Chapter 214: Safe Return
Liu Bei, who was originally tossing and turning, was suddenly startled when he heard the movement outside.
Although he didn't show it too directly, he was listening attentively, and it seemed that the next door was the place where Sima Hui was meeting guests.
Liu Bei's thoughts turned, and he was curious:
"Who is here at such a late hour?"
Although this is not a deep mountain and old forest, it is not a particularly rich and prosperous place in comparison.
Liu Bei can be sure that since he has come here, most of them are acquaintances of Sima Hui. In fact, Liu Bei didn't really want to eavesdrop, but his heart was really agitated and uneasy at the moment.
Liu Bei is ambitious.
After listening to Sima Hui's introduction to the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, he felt more and more uneasy. It's an unbelievable feeling, but it's okay to think about it.
After all, he has experienced many twists and turns over the years, and his thirst for talents has reached a very high level.
Liu Bei thought more than once that if he had a group of strategists like Cao Cao under his command, I am afraid that he would not have ended up where he is now.
At this point, Liu Bei undoubtedly felt that he was a loser.
Because of this clear understanding, Liu Bei naturally wanted to change this situation. Coupled with the image of a master that Sima Hui had just established, Liu Bei was also very curious about the people who came at this moment.
And just like that, the conversation started next door.
Sima Hui looked at the young man, also a little curious, and asked:
"Why are you here today?"
The young man nodded, and said:
"I recently traveled to Jingzhou, and I happened to pass through here, so I wanted to come to visit Mr., Mr. should not dislike it."
Sima Hui chuckled when he heard this, pursed his lips and said:
"Since you want to come, then let's come, how can the old man dislike it, it's just that it's so late, it's really a bit surprising. But the old man heard that you seem to want to be a leader now. ”
The young man could not deny it, and Masase said:
"What the gentleman said is true, I do have this idea, but I don't know where to invest now. In this land of Jingzhou, if Cao Cao's soldiers attacked, it was only a matter of time before Liu Biao fell. ”
Sima Hui couldn't help but brush his beard and said with emotion:
"That's right, those who can understand the world now, I'm afraid they all know that Liu Biao no longer has the power to return to heaven. But have you ever thought about Liu Yuzhou in Xinye, this person may be a good choice. ”
Suddenly hearing his name, Liu Bei was also a little confused, but he immediately showed joy on his face.
Although the name of the person who came was not mentioned in the conversation outside, Liu Bei noticed that this person was extraordinary.
Could it be that this is the so-called Wolong and Phoenix Chicks?
Sima Hui didn't say it clearly, and Liu Bei naturally didn't know the specifics, so he could only make some guesses by himself.
Although he was excited, Liu Bei still forced himself to settle down and listened carefully to the conversation next door.
Even if he didn't see the appearance of the person with his own eyes, Liu Bei could still feel that this person was not ordinary.
The tone of voice alone is extraordinary.
To be precise, there seems to be an indescribable self-confidence in it.
Maybe that's the master.
Liu Bei held his breath, and the conversation continued next door.
Hearing Sima Hui's words, the young man nodded slightly, and replied:
"Mr. guessed well, I really want to see this Uncle Liuhuang, but now is not the time. You have to get to know this person well, otherwise it will be too reckless and difficult to succeed. ”
In fact, Liu Bei really wants to shout, don't think too much, he Liu Bei is here, you can have a deeper understanding......
But this is clearly immoral.
Since this person said this, he must have his own considerations, and if he did this, he would be too anxious.
Coupled with the fact that he was asleep, but he eavesdropped on the conversation next door, it was even more problematic in his image.
Therefore, Liu Bei could only endure the excitement in his heart.
I really can't do it, I can only ask about the situation tomorrow, this Mr. Sima seems to be able to talk.
The conversation continued, but not for long, and ended quickly.
Liu Bei also felt tiredness welling up in his heart at this moment, and he fell asleep.
Looking back, it's the second day.
As soon as Liu Bei opened his eyes, he remembered what happened yesterday and suddenly became energetic. After washing up a little, he went to find Sima Hui, and he did have a lot of questions.
Seeing that Liu Bei came over, Sima Hui didn't feel strange.
Liu Bei brushed his thoughts a little and said:
"Yesterday, I didn't fall asleep, and I heard someone coming here by chance, it seems that he is not a mortal, I don't know if Mr. can tell me his name."
Sima Hui glanced at him and said with a smile:
"What does Liu Yuzhou think?"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly, and then hesitated:
"Isn't this person what Mr. said, this sleeping dragon and phoenix?"
However, Sima Hui shook his head decisively and replied:
"No, no, this person is not a sleeping dragon and phoenix, but it has something to do with it. If the time comes, maybe Liu Yuzhou will meet this person soon, so there is no need to be curious. ”
Having said that, Sima Hui's way of speaking, always saying that half of it is hidden and half is half-hidden, which really makes people's hearts surge, and Liu Bei's good temper feels a little up.
However, Liu Bei's heart was still very strong, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and arched his hand:
"I understand, then thank you Mr. for entertaining, this time I came in a hurry, I'm afraid that my brother will be flustered, so I have to say goodbye first, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to visit again."
Sima Hui didn't care, and replied calmly:
"The old man can also see that Liu Yuzhou is indeed very human, so I would like to remind you that some things are urgent, and when the time comes, they will naturally be sent to the door."
These words are really strange, and they have a bit of a god's temperament.
But Liu Bei thought so, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, sir, Liu Bei will leave first."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei rode away.
What he said just now was also the truth, he was in a hurry, and he was chased and killed by Cai Mao, and it is estimated that Zhao Yun must be in a hurry.
Since Zhao Yun is in a hurry, he will definitely return to Xinye.
If the two brothers of their own family are on the top and really do something, it will be too troublesome.
After all, Liu Bei is not sure whether there is a sign from Liu Biao in this matter, all in all, Liu Bei is very annoyed now.
If there is really Liu Biao here, he doesn't really want to leave, but he needs to make other preparations.
Although Liu Bei has always been a good person, this does not mean that Liu Bei has no other thoughts. It's just that he never shows it, and he is indeed an honest man in the eyes of outsiders.
But just because of this, it must be a mistake to treat Liu Bei as a bad person. After all, it is definitely impossible to get from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present.
If it's just an honest person, I'm afraid I'll die a miserable death.
But to tell the truth, to be able to maintain the image of an honest person, Liu Bei is indeed worthy of the word benevolence.
Many people think that Liu Bei is a hypocrite, but Liu Bei does not show any too hypocritical actions. It's more just the speculation of others, and there is no evidence in the strict sense.
Even though Liu Bei has bad points, he is only a few.
This is like the so-called battle between good and evil, there must be bad people in the righteous, and there must be good people in the villains. But this does not mean that decency is a villain, villains are all decent.
When a rule is recognized by all, then compliance with the rule must belong to the public. It is called decency, and they act in one rule.
After all, rules are meant to protect the weak.
If it is strong, how can it be protected by rules, these are originally used to restrict the strong.
But if a certain party recklessly violates the rules, even if it is not a bad person, it may not be a good person.
Even if they are in the middle of decency, if they also violate the rules, strictly speaking, they are actually separated from the decency, and this kind of thing is not completely certain in the first place.
So, in other words, Liu Bei is indeed a good person in this era.
Because of this, even though Liu Bei has overturned many times, there are still many people who follow him.
Even under Liu Bei's rule, the people were very concentric.
I won't mention that for now.
Liu Bei asked for the way, and then rode his horse forward.
He must return to Shinno as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if an accident happens, I'm afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life.
After all, for him, his brother is also very important, and other things are not mentioned for the time being.
Just said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have followed Liu Bei for so many years, they must have feelings, how can they give up easily.
Coupled with the oath their brother had made at the beginning, some things were naturally even more indestructible.
Now.
In the castle of Shinno.
Zhao Yun also arrived in Tanxi yesterday, but he didn't find Liu Bei, anyway, he was nowhere to be seen.
This is similar to what Cai Mao said.
It's just that he didn't see Liu Bei, how could Zhao Yun rest assured.
Thinking of Liu Bei's trust before, he felt more and more annoyed, all because of his own problems, he didn't notice the departure of the lord, and he didn't know what the situation was now.
If the lord really had an accident, he could only apologize with death.
Under Zhao Yun's thoughts, he did not delay too long in Xiangyang, but said goodbye to Liu Biao as soon as possible and returned to Xinye.
Now that the lord is gone, he naturally has to discuss with Guan Yu and them now.
Although everyone is a military general, Guan Yu, as Liu Bei's brother, naturally has a higher status.
Although it doesn't usually come out, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Zhao Yun returned to Xinye and informed the two of them of the news that night.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this, they were indeed very anxious.
Zhang Fei, in particular, was indeed a little upset, and shouted:
"It must be that Liu Biao who wants to harm my eldest brother, second brother, don't stop me again, I will take Xiangyang City ...... today"
Looking at Zhang Fei's angry bragging, Guan Yu's eyes were slightly condensed, but he was in thought.
Although he is also a fierce general, there is still a difference between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he is relatively calm at the moment.
Although Guan Yu is arrogant, it doesn't mean that he can't analyze the situation, and the current situation is not good for them.
And with the current strength of Xinye, it is almost a fool's dream to take Xiangyang, where tens of thousands of troops are stationed.
Guan Yu clearly knew this, because he had no impulse.
After all, Liu Bei's situation has not yet been determined, if they are impulsive, and Liu Bei comes back, wouldn't they be embarrassed?
Therefore, Guan Yu said in a deep voice:
"Third brother, don't worry for the time being, now that the eldest brother doesn't know the situation, let's send someone to find it first. If there is a real problem, it is not too late for you and me to start a war, I just hope that it will not be like this......"
Guan Yu didn't want this to happen.
Zhang Fei was stunned, but still chose to be obedient, nodded and said:
"If the eldest brother really has an accident, even if I, Zhang Fei, risk this life, I will slaughter Cai Mao's dog head."
Guan Yu nodded and said:
"It's okay, the second brother will also help you."
Zhao Yun's expression was a little depressed, and he said:
"It's because I'm not well guarded, if I could stay by the lord's side, this wouldn't have happened. Now the life and death of the lord is uncertain, if something really goes wrong, Yun should apologize with death. ”
Although Zhao Yun didn't follow Liu Bei from the beginning, he was also an old friend with them.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Fei first said:
"Zilong doesn't have to be like this, presumably they arranged you outside, and they thought of it. After all, it's a thief's calculation, and it's normal that you and I can't be on guard, and then you and I will kill the enemy together. ”
Guan Yu pursed his lips, shook his head and said:
"Brother hasn't had an accident yet, what do you want to do so much?"
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were dumbfounded.
However, they did not delay the time, but sent people out overnight to look for it.
Look back.
Liu Bei walked along the road and finally saw a familiar figure.
It turned out that Zhao Yun and the three of them were looking for it in three directions, but at this moment Liu Bei met Zhao Yun again.
Seeing Zhao Yun from a distance, Liu Bei was suddenly a little excited, and shouted:
"Zilong, I'm here."
Hearing this voice, Zhao Yun was also a little confused.
After all, he was really tired, from following Liu Bei to Xiangyang yesterday, to looking for it all night.
It can be said that Zhao Yun worked all day.
It was Zhao Yun at this moment, and the whole thing looked a little confused.
However, their physical fitness is indeed excellent, so Zhao Yun quickly eased up, he looked at Liu Bei, couldn't help but show joy, and said:
"Lord, it's good that you're okay."
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, he slept very comfortably yesterday, after all, he was tired from running yesterday and slept very deeply.
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun and saw that he was not injured or anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:
"Zilong, this night, there was nothing wrong with Xinye, right?"
Zhao Yun understood what Liu Bei meant, and hurriedly replied:
"Don't worry, the lord is all right in Xinye yesterday, and the second and third generals are now leading people to find the lord. But where did the lord go yesterday, and why did the clouds disappear? ”
Liu Bei sighed when he heard this, although he didn't hide it, he said:
"Don't worry about this first, you go and get Yun Chang and Yide back, and wait until you get back to Xinye."
This is Liu Bei's order, and Zhao Yun naturally will not disobey it.
It was the soldiers and horses he directly brought to guard Liu Bei, but he took a few people to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back.
Anyway, although the night was restless, Liu Bei returned safely, which was also a great thing.
Don't worry too much.
