Chapter 248: I Want People Too

But seeing that Xu Shu had been thinking hard for a long time in hesitation, he finally shook his head at Liu Bei and said, "Please forgive me, Uncle Huang, my mother has moved to Yizhou a few years ago, and I have been taken care of by my brother Meng. In his early years, because of his youth and frivolity, he failed to support his mother among the rivers and lakes, and this life was a great mistake! Now I just want to go to Yizhou, one can serve the old mother's knees for the old mother's filial piety, in order to make up for the mistakes of the year, and the other is to repay the kindness of the brother, so I hope that the emperor's uncle will be fulfilled! ”

“……”

Everyone was speechless. Hindering people from fulfilling their filial piety is a rebellious thing, and Liu Bei has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, so he can't do this kind of thing. In desperation, Liu Bei could only shake his head vigorously and sigh, and after helping Xu Shu up, he drank a few glasses with Xu Shu speechlessly, and then sent Lu Ren and Xu Shu out of the gate of the mansion. And Lu Ren and Xu Shu had just walked out of the gate when they heard Liu Bei's sigh of looking up to the sky: "Heavens! Do you really want to forget about this!? ”

Lu Ren and Xu Shu glanced at each other. And Lu Ren looked at Xu Shu's expression, sighed lightly and shook his head, "Yuan Zhi, if you are really reluctant, then you should stay......"

Xu Shu glanced at Lu Ren with a complicated expression after hearing Lu Ren's light sigh, but shook his head lightly and said, "If there is no dedicated care from my brother in the past few years, how can there be Xu Yuanzhi, who has displayed his talents and makes people focus on today?" If this favor is not repaid, how can you be a human being? Moreover, since Shu has already walked out of this door, he really has no shame to turn around and re-enter. ”

Lu Ren sighed again, and for a while he had all the thoughts in his heart, not only the joy of completely getting rid of Xu Shu, but also the guilt of being a big villain. After pondering for a moment, Lu Ren stretched out his hand and patted Xu Shu's shoulder and said, "Yuan Zhi, some words may hurt your self-esteem, but they can also be regarded as a kind of enlightenment to you......"

"Brother, but it's okay to say."

Lu Ren said: "Then I'll tell the truth." To be honest, I think that by the time Lao Cao goes south, you will most likely not be able to help Uncle Huang by his side. Because of the design and planning of the confrontation between the two armies. Although you have few opponents, what Uncle Liu Huang really needs now is a person who can make a reversal for him in the current adversity, but this is not what Yuan Zhi you are good at. ”

After hearing this, Xu Shu pondered for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What does my brother mean?" ”

Lu Ren's words have been prepared for a long time, and of course he has copied lines from modern soap operas: "Uncle Huang has won a big victory this time thanks to your resourcefulness." And all of a sudden, I became extremely important to you. And in this case, even if you recommend someone to Uncle Huang, I'm afraid Uncle Huang will list him in your second place, and I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right? ”

Xu Shu nodded lightly: "Yes, with his state of mind, how can it be so?" And if Uncle Huang attaches too much importance to me, but he is on the second list, he may leave if it is difficult for him to succeed, but Uncle Huang will eventually lose a great virtue because of me. ”

Lu Ren also nodded and said, "So at this time, you leave Uncle Huang." On the contrary, he is helping Uncle Huang to succeed, and he is this wicked man...... I'll be in charge. ”

Xu Shu sighed: "Brother is really well-intentioned......"

Lu Ren looked back at the mansion that was already a hundred steps away, and stretched out his hand to stop Xu Shu, who wanted to run back: "Yuan Zhi, let me go this time." I've already been a wicked person, so I have to be a good person, right? ”

Xu Shu smiled, stopped and watched Lu Ren enter the mansion.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the government hall, the originally lively situation was cold because of Xu Shu's departure. Liu Bei was even more depressed to the extreme. But at this moment, Lu Ren appeared in the hall again. For a while, the atmosphere was very wrong.

"Uncle Huang, can you take a few steps to speak?"

A moment later, in a secluded place in the palace, Lu Ren looked at Liu Bei's stinky face, although he was complacent in his heart, but only a faint smile appeared on his face: "Why should Uncle Huang be like this?" Uncle Huang should know that I have been helping you in secret. Actually, I'll take Yuan Zhi away now. It was to prevent Lao Cao from thinking that the emperor's uncle had already achieved his wings and raising troops in advance. If it is at this time, Lao Cao will raise a large army to attack, Uncle Huang, do you think you can resist it? ”

"This ......"

Lu Ren said: "Lao Cao has always regarded Uncle Huang as a big trouble, so why don't Xu Du do anything here?" Uncle Huang has something going on here, I think Lao Cao will find out in a few days. And the emperor's uncle is supplemented by a wise man, how can Lao Cao sit idly by. Uncle Ren, with the assistance of the Magi, is the army growing stronger? So if I don't take Yuan Zhi away now, I'm afraid that Lao Cao will raise troops to the south at any time, and his soldiers and horses will need to rest and recuperate, but they will not be short of these few months. ”

Liu Bei frowned, although he believed Lu Ren's words a little, he didn't believe them all.

Lu Ren smiled: "Uncle Huang is still worried about me taking away Yuan Zhi, and no one can help him? Whether Uncle Huang believes it or not, I can only say that Yuan Zhi can only solve Uncle Huang's temporary urgency, but he can't change Uncle Huang's long-term adversity. If Uncle Huang really wants to get out of the current adversity, what you need is not Yuan Zhi, but a wise man who really has a big mind. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Dare to ask Mr. for advice!" ”

Lu Ren smiled again: "What can I teach?" Uncle Huang has always had a good relationship with Mr. Shui Jing, didn't Mr. Shui Jing mention to Uncle Huang that 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, one of them can be Antian'? ”

Liu Bei said: "It is true that it was said, but under questioning, Mr. Shui Jing refused to say it clearly." ”

Lu Ren said: "That's because the time has not yet come, even if Uncle Huang gets these two sages, it will be difficult to reuse." And now, Uncle Huang, you have realized the importance of strategy from Yuan Zhi's body, and you will really pay attention to their advice, so now is the time to invite them out of the mountain. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "What Mr. said is very true! I want to prepare for the past, I only know the courage of the battle and don't know how to use it, so I have been raising troops for more than ten years and have not been able to succeed********...... Dare to ask Mr. to say clearly, who is this sleeping dragon and phoenix? ”

Lu Ren said: "Feng Xiao's words, don't think about it first, because he is now in Jiangdong; As for Wolong...... This person's surname is Zhuge , his name is bright, his name is Kongming, and his road name is Wolong, and he now lives in Wollongong, Longzhong. Uncle Huang immediately went to invite this person out of the mountain, he can help Uncle Huang achieve a great career. ”

Liu Bei was stunned. Immediately bowed to Lu Ren: "The grace of Mr. is unforgettable!" It's a pity that after Mr. goes to Yizhou, it will be difficult to meet Mr. again! ”

Lu Ren returned the salute and still smiled: "Maybe we will have a chance to meet...... Ah, actually, I left some things for Uncle Huang, but now is not the time to take them out. Wait until the time comes. Uncle Huang will know. Oh yes, there is a sentence I still have to remind Uncle Huang, most of the great sages are arrogant, Uncle Huang, if you invite Wolong out of the mountain, you must show your sincerity. It doesn't work twice, and it doesn't work three times. You must know that in the past, Duke Qi Huan wanted to see the Dongguo savages, and he had to return to the other side, and the real great sage, Uncle Huang, you may have to run a few more times. I'll leave only one sentence in the end. He will definitely not disappoint Uncle Huang. ”

Liu Bei wanted to thank Lu Ren again, but Lu Ren was very chic...... Maybe it should be said that he thought he was very chic and turned away. This road is walking, and Lu Ren's heart is also fluttering: "Oh, how cool are we?" It turns out that it is so cool to pretend to be a high-ranking person and show your demeanor! ”

Let's not talk about how Liu Bei was, just say that when Lu Ren returned to Xu Shu's side, he unexpectedly found that there was one more person next to Xu Shu, and after a closer look, Lu Ren's jaw almost hit the ground: "Mr. Shuijing? ”

Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, seems to have just finished talking to Xu Shu. At this time, he glanced at Lu Ren meaningfully, nodded and smiled: "Yi Haoxian's nephew is really scheming!" It's just that you take Yuan Zhi with you. Why do you want Kong Ming to come out? ”

Lu Renxin said that why did this line come to me? And this incident came too suddenly, Lu Ren didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only stand there in embarrassment.

Sima Hui said with a smile: "It seems that the old man really peeped at you at the beginning." That's it, Yuan Zhi is going, I think I will be able to do the next thing, and as you said. If Yuan Zhiruo still stays by Uncle Liu's side, it will actually not be of much benefit to Uncle Liu. It's a pity for Kong Ming...... Although Wolong won its master, it didn't get its time, it's a pity! ”

Lu Ren also remembered some words at this time, shook his head at Sima Hui and said, "He has great ambitions. Regardless of whether it is time or not, as long as a person walks impartially on the road he has chosen, in fact, he is a successful person and a respectable person for himself. ”

Sima Hui was very surprised and glanced at Lu Ren again, and suddenly smiled again: "Yes, yes, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, how can manpower compete with the sky." As long as you can be worthy of your heart, you will have no regrets in death. Hahaha, I can't imagine that the old man has spent dozens of years in vain, and his chest is not as open as you, so I'm ashamed! ”

After speaking, he turned to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, please assist your brother well." The old man suddenly had a feeling that if you serve him by his side, your future fame in history is only unlimited, and loyalty and filial piety can be both, which is really envious of the old man. ”

Xu Shu returned the salute respectfully, while Sima Hui smiled and turned away in a truly fluttering and chic manner. Lu Ren sighed to himself in his heart, but he also remembered that Sima Hui should be going to find Liu Bei, so he asked, "Mr. Sima is not going to visit Uncle Liu?" ”

Sima Hui turned around and smiled: "Since you have already mentioned the emperor's uncle, why should the old man go to draw snakes?" ”

“…… Maybe the icing on the cake would be better? ”

――――――――――――――――――――

As for whether Liu Bei can ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, Lu Ren will not worry about it, because Lu Ren's worries about himself will also be superfluous. Just said that a few days later, Lu Ren took Xu Shu and Shi Tao to board the ship that was going to return to Yizhou, and Lu Lan was the first to greet him. After some politeness, Lu Lan suddenly looked at Xiangyang City and said, "My lord, do we really want to give up the many industries here?" ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and said: "The chaos is coming, the small life is important, we must give up what we should give!" And to tell the truth, this bit of industry here in Jingxiang, I Lu Ren still doesn't pay attention to it. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled at Xu Shu and Shi Tao: "Yuanzhi, Guangyuan, don't think that you will have nothing to do after you arrive in Yizhou, in fact, there are a lot of things to do for you in Yizhou, and I am really more short of people than Uncle Liu Huang, so I also need people." But let's talk about the ugliness in the front, your money is still very much earned by yourself, and with your character, you don't disdain to be the kind of person who eats the food that comes to you, right? ”

Xu Shu and Shi Tao glanced at each other and smiled...... (To be continued.) )
