Another year later, the Battle of Xia Pi broke out. Cao Cao, the deputy leader of Tianfeng Pavilion, led some troops to confront Lu Bu's forces.

The battlefield was filled with deafening shouts and the thick smoke of gunpowder seemed to envelop the entire world, making it hard to breathe.

No. 2 reported the battle situation to Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi, who knew the direction of history, instructed that at the critical moment, Lu Bu must be rescued and brought to Shu.

Outside Xia Pi City, Cao Cao was wearing black armor, standing tall and straight, like a towering mountain. His cold, eagle-like eyes revealed a sharpness and majesty that was chilling.

The elite soldiers and generals under his command were all in high spirits and vigor, especially generals such as Hou Cheng and Song Xian, who were extremely brave and brave, as if they could defeat ten enemies with one. Under Cao Cao's command, they surrounded Lü Bu's forces and formed an impenetrable encirclement.

On the city wall, Lu Bu was holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. Although he was still majestic, and the cold light emitted from the halberd seemed to be telling of his past bravery, his furrowed brow could not hide the anxiety in his heart.

The fierce attacks of Cao's army in recent days were like a surging tide, one wave after another, which caused most of Lu Bu's troops to be killed. The originally mighty army is now reduced to a few.

During this long standoff, food supplies were gradually running out. The soldiers in the city were pale and thin, and their morale was low. The situation was extremely critical.

No. 2 was hiding in the darkness, his figure blending into the surrounding environment. It was difficult to detect without careful observation. He was like a lurking cheetah, watching intently every change in the battlefield situation.

Seeing that Lu Bu's situation was becoming increasingly difficult, he couldn't help but become secretly anxious. Xiao Qi's instructions kept echoing in his mind, his eyes became more determined, and he secretly vowed to complete the task.

At this time, the city was in chaos and panic. The cries and shouts of the people mixed together to form a tragic melody that echoed over the city.

Lü Bu paced the tent, his heavy footsteps echoing in everyone's heart. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and soaking his clothes. His heart was filled with resentment and despair, like a caged beast, its strength boundless but unable to exert itself.

Advisor Chen Gong anxiously advised, "General, under the current circumstances, the only way to survive is to fight hard and break through."

Zhang Liao followed closely behind, saying, "We have repeatedly requested aid from Yuan Shu, but to no avail. Advisor Chen is right. I am willing to join you in breaking through the encirclement and fighting our way out!"

Lü Bu's gaze shifted slightly after hearing this. He stared at Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, a look of determination in his eyes. He knew that this was a critical moment of life and death. If he hesitated any longer, he might actually die here.

He took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and was about to give an order when suddenly, there was a commotion in Cao's army camp outside the city.

Number 2 seized this perfect opportunity and, like a ghost, instantly shuttled through Cao's army. His spiritual power was secretly concentrated, and wherever he moved, the Cao army soldiers felt a chill that penetrated their bones. In an instant, as if struck by lightning, they inexplicably collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, No. 2 rushed to the city like a gust of wind. He shouted to the city wall: "General Lu, I am the reinforcement. Open the city gate quickly!"

When Lu Bu heard this, although he had doubts in his heart, looking at the chaotic Cao army camp outside the city and the mysterious figure in front of him who claimed to be reinforcements, he had no choice but to order the gate to be opened.

After entering the city, Number 2 quickly approached Lu Bu, bowed, and said respectfully, "General Lu, Fairy Xiaoqi knows of your predicament and has sent me to assist you. For now, please follow me and avoid the enemy for a while."

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he asked in astonishment, "Who are you? And who is Fairy Xiaoqi?"

Number 2 smiled slightly and said calmly, "General, there's no need to ask any more questions. Our lives are at stake. Please follow me out of the city immediately."

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, but was ultimately driven by the desire to survive. He gritted his teeth, led the remaining troops, and followed No. 2 to break out.

After Cao's army discovered the abnormality, they reacted immediately and quickly surrounded and intercepted the enemy.

Upon seeing this, No. 2's spiritual power instantly burst out, and the sword in his hand danced like a spirit snake out of a cave, impenetrable.

For a moment, sword shadows were heavy and cold lights flashed. Those cold lights seemed to form a solid barrier, and no one of Cao's soldiers could get close to it.

His figure was as fast as lightning, rushing left and right in the crowd. Every time he swung his sword, a blood mist was raised, which looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Lu Bu and others were not willing to be outdone. They followed closely behind No. 2, fighting hard, waving their weapons constantly, and engaged in a fierce life-and-death battle with Cao's army. The two sides were tied for a while.

After finally escaping the encirclement, Lü Bu looked at Number 2, who was covered in blood but remained calm, and couldn't help but admire him. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life. Lü Bu is willing to serve you at your service."

Number 2 waved his hand and said casually, "You're welcome, General. Let's find a place to stay first."

······

On the other side, Xiao Qi had already made arrangements and ordered No. 3 to intercept Liu Bei and his group who were about to surrender to Cao Cao halfway.

Liu Bei rode the famous Dilu horse, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him. The three of them looked heroic and imposing.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Guan Yu held his sword horizontally, glared angrily, his eyes revealing a sharp murderous intent, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you block our way!"

Number 3, however, remained calm and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, I mean no harm. Fairy Xiao Qi has long admired your great name, and I would like to invite you to visit Shuzhong for a chat."

Liu Bei was shocked and thought to himself, "What is this Little Fairy's purpose?"

Zhang Fei, however, grew impatient and shouted at the top of his voice, "Who cares about fairies? We're going to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao. We don't have time to waste on you!"

Having said that, he was about to ride his horse forward.

"In that case, I'm sorry to offend you." Since the soft approach didn't work, No. 3 planned to use a hard approach.

"How brave!" After saying that, Zhang Fei was about to ride his horse forward, raising the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand high, as if he was going to knock the man in front of him off his horse in an instant.

Seeing this, Guan Yu also spurred his horse forward and stood side by side with Zhang Fei. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand flashed with a cold light. The two men's eyes met, and they immediately had a tacit understanding and rushed towards No. 3 together.

Seeing this, No. 3 remained calm. He lowered his body slightly, and stood firmly on his feet as if they had taken root. He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him, and a faint aura of spiritual energy emanated from him.

When Guan Yu's long sword and Zhang Fei's snake spear were about to pierce him, he suddenly dodged to the side, easily avoiding the fierce attack. At the same time, his right hand quickly stretched out and grabbed Zhang Fei's snake spear.

Zhang Fei saw this and pulled hard at the snake spear, but found it didn't budge at all. He couldn't help but get furious and shouted, "You little brat, you actually have such strength!"

After saying that, he tensed the muscles in his arms and used all his strength to pull hard again. No. 3 let go of his hands and used this force to slide back several steps.

Guan Yu took this opportunity, wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slashing down at No. 3 from top to bottom. The blade was whistling and powerful.

No. 3 didn't dare to take it head-on and quickly dodged sideways. However, Guan Yu's swordsmanship was sharp and varied, and he struck one blow after another, leaving No. 3 no chance to breathe.

No. 3 dodged left and right, secretly groaning in his heart. He didn't expect that Guan Yu's martial arts were so powerful.

Zhang Fei had adjusted his state by this time. He shouted again, brandished his snake spear, and attacked No. 3 from the side.

His moves were wide and powerful, and each thrust was accompanied by a tremendous force. The tip of the spear cut through the air, making a hissing sound.

No. 3 was caught between the attacks of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and was a little flustered for a moment, but he had good skills after all. At this critical moment, he activated his spiritual power, and his steps became agile, shuttling between the attacks of the two like a ghost.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding. One of them is the main attacker and the other is the supporting attacker, and their offensive becomes more and more fierce.

No. 3 was gradually forced to retreat, and his clothes were torn in several places by the swords and spears.

However, in this predicament, No. 3's eyes suddenly focused. He found the momentary flaw when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked alternately, took a step forward suddenly, and with both palms out, a powerful wave of spiritual power rushed towards the two of them.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt the pressure of this spiritual power and had to temporarily stop attacking and leap back.

The two of them exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of surprise and solemnity in the other's eyes. They had never expected that this seemingly ordinary interceptor could possess such powerful spiritual power.

At this time, Liu Bei was watching the battle from the side and was secretly amazed in his heart.

He knew very well that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both highly skilled in martial arts and rarely had any rivals in normal times. However, today they fought No. 3 on equal terms. It seemed that the subordinates of Fairy Xiaoqi were indeed no ordinary people.

"Brothers, hold off!" Liu Bei shouted. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei obeyed and put away their weapons, but they still watched No. 3 warily.

Liu Bei spurred his horse forward a few steps and addressed No. 3, "Who are you, sir? Why are you blocking our path? What exactly is this Little Seventh Fairy's intention?"

Number 3 bowed and smiled, "Uncle Liu, my Little Fairy Seven really does sincerely invite you to come to Shuzhong to discuss world affairs."

"The world is in chaos now, with various factions fighting for their own interests. Only cooperation can achieve great things. My fairy has foresight and knows that the emperor's uncle is a benevolent and righteous leader, so she sent me to invite him."

Liu Bei frowned slightly after hearing this, pondering the pros and cons. He had never heard of the name of Xiao Qi Fairy before, and now she suddenly sent someone to invite him. This was too strange.

But looking at the skills and words and actions of No. 3, it doesn't seem like he is lying.

Zhang Fei said impatiently, "Brother, don't listen to him. I think he's just stalling for time. Let's just charge forward!"

Guan Yu also nodded in agreement: "Third brother, what you said makes sense. This person's origins are unknown. We should not trust him easily."

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop the two of them, then looked at No. 3 again and said, "In that case, please lead the way. I want to see what this Little Seventh Fairy has in store."
