Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four Xu Shu, the Reincarnation of Fate
Guan Yu was slightly stunned when he was about Zhou Yukun's problem. He first glared at Zhang Fei, who was talking too much, and then looked at Zhou Yukun with complicated eyes: "Xu Shu...he..."
Guan Yu's hesitant look made Zhou Yukun even more anxious: "What's wrong with Mr. Xu Shu? Could it be that he... has passed away?"
When Guan Yu heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Xu Shu has not passed away. But...ah, it seems that the eldest brother is not here now, so it's okay to tell Brother Zilong! In fact, this is the case, and this matter has something to do with you."
"It has something to do with me, too?" Zhou Yukun raised his hand in confusion and pointed at him.
Guan Yu nodded: "Yes, I still remember that it was the third day after we successfully escaped from Xinye. Xu Shu, who had been living in Jiangxia City, suddenly disappeared and left a letter on the table."
"Letters? What does the content of the letter say?"
"I haven't read the letter in person. But that afternoon, after reading the letter, my elder brother suddenly called for his servant to bring in more than a dozen jars of wine. When I heard about this, I hurried to my elder brother's room. However, he was already drunk at that time, and only got slightly better after drinking sobering soup. So he mentioned Xu Shu's affairs to me half drunk and half awake. The elder brother said that Xu Shu confessed everything in the letter, confessing that he was actually an undercover agent sent by Cao Cao to the lord, and he secretly passed many of the lord's military secrets to Cao Cao..."
"Impossible! Mr. Xu Shu and Liu Bei are as close as brothers. He not only tried his best to give advice to Liu Bei, but also went to the battlefield in person. How could he be an undercover agent!"
Guan Yu could only smile bitterly when he asked Zhou Yukun's question: "At that time, I had the same expression as you, and I didn't believe it. But then the elder brother said that Xu Shu was actually a miserable person, and he had difficulties in working for Cao Cao. In reality, Xu Shu's family was very ordinary, but he had a severely ill mother, but the cost of the operation was too expensive and he could not afford it. At this time, Cao Cao found him and asked him to lurk to the elder brother and provide him with reliable information. Cao Cao paid for his mother..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yukun's expression was completely stunned. Mother, his mother! This scene similar to history shocked Zhou Yukun in place. He never expected that Mr. Xu Shu would leave Brother Liu Bei because of his mother!
"What after?"
Guan Yu sighed: "After that, Xu Shu agreed to Cao Cao's request. After all, compared with a person he didn't know at all, his mother's life is more important! So, he came to the elder brother's side smoothly, and we never doubted him. After all, Xu Shu was really the elder brother's military advisor in history. When he first followed us, it was also the hardest days we had, and he ran around every day. At that time, we thought it was just bad luck, but we didn't know that it was Xu Shu who leaked our intelligence! Later, the lord trusted him more and more and gave him more rights, and he was gradually moved by his lord's intentions. He was always entangled in his heart, whether to betray the elder brother's trust for his mother; or to confess everything that he gave up his mother!"
"Then what did he choose?" Although he already knew the result, Zhou Yukun couldn't help but hope that things would develop in a better direction.
Guan Yu looked at Zhou Yukun with deep meaning: "Then, until he heard that you were almost buried in Cao's army in order to protect the fleeing people and brother. Xu Shu said that he was moved by you. He saw his despicable appearance in you. When a person faces justice, how could he still ignore his personal feelings? I believe that his mother will not forgive him after knowing this! So, he decided to leave here and go back to Cao Cao. Although he will definitely not be reused after he goes back,... he must go back!"
After telling all the experiences, Guan Yu lowered his head heavily: "Actually, I have never blamed him. Although he had betrayed us, he also used countless tricks to protect us! Speaking of which, the three of us brothers also owe him a lot of lives!"
At this time, Zhou Yukun didn't know what to evaluate. After all, he had not been in contact with Xu Shu for a long time. He only remembered that when he asked him to go quickly, Liu Bei was in danger. His eyes were firm. He knew that doing so would make Cao Cao's plan fail, and his mother would face danger, but he still did it without hesitation. From this point alone, Zhou Yukun was already extremely impressed by him. If it were him, it would be difficult to achieve his level!
Brother Xu Shu, you respect me too much. In front of me, you are not only not a despicable person, but a brave and resourceful wise man! However, Zhou Yukun can only tell these words in his heart, and he doesn’t know if he may meet him in his life?
For a moment, the atmosphere outside the yard became low. Guan Yu and Zhou Yukun felt that things were impermanent because of Xu Shu's affairs, while Zhang Fei was always worried about the punishment he said to his elder brother, and he didn't know what punishment actually made this man so nervous!
At this time, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he shouted: "It's out, brother, you're finally out!"
Yes, Liu Bei had already come out of Qin Yue's room at this time, but Qin Yue did not follow him. In addition, Liu Bei's solemn expression on his face was obviously a failure of negotiations, so Qin Yue did not agree to him to come out.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei ran to Liu Bei without any winks and smiled excitedly: "Hehe, brother, I'll just say that this kid must have no ability, he's all pretending! You expose him as soon as you enter, and he doesn't even dare to come out of the house now!"
Liu Bei looked up and glared at him fiercely, looking as if he was so angry: "It seems that I will punish you well when I go back, otherwise you won't even understand any politeness! If it weren't for the nonsense you just said, the gentleman would have returned to the camp with us! Humph!" After saying that, he shook his long sleeves and walked towards Zhou Yukun.
"Thank you for your reminder from Brother Zilong, otherwise I would have really missed Mr., a man with great wisdom just now!"
Zhou Yukun chuckled and shook his head: "Brother Liu Bei is so polite. I just don't know what you are talking about. What did Kong Ming say?"
"This..." Liu Bei's expression looked a little weird: "Oh, I don't understand what the sir meant. He said he agreed to come out of the mountain, all depends on your performance, and I will ask me to come here again in a month and a half, and then he will decide whether to follow me!"
Zhou Yukun grew up and said, what tricks Qin Yue was going to do? What does it have to do with me if you are out of the mountain? Why does it depend on my performance? "...So that's it. This guy is so weird. I don't know what he wants to do, so you can only wait until a month later!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yukun suddenly woke up. A month and a half later, wasn’t it the day he and Cao Cao agreed to expire? It seems that Qin Yue is still considering it carefully, but he just doesn’t know what his words meant by looking at my performance?
Hearing Zhou Yukun's words, Liu Bei had no objection and nodded, "Since that's the case, Zilong, please stay with your husband first, so you can also protect your husband's safety." As he said, he grabbed Zhang Fei, who was full of frustration, and shouted loudly at Qin Yue's house: "Sir, Liu Bei is leaving now. According to what Mr. said, Liu Bei will disturb you again in a month and a half!"
A minute passed, but there was no reply in the room. Liu Bei smiled faintly, and didn't mind, so he took his two younger brothers away slowly. (To be continued)
