The Xiongnu envoy Julong Cave didn't expect Liu Jian to bet so simply that Lu Bu would win, and he gambled so categorically.

It stands to reason that today's banquet is Dong Zhuo's venue, the banquet is Dong Zhuo's banquet, the people are the host, and Lu Bu was excited to reward by a team, watching Lu Bu happily take the goods and leave, Dong Zhuo naturally didn't have a taste in his heart, and it was normal to use a little trick to embarrass Lu Bu and find psychological balance.

Even he, a Hun person, can understand things, why did Liu Dayingjie, who made the first contribution, be the first to stand up and speak for Lu Bu?

Didn't he see that Dong Gong seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass the other party?

Subsequently, the sentence dragon cave was clear.

According to the Han people, this kid is a brave and unscrupulous person!

Thinking of this, the Hun envoy glanced at Dong Zhuo with slanted eyes.

Dong Zhuo, who saw it, was expressionless, and he didn't see joy or anger, and Julong Cave thought about it and said: "Liu Jun doesn't ask us what the gift from Da Shan Yu to Dong Zhijun is?" Dare to bet against me? Isn't it a bit too much? Could it be that this is what you Han people call brave and unplanned? ”

After that, I saw that all the Huns laughed presumptuously.

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard this.

Even if you drink hard, you shouldn't deliberately demean my guests in front of Dong!

The Huns of Meiji are so rude!

Waiting for the Dragon Cave to finish speaking, he heard Liu Jian reply lightly:

"My bet with the messenger is just the joy of the game, so why bother with other things? My big man has never been rigid in his actions, and he has recognized a truth, even if there is artemisia in front of him, he dares to break through and touch it! ”

"The demeanor of the Celestial Empire should be like this, fearlessness is the true character of our generation, and it is the ethics of our generation to do what we say. Right, Uncle Fang? ”

"Good!"

When the words fell, Gao Shun, who had not spoken, suddenly praised him.

When Julong Cave heard this, his face turned a little red, and he felt shameless.

Dong Zhuo just smiled faintly and did not answer.

After all, the Huns are also his guests, and he, the host, is not biased.

But he praised it in his heart: a little arrogant! I didn't look away!

Dong Zhuo immediately clapped his hands, and saw that his sergeant drove an ox cart over.

Behind the cart was a large wooden cage, in which was a snow leopard with its teeth and claws, and a low roar.

The beast's eyes, faintly glowing green in the dark night, were particularly terrifying.

For a while, the sergeants around him all woke up a little drunk, and they turned their heads one by one, and they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Na Lu Bu in their hearts.

Julong Cave wanted to flatter Dong Zhuo, but he didn't want to be choked by Liu Jian, and he was very depressed.

Now when he saw the snow leopard he had sacrificed, he was a little proud, and said: "This is a wasteland white leopard caught by fifteen hunters in our department. ”

The tiger and leopard are ferocious, everyone knows that the people of the Han Dynasty have the habit of raising beasts in captivity, and there are precedents for fighting with strength.

It is rumored that Liu Xu, the son of Emperor Wu Liu Che, the king of Guangling, once fought with bears, wild boars and other fierce beasts empty-handed, and was proud of it.

But this kind of lifeless Hanbi is still a minority after all, and most normal people are not willing to take this risk.

Dong Zhuo leaned forward and said with a smile: "Team Lu, your Sima Yanru has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and the power to fight the bear and tiger, there is such a stunt, when you open the eyes of the old man, the old man of the bear and tiger beast does not have this, but the leopard has one, you have bravery, why not show your skills in front of the soldiers of the three armies and show your strengths?" ”

Lu Bu kept his face calm and did not speak.

The audience fell into an extremely embarrassing situation for a while.

When the Hun envoy saw that Lu Bu did not reply, he thought that he was afraid, and he was even more proud, and shouted to Liu Jian: "Liu joins the army, do you still want to gamble with us?" ”

Liu Jian did not retreat at all, and said loudly: "Bet! Why not gamble? I should still bet that my sons in the Han army will win! I'll put fifty gold on you in this game! If you lose, you will get all 50 gold! No remorse. ”

After that, Liu Jian turned his head to look around at the soldiers of Bingzhou, and said: "I am a heroic and heroic man, like a carp crossing the river, I don't know how many mortals, how can I be afraid of a beast?" Sons, do you dare to bet or not! ”

"Bet!"

"Bet!"

"Bet!"

For a time, the morale of the officers and men of the three armed forces was high, and they all shouted in response.

Zhang Fei also shouted "gamble", came behind Liu Jian, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, we don't have fifty gold?" ”

"It's okay, if you lose, ask Dong Zhuo to borrow it, I guess he won't be embarrassed to ask us when he turns around."

Julong Cave was hurt by Liu Jianqi's toothache, but now that the matter has come to this, he has no choice but to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Julong Cave took a deep breath and said, "I—I don't have fifty gold ......."

When this sentence was spoken, everyone present laughed.

Even Dong Zhuo couldn't hold back his joy.

Zhang Fei whispered behind Liu Jian: "Brother, you see how many Huns there are, you can look at you again......"

"But!"

The Huns suddenly shouted: "I have a rare treasure here, which was originally traded with Mobei Nu before coming this time to go back and present it to our Kunlun God!" If you win, I'll give you this treasure!" ”

Liu Jian also wants empty gloves for the white wolf, so he doesn't care about his so-called treasures.

"Whatever you want."

After that, Liu Jian turned his head to look at Lu Bu and said solemnly: "I don't know if what Sima said in Shicai Guijun is true or false, and I don't know if I really have the ability to fight and kill the bear and tiger, but I want to gamble, as a Han army robe, I should say that my Han army warriors will win, even if I know if I lose, I will also say that you will win!" Do you know what I mean? ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his blood couldn't help but boil, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for joining the army, you should do your best!" ”

Liu Jian turned around, poured a bottle of wine into the pot, and said in a loud voice:

"There are only heroes who drive tigers and leopards, and there are no heroes who are afraid of bears! Just a snow leopard, the team rate is discretionary! ”

In a word, not only Lu Bu, but everyone present couldn't help but be moved.

This Liu Jian either doesn't speak, and when he speaks, he is really arrogant.

Lu Bu laughed: "It's just a beast, why drink alcohol if you want to slaughter it?" Put down the wine, go and come! ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the cage.

Everyone was amazed.

Although Lu Bu is tall and quite powerful, if he fights a snow leopard alone, even if he wins, he will have to be caught with a scar if he doesn't get it right, and finally die of pain.

In this era, tetanus is not a joke, and no one dares to get injured easily, because there is really no medicine.

Lu Bu gestured to Liu Jian with a fist, and then strode to the front of the beast cage and shouted, "Open!" ”

Immediately, a soldier next to him sent a broken blade for Lu Bu to use.

Lu Bu didn't answer, just with his bare hands, and said, "Open!" ”

At this moment, Rao is Dong Zhuo couldn't help but change color.

The Hun envoy and Dong Zhuo Shicai just wanted to see Lu Bu's jokes, and they didn't want this person to be so confident and imposing, as long as they fought the beast with their bare hands.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already vigilant in his heart, and secretly said that this person is really an enemy of ten thousand people?

Beside it, there was a circle of armor soldiers holding halberds and rope sleeves in a circle, trapping the beast cart to death, and another beast rider got into the car and carefully opened the lock, and then quickly retreated to the side.

The snow leopard seemed to feel the loosening of the gate, and then tentatively pushed the top gate with the leopard's head, and the door opened with the slight force of the beast's 'squeak', and the snow leopard immediately jumped into it when it saw it.

But at this time, Lu Bu jumped into the car suddenly, and did not wait for the snow leopard to rush out, but rushed directly into the fence against the beast.

He couldn't react to the leopard, and he hugged it tightly, and locked the snow leopard's throat tightly with his thick elbows.

According to normal reasoning, no matter how brave Lu Bu is, if he doesn't have a weapon, it is never realistic to fight beasts.

It's just that although this leopard is a beast, it is still a half-sized leopard, not fully adult, and has been imprisoned for a while, feeding on time every day, there is no hunger at this time, and after being in contact with people for a long time, it has also lost some of its fighting nature, and opened the gate coldly, and for a while it was too late to react and was suddenly exploited by Lu Bu.

The onlookers couldn't help but applaud!

And Dong Zhuo and Julong Cave's faces were as dead as ashes.

That's a lot of money!

Brute, you'd be merciful!

Although the snow leopard also tried to counterattack Lu Bu with its tail and claws, Lu Bu was powerful and premeditated, and he had already figured out his posture, just not giving the beast a chance to react.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

Time passed little by little, the roar inside the cage shook the sky, everyone outside the cage held their breath, and no one took their eyes off for half a minute.

After a short time, he saw that the trapped beast was strangled to death by Lu Bu, and he died of anger.

Lu Bu also had leopard scratches on his wrinkled arms, but he was also wearing plate armor, and the wounds were not deep, so it was fine.

A moment later, there was a loud cheer from the sergeants of the state!

"Brave!" "Brave!" "Brave!"

"Warrior!"

"Warrior!"

Dong Zhuo had already seen that Lu Bu was extraordinary at this moment.

He no longer held it up, hurriedly stood up, first asked others about Lu Bu's expression, and then ordered someone to immediately prepare a tray of brocade wealth, and then personally held the tray, drank away from the audience, and came to Lu Bu.

"Feng Xian is really a man of dragons and tigers! There are such heroes in the Han army, I am very comforted! What the right person says, they are all playful, don't worry about it first! ”

After that, he handed the tray to Lu Bu and said with a smile: "Be rewarded!" Reward me with the warriors of the five plains!! ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw this generous reward.

He knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, the last official, for your reward!" ”

Zhang Fei looked at it quite unpleasantly on the side, and said to Liu Jian: "Brother, whether it is Dong Zhuo or the Huns, they all speak humiliating and disdain for Na Lu Bu, only my brother dares to stand up and speak for him!" Now that Dong Zhuo has turned his face into a good person and rewarded him with wealth, he has forgotten the humiliating hatred of the right talent, and instead knelt down to thank him! What kind of thing is this! ”

Liu Jian gently shook the wine jar in his hand and said with a smile: "It's also pitiful." ”

"Huh? What's so pitiful about that? ”

"Okay, brother Xian, don't worry too much about other things, there are some things that we do according to our hearts, and what others do has nothing to do with us."

At this time, he saw Lu Bu walk up to Liu Jian again, pick up the wine that Liu Jian poured for him, and drank it all with his head up.

"Thank you for joining the army to speak for someone, this kindness and virtue, cloth will never forget!"

Zhang Fei snorted lightly beside him, not looking at Lu Bu.

Liu Jian said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about." ”

The subsequent banquet returned to Dong Zhuo's show alone, until the end of the banquet.

After the banquet, Dong Zhuo invited Liu Jian and others to stay in his military camp, saying that he wanted to talk with Liu Jian all night and talk about the old feelings.

Liu Jian declined Dong Zhuo's kindness, claiming that there were still some things in his military camp that needed to be dealt with tomorrow, so he would not delay time here.

He didn't want to sleep with Dong Zhuo.

And the Xiongnu envoy Julong Cave looked listless, promising that Liu Jian would send someone to send the treasure to his military camp tomorrow.

Liu Jian doesn't care.

Dong Zhuo knew that Liu Jian's purpose for coming here today was mainly to introduce Zhang Fei to himself and let him take care of him on his behalf.

He patted his chest and assured Liu Jian that before the end of the last half year of his term in Bingzhou, he would definitely find a way to help Zhang Fei fly to the upper level, that is, a Sima who is more than a thousand stones, but at most that's it.

If Zhang Fei wants to be promoted again in the future, he will have to depend on Zhang Fei's own ability.

Dong Zhuo dared to say this, and Liu Jian estimated that he would definitely be able to fulfill it, because he could feel that Dong Zhuo had a heart for friendship with him, and he would not cheat him in this matter.

In this way, Zhang Fei's future in the state in the short term, he can rest assured.

He had to rush back to Zhuo County in the next few days to prepare for filial piety.

……

After bidding farewell to Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian and the others walked to their Tunqu, and suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Liu Jian thought at first that Dong Zhuo was chasing him, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was Lu Bu and Gao Shun.

Lu Bu came to Liu Jian on his horse, then turned over and dismounted, and came to Liu Jian with Gao Shun.

"Liu joined the army, Bout thanked him for joining the army for his previous affairs, and he was rewarded by Uncle Fang for his suitable talents, and he had no time to take care of joining the army, he was really ashamed, and he asked not to blame him for joining the army."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.

Lu Bu, how can you say it?

Although it was the first time they met, Liu Jian was able to come out through a series of things just now, he is indeed very utilitarian, he attaches more importance to interests, and he is also a person who can show himself.

But it can't be completely denied, and there is indeed a bit of boldness in utilitarianism.

Zhang Fei saw that Lu Bu knelt down and flattered him after receiving Dong Zhuo's reward, and he was quite disdainful of him.

But Liu Jian felt that Lu Bu was compared with Dong Zhuo, and even compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao or himself, what was wrong with him?

People live in the world, to put it bluntly, they are chasing something, that is, they are living for resources.

Food is a resource, water is a resource, land is a resource, status is a resource, fame is a resource, and official position is a resource.

Including the ancient scriptures and modern scriptures that are sought after by the complete scholars, how can they not be resources for another situation?

Everyone is for themselves, and no one is a true saint.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and in the competition for interests, no one is truly noble.
