Liao Li was very excited, really excited.

On the one hand, it is because of the despair of the current floods and almost extinction. The second is because of Xu Shu.

Liao Li never forgot that he went to Xu Shu and persuaded Xu Shu to join forces against Zhuge Liang, but Xu Shu refused with a flat face.

In Liao Li's opinion, Xu Shu is not giving face. It was contempt for him.

Who is he now? The main book, Liu Bei's right-hand man, and Xinye's important minister. A man who has lost his power should despise him.

At that moment, Liao Li felt unprecedented humiliation. vowed to drive Xu Shu away.

Now, here's the opportunity.

Liao Li didn't think deeply about what would happen to the talented Xu Shu to meet Liu Feng, he just wanted to drive Xu Shu away and wash away the shame he had had.

Consolidate your position.

Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang. Until he dominated Xinye, he truly became the most important minister under Liu Bei. Then he assisted Liu Bei to capture Xiangyang, occupy Jingzhou, and eliminate Liu Feng.

That's right, that's right, and Liu Feng. When Jiang Xia encountered, he couldn't be molested, but was molested.

Liao Li always remembered this shame.

When I gain the upper hand, I plan to attack Xiangyang. Eliminate Jiangxia, eliminate Jiangxia.

The more Liao Li thought about it, the more excited he became, the blood all over his body was trembling, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, but it was very strange that outsiders couldn't see anything famous.

At this moment, Shinno Castle is on the way to Xu Shu's mansion.

Liao Li's carriage was surrounded by more than ten guards in the middle, and on the carriage, Liao Li knelt and sat with a very natural expression and a very beautiful posture.

It has been several days since the flood was issued, and the flood in Xinye City has receded. Although the road is still wet, it does not affect the speed of travel.

Soon, the carriage came to the gate of Xu Shu's mansion.

Similar to last time, Liao Li sent someone to knock on the door. Soon, the door creaked open. The porter's face was revealed from the inside.

"Mr. Liao." Liao Li came once, and the porter remembered that he bent down and saluted.

"Go and report it." Liao Li said lightly.

"No." The porter answered, and hurried towards the house. After a moment, he walked out again. "Sir, please." The porter opened the door and saluted.

"Hmm." Liao Li responded, turned around and explained to the guards, and strode in. The porter hurried to follow. Soon, Liao Li, under the leadership of the gatekeeper, came to the outside of the study.

He paused outside the door for a moment and tidied up his appearance. Liao Li walked in with his chest straight.

In the study, Xu Shu just put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked up at the door.

He was dressed in a milky white robe, with a crown on his head, and his expression was indifferent.

In fact, Xu Shu was a little surprised by Liao Li's arrival, and he should have clearly refused last time. Why did you come this time?

For Liao Li, Xu Shu was very unimpressed, and even the etiquette of getting up to greet him was waived.

When Liao Li stepped into the study, he saw Xu Shu kneeling and sitting, his expression was faint, and he didn't mean to greet him at all. The corners of Liao Li's mouth twitched.

Immediately, he squeezed out a sincere smile and stepped forward and said, "Brother Yuan." ”

"Gong Yuan." Xu Shu raised his fist and saluted. After all that, there is nothing more to follow.

"Huh." Liao Li was annoyed in his heart, but a laugh came out of his face, and he came to the side seat and sat down. Raised his fist and said: "There are some things to discuss with Yuanzhi." ”

"Say." Xu Shu still said simply.

"A few days ago, the torrential rain fell sharply, causing the city to be flooded, and I believe Yuan Zhi also saw it." Liao Li sighed.

"If there's something, just say it." Xu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little impatient.

In Xu Shu's eyes, Liao Li is like a clown, and he is also a clown who pretends to worry about the country and the people. If it weren't for Xu Shu's cultivation of his surname that has increased a lot over the years, he would have been driven out of the country for a while.

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't eat this, Liao Li put away his look of worrying about the country and the people. sneered and said, "Then Zhuge Liang made a statement to the lord and asked Jiang Xia for measure." Mi Zhu has already gone, and Liu Feng has also agreed to the lord's request, but with some conditions. ”

"About me?" Xu Shu's heart moved and asked.

"Brother Yuan taught a filial student." Liao Li said with a smile, and then said: "That's right, Liu Feng's request is Yuan Zhi, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan." ”

Xu Shu was happy in his heart at first, he knew that Liu Feng was a humble and filial person. also knows that Liu Feng will be thinking about him.

But when he suddenly heard that Liu Feng was going to pick him up, Xu Shu couldn't help but be happy.

It's just that Xu Shu's heart was replaced by a sadness.

Sad that I have no eyes. Since Liao Li is here, and he has also told him the conditions, then Liu Bei must have agreed.

Although Xu Shu knew that he was definitely not long ahead of Liu Bei's power, when this moment came, he still couldn't help but be sad.

From valuing, relying on, to alienating, abandoning.

In just one year, Xu Shu thought that he had tried his best to plan for Liu Bei, and used the strategy to repel Cao Ren's attack.

I just think it's ridiculous.

Xu Shu's face flashed a little self-deprecating and a little sad. And the indescribable bitterness.

Xu Shu's expression was complicated, and in Liao Li's opinion, it was like a dead face.

Think about it, too, being a strategist has been abandoned by the monarch. His face was lost, and he simply committed suicide.

Looking at Xu Shu's face, Liao Li's heart swelled with pride. I am Liu Bei's most relied on minister. If you dare to defy me, be prepared to be driven away.

The expression on Xu Shu's face only lasted for a moment, and after a while, it returned to normal. Xu Shu had long known that this moment would come, and he was very prepared.

Just now, it was just a sudden change in mood. At this moment, the emotions have been reined in.

That indifferent look made Liao Li a little disappointed.

"Gongyuan rest assured, I immediately bid farewell to the lord and set off for Jiangxia." Xu Shu said lightly. In Xu Shu's view, being a man always needs to have a beginning and an end.

When he defected, he resigned now.

"No, no." Liao Li shook his head and said softly: "This matter, the lord doesn't want too many people to know, you don't have to go to the lord to say goodbye, and you don't have to leave immediately." ”

"After the items given by the lord arrive, Yuan Zhi and Zhao Yun will leave again."

Xu Shu was so wise that he immediately realized what Liao Li meant. It's just to let outsiders see that they are turning their backs on Liu Bei in the flood, so as to hide Liu Bei's unrighteous behavior of selling his subordinates.

Some anger suddenly rose in Xu Shu's heart.

I don't let you walk clean. And let me be burdened with notoriety. However, Xu Shu was in a trance and returned to the scene when he went to Liu Bei in high spirits.

That's it, that's it. This is the last thing I will do for you, and you and I will never be related from now on.

Thinking about it, the anger in Xu Shu's heart gradually dissipated.

Xu Shu raised his head and said lightly: "In this way, Gongyuan arranges it." ”

It's kind of knowledgeable. Liao Li was a little satisfied with Xu Shu's knowledge of current affairs.

"So, I'll take my leave." Liao stood up and said.

"No." Xu Shu said that he would not send it, and he really did not send it, and he didn't even have any intention of getting up.

The satisfaction in Liao Li's heart immediately vanished, he glanced at Xu Shu coldly, snorted coldly, and walked away.

"Villain." Xu Shu sneered. got up and found a henchman butler, asked him to prepare his bags, leave Xinye at any time, and go to Jiangxia.

"Master is going to Jiangxia?" The butler said in amazement.

"Yes, go to my disciple." Xu Shu smiled slightly and said.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Xia. I don't know, that disciple, how is it now. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the kid who didn't have any advantage at the beginning is now a prince.

And also a more powerful prince.

Liu Bei's estrangement made Xu Shu closer to Liu Feng.

It can be said that going to Jiangxia is something that Xu Shu has been looking forward to for a long time.

Xu Shu knew that he was about to usher in a stage, a bigger stage than Xinye. And the person who set up the stage was his disciple.

He can show his talents to the fullest and realize his ambitions.

Assist Mingjun. Establish the foundation of the world.

After Liu Feng left, he was snubbed by Liu Bei for a year, estranged for a year, and silent for a year. I thought it was as light as water.

But at this moment, a surging force involuntarily rose in Xu Shu's body.

When he was a teenager, he learned martial arts and was brave and ruthless. When he was young, he went south to study and gave up martial arts to study literature. When he was nearly middle-aged, he was successful in his studies.

It's brave and ruthless, but it's only ten enemies. A general is a general, but he is an enemy of 10,000 people.

Isn't studying literature just for the ambition in your heart? And now, the time has come.

Compared with Xu Shu's mood in another village, Zhao Yun's mood is another situation.

Just now, Liao Li came and left. I said something similar to what I told Zhao Yun and Xu Shu.

Zhao Yun is really dead-hearted.

Why? Why?

In the barracks, Zhao Yun's handsome face was full of unwillingness and pain. His eyes were red, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the backs of his hands were bulging.

Why, why.

Zhao Yun kept asking himself why.

When he was in Youzhou, Liu Bei was relatively close to him. Later, Gongsun Chan was defeated, and Zhao Yun chose to wander and met Liu Bei by chance.

At that time, Zhao Yun immediately worshiped Liu Bei and vowed to follow Liu Bei.

But later Zhao Yun found out that Liu Bei didn't trust him. It's a gut feeling. Zhao Yun once asked himself, why, why.

But Zhao Yun was naturally loyal and soon forced himself to forget this. He devoted himself to the training of the army.

Liu Bei's three hundred cavalry was Zhao Yun's hard work. And Zhao Yun trained this cavalry in order to make achievements for Liu Bei to see, and there was no doubt about his ability and loyalty.

But at this moment, the persistence and loyalty in Zhao Yun's heart collapsed. Collapsed with a bang.

Why, why did his efforts result this way?

Zhao Yun knew and knew the difficulties of Xinye now. Therefore, when he learned that Liu Bei was going to raise troops to attack Xu Huang, he desperately trained his soldiers.

He can go to the battlefield with Liu Bei.

However, this determination cannot be exchanged for trust.

A small amount of grain, 200,000 stone of grain, sold him. He's a man, not a commodity.

Zhao Yun is a natural general, if he meets a lord he likes, if he encounters a desperate situation, he will definitely not survive.

A long sword, just wiped the neck.

But Zhao Yun doesn't even have a chance to wipe his neck now, who is loyal to him after wiping his neck? For Liu Bei? Joke. Liu Bei is going to sell him to exchange for food, if he wipes his neck now. Not only will he not get Liu Bei's favor, but he will be spurned by Liu Bei.

"Ridiculous. Amusing. Zhao Yun's clenched fist loosened.

His face was dead and his eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul.

Xu Shu and Zhao Yun asked Liu Bei to resign and wanted to go south.

This news swept through the entire Xinye like a hurricane.

There are those who spurn, and there are those who envy. There are those who fear, and there are those who do not believe.

Now the flood in Xinye, it is the time of life and death, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Shu and Zhao Yunnai are important ministers, heavy generals, at this time, regardless of the thought of the favor, swear allegiance, and Liu Bei live and die, but flee. Ungrateful.

So spit on.

South. These two words have many people thinking about them. Because Liu Feng is in Jiangxia, and Xu Shu is Liu Feng's teacher, where to go south.

Be vividly portrayed. So there are people who envy. After all, Jiangxia is much better than Xinye. In the land of Xinye projectiles, Jiangxia cities are lined with thousands of miles deep.

In this era, the emphasis is on the emperor's teacher, the emperor's friend, and the emperor's minister.

Simply put, the best thing is to be the emperor's teacher, Rongzhi. The second class is to be a friend of the emperor, and it is equally honorable. The most important is to be the courtier of the emperor. Although it looks pretty good, it's far worse than the two grades above.

When there is chaos today, Liu Feng, as a prince, is like a soil emperor.

Xu Shu is the identity of the emperor.

How can you not envy, how can you not envy?

Now Liu Feng sits in three counties and has tens of thousands of armor. The population was 800,000. The soldiers are well fed. If you add Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?

This is the mind of the fearful.

As for the unbelievers.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, they didn't believe it, they didn't believe that Xu Shu would run away, but they were all silent.

Zhuge Liang didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Xu Shu would carry Liu Bei on his back. Zhuge Liang has a deep understanding of this friend's surname and ability.

I also firmly believe that one day, Liu Bei will abandon his dislike and reuse Xu Shu.

But at this moment, at this moment, his friend was actually leaving, and at this time of internal and external troubles, he chose to go to Jiangxia.

Doesn't he know what kind of notoriety this is going to bear?

Only a few people knew about Liu Feng's deal with Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang certainly didn't know that his friend had been sold.

In Liu Bei's heart, it is worth selling Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, who are already disloyal, in exchange for 200,000 grains in exchange for vitality after the flood.

Zhuge Liang didn't know, he didn't know Liu Bei's thoughts.

Therefore, the first person he went to find was Xu Shu. But Xu Shu didn't see Zhuge Liang. The door is closed and not visible.

Zhuge Liang was unwilling, he went to find Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei's reply to Zhuge Liang made Zhuge Liang's heart even cooler.

Liu Bei means that now that the situation is critical, it is common sense for Xu Shu and Zhao Yun to leave, so it is good to gather and disperse. Not only to let him go, but also to give Xu Shu a coil and reward. And send away amicably.

This sounded a little unbelievable to Zhuge Liang's ears.

The talent with outstanding ability and ability to write and martial arts was just let go?

Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it, but in the hearts of others, he praised Liu Bei's benevolence.

Listen, what is magnanimity, this is called magnanimity. For those who betray, Liu Bei can also tolerate it. And it is kind and angry.

Anyway, selling Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, Liu Bei not only did not damage his reputation, but repaired the reputation lost in Liu Feng's hands, and faintly improved it.

Therefore, Liu Bei felt that this deal was a good deal.
