"Yan Xiang, I'll leave this matter to you and let me figure out what's going on."
Yuan Shu's deep voice sounded.
"My lord is wise."
Yan Xiang kowtowed and stood up and said.
.........
"Oh, what a pity. Such a good forest farm can leave at any time. Why don't we guard it?"
"Just wait for him to hit you. Let him go first. He won't be able to escape anyway. If Yuan Shu's men dare to go over, they will be beaten down soon."
"Aren't you afraid that the dog will jump over the wall and burn those pieces of spiritual wood?"
"Hmph, do you really think they have the courage to jump over the wall?
Now that's our forest farm, it has our names on it, if you dare to burn it, hey, we'll beat you up."
"Hey, boss, Liu Bei and the others won't take action. We only have three legions here. They have many people, so they are a little cautious."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, we are not afraid even if there is a fight.
If the superiors dare to issue such an order, then they must have made all plans. Are you really treating Xu Shu? Are you just bragging about Huang Zhong?
Everything must have been arranged, we just have to follow orders."
.........
"How is Mr. Xuande thinking?"
Xu Shu asked with a smile, but at this time, the leader of the camp, who had long arms, long ears, and looked honest and honest, was actually Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the lord of Zhongshan after Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
"I don't understand what you mean. You are just provoking trouble."
Liu Bei said with an unkind expression.
"No, no, no, I think Mr. Xuande has misunderstood. We just want to seek justice.
Yuan Shu betrayed his trust and plotted to destroy the territory of the princes Sun Jun when they were jointly fighting against Dong. How can we just sit idly by and ignore such unfaithful and unjust acts?"
"Is this really happening?"
"Of course it's true. Mr. Xuande will understand it after a little research.
That fellow Yuan Shu has gone too far in bullying others, my lord is just seeking justice for the princes and Sun Jun."
"If this is true, then as the leader of the alliance, I cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
I have to take care of this matter, come on, but is there something hidden in it?
Mr. Xu, why not do this, I will invite Yuan Shu, and you will also invite your lord and Sun Jun, and we can have a chat without resorting to violence and damaging the harmony."
"But Mr. Xuande, Yuan Shu secretly occupied our forest farm and mineral veins. This has caused serious dissatisfaction to my lord."
When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Xu Shu with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, we are all smart people. There is no need to say more about these unrealistic words. You said you discovered it first. What evidence is there?"
Xu Shu laughed when he heard this.
"There is still evidence. We have left marks on these forest farms and mines, proving that they are owned by Ning'an.
Of course, maybe Xuande Gong said that these things cannot be counted.
But do we still have the sampling registration form?
We have collected specimens of every kind of spiritual tree in every place for mining and felling, but they have been occupied for no reason.
I think if Mr. Xuande encountered such a thing, he wouldn’t tolerate it, right?”
"Report!"
Suddenly, a man trotted in and said something in Liu Bei's ear, which immediately changed his face.
"What, you've already taken action?!"
Liu Bei stood up suddenly and looked at Xu Shu, while closing his eyes, Zhang Fei also stood up suddenly, staring at Xu Shu with his big copper bell eyes.
"Brother, I think this scholar is just fooling us, I'll just chop him down with a knife!"
A whole body of prestige rested on Xu Shu, but Xu Shu put his hands behind his back, the corners of his clothes fluttering slightly, like a breeze blowing on his face, but his expression did not change.
"Mr. Xu, what exactly do you mean? Can I understand that you are insulting me?"
Liu Bei frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
"Mr. Xuande has already said that we respect Mr. Xuande, otherwise we would not send you here specially."
"Then you already took action last night and just came today. This is not an insult to me.
I think you are not here to talk, but to intimidate me?"
The murderous intent in Liu Bei's eyes made Xu Shu slightly stunned.
But I didn't expect that the good old Liu Bei, who always had a smile on his face, had such prestige.
Seeing this, the smile on Xu Shu's face also faded.
"Sun Jun asked the lord to take action at the cost of his territory."
"What!"
Liu Bei was really shocked now and stood up suddenly.
"My lord promised that all immovable resources in Sun Jun's territory, except for luck, such as medicine fields, territory, and mines, will be donated to Duke Xuande.
He also promised that he would not touch any of the forest farms and mines currently occupied by Xuande Gong in the Qinling Mountains.
And without taking action against General Guan Yu, we can even escort him back."
"What! Did you capture the second brother?"
Liu Bei was immediately shocked and looked at Xu Shu with wide eyes.
But his reaction made Xu Shu slightly surprised.
This Liu Bei didn't pay attention to the previous things at all, but paid attention to Guan Yu first?
"Of course not. We admire General Guan for a long time. Although we have encountered him, we have not embarrassed him.
On the contrary, we have brought a lot of convenience to General Guan."
Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Second brother hasn't come back yet, they must have done it.
Brother, capture him, we will capture him and replace him with the second brother!"
Zhang Fei on the side roared like a madman, but Xu Shu remained unmoved at all.
"Mr. Xuande, how do you think about our conditions? As long as Mr. Xuande doesn't take action, the territories of the princes and Sun Jun, the mines, forest farms, and medicinal fields will all be yours.
This is a prepared contract, and the lord has signed it."
Xu Shu took out a contract and handed it forward directly.
One person took the contract and presented it to Liu Bei with both hands holding it.
Liu Bei did not move, but looked at Xu Shu and said slowly.
"As long as I don't do anything?"
"Yes, as long as Duke Xuande doesn't take action, doesn't make a sound, and doesn't dare to take revenge on the princes and Sun Jun, then these will be yours."
"What about the time limit? I know this is a system-binding contract, but what about the time limit?"
"The binding force on Xuande Gong will end in seven days, and the binding force on us will continue until the entire contract is handed over."
"Okay, I'll sign, but I have to see my second brother today."
"I think Mr. Xuande misunderstood something. From the beginning to the end, we did not arrest and imprison the general who passed the border."
Xu Shu said with a smile.
"I don't want my second brother to lose even one hair."
Seeing that Liu Bei didn't believe it, Xu Shu smiled helplessly and said nothing more.
Liu Bei said sinisterly. After reading the contract, he saw that everything was as he said, so he signed his name.
"Mr. Xuande, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Xu Shu smiled and put away the copy of the contract.
"General Guan will definitely come back soon. Why don't you go out with me, Mr. Xuande? Maybe you will meet General Guan when he comes back?"
Liu Bei took a deep look at Xu Shu, waved his robe and stood up.
"In that case, I will give Mr. Xu a ride to avoid spreading the news that I, Liu Bei, do not know etiquette!"
