Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"My lord, my subordinates seconded the proposal."

"If Ling Cao is forgiven, Sun Ce will feel the same way if he thinks about it, knowing the Lord's kindness."

"I knew that my lord is kind, so I definitely can't bear to be punished for trivial things!"

Listening to everyone's words, Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction, and finally looked at Ling Cao, Ling Cao bowed quickly, obediently listened and said goodbye.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, and said: "Since everyone is begging for you, then I don't care about it with you, but you must remember that military conditions and military orders are all crucial matters. No matter what time, there must be no ambiguity. You can remember Living!"

"Follow the envoy's instruction!"

Ling Cao hurriedly responded loudly, until then, the tone in his heart was completely relieved.

Yuan Shu raised his hand for a little support, and said, "Okay, no matter what, you have been working hard on the road, so let's sit again!"

"Thank you, Ambassador!"

Ling Cao thanked him, stood up and wanted to go back to his seat, but just after taking two steps, his steps suddenly became a little stiff, and he almost turned around.

Ling Cao's strange appearance was noticed by everyone, and some of them laughed out loud. Yuan Shu also thought it was funny, shook his head and reprimanded him: "My man, when the landslide happened in front of him, he didn't change his face, and he was only slightly frightened before, so I called you In this way, how can we make contributions in the future?"

Ling Cao hurriedly turned around and explained to Yuan Shu: "I want to report to you, the villain is not afraid, but..."

Chapter 298 Sun Ce's Request

"Huh? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, he just mentioned it casually, but Ling Cao seemed to have a long talk with him.

You know, Ling Cao is just a small military marquis, and if it wasn't for a coincidence, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the mansion on weekdays. In the eyes of a high-ranking person like Yuan Shu, he can set up a seat for Ling Cao because of his own appreciation. However, if Ling Cao wanted to ask him for some advice, it would be the little man who didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Moreover, Ling Cao still looked hesitant, which made Yuan Shu even more unhappy.

In fact, Ling Cao didn't have this kind of hesitant nature at first, it was just that he was frightened by Yuan Shu before, and his courage was weakened after all.

Standing there for a while, seeing Yuan Shu getting more and more impatient, he gritted his teeth, Ling Cao fell to the ground violently, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to report to the envoy, when the villain set off, Captain Sun had an explanation. If the envoy Jun has a reward because of Wu Jun's affairs, so you must reject it for him."

Yuan Shu heard the words and said angrily: "How to reward this matter, I haven't made up my mind yet, Sun Ce will reject it early. Could it be that he looks down on Yuan?"

Ling Cao quickly argued, "No, Lieutenant Sun didn't mean to offend the envoy, he just had a request, and he hoped to exchange for military merit."

Yuan Shu frowned slightly. Sun Ce's contribution this time is very great, and his reputation will be even louder than before. If he suppresses the reward again, even if the people around him don't say anything, the soldiers below will definitely do it for him. Sun Ce complained.

But it was such a good opportunity to enter, but Sun Ce planned to give up. What would he want?

Yuan Shu felt a little bad, but still asked, "What request?"

Ling Cao took a deep breath, lowered his head and said slowly: "Lieutenant Sun did not seek money for this victory, and he is not an official. He only has a grudge against his father in his heart. I beg you to kill Li Yi when he arrives in Yangzhou. The whole family is very grateful to the envoy!"

The hall fell into an almost eerie silence for a moment.

Ling Cao lowered his head, he was very nervous.

Even Ling Cao felt that Sun Ce's demands on Yuan Shu were a little too much.

It's not that Ling Cao thinks there's something wrong with Sun Ce wanting to kill Li Yi. After all, his father's feud is irreconcilable, so it's really impossible for Yuan Shu to agree.

The dead silence in the hall at this moment made Ling Cao more certain of his thoughts, but he could only smile wryly at this.

I don't know how long it took before Yuan Shu burst out laughing. Ling Cao raised his head in doubt, and saw Yuan Shu pointing at him and asked, "It's interesting to ask Yuan to kill Li Yi. It's really interesting. I'll ask you first. Do you know what is wrong?" Li Yi, do you know where he is now?"

Yuan Shu's voice didn't sound as angry as Ling Cao expected, which made Ling Cao slightly relieved. At the same time, he looked around and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

Ling Cao really didn't know Li Yi's situation. When he came to interrogate him, Sun Ce just told him that Li Yi was going to Shouchun soon, but there was no specific time, and after Ling Cao arrived in Shouchun, he went directly to the city and didn't inquire at all. news opportunity.

What Yuan Shu said just now made Ling Cao a somewhat absurd guess.

Li Yi might be here!

Ling Cao started looking for someone who might be Li Yi, but they were all high-ranking officials in Yangzhou, and he didn't recognize any of them except Yuan Shu. How could he tell them apart in a short time?

Ling Cao searched around but found no results. On the contrary, the obvious disdainful eyes that many people looked at him made him feel uncomfortable.

Ling Cao couldn't figure it out. What he just said did offend Yuan Shu a little bit. It was understandable for others to be angry or disdainful towards him, but why did they despise him so much?

Yuan Shu's smile stopped suddenly, and he said coldly, "Then you should recognize the person first, and then say those words!"

"This"

Ling Cao looked around in a daze again, this time he finally saw something was wrong, it turned out that besides many eyes despising him, there were also some people who focused their attention on another person, and that person was the one who just helped He excused the young man.

Looking at it, the doubts in Ling Cao's eyes faded, and his face gradually turned red. He didn't know that this was probably Li Yi.

This

Ling Cao wanted to cry immediately, and finally understood why others despised him so much. In fact, even he himself felt ashamed.

Ling Zuo was Sun Ce's subordinate, admired Sun Ce's bravery, and was willing to die for him. Even though Yuan Shu was angry and worried that he would be killed by Yuan Shu, he still told Sun Ce's confession.

As for Li Yi, Ling Cao's original thought was that since he had a grudge against Sun Ce, he could kill him if he could. For him, he had no likes or dislikes.

But not now, Li Yi just saved him once in front of Yuan Shu, but he was about to tell Li Yi to die in a blink of an eye. Although this was Sun Ce's order, the words came from his mouth, as if He wanted Li Yi to die, how could this make Ling Cao feel bad?

Ling Cao was so ashamed in his heart that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look Li Yi in the face, but by coincidence, Li Yi stood up at this moment and smiled at Yuan Shu: "Master, Ling Cao is just doing it for Sun Ce. It’s all just passing on the word, although that request is nothing more than that, but he can be regarded as a hero, Yi begged again, don’t make things difficult for him.”

Seeing that Li Yi is so magnanimous, even after Ling Cao said those words, he still didn't care about him, and even interceded twice, everyone couldn't help secretly admire Li Yi's measure, and Ling Cao himself was wrapped in various emotions, his hands trembling slightly, Almost lost his temper.

How could he be so virtuous, and he won the favor of Li Xianghou twice for no reason?

Li Xianghou is so magnanimous, could he really be that despicable and shameless villain in Sun Ce's mouth?

Ling Cao's mentality was a bit broken, but at this moment, not many people cared about him anymore.

Yuan Shu looked at Li Yi with a full smile, and he was very satisfied with Li Yi's reaction just now.

Ling Cao said that Sun Ce wanted Li Yi to die, and Li Yi never showed any signs of panic from the beginning to the end. This proved that Li Yi was calm enough, and it also represented Li Yi's absolute trust in him.

The only regret is that it is a bit too soft-hearted, and it may cause bad things if it is used alone, but if it is used by the side, it is quite reassuring.

After "appreciating" Li Yi for a while, Yuan Shu asked with a smile, "Is Yunlong really not complaining about this situation?"

Li Yi glanced at Ling Cao, then smiled wryly, and said, "General Sun's death is indeed related to me, but it was not my fault. , After all, there is guilt in my heart, these things, I can only retreat if I can."

Although Li Yi's words did not clearly confuse black and white, and even admitted some of his mistakes, but he handled it very well, not only did not make people blame him, but it aroused sympathy.

"Ugh."

Yuan Shu sighed, feeling that Li Yi was wronged, he didn't tremble, and said directly to Ling Cao: "For the sake of the Marquis Xiang pleading for you twice, I don't care about it with you, you go back and tell Sun Ce , Breaking the city is certainly meritorious, but it is a crime to kill Xianghou's life. This time the merits and demerits are equal, so don't care about it, but if you do it again in the future, don't blame me for not thinking of the old Sun Taishou's kindness!"
