Chapter 16 Childhood Friendship
After conferring a reward on Mi Yang, Guan Yu turned his attention to Xu Xiang, who had been kneeling on the ground.
Guan Yu's eyes kept showing murderous intent.
Throughout his life, he advocated integrity and admired heroes.
Therefore, he hates people like Xu Xiang the most, and besides, this time Xu Xiang was acting on Sun Quan's orders, intending to seize Jingzhou from him.
Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't bear it even more.
Guan Yu's face turned pale and he shouted loudly,
"Where is the swordsman?"
As soon as Guan Yu's tiger roar came out, the echoes of swordsmen and axemen immediately sounded outside the Chinese army's tent.
"exist!"
After dozens of swordsmen outside the tent responded, they quickly ran in from outside the tent and surrounded the tent.
These dozen swordsmen and axemen are Guan Yu's personal guards. They are all strong men who are as brave as ten in the army.
They often fight on the battlefield, and they seem to have an evil aura around them.
After they broke in, the temperature inside the tent seemed to have dropped a few degrees due to the evil spirits on their bodies.
But the dozen swordsmen and axemen were also discerning. When they saw that only Xu Xiang fell to his knees after entering the tent, they knew who their master wanted them to entertain.
Therefore, after they surrounded the Chinese army's tent, they drew their swords towards Xu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and the evil energy on their bodies was also concentrated on Xu Xiang for an instant.
Xu Xiang had just been kneeling on the ground, and the audience had listened to Mi Yang's plan. At that time, in his heart, he no longer had any hope for Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou.
With Mi Yang's plan, not to mention whether Sun Quan can successfully attack Jingzhou, if the situation continues, whether they can retreat safely is a question.
Because of this, Xu Xiang already felt bleak about his future.
Xu Xiang, who was already feeling chilled, now saw Guan Yu's swordsmen and axemen pointing their sharp weapons at him, and saw Guan Yu glaring at him angrily. He still didn't know that Guan Yu had murderous intentions for him.
His career was hopeless, and Xu Xiang's last act of stubbornness was to save his life.
Before Guan Yu could say the words of killing to the sword and axemen who came in, a sharp look of fear appeared on Xu Xiang's face.
At this time, he completely ignored the decency of a scholar and quickly rolled and crawled all the way to Mi Yang, who was not far away from him. Then he hugged Mi Yang's thigh and cried to Mi Yang with snot and tears.
,
"Xiaolian, no, Mi Zhu is weak, Mi joins the army,
You said you would save my life,
You must never break your promise."
Xu Xiang was crying loudly as he spoke. Not to mention Mi Yang, everyone else in the tent was shocked by Xu Xiang's reaction.
Especially Mi Yang, he was extremely embarrassed to be held by such a grown man.
At this time, he really wanted to kick Xu Xiang to death. He had worked hard to create a tall and resourceful image, but now his image had dropped by three points after being hugged by Xu Xiang.
But the rest of the people in the tent felt extremely contemptuous of Xu Xiang's behavior.
Jiangdong Captain, Sun Quan’s confidant,
That's it?
Most of the people in the tent now are Guan Yu's confidants.
Historically, after Guan Yu was captured, they all followed Guan Yu without fear of death.
Now that they saw Xu Xiang's desperation for survival, they felt disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Mi Yang, who was unable to move in Xu Xiang's arms, felt disgusted with Xu Xiang in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. Xu Xiang had already said that, and he had to say something.
He suppressed the urge to kick people in his heart, and then faced Guan Yu's questioning eyes and said to him,
"Before coming to Fancheng, in order to get the thief to tell Sun Quan's plan together, I promised the thief to save his life in front of the general."
Seeing that Mi Yang did not go back on his promise, Xu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Mi Yang continued, "I think it doesn't matter whether Xu Xiang is killed or not."
"The general still needs Xu Xiang to write a letter to confuse Sun Quan, and after Xu Xiang writes this letter, because of Sun Quan's mean and ungrateful character, Xu Xiang will never be able to return the favor in his lifetime."
"In this case, the general might as well let the dog live to show the general's generosity."
The reason why Mi Yang was willing to protect Xu Xiang was that he kept Xu Xiang, who would be of great use to him in the future.
After Mi Yang finished speaking, Guan Yu's expression gradually softened. He stroked his beard and thought. Finally, he glanced at Mi Yang and said,
"Zisheng, you are still too young and inexperienced.
If you want to get the news from a rat like this, you only need to torture him severely, so why should you agree to save his life?"
"But since Zi Sheng has promised to save his life, I care about my elders and I don't want you to be known as a broken promise."
"That's all, I'm not someone who kills cruelly. I'll keep this thief's life for Zi Sheng's sake today."
Guan Yu has the best impression of Mi Yang now, so Guan Yu will certainly not refuse Mi Yang's request.
And from Guan Yu's point of view, it doesn't matter whether Xu Xiang is killed or not.
And when Guan Yu's not-to-kill Jinkou came out, Xu Xiang, who was wandering back and forth on the edge of life and death, seemed to have been drained of all his strength and collapsed directly on the ground.
Guan Yu didn't want to see Xu Xiang's disgusting behavior, so he ordered the swordsman to take him out of the tent and write a letter.
After ordering people to take Xu Xiang out, Guan Yu saw that Mi Yang had been standing and was worried about her fatigue, so he spoke to her warmly,
"You are now the leader of our army. If you join the army, you also have a place in this tent. You can find a place to sit down and discuss matters."
After hearing this, Mi Yang bowed to Guan Yu first, then looked around the tent, looking for his seat.
In ancient times, there were requirements for who should sit in which seats. The most important thing was not to distinguish between superior and inferior.
Guan Yu asked Mi Yang to choose his own seat, which was also the time to test Mi Yang's emotional intelligence.
After Mi Yang looked around the tent for a week, he saw that there were several empty seats in the tent.
But those seats are all next to Guan Yu's seats, and they are adjacent to Pan Jun, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and other senior ministers of Jingzhou.
Mi Yang knew that those seats did not belong to him for the time being.
Just because the seat is empty doesn't mean he can sit down.
The owners of those seats may have gone on business, so they left the seats empty temporarily.
For example, Baimei Ma Liang is eating hot pot in Shuzhong now.
If Mi Yang rashly takes a seat that does not belong to him, it is easy to offend the original owner of the seat.
And it is easy to give people the impression that he is young and does not understand etiquette. After all, his qualifications are still relatively young.
This is very serious in this era where reputation is important.
Humility is a virtue at all times.
After looking around for a week, Mi Yang saw a seat that suited him very well.
That seat is right next to Guan Ping.
Seeing Guan Ping frantically signaling to him that the seat next to him was available, Mi Yang felt relieved and walked straight towards the empty seat next to Guan Ping.
