They advanced inside the forest for fourteen days even though the actual tiht days This is because they were avoiding pursuit Even after fourteen days, they still could not see the borders of Yangzhou As long as they have not left Yangzhou, the danger of pursuit was still there

“Everyone Set up caht There were already a few casualties bitten by snakes ast the troops There were also wounded soldiers whose injuries were infected by the humidity of the forest As a result, they had chosen tothe day and rest when it turned dark

Even though the order was to set up camp, in actual fact, they only placed a few tents They were afraid that a fire would alert the eneether ater It was a very simple and crude meal Some soldiers even decided not to eat because of this

Besides that, it was Liu Bei who decided when it was ti Xiu had not yet fully recovered, this task fell to Liu Bei

As everyone busied themselves, Liu Bei quickly found a stone to sit on and pondered His eyes were lifeless as he shook his head with a frown nobody knehat he was thinking of

“Milord Do you have so you?” After so appeared in his worn out clothes His clothing had been dah roads in the forests He did not wear ar that it would slow him down and that it would be over if they were found by the Lu Bu’s Army

Unfortunately, all he obtained was benevolence and not Zhang Xiu’s allegiance The reason for this is because Zhang Xiu now had strongerXiu to listen to Liu Bei Although Liu BeiXiu, it wasn’t as though Zhang Xiu had never provided Liu Bei with any help before

Liu Bei could not help but feel discouraged and questioned himself Perhaps the world has no place for a straw sandal seller like hi he could only think to himself and not tell others That hy he did not want to reply to Pang Tong’s question
