Chapter 82
Sun Ce neither agreed nor refused, but simply asked Guan Yu to rest in Wu County for two days to relax and rejuvenate his muscles and bones.
In fact, Guan Yu was also impatient, but he was under the roof, so he had no choice but to stay in the inn arranged by Sun Ce for free. He wanted to see what Sun Ce would say in two days.
Of course he didn't know that this was a trap set up by Liu Xie and Sun Ce together.
Of course Liu Xie understands what his biggest advantage is at this stage.
Regardless of whether it was Cao Cao or Guan Yu, except for a few people such as Zhang Hong and Sun Ce, everyone in the world thought that as an emperor, he must have been kidnapped to Jiangdong by Sun Ce. His status in Wu County would even be inferior to that in Xuchang. After all, he was originally
Cao Cao was invited in by Liu Xie himself.
Once Guan Yu thinks so, Liu Xie will certainly be able to achieve great things with his sharp tongue.
After waiting for Guan Yu for two days, he was anxiously greeted by someone he was relatively familiar with, Zhang Hong.
There was a rumor in Xuchang city that Zhang Hong was the one who kidnapped Liu Xie, and Guan Yu was convinced of this.
After all, Zhang Hong has always been Sun Ce's spokesperson in Xuchang, but in the past, both he and Sun Ce showed absolute surrender to Cao Cao, and it took one or two years to surrender.
The fact that a biting dog does not bark has been fully proven in this matter.
"General, please come and be fine."
Zhang Hong didn't have much communication with Guan Yu when he was in Xuchang, but they all knew each other anyway. Zhang Hong must be an important minister in Jiangdong. Guan Yu had obviously seen this a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have sent him to Xuchang as an undercover agent.
.
"Sir, I come to see Your Majesty. I am only representing Guan Yu personally. I have separated from Cao Cao and will not return to Xuchang. I am not an enemy with Jiangdong."
The fact that Zhang Hong could come to see him meant that the matter was successful, so Guan Yu was quite polite to Zhang Hong.
"Bo Fu still highly respects the reputation of the partial general. He has asked me several times whether he can allow the partial general to stay in Jiangdong. If he stays here, he will still be a general of the Han Dynasty, but he will not only hold the official position of a partial general."
."
After hearing this, Guan Yu was about to speak, but Zhang Hong continued speaking unhurriedly.
"But I have informed Bo Fu that the general's ambition is not here, so that he does not need to stay. Although Bo Fu is unwilling to do so, he decided to agree to the general's request because of his ambition to break away from Cao Cao single-handedly. Tomorrow I will
Bo Fu will not interfere in bringing the general to your Majesty's palace, and you will do whatever your Majesty says."
"Well, thank you sir."
Although he said that he had no friendship with Zhang Hong, it seemed a bit far-fetched for Zhang Hong to explain it to him, but the situation was like this, and they had already agreed to let him meet Liu Xie, so this couldn't be false.
After Zhang Hong left the post house, he went directly to the palace.
He had not communicated with Liu Xie alone for a long time, especially after that bet. Liu Xie had an in-depth conversation with Zhang Hong after the bet.
After that conversation, he began to contact Sun Ce and Zhou Yu more, but no third person knew the content of their conversation.
"Sir, long time no see."
After Liu Xie met Zhang Hong in the side hall, his expression did not change much and his opening remarks were very simple.
"Your Majesty, Bo Fu leaves it to me to arrange the meeting between Guan Yu and you. I will bring Guan Yu to the palace around noon tomorrow."
"The Bo Fu has been left to dry for Guan Yu for two days, which has alleviated a lot of trouble for me. I will thank you for the Bo Fu when Sir returns."
Liu Xie nodded and said this in an understatement. He had no intention of saying more to Zhang Hong.
But when Zhang Hong saw this, he did not leave directly. Instead, after a short silence, he asked in a very low voice: "Your Majesty's ultimate purpose in arranging this meeting is not to let Guan Yu serve Jiangdong, but to make Guan Yu serve Jiangdong."
Do you want Guan Yu to serve His Majesty?"
After saying these words, Liu Xie finally raised his eyes that had been lowered and stared at Zhang Hong for a few seconds.
"I'm not surprised that Sir can see this, because I have never hidden anything from Sir."
There was no sense of urgency as if something deep inside his heart had been exposed. Liu Xie neither admitted nor denied it.
"Since I have made an appointment with His Majesty, I will naturally abide by my duty as a Han minister. However, Jiangdong is my home, and Bo Fu and I are like uncles and nephews."
"I said that Bo Fu and I are like brothers. Can Bo Fu admit it? I just want to make myself, the emperor, more like an emperor. If sir, you feel that I am wrong, you can do it at any time.
Let me pay the price. In this world, if we are separated for a long time, we will reunite. It’s just that we can’t be sure who that person is. If that person is me or Bo Fu, both of us may still have a way to survive. If it is someone else, I will not have a way to survive, and the same is true for Bo Fu.
, whether Guan Yu is loyal to me or Jiangdong, at least for now, there is not much difference, but if he is loyal to Liu Bei, it will not be a good thing for Jiangdong. The serious relationship between this, sir, should be clear to me."
Most people really couldn't understand what Liu Xie said, but Zhang Hong was obviously not an ordinary person. He understood the meaning of Liu Xie's words almost instantly.
"In that case, thank you for clearing up the confusion, Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty success in tomorrow's matter!"
The two of them spoke less than ten words back and forth, but Liu Xie was also quite satisfied with Zhang Hong, and Zhang Hong was also quite satisfied with Liu Xie.
After Zhang Hong left, Liu Xie hurried to Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi's room. The three of them whispered for half an hour before Liu Xie left with a dull expression.
"What is the deal between His Majesty and the wives of these two imperial uncles?"
There are only a few people in the palace, so Liu Xie's actions cannot be concealed from Qiao Feng of course. Fu Shou will not deliberately care about Liu Xie's whereabouts with these women he has now, and he usually won't leave the palace anyway.
Because Liu Xie was afraid of trouble, the remaining two nobles had already asked Sun Ce to relocate elsewhere.
Besides Fu Shou, there are the Qiao sisters. Of course, Qiao Shuang will not secretly pay attention to Liu Xie's whereabouts. Her impression of Liu Xie almost stopped when he knocked Sun Ce off the martial arts stage. In addition to admiration, she still
worship.
But after Qiao Feng became curious about Liu Xie, he lost control.
She always felt that Liu Xie's whereabouts were not all for promiscuity. For example, he went to meet Liu Bei's wife and then came out dressed neatly. This was not his style at all.
