Seeing the arrears written on the silk, Liu Bei completely collapsed.

He has been pitted by Cao Shuo to the point of being penniless, and he can barely afford to support these people around him.

Now there is such a debt that cannot be repaid......

"Mi Gong ......" Liu Bei's hand holding the silk silk was trembling slightly, and he said to Mi Heng with a sad face: "I can't ......afford to pay back so much money."

"If you can't afford it, you can owe it first." Mi Heng said generously.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief: "Please also announce that I will pay off this money sooner or later." ”

"It won't take long." Mi Heng said: "Gongzi is short of money now, and before leaving Xu Du, he must have to find Xuande Gong to get the money back." ”

"But ......," Liu Bei said, "I really can't afford to pay ......."

"Xuande Gong doesn't need to be anxious, in fact, there are not much." Mi Heng said: "If the prince stays in Xudu for a month, he will only be 40,000 yuan if he hangs three times by 5,000 yuan!" ”

When Mi Heng said 40,000 hangs, Liu Bei's face was like earth.

Zhang Fei glared at him and shouted to Mi Heng: "What does Cao Zirong mean? At the beginning, he owed his brother so much money, and his brother did not ask him for interest. Now my brother just owes him so much, and it has become 40,000 hangings? ”

"Whether it's still or not is all in Xuande Gong!" Mi Heng bowed and said, "It's not early, I should go back and rest, farewell!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Bei to respond, Mi Heng had already turned around and left.

Staring at his back, Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei: "Brother, is it possible to watch Cao Zirong ride on our heads and and pee like this?" ”

Liu Bei Tie blushed and did not speak.

Guan Yu also said on the side: "Brother, Cao Zirong is clearly going to kill us. ”

"Tell the person sent by Dong Cheng that I will meet him tonight." Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother, think about it." Guan Yu reminded: "One wrong step will be lost!" ”

"There's no way back, what else can I do?" Liu Bei said: "Is it possible to wait until Cao Zirong forces me to death?" ”

"That's what my brother said!" Zhang Fei said: "Every time I see Cao Zirong, I want to screw his head off!" ”

"Cao Zirong has a lot of fierce generals around him, and the guards are also elite." Liu Bei said: "What's more, he has a very close relationship with the Cao family, and he must not be provoked in Xu Du." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei added: "At least when Xu is in the hands of the Cao family, you must not provoke him." ”

Half an hour later, Liu Bei came to Dong Cheng's residence.

Dong Chenghe, Chongji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu and others came out.

"Xuande Gong!" Seeing Liu Bei, Dong Cheng made a big gift and said, "Just wait for Xuande Gong!" ”

"General Dong!" Liu Bei replied and asked, "It's already late at night, I don't know what to tell me to come?" ”

"How dare I tell Xuande Gong." Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Duke Xuande is the imperial family, and if you talk about royal seniority, you are still the uncle of Your Majesty today. ”

"Since Duke Xuande is the royal prince, Duke Dong always wants to give him a proper name." Chongji said: "It's better to go to your majesty tomorrow and ask your majesty to recognize that Duke Xuande is the imperial uncle of the Han family." ”

"That's what I mean." Dong Cheng said: "I don't know what Xuande Gong thinks. ”

"General Dong is serious." Liu Bei said: "How can I be virtuous, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty to be called an imperial uncle!" ”

"It's originally a royal prince, what can't you deserve." Dong Cheng said: "This is not the place to talk, Xuande Gong please enter the house and talk." ”

Dong Cheng led everyone into the back garden and sat down in a room.

Before Liu Bei arrived, Dong Cheng had already discussed with Wang Zifu and others.

After entering the house, Chongji asked Dong Cheng: "I heard that Dong Gong entered the palace today, and His Majesty issued a secret edict, I don't know what His Majesty said?" ”

Liu Bei knew that they were colluding to show him, but he didn't say anything.

His eyes fell on Liu Bei's face, and Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty's secret edict is very important, if Xuande Gong is of one heart and one mind with us, I can take it out and pass it on to you." I just don't know Xuande Gong's thoughts......"

"One heart and one mind?" Liu Bei smiled slightly and asked, "Could it be that General Dong and you are going to do something big?" ”

"When it falls apart today, Your Majesty is in exile in Xudu and is controlled by Cao Cao." Dong Cheng said: "As the imperial prince, can Duke Xuande be able to see it? ”

"What if you can't see it?" Liu Bei said: "Xu Du is the world of Cao Gong, what can General Dong and I do?" ”

"Xuande Gong is also dissatisfied with Cao Cao?" Dong Cheng asked tentatively.

"There must be some dissatisfaction." Liu Bei said: "Duke Cao is in charge alone, and His Majesty came to Xu Du and was originally pro-government. However, you have also seen that it is not Your Majesty who manages the government now, but Cao Gong......"

"We all understand what Xuande Gong said." Dong Cheng said: "Don't hide it from Duke Xuande, the secret edict that Your Majesty gave me is to kill Cao Cao and return the imperial power of the Han Dynasty!" ”

He took out the belt given by Concubine Dong from his arms, handed it to Chongji and said, "Seed Gong will be passed on to you to take a look." ”

Taking the belt, he took out the "edict" from it.

He had already seen it, and he pretended to read it again, and then passed it to the prince.

Liu Bei was the last to get the edict.

After browsing it, Liu Bei was stunned and asked Dong Cheng: "General Dong, what does Your Majesty mean to ......?"

Before he could speak, Dong Cheng's eyes turned red and he sobbed.

As soon as he cried like this, Chongji and the others also had red eyes.

"Your Majesty is in Longtan today, but we as courtiers can't share his worries!" Dong Cheng said with tears on his face: "Every time I think of this, I feel like my heart hurts like I am being pulled by something. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict, what reason is there not to worry about His Majesty? ”

"Xuande Gong!" He stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Bei: "We are willing to be willing to smear my liver and brain for Your Majesty, I wonder if Duke Xuande, as an imperial prince, will he go to life and death with me?" ”

Maybe it was the tears of Dong Cheng and others that played a role, or maybe it was the sincerity of the edict that made Liu Bei feel proud to do his best for the Han family.

He took two steps forward, took Dong Cheng's hand and said, "General Dong, I am willing to go to life and death with all the princes!" ”

"With Xuande Gong here, we will become a big thing!" Dong Cheng said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will invite Xuande Gong into the palace and make a statement to His Majesty for Xuande's justice!" ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything, and held Dong Cheng's hand and clenched it tighter.

Leaving Dong Cheng's house, it was already midnight.

Back at the residence, Guan Yu whispered to Liu Bei and asked, "Brother promised Dong Cheng?" ”

"It's good, why don't you say yes?" Liu Bei said: "As long as Your Majesty corrects my name, from now on I can recruit soldiers and horses in the name of Uncle Huang." My two brothers and I were able to accomplish great things earlier! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and neither of them said much.
