Chapter 703 The King's Ask

Ouyang Linlin stood up straight, snorted coldly and said, "I finally remembered us." Then she pulled Xiaohong up and followed the soldiers out.
Then, several people met at the door of the cell.
The guards took Ji Yu and others to the bedroom of Chachatu. Chachatu was particularly enthusiastic to receive them and apologized to them.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry for you. "Chathatu's face was filled with smiles, but a trace of undetectable gloom flashed in his eyes.
Xi Yu bowed slightly, "Your Majesty is so serious, it's just a little misunderstanding." He knew in his heart that this so-called enthusiasm and apology were just a gesture of doing things.
Chachatu personally arranged seats for them and ordered the palace maids to serve delicious wine and delicacies. "Come on, this is all for you, and I hope it can make up for the previous unhappiness."
Everyone thanked each other, but in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Xi Yu kept observing Chachatu's every move, and he knew the king's insidiousness.
While chatting and laughing with them, Cha Chatu was thinking in his mind how to completely solve these troubles that made him headache.
While chatting and laughing with Xi Yu and others, Cha Chatu was secretly thinking about how to draw more useful information from Xi Yu's mouth.
After drinking for three rounds, Chachatu suddenly remembered the secret guards who made him both curious and afraid.
A hint of anxiety flashed in Chachatu's eyes and asked, "Master of the Han Dynasty, I heard that you have those secret guards who are as elusive as ghosts. I am really curious, how do they do things? Can I have such power as well?"
Chachatu thought to himself: "If I can control such power, my throne will definitely be more stable."
Xi Yu's heart tightened and instantly understood Chachatu's intention. He smiled slightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this secret guard is not something you can do casually. They have achieved their current abilities after years of professional training and countless hard tests."
Xi Yu sneered in his heart: "This is ambition to check the pictures, and he actually had the idea of ​​a secret guard."
Chachatu frowned and said unwillingly: "Is there no way for me to have such power as well?"
Xi Yu took a sip of wine and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, this is really not suitable for everyone. Training secret guards not only requires unique methods and resources, but also requires absolute control of them. If you are not careful, you may backfire yourself."
Xi Yu was already prepared in his heart: "Hmph, it's not that easy to get the secret guard's secret from me."
Cha Chatu's face became gloomy and he was angry: "This Ji Yu is so ignorant, it seems that he has to think of other ways to pry out the secret from his mouth."
But on the surface, Chachatu still pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm just curious to ask."
However, this seemingly ordinary conversation laid deeper suspicion and calculations in the hearts of the two.
After a moment of silence, Chachatu asked Xi Yu again: "What's the matter with you here this time?"
Xi Yu said frankly: "Your Majesty, this time I came here to worship Buddha. I once dreamed of the guidance of God and Buddha, and asked me to come here to seek peace of my heart."
A trace of suspicion flashed in Chachatu's eyes, and he said "Oh", obviously not very convinced.
Xi Yu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please don't think too much. I am not here to destroy the affairs of the Kushan Kingdom."
Cha Chatu thought to himself: "This reason sounds so absurd, there must be a hidden feeling." But he said, "Since that's the case, that's fine."
The atmosphere inside the house became more and more serious, and both sides had their own thoughts, and an invisible contest was quietly unfolding.
Immediately afterwards, Chachatu looked anxious, leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands tightly, and said, "Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, I will ask you again. Can the Central Plains send troops to support me in the attack of the Sassanid Dynasty? As long as things are done, I am willing to devote myself to several cities in the Central Plains."
Xi Yu was shocked, but his face was silent. He shook his head decisively and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. I came here only for my personal matter. I will not get involved in the disputes here."
Chachatu frowned, his face turned gloomy in an instant, and his eyes revealed disappointment and anger, and he said loudly: "Did Zhongyuan not be moved by such generous conditions?"
Xi Yu looked calm and looked at Chachatu with a firm look, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Central Plains have always regarded harmony as the most important thing and do not like wars. Besides, this matter is very involved, and it is not my decision."
Chachatu snorted coldly, leaned on the back of the chair, his face looked very ugly, and he cursed in his heart: "This movie is really a waste of money!"
After a while, Xi Yu looked serious and looked firmly at the picture, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am forgiving me, it is not a wise move to force others to join the army. Governing the country should be based on mercy, so that it can win the hearts of the people and ensure long-term stability."
After hearing this, Chachatu forced a smile on his face, and nodded slightly and responded: "Well, you're right." However, his heart was full of disdain.
Chachatu secretly complained: "I really don't know how difficult it is for me to say something about women here. I'm afraid I'm standing and talking without hurting my back. During the war, I can't care about so much kindness!" Although he agreed, his eyes revealed an indifferent expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently, showing his disgust.
Xi Yu was so keen that he naturally saw Chachatu's perfunctory behavior, but he continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, kindness is not weakness, but a kind of wisdom. Only by governing the country with kindness and the people naturally support it, can the country prosper."
Chachatu snorted coldly in his heart, frowned slightly, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and said, "Okay, OK, I know."
The meal was finished quickly. Xi Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the hospitality. It's not too late, so I'll say goodbye."
When Chachatu heard this, he quickly said, "Don't leave so anxiously. It's too late. It's better to stay in the palace so that I can do my best to be a landlord." His face was filled with false enthusiasm, but his eyes were constantly flashing, and he thought to himself: "Hmph, I know too much about this movie, and keeping it is always a disaster."
Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, and said firmly: "Your Majesty has been grateful for your kindness. There is no need. We still have to worship Buddha, and I hope Your Majesty will agree."
Cha Chatu was secretly angry, his brows frowned unconsciously, and his hands were clenched tightly under the table, but when he thought of Xi Yu's mysterious secret guard, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and finally said helplessly: "Since that's the case, I won't force myself to stay. I wish you a smooth journey."
Xi Yu bowed again and turned around and left with a few people. Chachatu looked at their backs as they were leaving, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said to himself: "You are lucky, Xi Yu, I won't be so lucky next time."
In the dark and humid prison in Fangjun, Guan Yu is still imprisoned here.
"Bang!" The jailer threw the simple food into the cell and said coldly: "It's time to eat!"
Guan Yu's eyes widened, and his originally heroic face seemed a little distorted by his anger. He shouted loudly: "I, Guan Yu, are upright and honest. I have been wronged. Why do you treat me like this?" As he said that, he kicked the food in the corner.
"Hmph!" Guan Yu gasped, his chest fluttering violently, "I am loyal, but I am injustice. What is the law of heaven?" His eyes were filled with anger, and his heart was full of resentment and resentment.
Seeing this, the prison guard was so scared that he took a few steps back and muttered: "You prisoner, are still so arrogant!" But looking at Guan Yu's majestic aura, he didn't dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.
Guan Yu held the fence of the prison cell tightly with both hands, and his joints turned white due to force. "I must seek justice and let the truth be revealed to the world!" He swore secretly, his eyes full of determination and determination.
The other soldiers had been sent away by Liu Bei, and these soldiers returned to Youzhou that day. Now that the Prime Minister is not here, the deputy general in charge of this matter is full of confusion.
The deputy general paced back and forth in the camp, frowned, and said to himself: "Governor Guan was wronged and imprisoned in prison. This matter is very important, but the Prime Minister is not here now. Who should I tell this matter?" He stopped at times, revealing hesitation and uneasiness in his eyes.
After some careful consideration, the deputy general finally made up his mind: "Let me tell Mr. Zhuge Liang that he is resourceful and will definitely come up with a solution." Thinking of this, the deputy general no longer hesitated and hurried out, preparing to find Zhuge Liang.
Deputy General Zhao Hai came to Zhuge Liang's residence and saw Zhuge Liang leisurely fanning his fan, his expression calm and calm.
Seeing Zhao Hai coming in a hurry, Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Hai didn't care about salute and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhuge, something happened!"
Zhuge Liang put down his fan, looked up straight, and asked, "Deputy General Zhao, why are you so panicked?"
Zhao Hai gasped and said quickly: "Sir, Guan despised the prison in Fangjun who was wrongly accused of being imprisoned. The Prime Minister didn't know about this. I really didn't know what to do, so I could only come and tell Mr.."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face instantly became solemn and his eyes were deep. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What is the specific situation?"
Zhao Hai quickly explained the whole story to Zhuge Liang in detail.
Zhuge Liang was stunned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he laughed. Zhao Hai was a little anxious. It was now, why did Mr. Zhuge laugh?
Zhuge Liang realized that he was a little out of control, coughed lightly and said, "Do not worry, Deputy General Zhao, I laughed because Guan Yu, who has always been serious, was actually in such a situation, and I felt a little surprised for a moment."
Zhao Hai was anxious and said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge, Guan Yu was clearly wronged!" His face turned red and blue veins swelled up on his forehead.
Zhuge Liang looked serious and his eyes were wise. He said, "Deputy General Zhao, I naturally understand Guan Yu's character. I just sighed for a moment. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time."
Zhao Hai asked anxiously: "Sir, how should we save Guan Yu?"
Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and said slowly: "This matter should not be too hasty. You must first find out the truth and find key evidence to restore Guan Yu's innocence."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "But time is tight, if..."
Zhuge Liang interrupted him and said, "Don't panic, let's send someone to investigate secretly first, and then make plans."
Zhao Hai looked at Zhuge Liang's confident look, calmed down a little, and said, "It depends on the arrangements of the sir."
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Hai who was anxious and said, "Deputy General Zhao, don't worry, I will take this matter to heart and make a long-term plan. Go back first and wait for my news."
Zhuge Liang looked calm and his eyes were firm, trying to calm Zhao Hai's emotions.
Zhao Hai widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and thought to himself: "Will he really give his all his strength so lightly? Or just perfunctory to me?"
Zhao Hai's face became increasingly ugly, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Zhuge, General Guan Yu is now imprisoned and the situation is critical. How can you be so calm? I think you don't take this matter seriously at all!" As he said that, Zhao Hai's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Deputy General Zhao, don't be impulsive, I have my own sense of responsibility."
Zhao Hai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, and said angrily: "Hmph! Since sir is so perfunctory, I have nothing to say!" After that, he turned around and strode away.
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Hai's departure back and sighed softly, thinking in his heart: "This Zhao Hai is also loyal, but he still needs to calmly plan at this moment to rescue Guan Yu."
After a while, a servant came to Zhuge Liang gently and asked carefully: "Sir, why are you laughing just now? I'm really puzzled." The servant's face was full of confusion and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhuge Liang held a feather fan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Think about it, why did Liu Bei lock up Guan Yu? This is clearly a strategy." Zhuge Liang had a mysterious smile on his face, and his eyes were deep and distant.
The servant scratched his head and said blankly, "I really can't figure it out." He frowned and thought hard.
Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, but just shook the feather fan gently.
After a while, the servant's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Sir, I understand! Is it for..."
Zhuge Liang interrupted him with a smile: "Let me tell me and listen."
The servant swallowed and said, "Is it to keep Guan Yu in Fangjun and then..."
Zhuge Liang nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes and said, "Yes, it's considered a bit of insight when you can think of this."
The servant received praise from Zhuge Liang, and his face showed joy and his heart was full of pride.
Zhuge Liang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were filled with wisdom, and he slowly analyzed: "Look, in order to keep Guan Yu, Liu Bei did not hesitate to ruin his reputation. The two palace maids must have been deliberately arranged by Liu Bei. Such good intentions are really amazing." Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
Zhuge Liang sighed softly and said, "This is also a helpless move. When the time is right, report this matter to the Prime Minister. I believe the Prime Minister can't say anything."
A complicated look flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.
The servant nodded in a vague way and said, "I understand, it's just this method..."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't say too much, you and I know the pros and cons of it." After that, Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought and frowned slightly.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and thought to himself: "I didn't tell Zhao Hai what he thought just now. That guy was impatient. If he knew, he would definitely spread the matter. But now the situation is not clear and it is not easy to make a statement. I can only wait for the Prime Minister to come back before talking."
His brows frowned slightly, and his expression looked a little solemn.
At this time, the servant asked carefully, "Sir, have you been hiding this matter from Deputy General Zhao?"
Zhuge Liang stopped, looked at the servant, and said firmly: "Let's hide it for now, and don't let go of the slightest sound of the wind. If you go out at this time, you may cause trouble."
The servant nodded and replied: "I understand, but Deputy General Zhao..."
Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and said, "Zhao Hai is loyal and commendable, but he acts impulsively. If you know the inside story of this matter, you will inevitably be impulsive and misleading the matter. When the Prime Minister returns, he will make a long-term plan and deal with it properly."
After saying that, Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought again, and the shaking of the feather fan in his hand slowed down, and he was worried about the possible subsequent situations.
In Liu Bei's palace in Fangjun, Liu Bei stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
His back looked a little lonely, his brows frowned, and his face was filled with pain.
Liu Bei thought silently in his heart: "I feel deeply painful. Yun Chang, Yun Chang, I am really sorry for you. But in order to keep you and for great cause, I have to come up with this worst. Just the hardships in this way, how can I tell you?"
He sighed and looked into the distance, his eyes filled with helplessness and entanglement.
The breeze outside the window gently blew by, but it could not dissipate the haze in Liu Bei's heart.
He bit his lip tightly, and the guilt in his heart was pressing like a huge rock, but he understood that the choice at this moment was related to the overall situation in the future. Even if he couldn't bear it, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Liu Bei stood in front of the window for a long time, and his heart became heavier: "I believe that Yun Changding blamed me in my heart, and I also want to visit him, but I really don't have the courage to face his angry and disappointed gaze."
His face was full of pain and struggle, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.
"But this matter cannot be delayed anymore. Tomorrow, I will send someone to Youzhou to explain Guan Yu's 'crime' clearly. Even though the Prime Minister is not here, I will stabilize the situation." Liu Bei made up his mind secretly, and his eyes gradually became firm.
At this time, it seemed that someone said to him: "Liu Bei, can Guan Yu understand your hard work if you do this?"
Liu Bei sighed: "I don't know, I hope Yun Chang can understand my helplessness. All this is for great cause." There was a hint of confusion and expectation in his eyes.
As the night became deeper, Liu Bei was sleepless and paced back and forth in the room. "The clouds are long, the clouds are long, you and my brothers have been together for many years. This time, I have to treat you like this." Liu Bei murmured to himself, his face full of guilt.
