Chapter Nine, Deng Ai recognizes Liu Feng as his elder brother

When Liu Bei came to his senses and was about to throw Liu Shan, little A Dou, who had been sweetly sleeping in Zhao Yun's arms, suddenly frowned and began to cry loudly.

You do not fight yet do not retreat, what is the reason for this

This made the proud Deng Ai feel a mix of bitterness and sweetness; what initially was just a verbal address of "Brother Liu" gradually transformed into simply "Brother" as the "Liu" was dropped.

On Liu Feng's horse, there was a peasant boy in coarse cloth clothing tightly embracing Liu Feng's waist

When Lady Gan finished wiping clean A Dou's little bottom, the little fellow comfortably stretched and slowly closed his eyes, drifting off into a sweet slumber again

... ...

Zilong, Feng Zhi, where are you?

Liu Feng shot a glare at Deng Ai, feeling quite annoyed. This stuttering fellow was nothing but a jinx. If it weren't for the fact that he would become a renowned general in the future, he wouldn't have bothered to take him along.

Liu Feng, accompanied by the Mi family and Liu Yue and Liu Lan, avoided the main battlefield where the Cao army was gathering and arrived near Lumen Mountain in the early hours of the morning

Deng Ai slid down from his horse and asked Liu Feng: "Liu... Liu Da... Brother, there are no... no horses left, what... what should we do?"

Moreover, from Liu Feng's words and actions, Deng Ai felt that this Brother Liu truly did not harbor any contempt towards him, unlike some individuals who feign such sentiments

Zhang Fei, who originally only anticipated Zhao Yun's return, unknowingly found himself with another person to worry about

Starting from Xinye, this horse has been accompanying Liu Feng in battle, enduring prolonged periods without proper rest, and after continuous running, it has finally reached its limit

Faced with the imminent danger of being knocked out by his father, Xiao A Dou unleashed his ultimate technique

Wen Ping considered himself very clever, but the other generals of Cao were not foolish either. The arriving Cao Ren, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin were all shrewd individuals. Under the loud shout of Zhang Fei, they exchanged glances and assessed one another, with none daring to step forward to engage in battle.

Liu Bei attempted to throw the child but missed, instead getting himself covered in a foul smell. In desperation, he had no choice but to change into a cleaner set of deep clothing. At this moment, Zhang Fei had already dismantled Changban Bridge and returned leading the troops

Liu Bei, upon hearing that Zhang Fei had broken the bridge, changed his expression drastically. Xu Shu, who was beside him, shook his head in disbelief. It was certain that they could no longer reach Jiangling. Liu Bei quickly ordered everyone to change course and flee to the Hanjin ferry.

The stuttering youth, Deng Ai, initially thought that Liu Feng would look down on him, but as they spent time together, he discovered that although Liu Feng, this elder brother, was somewhat eccentric and sometimes unclear in his speech, his attitude and tone were very friendly, without any airs.

This time, due to Liu Feng's interference, Xu Mu was saved by him, and naturally, Xu Shu felt at ease to strategize beside Liu Bei, no longer seeking to join Cao Cao

Liu Feng walked while imparting the glorious deeds of the great walkers from before the time travel to Xiao Deng Ai, who looked at Liu Feng with a bewildered expression, unable to comprehend how the wise and mighty Brother Liu had suddenly turned into a fool

Zhang Yide of the Yan clan is here, who dares to engage in a life-and-death battle!

The Qinggang Sword was intercepted by Liu Feng midway, causing Zhao Yun's combat effectiveness to decrease by nearly half. By the time he reached the bridge at Changbanpo, he was already exhausted, unable to even lift his shining silver spear.

According to the historical timeline, at this moment, Xu Shu would learn that his mother had been captured by Cao's army, and then he would bid farewell to Liu Bei. The sorrowful Liu Huangshu, unable to do anything, could only hold Xu Shu's hand and weep bitterly as they parted.

Liu Bei nodded and said with a helpless expression: "Yuan Zhi, rest assured, Feng Er has saved your mother and Xian He. If he can return safely, I will certainly treat him well. Ever since Chan Er was born, I have been blessed with a son in my middle age, and I have cherished him dearly, which has indeed caused me to somewhat neglect Feng Er."

"Yide, hurry and help me!" Zhao Yun called out urgently.

Wen Ping took a few steps back, feeling a sense of dread in his heart: "I have witnessed Zhang Fei's martial prowess, which is certainly on par with that of Zhao Yun. With my own abilities, I absolutely cannot match him. It would be better to wait for a moment and let the other generals of the Cao army step forward to first wear down Zhang Fei's momentum."

Fortunately, both Madam Gan and Mother Xu were present. In the face of their skilled handling, A Dou, this one-year-old infant, could only helplessly accept the outcome of being molested by women

Later, we will raise a flag that says: "Deng Ai of Yiyang walks with his mother to the Great Han!"

Liu Feng did not expect that during his nighttime journey, he would encounter Deng Ai and her son once again. The young boy, holding the ring-headed knife that Liu Feng had given him, was protecting his mother and had also made his way to Lumen Mountain.

Zhang Yide, a man from Yan, challenges anyone to a life-and-death battle!" Zhang Fei shouted fiercely, his eyes glaring intensely at Wen Pin

From Zhao Yun, it was learned that Liu Feng and Lady Mi were both trapped in a heavy encirclement and unable to escape. Old Liu was once again overwhelmed with sorrow, his hands trembling slightly as he held A Dou, momentarily forgetting to throw A Dou aside to gather Zhao Yun's heart.

As Zhang Fei blocked the Cao army at the bridgehead, Zhao Yun finally reunited with Liu Bei while holding onto A Dou.

Liu Bei wandered for half his life; he did have biological sons, but the one who truly grew up smoothly was Liu Shan, and it is only natural that he received more affection.

Liu... Liu, big brother Liu, Ma, Ma, Ma... has started to bubble..." Deng Ai pointed at his mount, a puzzled expression appearing on his silly face

"Zilong, go ahead and cross the bridge; I will single-handedly hold off the pursuing soldiers." Zhang Fei saw this clearly from the bridge and hurriedly urged his horse forward, brandishing his spear to provide support.

Liu Feng's team consists of a total of 3 horses. Liu Yue and Liu Lan ride one horse together, while Lady Mi and Mother Deng share another. This leaves Deng Ai with no choice but to squeeze in with Liu Feng.

General Cao Jun, Wen Pin, closely followed Zhao Yun to the bridgehead. Upon seeing Zhang Fei with his tiger whiskers standing upright, his round eyes wide open, and wielding a snake spear, he halted his horse on the bridge, feeling a sudden jolt in his heart

Liu Feng and Deng Ai engaged in a bit of idle chatter, merely to alleviate the strain of their journey on foot

Liu Feng lowered his head upon hearing this and realized that something was wrong. The steed was frothing at the mouth, its body twitching as if it were shaking off chaff, clearly showing signs of exhaustion and nearing collapse

At the moment when Liu Bei was conversing with Xu Shu, the sounds of shouting and killing from the south of Changban Slope grew increasingly closer. Zhang Fei anxiously looked out from the bridge, hoping to see the figures of Zhao Yun, Liu Feng, and others approaching.

Well, Xiao Deng, do not be anxious. Without a horse, we can walk. Let me tell you, there was once an era when some people relied solely on their two feet to walk and pulled a cart to make a fortune

Madam Gan, upon hearing her son cry, forced herself to come over. Before she could get close, she was met with a strong stench of feces. As she removed the swaddling cloth that wrapped around A Dou's body, an intense odor immediately spread throughout the air.

On the way, they encountered three to five rogue soldiers from the Cao army attacking. Liu Feng, relying on his personal abilities, fought fiercely, and his imposing demeanor excited Liu Yue and Liu Lan, who exclaimed in admiration of their elder brother's might.

The formidable Zhang Fei, with great intensity, shouted loudly, pointing his eight-foot-long spear at Wen Pin, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and others. His voice was like thunder, leaving the generals of Cao's camp exchanging glances, at a loss for what to do

Liu Bei was covered in a mess, staring blankly at A Dou's slightly greenish little bottom. While Liu Huangshu was adept at winning people's hearts, he was truly a novice when it came to taking care of children
