Chapter 145: The Jade Lion of the Night
Jingzhou, Liu Biao's mansion.
Xu Zisheng actually appeared here, and sat on the left and right seats of Liu Biao with Liu Bei.
After the singer finished dancing, Liu Biao picked up the wine cup and saluted Xu Zisheng, Xu Zisheng also picked up the wine and saluted back, the two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the cup.
"Mr. Xu came in person, why didn't he inform Jingsheng earlier, it's really a sin to miss the welcome." Liu Biao grinned.
"How dare you bother to greet your lord?"
Xu Zisheng looked at Liu Biao with clear eyes, and then said without hesitation: "This time I came, I really have something to discuss. ”
"Oh?"
With his eyes flickering, Liu Biao asked curiously: "I really don't know what Mr. Xu, who owns Chang'an, can discuss with me." ”
"I don't know, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, is Lord Taishou interested?"
Hearing this, Liu Biao's hand holding the wine cup suddenly stopped in the air, and his eyes shone with a sharp edge.
"Xu Zisheng."
Liu Bei took the case, glared at Xu Zisheng angrily and shouted: "You and Dong Zhuo are really the same dog, vainly trying to subvert the imperial power and control the world, this crime should be punished." ”
"Foolish."
chuckled, Xu Zisheng didn't care, but looked at Liu Biao with a smile and said, "Lord Taishou, is this place what Liu Xuande said?" Then I'll have to apologize and admit my mistake. ”
"Xuande, you should step back first."
With a gloomy face, how could Liu Biao not hear what Xu Zisheng meant, so he had to let Liu Bei leave first.
"Brother Jingsheng."
Liu Bei clenched his fists and said with a lament: "This is a great rebellion, and you must not participate in it." ”
"Bang."
The wine cup instantly smashed on Liu Bei's forehead, almost knocking him unconscious, Liu Biao had already gotten up, and shouted angrily: "If it weren't for the sake of the same clan, where would you be able to sit with me here, and now you actually teach me how to behave, it's just a hubble!" ”
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."
Liu Bei covered the bloody wound on his forehead, looked up to the sky and laughed, "If you act for the tiger, you will one day suffer the consequences!" ”
After speaking, Liu Bei laughed and left, but there was a trace of sadness in his laughter.
When Liu Bei left, Liu Biao sat down again, returned to his hypocritical appearance, and said with a smile: "It made Mr. Xu smile." ”
"It's fine."
Xu Zisheng is still Gu Bo's unfazed appearance, as if nothing can shock the waves in his heart.
"Mr. Xu is really a master with big ambitions, but he doesn't care about this."
Liu Biao took the new wine cup handed by his subordinates, drank it all again, and asked in surprise: "Not long ago, I heard that Lu Bu, Ma Teng and Han Sui all led troops to Chang'an, why is there no movement now?" ”
"Naturally, someone took care of it."
Xu Zisheng patted the dust on his shoulder, and didn't mean to let Liu Biao know too much at all, "Let's get back to business and discuss cooperation." ”
"Mr. Xu is quick to talk, and Jingsheng won't beat around the bush."
Staring at Xu Zisheng, Liu Biao asked in a deep voice: "There is only one Son of Heaven, I'm afraid I can't cooperate, there is always someone who wants to be the master." ”
"When we wait to win the world, who will obey the orders of the Han Dynasty again?"
Xu Zisheng smiled, calmly poured himself full of wine, and savored it.
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Liu Biao stared at Xu Zisheng, as if he wanted to see through the situation set up by Xu Zisheng.
Not long after, Liu Biao, who had returned to normalcy, said with a smile: "It's all said and done, Jingsheng is willing to form an alliance with Mr. Xu and advance and retreat together." ”
"It's so good, this matter is settled, Xu will leave first."
After getting up and saluting Liu Biao, Xu Zisheng left on his own without waiting for a reply, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, turned his head sideways and said: "By the way, the road is in a hurry, and there is no preparation for any meeting gifts, so Youzhou will give it to Brother Jingsheng." ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Zisheng left without looking back, leaving only Liu Biao, who was shocked, sitting on the seat, not daring to imagine that Xu Zisheng casually gave himself a city.
Liu Biao, who reacted, hurriedly ordered to send someone to take over Youzhou, for fear that Xu Zisheng would regret it, and at the same time, Liu Biao seemed to have seen the benefits of working with Xu Zisheng, and he firmly believed it.
Walking out of Liu Biao's mansion, Zhao Yun rode a handsome white horse and led the soldiers to wait here, looking at Zhao Yun's majestic and elegant white horse, Xu Zisheng suddenly seemed to be interested.
"Zilong, is your horse the Jade Lion of the Night?"
"How did you find out, sir?"
Zhao Yun was quite puzzled when he heard this, so far he has not mentioned the name of this horse to anyone, how did Xu Zisheng know, "Could it be that Mr. has a deep study of horses?" ”
"Not really, but I've heard of it."
Xu Zisheng shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Lend me the Jade Lion of the Night to try, I have never ridden such a good horse." ”
"The jade lion of the night has some recognition of the master, and I hope that Mr. will be more careful." Zhao Yun reminded with a frown.
Then, Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, led the horse to Xu Zisheng's side, and helped Xu Zisheng on the horse's back.
However, as soon as Zhao Yun let go of the horse's reins, the jade lion roared in the night, and his front hooves rose into the air, throwing Xu Zisheng off the horse.
After throwing Xu Zisheng down, the Jade Lion of the Night stopped quietly in place, as if everything just now had nothing to do with it.
However, Xu Zisheng, who was being supported, was obviously frightened, and his face turned pale.
"This horse confesses the Lord, frightens the sir, and hopes that the sin will be forgiven." Zhao Yun said guiltily.
"No problem."
Xu Zisheng, who recovered, shook off Zhao Yun's support, turned around and got into the carriage, not giving Zhao Yun a chance to say more at all.
The helpless Zhao Yun couldn't touch Xu Zisheng's anger, so he could only turn over and get on the horse, gently patted the head of the night jade lion, sighed, and set off with the people and horses.
Inside the carriage, the hands in the sleeves trembled insufficiently, and his face was a little whiter than outside, and his eyes were full of fierce looks.
Sure enough, what kind of master has what kind of mount, this person and horse are no longer under my control, and now I have to take down Lu Bu, and when the time comes, I should also erase this Zhao Zilong and the horse, otherwise sooner or later he will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
Zhao Yun, who led the army, sat on the jade lion of the night, completely unaware that Xu Zisheng in the carriage had already killed himself.
Gently stroking the horse's head, Zhao Yun looked into the distance, and said to himself: "Perhaps, Xu Zisheng is not the master I am pursuing, maybe it was a mistake to follow Xu Zisheng at the beginning, then, who should I go to?" ”
A long sigh quickly disappeared into the sound of marching.
