Ma Zongheng's body stiffened, and the whole person looked stunned, but he knew that Guo Jia was sleeping, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get up again, and his tears could no longer be held back, and he broke out of his eyes, and he was crazy.

And the soldier behind Ma Zongheng had already knelt up with a 'snap', and cried with a low head.

"Who is it!! Who the hell would dare to give that dead drunkard a drink~~!! At this time, there was a sudden roar of Hua Yang, and I saw him rushing in like crazy, but he saw Ma Zongheng, the ghost god on the battlefield, slowly knelt down to Guo Jia, his face was full of tears, and he bowed heavily to Guo Jia.

Hua Yang was simply stupid for a while. But not to mention that Ma Zongheng has now vaguely become the prince with the most powerful power in the world, but he condescended to bow to Guo Jia. It is said that Ma Zongheng is the lord and Guo Jia is the minister, but since ancient times, he has never heard the truth that the lord bows to the minister.

But it is precisely like this, which shows how important Guo Jia's status is in Ma Zongheng's mind!

Hua Yang's legs weakened, so he also knelt down, and the guards outside seemed to have guessed what was happening, and they couldn't help crying and kneeling.

At this point, although Ma Zongheng finally broke Yuan Shao's army in Guangchuan, and captured Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw, and even forced Yuan Shao to death. But in this battle, he lost the most important and respected advisor in his life - the ghost genius Guo Jia!

The Battle of Hirokawa, which would soon shake the world, has finally come to an end. But we might as well go back about half a month.

At this time, in Leling City, Guan Yu was receiving the envoy sent by Tao Qian from Xuzhou.

Seeing that the person who came was about twenty-five or six years old, wearing a gorgeous and neat dress, and with a coquettish demeanor and quite temperament, he knew at a glance that he was a person from a wealthy and noble family. Looking at this person again, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his eyes are sharp, and he looks handsome and chic, even Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant, couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw this person.

And this person is Chen Deng from the Chen family in Xuzhou, Chen Yuanlong is also!

But said that this Chen Yuanlong is hearty, quiet personality, not only resourceful, when he was young, he had the ambition to help the world and help the people, and well-read, knowledgeable, is a famous talent in Xuzhou, and is the young master of the Chen family, its prestige is high, in Xuzhou, it is only second only to Tao Qian, who is known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, so it is deeply used by Tao Qian. Now under Tao Qian, he is appointed as the Taishou of Pi.

"Chen Taishou did not hesitate to put down the affairs of Xiapi and came from a long distance, Guan was really afraid, if he was negligent, he hoped that Chen Taishou would not be surprised." Guan Yu, who was sitting in the high hall, arched his hand. When Chen Deng heard this, he smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Chen has heard that General Guan is terrifying, but when he sees his dignity, he is afraid of three points first. Now that I see it, General Guan is an extraordinary person and majestic in the world, which really makes Chen admire and admire. ”

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he doesn't like other people's flattery, but Chen Deng's sycophant is very skillful, even Guan Yu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard it, he lifted his beautiful hair under his chin, and laughed: "Chen Taishou praises falsely, Guan is just a martial artist, how can Chen Taishou say so majestic." ”

"Hehe, General Guan is really modest, when the tiger prison was closed, General Guan was not afraid of the famous Lu Bu, and over the years, he has repeatedly fought the world's famous generals, even the first fierce general in Hebei, Wen Chou, was defeated by General Guan, this is all based on deeds, how dare Chen talk nonsense." Chen Deng said that, and bowed respectfully, which made Guan Yu overjoyed, and laughed again and again. After a period of greetings, Guan Yu had no intention of making things difficult for Chen Deng, and his shock went straight to the topic: "I don't know if Chen Taishou did not hesitate to come far this time, what is the so-called matter?" But if Guan does his best, he will not push! ”

Chen Deng was obedient, and immediately looked solemn, and said with indignation: "Chen has long heard that Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, and my lord Tao Gong is even more admired. But in recent years, my lord's body has been declining day by day, but the two sons under his knees can be mediocre. It's not a secret, my lord has always had the intention of abdicating to make way for the virtuous, but looking at the talented people in the world, they either want to climb the dragon and attach the lin, or they are ambitious, but there are many heroes in the troubled times, but none of them have the heart to help the world and save the people, and help the Han family. ”

Listening to Chen Deng's words, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help but widen his eyes suddenly, two sharp lights shot out, and he shouted: "Little Confucian, you dare to talk about the heroes of the world in vain, presumptuous!" ”

Chen Deng was suddenly drunk by Guan Yu, his heart trembled, revealing a little shock, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "But there is one person, not only is he a member of the Han family, but also has benevolence, and his prestige has become higher and higher in recent years, and now there is no shortage of brave generals and talents under his command, and there is a bit of the majesty of the ancestors!" Chen had the courage to assert that it was this wise man who could calm the troubled times and save the common people! ”

Guan Yu was obedient, and then his anger gradually faded, and he shouted coldly: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"It is General Guan's brother-in-law, the current imperial uncle of His Majesty, Liu Xuande Gongye!" Chen Deng didn't think about it, and said with a loud voice. Guan Yu couldn't help but look shocked, but he fell silent. Chen Dengna didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to lift his head, and waited patiently for Guan Yu to answer.

After a while, Guan Yu finally reacted, and said with a smile: "Chen Taishou is also a wise man with a lot of vision, but what does this have to do with Tao Gong?" ”

"It's a big matter, if it weren't for General Guan being the emperor's uncle and brother, Chen wouldn't dare to say it lightly, but before that, I also asked General Guan to promise Chen that this matter must not be leaked, otherwise Xuzhou will be in chaos!" Chen Deng raised his head slowly, his eyes were shining, unwavering, and he didn't see him afraid of Guan Yu now.

Guan Yu's expression sank, and said: "Guan Mousheng Zunfeng Xinyi, if Chen Taishou has any doubts, Guan Mou can order your relatives to send you to Youzhou to see my brother-in-law." ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he couldn't help but show a little respect, and said: "General Guan actually said this, how could Chen not believe it, not to mention that Youzhou is in chaos now, and Chen is also in great danger when he comes, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he was proudly silent, but he didn't urge. Chen Deng condensed, and immediately said something coldly, which shocked Guan Yu and couldn't help but get up.

"My lord intends to give Xuzhou to Uncle Huang, and I also ask General Guan to send someone to Uncle Huang as soon as possible, so that Uncle Huang can go to Xuzhou and discuss major matters with my lord!"

Chen Deng's eyes were impressive, and he stood up in shock when he saw Guan Yu, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Guan Yu also quickly sank, knowing that the matter was big, and said to Chen Deng: "Tao Gong values my eldest brother so much, Guan Mou thanked him first." Guan will definitely get through this matter quickly. ”

"Okay, then Chen will go back to Xuzhou and wait for the good news of Uncle Huang." When Chen Deng heard this, he showed a satisfied smile, and was about to retreat. Guan Yu saw that Chen Deng was leaving, and he also appreciated this person's calm and steady behavior, and he wanted to find out more information about Xuzhou from his mouth, so he wanted to stay. Chen Deng politely refused, only saying that Xiapi was busy with affairs, and this time he was afraid that Guan Yu and Liu Bei would not be gullible, so his master did not hesitate to send him to act as this messenger. Guan Yu saw that Chen Deng was determined to go, and he did not force him to stay, so he ordered Zhou Cang to lead his subordinates to escort Chen Deng to the border of Leling and leave safely. Chen Deng refused again, saying that this was too conspicuous, he came with his Chen family's caravan this time, and he was also disguised when he went back, so Guan Yu didn't have to worry.

And just before Chen Deng left, he seemed to remember something important, turned around and bowed to Guan Yu, and said shockingly: "There is one thing, it is inevitable that General Guan and Uncle Huang have misunderstood, and I also ask General Guan not to blame Chen for talking too much." ”

"Chen Taishou might as well say it directly."

"It is said that Xuzhou and Qingzhou are close to each other, and now Qingzhou is led by the Ma family, although the imperial uncle and the Ma family are now allies, but I am afraid that once the wind comes out, the ghost and god of the Ma family will be displeased. Therefore, I also ask General Guan and Uncle Huang to be careful about coming to Xuzhou. ”

As soon as Chen Deng's words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but squint Danfeng's eyes, and two sharp lights shot out, and said coldly: "This matter is about a certain person, so Chen Taishou doesn't have to worry about it." ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he seemed to be taken aback by Guan Yu's suddenly cold tone, and hurriedly agreed, so he withdrew. After Guan Yu saw Chen Deng leaving, his expression couldn't help but sink, and he secretly slandered: "This Chen Deng is here, I don't know if there is another trick or a sincere entrustment." However, Tao Gong has always been benevolent and righteous, and he is not such a traitorous villain, even if there are other cunning thieves secretly instigating him. And even if Tao Gong has the heart to give in, the Ma family is guarding Qingzhou and stopping in front of him, how can this Xuzhou be taken? What's more, Ma and our army are still allied, once our army violates for no reason, it is really untrustworthy! ”

Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help but have a headache.

Not long after, it was said that Chen Deng and his Chen family caravan had just left the city, and one of them asked Chen Deng respectfully: "Young master, should we go back to Xuzhou now?" ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he smiled, shook his head and said, "No, go to Qingzhou Pingshou!" ”

"Heiju!?" The man couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and after exclaiming, he hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered to Chen Deng: "Pingshou City is the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, where there are heavy soldiers of the Ma family, once the news leaks, I am afraid that the young master's life is in danger!" ”

Chen Deng listened, but he smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "The so-called can't get a tiger in a tiger's den?" If you want to succeed, it is imperative to live a long life! However, the Ma family's meticulous work has always been good, you have to be careful, after entering the Qingzhou realm, I divided the caravan into various teams, pretending to be a merchant in various places, and then I have another plan. ”

That man also knew that Chen Deng had always had a lot of plans, so after listening to it, he did not hesitate, and immediately commanded the caravan to act.

So after a few days, I don't know when he broke away from the caravan, and Chen Deng, disguised as a common man, blended into Pingshou City, and now he cleverly avoided Ma's eyes and ears and came to Kongrong's mansion to ask for a meeting.

After a while, in a side room in the Confucian Mansion, Kong Rong rushed in with a hurry on his face, and when he saw Chen Deng take off his straw hat, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Haha~!! Sure enough, it's Brother Yuanlong!! ”

"Master Kong hasn't seen him for a long time, but his demeanor is still the same, and he is polite." Chen Deng also laughed brightly and bowed respectfully. It turned out that although Chen Deng and Kong Rong were quite different in age, they were very good friends in private, and the two often exchanged letters, but most of the things they talked about were about Confucian etiquette.

"Yuanlong, sit down, you and I haven't seen you for a long time, this time you are here, I must do my best to greet the landlord!" Kong Rong hurried to Chen Deng's side and was about to ask him to sit down. Chen Deng's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly straightened his face and said: "It seems that Master Kong has long been accustomed to sending people under the fence and enjoying happiness in peace, so I have taken a trip in vain." ”

After that, Chen Deng was about to leave, Kong Rong's expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Chen Deng's sleeve, and said with a little anger: "Chen Yuanlong, what do you mean by this!?" ”

"Dare to ask Master Kong, who is the world now!?" Unbeknownst to him, Chen Deng also reacted heavily, shook off Kong Rong, and asked angrily. Kong Rong was startled, his face couldn't help but change, and he even didn't dare to look directly at Chen Deng's impressive eyes, and said: "This Han family is still there, and it is the world of the Liu family!" ”

"And who are you!?" Chen Deng took a step, and although he didn't answer, the sound was like thunder, and Kong Rong's heart was shocked.
