Cao Cao took the letter, opened it silently, and read it one by one, his complexion suddenly became heavy, and he was still breathing out of his nose.

The words in the letter basically slandered Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao was the most abominable traitor in the world, and even Xu's mother declared her will by death. As long as Xu Shu took refuge in Cao Cao, Xu's mother would sue her ancestors with death!

"Hmph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, threw the letter in his hand to Cheng Yu, and said to Cheng Yu with a cold face, "I'm afraid Xu Shu would not come even if he died!"

"My lord, don't worry. I can imitate Xu's mother's handwriting, edit a book, and send it to Xinye. I think Xu Shu will definitely come to Xuchang!" Cheng Yu said, looking at Cao Cao with a gloomy expression after hearing Cao Cao's displeased words.

"I'm afraid this is a bit bad! If the old woman knows this, I'm afraid she will really..." Cao Cao began to hesitate after hearing Cheng Yu's words, and then said to Cheng Yu with a heavy tone.

"My lord! Please listen to me. If Xu Shu is with Liu Bei, it will only be a threat from the lord. Besides, when Xu Shu's mother sees her son, it is impossible for her to seek her own death in front of her son!" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu interrupted Cao Cao's words, and said to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.

"Do things, hide a little bit!" Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's words, thought for a while, and finally nodded.

5Chapter 17 Loyalty and filial piety are hard to complete, parting in the rain

In Xinye City, in a remote courtyard, Xu Shu looked at the letter in his hand, sighed silently, then closed his eyes slightly, with a heavy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Alas! Am I really going to leave Xinye?" After a long time, Xu Shu slowly opened his eyes, said in a helpless tone, and walked out of the yard with heavy steps.

In Xinye Prefect's Mansion, Liu Bei was drinking tea with Zhuge Liang. Since Zhuge Liang came, Liu Bei has become accustomed to preparing a pot of good tea when talking with other people.

"Kong Ming, do you think today is a little strange? Normally, Yuan Zhi would have come to the prefect's mansion to deal with government affairs, but today is this time, and I haven't seen Yuan Zhi's figure. It's really strange!" Liu Bei Slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, then looked at Zhuge Liang who was looking at the map on the wall and said.

Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's words, silently took his eyes back from the map, then looked at Liu Bei who was looking at him, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Liu Bei in a calm tone: "My lord, don't worry, At worst, Huiliang will accompany the lord to Yuanzhi's yard to see if there is anything wrong!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei smiled, and then said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Very good! Very good!"

And just after Liu Bei finished speaking, a soldier came to Liu Bei with a heavy face, and then said to Liu Bei out of breath, "My lord, something is wrong, Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..."

"What's wrong with Yuan Zhi?" Liu Bei listened to the soldier's panting voice, quickly put down the teacup in his hand, then stood up from his seat, and said to the soldier with a serious expression.

At this time, Zhuge Liang also stopped the shaking feather fan in his hand, and his bright eyes stared at the soldier with some seriousness.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to say to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xu rushed out of the city gate just now! It seems that we are very anxious. We couldn't stop Mr. Xu, so we came here to repay the Lord!"

"What?" Liu Bei looked at the soldier with a heavy expression after hearing what the soldier said, and then asked the soldier anxiously, "Did Master Xu go out from that city gate?"

"North Gate!" The soldier answered Liu Bei quickly after listening to Liu Bei's question.

After hearing what the soldiers said, Liu Bei quickly left the room, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly, and followed out silently.

At this time, Xu Shu was riding a horse and looked at the sky, which was slightly gloomy. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Not long after, there was the sound of thunder in the sky, and suddenly it rained cats and dogs. Xu Shu had no choice but to find a dense forest to avoid the heavy rain.

"Yuanzhi! Yuanzhi!" Just as Xu Shu was waiting for the rain to stop, there was a sudden shout from the rain. Xu Shu fixed his eyes and saw three riders rushing towards him in the heavy rain.

The leader was Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang were beside him. They got off their horses at the place where Xu Shu stopped the rain. Now they were all wet and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Master!" Xu Shu looked at the wet Liu Bei and Liu Bei's eager face, sighed helplessly, and then shouted at Liu Bei.

"Yuan Zhi, why did you rush out of the city gate without saying a word? But make Bei Hao anxious!" Seeing Xu Shu's sighing expression, Liu Bei squeezed Xu Shu's hand tightly, and said to Xu Shu with a serious expression.

"Yuanzhi? But is there something important?" Zhuge Liang beside him was also wet at this moment, and he looked like a master. Seeing Xu Shu sighing at this time, Zhuge Liang seemed to realize something, and his tone was a little puzzled Asked to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at Zhuge Liang at the side, then looked at Liu Bei with a puzzled expression, shook his head helplessly, and said to Liu Bei with some emotion: "Master, I, Xu Yuan, can't stand you! I'm afraid I have to leave you now , to Xuchang!"

"What, why?" Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu in shock and asked after hearing Xu Shu's words, while Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun beside him also had question marks on their faces.

Xu Shu glanced at Liu Bei, and explained helplessly to Liu Bei: "I received a letter early this morning, it was written by my mother, and now my mother is in Xuchang, probably Cao Cao threatened me to leave my lord and go to Xuchang! "

"Yuan Zhi, this is Cao's plan, you must not believe it lightly!" Zhuge Liang's complexion became heavy after hearing Xu Shu's words, and then he said to Xu Shu in a heavy tone.

"It's a plan, but it's not the same. My mother has worked so hard to bring me up. She used her own ability to let my mother enjoy the rest of her life. Now that my mother is in Cao Cao's hands, I know it is a plan, but I have to go to Xuchang! To prevent my mother from being killed Cao Cao!" Xu Shu listened to Zhuge Liang's words, looked at Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei with a sad face and said, then looked at Liu Bei's hesitant expression, and lowered his head helplessly.

"Yuan Zhi should be filial, you should go! Remember to say hello to the old lady!" Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu's appearance, without much hesitation, but lightly patted Xu Shu's shoulder, and then Said to Xu Shu in a soft tone.

"Loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma since ancient times. Yuan Zhi is about to leave the envoy now. Don't worry, envoy. Even if I am in Xuchang, I will never offer a strategy to Cao Cao!" Xu Shu listened to Liu Bei's words and looked at Liu Bei's concerned expression. , gave a big gift to Liu Bei, and then said with some emotion in his tone.

Zhuge Liang on the side heard what Liu Bei said, and then looked at Xu Shu, he could only touch his beard helplessly, and kept his mouth shut.

The rain stopped slowly, Liu Bei looked at the clear sky, took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Shu, and then said with some emotion: "Yuan Zhi, let's go now! Be careful on the way , remember to take good care of the old lady!"

"My lord, remember to seize Jingzhou as soon as possible, and don't miss the good opportunity because of emotion! I will leave my words here, and I will leave!" Xu Shu looked at the gold that Liu Bei handed over, and then said to Liu Bei with emotion, then got off his horse and headed north and go.

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu's back and sighed helplessly, while Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei silently, and then said with some emotion: "My lord, Yuan Zhi just left like this, don't you think it's a pity, my lord?" ?”

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei showed a faint smile, and then said to Zhuge Liang silently: "A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. If he wants to leave, I can't keep him. Instead of doing this, it's better to help others! Kong Ming sometimes wants Learn to loosen, it is more difficult to loosen and tighten!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment when he heard Liu Bei's words, and silently lowered his head to think about what Liu Bei said.

"Don't think about it anymore, military commander. When the time comes, you will naturally understand. There are some things you can't figure out. Only then will you understand. Let's go!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang's thinking and said to him. Zhuge Liang said calmly, then chuckled, then got on his horse and headed towards Xinye City.

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly, and then followed Liu Bei on horseback.

In Xuchang City, Xu Shu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion eagerly. His hair was a little disheveled and his face was a little tired. It seemed that the journey was extremely hard.

Cao Cao looked at the emaciated Xu Shu in front of him, and said to Xu Shu with some emotion, "You are Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi?"

The first time Xu Shu met Cao Cao face to face, he didn't shrink back. Instead, he bowed to Cao Cao, and then responded to Cao Cao in a calm tone: "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, I have met the prime minister. I don't know where my mother is?"

"Yuan Zhi don't have to worry, the old lady is doing well, you can follow the truth!" Cao Cao laughed after hearing Xu Shu's words, and said to Xu Shu in a calm tone, then stretched out his hand to Xu Shu, and then Walk towards the backyard.

In the backyard, Cao Cao opened the door, and Xu Shu's mother in the room watched Cao Cao approaching, and said angrily, "Cao thief, get out!"

"Old lady, look who I brought here!" Cao Cao was not angry after hearing Xu Shu's mother's words, and said to Xu Shu's mother in a calm tone.

"Mother, is the child visiting mother?" Xu Shu, who was behind Cao Cao, heard his mother's voice, and it came directly from Cao Cao's side, and then fell down in front of Xu's mother, crying bitterly.

"What a bastard! What a bastard!" At this moment, Xu Shu's mother looked at Xu Shu who was crying, and said to Xu Shu angrily.

Seeing his mother like this, Xu Shu was a little astonished, and then helplessly asked his mother: "Mother, did the child do something wrong?"

"I thought traveling around the world and looking for famous teachers would make a big difference, but I didn't expect to see them today, but I am still so stupid. Can't you see that this is a trap, and I will write such a letter now! Fool! Fool! Son! You're so stupid!" Seeing Xu Shu's ignorant face, Xu Shu's mother said to Xu Shu in a hoarse tone, and then beat her chest hard with her hands.

Xu Shu was stunned when he heard his mother's words, and looked at Cao Cao in surprise, only to see Cao Cao helplessly shook his head at Xu Shu, and then walked out silently.
