After sending Xu Shu away, Liu Bei sighed, but he still couldn't bear to part with him.
You must know that Xu Shu really helped him a lot. To achieve today's achievements, it can be said that Xu Huang has one-third of the credit. Now it is given to Cao Cao. I don't know how Cao Cao or Chen Zhou will handle it in the future. Xu Shu.
Returned home.
"uncle!"
Liu Qi came again and asked, "I'm feeling a little unwell today. I didn't go out of the city to see him off. Is Yuan Zhi leaving?"
As he spoke, he coughed twice, his face looked a little pale and haggard, as if he was ill.
"Yuan Zhi is gone, are you okay, Shijun?"
As Liu Bei spoke, he glanced at Chen Gong secretly, thinking that this medicine was really powerful. Liu Qi started to have physical problems within a short time of taking it, acting as if he was sick. It can be said that it kills people invisible.
Chen Gong lowered his head and did not make eye contact with Liu Bei. However, he was quite confident in his medicine and thought that Xu Shu was almost gone.
Liu Qi shook his head and said: "I'm fine. Uncle is in front of me. You don't need to be so polite. Just call me nephew as before. It's a pity... Yuan Zhi shouldn't have left."
Seeing that Liu Qi admired him so much, Liu Bei sighed and wondered whether it was too immoral and cruel to do so. He said: "I also want to keep Yuan Zhi, but filial piety is the most important thing... My nephew is unwell." , it’s better to go back and rest, everything will be fine as long as I’m here.”
"good!"
Liu Qi nodded slightly, took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Please uncle!"
He really couldn't hold it any longer, so he didn't say anything else, and really went back. There were doctors waiting at home to treat him at any time, but they couldn't cure anything.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bei felt guilty again.
Do you want to talk to Chen Gong and let Liu Qi go?
But if we let it go, how can Jingzhou be in our hands?
Jingzhou is still more important, and helping the Han Dynasty is more important. The only way to do this is to wrong Liu Qi.
Liu Bei learned a saying he learned from being around Cao Cao, and said to himself: "I will support your wife!"
Ever since, his heart became firm again.
"Lord!"
Zhuge Liang was still unclear about Liu Bei's complicated thoughts. At this time, he bowed and said: "Yuan Zhi has left. Whether we can get him back in the future depends on future opportunities. But without Yuan Zhi, we will have one less person around us." Great help, Lord, do you still remember Fengchu Pang Shiyuan?"
"of course I remember!"
Liu Bei nodded quickly.
The sleeping dragon and phoenix chick will soon be in his hands, and Liu Bei suddenly feels that hope is back.
No matter how powerful Chen Duzhi is, I don't believe I can overwhelm you with my Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.
Liu Bei said again: "I will go and invite Mr. Feng Chu."
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said: "Lord, don't be anxious. I'm worried that things in Linju County will happen again. You need to be cautious when inviting Shi Yuan to come out. I will write a letter later and have someone send it to Shi Yuan to see where he is. What’s the situation like?”
As long as Zhuge Liang doesn't figure out why the people on Cao Cao's side know so much about him, Zhuge Liang will never feel at ease.
Worried that Pang Tong was also targeted.
Liu Bei also felt it was necessary and temporarily suppressed various moods.
——
Xu Shu left Xiangyang and headed north directly.
He left alone without any followers. When he fled to Jingzhou, he came alone without anyone. When he returned to the north of Xinye and was about to enter the Wancheng area, he did not know that he was being captured by two people. The gang is watching.
One of the groups was naturally led by Cao Gu, who wanted to pretend to assassinate Xu Shu's team. In order to successfully complete the task, Cao Gu personally led the team here and waited.
The other group is Chen Dao's team, mainly to bring Xu Shu back.
By coincidence, they all chose to take action here.
"General."
A subordinate ran back and said: "We unexpectedly discovered that there is another group of people waiting for Xu Shu to go north."
"Another group?"
Cao Gu was surprised when he heard this, but soon he narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it possible that Liu Bei's people are not willing to let Xu Shu go back?"
He thought this possibility was very high, thought for a while and said: "Go to Wancheng immediately and send a team of soldiers out to meet Xu Shu."
Why pretend to kill Xu Shu?
Cao Gu can probably guess this reason.
The purpose is to get Xu Shu and the information Xu Shu knows about Liu Bei. This information is of great value. Now that Liu Bei's people have sent this assist, Cao Gu feels that Liu Bei is a good person!
In this case, he changed his strategy.
You can't have two teams show up at the same time, or watch Liu Bei's men take action.
They quickly took off their black clothes, revealing their own Cao Jun's clothes, and then lurked and waited for Liu Bei's men to take action first.
Xu Shu had no idea what was about to happen.
Anxious to go back to see her mother, she rode her horse and ran very fast.
Suddenly, the horse stumbled.
Herod...
The mournful sound of war horses echoed in the woods.
Xu Shu was in a hurry and hurried on. He never thought that something like this would happen. He was suddenly shocked and realized that it was a tripping rope and he was thrown to the ground.
Who would use a tripping rope to trip themselves up here?
Xu Shu's first reaction was that there was an enemy and the situation was very bad. The moment he landed, he rolled across the ground, absorbing the impact of falling to the ground, and took out the sword at the same time.
Just as he jumped up, Xu Shu saw more than ten men in black suddenly appearing.
According to Chen Gong's idea, Xu Shu should not be allowed to go back, but when arresting people, he must be decisive. It is best not to reveal his identity first, and take the person back before explaining. Otherwise, Chen Gong might be persuaded by Xu Shu if he shows his face directly and takes action. , unable to take people back, so Chen Dao and others were all dressed in black and masked.
Seeing this, Cao Gu sighed again, Liu Bei's people really gave him an assist.
"who are you?"
When Xu Shu saw Chen Dao and others masked in black, his vigilance immediately went to the highest level.
Back then, he avenged people and killed people. It can be seen that he was not a weak scholar, but a person with certain strength, similar to a ranger. However, he later became a disciple of Sima Hui and stopped being a ranger.
However, it does not mean that a good martial arts skill is wasted like this.
Chen Dao and the others didn't say anything and just took action.
The purpose is to decisively capture Xu Shu and then take him back.
More than ten men in black took action at the same time.
Xu Shu didn't know who the other party was and why he wanted to kill him, but he was not someone to be bullied. He brandished his long sword and started fighting with the other party.
Ordinary men in black were no match for Xu Shu, and several of them were quickly beaten back.
Chen Dao watched from the outside, looking for opportunities to take action.
Soon, the opportunity came.
He struck Xu Shu with his sword, aiming to knock the long sword out of Xu Shu's hand so that he could be captured easily.
"court death!"
Xu Shu shouted angrily and turned around to block Chen Dao's attack.
Chen Dao never expected that Xu Shu's swordsmanship was not weak, and the sneak attack was blocked. When he was about to find another chance, Cao Gu saw that it was almost done, and a group of soldiers sent to Wancheng also arrived.
"who are you?"
Cao Gu pretended to have just arrived, shouted loudly, and said: "Is this person Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi?"
