Chapter 714 Liu Bei's Anger

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with thousands of thoughts in his mind. Thinking back on the bumpy experience along the way, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

On the other side, Xi Yu and others are about to leave the territory of the Kushan Kingdom.

The sun was like fire, scorching the earth, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the dense and heavy sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw Chachatu galloping in on a tall horse, followed by many soldiers and smoke billowing from behind.

Xi Yu looked calmly at Cha Cha Tu, who was getting closer and closer. When Cha Cha Tu reined in his horse and stopped, he slightly held his hand.

Chachatu looked anxious and asked loudly: "Prime Minister of Zhongyuan, are you leaving?"

Xiyu nodded.

Chacha Tu got off his horse and walked quickly to Xi Yu, "Guishan is currently facing internal and external troubles. I hope you can stay for a while. Moreover, I also hope that the Central Plains can help me and send some soldiers to help."

Xi Yu frowned and said seriously: "Don't discuss this issue anymore. There is no room for negotiation. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

Chachatu's face was full of disbelief and he said eagerly: "Prime Minister of the Central Plains, how can you be so heartless? The Central Plains and Guishang have always been friendly, but now that we are in trouble, you are so indifferent?"

Xi Yu was unmoved and replied coldly: "I came here this time and my mission is over. There is nothing else I can do."

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is a challenge that Guishang needs to face. I can't make decisions for you, and I can't influence Zhongyuan's decisions."

Chacha Tu's eyes were full of despair and anger: "Prime Minister of the Central Plains, your refusal today will become a stain on history!"

Xi Yu raised his head slightly and looked beyond Chacha Tu into the distance: "History will give a fair judgment, but at this moment, this is all I can do."

After saying that, Xi Yu stopped paying attention to Cha Cha Tu, turned his horse's head, and prepared to lead everyone away.

Chachatu shouted hoarsely from behind: "Prime Minister of the Central Plains, you will regret it!"

Xi Yu paused for a moment, but then he clamped the horse's belly and flew away, leaving only Chacha Tu and his soldiers standing there, full of anger and helplessness.

Someone tried to comfort Chachatu and asked whether they should be killed. Chachatu slapped the speaker and said he was looking for death, "How can we provoke the Central Plains? What happened today is only due to the decline of our national power in Guishan. We cannot force it." Others help.”

The beaten soldier covered his face with a look of grievance and unwillingness, but he did not dare to say any more.

Chacha Tu looked at the direction where Xi Yu and others were leaving, sighed, turned around and slowly left with the soldiers, his figure looking particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Back at the palace, Chachatu sat on the throne, looking tired and sad.

The ministers gathered around and discussed the current situation.

"Your Majesty, since the Central Plains are unwilling to help, we should find another way." A minister said.

"What else can we do? All the neighboring countries are eyeing us." Another minister was worried.

Chachatu rubbed his temples and said: "Shut up, everyone! Now we can only rely on ourselves to strengthen the city defense, train soldiers, and prepare to face the enemy."

The ministers looked at each other and said nothing.

In Xianbei, Hong Gang and Tuoba Tianlong often led everyone to go hunting together.

Every hunting trip is full of passion and excitement. Over time, many people become addicted to hunting.

On this day, the sun was still blazing, and everyone was ready to set off again.

However, Tuoba Tianlong stood up and said: "Let's not hunt today. First, we have obtained a lot of prey, which is enough for the tribe to enjoy for a while; secondly, everyone has been hunting for days and is exhausted physically and mentally. It is time to take a rest. "

After everyone heard this, although they felt reluctant to give up, they also understood that what Tuoba Tianlong said was reasonable. Someone muttered in a low voice: "I stopped fighting suddenly, and my hands are really itchy."

But they just muttered a few words in private, and then they dispersed and went back to their tents to rest.

Hong Gang accompanied Tuoba Tianlong quietly.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely, surrounded by a group of respectful servants, serving them carefully.

Tuoba Tianlong was sipping the tea cup. Suddenly, he felt a severe headache coming over him. He couldn't help but frowned and held his forehead with his hand.

When Hong Gang saw this, he was secretly happy. He knew it was the effect of the medicine, but he pretended to be panicked.

He quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Chief, what's wrong with you?"

There was concern and worry in his eyes, but he was sneering in his heart: Huh, I finally succeeded.

Tuoba Tianlong endured his headache and looked at Hong Gang with some doubts, as if he wanted to see some clues from his expression.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I...my head suddenly hurts..."

Hong Gang continued to pretend to be anxious, while patting Tuoba Tianlong's back, he said: "Chief, don't worry, I will send someone to call the doctor right now!" But he was thinking about the next plan in his heart.

Seeing how painful Tuoba Tianlong was, the servants hurriedly lifted him to the bed.

They looked nervous, moved in panic, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Hong Gang pretended to be anxious and quickly called a doctor, but he knew very well that it would be useless to call any doctor.

He looked at Tuoba Tianlong lying on the bed, feeling secretly proud in his heart, but his face still looked worried.

After the doctor arrived in a hurry, Hong Gang pretended to be concerned and said: "Doctor, look at what happened to the leader? We must save the leader!"

There was false eagerness in his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart: Hum, no matter how you look at it, you can't change this outcome.

On the other side, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and others continued on their way without stopping.

At night, they checked into an inn.

In the room, Zhao Yun talked to Zhou Yu alone with a lonely face about all the embarrassing things about him this time.

He lowered his head and said with guilt on his face: "I feel really sorry for the Prime Minister. I actually lost Chen Shou, who was so fond of the Prime Minister." His eyes were full of self-blame and regret.

Zhou Yu gently patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and comforted him gently: "Zilong, don't blame yourself so much. There have been many changes along the way, and it's not your fault alone. Besides, things may turn around, so don't be so discouraged." Frustrated.”

Zhao Yun raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said firmly: "I am ready. No matter how the Prime Minister wants to punish me, I will accept it."

His expression was solemn, and he seemed to be ready to face all the consequences. Although he was worried, he also felt responsible.

Zhou Yu looked at him and nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

In the dark prison, Fang Jun.

Liu Bei came slowly.

He stood in front of Guan Yu's cell door, waved his hands solemnly, and said, "Everyone, please step aside."

After everyone retreated, Guan Yu's resolute face showed a hint of urgency, and he asked in a low voice: "Brother, how is the matter?"

In the dark prison, Fang Jun stood quietly aside.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu solemnly and said softly: "The messenger has delivered the letter to the border crossing, but Xi Yu probably hasn't returned yet and hasn't seen it yet."

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of helplessness, "So, I have to wrong my second brother for you to continue to be in this prison. I can't let you out yet, lest others spread rumors."

After Guan Yu heard this, he was slightly startled at first, then raised his head and burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the cell.

He looked at Liu Bei, his eyes full of determination and relief, and said loudly: "Haha, brother, as long as you can always be good to me, I, Guan Yu, don't care! What kind of grievance is this!"

At this time, Guan Yu thought: As long as it is for the great cause of his eldest brother, this grievance is nothing. He believes that his eldest brother must have his own arrangements.

Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but moisten when he saw Guan Yu's cheerful look. He took a step forward, held Guan Yu's hand tightly, and said movingly: "Second brother, I have wronged you."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's slightly sad expression and quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't be sad."

A hearty smile broke out on his face, and his eyes were full of sincerity and open-mindedness. "Brother, I really feel very happy. It doesn't matter if I can fight side by side with eldest brother, even if I am in this prison at the moment!"

Guan Yu thought in his heart that as long as he could be with his elder brother, no matter what he went through, it would be worth it. This little hardship was nothing at all.

Liu Bei was even more moved after hearing Guan Yu's words. He held Guan Yu's hand tightly and said with a choked voice: "Second brother..." His eyes were full of love and gratitude.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's moved expression and screamed in his heart. He knew his eldest brother's temper and was afraid he would cry endlessly.

So Guan Yu quickly pretended to be tired and said: "Brother, I'm a little tired and want to rest. You go ahead and do your work first."

Guan Yu's face deliberately looked tired, but he was thinking in his heart not to make his elder brother so sad anymore.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped his tears, looked at Guan Yu with some reluctance, and said, "Then have a good rest, the eldest brother will leave now."

After speaking, Liu Bei slowly turned around and left while holding back his tears.

His steps were a little heavy, and his heart was full of concern and reluctance for Guan Yu.

Outside the cell, the jailers gathered together and talked quietly.

"I think Guan Yu is definitely not guilty. Lord Liu must have deliberately kept him in this way." A jailer said in a low voice, with a look of determination on his face.

Another jailer quickly waved his hand and said nervously: "Oh, don't talk casually, it will be bad if Lord Liu hears it."

At this moment, Liu Bei slowly walked out of the cell and heard what they said word for word.

His face instantly became very embarrassed, and his face turned blue and white.

I saw Liu Bei angrily pointing at the jailers and shouting: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you all!" His eyes were full of majesty and anger, and his heart was ashamed and annoyed. Thinking about how these people can speculate so wantonly.

The jailers were so frightened by Liu Bei's appearance that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to express their anger.

The jailer said tremblingly: "Lord, we will never talk nonsense again."

Liu Bei snorted coldly and walked away, saying, "I will forgive you this time."

Several jailers quickly returned to the prison with relief.

After a while, Liu Bei, who had already walked some distance, thought more and more that something was wrong. He immediately turned back angrily to the prison and shouted loudly: "Those jailers, come out!"

Several jailers walked out tremblingly, and Liu Bei asked with a gloomy face: "Who is making such random remarks?"

The jailer who spoke first stood up and said, "Yes... I was the first to speak, but didn't you say you don't care?"

His face was full of fear and confusion.

Liu Bei's eyes were wide open, staring at him and said, "Humph, if I don't care, how can I establish my authority!"

Liu Bei's face was full of anger, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily, "Don't think I don't know that many people are talking about me behind my back! They say I'm a crybaby and don't have the vigor of a man! Humph, don't think I'm easy to bully!"

He glanced at the jailers, then pointed at the jailer who said bad things, and said sternly, "I must establish my authority today! The rest of you, beat him up!"

The jailers were so scared that their faces turned pale, and the jailer who was pointed at was even more terrified, and quickly begged for mercy, "My lord, spare my life, my lord! I won't dare to do it again!"

But Liu Bei was unmoved and still glared at them.

Although the other jailers were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Liu Bei's order and hesitantly hit the jailer.

Liu Bei looked at this scene, his face still gloomy, thinking in his heart: I must let these people know that I am not easy to mess with!

Liu Bei stood aside, staring at the jailers' movements closely, and soon he realized that something was wrong. Their movements were obviously perfunctory, which was clearly letting them go!

Liu Bei's face became even gloomier in an instant, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Whoever doesn't use force will be beaten with him!" His voice shook the air around him, and his heart was full of anger. These people dared to perfunctorily treat him like this.

When the jailers heard this, they all showed a look of horror on their faces. They looked at each other and saw helplessness and fear in each other's eyes.

The jailer who spoke first was so scared that he trembled all over and regretted it in his heart.

There was no choice but to grit his teeth and beat the jailer who said bad things.

Liu Bei watched them start to exert force, and his expression eased a little, but his eyes still showed majesty.

After a while, the jailer who was beaten was covered with wounds and fell to the ground, almost losing consciousness.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, stop."

There was no trace of pity on his face, and he only thought that his majesty must be maintained.

Then, Liu Bei said coldly: "Take him to see the doctor."

After that, he turned and left, leaving the jailers to hurriedly lift the injured jailer and go to find the doctor for treatment.

At this time, Liu Bei's heart was also a little complicated, but he knew that sometimes he had to be cruel.

Guan Yu sat in the cell, hearing the noise coming from outside and Liu Bei's angry rebuke, he frowned slightly, thinking in his heart: Big brother is going to establish his authority.

He shook his head helplessly, with a look of understanding on his face.

On the other side, Xi Yu rode a horse, galloping with a gloomy face.

The figure of Tuoba Yu appeared in his mind involuntarily, his teeth were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of annoyance and resentment.

"Why do I still think of that woman!" Xi Yu roared in his heart, "I am so disappointing!" He whipped the horse whip hard, trying to dispel the shadow in his mind, but the shadow was like a ghost and could not be shaken off.

His face was full of pain and struggle, and his heart was full of contempt for himself.

Xiao Hong looked at the prime minister with a strange look, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly and said softly: "He must have thought of Tuoba Yu again."

At this time, Xi Yu seemed to be possessed, whipping the horse hard, and the horse rushed out as fast as an arrow from a string.

Song Shuwen, who was riding the same horse with Xiyu, turned pale with fear and screamed in horror: "Ah! Prime Minister, slow down!"

His heart was beating wildly, and he hugged Xiyu's waist tightly with both hands, and his heart was full of fear.

Xiyu seemed to have heard nothing. There was only the shadow of Tuoba Yu in his mind. His heart was full of pain and struggle, and his face was almost crazy.

The horse finally stopped slowly after a gallop. Xiyu realized his gaffe just now.

He looked at Song Shuwen with guilt on his face and said anxiously: "Shuwen, I'm sorry, just now I..."

Song Shuwen sighed helplessly, looked at Xiyu, and said softly: "Prime Minister, Mrs. Tuoba and you may really have no fate, so don't keep entangled."

His eyes were full of concern and helplessness, and he felt sad for Xiyu in his heart.

Xiyu listened, and a trace of pain appeared on his face, thinking secretly in his heart: I know it, but why can't I forget her.

He bit his lip and said slowly, "I... I know." But his eyes still revealed the sadness that was hard to hide.

The horses ridden by Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong also hurried over. Ouyang Linlin hurriedly dismounted and came to Xiyu, saying with a worried look on her face, "Husband, don't be too sad."

Xiyu raised his head slightly, smiled, and said casually, "I'm fine, don't worry."

In his heart, he was thinking: No matter how painful it is, no matter what, you can't show your emotions so obviously on your face, and you can't let others worry about you all the time.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xiyu and suddenly said quietly: "Husband, I envy Tuoba Yu a little. You care so much about him."

Xiyu was shocked when he heard it. He quickly reached out and grabbed Ouyang Linlin's arms tightly. His eyes were full of fear and panic. He said anxiously: "Linlin, please don't leave me!"

Ouyang Linlin was frightened by Xiyu's behavior. She looked at Xiyu's nervous look and said quickly: "Husband, I won't, I won't leave you." (End of this chapter)
