These days, Xu Zheng's mood is not very good. The news from the front made him frightened, from Liu Feng's battle against Huang in the river to Liu Feng's shooting of Huang Zu, to Liu Biao's attack on Jiangxia.

All the news made Xu Zheng's heart tremble, you must know that his younger brother Xu Tian was an official under Liu Feng's account, if this Liu Feng was defeated, wouldn't Xu Tian suffer?

For this younger brother, Xu Zheng loved him, otherwise he would not have recommended Xu Tian to Liu Feng, who was a major general. I just don't want to, the situation has changed abruptly, and Liu Feng's fall is too fast, too fast.

The swift Xu Zheng didn't have time to react, and Liu Feng took the account of Wenwu and left Xinye.

At this time, Xu Zheng didn't even go to the yamen, but just sat at home, looking worried.

"Uncle is a blessed person, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, don't worry too much." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but comfort her husband when she saw that her husband didn't even go to the yamen, but only sat at home, worried about her brother's safety.

"My brother is the most clever and experienced. When it comes to ordinary things, I don't have to worry about it, but this is a military matter, and it is the most impermanent. How many generals have been folded on the battlefield, let alone him? Xu Zhengzheng was upset, listening to his wife's comfort, he couldn't help but be more annoyed and impatient.

"But the young general is not an ordinary famous general, he knows how to serve as a young man, swept away countless water thieves, won a big victory in a battle with yellow shooting, and killed Huang Zu with arrows in a battle. It can be said that he has won a hundred battles, and maybe he can defeat Wenpin in this battle. Seeing her husband pouting, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"What do women know?" Xu Zheng was angry, this general is indeed a hundred victories, but there are not a few famous generals who lost in the first battle. Defeated in a war, a lifetime of fame was lost. Dead on the battlefield.

The husband and wife were talking, but they heard a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house. Then a male voice rang out, "Master, the lord sent someone to summon you." ”

"My lord?" Xu Zheng was shocked in his heart, and had some bad premonitions. Although he is an important adjutant under Mi Zhu's account, he is also a small official who is not in the stream, and he has never been summoned by Liu Bei alone.

What is the reason for this sudden summons? It must be Xu Tian's business.

Xu Zheng kicked in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay. Let his wife prepare her formal clothes, bring the Han crown, and then go out neatly.

There are few new mustangs, and there are no carriages to ride unless important people do. Xu Zheng is a small official and has an ox cart.

Liu Bei is a banner and a signboard. He doesn't use territory or power, but he can accumulate a group of backbones with his reputation, such as Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and other wise courtiers, such as Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other middle-class people, as well as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other tens of thousands of enemies who have proven their ability on the battlefield.

Xu Zheng was not Liu Bei's old department, but followed Liu Bei halfway. I have never seen Liu Bei a few times in my life, and I thought that I would meet Liu Bei and other characters alone. It may be because of his younger brother Xu Tian.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but think about it in his heart, and he was uneasy.

With this mood, Xu Zheng took an ox cart to the outside of the Taishou Mansion. After getting off the ox cart, Xu Zheng humbly revealed his identity to the guards guarding the gate.

It seems that it has already been explained. As soon as the guards guarding the gate saw Xu Zheng's identity, they bowed down and asked Xu Zheng to enter without notifying.

This is a treatment that only Liu Bei's close ministers will enjoy, such as Zhuge Liang, the former Xu Shu, and Sun Qianjian Yong and others. In the past, Xu Zheng still had some hot eyes, but when it really happened to him, he became apprehensive.

Coupled with the previous anxiety, Xu Zheng's heart was even more bottomless.

may also know that Xu Zheng entered the Taishou Mansion for the first time, and the road conditions are not familiar. Among the guards in front of the door, a person came out to lead the way for Xu Zheng, and along the way, Xu Zheng lowered his head, looked at his toes very humbly, and walked forward.

Soon, Xu Tian was led by the guards to Liu Bei's study.

"Your Excellency, please." The guard stopped outside the door and bent over.

"Thank you." Xu Zheng hugged his fists at the guard, and then looked up at the study, only to feel full of unknowns.

Stretching out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. After pausing for a moment, Xu Zheng gritted his teeth and walked in.

In the study, Liu Bei was waiting for Xu Zheng to arrive, and when he heard a slight footstep, he couldn't help but look up. Seeing Xu Zheng cautiously walking towards this side, he couldn't help but nod.

As long as it's a coward.

"Xu Zheng, a subordinate who is engaged in the Mizhu tent, pays a visit to the lord." After entering the study, Xu Zheng didn't look up at Liu Bei's guts, but just lowered his head and bowed.

"Sir, please."

"No." Liu Bei's generous voice sounded in his ears, Xu Zheng felt at ease for no reason, and after making a promise, he straightened up and looked at Liu Bei.

I saw the person sitting in front of him, with a generous expression and a peaceful expression. But it was strange that he had such a generous expression, but he exuded an aura that was not angry and arrogant. It makes people's hearts awe-inspiring.

Xu Zheng's eyebrows jumped, and after glancing at Liu Bei, he quickly lowered his head.

"Mr. has been under my account for several years, and I often hear Mi Zhu praise Mr. for his rigorous and talented errands." Sensing the awe-inspiring in Xu Zheng's heart, Liu Bei couldn't help but glance at Xu Zheng generously and said with a smile.

"Xu Zheng is stupid, and he should not be so praised by Mr. Mi Zhu." Xu Zheng was cautious, and he did not get carried away because of Liu Bei's words.

"Hehe, talent or not, I naturally know in my heart. Rewarded with the merit of Mr. Liu Bei did not allow Xu Zheng to refuse, and after speaking, he raised his head and said: "Reward 100 gold, ten pieces of brocade cloth, take it as an example." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Liu Bei's performance was undoubted, so Xu Zheng had no choice but to bend down and thank him.

"Hehe, this is what Mr. deserves, you don't have to be polite." Liu Bei smiled and said. After a pause, Liu Bei changed his words and said, "I heard that Mr. has this talent, which is a family heirloom. I also heard that there is a younger brother under Mr., surnamed Xu Mingtian, who is talented. There is still a lack of an official under my account, the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, I wonder if Mr. thinks Ling Brother can be competent? ”

This is obviously asking Xu Zheng's opinion, but in fact, he is forcing Xu Zheng to make a decision.

Countless sweat immediately broke out on Xu Zheng's forehead, there were only two small officials under Liu Feng's account, Xu Zheng didn't believe that Liu Bei would not know that his younger brother Xu Tian was currently in Jiangxia and was an important official of Liu Feng.

Since Liu Bei knew, he asked knowingly. It seems that his younger brother has great talent and has the heart to recruit. Isn't this forcing him to recall Xu Tian as a brother?

Xu Zheng was an official and used to be a businessman. Although he was taken by Liu Bei's momentum for a while, his mind was definitely not small, and his brain was also active. Otherwise, when Liu Feng was the first general, he would have given his younger brother a race.

It has been realized that it is definitely not simple at this time.

If he wanted, Xu Zheng would never recall Xu Tian as a brother, although Xu Zheng loved his younger brother, he paid more attention to his younger brother's own choices. When Xu Tian followed Liu Feng to leave, Xu Tian concealed Xu Zheng.

It also represents Xu Tian's determination to follow Liu Feng.

How could Xu Zheng stop a man from following a recognized monarch to the troubled times where heroes come in.

Therefore, Xu Zheng hesitated, and the more he hesitated, the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

At first, Liu Bei was reluctant to force Xu Zheng, but seeing that Xu Zheng did not respond for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little displeased, and said in a cold voice: "Why is Mr. hesitating?" ”

Xu Zheng was full of excitement, although the person in front of him was famous all over the world, but after all, he was a generation of heroes, and he knew that if he didn't agree at this moment, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

couldn't help but say immediately: "On behalf of my younger brother, I thank the lord for his praise." Speaking of this, Xu Zheng paused, and said: "If it is an ordinary position, it is enough to be competent." ”

"That's very good. I hope to see Brother Dao Ling within ten days. Liu Bei's face immediately turned good, and he said with a smile.

"He will live up to the expectations of his lord." Since he has agreed, Xu Zheng is of course full of words.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Liu Bei will no longer talk nonsense with Xu Zheng. After a few words of encouragement, he played Xu Zheng and went out.

After Xu Zheng left, Liu Bei's face immediately returned to gloomy, and after sitting for a while, he muttered: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu heard that you are like a god with soldiers, and I have done everything you can for you, you must help me pull out this nail." ”

Now Liu Feng has been valued by Liu Bei, and he did not hesitate to plot to cut off Liu Feng's arm.

did not mention Liu Bei, who was conceited and conspiracy succeeded, only said that after Xu Zheng left the study. I just feel in a trance, how this should be good, how is it good.

Does he really want to stop his brother's ambition and prevent a man from starting a business in this troubled world?

remembered that it was he who pushed Xu Tian onto Liu Feng's ship at the beginning, and now he wants to get Xu Tian down with his own hands. Liu Zheng only felt pain like a knife in his heart.

He loved Xu Tian, and Xu Tian respected him. He knew that if he wrote a letter to Jiangxia, his younger brother would definitely return.

After Xu Tian comes back, what kind of face does my brother have to face my brother?

In a trance, Xu Zheng suddenly heard a conversation with a low voice.

"I heard that the thief Liu Feng Jinyi crossed the river, and one person retired and hired 10,000 elites. And Liu Jingzhou has ordered to appoint Liu Feng as Jiangxia Taishou to replace Huang Zu to guard the east. ”

"It's really fake, didn't Liu Feng leave Xinye because of his personal morality? And he killed Huang Zu, so is Liu Biao confused, appointing such a person as Jiangxia's Taishou? ”

"Who knows if Liu Jingzhou is confused, but my news is absolutely reliable. I heard that the lord said that the ministers were feasting today, and after hearing the news, he brushed his sleeves and left. ”

"Sheng, we can talk about Liu Biao's affairs when we are free, don't talk about this lord's affairs. It's going to get you in trouble. ”

"Yes, yes. Thank you brother for the point. ”

Although it was only a few short words, it caused an uproar in Xu Zheng's heart.

I see, I see. Liu Feng is too guarded in Jiangxia, and his power is greater than Liu Bei, so Liu Bei was vigilant and arranged means to deal with Liu Feng.

At the same time as the monstrous waves in his heart, Xu Zheng thought of a way, a way to get out of Liu Bei's control.

With a slam of his body, he raised his head and walked straight towards the gate.
