Xiang Xia naturally understood the concerns in his heart, Liu Bei's concept of respect and inferiority was deep-rooted, and he would not leave without Yuan Shao's permission.

Why wouldn't he? Big brother, how did you talk to him? ”

"I don't know... I told Yuan Gong that because my second brother killed his subordinates, Yan Liangwen and Chou, the two generals, I was afraid of being punished by Yuan Gong, so I didn't dare to leave, so I asked for orders to appease and welcome them, and then serve Yuan Gong after returning. Liu Bei groaned.

Hearing Liu Bei say this, I feel that there is no problem, and it still sounds quite tempting, why didn't Yuan Shao let him go? However, then again, Xiang Xia asked tentatively, "Is that really what Big Brother thinks?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei looked at Xia with some puzzlement.

"Big brother is still going to stay here and serve Yuan Shao?" Thinking that although Yuan Shao has millions of soldiers and horses, he can't defeat Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there have been reports of defeat in the past few months, can this Yuan Shao really rely on his effectiveness.

"To tell you the truth, I have no intention of doing so. We have been living here for three months, and I have long felt that Yuan Gong cannot achieve great things, and if I continue to stay here, I will not only do nothing, but will also risk my life. And Yun Chang killed his general, I'm afraid he already has a grudge against me in his heart, and he can't say if he has a grudge against me, if I let Yun Chang, Yide, and Zilong defect here, if he doesn't need us one day, do you think he will let us go easily? Yuan Gong is not the master of the Ming, if I don't leave him, I will not be able to complete the edict of the Son of Heaven and raise troops to destroy Cao. Liu Bei said with emotion.

Nodding to Xia, with approval in his eyes, he said, "Big brother is so wise, so what does big brother plan next?" ”

"Defect to Liu Biao."

…

The expected itinerary was put on hold, and when he had nothing to do, Xiang Xia was chatting with Wei Yi.

"You say, why didn't Yuan Shao let his lord go? I thought I would be able to see Zilong soon..."Xiang Xia pursed his lips and said in frustration.

Wei Yi scratched his head, thought seriously, and said with a tangled face: "Is he afraid that the lord will leave and never go back?" ”

But the lord promised him that he would come back after receiving someone. You see that if he doesn't let go of the lord, the second brother and the third brother Zilong will not come to serve, what can he get? I really don't understand..."Xiang Xia held his forehead and sighed.

"Immortal Gu, Duke Yuan shouldn't want to use the lord to coerce the generals to come, right?" Wei Yi asked with some panic.

"He dares! He will lose face, and he won't lose the face of his fourth and third princes when he spreads it. And he still has to worry about our eldest brother, if something really happens to the eldest brother here, do you think the second brother and the third brother Zilong will let him go? I'm not worried about this, but now I have to find a way to help my lord get out..."

At the right time, two whispering courtiers walked by.

"Recently, Lord Tian Feng has been very important, don't you say?"

"Yes, Lord Tian Feng will be summoned several times in this day. I think Lord Tian Feng is also loyal to his lord, so we have to stutter a little bit recently. ”

"That's nature. It's a pity that we put our minds on Lord Xu Yu a while ago, alas..."

"Actually, Lord Xu You has always been very pleasing to the lord, but recently, for some reason, he angered the lord several times, so he was snubbed. Last time I heard someone else say, Lord Xu Yu also scolded the lord and the lord! ”

When the two courtiers had gone some distance, they could no longer hear what they were saying, but they could only be seen shaking their heads and waving their hands.

"Xu Yu?" Xiang Xia froze in place and muttered.

"Fairy Gu, what's wrong with you? Tired of walking? Wei Yijian paused in his footsteps and asked with concern.

"Nope. Wei Yi, do you know Xu You? ”

"Yes. Before the last battle in Xuzhou, the lord didn't send someone to ask Lord Xu You to persuade Duke Yuan to send troops to help, and Lord Xu You was quite polite to the lord. ”

"What else? What else do you know? ”

"And..."Wei Yi frowned, thought about it carefully, and said, "I have occasionally heard in the army that Lord Xu You and Lord Tian Feng seem to be at odds... But it's just a rumor, I don't know if it's true, just listen to it. ”

Towards summer he stopped and pondered. Yuan Shao's refusal to release him must have been due to the idea of the Yanchen strategist. Yuan Shao, although he was born in a famous family and his power is also very important, many times he is easy to be confused in terms of strategy and strategy, short-sighted, and generalized. If he heard Liu Bei say that he could invite Guan Zhang Zhao back, he would definitely let people go happily. Among them, it should be the Wenchen next to him who came up with the idea. Listening to the courtier who had just walked by, Tian Feng has been highly valued recently, and he has been summoned several times a day, so he must have nothing to do with Tian Feng. Since Tian Feng and Xu You disagreed, they could ask Xu You to help. It's just that before that, they still have to convince Xu You.

Xu You, Xu You. Sky Eye, Sky Eye.

Xu You must be the one who can help, how can she persuade Xu You to come forward to help them?

Xiang Xia only felt that his forehead was burning, and the white light appeared in front of him, and the sky and the earth were white. In the next second, Xiang Xia fainted.

"Fairy Gu, what are you thinking? Thinking so distractedly..."

"Fairy Gu, Fairy Gu, why did you pass out?! Immortal..."

Wei Yi's panicked shouts could be vaguely heard in her ears, and her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was in a dream.

…

At night, in the tent.

"Haven't you woken up in the summer?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

"My lord, not yet." Wei Yi hugged his fists and saluted.

"What did the medic say?"

"The military doctor examined and said that there was no major problem, maybe it was overwork, and it was enough to recuperate and breathe. I have prescribed a side prescription, and I have already ordered someone to fry it. Wei Yi replied.

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

Liu Bei walked to the edge of Xiang Summer's bed, gently covered the quilt for her, and instructed Wei Yi: "When you wake up in summer, order someone to cook a few good dishes, chicken, duck and fish to replenish your body." ”

"Yes." Wei Yi responded.

At the right time, Xiang Xia, who was in a coma, woke up, slowly opened his eyes, saw that Liu Bei was also there, and stretched out his hand to Liu Bei. Seeing this, Liu Bei took Xiang Xia's hand and comforted: "Did I wake you up?" You have a good rest, I came to see you, and I was relieved to see that you were okay. You take care of it, and I won't disturb your rest. ”

After speaking, Liu Bei got up and wanted to leave. Xiang Xia Li held Liu Bei's hand tightly and didn't let him leave.

"Summer, you..."Liu Bei said suspiciously.

Xiang Xia struggled to get up, Liu Bei hurriedly helped her up, and said loudly: "You passed out in the afternoon, you should lie down and rest." ”

"Big brother... Big brother, don't go..."Shouting to Xia, Liu Bei asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Xiang Xia's eyes were deep and firm, looked at Liu Bei, and said solemnly: "Xu Yu..."

…

"I don't know what happened when the two of you came to visit late at night?" Xu Yu sat upright and asked. Sitting directly across from him were Liu Bei and Xiang Xia, with three teacups on the small table, and hot mist was coming out of the teacups.

Liu Bei didn't know why, he was pulled here by Xiang Xia, and glanced at Xiang Xia suspiciously. Xiang Xia's face was haggard, his mouth was pale, and he looked extremely weak, and he said in a hoarse voice: "My lord and I are here to ask you for help. ”

"Oh? We haven't been in contact with each other for a long time, and we haven't crossed paths, so what can you do for me to help? Xu You raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"You have to help with this favor, and only you can help." Xiang Xia said seriously, and then asked: "Today, my lord went to ask Yuan Shao for his life, and went to greet and bring back Guan and Zhang, but he didn't get an answer. Do you know why? ”

Xu You smiled, shook the teacup in his hand, took another sip, and put it down. Suddenly, his eyes stared at Xiang Xia with deep meaning, and he said unhurriedly: "I have heard something, I think this is Tian Feng's idea." At first, I didn't understand it, but after seeing you, I understood. ”

"Me?" Xiang Xia pointed to himself and asked in surprise. At the same time, Liu Bei also looked at Xiang Xia in surprise, confused.

"Yes, it's you." Xu You stroked his beard and smiled incomprehensibly. Seeing that the two of them were very puzzled, he continued: "Presumably Tian Feng has already seen you." ”

Xiang Xia thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "I seem to have seen it." On the day when the lord came to defect, there were many civil and military generals in the hall, and Tian Feng should be among them..."

"Hmm..."Liu Bei also helped to recall, nodding in agreement.

"But what does it have to do with him seeing me?" Xiang Xia asked.

Xu You looked at Xiaxia, then at Liu Bei, and asked, "I don't know if Uncle Liu Huang can retreat for a while?" ”

"Okay." Liu Bei resolutely answered and withdrew from the house.

"Then I'll say it." As he spoke, Xu You stood up and turned his back to Xiang Xia. Xiaobu went to the window, looked up at the night sky, and said, "When I saw you at the right time, I found that your face was different, and I was very lucky. Moreover, if you are weak today, those of us who have the Tao will be able to see through you, and you have color on your forehead, even pure color. When you are born in the world, you can't avoid being contaminated with some filth. So, you're extraordinary. Furthermore, I just watched the sky at night, and saw that your star is still a purple star in the east, which should be a sign of purple qi coming from the east. Thou art a noble man from heaven. Presumably, Tian Feng has already found out that he wants to keep you and your lord, and assist my lord Yuan Shao in the great cause of unification. ”

"I—" Xiang Xia was speechless and spilled tea all over the table. Whether it is Zhang Lu, Tian Feng, or Xu You, why can it be easy to see that she is different from ordinary people? If there are any more capable people who find out, how can she survive in this troubled world?

"Why do you always see the difference? I'm a little different from the rest of the world... But I don't want to do that, is there any way to hide myself? I don't want to, I don't want to be the target of this troubled world..."Xiang Xia hugged himself helplessly, shaking his head in pain.
