"Okay, don't clean up, I've got you covered."

"Mishap?" General Lu Ren took the bamboo slip suspiciously, but soon understood, and said, "This shouldn't be Cao Gong's retirement document, right?" Do you want me to be a messenger? ”

Guo Jia said: "You don't even look at this bamboo slip to know that it will be the lord's retirement document, it seems that I expected it to be good, you have already expected that the lord will be eager to withdraw from the army to recover the state once he gets the letter." ”

Lu Ren was furious: "Then you still let me be this messenger?" There are some people in Tancheng who know me, and now that they see me as Cao Gong's messenger, they don't immediately decide that I was in Tancheng to investigate the military situation? I just have this one head, not enough for them to cut off! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The two countries are fighting each other, and if they don't kill them, don't you understand this?" And you just tell them bluntly that you were captured as a prisoner of war by Cao Gong? ”

Lu Ren is angry again: "You said it simply! Who the hell will believe it!? ”

Guo Jia held down Lu Ren, who was about to run away, and said with a smile: "Don't be bored, can you listen to me after I finish speaking?" It's okay if you don't listen, but if you don't go, you're violating the lord's order, and you know what will happen to those who violate the order. ”

"I'm ......" Lu Ren suddenly lost his temper. Yes, dare not try it at this time? Is it true that he went out of the camp just to deliver a letter? That's not a good deal.

Guo Jia patted Lu Ren on the shoulder: "If you let me finish speaking, I will understand why I said that this is a beautiful difference for you." ”

"Okay, okay, you say, you say."

Guo Jia's face was straight: "You don't think about it carefully, the lord rushed back this time to fight with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu has a Chen Palace who knows the lord well, this battle will be extremely difficult to fight, if you are still in the army as my scribe, I ask myself if I am sure that I can protect you, so I also deliberately want you to stay in Xuzhou, at least there will be no more battles here in Xuzhou for a while." ”

"This ......" Lu Ren thought about it.

Guo Jia said again: "If the lord recaptures Gunzhou, I may send someone to find you; If defeated...... Needless to say, the results are self-explanatory. It is only said that if the lord is defeated, but you are still in Xuzhou, you still have a Mi Zhu to run to, and it is not difficult to eat with him. Isn't this much stronger than being in the midst of a chaotic army, and I don't know when the sword and arrow will hit my body? Taking a step back, you have been in this place in Xuzhou for a while, and you are familiar with everything in the land, even if Mi Zhu does not take you in, you can go to other places as you wish. Yihao, although you and I have not been friends for a long time, there is always a bit of brotherhood. And you have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, and you don't want to follow the army, how can I not see it? Now that there is such an opportunity to let you go, what more do you think? ”

"......" Lu Ren was speechless. Guo Jia said it word for word, and of course Lu Ren would be moved. One is a place where there is a war and there will be many variables, and the other is a relatively stable place where there is no war, and Lu Ren is of course willing to choose the latter.

Looking at Guo Jia again, he took out a rather large money bag and handed it to Lu Ren: "Here are some gold jewelry and jade that the lord gave me before, you can keep it with you." If you really can't do it, with your knowledge, I don't think it is difficult to find a peaceful place, and then you can use the money to buy some fields and houses, and live a quiet life. ”

Lu Ren hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it: "Lao Guo, thank you!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Why are you and my brothers so polite?" It's not too early, so let's go early. If you have time in the future, remember to come and see me...... To be honest, as soon as you leave, I'll have a hard time swallowing the food that others cook. ”

Lu Ren also smiled: "There must be a chance...... Lao Guo, then I'll go. ”

"Go ahead."

Without further ado, after Lu Ren packed up the things that should be carried, he quickly left the tent, led the horse and went straight to Tancheng. Guo Jia stood with his arms crossed in front of the tent door, looking at Lu Ren's back and smiling without saying a word.

I don't know when, Cao Cao came to Guo Jia's side, and when he saw that Lu Ren was no longer with Guo Jia, he asked, "Yihao, he has gone to Tancheng?" This person is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, will he not send the letter, but run away halfway? ”

Guo Jia said: "If he escapes, there is no benefit to him, but if he doesn't escape, he may be taken in by Mi Zhu again. ”

Cao Cao said: "That's naturally a risk, and besides, he doesn't seem to have any risks to take, right?" Judging from the fact that this person pretended to be Wen Ruo before, he was very quick to speak well. He only had to deal with it carefully, and it was difficult for the people in Xuzhou to regard him as a meticulous work sent to Xuzhou by the lonely side...... Feng Xiao, I'm afraid this Lu Yihao won't come back, right? Regardless of this person's personality, he does have something extraordinary in looking at things, and he can be regarded as a talent. Let him go, Lone felt a little pity. ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "What is the use of a person who doesn't dare to speak or do things?" With the wisdom of the lord, he still doesn't dare to speak and do things here, and this time he returns to Tancheng with a little bit of suspicion, he will only be more unable to speak and do things, so the lord doesn't have to worry about anything. And I dare to assert that it won't be long before he comes back to me. ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows: "Why does Feng Xiao dare to assert like this?" ”

Guo Jia smiled sinisterly: "Xuzhou was beaten by the lord this time, and there are too many people who feel that they can't hang up, and there will definitely be people who want to find someone to vent their anger." And this angry person, is there a more suitable person than Lu Yihao at the moment? If it is to vent anger, then it must be humiliated in every way, although Yihao is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is definitely not the kind of person who can be humiliated. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and if they really provoke Yihao, they will definitely abandon Xuzhou and come to me. ”

Cao Cao smiled and didn't speak again.

――――――――――――――――――――

At night, the city of Xuzhou was filled with jubilant sounds. The people were celebrating Cao Cao's retreat, and the officials in Xuzhou were also rejoicing that their lives and their families were safe. But what about Lu Ren?

As Cao Jun's messenger, Lu Ren also had a seat at the official banquet set up by Tao Qian. Of course, although he was not sitting in the last seat, it was not much better. And the people at the banquet threw at him, except for cold eyes or cold eyes, and no one even saluted him for a ceremonial toast.

When Lu Ren was recognized, of course, he explained that he was a prisoner captured by Cao Cao, but how many people would believe him at this time? Even if someone believed it, they didn't dare to say it or say a few more words to Lu Ren. In a word, if the Chinese people in Xuzhou hadn't hindered their face and the rules of "the two countries don't fight each other" were not good to attack Lu Ren, I'm afraid that Lu Ren would have to activate N times the physical strength state to kill out of the city at this time to save his life.

Being treated coldly by people, and with bursts of murderous aura pressed over, Lu Ren's feelings were naturally not much better. But out of courtesy, Lu Ren can't leave the table now, so he can only sit there alone and pour himself a drink. Reluctantly relaxed, Lu Ren was also secretly thinking about how to stay in Xuzhou City first.

As for going to Mi Zhu again, Lu Ren no longer had any plans. Don't say anything else, just say that at this banquet, Mi Zhu didn't say a word for himself, and even always avoided himself. Although Lu Ren scolded Mi Zhu in his heart for not being righteous, he was able to understand Mi Zhu from Mi Zhu's point of view. And compare the heart to the heart, if he is in Mi Zhu's position now, there will be no difference between the trick and Mi Zhu's current behavior.

"Why don't I go to Zheng Xuan's place for a while? Now that I have a few dollars in hand, it shouldn't be a problem to get some land and gangsters from Zheng Xuan......"

Lu Ren was thinking about things here, but suddenly found that a guy who had drunk too much was standing in front of him with a jar of wine. Tall body, dark face, leopard head and eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, who else will there be besides Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei?

But seeing Zhang Fei staggering and putting the wine jar in his hand on Lu Ren's table, Lu Ren, who was looking down and thinking about things, was startled and didn't say anything, even the wine and food on the table were shaken a lot, and as soon as he opened his mouth again, Lu Ren wanted to reach out and cover his ears: "Come, envoy Cao Jun, I will give you a glass of old Zhang!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Lu Ren hurriedly avoided the table and saluted, held up the wine glass and waited for Zhang Fei to pour wine into the glass - this was the etiquette at that time. It's just that this time Lu Ren found that his height was almost a head behind Zhang Fei, and if he wanted to look at Zhang Fei, he had to look up.

At this time, he wanted to take a good look at this first-class brave general in the Three Kingdoms who could make Lu Budu concede three points, but Zhang Fei didn't give Lu Ren any time. Holding the mouth of the altar with one hand, he slapped the wine glass in Lu Ren's hand with the palm of the other hand, and then turned the two pots of vegetables on the table upside down to the table to vacate two vegetable pots, and then poured the wine into the basin: "Manly man, just drink in a big bowl to have fun!" How boring is it to drink slowly like you? The buzzing sound was so loud that it shook Lu Ren's eardrums, and he wondered if the lion's roar in martial arts novels was created by Zhang Fei.

Looking down at the vegetable basin with a diameter of one foot and a depth of half a foot, Lu Ren is sweat came down. Such a pot full of wine is at least two catties or more, and it is not a joke to pour it into the stomach. Not to mention the wine with a very low alcohol content in the late Han Dynasty, even if it is boiled water, it will make the stomach swell, right? Besides, Zhang Fei is notoriously ruthless when he pours wine, if you can't pour him down...... Hehe, it's still a trivial matter to have a few laps around his waistline, and Zhang Fei's leather whip can't stand it.

"General Zhang, General Zhang San, there is no amount of alcohol in ...... below"

"What-!?" Zhang Fei grabbed Lu Ren's collar as soon as he reached out: "You have the courage to come to Xuzhou alone to spy on the military situation, and today you dare to stay in Xuzhou alone as a messenger, why don't you have the courage to drink a few bowls of wine with my old Zhang!?" Do you look down on me Lao Zhang? Tell you, you have to drink this wine even if you don't drink it!! ”

"Hey, you-" Lu Ren held Zhang Fei's arm with both hands, desperately trying to get out of the way, but he didn't activate the physical enhancement state, where could he be Zhang Fei's opponent in terms of strength? Seeing that Zhang Fei was picking up the vegetable pot with his other hand and preparing to irrigate it, Lu Ren had no choice but to set his eyes on Liu Bei and Guan Yu who were seated over there. No matter what Liu Bei thinks in the world, how can Liu Bei and Guan Yu come out to stop Zhang Fei in this situation, but at a glance, Lu Ren was surprised to find that these two didn't know where they went.

"I—I'm! Did you go to WC at this time? I don't know if it's a real WC or a fake WC!! ”
