But what can I do? Do I still have a choice? I didn't come here for Liu Biao, I should have expected this outcome.
I was entrusted by my benefactor to defeat Liu Zhang, so even if I was scolded by a cowardly old man, I could only bear it silently.
Xu Shu swallowed the bitterness in his heart, his throat rose and fell, and he looked at the angry Liu Biao with an indifferent expression. For one second, two seconds, three seconds, suddenly, Xu Shu bent his knees and knelt down towards Liu Biao.
"Boom!"
With a crisp sound, Xu Shu fell to his knees, and his tall body knelt in front of Liu Biao. This movement slowed down ten times in everyone's eyes. A famous man, arrogant and arrogant, finally prostrated in front of him because of the helplessness in his heart.
Liu Biao was stunned, Cai Mao was stunned again, and Li Yan just came in from the outside and was also stunned when he saw this scene.
The generals and soldiers all looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu buried his head deeply, slowly raised it, raised his hands to Liu Biao, and squeezed out six words from his throat: "Please come to the city to supervise the battle, my lord."
Six words, each word is full of humiliation. Xu Shu's knees only knelt on Sima Hui ten years ago. That time was full of joy, but this time, the world has changed.
Liu Biao didn't know what to say for a moment. As an elegant literati, Liu Biao usually highly respected the Jingxiang celebrities. Every time he saw Sima Hui Pang Degong and others, even the state pastor would bow to him and scold Xu Shu.
In a moment of urgency, Xu Shu never expected that Xu Shu would kneel down in public.
If this matter spread to the ears of other celebrities, Liu Biao was worried that others would mistakenly think that he was treating the nobles lightly, which would be very detrimental to his reputation.
"What are you doing? Do you need to be like this? Get up quickly, get up quickly. What does this sound like?"
Liu Biao was so shocked that Xu Shu knelt down that he lost his mind and could not say anything. He wanted to help Xu Shu, but because of his status as a state shepherd and refusing Xu Shu's request, Liu Biao was unable to move forward or retreat for the sake of his dignity and was in a hurry.
"If the lord does not agree to personally supervise the battle, Xu Shu will not be able to kneel down."
"This this……"
Now the city is about to be destroyed. Liu Biao, who has seen the bravery of the Sichuan army, would not dare to go to the dangerous city. When the Sichuan army attacks the city, Liu Biao will not go to the city unless he is chopped into pieces.
Liu Biao supervised the battle, but seeing Xu Shu kneeling in front of him, he couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, and he was too heartless to refuse. Liu Biao didn't know what to do at all.
At this moment, Ms. Cai walked out of the side room step by step, with a cold face, glanced sideways at Xu Shu who was kneeling on the ground, expressionless, and said slowly to Liu Biao: "My lord, just agree to him, although Xu Shu
Incompetent, but not without merit. He said it would be dangerous to retreat at this time, and I believe there is some truth in it."
"Madam, but..."
"Cai Mao, pass on the order. If anything happens to my lord, the Xu Shu clan will be killed." Cai said calmly.
"Yes." Cai Mao responded loudly.
Xu Shu's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end. Liu Biao paced back and forth, weighing the pros and cons, then turned around and asked Xu Shu, "How long do you think we have to guard?"
"One day." Xu Shu spit out two words. He felt that it was difficult to say a word now.
"One day, one day, one day, one day." Liu Biao thought for a while and finally said: "Okay, just one day, I will go now, and I will retreat no matter what tomorrow."
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he left angrily.
Cai passed by Xu Shu demurely, stopped, looked straight at the beams and pillars in front of her, and said slowly: "Xu Shu, don't use this method of admonition in the future. You are no longer the commoner wanderer you were before. You are now the disciple of a famous teacher.
The despicable etiquette of the common people is not suitable for you."
After Cai left, Cai Hao followed.
Cai Mao's flattering words to his sister were heard from afar. Xu Shu's hand on the ground slowly tightened, and his nails made ten white marks on the ground.
"Thank you, Lord."
A shout came from far away in the lobby and reached the ears of Liu Biao and Cai. The sound echoed between the pillars and beams. It was full of endless grief, anger and unwillingness, but no one heard it.
Xu Shu knelt quietly in the empty hall. He didn't hear the pointing of the soldiers and maids around him, and his expression was numb. Li Yan hurried in from outside and tugged Xu Shu but did not move.
"Don't help me." Xu Shu murmured.
Li Yan increased his strength, and Xu Shu suddenly yelled: "Don't help me!" The voice was so shrill that Li Yan let go of his hand and looked at Xu Shu quietly.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Who are you? How can you kneel here?"
"What status?" Xu Shu smiled sadly and looked up at the roof, "What status? Common people, common people from a poor family, common people from a poor family."
Xu Shu no longer knew how much he had sacrificed for this identity. Ten years ago, he originally thought that he had gotten rid of this identity. Cai's words brought him back to reality. He was still the same concubine as before, and he could only use his humble and humble ways.
Li, come to ask Liu Biao to protect his own inheritance.
Ten years ago, he suffered a lot of humiliation. Ten years later, all the debts he incurred due to changing his identity must be repaid. Zhuge Liang does not need to listen to Zhuge Ci to seek refuge with Liu Biao, and Pang Tong does not need to listen to Pang Degong to seek refuge with Liu Biao, because they are both from aristocratic families.
My dear fellow, Zhuge Liang owes nothing to Zhuge Ci, and Pang Tong owes nothing to Duke Pang De.
There is only him, a concubine. Sima Hui changed himself ten years ago, so today he must listen to him. Liu Biao is weak, hypocritical, has no ambition, and is fierce in appearance. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong feel that calling such a person lord is a great shame and humiliation.
And I have to go to the door in person to talk to him.
With the word "Lord", he has been involved in this life and can no longer rely on others. He will always be tied to Liu Biao. Xu Shu feels like a prostitute imprisoned in a brothel. Now it is time to pick up the customers.
In comparison, what does this kneeling mean?
…………
Xu Shu mobilized all Baichuan troops, family servants and common people who volunteered to fight, and they all rushed to the top of Baichuan City. Liu Biao went to the city in person to supervise the battle. The morale of the Jingzhou soldiers was high. The Sichuan army fought bloody battles day and night, and finally returned in defeat.
But Baichuan City was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. After a bloody day of fighting, Liu Biao wanted to retreat several times when he saw the Sichuan soldiers who were not afraid of death, but Xu Shu tried his best to persuade him.
Until the last handful of old bones, the whole body was sore and weak, and I couldn't leave even if I wanted to.
But on the fifth day, Xu Shu no longer had any hope.
Xu Shu looked at the dark night sky, without any starlight, just like his current state of mind.
Li Yan walked up silently and stood next to Xu Shu. The Sichuan army was repulsed again, but Li Yan's thoughts still stayed in the lobby during the day. That scene was engraved in his bones.
"Sir, do you still want to persist?"
Li Yan asked quietly, and even he himself did not know the meaning of this sentence, whether he wanted to hold on to Baichuan, or whether Xu Shu would hold on under Liu Biao's tent.
