It was getting late and Huaiyin County had returned to peace.
However, under the calm, there is an undercurrent. I believe that many people will not be able to fall asleep this night.
The brief confrontation between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao under Huaiyin City has been seen in the eyes of many people. Some people are angry, some are happy, and some are relieved.
"Duke Xuande, according to my opinion, the thief is not worth worrying."
Chen Deng picked up a thin piece of sashimi, dipped it in his dipping sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then drank a sip of Baipu wine, a specialty of Guangling, closed his eyes and savored the delicious taste of the fish and old wine, and then exhaled a sip of turbid air, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Chen Deng eats river food better and eats better raw food.
Cut the fish into thin slices and pair it with old wine, which makes it a unique taste.
However, Liu Bei didn't like this very much.
He was originally from Youzhou, he liked to eat meat and did not like river food.
So every time he is with Chen Deng, although he will prepare a delicious wine, he will never enjoy it.
"Yuanlong, why did you say that?"
"This child does not understand the way of being straight and straight, and he is just strong.
It seems that today is outside Huaiyin City. If someone else is going to obey Cao, he would respond strongly. Those who do not know how to advance and retreat and do not know the current affairs have always looked down on him too highly. To put it bluntly, if he had not been the descendant of Liu Tao, how could he have achieved such a success?
This son is brave, and he may be able to charge forward, but he will never be in the form of a leader.
This time he went to Xudu, it was like a tiger falling into the sun and a wolf entering the cage. He never thought of a future in his life. And his troops were even more difficult to achieve great things. Why should Duke Xuande take him to heart?"
Thinking about the meeting between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao during the day, Liu Bei also felt that Chen Deng's words were reasonable.
But in my heart, I always feel unspeakable.
He always felt that Liu Chuang was not as simple as it seemed... Logically speaking, under the current situation, he should have changed his attitude, but he was tough. How could such a person become a prince? Perhaps as Chen Deng said, Liu Chuang was just relying on the reputation left by his father. But in his heart, Liu Bei still felt that Liu Chuang was not as simple as he imagined.
"What, Duke Xuande is still worried?"
Liu Bei took a sip of wine and nodded, "If I don't get rid of this, I will be unable to settle."
Chen Deng laughed, "What's the difficulty to get rid of this?"
However, Duke Xuande must not come forward for this matter. He should use a knife to kill people, otherwise Duke Cao would not be able to save your life. No matter what, Chuang'er was ordered by the emperor. Under the current circumstances, even Duke Cao would not do anything. But those who want to destroy his life under the tent of Duke Cao are like crucian carp in the river. Why should Duke Xuande not come to him? Even if he cannot kill him, he will not implicate Duke Xuande. Isn't this beautiful?"
"Who can do it?"
Chen Deng thought about it, raised his lips and said sternly: "There are many people who want to be apart from this child, but if you say that you are most afraid of this child, you are not Zang Bahoucheng.
These two were the ones who were against the ruler. This time, Cao Gong won a great victory in Xuzhou, all these people turned against him. I heard that Zang Ba ruined Chuang'er's confidant Huang Gongmei's life, and Hou Cheng even caused Lu Bu to be seriously injured and almost lost his life. The two of them must be afraid of Liu Chuang and are more afraid. Xuande Gong could instigate someone secretly, and they would definitely be deceived. Returning to Xudu from Xuzhou is a long journey..."
"You mean..."
Chen Deng smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Having said that to this point, if Liu Bei doesn't understand it anymore, it will be a bad guy.
A strange look suddenly appeared on his face. He pondered for a long time and suddenly smiled slightly, "If so, I would like to wish him Liu Chuang a smooth journey."
As he spoke, he laughed.
Chen Deng nodded slightly, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly...
"Meng Yan, why is he so tough?"
After crossing the Huai River, Liu Chuang and his group continued to move forward, and they were camping until dark.
At this time, it was only ten miles away from Tongguo, but Zhong Yao did not want to stay in Tongguo, so he simply ordered people to camp and rest on the spot.
It was not until this time that Zhong Yao had the opportunity to speak.
He looked at Liu Chuang and said helplessly: "Didn't you angry Mr. Cao for being so tough?"
Liu Chuang said, "If Cao Cao is really like this, how could it be Cao Cao?"
When Zhong Yao heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Speaking of his understanding of Cao Cao, Liu Chuang is definitely not as good as those of Zhong Yao and Xun Yu.
But if you talk about the study of Cao Cao's personality, Liu Chuang also felt that Zhong Yao and others were not as good as him.
Looking at Cao Cao's life, he was suspicious and very self-centered.
If you follow him, you might be suspicious of him, or even think that you have ulterior motives; but sometimes, when you twist with him, he will think that you have a strong character. Liu Chuang knew that this time he would be in danger. Even if Zhong Yao and others protected him, if Cao Cao really had murderous intentions against him, the Yingchuan clan would not really turn against Cao Cao. There was no such thing in the future: There is no eternal friend, only eternal interests?
Whether it is Xun Yu or Zhong Yao, the reason why he defended Liu Chuang was that Liu Tao was related to it, but it was more of a driving force for interests.
If you really put all your hope on Xun Yu and others, that would be the stupidest choice.
Liu Chuang wants to bet!
He wanted to bet on Cao Cao's mentality of loving powerful generals, and he looked at him with a tough attitude.
The more this happens, the more interested Cao Cao will be in him. A person who does not understand the way of hardness and softness will definitely not accomplish great things. Since his birth, Liu Chuang has been praised by many people for his character as a Zhongling Hou. It is not that he has many talents, but that his personality is similar to Liu Tao.
What kind of personality is Liu Tao?
Strong, loyal and upright, rather than bend.
If Liu Chuang followed Cao Cao at this time, it might be even more dangerous.
Anyway, I have always shown myself as a tough person, so I simply use this toughness to be my protective color. I will be curious about this.
As long as Cao Cao is curious, Liu Chuang will be more confident.
But to be honest, Liu Chuang was also uneasy, not knowing what kind of results would be the end of his toughness.
However, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao may be very angry, but he will not have the intention to kill.
But he couldn't tell Zhong Yao these words. Zhong Yao was obviously a supporter of Cao Cao. Although he was very caring about Liu Chuang now, what would he be like if Liu Chuang threatened his interests or the interests of Zhong? It is unknown yet.
Zhong Yao frowned slightly, looked at Liu Chuang, and sighed softly.
"Meng Yan, I guess it's been hard to go along, so I'll have a good rest. We'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning."
"Uncle, let's go directly to Xudu?"
"Um."
"Then when will I go to Yingchuan?" Liu Chuang said in a deep voice: "I want to go back, repair my parents' graves, and rebuild my home, which is also a way to reunite my ancestors. Also, who is my mother? Why no one told me where she was from?"
Zhong Yao's face changed and he looked at Liu Chuang in surprise.
Is this child really stupid or fake stupid? Do you think you can still be as free as you are now after you go to Xudu? I am afraid that every move you make will be restrained. However, Zhong Yao also knew that it was not surprising that Liu Chuang had this idea. Back then, he wanted to go back to Yingchuan to rebuild his home and regain his ancestors. Now that he has the opportunity to return to Yingchuan, he naturally has this idea. If he said this, this child is a filial child. At least he always cared about his parents and his home... If this is true, there seems to be room for recovery, and he might be able to return to Cao Gong. However, it seems that it is indeed difficult to handle this matter...
"Let's discuss this matter after returning to Xudu."
When Zhong Yao said this, he paused and said, "As for your mother's kiss...haha, you will know when you deserve to know."
What's the meaning?
Liu Chuang was a little confused. Could it be that his mother's identity or a taboo?
However, seeing that Zhong Yao didn't seem to want to say it, Liu Chuang didn't ask again.
I believe that Zhong Yao said this must have his reason... But this also made Liu Chuang even more curious about his mother's identity.
It was late at night, and Zhong Yao said goodbye and left.
Xiahou Lan rode outside the tent with fifty flying bears to watch, while Liu Chuang was lying in the tent, unable to sleep.
At this time, I believe Chen Gong and others should have passed Haixi... I guess they will be able to return to Jiaozhou Bay in some time.
But what about yourself?
I don’t know when I can leave when I go to Xudu.
If you are not afraid in your heart, it is definitely a lie... But Liu Chuang could vaguely feel that he might have unexpected gains when he went to Xudu this time.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang suddenly felt much more relaxed.
He turned over and sat up from the couch, rubbed his eyebrows, and then put on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
It was quite cold in the middle of November.
Dozens of bonfires of all sizes were lit in the camp, and the flying bears formed a team, which seemed to be out of place with the entire team.
Xiahou Lan was sitting by the bonfire and talking to someone. When she saw Liu Chuang coming over, she hurriedly came forward.
"Everything is OK?"
"Don't worry, young master, everything is normal."
Xiahou Lan hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "But I feel that Mr. Zhong seems to be a little wary of us. Look at the bonfires everywhere, although the distribution of these bonfires is scattered, but in fact it surrounds us. On the surface it is for protection, but more people are probably still surveillance."
Liu Chuang immediately smiled, "It's normal for him to worry about me."
Zhong Yao also had a lot of responsibility this time.
Liu Chuang was also considered to be his protection. If Liu Chuang ran away midway, Zhong Yao would probably not have good results. He was wary of Liu Chuang and was thinking about it. Liu Chuang was not too surprised, so he only smiled, comforted Xiahou Lan for a few words, and then returned to the military tent.
Zhong Yao, it’s not credible!
It’s not that he will harm Liu Chuang, but that he is not enough to rely on.
If you arrive in Xudu and want to escape from the sky, you still have to rely on yourself.
But how can we leave Xu Du? Liu Chuang and Yi were lying on the couch, thinking about various plans in their minds, and unknowingly, they had a preliminary plan. If you want to escape Xu Du, the key is Yingchuan. Therefore, Yingchuan is imperative to worship ancestors.
Well, choose the right time.
