Chapter 1142

~6 min read 1,063 words

"Brother Liu, we met too late. Your father is my father! Next time, take me with you to pay respects!" Li Si said righteously.

Little did he know that Liu Bei was already laughing wildly in his heart. How could he not know that the other party wanted to dig up the grave?

When the time comes, he would just give him a fake grave and let him dig for a lifetime!

"Brother Liu, I have a question I've always wanted to ask. I wonder if Brother Liu can clear up my confusion?" Li Si saw the atmosphere gradually solidify and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Ask, Liu will definitely tell Brother Li everything he knows!"

"Why does Brother Liu need so many bronze swords?" After Li Si asked, his little finger was already slightly raised.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was drunk now, he wanted to see if this Liu Bei was a spy for someone else.

How could there be someone in the world who suited his taste so well?

It must be fake; he must have a purpose in approaching him.

However, Liu Bei actually burst into tears!

Liu Bei started wailing loudly, which left Li Si confused. Why did he suddenly start crying for no reason?

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something unhappy?"

Who knew that Liu Bei would cry even louder? Li Si also put down the small movements in his hands.

At this moment, he even felt a hint of heartache. That's right, it was heartache!

Liu Bei cried too miserably. Never mind Li Si, even the maids and servants outside the door felt sad, and several maids even started sobbing along!

"Brother Li, you don't know. My father was hacked to death by bandits, and his resentment is too deep. We need to cast a huge bronze lion to suppress it!"

"But a high-ranking expert said that not only do we need a bronze lion, but we also need to burn countless amounts of grain and money for it every year!"

"Bei, my heart is bitter!" Liu Bei waved his fists and pounded his chest hard.

Li Si, who was beside him, couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. At this moment, he no longer doubted Liu Bei. He began to sympathize with Liu Bei, and he even felt a hint of sadness himself, feeling as if he had experienced this kind of thing himself!

But Liu Bei was penniless. Those thirteen iron swords were obtained because he was lucky. And he, Li Si, the Prime Minister of Great Qin, couldn't even finish his salary, not to mention that there were people who often sent him money and food to curry favor with him.

Thinking of this, Li Si felt he should do something!

"Brother Liu, don't be afraid. From now on, your business is my business. You can rest at my mansion tonight.

Wait until tomorrow morning, and I will send someone to send some things over so that you can build that bronze lion as soon as possible!"

After Li Si finished speaking, he drank several more mouthfuls of wine himself. Finally, Li Si was truly drunk.

He had a strange dream, dreaming that he and Liu Bei had swapped identities, dreaming that he treated Liu Bei sincerely, while Liu Bei was always scheming against him, wanting to take advantage of him.

Finally, he woke up from the dream!

Only after waking up did Li Si realize how excessive he had been. He decided to send a few more things to Liu Bei!

"Brother Liu, be careful on this journey. There are quite a few vehicles, but don't be afraid. They all have my Li family's mark on them; no one will be blind enough to attack you." Li Si looked at Liu Bei, who was gradually moving away, and felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.

And what about our Liu Bei?

Eating big fish and meat, drinking good wine and eating good food, lying in the carriage, feeling very happy.

It turned out that Li Si had actually sent him five carts of money!

Good heavens, five whole carts!

How many soldiers could these five carts of money raise, and how many things could be done?

Soon, Liu Bei and the others' carriages left Xianyang. At night, they set up camp and stayed in place.

In the middle of the night, countless figures appeared nearby, and our Liu Bei was not asleep at all at this moment.

He tossed and turned, always feeling that he was a little bit sorry for that Li Si.

He was afraid that something would happen to him on the road, so he specially arranged for quite a few experts to protect himself, and tonight, all of these people had to die.

Because only dead people don't talk.

Soon, those figures appeared in front of Liu Bei. They took over the five carriages filled with gold, silver, and treasures.

However, they did not become greedy for wealth. They would pull the carriages to Bashu and then return to Xianyang to wait for orders.

That's right, they were the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards that Qin Mu gave to Liu Bei!

One hundred percent loyalty ensured they wouldn't have ulterior motives, and their powerful strength allowed them to perfectly escort this cargo.

After waiting for the Embroidered Uniform Guards to leave, Liu Bei finally picked up a long sword that was already covered in blood.

"Hiss! It hurts a bit, but for the lord, everything is worth it!" Liu Bei hardened his heart and hurt himself, and made his body look tattered and torn.

After a long time, seeing that the timing was mature enough, Liu Bei hurried toward Xianyang.

However, as soon as he arrived in Xianyang, he was stopped by someone, because he was too dirty and covered in blood, and they were afraid he would go in and cause trouble.

As luck would have it, Li Si, after Liu Bei left, happened to be going out to relax.

Suddenly he heard a noise. He instinctively lifted the carriage curtain to take a look and then closed it.

Hmm, they were arguing, but that person looked a bit familiar.

The next second, Li Si lifted the curtain again abruptly!

This isn't right, didn't he already go back?
