Chapter 35 Tit for Tat

...

Upon hearing Lu Bu's order, two soldiers holding halberds walked in immediately outside the door, intending to escort Lin Zhe out.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wu quickly clenched his fist and stood in front of Lin Zhe. His fierce eyes also stopped the two soldiers' progress.

At this time, tensions were high on the court, and there was a strong tendency to start a fight if there was a disagreement.

Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others watched this scene with cold eyes, silent and unmoved at all.

However, Lu Lingqi, who was sitting aside, panicked. She had told her father so much before that she was worried that his father would kill the thief in anger. Why would he do this now?

No, he must not let his father kill him!

Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi stood up, took a step forward, and shouted at Lin Zhe: "Little...Lin Zhe, why don't you apologize to my father quickly!"

"My father has always been magnanimous. If you are willing to ask for mercy from him, he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as a little person like you!"

Lu Lingqi looked quite nervous, and her words revealed a hint of urgency.

Little thief, please speak quickly. Stop showing off at this time. If you don't beg for mercy, your father will really kill you.

However, after listening to Lu Lingqi's words, Lin Zhe not only did not speak, but there was a trace of weirdness on his face, and then he turned his eyes to Lu Bu who was sitting above him.

What kind of thing is this?

Obviously, even Lu Bu didn't expect his daughter to do this.

He first looked at his daughter who was standing aside with a worried look on his face, and then turned his attention to Lin Zhe, who looked strange. He seemed to understand something, and Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.

The atmosphere that she had finally created was inadvertently resolved by Xiao Nizi.

It’s really...women are not allowed to stay in college!

Lu Bu knew in his heart that with his daughter's interruption, he would not be able to establish his authority.

In addition, Lin Zhe doesn't seem to be a scared person.

In that case... let's forget it!

After waving to the soldiers behind Lin Zhe, the two of them retreated, closing the hall door behind them before leaving.

As soon as the door of the hall was closed, the light in the hall dimmed a bit. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Lin Zhe felt that Lu Bu felt a little more oppressive than before.

"Aren't you... afraid of death?!"

"Afraid!" Lin Zhe answered quite simply, "But... I'm not afraid now!"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Lu Bu suddenly became interested.

"If you're not afraid, you're just not afraid!"

Lin Zhe raised his head, looked at each other with Lu Bu, there was no fear in his eyes, and said: "Zhe knows that Marquis Wen has no intention of killing me. If not, I am afraid that someone's head would have been hanging there before he entered the city."

It’s above the top of Pi City!”

"I came here not only to exchange hostages with Marquis Wen, but also to discuss future plans with Marquis Wen!"

"Presumably...Marquis Wen must have thought so too!"

"So, Marquis Wen will definitely not kill me!"

"That being the case, why should I be afraid?"

"hehe..."

...

...

Seeing the two of them talking to each other, Lu Lingqi was already a little confused. What is going on?!

Why is everything suddenly okay again?

Although she didn't understand the conversation between her father and Lin Zhe, she still understood one thing from Lin Zhe's words - her father did not have the intention to kill this little thief!

Then... wasn't it unnecessary for me just now?!

wrong!

Father, they can’t see what I’m thinking!

Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi blushed instantly. She held the corners of her clothes with both hands. She didn't know where to put them for a moment. Even her little feet under the skirt couldn't help but draw circles on the ground.

She raised her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was looking at her, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but quietly moved her steps, took a few steps back, and silently sat back in her seat.

She decided, and from now on, she was not going to say a word.

This little thief is so smart that he doesn't seem to need her help at all...

...

...

Seeing Lin Zhe's confident look, Lu Bu did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he spoke about the plan he mentioned: "Gongtai is rich in strategy and has its own world in mind. Someone has such a great talent, why do you need to do it?"

Do I plan?"

"Do you think the public plan is no match for a weak young man like you?!"

"My lord is so complimentary..."

Seeing Lu Bu mentioning him, Chen Gong couldn't help but stand up and clasped his fists in a salute.

Hearing this voice, Lin Zhe turned his attention to the scribe sitting beside him.

Chen Gong has a thin face, a goatee on his lower chin, wears a scribe's gown, and has a scarf on his head. Although he looks quite elegant, there is a hint of sophistication in his movements.

Is this the person who broke his plan?

Lin Zhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had always thought that relying on his foresight and the stability of his two generations, he would be not only ahead of most counselors, but at least comparable to those first-rate counselors.

However, facing Chen Gong, a second-rate top strategist, he failed to win. When facing those top strategists in the future, he must be more cautious and make decisions before taking action!

For now, let's solve the current problem first...

Lin Zhe also understood what Lu Bu meant.

Negotiation is nothing more than that.

No matter whether we want to talk or not, or how we talk, since it is a negotiation, we must take the initiative.

The reason why Lu Bu attacked Chen Gong was actually to declare a fact to Lin Zhe - I already have Chen Gong, do I still need you to make suggestions for me?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhe clasped his fists and said: "Zhe is still young, so naturally he is not as well-informed as Mr. Chen. If we judge success or failure based on age, I would be the loser..."

"But... a certain person came to negotiate on behalf of the lord. He is thinking not only for the lord, but also for Marquis Wen. What does it say about his personal success or failure?!"

These words were extremely harsh. Although Lin Zhe didn't say a single curse word in his mouth, he described Chen Gong as a villain who only used his age to show off his talent and had no regard for the overall situation.

Chen Gong was not a fool, so he naturally understood the edge in Lin Zhe's words.

So before Lu Bu could speak, his eyes were as bright as fire and he said first, "Shijun Liu is still in Huaiyin right now. Xian Yun said it was for him, and the palace is understandable, but saying it was for Marquis Wen... is really a bit far-fetched!"

"

Seeing Chen Gong mention Liu Bei, Lin Zhe couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

That’s what I’ve seen...

The translation of Chen Gong's words is very simple. Liu Bei is in Huaiyin now, and his lord can send troops to attack at any time. I know that this is why you, Lin Zhe, are here. I already know what you are thinking!

Now that the initiative is in our hands, what are you going to do to convince us not to take action?!

Feeling Chen Gong's faint threat, Lin Zhe couldn't help but take a breath of air. After thinking for a while, Lin Zhe ignored Chen Gong's words, but clasped his fists towards Lu Bu and said, "That's it, Zhe doesn't want to."

Keep hiding it..."

"Zhe has something to ask Marquis Wen!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling Lin Zhe to continue.

"I dare to ask Wen Hou... do you want to dominate the world, or do you want to live in a corner?"

Chen Gong actually asked this question back then, and now Lin Zhe asked it again. Different people asked the same thing, and Lu Bu's curiosity was aroused.

"Oh?! What do you mean by this?!"

Lin Zhe Shiran bowed to Lu Bu and said: "If Marquis Wen plans to relinquish military power, take care of himself, live in a corner with his family, and become an old man who only knows how to cultivate the land, then Zhe has nothing to say. I will immediately

Turn around and walk away without saying a word!"

"But...if Marquis Wen still has the ambition to strive for hegemony..."

"Then we must watch and help each other with the lord. We will both be prosperous and devastated!"

"If not, being a peasant man is probably the best ending. If it accidentally falls into the hands of other princes..."

"Death!"

After saying this, Lin Zhe also remained silent. He believed that Lu Bu could understand his subtext.

Then, Lin Zhe quietly raised his eyes and looked at Chen Gong who was standing aside, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

hehe...

Dare to threaten me?

Then I will threaten your lord!
