Failed? Gongsun Du asked in surprise.

Xi Zhong replied a little depressed: "Yes, failed!" This guy actually dodged the arrow that he was planning for, and I don't know if it was luck or if he really felt something. If the latter is fine, if the former, if you have been so lucky, then it will be troublesome. ”

"yes!"

Gongsun Du sighed, thought about it again, and finally shook his head and said: "That's it, even if he doesn't deserve to die, if he dodges, he will dodge, I believe that he will spend the next period of time in vigilance, so don't pay attention to him for the time being." ”

……

Cao Cao didn't know that he had carried the black pot for others, and he was having a headache about the lack of food at this time. Liu Bei left Xuchang and fell in love with Liu Biao, but he didn't worry about this, but he was worried about being plotted by Cao Cao.

Therefore, after Liu Bei returned to the city, it was rare that he did not run around in the city and the surrounding villages, indicating that he was close to the people, and in addition to dealing with Xinye's official duties every day, he practiced martial arts in the backyard - the Red Emperor Sword!

Originally, what was the name of this swordsmanship, Liu Bei didn't remember it, since he got the name of Uncle Liu Huang, he simply took the name of "Red Emperor Sword", but he didn't tell anyone, including Guan Yu. Perhaps, as the commander of the pro-army, Chen Zhi may occasionally hear of it, but he will never talk nonsense everywhere, and he dare not say nonsense.

On this day, seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Liu Bei wondered if he was taking advantage of this time to go out for a walk, when Chen Zhi suddenly came to report-

"Lord, Liu Jingzhou has sent an envoy to visit!"

Liu Bei was surprised in his heart, but he didn't say slowly: "Please come in and talk about it!" ”

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after, Liu Biao's envoy arrived, and Liu Bei saw that he was an acquaintance, so he said happily: "I heard that the state pastor sent an envoy to come, and I was thinking about who the messenger was, and I didn't want to be a machine uncle, so I was not very happy!" ”

"Uncle Liu Huang is serious, he is only a small official, how can he get Uncle Huang's words." Yi was also overjoyed, but there was a bit of politeness in his words.

Liu Bei was puzzled, but when he saw that there were other people beside him, he suddenly understood and said, "Someone!" ”

"Lord!"

"The messengers have come from afar, and you should take them down to rest, so that you have important matters to discuss with the envoy."

Without waiting for Chen to respond, Yi Ji arched his hand and said, "Uncle Liu Huang is polite!" Then he turned to a few people beside him and said, "Uncle Liu Huang is the same sect of the state pastor, you don't need to be so vigilant, you all go with them to rest first." ”

Only then did all the entourage respond and leave with Chen.

Liu Bei led Yi to the hall, and someone brought food and wine, and after three rounds of wine, he asked: "Uncle Ji is here, but what does Brother Jingsheng command?" ”

Yi Ji put down the wine glass and said with a strange expression: "It's not an important matter, it's just that the state pastor heard that the emperor's uncle was assassinated some time ago, and the war horse savior died, so he sent a good horse to talk about his heart." ”

"Then this is a good thing, why do you ...... it" Liu Bei was puzzled and asked.

Yi Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a good thing, but does Uncle Huang know the origin of that horse?" And who picks it? ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Could it be General Cai?" ”

"Who else but him!"

Yi Yuan stroked his palm and said: "If it is handed over to someone else, it will definitely pick a good horse for the imperial uncle, but this guy ...... Hey~"

"What's wrong? Could it be that he still dared to disobey Brother Jingsheng's orders? Isn't he afraid that Brother Jingsheng will punish him for his crimes? Liu Bei was puzzled.

How dare he!

Yi didn't dare to say this, and he didn't say it, but he just said: "General Cai naturally won't disobey the order of the state pastor, but if he does something, he won't be punished." ”

"Do something tricky? What hands and feet? Liu Bei didn't understand that this war horse was good, bad was bad, and how else could he do it.

Seeing this, Yi Ji didn't say much, but said in a low voice: "This horse's name Lu!" ”

"Lou?"

Liu Bei was stunned at first, and then frowned and said, "Is that the Lu who is rumored to be a nuisance to the master?" ”

"That's right!"

"Where did he find such a horse in such a short period of time?" Liu Bei understood, but then he had doubts.

Yi really wanted to ask Liu Bei if he had "100,000 whys", but he still said: "In the early years, the state pastor once surrendered a thief named Zhang Hu, and he sat down with such a good horse. During the drought this year, Zhang Hu rebelled and was exterminated by General Huang, and then Lu was nowhere to be found, but he didn't expect it to actually fall into the hands of General Cai. ”

Liu Bei's face was suddenly covered with dark clouds, he really didn't understand why Cai Mao would target him so much, could it be that there was something wrong with him before? But Liu Bei dared to say that he had never been to Jingzhou before, and he hadn't even seen Cai Mao's shadow, so how could he have a grudge?

Seeing Liu Bei's expression change, Yi Ji stopped talking and drank the wine alone, but his movements were much slower, and he was careful not to make a sound.

Long.

That's it, it's a big deal!

Liu Bei's face was calm, and he let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly found that Yi Ji was still on the side, and hurriedly said: "Be prepared to lose your mind, wait for the uncle, please forgive me!" ”

"It doesn't matter! Anyone who encounters such a thing will inevitably have a little agitation. ”

Yi Ji waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and then said: "It's just that this horse is unknown after all, if the imperial uncle is unnecessary, it's better not to ride this horse." However, after all, the south does not have to be in the north, if the imperial uncle lacks foot strength, it is better to use the mount first, although it is not a high-class war horse, but it is also a good horse. ”

Liu Bei said gratefully: "But the gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, so it's better to leave it to Ji Bo as a foot force." ”

Yi Ji thought that Liu Bei was embarrassed and was about to persuade him again, but he heard Liu Bei say again: "Uncle Ji doesn't need to say it, although there are no first-class war horses in the army, there are still a lot of ordinary horses. Besides, the legend of Lord Lu is just a legend in the end, how can a mere war horse affect the Dao master? Even if you will, when you meet Allah, I am afraid that you can only honestly do foot strength. ”

Yi Yi heard Liu Bei's strong self-confidence, and ...... So he kept silent.

Yi stayed in Xinye for two days, and after the New Year's Pass, he set off to return to Xiangyang, during which he and Liu Bei talked very happily every day, and slept at night, which can be described as a very good relationship.

Sending off the Yi nationality, Liu Bei recalled the words of the Yi nationality last night-

"He is not a wolf-hearted man, but he has been in the state pastor for many years, according to his origin, the state pastor is not a good person, and it will be difficult for Jingzhou to defend himself. It is necessary to know that there are millions of households in Jingzhou, and there are no less than one million people with armor, even Gongsun Du and Cao Cao are not comparable. ”

At that time, Liu Bei Yizheng rejected the Iraqi nationality with words, but now that I think about it, I am really a little moved, and there are still some ...... Confused~

Today, there are Gongsun Du and Cao Cao in the north, and if you want to profit from the two, it is no less than a moth to a fire; Although Liangzhou is chaotic, there are still Han Sui and Ma Teng, and the cavalry under them is fierce and difficult to intervene; The rest are Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou.

Jiangdong Sun Ce is known as the "overlord", even if he is not as good as the overlord of Chu, but he can call such a name, it is difficult to provoke if he is not a general. Yizhou Liu Yan and Jingzhou Liu Biao are the same clan, how can they bear to take the foundation!

The land of Hanzhong is the land of Gaozu Longxing, but Zhang Lu has been operating for many years, and Liu Yan of Yizhou is not his opponent, he is bare-handed, how can he compare!

Jiaozhou Shixie, a place of poverty, don't talk about it!

"In this way, where is my Liu Bei's place? Could it be that Cao Thief bullied the people of the Liu family like this? ”

Liu Bei thought about this, but walked to the stable, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a tall horse staring at him intently. Take a closer look, it's nothing else, it's Lu, Liu Bei couldn't help but look pale, as if a voice came from the depths of his throat: "What?" Even a brute wants to bully Liu? ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei was about to raise his palm to slap Lu, but he didn't want his palm to be waved out, and Lu Ma lowered his head, so he stretched out his tongue and licked his palm. Liu Bei only felt a torrent passing through his heart: Hey, what is Liu fighting with a brute! Is!

Thinking about it, Liu Bei gently patted Lu's lowered horse's head, and then put fodder on Lu's already empty manger and turned to leave. I didn't want to, my arm suddenly hurt, and I was pulled by someone.

Liu Bei turned around, where is there anyone, isn't it Lu who just fed the forage!

"What do you mean?"

Liu Bei subconsciously asked, and Lu really responded to him. Lu Wensheng, who saw it, looked back twice, and shook his body again.

Liu Bei said thoughtfully: "What do you mean to let Liu try?" ”

"Rare Law~"

Lou barked, then shook his horse's head as a man nodded.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's see who is more unlucky between you, the horse who obstructs the master, and the poor and unlucky person who is prepared!" ”

Subsequently, Liu Bei tied the saddle and other things to Lu, and then led him out of the mansion.
