majesty forgive me..."

"Public Ta, what's the matter? I'll tell you."

"only!"

Liu Bian entered the tent, and Xun You followed him in. He took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Liu Bian with both hands. Liu Bian took it and glanced at it. The bamboo was a little frowned and a little wet. It seemed that Xun You had been pinching it in his hand for a while. Liu Bian opened the letter, glanced quickly, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Cao Cao has a dragon?"

Xun You nodded in panic, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. When he received this letter, he was also surprised. With the help of Guo Jia, Cao Cao got a dragon. This dragon played a major role in attacking Xuzhou and broke through the water gate of Xuzhou with a fearful force. He rushed into Xuzhou City, and dozens of people were bitten by it along the way. His broken limbs fell to the ground, and all of them were dead in tragic shapes. The scene of a soldier biting the dragon and screaming in his mouth made the soldiers of Xuzhou City collapse on the spot.

This is the first time that the dragon actually appeared on the battlefield. When Long Yuan was born, Liu Bian turned into a dragon, but no one saw it. It was just that Liu Bian's sudden powerful guess that he had hatched the dragon. This time, hundreds of people have witnessed the dragon committing evil on the battlefield, and they are invincible.

Xun Yu told him about this matter very simple. One is to tell Liu Bianlong through his mouth that he was a villain, and once he lost control, the consequences would be unimaginable. The other is to remind Liu Bian that not only he has dragons, but Cao Cao also has dragons. He has another opponent. The situation in Shandong is now very complicated, and no one can predict what step it will develop.

Liu Bian was also shocked. Cai Yong once said that the dragon egg in his hand was the last giant dragon, so where did Cao Cao's dragon come from now? He read Xun Yu's letter again, but found no clues. Xun Yu just said that Cao Cao also had a dragon. But he did not say what this dragon looks like, nor did he say where this dragon came from. He could not find the answer he needed.

Could it be that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in history because he also had a dragon?

Didn’t Cai Yong tell him the truth that there was more than one dragon in this world? Or was it because his arrival disrupted this time and space?

In an instant, Liu Bian thought a lot and felt very complicated.

With the dragon, Cao Cao could no longer ignore Shandong people as before. If Cao Cao defeated the Yuan brothers, unified Shandong, and captured Luoyang, everyone would have dragons at that time, and it would be possible to win and who would lose. Especially when his dragon was far away in Xuanming Sea and Cao Cao's dragon was around him. Even if he recalled the dragon in time and defeated Cao Cao, it would be a tragic victory and his strength would inevitably be greatly weakened.

In this way, the newly stable grassland will inevitably cause trouble again and all previous efforts will be wasted.

Liu Bian forced himself to calm down. At this moment, he was far away and stable. It was impossible for him to have two wings and fly back to Luoyang. He could not lift a three-foot sword and directly cut Cao Cao and slaughter his dragon. He could only calm down and re-deploy in order to deal with this sudden change.

Liu Bian read Xun Yu's letter again and suddenly realized a problem. It was Guo Jia who helped Cao Cao catch the dragon. What about Xi Zhicai? Is it dead or beside Cao Cao? With Xi Zhicai's ability in formation and his tacit understanding with Cao Cao, this matter should not be missing from Xi Zhicai's contribution.

"Where is Xi Zhicai?"

"I don't know, my uncle has never mentioned it." Xun You shook his head: "However, Hua Tuo said that Xi Zhicai was not dead. He did not appear in such an important battle as an attack on Xuzhou. Then there is only one possibility. Either he was in seclusion and recuperating or carrying out other tasks."

"Other tasks? What tasks?" Liu Bian asked.

Xun You was about to answer when a roar like a war drum suddenly came from outside, mixed with a squeaking scream. Liu Bian was stunned and stepped out of the tent, but saw that the slander had risen at some time, raised his head and claws, as if he was a little uneasy. The two guards pulled the reins hard, but were still being pulled by it to stand unsteadily.

Liu Bian frowned, walked forward, stretched out his hand to stroke the mane of the Mobian. The Mobian felt Liu Bian's consciousness, slowly calmed down, lowered his head, and gently touched Liu Bian's hand with the sharp corners of his forehead. Liu Bian stroked the Mobian and asked unhappily: "What's going on?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I don't know." Konoe Rou replied nervously: "The Beast was originally fine, but somehow, I suddenly became shocked just now."

"What happened just now?"

"Yes, it's just now." Konomiro said tremblingly. In the middle of the night, the beast suddenly became shocked and disturbed the emperor. If the emperor got angry, they would not be able to bear it.

As he was speaking, Liu Bei strode over. When he saw this scene, he hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, it was my negligence that I failed to take good care of the beast, which disturbed Your Majesty. Please punish me."

Liu Bian glanced at Liu Bei and said lightly: "The beast suddenly became shocked. What does it have to do with you? Don't be nervous, I am not that kind of person who is easy to kill."

Liu Bei's body stiffened and he was a little nervous. Liu Bian's tone was a little unkind, and it seemed that he was targeting him specifically. He also showed signs of being heartbroken when he said something casually. It was very different from his usual generousness, which surprised him very much.

Seeing the nervousness of Liu Bei and Kouwei Lang, Liu Bian's eyes flashed, and he knew that he had lost his composure. He scared them. He waved his hand and slowed down his tone: "Xuande. I haven't slept in the middle of the night, are I still in the patrol camp or studying?"

Liu Bei bowed and said, "I just finished patrolling the camp and was about to rest. I don't know why. Suddenly I was a little scared. As soon as I sat up, I heard the screams of the beast and rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, I bumped into His Majesty. It was a death sentence."

"Where did you get the death penalty?" Liu Bian smiled slightly: "Okay, since you're here, let's talk to me."

Liu Bian patted the neck of the beast and turned around to enter the tent. Liu Bei bowed his hand and followed him in. He stood carefully opposite Liu Bian. Liu Bian gave him a seat, and Liu Bei sat down without saying a word, quietly waiting for Liu Bian's inquiry.

"When you were in Youzhou, did you hear any Han people passing by Youzhou to the north?"

"Going north?" Liu Bei pondered for a long time and shook his head: "I haven't heard that the north of Youzhou is a wilderness, so why are there Han people going north?"

"When I captured the Beast, I saw a figure of a Han man from the Beast's consciousness, and this man also took a red sword..." Liu Bian roughly said that he saw fragments of consciousness from the Beast's sea of ​​consciousness at that time: "I suspect that a Han master went to the northern border and injured the Beast."

Liu Bei was shocked. He knew that the Buye was injured when he was captured. But he didn't know that the wound was injured, and he was a Han man. What kind of person could actually hurt Buye?

"Wait, Your Majesty, do you think it's a red sword?" Xun You suddenly interrupted with a look of surprise.

Liu Bian nodded: "Have you heard of such a sword?"

"Yes, red swords are rare, and I just know that there is a sword like this." Xun You's eyes showed a look of horror, and his voice became dry: "That sword is called Chi Xiao, it should be in the hands of his uncle."

Liu Bian's brows frowned and pondered for a while: "You mean, is it possible that the person who hurts the beast may be Xi Zhicai?"

Xun You nodded and was about to speak when another roar of the Bully Beast came from outside. Liu Bei stood up and rushed out in a flash. Liu Bian followed up and left the tent again. The Bully Bian shook his head and tail and struggled hard, as if he had encountered a powerful enemy, with an indescribable uneasiness.

Liu Bian and Xun You looked at each other and took a deep breath at the same time.

That's right, the one who injured the Beast was Xi Zhicai, who had been missing for a long time. He held Chixiao in his hand and went to the northern border, probably not just to kill the Beast, but to a larger goal: slaying the dragon.

Liu Bian turned around and ran back to the tent. After a while, he came back, holding a black knife in his hand.

"Xuande, immediately gather the guard camp and set out with me to find the largest river nearby." Liu Bian turned over and jumped onto the beast, and said loudly: "Gongda, stay here and preside over the war with Wenhe."

Liu Bei and Xun You bowed to the order at the same time: "Yi!"

...

On the ice field where he couldn't see his fingers, Xi Zhicai wrapped his thick fur coat tightly and hugged the Chixiao Sword in his arms.

A trace of hot air emanated from the Chixiao Sword, penetrated into his body, and oozed out his skin, emitting in the vast night.

He did this not to keep warm. With his current realm, he was not afraid of the cold at all. He was to use the heat of the Chixiao Sword to attract the dragon. Xun Yu once said that in this world of ice and snow, the heat on the Chixiao Sword is the most fatal temptation to the dragon. He came here thousands of miles away to kill the dragon, but he didn't know where the dragon was. He could only consume precious true energy to activate the Chixiao Sword and lure the dragon to come.

He had been sitting here for two days, and his true energy was about to be exhausted, but he did not see any trace of the dragon. It seemed that the dragon was not nearby, and all his hardships and waits for the past two days were in vain.

Just as Xi Zhicai moved his body and wanted to stand up, he suddenly stopped again, raised his head and looked into the distance.

It was pitch black in the distance, and nothing could be seen or heard.
