Tao Qian said, he couldn't help but cry, and he could see that this incident was too big a blow to him.

Mi Zhu said: "Cao thief wolf ambition, even if there is no Cao Song killed in Xuzhou, he will think of other excuses to attack Xuzhou, so the lord does not need to blame himself for this." ”

Liu Bei also said: "Mi Beijia is right, Cao Cao has a lot of ambitions, since he has the intention of annexing Xuzhou, he will call him if his father is killed in Xuzhou." ”

Before the banquet began, Tao Qian had already introduced his subordinates to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei already knew who this Mi Zhu was.

Tao Qian said: "But no matter what, this matter is because of the old man, the old man has a responsibility that cannot be shirked, now Xuzhou City is under siege of the Cao army, non-heroes can not save Xuzhou from danger, and Xuande justice is the hero of the world, and I hope that Xuande Gong will not give up the expectations of the people of Xuzhou and save the people from fire and water!" ”

Tao Qian said, with tears in his eyes, while holding Liu Bei's hand tightly beside him.

Liu Bei clearly felt that Tao Qian's hands were very cold, and he couldn't stop trembling, his actions deeply moved Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei was in awe, and stood up and said: "Liu Bei is a guest general, thanks to Tao Qiangong's high hopes, I really dare not take it, Xuzhou's affairs, Liu Bei must do his best, but the position of Xuzhou pastor, Liu Bei can not accept it, and I hope that Tao Qiangong will find another candidate!" ”

Hearing Liu Bei claim to try his best to help him, but unwilling to accept the position of Xuzhou Mu, Tao Qian was half happy and half worried, just when he wanted to persuade Liu Bei to accept the position of Xuzhou Mu, Chen Deng said: "The matter of the lord asking Xuande Gong to take over Xuzhou is not in a hurry, the most important thing now is how to resist the attack of the menacing Cao army, as long as Xuzhou City can be saved, the matter of taking over will be long in the future." ”

After hearing Chen Deng's words, Liu Bei also said smoothly: "Yuanlong is right, the top priority now is to solve the crisis in Xuzhou first, and other things can be discussed in the long run." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was not moved by Tao Qian's request, Chen Deng felt very surprised, although Xuzhou is now embattled, and Xuzhou City is also in danger, but since this Liu Bei is willing to come to Xuzhou City with his life, he must have a plan, and now in this world, if there are really people who are willing to work for others without asking for anything, it is too unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but glance at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei

Sensing that Chen Deng's gaze was watching him, he also looked at him politely and nodded.

The moment he made eye contact, Chen Deng's heart suddenly shook, because he couldn't see a trace of cunning and greed in Liu Bei's eyes, his eyes were deep and bright, Chen Deng had never seen such clear eyes, looking at him, it was as if his body and mind were sucked into the vast universe, unable to extricate himself.

"Yuanlong?"

Seeing his son in a daze, Chen Qi on the side felt strange, so he reminded him loudly.

Chen Deng, who was awakened by his father's scream, found that he was so out of shape, and he was in a daze in front of the public without realizing it.

Chen Qi felt that his son was a little abnormal, so he asked him, "Yuanlong, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The reason why Chen Qi asked his son this is because Chen Deng has always been shrewd, especially on critical occasions, his spirit is very concentrated, and he will never wander for no reason, even as a father, Chen Qi has never seen his son Chen Deng have such a gaffe.

Facing his father's question, Chen Deng hurriedly replied to his father: "Back to my father, the child is in good health, and it is the child's fault that he was distracted for a while, which made his father worry. ”

"Hmm."

Chen Qi didn't look at his son Chen Deng, but touched his beard and looked at Liu Bei, who was talking to Tao Qian.

is the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, how can his son Chen Deng's every move escape the eyes of his father Chen Qi?

"I see, this Liu Bei is really not an ordinary person!"

After observing Liu Bei's behavior and speech, Chen Qi touched his beard, nodded and spoke to himself.

"Father, do you feel the same way?"

After hearing his father Chen Qi's evaluation of Liu Bei, Chen Deng asked with some excitement.

Chen Qi glanced at his son Chen Deng, and asked strangely: "So what?" No, so what? ”

Hearing his father's rhetorical question, Chen Deng was a little overwhelmed, and he suddenly found that he had inexplicable expectations for Liu Bei, who he met for the first time, and he couldn't say why he was like this.

When his father Chen Qi asked rhetorically

When he was there, Chen Dengcai suddenly realized that he expected his father to have a high opinion of this person named Liu Bei.

Chen Deng blushed and said embarrassedly: "No, it's nothing." ”

Seeing his son's helpless appearance, Chen Jue said disapprerovingly: "Child, you don't have to be ashamed, because what you think now, I have experienced it in the past." ”

Chen Jue said, turned his head to look at his son, and said seriously: "But don't forget, what is your real mission?" ”

Chen Qi's words woke up Chen Deng's fantasy like cold water, and Chen Deng said in fear: "The son remembers his father's teachings, and he dare not forget his mission for a moment!" ”

The mission that Chen Jue's father and son said was naturally to revitalize the Chen family, because Chen Jue could see at a glance that his son had an inexplicable good impression of this Liu Bei, and Chen Jue understood his son's feelings, because when he was young, he was also full of enthusiasm and ambition like Chen Deng, and he was determined to do something earth-shattering.

But as he grew older, Chen Jue gradually understood that it was just an illusory wish, and the revitalization of their Chen family was a practical and effective century-old plan to protect their descendants.

Chen Deng has been instilled with this kind of thinking by his father since he was a child, he knows that he has a heavy responsibility, and he never dares to think about other things else, but now his mind is suddenly seen through by his father, how can he not feel flustered?

He was like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by his father.

Seeing Chen Deng's appearance at the moment, Chen Qi, who has always been strict, suddenly softened, when he was young, for this mission, he gave up his dream of life, and served for decades for a Taishou who had no ambitions, although he successfully made his family the leading family in Xuzhou, but what he paid was also the most precious years in his life.

Chen Qi couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Do you have to let the next generation bear your regrets?

Before Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, he had never considered this problem, presumably his son Chen Deng, maybe occasionally thought about it, but he never wavered in that belief, but people are not as good as heaven, he never thought that a person he had never met had just appeared, and he made his son who had worked hard to cultivate shake the idea of sticking to it for nearly thirty years.
