Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

I noticed that his arm was like a twisted tree branch, hanging limply at his side.

"Sima Yi, you!" Subaru Natsuki hurriedly tried to draw his sword with his other hand.

But Sima Yi did not give him that opportunity.

The second palm strike landed.

The other arm also lost sensation under his palm.

Natsuki Subaru staggered backward, trying to create some distance. But Sima Yi had already caught up, his face still bearing that hypocritical smile.

"Is the General well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently patted Subaru's knee with his palm.

The bones were dislocated under the force of the palm.

Natsuki Subaru's legs buckled, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Sima Yi then delivered two more blows, completely neutralizing the last remaining points where Subaru Natsuki could exert force.

Natsuki Subaru lay on the cold ground, unable to move even his fingers.

A young figure emerged from the shadows of the city gate.

Sima Zhao looked at Mao on the ground and asked in a low voice:

"Father, is everything alright now?"

Sima Yi looked down at his work and smiled with satisfaction.

"rest assured."

"Your father timed it perfectly; he won't die for at least another half an hour!"

"In this way, even if he becomes invincible after death, he cannot magically grow his limbs back out of thin air; he can only become invincible when he is completely immobilized!"

"This continued until his soul was completely consumed!"

"Let's go, Zhao'er."

"You and I, father and son, can now rest easy."

Sima Yi turned and left with Sima Zhao.

Their footsteps faded into the distance, eventually disappearing completely into the night of Hanzhong.

Natsuki Subaru was like a stray dog ​​that was carelessly disposed of, abandoned by them on the roadside.

Subaru Natsuki lay alone on the ground...

My body was unable to move, but the pain in my chest returned.

"How could this be?"

"Heaven's will...Sima Yi!"

Unable to move an inch, Natsuki Subaru stared intently at the fading starlight, his eyes flashing with boundless hatred.

Everything he experienced during the Three Kingdoms period flashed before his eyes like a phantom.

Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao...

The final image is frozen at

Qinghe, dressed in a wedding gown.

She stood under the red candlelight, the red glow falling on her face, she was so beautiful...

"I will wait for you to come back!"

These words are still vivid in Natsuki Subaru's mind.

"I'm sorry, Qinghe, it seems I have no choice but to... take the body back..."

Natsuki Subaru closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, blurring his vision.

He was still unwilling to accept it!

"I promised Qinghe that I would definitely go back!"

"Stand up!"

"Stand up!"

Natsuki Subaru desperately urged his legs forward.

However, the tendons and veins in his legs had already been severed, and he couldn't even lift a single toe.

Gradually, as Subaru Natsuki's magical power was gradually depleted, immense pain once again enveloped his entire body.

Subaru's vision was mostly swallowed by darkness, and even the outline of the city gate began to blur.

He is very clear.

Soon, I will die again.

And if I were to return to the Three Kingdoms era again, I would only be able to die again in this form...

It's impossible for them to stir up any more waves during the Three Kingdoms period.

But what's the use of being unwilling to accept it?

Just as Subaru Natsuki's consciousness was about to sink into nothingness.

Suddenly, he felt a cold liquid fall from above, flowing down his lips and into his throat.

The pungent aroma of alcohol exploded in my mind.

Subaru Natsuki, regaining some clarity, trembled as he opened his eyes.

A familiar figure stood above him.

Upon seeing who it was, Subaru Natsuki's eyes widened in shock, and he stood frozen in place.

“Master…Master…” Natsuki Subaru’s voice was hoarse and trembling.

The man simply lowered his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly as usual, pouring wine over his head with one hand and holding a piece of paper that was wet with wine in the other.

He crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it aside, where it crashed through several large trees.

"Natsuki, I heard you want to see me."

A few tears rolled down Natsuki Subaru's cheeks...

"My lord..."

Yes, the person who came was the very person he had been longing to apologize to...

Liu Bei...

Chapter 114: 109. Quickly pass through the Sage's Tower.

"Natsuki, I heard you want to see me."

The cold liquor trickled down my chapped lips and into my throat, the spicy aroma of the liquor breaking free from the darkness that was about to engulf my consciousness.

Natsuki Subaru struggled to move his eyes.

Under the dim starlight, a familiar figure stood before him.

The man was wearing a dusty coat and carrying a wine jug. He looked tired, though it was unclear whether it was from a long journey or something else.

But his exhaustion did not break his spirit.

Even standing outside the desolate city gate, he remained like a pine tree rooted in wind and frost, calm, upright, and exuding an undeniable majesty.

Natsuki Subaru's lips moved slightly.

"My lord..."

Liu Bei lowered his eyes and looked at the black-haired boy lying on the ground, his limbs crippled.

"You no longer need to address me as your lord."

His voice was soft, but without the slightest hesitation.

"Since you have already surrendered to Cao Mengde, there is no need to call me 'Lord' anymore. I am but a humble weaver of mats and seller of shoes. If you must address me, then call me Xuande."

To address him by his courtesy name? That's unacceptable!

Natsuki Subaru's chest heaved violently.

These words were heavier than any scolding, piercing straight to the deepest guilt in his heart.

He tried to raise his hand, but only his shoulder twitched slightly on the ground.

A piercing pain shot through his broken bones, causing his vision to blur.

"why?"

Subaru Natsuki's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

"My lord, why are you here?"

This is Hanzhong.

Although Liu Bei will eventually become the King of Hanzhong, it shouldn't be now!

Liu Bei should be in Jiangdong with Sun Quan, or in Jingzhou with Liu Biao.

Why did we come here?

Liu Bei held the wine pot and remained silent for a moment.

Nature comes for you.

As soon as those words were spoken, Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted.

"For me?"

"I know you want to learn swordsmanship, and I remember our promise." Liu Bei looked at him. "Since you made a promise, it is my duty to teach you."

Natsuki Subaru's breathing suddenly became erratic, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

The sword of benevolence and the sword of righteousness are no longer important.

He's in such a half-dead state that he definitely can't practice swordsmanship anymore. The healing magic he learned from Felix can only cure illnesses, not severed limbs or broken bodies.

Even if he could practice swordsmanship, what he cared about more now was why Liu Bei was so good to him.

Although his reasons for leaving Liu Bei are understandable, betrayal is betrayal.

Why would Liu Bei show such kindness and favor to a rebel general who had surrendered?

"But I've already betrayed you..."

Natsuki Subaru's choked voice suddenly rose, as if the emotions that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time had finally found an outlet.

“I surrendered to Yuan Shao! I betrayed your banner and our agreement! You should hate me and regard me as a traitor who betrayed his lord for personal gain, so why did you travel all this way to teach me?”

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, but his body didn't even have the right to struggle. He could only be like a pile of mud discarded by the roadside, letting the cold ground bear his roars.

Natsuki Subaru had three regrets during the Three Kingdoms period.

The unfulfilled agreement with Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao, whom they could not save during the Battle of Guandu.

On his deathbed, he was unable to wipe away the tears from Qinghe's eyes.

Of the three regrets, Yuan Shao's was the most bitter, and Qinghe's was the most heart-wrenching.

Therefore, the agreement with Liu Bei was undoubtedly the one that weighed on Natsuki Subaru's heart the longest.

Although he was not as resentful and pained as the other two regrets.

However, it constantly torments Natsuki Subaru's conscience.

He was reminded that he abandoned the lord who initially accepted him when he first arrived in this world because he was afraid of being bullied...

Natsuki Subaru still remembers when Liu Bei said he saw that Subaru was physically fit, so he took him in as an axeman.

He was quite proud at the time, feeling that after training for so long, he finally had a chance to put his skills to use.

But after actually going to the battlefield, Natsuki Subaru realized that his physical abilities were nothing.

Liu Bei's army of six thousand soldiers could make him dizzy and disoriented with just a yawn. With such a weak constitution, he'd have a hard time even being a farmer.
