Chapter 40: The Loyal Servants of the Ancients

Liu Bei returned to his mansion in Xu Du, his mind was still in chaos, today's events are really incomprehensible, what does Cao Cao want to do? Beat yourself up with this? It's chaos, it's really chaos!

Just when Liu Bei was thinking hard, Zhang Fei shouted outside the door: "Big brother, I caught this ungrateful thing for you, big brother, come out, come out quickly!" ”

Hearing Zhang Fei's shout, Liu Bei hurriedly ran out, only to see Mi Zhu being tied up by Zhang Fei and escorted over, seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Fei shouted: "Big brother, look, I stook this ungrateful thing over!" ”

Liu Bei looked at it, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Third brother, what are you doing?" Don't let Zizhong go yet, presumptuous, too presumptuous! ”

Hearing Liu Bei's reprimand, Zhang Fei's eyes widened and asked, "Big brother, his sister is Cao Cao's daughter-in-law, and we were all sold, why do you want to let him go?" ”

Liu Bei slapped him and scolded: "Third brother, presumptuous!" Let Zizhong go, otherwise I will be dealt with by military law! ”

Zhang Fei covered his face, angrily swiped with a dagger, and the rope on Mi Zhu's body was taken off, Mi Zhu touched his arms, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, Zizhong is ashamed!" ”

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and said lightly: "Zizhong, come in with me." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu entered the study, leaving Zhang Fei and Guan Yu behind, Zhang Fei rubbed his face and said, "Second brother? Why don't you say a word for me! ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Third brother, you are too reckless, you have to exercise more." (Mi Zhu?) Are you really a traitor? )

After Liu Bei entered the study, he sat down separately with Mi Zhu, and Liu Bei asked, "Zizhong's sister, is it really Cao Mengde's daughter-in-law?" ”

"This?"

"Lord, Zizhong also just learned that the sister has become Cao Ang's wife, lord? Mi Zhu? ”

"Zizhong doesn't need to say much, Xuande knows, Zizhong is also helpless, with the news of his sister, Zizhong still went to Cao Cao to ask for an official position, Xuande didn't force him to stay, but thinking of his friendship with Zizhong in Xuzhou, Xuande couldn't help but feel sad." After speaking, Liu Bei began to wipe his tears and looked at Mi Zhu sadly. Liu Bei's world is really crying!

Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei crying, and was very moved, and then fell to his knees on the ground and said: "Lord, the lord has the grace of knowing Zizhong, Zizhong will live up to the lord, please don't say such things again, Zizhong swears allegiance to the lord!" ”

Liu Bei grabbed Mi Zhu's hand and said with tears streaming down his face: "Xuande will not live up to Zizhong!" ”

Then, the two sat down holding hands, and Mi Zhu said, "Lord, Zizhong heard that you are in trouble in Sikong Mansion?" ”

Liu Bei told him what happened to Sikong Mansion, and then asked, "Zizhong?" You say, what is Cao Cao trying to do? Kill our brothers, just do it, why bother? ”

After Mi Zhu heard this, he smiled and said, "Lord, it is estimated that Cao Cao is not clear about this matter, it should be completely done by Lu Rui's kid." ”

"Lu Rui? Is that the little marquis, Cao Cao's adopted son? ”

"Yes, the lord, Lu Rui, Cao Cao's adopted son, has been smart since he was a child, not easy to learn, only likes strange skills, and is particularly fond of rare and strange things, and because of his merit in saving Cao Song, he is extremely favored in the Cao family, so the lord should be the lord of the three brothers, the weapons are famous all over the world, Lu Rui is greedy, and there is a matter of Sikong Mansion."

"What?" Liu Bei was speechless, he knew that this was the case, he must have fought for reason, and asked for the weapon back, speechless, really speechless, the weapons of his three brothers were gone.

Liu Bei sighed and said, "What a miscalculation, I was actually calculated by a child, Zizhong, how do you think I should deal with myself in Xudu?" ”

"Lord, when I heard about my lord's performance in the hunting ground, my lord's heart is already a mirror, why bother asking Zizhong?"

"Hahahaha, the one who knows me, Zi Zhongye!"

"Childe, the eldest prince has brought Mrs. Mi to see Childe."

Cao Ang is here? Come and see yourself, which one is this? Cao Ang is much older than Cao Pi and others, much bigger than himself, he has long been fighting with Cao Cao in the south and north, there is a generation gap, it is definitely not like Cao Pi and others running with Lu Rui's ass, just a brother with rules, there is no intersection, how can he come to see himself today?

Lu Rui changed a set of clothes and went out to see Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family, who may be Cao Cao's heir in the future, to build a good relationship.

"Hello brother!"

"Brother Rui is here? My brother went home today, just to see Brother Rui. ”

Isn't it, when did Cao Ang become so diligent, grandma's, Xiao Cao's attentive face is the same as his wife Cao Yaomou's own face, and it is really two fathers and sons! Nothing to do, be diligent, either treacherous or thief!

"Sister-in-law!"

"Hello Brother Rui!"

Mi is also here? "Brother hasn't seen me for a long time, he has been fighting everywhere with his father, and he has already paid homage to the general, and the younger brother is here to congratulate his brother!"

"Thank you Brother Rui for your concern, my brother came here today and asked for something."

Hehe, there's really something. "Brother, please say, if the younger brother can do it, he must share his worries for the elder brother."

"Brother Rui knows that Mi Zhu, the elder brother of the Mi family, has arrived in Xudu."

"The younger brother knows that Mi Zhu has arrived in Xu Capital with Liu Bei, and the middle father is also ready to give Mi Zhu an official position."

"Brother Rui, you also know that the Mi family entered my Cao family, and his brother didn't know it, today my father invited Mi Zhu to Sikong Mansion to meet, and my brother wanted to express to Mi Zhu, I heard that Brother Rui has a lot of treasures in his hands?"

Looking at Cao Ang's appearance, Lu Rui was speechless, didn't he just want to please his brother-in-law, and he needed to be so attentive? Lao Cao and Xiao Cao are both this virtue, just like the old bustard!

Lu Rui smiled and said, "I see, I don't know what my brother wants?" As long as the younger brother has it, it must be given to the elder brother. "Mi Zhu is very rich in the world, there should be no shortage of anything, what will Mi Zhu like?

Mi said: "Brother Rui, the brother of the concubine has only one hobby, he likes to collect ancient tiger talismans, especially the tiger talismans of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period. ”

Isn't it, Mi Zhu actually likes to collect this? Tiger Talisman? The only credential of the ancient commanders, Mi Zhu actually likes to collect this? He is polite, is he sullen and likes to fight? It won't be a masochistic type, I like to run around with Liu Da'er.

Lu Rui said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, go, bring the little red box in my room." "There is a tiger talisman of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States period that Cao Jin handed over to Lu Rui.

The small box was placed in front of Lu Rui, and after Lu Rui took out a tiger talisman, he said: "Brother, this is the best preserved and most exquisite piece of tiger talisman in the hands of the younger brother, and the younger brother will give it to the elder brother." ”

Cao Ang happily took the tiger talisman and said, "Thank you, Brother Rui, my brother will remember it." After saying that, he left with Mi.

In the evening, Cao Cao held a family banquet, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to invite Mi Zhu to come and sit down, so that Mi could talk to him about his brother and sister.

After the dinner, singing and dancing took to the stage. Cao Cao began to speak, Cao Cao said to Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, in the past, Zizhong's sister was robbed outside Xuzhou, Rui'er came to the rescue, because I didn't know that it was Zizhong's sister, and brought it back to Cao's mansion. ”

Mi Zhu looked at Cao Cao, Cao Mengde? Rescue? Let's put it nicely, my sister was snatched by you, hum! I must avenge this revenge!

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Zizhong is grateful to the little marquis, not only saved the life of the sister, but also found such a home for her." ”

Lao Cao, can you be kind, say that I have also found a daughter-in-law for you, can you omit my part? Mi Zhu is not easy to bully, he is a big businessman! Lu Rui also said with a smiling face: "Lord Mi is polite, and this marquis is also a guide to help when he sees injustice." ”

Cao Cao chatted with Mi Zhu for a while, then left and handed it over to Cao Ang and his wife, after all, Mi Zhu's sister is Cao Ang's wife, and it is time to let Cao Ang do it when he gathers talents.

After Cao Cao left, Cao Ang arched his hand and said: "Brother Zizhong, Zi Xiu is here to give Brother Zi Zhong a cup, Brother Zi Zhong came to Xu Du, Zi Xiu has been slack, please forgive Brother Zi Zhong!" ”

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Zixiu is polite, Zixiu has become Zizhong's brother-in-law, Zizhong's sister still needs Zixiu to take care of it!" ”

Mi Zhu was very cold, Cao Ang took out the tiger talisman and said: "Brother Zizhong, Mi is my wife, Zixiu must take good care of it, Brother Zizhong, this is my gift to you!" After speaking, let the subordinates send the tiger talisman over.

Mi Zhu saw the tiger talisman, his eyes lit up, good thing, this is a good thing!

Cao Ang saw Mi Zhu's happy appearance, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zizhong, my father intends to recruit Brother Zizhong into Sikong Mansion, I don't know what Brother Zizhong wants?" ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he glanced at Cao Ang and said: "Zixiu, Maxima is often there, Bole is not often, Zizhong is appreciated by Xuande Gong, and only hopes to follow Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong and Sikong Lord are both working for the Han Dynasty, isn't it the same whether Zizhong comes to Sikong Mansion or not?" ”

Cao Ang was asked, speechless, the Cao family works for the Han Dynasty, and I Mi Zhu works for the Han Dynasty, and it is the same whether I come to Sikong Mansion or not.

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Zixiu, do you know the origin of this tiger talisman?" This tiger talisman is the Warring States Xinling Jun Tiger Talisman, today I only accept half of the tiger talisman, half of the piece left in the little sister, I hope as a token of my brother and sister, farewell! ”

After speaking, he ignored Mi's call and left alone.

Looking at Mi Zhu's distant figure, Lu Rui shook his head, the one who died for his confidant died, and he was really a loyal person! Mi Zhu died to serve Liu Bei, for what? Name? Cao Cao can give. Sharp? Mi Zhu is not short of money. I'm afraid it's for the sake of this sympathy between myself and Liu Bei. Thinking of this, Lu Rui couldn't help but admire Mi Zhu, a loyal minister of the ancients!

After Cao Cao heard about Mi Zhu, he also admired Mi Zhu very much, loyal ministers, he has always been admirable, Xinling Jun's tiger talisman? Xinlingjun and King Wei are brothers, but they disobeyed the order to surround Wei to save Zhao, and the brothers are not in harmony, this is also Mi Zhu's answer to himself, Cao Mengde, although my sister is the daughter-in-law of you, I am not willing to be loyal to you!
