Chapter 20 Liu Xuande Cut through the black
"How's the lord?"
"I've had a head attack, I've seen the doctor, and I'm resting."
"Just because of Lingxi, all the diseases that have not been committed in the past few years have recurred?"
"I think it's not just because of Lingxi, Xuzhou has always been the heart disease of the lord, we worked the front line for months, spent a lot of troops and financial resources, but in the end Xuzhou fell into the hands of Liu Bei, he won Xuzhou without much effort, can the lord not be angry?"
"Also, back then, the lord still wanted to recruit Brother Liu Bei, and treated him politely. But I just don't understand, what does Guan Yu mean by snatching the spirit rhino? β
"I'm afraid I know why." Guo Jia walked over and happened to hear the conversation between Xun Yu and Xun You.
"I went to ask General Cao Ren just now, a few years ago, he had inquired about the news of Lingxi for the lord, and found out all the way to Luoyang. He said that when Lingxi was in distress, Liu Bei rescued him, and I was afraid that there would be something past between Lingxi and Liu Bei. β
"Crow's beak!" Xun You scolded: "Fengxiao has always been very effective in bad things, so let's say a few words." β
β¦β¦
Three days later, Guan Yu, who came to the rescue of Lu Bu, returned to Xuzhou.
Liu Bei hoped to get Lu Bu's help to defend Xuzhou in case Cao Cao committed it again, so he sent Guan Yu to the rescue, but he never expected that Guan Yu would bring Lingxi back together.
After the banquet, Liu Bei arranged for LΓΌ Bu and Chen Gong's troops to be stationed in Xiaopei on the edge of Xuzhou, and Xuzhou formed a horn with each other to control Cao's army.
Seeing off Lu Bu, Guan Yu said in a low voice: "I brought someone back for my eldest brother." β
"Who?" Liu Bei didn't know why.
"On that day, I went to Luoyang together, and called the eldest brother to never forget."
"You!" Liu Bei was shocked and couldn't believe it: "I asked you to rescue Lu Bu, how could you meet Lingxi?" β
"Big brother must not have thought of it." Guan Yu didn't know if this was done properly or not, he was excellent in martial arts, but he didn't necessarily have a delicate mind.
As soon as he told what had happened, Liu Bei immediately reprimanded angrily: "Second brother, you are so confused, I think she has returned to Cao Cao, and you bring people back at this time, isn't that a blatant provocation of Cao Cao!" β
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then relieved: "Cao Cao has nothing to be afraid of, I don't dare to come to Xuzhou again, now in Xuzhou, in addition to you and my three brothers, there are also more fierce generals Lu Bu." β
"But this person is what the eldest brother wants, and that day in Yuan Shao's military camp, I can see that the eldest brother doesn't want the third brother to tell Cao Cao about Lingxi, what is the reason."
"Hey, you, when did you become as reckless as the third brother." Liu Bei sighed: "Where is she." β
Now that the matter has come to this, it is time to see the spirit.
"At the pavilion."
As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, Liu Bei hurriedly walked out.
It has been four years since the last time I said goodbye to Luoyang, and I regained my beard, put away the throbbing of my youth, married two wives, and hid the woman who had a glimpse of the year deep in my heart.
I don't know what Lingxi looks like now, how much she has changed, if she is by Cao Cao's side, she must also be favored.
Thinking about it, there it is.
Liu Bei tidied up and down his clothes, and with a rare hint of nervousness, he entered the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Lingxi was lying on the table, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Liu Bei didn't know whether to speak or not, he quietly looked at Lingxi's cheeks, and was a little overwhelmed.
He can be regarded as a person who has been trained everywhere, has been on the battlefield, has taken a sword, and killed people, how can he still have such feelings.
"Huh? Why are you standing here? At this moment, the spirit rhino suddenly woke up.
After seeing the person in front of her clearly, she said excitedly: "Liu Bei, it's you!" Your second brother is too rude, he didn't listen to anything I explained, and he brought me here from Yanzhou, whose idea was this, you? β
"No, it's not, the second brother is reckless, which makes Lingxi embarrassed." Liu Bei hurriedly explained.
"So what now, you have to send me back. You're on a different side from me right now, and I don't want to cause trouble because of me. β
Lingxi knew what was at stake, and only a few days ago she told herself to believe that Cao Cao would really retreat for herself, but she was shocked and didn't retreat, but she was pulled to Liu Bei by Guan Yu.
"Lingxi, don't panic, it's Guan Yu who did something wrong, Liu Bei is here to compensate you for him, I will definitely send you back safely." Liu Bei looked at Lingxi and was shocked to see that she was still the same as when he first saw her.
"But I'm right for you, your sentence that day was really fulfilled that you had a chance to meet each other." Seeing Liu Bei's gentle attitude, Lingxi was relieved: "You have a life-saving grace for me, you don't need to compensate me." β
It's just that Lingxi didn't expect that Liu Bei's promise was vetoed by his two brothers, Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and they agreed that since Lingxi's value is so great, why not use her as bait, fishing Cao Cao to attack, and let it be a plan.
She didn't expect that, in fact, the idea was made by Liu Bei! Liu Bei saw Lingxi again, and his mind could no longer be restrained.
This is not Lingxi's hometown, it is not an era of peace, and it is true that as Xun You said, war is cruel.
Becoming a king or losing a king is often a matter of an instant, these people are scrambling to grab it, even if a benevolent person like Liu Bei doesn't want to fight for a bigger foothold, so that he can show what he thinks in his heart.
Lingxi always thought that Liu Bei was a righteous gentleman, and it wasn't until the fifth day in Xuzhou Pavilion that she began to think about it.
Now Cao Cao's power is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and he has become the target of public criticism, and he has been criticized as a traitor, who can exterminate Cao Jun, I am afraid that he will get more support, and they must be plotting against Cao Cao to detain her here.
Her Apocalypse, even if he has done something he can't accept, he is still her Apocalypse.
In the past few days, Lingxi calmed down, and he missed Cao Cao who was far away in Xuchang more and more.
She did feel trembling when she thought of Cao Cao's actions, but when she thought of him looking for herself that day and letting go of Lu Bu for herself, she became more and more confident in his love.
The war was brutal, but his love was real.
After figuring out the minds of these people in Xuzhou, Lingxi hoped that he could try to do something.
Since she was arrested outside Zhongmu County, she was discouraged and didn't dare to be clever anymore, thinking that the people here were too smart to play by herself.
But this time, in order not to let Cao Cao fall for his tricks, Lingxi decided to try again.
Is it okay to run away late at night?
So, she did what she said she would do, and sneaked out of the pavilion in the middle of the night, but she didn't expect it to fail again.
She bumped into Liu Bei headlong and said in shock: "Xuande, it's so late, why are you here?" You're looking for me, why don't you go up? β
She wouldn't have known that Liu Bei's affection for her had been planted as early as the moment she fell off the carriage, and she was here in the middle of the night, just to get closer to her.
"It's so late, where is Lingxi going?" Liu Bei still spoke in a gentle tone.
"Ah, this, this." Lingxi Silence.
"Oh, the spirit rhino is trying to escape, is it?"
"You, what do you say!" Lingxi didn't expect him to see through it, and said it directly. I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't beat around the bush: "Tell me the truth, you have been dragging me and not letting me leave, just to threaten Cao Cao with me and lure him into the bait, right?" I didn't expect that I have always regarded you as a friend, and you would do such an unsightly thing! β
But Liu Bei looked calm: "Cao Cao can be called a traitor, a few days ago I heard Mr. Chen Gong say that he not only killed tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, but as early as he fled on the way, because of suspicion, he killed his uncle Lu Bohao's family more than a dozen people, this kind of big treachery, do you need to talk to him about any means, what do you say?" β
"But if you still treat me as a friend, he will be my husband."
"Lingxi, you are in your prime, why follow him, it's better to stay, I said that day, if one day, he has it and I have it, can you make another choice."
"Well, you've been planning so far, I'm afraid you've been waiting here for a few nights, just waiting for me to come down, and then say these things, right?"
"The spirit rhino is really smart." Liu Bei smiled.
"Now that I am married to him, I will share the glory and disgrace with him!" Lingxi said angrily: "We are only one side, and you already have a wife and concubine, why is this, are you really not afraid of Cao Jun, even if he really falls for the trick, you are sure to win?" If he knew that you did this to me, he would not let you go! β
"I'll wait." Liu Bei's tone was still calm, and he picked up Lingxi and went upstairs.
Lingxi struggled, hated and angry.
"I heard that he accepted you as his Ring Lady because of a piece of Ring Pei."
Liu Bei talked to himself, and took out a delicate object like a bracelet from his clothes, and there was a row of small bells on it, which jingled and rang.
"This is the treasure of Xuzhou City, I will also give it to you, better than his?" He pulled Lingxi's delicate little foot and fastened the little bracelet to her ankle.
Lingxi felt frightened inexplicably, and in the struggle, he only heard a crisp sound, and the bracelet was buckled.
"What the hell are you going to do!"
"Just wanted to give you what I have. Don't worry, if you don't agree, I won't touch you, I'm not as romantic as him. β
