Chang'an, Liu Zhang's mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two sat opposite each other, with a table in front of them. One of them picked up the wine jar, poured a glass of wine for the other party, raised the wine glass, and drank opposite it, these two people were Liu Zhang and Tai Shici! To be honest, if it were someone else, Liu Zhang didn't expect him to surrender, but Tai Shici was different, because he had a criminal record. However, even if Tai Shici in history once surrendered to Sun Ce, it does not mean that he will surrender to Liu Zhang easily. After sitting for a long time, he drank more than a jar of wine, but Tai Shici still didn't say a word. Liu Zhang was not in a hurry, just sat and drank with him.

"Champion Hou, you are busy, why waste your strength on me?" Tai Shi Ci couldn't help it, he looked at Liu Zhang helplessly.

"Ziyi, although I captured you with family planning, you and I were hostile at that time, and you can't blame me!" For talents, Liu Zhang is still very patient, and he poured another glass of wine for Tai Shici.

"I've never blamed Champion Hou!" Tai Shi Ci picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but it was just a sweet drink, but it made his mouth a little bitter.

Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Why didn't that Ziyi surrender?" ”

"Champion Hou, as the saying goes: loyal ministers don't care about two masters, and martyrs don't marry two husbands! Although I am not a hero, I also know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If I surrender, won't it be a shame for me to be unfaithful? The more Tai Shi Ci said, the more firm the expression on his face became, and he actually brought a trace of determination!

"Ziyi, what if Liu Bei dies?" Liu Zhang took a sip of the wine glass, he believed that Tai Shici would be loyal to Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei has already cut off his children and grandchildren, and Tai Shici is also an ownerless person, so there is no such thing as serving the two masters!

"What?" Tai Shici was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand also fell to the ground, and it was shattered with a snap.

"Ziyi, Liu Bei is dead!" Seeing Tai Shi's heart swaying, Liu Zhang immediately told the news of Liu Bei's death.

Liu Zhang still remembers that when Liu Bei died, he was in contact with the daughters in the courtyard. The fall of the big superstar is only regarded as a spectacle by others, but Zhang Ning understands the meaning. Zhang Ning immediately told Liu Zhang about the fall of Emperor Xing, and Liu Zhang immediately thought of Liu Bei, so he asked Guo Jia and Jia Xu to confirm it. As soon as it was confirmed that Liu Bei was dead, Liu Zhang found Tai Shici to persuade him to surrender.

"Lord..."Tai Shi Ci was completely stunned when he heard this, with his superb martial arts, he couldn't sit on the chair and fell to the ground. Suddenly, Tai Shici laughed again, and he laughed and said, "Champion Hou, in order to say that you have taken great pains to surrender me. However, the lord can't die, so don't lie to me! ”

"Liu Xuande is poisoned by Wuxi Man, why can't he die?" Liu Zhang sneered: "Do you think that just the witch doctor of the Southern Barbarians can detoxify him? Joke! ”

"Could it be that the lord died of poison?" Tai Shici shook his head and said, "Impossible! When I left Wuling with the military advisor, the lord had obviously begun to recover, and even the wounds had already scarred, how could it be poisonous! ”

"Indeed, Liu Bei didn't die of poison!" Liu Zhang said: "He died because of the collapse of the arrow wound, which caused the wound to rot and pus!" ”

"How could the lord's wound burst, you lied to me, right?" Tai Shi Ci stared at Liu Zhang, trying to find a flaw in his face.

"Liao Li's army is defeated, you and Chen Zhi are captured, all Liu Bei's hopes are cut off, can his arrow not crack!" Liu Zhang said indifferently: "Tai Shici, you should know my reputation." I'm not going to make up stories just to say you! Liu Bei is dead, this is a fact that cannot be doubted! ”

"Although the lord is dead, the lady is still there. When I left Wuling, Mrs. Gan was already pregnant, and now it was time to give birth. As long as the son is born, the lord will have a successor, and I, as the lord's close general, even if I can't serve the little son, I can't betray him! Tai Shici's eyes were full of determination, which made Liu Zhang depressed.

"Madame Gan did give birth to a son!" Liu Zhang took a bite of the dish and said, "It's a pity, it's dead!" ”

"What?" Tai Shi Ci was stunned, and he couldn't help asking, "How did you die?" ”

"Killed by Liao Li!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Liao Li hit his head in the abdomen of Mrs. Gan, who was about to give birth, and as a result, Mrs. Gan and the child died!" ”

"Master Liao?" Tai Shici shook his head and said: "Liao Junshi has received great favor from the lord, how can he harm the son of the lord, don't laugh at the champion!" ”

"Jokes? I never laugh! Liu Zhang carefully told Tai Shici about the information he obtained, and Tai Shici was dumbfounded and surprised!

"The lord designed Liao Junshi, and Liao Junshi was not angry and killed the lord's wife and children?" Tai Shici stared at Liu Zhang, he only had three words written on his face, I don't believe it!

"It's a fact, if you don't believe it, I can't help it!" Liu Zhang sighed: "Ziyi, people's patience is limited, if you don't know what to do, I can only stand you." ”

"Champion Hou, you don't need to say it!" Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "Tai Shi Gong said: Death is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather!" Today, I have died for my loyalty, and I have died a well-deserved death! ”

"Pedantic!" Liu Zhang was furious and overturned the table with the wine and food. He stroked his sleeve and turned away, muttering, "I don't know what to do!" ”

"Alas..."Tai Shi Ci sighed, picked up the wine jar that had not yet been broken, looked at Liu Zhang's back, and said with a respect: "The love of the champion Hou cannot be repaid in the future. But how can I not repay my lord's kindness to me? I have failed to live up to your wishes, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life as a reward! ”

After speaking, Tai Shici held the wine jar high, and the sweet wine was poured directly into his mouth. The liquor entered his stomach, and a trace of ruddy surged up on Tai Shici's face, but he was very depressed in his heart. Raise a glass to sell sorrow and sorrow, wine into the intestines, even if you are drunk, you can't get rid of it, not to mention a jar of fine wine, you can't make Tai Shici drunk!

"What a bastard!" Liu Zhang doesn't know Tai Shici's mood, he has never failed to recruit loyal ministers and fierce generals since he was a child, and even Zhuge Liang was recruited by him, but he ran into a wall here in Tai Shici. He was full of anger, all the way, scolding all the way, and the people who knew him on the street felt a little strange!

"Husband, isn't that the lord? What happened to him? A couple passed by Liu Zhang, and the two hurriedly saluted, but Liu Zhang just nodded and passed, which was very different from his usual attitude! The wife knew that her husband was very highly regarded by Liu Zhang, so she was a little puzzled.

"Hey! Don't mention it! Seeing his wife's question, the husband shook his head and said: "It's not for General Taishi, the lord has persuaded him to surrender many times, but General Taishi is unwavering, it seems that the lord's persuasion has failed again!" ”

"General Taishi? Which Taishi general! The wife's face changed dramatically when she heard this, and her husband's hand turned a little pale.

"Which other Taishi general can there be, it is naturally Taishi Ziyi under Liu Bei!" It didn't seem to notice his wife's abnormality, and the husband smiled: "Speaking of which, I remember that you seem to have said that General Taishi is kind to you, so it's better to... Well? Ling'er, what's wrong with you? ”

"It's okay! I'm suddenly feeling a little sick, let's go home! Finally discovering his wife's abnormality, the husband shook his wife a little strangely, and the wife quickly made an excuse. The husband did not doubt him, so he helped his wife to go home. It turned out that the couple was Mi Zhu and Cao Ling, and it was rare for them to wander the streets, but Cao Ling unexpectedly learned of Tai Shici's whereabouts.

Speaking of which, Tai Shi Ci's mother has lived in Mi Zhu's house for several years, although she knew that Tai Shi Ci was under Liu Bei's command, but her mother didn't think about looking for him. With the knowledge of a loving mother, she knew that Liu Bei was very bitter there, and she would not drag her son down. It's just that he often inquires about Tai Shici's news through Mi Zhu. If you want to know the news of Tai Shi Ci, you naturally have to have a reason, so Cao Ling told Mi Zhu about Tai Shi Ci saving her at the beginning. I heard that it was his wife's benefactor, and Mi Zhu was naturally very concerned. When the loving mother got the news of her son and knew that her son was doing well, she didn't worry about it.

Originally, Liu Zhangsheng captured Tai Shici, and Mi Zhu was also ready to tell Cao Ling, but after Liu Zhang returned to the army, his official duties were too busy and he forgot about it. It wasn't until he was idle and accompanied Cao Ling to go shopping and saw the angry Liu Zhang that he remembered this incident. It's just that he didn't know that the old woman who he had always regarded as his mother-in-law turned out to be the mother of Tai Shici!

When she returned home, Cao Ling ignored Mi Zhu's concern and immediately found Taishi's mother. Hearing that her son was captured alive and taken to Chang'an, the loving mother was immediately dumbfounded. No matter how capable a woman is, when she hears that something happened to her son, she will panic. The loving mother decided to have a showdown with Mi Zhu and asked Mi Zhu to come forward to save Tai Shici!

"Oops! Mother, Ling'er, what are you doing! Mi Zhu was worried about his wife's health and was about to send someone to ask for a doctor, but he saw his wife and mother-in-law walking together. After waving off the waiter, the two of them knelt on the ground violently, so frightened that Mi Zhu almost jumped up!

"Husband, I have something to hide from you!" Cao Ling lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mi Zhu.

"What?" Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, a little panicked in his heart, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you hiding from me?" ”

"I..." Cao Ling's face was full of shame, and she stopped talking. Her demeanor made Mi Zhu misunderstand, and Mi Zhu thought that she had done something sorry for herself!

"Don't blame Ling'er, it's all my fault!" Seeing Mi Zhu's expression, Taishi Ci's mother was a little desperate in her heart, but she loved Cao Ling very much, so she naturally had to bear all the sins!

"What's your business?" Mi Zhu blinked, and the grief in his heart calmed down. If Cao Ling did something sorry for him, it must have nothing to do with her mother-in-law. Mi Zhu smiled: "No matter what, get up first!" ”

"No!" Mother smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Mi, everything is the fault of the old body, in fact, the old body is the mother of General Tai Shici!" Back then, my son saved Ling'er and asked her to take care of me. Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, and we were separated from my son! Turning around and coming to Chang'an, Ling'er will reunite with you. I was worried that the champion Hou would persuade me to surrender my son, so I asked Ling'er to hide my identity for me, I..."

"You are the mother of Tai Shi Ci!" Mi Zhu was shocked, he didn't expect that there was such a great god hidden in his house, no wonder Jia Xu and Guo Jia couldn't find out the whereabouts of Taishi Ci's mother by all means, they thought Taishi Ci's mother was dead!

"The old body is exactly!" The mother smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Mi, I wanted to ask you to rescue my son, but now I just want you not to blame Ling'er, and I am satisfied!" ”

"Hurry up, please!" hurriedly helped Taishi Ci's mother up, and Mi Zhu smiled: "You guys frightened me, what do I think!" Although you are the mother of General Taishi, I still have to call you mother. If it weren't for you and my brother, my wife would have died of humiliation, how could she meet me? ”

"Husband, don't you blame us?" Cao Ling glanced at Mi Zhu weakly, but found that Mi Zhu had a stinky face, so frightened that she quickly lowered her head!

"Humph! I'll clean you up again! Mi Zhu said: "If you don't get up to support your mother, and then move a chair for your mother, do you still want to teach you for your husband?" ”

"Yes!" Cao Ling immediately understood Mi Zhu's thoughts, and hurriedly helped Taishi Ci's mother to sit down and stand aside!

"Ling'er sit down too!" A loving mother is old and fine, how can she not know that Mi Zhu is playing tricks and training her wife by the way, she can't let Cao Ling suffer too much!

"This..."Cao Ling still dared to sit, she glanced at Mi Zhu carefully. Seeing that her husband's face was still stiff, she quickly lowered her head!

"Mother told you to sit, just sit down!" Seeing that Taishi's mother glanced at herself, Mi Zhu also knew that she couldn't go too far, so she asked Cao Ling to sit down. In fact, Cao Ling is also cooperating with Mi Zhu, how can she not know her husband's love for her. For a capable man, as long as his wife is not out of the wall, what mistake can't be forgiven? Except, of course, those with special fetishes!

After the three of them sat down, Tai Shi Ci's mother thought of her son again, since Mi Zhu didn't blame her for hiding her identity, she wanted to ask Mi Zhu to save Tai Shi Ci. But Tai Shi Ci is a prisoner and an enemy general, in her opinion, if Mi Zhu wants to save Tai Shi Ci, she will definitely have to pay a lot of price. For this cheap son-in-law, the loving mother has a good impression, but she doesn't want to hurt him, so she is a little hesitant.

Mi Zhu is a gentleman, but he is not a fool, how can he not see the mind of Taishi Ci's mother, he smiled and asked: "Mother, do you want me to save my son?" ”

"This..."The mother hesitated for a moment, "Of course I want to save Ziyi, but..."

"Actually, it's not difficult to save my brother!" Mi Zhu shrugged his shoulders and said: "The lord has always wanted to persuade Brother Ziyi to surrender, but Brother Ziyi refused to surrender even if he died, which angered the lord. Since the righteous brother is also the son of the mother, the mother will come forward to say the surrender! The lord will be the general, only happy, and will not care about anything else! ”

"This..."Taishi Ci's mother claims to understand righteousness, how can she not understand the truth that loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, she said with some hesitation: "This is not to make my son unfaithful and unjust?" It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate! ”

"Mother, what are you kidding! Brother Ziyi's surrender is not only loyal to the righteousness, but also loyal to the monarch and patriotic, abandoning the dark and turning to the light! Mi Zhu smiled: "What is Liu Bei?" He pretended to be a royal prince and swaggered and deceived! Indeed, he was good to the people, but he could not hide his crimes! Brother Ziyi served under him, and he was simply rebellious! What's more, Liu Bei is dead, and he doesn't even have an heir left, how can Brother Ziyi still have a lord to serve? Now that Brother Ziyi is already an ownerless person, why can't he serve my master? Please also ask my mother to see it! ”
