Chapter 348: The Good Show Begins
Liu Bei took a deep breath, rolled up the door curtain, and strode into the tent.
As soon as I entered it, all eyes looked at it in unison. Liu Bei has been fighting for many years, and he has experienced all kinds of occasions, and his mentality is stable, so he came to the main seat of the big tent and sat down.
"Everyone, sit down!"
The tone was solemn, revealing a faint majesty.
For a time, the people in the tent were bluffed.
Liu Bei shook his sleeves and said calmly: "Your affairs, this official already knows. Wang Lei asked the official to apologize, and he immediately released all the prisoners, this condition The official has thought about it, it's not a difficult thing, just apologize. However, once the official publicly apologizes, it is unknown whether Wang Lei is willing to release the captives. ”
"My lord, how do you know if you don't give it a try?"
"Lord Liu is kind-hearted and regards the people as brothers and relatives. Now that his brothers and relatives have been arrested, can Lord Liu bear to watch them suffer outside? Please apologize to Lord Liu and save the people who were captured by Wang Lei. ”
"Lord Liu, the three generations of the Xia family have been passed down alone, and there is only one single seedling left. If there is a half-point difference, the bloodline of the Xia family will be cut off in my injury, please help me with Lord Liu, I can't sit idly by." ”
Everyone present was extremely shrewd and persuaded Liu Bei to apologize to Wang Lei.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Liu Bei immediately stopped talking.
noisy, getting louder; emotions, increasingly uncontrolled......
"Shhhh Hush!! ”
Suddenly, someone senses that something is wrong, and everyone is silenced. At this moment, the noisy and noisy sound news, the camp tent instantly quieted down again, and a pair of eyes fell on Liu Bei's body again. Liu Bei regained the initiative and said, "You have come to this official to solve the problem of the captured relatives. The official didn't say he wouldn't help, so what are you anxious about? ”
"Great, Lord Liu is willing to apologize and help us rescue the captives, what a good person!"
In the silent tent, a loud voice suddenly sounded.
This voice made the corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitch, and there was a touch of fierceness in his soft eyes. Liu Bei wanted to stabilize the situation that was out of control, but the sudden voice broke the atmosphere he was brewing.
After all, Liu Bei is an experienced person, adjusted his form, and continued: "I don't know which villager spoke just now, but I agree with his point of view. I am willing to help you save your loved ones, please rest assured. ”
"Okay, good, Lord Liu is really a good person."
The abrupt voice sounded again.
Although it was a boastful remark, Liu Bei heard it in his ears, but he felt extremely harsh.
This time, Liu Bei looked at it clearly.
The person who speaks is thin, of medium stature, with small eyes and a large nose, giving a lean feeling. Liu Bei stared at the big nose and didn't blink. The two looked at each other, and finally the big nose was defeated, and after the big nose looked away, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth hooked, and said: "This official is willing to help you, but do you know what Wang Lei's purpose is to arrest people?" ”
"I don't know!"
The big nose looked up again and replied enthusiastically.
This time, Liu Bei was very pleased.
Liu Bei opened his mouth to ask, he needed someone to respond, he smiled slightly, and said: "Wang Lei arrested your relatives, what is his purpose?" In my opinion, Wang Lei is using your relatives as a talisman. The official's army has already laid an encirclement and surrounded Wang Lei's army. Wang Lei despicably captured the hostages in order to let me throw a rat trap, and wanted to threaten the official. ”
"My lord, since this is the case, you hurry up and open the encirclement and let Wang Lei leave."
In the crowd, Big Nose said positively.
Liu Bei nodded and said, "In order to stabilize Wang Lei, this official will open the encirclement and let Wang Lei leave Runan." But the apology cannot be implemented for the time being. ”
"Think about it carefully, Wang Lei is still in Runan, as long as Wang Lei does not leave Runan for a day, it is impossible to release the arrested people. At this time, I took the initiative to apologize, Wang Lei couldn't help but express it, but Wang Lei couldn't let go of the hostages, so he would definitely make more demanding requests. When the time comes, it will be more difficult for you to do, and it will complicate things. ”
Liu Bei smiled and said, "The current way is to delay time, and I will take the opportunity to open the encirclement and let Wang Lei leave." After Wang Lei breaks out of the encirclement, the hostages will be released, and your relatives will be safe. ”
"Your Excellency has a point!"
After hearing this, the patriarchs of the various clans below nodded again and again.
It's just that some people are beating drums in their hearts.
Are Liu Bei's words reliable? And Liu Bei is an official, so they can't influence Liu Bei, so they have to accept it.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Finally, I have temporarily stabilized the person in front of me, and I can relax for a while." "Liu Bei naturally knew that Wang Lei didn't take the prisoner as a hostage, because it was easy for Wang Lei to leave Runan, but Wang Lei didn't plan to leave."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "You have come from afar, this official will set up a banquet in the camp to catch you and wash the dust, and after a night's rest, I will send you away tomorrow." As soon as there is good news, we will inform you as soon as possible. ”
"Lord Liu is really kind-hearted, and Lord Liu is in charge of Runan, which is our blessing."
The big nose opened in agreement, and the smile in his eyes was thick.
Liu Bei asked people to prepare a banquet and set up a banquet in the camp to catch the wind and wash the dust for the people who came. There were twenty or thirty people who came to the camp, and Liu Bei prepared a big tent to accommodate everyone inside. After washing, the wine has passed three rounds, the dishes have passed five flavors, and the atmosphere has become more and more warm. With Liu Bei as his companion, coupled with Liu Bei's deliberate appeasement of the people in each town, and the patriarchs of each town also wanted to slap Liu Bei, both sides were very enthusiastic.
In the end, they were all drunk and unconscious.
Liu Bei asked the soldiers to send all the people back to the camp tent to rest, then sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.
……
The night was as cool as water, the moonlight was bright, and the tent was hazy.
"Babble!!"
A slight sound was heard, and suddenly a person in the lying crowd rolled over and sat up. This person is not tall and thin, if you use the light, you can identify it as a big nose singing against Liu Bei during the day.
When he got up, three more men got up from the rest of the place, and the four gathered together. Big Nose lowered his head and whispered, "It's late at night, everyone who came is drunk and asleep, it's time for us to act." ”
"Yes!"
The three of them nodded and whispered together.
Soon, the plan was decided, the big nose rubbed his eyes, got up and walked out.
At the door of the tent, two soldiers were keeping vigil.
Seeing this, one of the soldiers stretched out his hand to stop him: "It is forbidden to move around in the camp!" ”
The big nose was drunk, and said with a smile: "Two brothers, I'm really sorry." Because I drank too much during the day, some people threw up and fell to the ground, and I couldn't do it alone. How about you two leave one person behind and one person come in and help me? ”
"Ju Kui, I'm standing guard outside, you kid go and help."
The soldier standing on the left side of the camp tent didn't think about it, and directly pushed the soldier on the right to do things. The thought of the smell of vomiting in the camp made the soldier's stomach churn. The judge is a new recruit, so he has to follow the big nose inside.
Entering the tent, the chief examiner looked left and right.
Seeing no drunken people, the judge asked, "What about people?" Where is it? ”
The big nose pointed to the left corner of the tent and said, "Brother, look over there, over there, that position......" He pointed to the position, so that the spirit of the judge was concentrated in the front.
At this moment, Big Nose suddenly moved from behind.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the big nose covered the judge's mouth and twisted the judge's neck. With a click, the neck of the judge was twisted, and he lost his breath in an instant.
