Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Before he could finish speaking, Sima Yi punched him hard in the chest.

Sima Zhao was knocked to the ground on the spot, and a dull thud came from his back.

Sima Yi walked up to him, looking down at him, and with each word he spoke, his fist slammed down heavily.

"You fool!"

"Subaru Natsuki is invincible after his death!"

"If you kill him today, he'll kill you tomorrow!"

"Do you want our entire Sima family to be buried with him?"

Sima Zhao was beaten so badly that he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Father, even your Bone-Melting Palm, which is invincible in close combat, is no match for him?"

"Do you think your father has the ability to defy the will of Heaven that Yuan Shao will surely lose and Cao Cao will surely win, and charge against the tide?" Sima Yi said quietly.

"Subaru Natsuki is good!"

Sima Zhao's face immediately turned pale and then purple, and he asked in a state of panic:

"Then what should we do, Father?"

Sima Yi withdrew his fist, slowly raised his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't panic, it seems I have no choice but to take action for my father myself."

"When the time comes, remember to follow me. It'll be a good opportunity for you to learn properly."

"Yes!"

Night gradually fell in Xuchang.

Even after the red candle had burned out, Kiyokawa remained nestled in Subaru's arms.

The newlywed couple seemed to have endless things to say to each other.

Qinghe's long hair was spread out on the pillow, her cheeks still flushed, but her fingers were tightly gripping Mao's clothes, as if if she let go, the person in front of her would disappear from her dream.

Subaru glanced out the window.

He should go.

The pain in his chest surged up again and again, reminding Subaru Natsuki that time was running out.

Natsuki Subaru slowly got dressed and stood by the bed looking at Kiyokawa.

The voices were mostly melancholy:

"Qinghe, I have to go."

"Don't wait any longer..."

"I will wait for you to come back."

Kiyokawa interrupted Subaru Natsuki directly.

She propped herself up and looked at him with unwavering eyes.

"Live one day, wait one day; live one month, wait one month; live one lifetime, wait one lifetime."

"I've only been waiting for you all my life."

Subaru closed his eyes and turned away.

The resolute look in Qinghe's eyes made him realize that he couldn't linger any longer. If he looked at her even once more, the determination he had so painstakingly made would begin to waver.

"it is good."

He nodded slightly.

"I promise you. No matter what, I will come back."

After saying that, Subaru didn't dare to turn back and walked straight out the door.

Perhaps one day, he will truly be able to defy fate, and perhaps then he can return to Xuchang, and sit side by side with Qinghe by the window, watching an endless starry night...

At that time, this promise will not be considered broken!

Subaru gently closed the door; the guests in the courtyard had long since left.

However, the armor that Natsuki Subaru usually wore on the battlefield was polished until it shone and neatly arranged in the courtyard.

Natsuki Subaru immediately activated [Starry Night], donned his armor, and his figure swept out of Xuchang City.

He had just reached the vicinity of the city gate when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Mao'er".

Natsuki Subaru turned around in surprise.

He discovered that Cao Cao was carrying a wine jug and swaying as he walked towards him in the starry night.

The middle-aged King of Wei was clearly drunk, with tears in his eyes, yet he was still trying to discern the direction of the city gate and the road.

He walked over to Subaru Natsuki and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ang'er, be careful on the road."

"Don't waste your life trying to save people who aren't worth it."

Subaru Natsuki nodded.

He lowered his voice and switched back to his exaggerated colonel tone.

“Father, so are you.”

"Try to avoid getting angry and take care of your health. From now on, when we're not around to help you, you'll have to be careful in everything you do."

Cao Cao looked at him for a while, pouted, and waved his hand.

"Go."

After saying that, he picked up the wine jug and staggered into Xuchang city.

Natsuki Subaru stood outside the city gate for a while, and only after confirming that Cao Cao would not fall did he turn around and step into the starry night.

Starlight spread out beneath our feet, and the city walls of Xuchang quickly receded behind us.

"It hurts."

As he walked, Subaru Natsuki instinctively covered his chest.

If the pain is so intense that he specifically mentions it, then it must be a pain that surpasses even death!

Part of the pain came from the decaying body, but much of it was deep within the chest cavity.

It was this pain that forced him to leave his lord and his newlywed wife.

"It's all fate!"

"God, you've left me homeless!" Natsuki Subaru raised his head, his gaze towards the sky filled with endless hatred!

Now! He must go find Liu Bei.

Chibi, Jingzhou, Jiangdong.

In this timeline, Liu Bei could only appear in these few places. As long as he finds one of them, he will definitely be able to meet that person.

As for whether Liu Bei would still be willing to teach him the sword of benevolence and the sword of righteousness after he found him, Mao was not sure.

He broke his promise and left Liu Bei's side, turning to Yuan Shao, and later became Cao Cao's General of Chariots and Cavalry.

Such a fickle and unprincipled villain deserves to be dealt with by Liu Bei, even if he were to draw his sword and strike him down directly, it would be in accordance with the clear justice of Heaven.

But Natsuki Subaru still insisted on going.

The night of brewing wine in Xuchang remains etched in Subaru Nazuki's heart.

Even if he ultimately fails to learn the swords of benevolence and righteousness, he should at least personally apologize to Liu Bei...

After all, Liu Bei... was the first person in the world to treat him well...

Natsuki Subaru used this belief as a rein, forcing himself to move forward step by step.

The road in the starry night kept receding.

But Natsuki Subaru's body felt heavier and heavier.

Is it a serious relapse?

With each step, Subaru Natsuki felt as if his legs were filled with lead. The pain in his chest spread along his veins to his limbs, and his vision began to blur and turn yellow.

Where are we?

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and continued forward.

It doesn't matter if you can't see them; the starry night will naturally guide you...

can't stop.

He must continue...

Keep moving forward...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a towering city gate finally appeared in front of us.

The moment he saw the city gate, whether it was Subaru Natsuki's imagination or not, his body seemed to suddenly experience a burst of energy before death.

The pain was greatly reduced, and my vision was no longer blurry.

Natsuki Subaru slowed his pace.

"I've finally arrived? Is this Jingzhou?"

Natsuki Subaru's nascent hope froze the moment he saw the three Chinese characters on the city gate.

Hanzhong City.

"Hanzhong?"

Subaru's eyes widened.

"Why, why did our family end up in Hanzhong?"

"Our destination is Jingzhou, Jiangdong! One is in the east, and the other is in the west, so how did we end up here?"

Natsuki Subaru looked up at the night sky.

The starry night is not over yet, and the magic of stagnation can still hold.

Natsuki Subaru believed that if he changed direction now, he would still have a chance to reach Jingzhou before the magic wore off.

Just as Natsuki Subaru was about to turn around, a hand suddenly landed gently on his shoulder.

Natsuki Subaru abruptly turned his head and asked sharply:

"who?"

It wasn't until this moment that he realized there was another person beside him.

Having spent years on the battlefield, Subaru Natsuki has developed a keen ear and is best at judging the direction of enemy attacks from subtle sounds.

But just now, he didn't even hear the other person's footsteps, and the man had already silently come to his side.

Such profound internal strength!

Natsuki Subaru's gaze darkened slightly as he turned to look.

A middle-aged man with disheveled hair was standing not far away, with a smiling expression on his face, as if he had been watching for a long time.

"Aunt Sima?"

Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted.

"How will you be here?"

A sense of crisis rushed into my mind at that moment.

He instinctively reached for his sword, but Sima Yi's seemingly light hand had already slapped onto the armor on his arm.

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh tearing echoed in the night.

Feeling excruciating pain, Subaru Natsuki abruptly lowered his head.
