Chapter 221: Forced marriage for the talent Chen Deng
Bringing Liu Bei's three brothers and Chen Deng to the Mi family hall, Mi Zhu asked with a frosty face: "Chen Yuanlong, what do you want to do!" ”
"I want to be a moon old man in the next! I heard that the sister of Brother Zizhong, who is double ten years old, has made a wish not to marry if she is not a hero in the world because of her outstanding talent and appearance! My lord Liu Xuande, a hero of the world, but he has not yet married, so he uses me as a matchmaker to propose marriage to Brother Zizhong! Chen Deng didn't calculate his friend's guilt at all, but took it for granted!
"You..."Mi Zhu asked with a sneer, "If I don't agree, do you want my blood to be spattered on the spot?" ”
"Marriage is consensual, and my lord is kind, how can he be embarrassed? It's just someone else, I can't guarantee it! Chen Deng's smile was undiminished, but the threat was beyond words.
"Humph! Liu Xuande, is that what you mean? Ignoring Chen Deng, Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei.
"This..."The cold light in Mi Zhu's eyes made Liu Bei a little dazed.
Liu Bei prides himself on being benevolent and righteous, but now it is obviously forced to marry. Although Liu Bei didn't mean this, but the matter has come to this point, whether he has it or not, Mi Zhu will think that he instigated it.
"Phew!" Just when Liu Bei was embarrassed, the big black man beside Liu Bei opened his eyes, slapped the table, and shouted: "The surname Mi, my brother is a nobleman of the imperial family, and it is the honor of your Mi family to fall in love with your sister, if you dare to say half a word, I..."
"How are you? It's so hard that you dare to kill me! Mi Zhu was not to be outdone, and stood opposite to the big man. Although Mi Zhu is a scholar, a gentleman can only deceive him, how can he threaten him with life and death?
"I..." The black man's momentum froze, he really couldn't imagine that a weak scholar would have such courage. Wei Yan, who was standing beside the black man, also looked at Mi Zhu in disbelief. You must know that the black man's martial arts are not below Wei Yan, and even Wei Yan is a little overwhelmed by that momentum.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" After reprimanding the black man, Liu Bei stood up and bowed to Mi Zhu and said, "Zizhong, I didn't mean that, I just..."
"Needless to say! In the next is just a businessman, who is qualified to marry the imperial nobles. Not to mention, my little sister is now in Yizhou, even in Xuzhou, and she is not worthy of you! After three days, I will leave for Yizhou, and if you are dissatisfied with me, you can send someone to rob and kill! Mi Zhu stretched out one hand and said, "Send off!" ”
"Zizhong! Alas! Liu Bei sighed, he never thought it would be like this.
Leaving Mi Mansion with a gift and returning to the Thorn History Mansion, Liu Bei frowned and asked, "Yuan Long, what are you doing?" Not only did he lose face, but he also hated Zizhong! ”
"Lord, Mi Zhu is a great talent, since he can't be used by the lord, he can only kill him to prevent future troubles!" Chen Deng bowed down to speak, and Liu Bei was stunned.
"Kill... Zizhong? Looking at Chen Deng with a smile on his face, Liu Bei didn't seem to know him.
"The lord shall not be kind to a woman!" Seeing Liu Bei's shocked face, Chen Deng was a little dissatisfied.
In Chen Deng's view, there should also be a limit to hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and if it exceeds this limit, it is not a hero, but an idiot. It's a pity that Chen Deng didn't know that Liu Bei in front of him was a model of hypocrisy and hypocrisy to the benevolence of women.
"Yuanlong, you go down first, let me think about it!" Chen Deng's words made Liu Bei very moved, but Liu Bei still couldn't decide, after all, if he couldn't get it, he would be killed, which was not in line with the benevolence and righteousness in Liu Bei's heart. Of course, this is Liu Bei, if Cao Ying is replaced, the ten Mizhu will be gone.
"Alas!" Walking out of the hall, Chen Deng sighed. Perhaps Mi Zhu's talent in military and political affairs is not outstanding, but Mi Zhu can do business. Although the reason why the Mi family has today is that the Mi family's ancestors have accumulated and operated to establish it, since Mi Zhu succeeded to the head of the family, the Mi family's wealth has almost doubled. This is the qualification to be ranked with the Chen family and the Cao family, the old family in Xuzhou.
"Why is Yuanlong sighing?" Looking at Chen Deng, Wei Yan asked with a puzzled expression: "I remember that Yuanlong and Zizhong are friends, why do you have to kill him?" Could it be that Zizhong has offended you? ”
"Second General, do you think I seem like such a superficial person?" Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "Everyone looks down on businessmen, but business is the fastest way to accumulate wealth!" Fighting a war depends on money and food, but Zizhong can double the money and food. If Zizhong took refuge in other princes, maybe I wouldn't be worried, but he took refuge in Liu Zhang! It is said that Liu Zhang is a person who does things whimsically and eclecticly. If he puts Zizhong in charge of the business under his command, with Zizhong's talent, the money and grain in Liu Zhang's hands will definitely be doubled several times! Elite soldiers and fierce generals, sufficient money and food, when the time comes, the princes of the world, who is still Liu Zhang's opponent! ”
"I misunderstood Yuanlong!" Seeing that Chen Deng was actually so ruthless to Mi Zhu for Liu Bei's great cause, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he was a salute to Chen Deng.
"The second general doesn't have to be like this! Maybe the lord's thoughts are the same as the second general! Chen Deng shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.
"Yuanlong slow!" Wei Yan pulled Chen Deng and said, "Let's go!" Go and see the eldest brother, I'll tell you about it! ”
"This..."Chen Deng rolled his eyes and asked Wei Yan: "Second general, the lord cherishes his reputation and doesn't want to be embarrassed, I wonder if the second general is willing to be infamous for the sake of the lord?" ”
"Yuanlong means... Let me not go through the eldest brother and directly lead the troops to rob and kill Mi Zhu? A cold light flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, in his heart, all those who hindered Liu Bei's great cause were enemies!
"Exactly!" Chen Deng said with a smile: "The lord said that he was humiliated in Mi Mansion today, and the second general couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and killed Mi Zhu to vent his anger. After the lord knows, at most he will scold you, and if he doesn't beat you with a military stick, he will never kill you and pay for Mi Zhu's life! In fact, it is better for the three generals to do this, but the three generals are impulsive and reckless, and if they accidentally say it, it will not be good! ”
After staring at Chen Deng for a long time, Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay!" For the sake of the great cause of the eldest brother, why not if I was a wicked person last time! Yuanlong, how do I do it? ”
"Without further ado!" Chen Deng sneered: "I dare to say that Mi Zhu will definitely not leave after three days, and tonight, he will escape." Second general, if you take someone to surround the Mi family and kill Mi Zhu now, he won't be able to escape! ”
"Good!" Wei Yan immediately ordered his guards to gather troops and surrounded Mifu.
"General, what are you doing?" Seeing Wei Yan breaking into the mansion with a knife, the housekeeper of Mi Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to stop him!
"Where's Mi Zhu? Let him come out and see me! Wei Yan kicked the housekeeper away, and the housekeeper vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Wei Yan walked straight into the back house of Mi Mansion, but he didn't see Mi Zhu after looking for a long time.
"Where's Mi Zhu?" Wei Yan dragged a servant over and asked viciously.
"No... I don't know! The servant trembled, fearing that Wei Yan would kill him.
"Take me to Mi Zhu's bedroom!" Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and let go of the servant, who collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Wei Yan snorted coldly, and the servant quickly got up, his legs trembling, and led the way in front.
"General, to... Coming to a room, the servant looked at Wei Yan tremblingly. Wei Yan didn't even look at the servant, kicked the bedroom door open, and walked straight in.
There was still no one in the bedroom, and there seemed to be something pressing on the table in the middle of the bedroom. Wei Yan walked over and took a look, it turned out to be a letter, and the envelope was written with the five big characters 'Chen Yuanlong personally opened'. Since it was a letter to Chen Deng, Wei Yan took the letter and came to Chen Deng's mansion.
Seeing the letter, Chen Deng knew that Mi Zhu had run away. He opened the letter and saw that it was written: "Brother Yuanlong, I know that you will not let me go, so I deliberately said that the time was three days, and then I disguised myself as a servant and went out of the city with the convoy. I know you, just as you know me. See you soon! ”
After reading the letter, Chen Deng shook his head with a smile. Seeing Chen Deng put down the letter, Wei Yan asked, "Yuanlong, do you want me to lead my troops to chase after me?" ”
"It's late!" Chen Deng sighed: "God knows which direction Zizhong went to Yizhou from!" It's good to pass through Qingzhou, if he passes directly through Yanzhou, and you lead the troops to pursue. When the time comes, it will be discovered by Lu Bu and Cao Ying's scouts, and it will be a big trouble! ”
"Then let Mi Zizhong take refuge in Liu Zhang?" Wei Yan was unwilling, after all, Mi Zhu is not only talented, but also wealthy!
Chen Deng smiled: "This is also a helpless thing!" However, after such a fuss, Mi Zhu still has most of his family wealth not taken away, you can take someone to receive Mi Jia's wealth, and you can also replenish some military supplies! ”
"This..."Wei Yan was a little hesitant, if Mi Zhu died, let alone take away the Mi family's money, it would be to slaughter the Mi family, and outsiders would have nothing to say, but Mi Zhu was not dead after all, and he also took refuge in Liu Zhang, if he took the Mi family's wealth, and then let Mi Zhu publicize Liu Bei's forced marriage, Liu Bei's reputation would be over!
"General Wei doesn't have to worry!" Chen Deng said with a smile: "Mi Zhu is a gentleman, and he will never use this as a means." As for the forced marriage, it was done by the three generals, the lord didn't speak, and Mi Zhu didn't say much, you can rest assured to receive the Mi family's wealth! ”
"Just according to what Yuanlong said!" Wei Yan turned and left.
"Alas!" After Wei Yan left, Chen Deng sighed deeply, he was not sorry for not being able to kill Mi Zhu, but worried about the image in Liu Bei's heart. To put it mildly, this time, Chen Deng is a traitor to seek glory!
Xuzhou Assassin Mansion, Wei Yan reported the seized Mi family's property to Liu Bei, and the huge number shocked Liu Bei. Suddenly, Liu Bei somewhat understood Chen Deng! This is only a small part of the Mi family's property, if the Mi family has full help, how much money will it take. However, there is still a thorn in Liu Bei's heart, that is, Chen Deng's betrayal of Mi Zhu.
"Second brother!" Liu Bei was quite unhappy in his heart, and he asked Wei Yan, "What do you think of Chen Deng?" ”
"A man of loyalty and wisdom can be of great use!" Wei Yan didn't think about it, and replied directly in a low voice.
"What?" Liu Bei thought that he had heard it wrong, he looked at Wei Yan, and Wei Yan said what Chen Deng said to Liu Bei again.
"I'm wrong about Yuanlong!" Liu Bei said with a look of remorse: "Second brother, third brother, prepare gifts, I want to make amends to Yuanlong!" ”
When Wei Yan heard this, he immediately presented the prepared gift and said, "I have already prepared it for my eldest brother!" Yuanlong is a great talent, if he can get his heartfelt help, and then get the power of the Chen family, the eldest brother will be able to achieve great things! ”
