Yu Ban didn't know the danger of going to Chengdu, but if he didn't see Liu Bei in person, how could he prove Zhao Shu's innocence? He also persuaded: "If Mr. does not go to Chengdu, how can he distinguish the authenticity of the contents of the letter?" ”

Zhao Shu didn't answer, but asked, "What about authenticity?" Zhao Shu looked at Yu Ban and said lightly: "Today, there are not many people who can think of Wen Ze who only want to revive the Han Dynasty and regain their old business of Guangwu." Zhao Shu sighed, and continued: "Didn't General Shicai also say it himself, the Han family will never be prosperous?" ”

Yu Ban's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Two-thirds of the world already belongs to Wei." If everyone under the command of the king of Hanzhong can work together, it may not be impossible to recover the Central Plains. Just ..... alas! ”

"Together? Easier said than done. Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "Wen Ze has been in Jingxiang for a long time, and he also knows that when Jingzhou was in danger several times, Chengdu has never sent a single soldier. If it weren't for Cao Cao's death in the army when he went south, wouldn't Jingzhou have changed hands long ago? ”

Yu Ban suddenly said: "If there is no Mr. and Kong Ming is in charge alone, what will happen to the situation?" ”

Zhao Shu was stunned when he heard this, Liu Bei, Fa Zheng's life is not long, Li Yan is a political idiot, if Zhao Shu is really removed, Kong Ming is in power alone, and now there is more Jingxiang Land, will he really be able to realize his Longzhong right? Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Wen Ze is trying to get rid of me?" ”

Yu Ban sighed and said: "If the fate is like this, it is not possible." And he said, Come out. As soon as the words fell, there were four families who would turn out from behind the screen and the tent, the older ones were forty or fifty years old, and the younger ones were also standing, each with a long sword, looking at Zhao Shu coldly, as long as he was under the order of the ban, Zhao Shu would immediately go to the Lord of Yama to report.

Zhao Shu spent so much time talking, but he still didn't beat Yu Ban's heart to kill Zhao Shu, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Fa Zheng's move is really poisonous, Yu Ban is loyal to his life, although it will cause turmoil in Jingzhou, but someone must be prepared to settle the situation. And Zhao Shu's death was in the forbidden hand, and it had nothing to do with him and Kong Ming.

Yu Ban looked at the four of his subordinates, and suddenly said, "How about waiting for you?" ”

The four of them said in unison: "Kindness is like a mountain, and a certain four people are willing to go to the soup for the general, and they will not hesitate." ”

Zhao Shu saw that Yu Ban was about to order to kill him, and his arm was slightly raised, first shooting a general, and then using this to restrain Yu Ban as a hostage, hoping to escape this catastrophe. But Yu Ban said again: "Okay, the conversation between Mr. and Mr. Zhao, I think you must have heard it clearly." Tonight's conversation, I don't want it to leak out. Go down. ”

"Yes." The four of them returned their swords into the sheath, knelt down together, and kowtowed to Yu Ban with serious expressions. Although Yu Ban was seriously ill, he also struggled to sit up and said, "You can go with peace of mind, I will let Gui'er take care of your family." ”

As soon as Zhao Shu heard this, he understood the true meaning of Yu Ban's sentence "I hope you don't leak it out". Waiting for the four generals to turn around and leave the room, Yu Bancai said to Zhao Shu again: "Mr. is secretly pointing at a certain person with his arm, isn't there some hidden arrow?" ”

Zhao Shu knew that Yu Ban had no intention of harming each other now, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Wen Ze's eyesight is really extraordinary. ”

Yu Ban sighed lightly and said, "I hope I didn't mistake Mr. either." Kong Ming is a person, he has never seen it, but Mr. is not like Cao Cao, according to him, he can't do anything to deceive the monarch and seize power. However, Yu Ban paused for a moment and said: "According to the current situation, the king of Hanzhong does not have many days, the young master is young, and the gentleman is far away from the government and the opposition, although he can protect himself by supporting the army." But in the end, it is estranged, and I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous. ”

Yu Ban wanted to kill Zhao Shu at the beginning, but now he is concerned about Zhao Shu's safety, Zhao Shu really doesn't understand what he thinks in his heart, and he doesn't know how to interface for a while. Yu Ban said again: "A certain person came to the king of Hanzhong with hope, hoping to help the Han family. It wasn't until today that I realized that everything was in vain, and the Han family was exhausted early. It has long been heard that Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and coerced the saints, which is more than that. He also raised prisons, excluded dissidents, and codified the heart of the Han Dynasty, which was clearly revealed, but I was afraid that it was right now. ”

Zhao Shu couldn't help but look at the ban, what he expected was exactly the same as what Zhao Shu knew, Cao Pi was the emperor next month. Seeing that there was no look of surprise on Zhao Shu's face, Yu Ban asked, "Does Mr. also think what he said is reasonable?" ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Cao Pi's usurpation of Han is right now." ”

Yu Ban said again: "Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the king of Hanzhong will inevitably be called the emperor. When he was a child, he once heard that Boyi, Uncle Qi, did not eat Zhou Su, starved to death, and admired him tightly. ”

Zhao Shu was extremely disappointed when he heard Yu Ban's tone, not only for Cao Cao, who followed him in the past, but also for Liu Bei now, but also Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu knew that he had already sprouted the will of life and death, so he persuaded: "The number of days is right, but I and Wen Ze should also do our best." ”

Yu Ban smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. is intelligent, if he is really dedicated to the Han family, he may be able to make a difference." ”

Although Zhao Shu disagreed with the forbidden foolish loyalty, he also admired it very much, and the Han Dynasty could have one or two such loyal ministers, and it would not be in vain for three hundred years of foundation. Zhao Shu said: "Wen Ze, I have no rebellious heart, you can rest assured of this." ”

Yu Ban smiled and said, "Mr. should also be good at cherishing himself, and be careful in everything in the land of Jingxiang's four battles." Yun Chang's death, everyone said that Gao Ping's hand was lower, but in the opinion of a certain person, it may not be. ”

Zhao Shu was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. Ma has already told him about this matter personally, and it definitely can't be faked." ”

Yu Ban smiled and said: "Mr. Ma's matter, I also heard about it, and he died very strangely, and I am afraid that this dying word will not be true." ”

Zhao Shu naturally couldn't talk about Guan Yu in detail, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, and I asked: "Wen Zejiu has been in Xudu for a long time, but do you still remember that twenty years ago, when Marquis Wen of Baimenlou died, how did his family Cao Cao deal with it?" ”

Yu Ban was stunned and said, "Why did Mr. ask about this?" I was not in Xudu at the time, and I didn't know the details. I just heard that Mrs. Mink Chan missed her deceased husband and died of martyrdom, leaving a daughter who was taken away by her family to raise her, and her whereabouts are unknown. As soon as he finished speaking, he said, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with Yun Chang's death?" ”

It seemed that what Rong'er said was true, Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "Just ask casually." ”

Seeing that Zhao Shu didn't say anything, he didn't ask more, and resumed the topic just now, and said: "Yun Chang went to Chengdu for help, naturally he traveled day and night, without the slightest slack. Gao Ping set off for two days, and led a large group of men and horses in the territory of our army, so naturally he didn't dare to take the big road, how could he catch up with Yunchang? ”

This is indeed a big suspicion, unless Guan Yu is delayed on the way for a few days, but saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Guan Yu will definitely not be delayed because of some trivial things. Yu Ban saw that Zhao Shu was silent, and said: "I am afraid that Mr. Ma will know all of them, but for other reasons, he will not say anything about suicide." The gentleman himself was still more careful, and it was already late at night, so he asked the gentleman to go home. He raised his voice and shouted, "Gui'er." ”

After a while, he saw Yu Gui entering and asked, "What does my father command?" ”

Yu Ban said: "Send Mr. Zhao back to his house for his father." He said to Zhao Shu again: "There is only one son under his knees, I hope Mr. will take care of it." ”

Zhao Shu knew that Yu Ban's illness was not only due to the death of his family, but also to the fact that the Han family was not prosperous. Yu Ban asked Zhao Shu to come this time, and he had no determination to do harm, but he took a fancy to Zhao Shu as his heir to the mantle, followed his "will", and took it as his mission to restore the world of the Han family. In his eyes, although Liu Bei is a little better than Cao Cao, he definitely does not approve of Liu Bei being the emperor.

Zhao Shu got up and looked at this old man who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, for that unrealistic "ideal", he worked all his life, and wanted to drag himself into the water, the feeling in his heart is really difficult to describe, regret, admiration, or ridicule? Zhao Shu bowed respectfully to Yu Ban, and said silently in his heart: After Liu Bei's death, as long as Liu Chan does not care for himself, Zhao Shu will continue to be loyal to him, not because his surname is Liu, but because Zhao Shu has no choice.

Zhao Shu, accompanied by Yu Gui, returned to the former general's mansion with Ye Feng. Why did Yu Ban want to let go of his son, Zhao Shu also understood in his heart, but let him live to hear the news of Cao Pi's usurpation, it was better to let him leave with a glimmer of hope and his four loyal subordinates, Zhao Shu could only wish them all the best.

Yu Gui was originally eloquent, but along the way, he was also silent, father and son had the same heart, and he must be able to see the clues in the forbidden matter. After returning home, Yu Gui said goodbye, and Zhao Shu should have said a few words of relief, but he couldn't talk about it, so he had to cherish it. Yu Gui left in tears, Ye Feng looked at his back, and said, "The old general has long been disheartened and bored. I can't get my heart knotted, but I'm afraid of ....."

Yu Gui is afraid that he will have to deal with the aftermath when he goes back, what else is there to talk about untying the knot? I turned around to enter, and a general stepped forward and said, "Sir, Miss Guan has been waiting in the back garden for a long time. ”

Guan Feng? It seems that it is mostly for Ma Liang's business, Zhao Shu pointed at Ye Feng and said, "Take this little brother to the guest room to rest, don't slack off." He said to Ye Feng again: "I still have some things, you go down to rest first." ”

Ye Feng smiled wickedly, thinking that hearing the word "Miss" produced countless reveries. In these years, these boys have not matured later than later generations. Waiting for the family to take Ye Feng down, Zhao Shucai walked to the back garden alone, and he was also thinking about Li Wei's words, he should make up an excuse for Ma Liang's death, but how could he make up a satisfactory explanation at this time? I can't help but secretly hate Ma Liang in my heart, after you return to Jingzhou, it's never too late to die, why do you have to die in my line? It's just adding to the chaos.

Zhao Shu doesn't like other flowers, so only some orchids are planted in the courtyard, but these faint breaths are also refreshing. Guan Yu's filial piety period has not passed, Guan Feng is still dressed in plain clothes, and she is not powdered, this "light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate" probably means that she is out of the dust. Zhao Shu raised his eyes to look at her, and thought to himself, if he has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? It's just that there are many good things, if he didn't help Sun Quan attack Huainan back then, maybe there would be more than one Xiao Zhao Shu now. Thinking of this, Zhao Shu shook his head secretly in his heart, could it be that his body has not changed in the past two years, but his mood is old? I'm already thinking about getting married and having children.
