The sudden move made Liu Bei and Liu Ye stunned at the same time.

"What do you mean? And Zilong, you."

Seeing Zhao Yun's embarrassed face, the man guessed that the other party saw him as a bad person, but he was very pleased with his loyalty and vigilance.

The guards are all so good, and the master will not be any worse.

He ignored Zhao Yun, and said solemnly: "Shu has been drifting for many years, and finally met the Ming Lord, so that if you don't give up, you are willing to serve dogs and horses." ”

"Let's get up first."

Xu Shu recognized that the master was too sudden, which made Liu Bei at a loss, but he instinctively stretched out his hands to help.

Zhao Yun at the door was even more at a loss, and said in his heart What is the situation?

Is this man a confessor? But is he a civil or a martial artist?

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Zhao Yun secretly hid the long sword behind him.

Rong Ma has been in the past ten years, and he has never been so embarrassed.

"I remember."

Liu Ye pointed at Xu Shuzhi and nodded: "I once heard the scholar of the academy say that Xu Yuanzhi lives in Xiangyang, Yingchuan, you are not only a scholar, but also a friend of Mr. Shuijing, but a brother?" ”

"Mr. Ziyang's praise." Xu Shu turned around and bowed to Liu Ye, and said: "Although I am the same age as you, I am not as famous as you, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Liu Ye said modestly: "It's not worth mentioning a small name, but it's actually an exaggeration."

"Exaggeration? You are too modest. ”

Xu Shu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gong has repeatedly made strange plans in Runan, and Cao Cao's army is like a dog, and he can't play with Cao Jun without real talent and learning?" ”

Liu Ye didn't like to praise and boast, so he reminded Liu Bei with a smile: "Envoy, aren't you visiting the virtuous to seek talents?" Now that the great talent is in front of you, why is it indifferent? ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhixiu is strange, I can't be happy myself, I'm a little out of shape."

Xu Shu bowed his hand in return: "Don't say that, I will test it in front of the door, and I hope that the lord will be forgiving." ”

"Is it a fabrication?"

Liu Bei first showed curiosity, and then beckoned Xu Shu to take a seat: "Come on, come on, let's all sit down and talk, don't block the road at the door." ”

Xu Shu sat down, looked at Liu Bei and said solemnly: "What is contained in the "Soma Sutra" is true, but the horse can only hinder the lord, and I see that the lord is the lord of the majesty, and it should not hinder you." ”

"Yuan Zhizhen can speak, by the way, Ziyang, you already know each other, I will introduce you to these two generals, this is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong"

When Liu Bei made an introduction, Zhao Yun secretly drew his sword into the sheath and didn't want to make a sound, and happened to be 'caught' by the three of them.

"I've seen Mr. Yuanzhi."

Zhao Yun immediately put his sword into the sheath and gave a military salute to Xu Shu with his fists clenched.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "General Zilong doesn't need to be polite, I didn't say anything outside the door, how about we compare swordsmanship when we are empty?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Zhao Yun nodded in response, and then did not forget to remind: "If you talk about swordsmanship alone, in fact, the master's swordsmanship is better." ”

"Haha." Liu Bei didn't deny it after hearing this, and suddenly smiled: "Yuan Zhi is the best sword match with me, I'm afraid that Zilong will hurt you." ”

Xu Shu politely responded, and Liu Bei introduced Chen to him again.

Everyone originally went to the banquet and returned, and it was said that there was no need to eat at night, but because of Xu Shu's sudden addition, Liu Bei asked people to prepare wine and food, which was regarded as a pick-up for the new members.

At night, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi took turns guarding outside the door.

Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and Liu Ye chatted all night until dawn, and they drank while discussing the general trend of the world.

Xu Shu sat at the banquet and answered like a stream, Liu Bei thought that he was not equal to Liu Ye, when talking about the method of using troops in battle, Xu Shu was obviously better than Liu Ye.

After Liu Ye tried Xu Shu to learn, he hurriedly reminded Liu Bei, who had a 'fan brother' expression: "You have been looking for talents for a long time, why worry about the big things now?" You should take him back to Wancheng and worship him as a military advisor in front of all the generals. ”

Xu Shu shook his head to sober himself up, and said modestly: "With Ziyang Zhuyu in front, how can Shu come from behind?" ”

"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be too humble, since Ziyang said so, you should take it seriously."

Liu Bei paused when he said this, and then looked at Xu Shu with expectant eyes: "Could it be that Yuanzhi has no great talent?" Ziyang said you and Mr. Shui Jing."

"Envoy." Liu Ye stopped Liu Bei and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Shui Jing is a hermit, I am afraid it will be difficult to invite him out of the mountain."

Liu Bei disagreed: "Everyone is born in troubled times, and it is difficult for hermits to be at ease, Yuan Zhi is a friend of Shuijing, maybe you can give it a try."

"What Zi Yang said is not bad, Decao (Sima Hui) is tranquil by nature and has no quarrel with the world, he will not go out of the mountain to be an official, this Jing Xiang has a lot of talents, but"

Xu Shu originally wanted to tell Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, but they had made it clear that they would not vote for Liu Bei, so they couldn't say it when the words came to their lips.

Liu Bei had heard of Pang Degong's name, and he also knew that he had rejected Liu Biao's Zhengpi, even if he could invite him out of the mountain, he couldn't, and he said in his heart that it would make Liu Biao suspicious.

"Lao Ziyun: Contentment is enough, always sufficient. Since hermits can't be asked, and preparations can't be forced, now there are three people who are plotting for me, which is much better than it was at the beginning. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's exclamation, Xu Shu looked puzzled, and said in his heart that my ears are small and I don't hear clearly?

A conspiracy of the trio? Apart from me and Liu Ziyang, is there anyone else?

Is it because I've been exploring for half a year? Or is Uncle Liu Huang wrong? Didn't find such important information?

"Ahem."

Liu Bei reacted when he heard Liu Ye's cough, he didn't want to hide it from Xu Shu and couldn't do without the slightest city government, after all, the two had just met, and it was necessary to observe and understand each other's background, so he explained to Xu Shu with a smile:

"You and I live in Xiangyang are all guests, some things are inconvenient to talk about in the guest's house, wait for two days when we return to Wancheng, and then tell the details to Yuan Zhi in detail."

"It's fine."

Although Xu Shu was curious, he still chose to obey.

After communicating with Liu Bei for a night, Xu Shu found that Liu Bei was benevolent, tenacious, and eloquent, and he was a good seedling who became a big man, and there were many talents under his command.

In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who have become famous in Wancheng, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, who have just 'not fought and don't know each other', are all rare fierce generals.

And the hidden mastermind, this lord, it seems that it is really not simple

Kong Ming, Guangyuan, I'm afraid you're looking away.

It is necessary to display ambitions as soon as possible, just like Lu has the ability to travel thousands of miles, and he can't go by himself without riding.

Xu Shu plans to help Liu Bei make some achievements, and then recommend it to Zhuge Liang, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Jun and others.

As for Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, Xu Shu thinks there is nothing to persuade.

Worrying about the future of the Pang family in Jingzhou is a salty radish and a little worry.

Liu Bei was lucky enough to accept Xu Shu and learned that his mother lived in Xiangyang.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei stayed up all night without sleep, and asked Zhao Yun to buy gifts on the street, and took Xu Shu to visit him.

Mother Xu had heard of Liu Bei's name and was very supportive of her son's assistance to Lord Ming.

Although Xu Shu's family is poor and simple, Xu's mother knows etiquette and righteousness, and Liu Bei immediately passed the 'political trial' of the military advisor.

Liu Bei asked Xu Shu and his mother to tidy up, and when he asked Liu Biao to resign, they would return to Wancheng together.
