With a common enemy, Chen Yu and Zong Cheng said that they were "speculative", and they had the feeling of traveling together in Luoyi in a trance. Zong Cheng bought wine, talked with Chen Yu about the year, the eyebrows danced in the excitement, the wind laughed, and the sigh was sighed.

"Since Guo Linzong's death, this world has really become more and more dilapidated." Zong Cheng stopped his cup and sighed. "If the gentlemen are here, why is the morality of the people's hearts like this."

Chen Yu put down the wine glass and said, "Fengxi Fengxi, what is the decline of virtue?" The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. Brother Shilin, reluctantly, reluctantly. ”

Zong Cheng smiled bitterly. "Gongwei, I'm old and can't fly, I can only watch you soar into the sky." As he spoke, he gave Lou Gui a look. He didn't want to look at Chen Yu's smug face at all, but because of the situation, he had to make a false accusation. After talking for a long time, he was tired and just wanted to end it early.

Lou Gui has been drinking with him. Zong Cheng and Chen Yu talked, he basically didn't interject, like a waiter, he was also very uncomfortable. But he also knew that Yuan Shu's death was not necessarily a bad thing for Chen Yu, but a good thing. With soldiers in hand, he can stand on his own or take refuge in another Yuan disciple. Unlike him, Lou Gui, who is in a dilemma, he is not a person inside and out.

Seeing Zong Cheng give him a look, he hurriedly got up, added a glass of wine to Chen Yu, and said with a smile: "General Chen's high-minded argument made Lou Gui suddenly open, and they hated to meet late." If I could have been instructed by General Chen a few days earlier, why would I be today? ”

Chen Yu was drunk, glanced at Lou Gui, and said jokingly: "I also regret that if General Yuan first arrived in Wancheng, Uncle Zi was so attentive, why wait until today." ”

Lou Gui was embarrassed, but he could only pretend to be happy and convinced. "General Chen's advice is right. But it's not Lou Gui, I'm alone. So many wise men and gentlemen in Wancheng are wrong, how can Lou Gui be spared. General Chen, although you and I are happy to drink here, the princes of Wancheng are still being scolded and humiliated by the officials in the county prison. General Chen, look at ......"

Chen Yu laughed, staggered to his feet, and raised his sleeves.

"It's good! That's it for today, and I'm going to take you to the county jail. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will drink with you again. ”

Zong Cheng was relieved and politely said a few words. Chen Yu said goodbye, took Lou Gui out of the sect mansion together, and walked towards the inner city under the protection of several retinues. When he and Zong Cheng were drinking, his attendants also enjoyed Zong Cheng's hospitality and gifts, and they were satisfied, talking and laughing loudly one by one, as if no one was around. When he came to the east gate of the inner city, the city gate was closed, and Chen Yu was displeased, so he stepped forward to call the door.

Deng Zhan poked his head out of the city, glanced at it through the light, and was about to retreat, when he caught a glimpse of Lou Gui, he put down his raised hand again, got off the road, and came to the city gate, through the crack in the door, and shouted: "Who is outside the door?" ”

Chen Yu saw that the city gate was not opened, and he was already unhappy in his heart, and when he heard Deng Zhan's voice, he shouted and reprimanded. "Deng Ziyi, I went into the city to pay tribute to General Yuan, what is your intention by closing the door?"

Deng Zhan was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded loudly: "General Chen, General Sun has an order, those who worship General Yuan will enter from the north gate of the inner city, and he will not be allowed to enter." Hearing the general's voice, he must have just woken up, and it was unceremonious and undignified to go to pay tribute to General Yuan at this time. General Chen is asked to return to the camp for the time being, and it is not too late to come back tomorrow when he sobers up. ”

Chen Yu was furious. "Deng Zhan, do you dare to stop me from sacrificing General Yuan?"

"Don't dare, Deng Zhan is also thinking about General Chen, please General Chen Mingjian."

Chen Yu's eyes widened, and he was about to step forward, but Lou Gui hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him. Deng Zhan listened, and deliberately said loudly: "It's Lou Zibo who is talking outside? ”

Lou Gui's heart moved, and he hurriedly signaled Chen Yu to be calm, ran to the city gate by himself, separated the city gate from Deng Zhan, and whispered: "Deng Ziyi, I'm Lou Gui, can you make it convenient and open the door?" ”

Deng Zhan was unmoved, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lou, I have recommended you to General Sun, General Sun is still considering, at this time, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, don't make mistakes again and again." ”

A warm current surged through Lou Gui's heart. At this time, Deng Zhan could still recommend him to Sun Ce, which was really righteous. But when he thought of Chen Yu and Zong Cheng's conspiracy, and thought that Sun Ce would soon be driven out of Nanyang, and might even die, he couldn't accept Deng Zhan's kindness. He thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Thank you Ziyi for your kindness, thank you for your kindness, and you will live up to Ziyi in the future." Ziyi, wouldn't it be better for you to make it convenient for me to go in and meet the monarchs in the county prison and persuade them to cooperate with General Sun? ”

Deng Zhan chuckled in his heart. He and Lou Gui have known each other for many years, so he can naturally hear Lou Gui's reminder. He wanted to go to the county prison, and when he saw Wancheng Haoqiang who was imprisoned, how could he persuade them to cooperate with Sun Ce, this was obviously a conspiracy. He said loudly, "General Chen, please go back." General Sun has an order, General Yuan is newly mourned, and the whole city is under martial law, and I dare not disobey. If there is a penalty for offense, he will ask General Chen for his guilt in the future. ”

Chen Yu was turned away, lost face, and scolded angrily, but he had no choice but to turn his horse back to the camp. His camp was outside the north gate, and it was four miles away to pass through the entire Wancheng. Along the way, even if he had drunk a lot, he noticed that something was wrong. There were a lot of soldiers in the city, and there were people patrolling almost every street corner, and all of them were soldiers from Zhou Yu's camp.

When did Zhou Yu take over Wancheng?

The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and all the wine he drank turned into cold sweat and came out of his body. He did not dare to slack off, quickened his pace, hurried out of the city, and returned to his camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Huang Yi sitting in the tent, reading a book.

Chen Yu was stunned, frightened. How did Huang Yi end up here? They haven't had much contact with each other.

Hearing the footsteps, Huang Yi raised his head, saw Chen Yu standing there stupidly, hurriedly got up to greet him, approached, smelled a smell of wine, and couldn't help laughing: "General Chen, do you still have the heart to drink at this time?" ”

Chen Yu had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard Huang Yi's words, he thought that the conspiracy had been exposed, and subconsciously reached out and drew his knife. Huang Yi was startled, and hurriedly said, "General Chen, what do you mean by this?" I'm here to discuss matters with you. ”

Chen Yu circled Huang Yi twice. "Big deal? What's the big deal? ”

Huang Yi was also frightened, and he didn't dare to go around in circles, and told Sun Ce that he intended to arrange for Chen Yu to go to Wuguan to reinforce Qiaorui, and that he would supervise the army. When Chen Yu heard this, he suddenly felt a sneer in his heart. Sun Bofu, if you want to transfer me out of Wancheng, you really want to be beautiful, it's okay for you to be careful to deceive others, it's too far to deceive me. Wuguan is naturally going to go, but not on your orders. Wait for me to unite with the Nanyang family, kill you, and become the lord of Jingzhou, and then go west to Wuguan and compete with Xu Rong.

"Really?" Chen Yu smiled. "Huang Zimei, I also have this intention. In this way, it's not early, you go back first, early tomorrow morning, when I enter the city to worship General Yuan, and then we will set off together, how about it? ”

Huang Yi looked at Chen Yu twice and said goodbye.
