Chapter 222 Are you playing hard to get with me?
Under the leadership of Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhi and Ling Ju entered the Sikong Mansion and soon arrived outside the reception room.
Before they got close, the three heard a long sigh coming from the hall.
"What's going on?" Cao Zhi was puzzled.
"It's Wenyuan and Wenqian!" Cao Zhang explained.
"Before, you and Mr. Jia went to the emperor and ordered the three of us to lead 3,000 cavalry to hunt down Liu Bei!"
"I didn't expect the big-eared thief to be so cunning!"
"After realizing someone was chasing us from behind, we split into two groups. First, we sent Guan Yu to lead a group to block us on the road, and then we sent another person to pretend to be us and escape in front!"
"Therefore, we will split our forces into two groups. I will lead a thousand men to pursue the fake Liu Bei, while Wen Yuan and Wen Qian will stay behind to stop Guan Yu!"
"And the result was that I led a thousand men in pursuit, only to discover that the person I was chasing was a fake Liu Bei. The two of them surrounded Guan Yu, but were defeated by Guan Yu, allowing Liu Bei and Guan Yu to escape!"
Having said this, Cao Zhang suddenly lowered his voice and whispered:
"I heard that even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Guan Yu. If Guan Yu hadn't remembered his old relationship with Wen Yuan, they wouldn't have been able to return!"
Seeing Cao Zhang speak so clearly.
Ling Ju was completely stunned.
She remembered that the two people in the hall were Cao Zhi's subordinates.
Guan Yu was Liu Bei's subordinate.
Why the man in front of me.
He actually dared to say in front of Cao Zhi that some of them had a past relationship with Guan Yu, and that they were able to survive because Guan Yu remembered their old friendship!
What does it mean?
Talking bad about colleagues behind their backs?
Think of this.
Ling Ju looked at Cao Zhang with a look full of contempt.
She vaguely remembered.
When I was training.
Because a companion praised Cao Cao.
The companion himself and several people around him were beheaded in public.
Thinking about what happened to my former companions.
At this moment, Lingju's heart.
I couldn't help but worry about the man named "Wenyuan" in the hall, and "Wenqian" beside Wenyuan.
But what Lingju didn't expect was.
After Cao Zhi heard what Cao Zhang said.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"I know Guan Yu's reputation. Wenyuan and the others have done their best!"
As they were talking, the three of them walked into the reception room.
In the reception room at this time.
Jia Xu sat in his seat.
The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
Being in a trance and not communicating with others.
As for Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
Zhang Liao's arm was bandaged and Le Jin's thigh was bandaged.
Both of them were injured by Guan Yu.
……
There was anger on both of their faces at this moment.
Obviously, the two of them heard the conversation between Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.
See Cao Zhi and two others appear.
The two of them first glared at Cao Zhang fiercely.
Just when they were about to explain to Cao Zhi.
But Cao Zhi said:
"But compared to me, Guan Yu is just so-so!"
As soon as these words came out.
Directly choked Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
Looking at Cao Zhi who had a teasing look on his face at this time.
The two of them then smiled in relief.
they know.
Cao Zhi said this.
It's to liven up the atmosphere.
Instead of deliberately mocking and ridiculing the two of them.
Since Cao Zhi took the initiative to speak, he livened up the atmosphere.
That means.
Whether to capture Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
It means little to Cao Zhi.
……
After appeasing Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
Cao Zhi looked at Cao Zhang and said:
"Where are the good things?"
"Oh!"
Cao Zhang was stunned at first, then he clapped his hands.
The next moment, a scholar with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes was brought in by soldiers.
"Zijian, it was this scholar who pretended to be the Big Eared Thief to confuse us. I heard from the captives that he is the Big Eared Thief's newly recruited staff!"
Cao Zhang said with a smug look on his face.
He remembered the time when he was in Sikong Mansion in Yecheng.
Jia Xu once said that Liu Bei had found a strategist whose wisdom was no less than his own.
Cao Zhang concluded that the person Jia Xu was talking about was this person.
That's why Cao Zhang pretended to be mysterious when he was at the gate of Sikong Mansion just now.
……
At this moment, after hearing Cao Zhang's words.
Jia Xu opened his eyes immediately.
Zhang Liao and Le Jin were stunned at this moment.
They both remembered that Cao Zhang did not mention this to them!
"Shit, your last name is Cao and you're still so arrogant!"
The two of them couldn't help but complain in their hearts that Cao Zhang was not a good son.
"you are?"
Cao Zhi walked up to the scholar and spoke cautiously.
"I, Shan Fu, a man from the mountains, greet the Fourth Young Master!"
The scholar bowed and said.
"Shan Fu?"
Cao Zhi was stunned and realized that this was Xu Shu's alias.
Cao Zhi laughed and said, "No, you are Xu Shu!"
???
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
They didn't understand why Cao Zhi could call out the name of the scholar in front of him.
Jia Xu looked at Cao Zhi with more and more confusion.
As for Xu Shu, he first looked at Cao Zhi deeply, then said:
"No, I'm Shanfu!"
"I know where your mother is!" said Cao Zhi.
Xu Shu was silent for a while, then he said helplessly:
"Yes, I am Xu Shu!"
"I've heard that those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm other people's relatives..."
Xu Shu said again.
"Don't talk nonsense. I just want you to admit that you are Xu Shu!"
Cao Zhi laughed.
Xu Shu: “…”
After a while, Xu Shu said:
"The Fourth Young Master asked me to admit my identity, and I did. I wonder if the Fourth Young Master has any other requests?"
"Submit to me and be my aide!" said Cao Zhi.
"This..." Xu Shu hesitated.
After a long time, Xu Shu said:
"I promised Uncle Liu that if I were to fall into your hands, I would never surrender to you...even if you threaten me with my mother's life!"
"What the hell!"
Seeing that Xu Shu was so stubborn, Cao Zhang couldn't stand it anymore.
Cao Zhang was already very angry because Xu Shu had deceived him by pretending to be Liu Bei.
Seeing Cao Zhi's kind words, Xu Shu refused to listen.
Cao Zhang felt that he needed to let Xu Shu know why the flowers were so red.
But he was stopped by Cao Zhi.
Looking at Xu Shu in front of him.
Recalling the original history of the Three Kingdoms.
The relationship between Liu Bei and Xu Shu as king and subject.
Regarding the two parties involved in this story.
Cao Zhi admired him very much.
Plus after I traveled through time.
Liu Bei and others no longer had any hope of turning the situation around.
In that case, what if Xu Shu doesn't follow me?
After pondering for a moment, Cao Zhi said:
"I'll let you go back and support your mother!"
"Are you serious???"
Xu Shu couldn't believe his ears.
"Of course it's true, but I have a request!"
Cao Zhi said.
"really!"
Seeing Cao Zhi say this, Xu Shu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Judging from Xu Shu's past experience.
He guessed that Cao Zhi was playing hard to get with him.
Its real purpose is to force yourself to submit.
"But you underestimated me!" Xu Shu thought to himself.
Xu Shu told himself secretly in his heart.
If Cao Zhi's next request is too excessive.
Then I have no choice but to die to repay Uncle Liu.
In Xu Shu's anxiety.
Cao Zhi smiled and said:
"After you go back, take good care of your mother!"
"If you want to be an official in the future, you must either join my school or never be an official!"
Just a few words made Xu Shu's brain crash instantly.
After a long while, Xu Shu bowed deeply to Cao Zhi and said solemnly:
"The Fourth Young Master's kindness is so great that Xu Shu will never forget it!"
"Please rest assured, Fourth Young Master, Xu Shu will definitely keep his promise!"
After saying this.
Make sure Cao Zhi won't embarrass him again.
Xu Shu bowed to Cao Zhang again, then left...
