The snow had been falling all day, and after nightfall, it had become a little smaller, but it had not stopped.

Assassin's Mansion, the lobby of the government office.

As the hour approached, the lobby was still brightly lit.

Ouyang Jing sat alone in the hall, meditating with his eyes closed, digesting the inheritance left by Lu Bu.

Suddenly, Lu Lingqi's voice came from outside the hall: "Father, the messenger is here." ”

Ouyang Jinghuo opened his eyes, the golden light in his eyes flashed, and then disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, Liu Bei sent a messenger here!" ”

Although Liu Bei is a hero, he has a heroic habit of generosity, benevolence and righteousness.

Ouyang Jing arrested the four children of Liu Bei's second and third brothers, how could Liu Bei be indifferent? Someone will be sent to negotiate.

"Messenger, please." Ouyang Jing sat upright and said in a deep voice.

Soon, footsteps sounded, and Lu Lingqi took the lead in leading the way, a mysterious person dressed in a black hooded coat and a black scarf masked, with a stiff back, followed her step by step and walked into the lobby.

After bringing this mysterious messenger in, Lu Lingqi nodded to Ouyang Jing, turned back to the outside of the gate, closed the door with his backhand, raised his shield and sword, and guarded the door of the lobby alone.

Ouyang Jing stared at the mysterious envoy who bowed his head and bowed his back, and even his eyes were hidden in the shadows, and said, "There are only you and me here, and my daughter is personally guarding the door, so the envoy doesn't need to worry about leaking the news." Why don't you remove the disguise and let the general see the true face of the envoy? ”

The mysterious messenger did not speak, but slowly raised his head, straightened his back, raised his hand to take off his hood, and ripped off the black scarf.

The moment he saw his true face, Rao couldn't help but be shocked with Ouyang Jing's concentration, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out in disbelief: "Liu ...... Xuande! ”

That's right, this mysterious messenger is Liu Bei himself!

"Wen Hou is okay?"

Liu Bei smiled gently, his warm and attentive eyes looked directly at Ouyang Jing, and there was no hostility in his eyes. It seems that the "Lu Bu" in front of him is not an enemy who will take revenge, take away his inheritance, and make him hate it to the core, but a close friend who has not seen him for a long time and has a deep friendship.

Ouyang Jing took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, calmed his heart, smiled suddenly, pointed at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, you are so bold, you dare to sneak into my Xiapi City alone!" Aren't you afraid that there will be no return? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled: "Don't be afraid." Because Wen Hou won't kill me. ”

Ouyang Jing narrowed his eyes and forced Liu Bei to look, the cold light in his eyes flickered, like a tiger before a pounce: "Joke, why won't I kill you?" ”

"Even because I'm insignificant, I can't get rid of the siege of Xiapi when I die. And because I can't die. ”

Liu Bei's voice was as gentle as his smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, "If I die, Yun Chang and Yide will avenge me, even if they take refuge in Cao Cao, they will not hesitate." And once Yun Chang and Yide are under Cao Cao's command, Wen Hou's death will not be far away. ”

Ouyang Jing said coldly: "Are you threatening me? ”

Liu Bei's smile did not change: "I'm just stating a fact." ”

Ouyang Jing's voice became more and more cold: "However, I can also take you down, take you as a hostage, and coerce Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." ”

Liu Bei said gently: "With Wen Hou's world-class force, he can easily capture Liu Bei." But...... If I beg for death, I can't stop Wen Hou if I want to. ”

Ouyang Jing's lips pursed, and his gaze pressed Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's face did not change, his face was full of smiles, his eyes were warm and bright, and he looked at Ouyang Jing without fear.

After a long confrontation, Ouyang Jing suddenly laughed, Sen Leng dissipated, and his smile was full of enthusiasm, as if he had seen a good brother who had been separated for a long time: "Come on, come on, Brother Xuande, please take a seat!" ”

He got up and left the table, came to Liu Bei's side, grabbed Liu Bei's arm, warmly invited him to take a seat, and even poured him a cup of hot ginger tea with his own hands: "The snow is falling, the sky is cold, Xuande hurried in the middle of the night, braved the wind and snow to enter the city, I think it was very cold." Please drink a cup of ginger tea to warm up. ”

Liu Bei did not resist, sat down safely, took the teacup, and said, "Thank you Wenhou." I'm really cold, this cup of ginger tea came at the right time. ”

Taking a sip of ginger tea, he held the tea cup in both hands and said with a smile: "I wonder if my four nephews and nieces are okay?" ”

Ouyang Jing returned to his seat and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they are very good." Xuande, aren't your nephews and nieces my nephews and nieces? If they call me uncle, how can I do them badly? Just ......"

"Just what?"

Ouyang Jing's face was full of bitterness: "It's just that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the city, and it is difficult to support, and I am dignified and gentle, so I only have one meal a day, and each meal is only two taels of pancakes and a salted fish." Even if I had the best intentions to entertain my four nephews and nieces, I really couldn't get good food. I can only wronged them to suffer with me. ”

After that, he sighed deeply, his expression was heavy, and he was ashamed, and he really looked like he was blaming himself for not being able to entertain his "nephew and niece".

Seeing this, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly, and he was shocked in his heart: "Lu Bu has really become smarter!" In the past, Lu Bu only knew how to go straight, where could he be so coy? It's still pretending to be the same as the real thing! What really happened to him? Could it be that a breakthrough in strength can also affect wisdom? But...... Throughout the ages, isn't it all about getting stronger and stupider? ”

In Liu Bei's view, the strong don't need to use their brains, and when they encounter anything, they can be crushed by force and run rampant. Over time, strong people who are used to using their hands and brains will naturally become more and more stupid - for example, Xiang Yu, the old enemy of his ancestor, is a clear example.

And people who can maintain the good habit of using their brains diligently and always control the armed forces with wisdom while being strong in force are very few in ancient and modern times. And Lu Bu obviously shouldn't be this kind of person.

Although he was puzzled and shocked in his heart, Liu Bei's face remained silent, still smiling gently, and his eyes were warm: "I never thought that Wen Hou would be so difficult." In this case, why don't you let your nephews and nieces go back with me, so that you can save some food for Wenhou? ”

Ouyang Jing turned his face and said, "How can you do that?" My nephews and nieces finally came to my place as a guest, and it was not easy to entertain them for three months and two months, how can I say that it is reasonable? Well, but I'm really struggling with food......

"Otherwise, Xuande, how about you support me with twenty or thirty thousand stone corn? In this way, my four nephews and nieces will not have to starve with me. ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand stone corn?" Liu Bei was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "Wen Hou, you are really embarrassing me." Don't say that I don't have so much surplus food, and even if I do, I can't transport it to the city! ”

"Xuande, if you think about it, there will definitely be surplus food."

Ouyang Jing smiled and said: "Everyone knows that your brother of Mrs. Mi, who is rich in Xuzhou, has only twenty or thirty thousand stone corn, how can he not take it out?" As for transporting grain into the city, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way. ”
