"Yes, master!" Seeing his master's gloomy face, the butler quickly lowered his head and responded, then quickly left Cao Cao's room.

Cao Cao looked at the gift, opened it gently, looked at the contents inside, his face became more gloomy, and murmured, "Gold, silver and jewelry, for a Bai Zifu, this Dong Cheng really made a move!"

"This long sword is named Zhenhan, and it has a deep meaning. It's over, it's over!"

"This is..." At this moment, when Cao Cao opened Liu Bei's gift to Bai Ren, he was a little stunned. He quickly opened other gifts, but found that the gift was very ordinary, and it turned out to be straw sandals.

Cao Cao looked at this thing, his complexion became even weirder, and there was some doubt in his eyes. What is this Liu Xuande doing?

"Straw sandals, straw sandals, Cao Xie!" Cao Cao slowly picked up the straw sandals in his hands, muttering to himself, suddenly his complexion changed drastically, and he put the straw sandals back in his hands.

"Liu Bei!" Cao Cao's face darkened, this Liu Bei is indeed a character, more terrifying than Qi Fuwan and Dong Cheng.

"Come here, prepare a roasted beef leg and send it to Liu Yuzhou, just say it was from Cao Cao!" Cao Cao ordered to his servants with a gloomy expression.

Chapter 365 Protecting Liu Bei

"Liu Yuzhou, this is specially sent by Sikong!" In Liu Bei's mansion, an envoy was accompanied by two guards. legs, the envoy looked at Liu Bei's gloomy expression, and said to Liu Bei in a calm tone.

"Yide, take it!" Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and said to Zhang Fei beside him, now that he is dependent on others, such a life is not easy!

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei stepped forward to take the plate from the hands of the two guards, then gave the envoy a hard look, and then silently brought over the plate with the roasted beef leg in his hand.

"This envoy, thank Sikong for your kindness!" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei beside him holding the roasted beef leg on a plate, with a strange smile on his face, and then calmly turned to the envoy who was staring at him Said.

The envoy looked at Liu Bei's appearance, laughed out loud, then looked at the guards behind him, and then said calmly to Liu Bei, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first!"

Looking at the figure of the envoy leaving, Liu Bei revealed a trace of killing intent in his eyes, and then silently clenched the fist beside him.

"My lord, this Cao Mengde is really deceiving people! Let's throw away this roasted beef leg!" Zhang Fei who was at the side was even more angry than Liu Bei at this time, and said to Liu Bei with a flushed face.

"Shut up, Yide!" Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Liu Bei on the side quickly said to Zhang Fei with a nervous expression, then walked cautiously to the door, seeing that there was no one else outside, and quickly closed it The door came to Zhang Fei's side.

Guan Yu beside Zhang Fei was silent all the time, touching his long beard on his chest, and staring at the plate of roasted beef leg with some serious eyes.

"Yide, be careful next time when you speak. This is Xuchang, which is Cao Cao's territory. Beware that the walls have ears!" Liu Bei quickly walked back to Zhang Fei, saw Zhang Fei's angry look, and said in a serious tone.

After Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei's words, he immediately withered, and stood there blankly holding the plate in his hand, without speaking.

"My lord, I can't throw away this cow leg. If Cao Mengde finds out, I'm afraid I'll be more suspicious of my lord, and I'm afraid life will be difficult at that time!" Guan Yu put down his hand touching his long beard at this time, and then Looking at Liu Bei with a flushed face, he hesitated for a moment, and said seriously to Liu Bei.

"This beef leg, it seems that I can't eat it!" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu with some helplessness, and finally slowly picked up the roasted beef leg from the plate Zhang Fei was holding and started to eat it.

Liu Bei gnawed on the hard roasted beef leg with some difficulty, but his heart was extremely angry and painful. If I can dominate the world in the future, I will be ashamed today!

In Sikong's mansion, Cao Cao frowned when he saw the envoy who came back to report the letter. Liu Bei didn't expect that he would take the things he sent over.

"Zhongde said that Liu Bei has the appearance of a hero, and advised me to kill Liu Bei. But Feng Xiao asked me to keep Liu Bei, and then let Liu Bei deal with Lu Bu. Now Liu Bei has to be on guard. What should I do? Kill! Or Isn't it killing?" Cao Cao's complexion suddenly darkened when he heard the envoy's words, and he hesitated in his heart.

"Come on, call me Bai Zifu!" Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the guard beside him and said in a serious tone.

After hearing Cao Cao's order, the guard immediately went to General Anxi's mansion to invite Bai Ren.

"I pay homage to Sikong!" Bai Ren came to the hall of Sikong's mansion with a dignified expression, looked at Cao Cao who was sitting on the seat, frowning, thinking about something, and saluted Cao Cao cautiously and respectfully. .

When Cao Cao heard the voice, he raised his head, saw that Bai Ren was coming, and quickly showed a smile, then asked Bai Ren plainly: "Zifu, I heard that you and Liu Bei are old, you said Liu Bei How is this person?"

"This..." Bai Ren never expected that Cao Cao would ask him about Liu Bei. Bai Ren hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao calmly, "Liu Bei is a benevolent gentleman, but it cannot be denied. , he is also a man with an ambition."

Looking at Cao Cao's eyes, Bai Ren felt that Cao Cao had already figured out Liu Bei almost thoroughly, and he didn't hide anything from Cao Cao.

"Then you say Liu Bei should be killed! Or should he not be killed?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's serious face, stroked his beard, and asked Bai Ren in a serious and chilly tone.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Bai Ren began to think secretly. From the perspective of Cao Cao's courtiers, Bai Ren would persuade Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei, so that Cao Cao would have one less confidant on the road to hegemony in the future, but from a personal point of view In fact, Bai Ren didn't want Liu Bei to die, but even hoped that Liu Bei could establish a force that could resist Cao Cao as soon as possible. Life is still a problem, let alone prosperity and wealth.

"Liu Bei should die!" After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ren spat out such a sentence.

"Huh?" Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren with a strange expression after hearing Bai Ren's words, and then stroked his beard in surprise.

"But my lord, don't kill Liu Bei now!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao's gaze, his face became serious, then raised his head, and said seriously to Cao Cao.

"Oh, why did Zifu say that!" Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's appearance, and asked Bai Ren with some doubts in his tone.

"Now the lord is surrounded by enemies, the lord is in urgent need of talents, and Liu Bei is well-known now. If the lord kills him now, I'm afraid the people in the world will think that the lord..." Bai Ren said in a calm tone, while talking Carefully watching Cao Cao's expression on the opposite side, for fear that if he made a mistake, Cao Cao would be angered.

"Then when should I kill Liu Bei?" Cao Cao listened to Bai Ren's words, thought for a while, then nodded, and finally asked Bai Ren in a doubtful tone.

"Yuan Shao will definitely be the lord's great enemy in the future. When the lord defeats Yuan Shao, the overall situation of the world is almost settled. It will not be a matter of the lord's words to kill Liu Bei!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao, his tone a little bit He said calmly, thinking to himself, Liu Bei, I will help you get here, anyway, you have to run away, otherwise I am sorry for your title of Liu Paopao!

"You're right! But Liu Bei needs to be more careful!" Cao Cao nodded in agreement after listening to Bai Ren's words, and then said calmly.

"Since my lord has made up his mind, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao's face that had turned from gloomy to calm, and said in a somewhat respectful tone.

"Zifu, then you go down first! By the way, Zixiu is training soldiers recently, you should go to the barracks to communicate with Zixiu if you have nothing to do!" Cao Cao nodded at Bai Ren after listening to Bai Ren's words, and then spoke kindly Said to Bai Ren.

"Yes!" Bai Ren nodded, and then respectfully exited the hall of Sikong Mansion.

"People's hearts, people's hearts!" Cao Cao looked at Bai Ren's leaving figure, lowered his head as if thinking about something, and finally raised his head, sighing helplessly.

And in Yuan Shu's mansion in Huainan, Yuan Shu was holding the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in his hand, with a very happy expression on his face. In the past few days, Yuan Shu has regarded the Jade Seal of the Nation of the Chuan Kingdom as the treasure bestowed on him by the gods, and he has been holding the Jade Seal of the Nation of the Nation all day long. Yuxi, whether eating or sleeping.

"My lord, now the Han Dynasty has declined, and the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in the hands of the lord. Recently, there are some rumors in the world that those who replace the Han will have a high road! Why don't the lord follow the time, inherit the destiny, and ascend the throne as emperor?" As Yuan Shu's confidant, Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's dog-headed military adviser, had already seen through Yuan Shu's mind. He came to Yuan Shu's hall early in the morning, and said to Yuan Shu in a flattering tone.

"Shut up! I, Yuan Gonglu, am a Hanchen! How could I do such a rebellious thing!" Yuan Shu frowned slightly after hearing Yang Hong's words. He didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly turned to Yang Hong roared.

Chapter 366 Yuan Shu Proclaims Emperor

Looking at Yuan Shu's appearance, Yang Hong, who is Yuan Shu's confidant, was also slightly taken aback, but looking at Yuan Shu's eyes full of longing, Yang Hong seemed to understand something, so he stroked his beard and spoke sincerely. Yuan Shu said: "My lord, the fourth generation and the third lord, how does his status compare with the status of Gao Zu?"

"Gao Zu was just a pavilion chief at the beginning, with mud legs, how can he compare with the nobility of the fourth generation and third father of my Yuan family?" Yuan Shu frowned after hearing Yang Hong's question, and looked at Yang Hong in a disdainful tone. Speaking of which, Yuan Shu had too much disdain for Han Gaozu Liu Bang, how could such a person seize the world.

"The lord has a noble status, and now all the heroes in the world are rising together. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the prestige of the Han Dynasty has long since disappeared. Besides, Liu Xie is the emperor established by Dong Zhuo, a traitor, but his name is not right. , Now that there is no rightful lord in the world, it is a good opportunity for the lord to ascend the throne, and now the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in the hands of the lord, which symbolizes the fate of the destiny, what is the lord still hesitating about now?" Yang Hong looked at Yuan Shu. The look of disdain on his face confirmed Yuan Shu's thoughts even more in his heart, and then he said to Yuan Shu in a very sincere tone.

After hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu frowned a little, stared at the sincere Yang Hong underneath, and asked Yang Hong in a low voice, "Do you think this lord is really destined by destiny?"

"My lord, you are the one whom the destiny belongs to. My lord, don't doubt it. This Jade Seal is in my lord's hands!" Looking at Yuan Shu's greedy eyes, Yang Hong said seriously to Yuan Shu with certainty.

"En! This matter is of great importance, we will discuss it tomorrow, you should step back first!" Seeing Yang Hong's serious and sure look, Yuan Shu nodded, then restored his majestic appearance, and turned to Yang Hong with a serious tone. Said.

"My lord, then I will retreat first, my lord, don't worry about it!" Yang Hong looked at Yuan Shu's serious look, and said in a cautious tone, and then slowly exited Yuan Shu's hall.

Seeing that Yang Hong had already left, Yuan Shu secretly took out a dark black dragon robe from the hidden compartment under his seat, put it on carefully, turned around in front of the seat, and looked Holding the Chuan Guo Yuxi on the table, he murmured in a trance tone: "The Chuan Guo Yuxi, the emperor, and the world, all belong to me, Yuan Shu, Yuan Gonglu!"

"Haha! Haha! Haha!"

At this time, Yuan Shu's unrestrained smile came from Yuan Shu's hall, but it sounded scary and chilling.

At this time, Bai Ren also followed Cao Cao's suggestion and came to the barracks near Xuchang City.
