"You say there are rumors like this circulating everywhere else?" Liu Bei asked timidly.

If this were the case elsewhere, then the reputation he had worked so hard to manage was now gone. If you kill your own people like your righteous brothers, there is nothing you can't do.

Xu Shu nodded heavily, and sighed in his heart: Liu Bei was too reckless before.

"Damn. Liu Yu actually framed me like this! Liu Bei will not admit that he did such a thing, anyway, now that Jian Yong is dead, no one in his subordinates knows that he did this thing, he can say whatever he wants.

Xu Shu, a person who knew the inside story, could only close his mouth tightly, he knew that he couldn't say half a word.

"Big brother, the clear will clear themselves, and the rumors will stop at the wise!" Wei Yan spoke very wisely for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was very satisfied, Wei Yan was right when he said so, as long as he insisted on not admitting it, it was not that there was no evidence for what others said. Even if Liu Yu came up with strong evidence, who could guarantee that it was not forged by Liu Yu. Uncle Liu Huang's benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and the world knows that they can't slander them with just a few words.

Liu Bei was very relieved of his reputation. But the next situation made Liu Bei a little panicked.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce both sent people over to offer condolences.

These two princes sent people over, which means that they also received the news. If they don't believe it, they don't need to send someone over to condole, sending someone over like this, isn't it just turning around and saying that they believe in this rumor very much, and they came to condolence to show their support for Liu Bei.

In order to show his attention, Liu Bei brought his civil ministers and military generals to receive them.

Cao Cao was only a civil official, and his official position was very small, so small that Liu Bei had never even heard of his name. Cao Cao sent someone to give some condolences to Liu Bei, and at the same time said that the Son of Heaven and the prime minister attached great importance to Liu Bei, and hoped that Liu Bei would make persistent efforts to exert his residual heat for the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu was embarrassed and embarrassed. Spare heat? He Liu Bei hasn't reached the point where he's getting weaker.

The people on Cao Cao's side said a few beautiful words, and then immediately left the public security port, not even giving Liu Bei the opportunity to entertain him, he was really a fool who didn't know how to take advantage of it.

This made Liu Bei and his subordinates very unhappy. Especially Wei Yan, he felt insulted, and thought about whether to find someone halfway to do all the people sent by Cao Cao. But in the end, Wei Yan still gave up this unrealistic idea, now the biggest enemy is Liu Yu, if he does this, I am afraid that Liu Bei's side will become more difficult. Wei Yan didn't want Liu Bei to be difficult, and he didn't want his life to be threatened.

And the person from Jiangdong was a very heroic-looking man. Liu Bei Su came to see people very accurately, and when he saw the other party, he was a rare talent. Liu Bei's hunger for talent is like taking drugs. It's a talent, and he will try to recruit it.

And this person said to Liu Bei with a smile on his face: "I've seen Uncle Liuhuang!" ”

"The gentleman is extraordinary. Dare to ask your name! Liu Bei said with a flattering face.

This person didn't seem to react much, but still kept smiling and said, "In Xia Lu Su Lu Zijing." Now my lord Sun Bofu is doing things. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Zijing! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Liu Bei was a little gloomy, this Lu Su seemed to be a loyal person, and he would not generally recognize the master, so he would not be solicited by others.

The person who came was the famous Lu Su Lu Zijing in history. It is said that this Lu Su was born in a family of scholars and grew up with a golden key. Unfortunately, he lost his father at a young age and was raised by his grandmother. Lu Su, who lacked father's love, did not become a gentleman who ate, drank and had fun, on the contrary, he had a bold personality, liked to read, was good at riding and shooting, and his reputation as a virtuous man resounded throughout the surrounding counties. In addition, Lu Su is burly, has a good demeanor when walking, and talks elegantly, so that many people of insight are willing to make friends with him.

When he became an adult, Lu Su saw that the court was mediocre, the officials were corrupt, and the society was in turmoil.

What is even more rare is Lu Su's righteousness and squandering money, and Lu Su will be generous to helpless people who come to ask for help. In the years when the harvest was bad, Lu Su would also reduce his own land rent, giving the poor people a way to live. In the countryside, as soon as Lu Su was mentioned, he stretched out a thumbs up and praised it.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu was the head of the nest, and in order to provide Sun Ce with grain and grass to attack Jiangdong, he deliberately asked Lu Su for help. Lu Su was very optimistic about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, who knew how to invest, generously gave Zhou Yu a warehouse of 3,000 grains. Since then, the two have become friends.

After getting along for a period of time, Zhou Yu discovered Lu Su's amazing talent and character, and hurriedly invited Lu Su to join Jiangdong's camp. Lu Su had been waiting for Zhou Yu's words for a long time, and agreed very quickly.

Originally, in history, Lu Su defected to Jiangdong during Sun Quan's reign. But because the current situation is no longer the same, Emperor Shenwu's menacing posture, Lu Su feels that he can't continue to stay at home, he must find a prince to take refuge, and then give full play to his talents, so that he will not come to this world in vain.

Sun Ce, who is closest to Lu Su and is very much in line with Lu Su's appetite, has become the object of Lu Su's refuge, otherwise why would Lu Su give Zhou Yu the food in his home so generously?

As soon as Lu Su appeared in front of Sun Ce, he was immediately valued by Sun Ce. Sun Ce's vision of seeing people is not bad, and he can feel the difference in Lu Su. At the same time, Zhou Yu told Lu Su about his original help, and Sun Ce immediately regarded Lu Su as his own person and let him be in charge of military affairs, which belonged to Zhou Yu's deputy.

This time, Sun Ce sent someone to inquire about Liu Bei, and Lu Su volunteered to come. Lu Su knew some things about Liu Bei from Zhou Yu, and was very interested in Liu Bei, the so-called Han clan relative, and this time Lu Su wanted to see for himself what was so special about this Liu Bei. If he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, Lu Su wants to use his ability to help Sun Ce. Liu Bei's reputation is very loud, and Lu Su is not confused by this illusion. No prince or hero is easy to match, Lu Su didn't believe that Liu Bei was a benevolent gentleman from the bottom of his heart, and this time Liu Bei's poisoning of Zhang Fei caused a lot of uproar, Lu Su even more hoped that he would come over and prove it in person. Fortunately, Sun Ce was very relieved of Lu Su and boldly let Lu Su come.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei's appearance, although he looked a little pale and embarrassed, his hands over his knees and his big earlobes were really eye-catching, and Lu Su felt that this person was not simple. How can anyone who is gifted be a simple person.

"I have admired the name of the emperor's uncle for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see my true face today." Lu Su said respectfully to Liu Bei.

Lu Su's every move revealed a good cultivation and temperament, which made Liu Bei's heart broken, and at the same time, he was very jealous of Sun Ce. This kid has a good life, he has had a very good father since he was a child, left a lot of good hands for him, and made a trustworthy good brother Zhou Yu, not to mention extremely intelligent, but also very capable. Even talents like Lu Su automatically went to work. On the other hand, I am more than a step behind. Liu Bei's family was already depressed when it reached his grandfather's generation. Coupled with the early death of Liu Bei's father, Liu Bei finally fell to the point of selling straw shoes, and today's achievements are made by Liu Bei himself step by step.

Liu Bei could only sigh in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, and said softly: "Mr. Zijing." ”

"Uncle Huang must not add the title of Mr. after his name, he is only shallow in his studies, how can he be worthy of Uncle Huang's attention. Uncle Huang can still call the words in the following table. Lu Su seemed to be flattered.

This is a talent, and the relationship between them is closer in just a few words. Liu Bei also got off the donkey down the slope and said, "That's fine, you and I are also closer." Zijing, I don't know if General Sun sent you to come here to have something important to order? ”

"Uncle Huang, how dare my lord have orders to Uncle Huang. It's just that recently, various rumors have been circulating in Koto that are unfavorable to the imperial uncle. It is even said that the emperor was injured by the assassins. When my father-in-law heard about this, he was very worried, and immediately asked him to come down to offer condolences. Fortunately, Uncle Huang is safe and sound, and those rumors are self-defeating! Lu Su said with a smile.

Lu Su's words verified Liu Bei's previous guess, and sure enough, other places knew about him poisoning Zhang Fei, and Sun Ce sent someone to see his jokes.

At this time, Liu Bei did not stiffen, he knew that if he refuted it, he was afraid that Sun Ce would conclude that he had done this. But then again, no matter how much Liu Bei quibbles, will Sun Ce and Zhou Yu believe it.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei still said sadly: "Be unlucky." Victimized by adulterers. Zijing heard right, I was indeed injured by the assassin! ”

"Huh? Is Uncle Huang in good health? Lu Su said in shock.

Lu Su has a very high culture, and his speech is all crepe.

"Fortunately, thanks to the manpower battle of Wen Chang and others, I have not been taken advantage of by traitors. It's a pity that Jian Xianhe, a strategist under my command, died because he protected me. My heart aches. "Liu Bei is also a bit educated.

Lu Su said secretly: "Liu Bei's words are not leaky, I am afraid that the temptation just now is useless." ”

"Uncle Huang is fine, and he and his colleagues can rest assured." Lu Su still kept smiling.

Liu Bei said: "General Sun cares about Liu Bei so much, Liu Bei really can't repay him." ”

"Uncle Huang. Now the war is urgent. Our lord is very worried about the defense of the public security port. If the emperor has a need, he can talk directly with him. I tried my best to report to the lord for the emperor's uncle. Lu Su looked loyal and honest.

These words made Liu Bei's people very comfortable, see no, this Lu Zijing is really a loyal and good person, and now he is thinking about the lord. Lu Su's image has suddenly improved greatly on Liu Bei's side. Of course, only one person is excepted. Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu didn't feel this way. On the contrary, Xu Shu felt that Lu Su was very dangerous. The more loyal and honest people seem, the more they can't be trusted.

"Zijing has a heart. But it's not easy for General Sun, and I, Liu Bei, can't make trouble for General Sun. "Liu Bei is self-aware. At this time, let Sun Ce help, will Sun Ce give it? The result is conceivable.

Lu Su said: "Uncle Huang is really benevolent and righteous, and his reputation is well deserved. My lord thought it was a difficult time for Uncle Huang's side. Before coming down, my lord instructed that if the emperor had any needs, he could do his best to meet them. Uncle Huang has always had full confidence in doing things. It seems that my lord is overly worried. Uncle Huang can rest assured, he will definitely report to my lord in the future, and he can completely hand over the affairs of the Public Security Port to Uncle Huang in the future. ”

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, did this Lu Zijing come here specifically to make fun of him, he has said so many beautiful things, what are you talking about?

Lu Su saw Liu Bei's small movements, so he said, "Since Uncle Huang is fine. I took my leave first. My lord is so anxious that he must go back to report to him the good news that the emperor is still safe. Please forgive me Uncle Huang. ”

"Zijing, why don't you stay a few more days?" Liu Bei pretended to hold back.

"The lord is looking forward to it all the time, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Lu Su felt that there was no need for him to stay here.

Liu Bei sent Lu Su outside the public security port and watched Lu Su leave by boat. The two reluctantly parted with each other, as if their feelings were so deep.

After Lu Su left, Xu Shu came to Liu Bei's side and said, "Lord, this Lu Zijing is not an ordinary person. ”

Liu Bei nodded in agreement and said, "This person will definitely be a masterpiece of a generation in the future." It is also good for me to be good with him now. ”

After Lu Su returned to Chaisang, he reported to Sun Ce what he had seen and heard about Liu Bei's visit this time. Sun Ce felt that Liu Bei was fine, so he stopped asking about Liu Bei's affairs.

And Lu Su was stopped by Zhou Yu as soon as he came out of the door.

Zhou Yu asked, "Zijing, what do you think of Liu Bei?" ”

Lu Su smiled: "Liu Xuande? In the following view, the posture of the hero! But it seems that luck is not so good. ”

"Heroes see the same thing." Zhou Yu smiled.

"Then Gong Jin shouldn't have a treat? I have to be rewarded for my hard work. The boat ride this way made my whole body sore, and it seems that there is no cure without the best wine and food. Lu Su squinted his eyes and said.

This look is simply an image of a bad friend.

Zhou Yu patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll be the east today." It's just that you Lu Zijing is very rich. Why do you always want me to have a treat? ”

Lu Su said unashamedly: "I don't know who received the grain in the next warehouse? Hey, that's a lot of money. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, this guy is generous on the surface, but he is actually very picky.

Lu Su is just talking, he just likes the atmosphere with Zhou Yu very much.

"Let's go! Why are you still cold? Zhou Yu said a little angrily.

Lu Su just smiled and didn't speak.
