Chapter 396: True Face
Liu Bei was shocked, Mi Zhu was shocked, Sun Qian was shocked, and the guests present were all shocked and changed.
Liu Bei was so angry that his face was distorted, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, he never expected that Su Zhe would send cavalry to rob his bride!
Mi Zhu was also shocked, and he never dreamed that his sister would be robbed by Su Zhe on the way to send off his relatives.
The dream of the marriage of the two families is shattered!
"Didn't Chen Deng say that the Su thief had returned to Xiapi, how could he send cavalry to rob the master's mother?" Sun Qian asked in surprise, looking incredulous.
Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and he suddenly realized, his face instantly swelled with endless anger, and he said hatefully: "What else can it be, that Chen Deng is clearly lying, he deliberately wants us to think that Su Zhe is returning to his master, so that we can relax our vigilance, so that Su Zhe can take the opportunity to do such a shameless thing!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Guan Yu also suddenly woke up and scolded: "What a Chen Deng, he is really a shameless and untrustworthy dog thief, if I catch him, I will break him into pieces!" ”
At this time, Mi Zhu also woke up from the shock, but sighed: "Although Chen Deng is treacherous, he may not be able to come up with such a plan, this is most likely Su Zhe's trick, and we were all tricked by the head of the Nine Wonders." ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but be deeply shocked by Su Zhe's resourcefulness, and they all revealed deep jealousy and fear.
Liu Bei's face sank, and he glared at Mi Zhu secretly.
Because, from Mi Zhu's words, he heard a certain admiration for Su Zhe, which couldn't help but make him a little vigilant.
After all, now that Mi Zhen was robbed by Su Zhe, his dream of marrying the Mi family was ruined, and at such a delicate moment, he had to wonder if Mi Zhu would give up on him because of this and take refuge in Su Zhe instead.
At this time, Guan Yu stood up and said resolutely: "Please give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will desperately chase my sister-in-law back!" ”
Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and for a moment, he almost agreed to Guan Yu's invitation.
A few seconds later, he took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the slightest impulse.
"The Su thief is a cavalry, and our army is mostly an infantry army, how can we catch up, not to mention that the enemy may have fled to the point where he disappeared by now, Yun Chang, where are you going to chase it?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically in a deep voice.
Guan Yu was speechless, and he had an empty stomach of fire, so he could only swallow it forcibly.
Mi Zhu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the little sister was robbed by the Su thief, and she has to chase it no matter what, maybe there is a chance to recover it." ”
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Since the Su thief was planned, if he calculates that we will send troops to pursue him, what if he sets up an ambush on the way?" ”
Mi Zhu was also refuted, and was speechless for a while.
Liu Bei shouted: "Come on, pass the order, and quickly strengthen the vigilance of Qu County, in case the Su thieves cheat and take the opportunity to attack the city." ”
When the order was laid, the generals had to follow, and the guests who stayed in the house also sighed and dispersed.
Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said again: "Lord, don't you really plan to chase it?" That's your bride, my sister. ”
Liu Bei had a bitter face, and was embarrassed: "Zhongde, I understand your feelings, I also want to chase Zhen'er back, but we have few soldiers, if we go to pursue the ambush of the Su thieves, won't we lose thousands of valuable soldiers in vain, and we can't afford this loss." ”
Mi Zhu looked shocked, with deep disappointment in his eyes, and looked at Liu Bei in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Liu Bei was such a kind person.
It's as if he's looking away.
Disappointed, Mi Zhu said loudly: "The lord's words are wrong, my Mi family has sacrificed thousands of soldiers and horses for the lord, but the lord is unwilling to save my little sister for fear of losing the soldiers and horses, what is the reason?" ”
Liu Bei's words were sluggish, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
Guan Yu was already furious, pointed at Mi Zhu and shouted: "Mi Zizhong, you are so bold, what do you mean by this, are you asking for credit from the eldest brother and persecuting the eldest brother to fail?" ”
Guan Yudao had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and the murderous intent surged up on his bare face, as if he might kill Mi Zhu at any time.
A deep chill swelled up on the soles of Mi Zhu's feet, and he shivered, and the complaints that had surged into his throat had to be forcibly swallowed.
Liu Bei's expression softened, patted Mi Zhu's shoulder, and said with a bitter face: "Zizhong, it's not that I'm unwilling to sacrifice people to save Ling Mei, I'm just unwilling to make senseless sacrifices, we can't act rashly because of impulse, you should understand this truth." ”
"I understand, I understand." Mi Zhu nodded bitterly and helplessly, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Liu Bei saw that he was still dissatisfied, so he said solemnly: "Zizhong, don't worry, I, Liu Bei, swear here, I will do everything possible to take Ling Mei back from the Su thief, although it is not now, I will definitely save him." ”
Guan Yu looked at Mi Zhu coldly, waiting for him to make a statement.
Mi Zhu can see that he is two brothers, one is singing white face, the other is singing black face, what else can he do.
In desperation, Mi Zhu had no choice but to put away the resentment on his face and arched his hand: "Zhu believes in the lord, and everything is arranged by the lord." ”
Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, good, Zizhong really understands the righteousness, you can quickly transfer another 100,000 grains and grass to Qu County, I am only afraid that the Su thief will soon go and return, and if Qu County is besieged at that time, the more abundant the grain and grass, the better." ”
Mi Zhu felt nauseous for a while, thinking that his sister was robbed, if you don't save it, it is just shameless, and he has the face to ask him for food and grass, which is really shameless.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll arrange it." ”
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction.
An originally joyful wedding broke up unhappily.
……
Tancheng.
Thousands of Soviet soldiers have gone and returned, and are re-entering Tancheng.
A few days ago, after Su Zhe sent Gao Shun to lead the cavalry to Qu County, he no longer pretended to retreat, and the army simply turned back to Tancheng.
Ascending Tancheng, looking into the distance, it seems to vaguely see dust flying, as if there are soldiers and horses galloping forward.
"Is Gao Shun back, so fast." Su Zhe praised it, and his eyes swelled with a smile of expectation.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report, saying that Chen Deng had hurried to Tancheng and was asking to see him below.
Su Zhe and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, and then passed the warrant to Chen Deng.
A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded, and Chen Deng climbed up to the top of the city panting, sweating in a hurry.
Su Zheqi said: "Didn't I tell Yuanlong to prepare grain and grass along the way, why did you come back again, and you were still in such a hurry?" ”
Chen Deng gasped and said: "Didn't the lord say that he would withdraw his troops back to Xiapi, why did he suddenly return to Tancheng in the middle of the road, and his subordinates were puzzled when they learned the news, so they hurried back to ask the lord for clarification." ”
"Chen Yuanlong, you really don't know why? Or are you pretending to be confused? A sarcastic sneer appeared on Su Zhe's face.
