Chapter 780

~8 min read 1,448 words

In front of Lu Zhi's Central Army Tent under the night.

Liu Bei, with his head wrapped in white cloth, was walking toward Lu Zhi's Central Army Tent with his head down.

From a distance, the guards standing in front of Lu Zhi's tent saw Liu Bei.

Then they turned their heads and whispered to their companions in a low voice.

Liu Bei turned a deaf ear.

Of course, it was not just Liu Bei who pretended not to hear; in fact, Liu Bei could only hear with one ear now, and the other could not hear at all.

When he was young, Liu Bei met a fortune teller.

That person said that his pair of ears were naturally noble, and he would inevitably be noble in the future.

For so many years, no matter where Liu Bei walked, his pair of big ears were often admired by others, saying that this was a sign of wealth.

But now...

Thinking of the bloody ear that fell to the ground during the day, Liu Bei felt that the pain increased a bit.

"Duan Yu..."

Liu Bei, with his head down, had a hateful expression, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

"I will report this hatred sooner or later."

Arriving in front of Lu Zhi's tent, Liu Bei raised his hands slightly, pretending that nothing had happened, and said with a calm face: "Please report, just say Liu Bei is here."

The guard looked at Liu Bei, then turned and went into the tent to report.

Before long, Lu Zhi let Liu Bei in.

Walking into the tent lit by candles, Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi sitting behind the desk.

"Xuande is here, sit down first." Lu Zhi raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Then he lowered his head to pack the letters in his hand and sealed them with wax.

Seeing that Lu Zhi was busy, Liu Bei bowed to Lu Zhi and said: "Lu Shi, for today's matter, Bei has lost face for Lu Shi."

Lu Zhi shook his head after packing the letters: "This matter cannot blame you."

"You don't have to blame yourself, but it implicated your three brothers to be injured, and I feel a little sorry for it."

"How are the injuries of Yide and Yunchang?"

Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Liu Bei's heart relaxed a bit.

"Thank you, Lu Shi, for your concern. Second Brother's injury is worry-free, just need to rest more."

"Yide..."

Liu Bei took a deep breath.

Guan Yu only took a punch from Duan Yu, his internal organs were shaken and he had some internal injuries, and he would be fine after recuperating for a period of time.

But Zhang Fei was really hit by Duan Yu's weapon.

Although there was only one strike, that strike shattered the armor on Zhang Fei's chest.

It was even more broken bones and tendons, and serious internal injuries.

The doctor said that if Zhang Fei didn't have armor at the time, and if he didn't unload some force when he flew backward after being hit.

This strike would probably kill Zhang Fei.

For this reason, Liu Bei also made a clear judgment on Duan Yu's martial arts.

Duan Yu's martial arts were by no means something that ordinary people could contend with.

I am afraid that no one in this world can kill Duan Yu in a one-on-one situation.

When bandaging wounds in the tent in the afternoon, Liu Bei didn't know how many times he had deduced in his mind.

How to kill Duan Yu.

The continuous charge of a large number of cavalry, long-range arrow shooting, or after binding him, using strong crossbows to snipe, using bed crossbows to bomb...

Liu Bei deduced various methods countless times in his heart.

"Yide's injury is slightly heavier, but there is no worry about his life, let Lu Shi worry." Liu Bei bowed.

"Hey..."

Lu Zhi sighed: "I didn't expect this matter to develop to such a situation, and I didn't expect that Duan Yu would be so arrogant and overbearing."

"This time I was also used by others."

Lu Zhi said while shaking his head.

Lu Zhi also realized that he had been used by others after the fact.

Of course, this matter can only blame himself.

If he hadn't submitted a memorial to the imperial court, wanting the imperial court to reprimand Dong Zhuo to cooperate with him in attacking Guangzong City.

It wouldn't have been found by others to use the space.

It was his urgency, wanting to quell the chaos as soon as possible, that led to this gap being found.

He didn't know which people in the court submitted a memorial suggesting that Dong Zhuo's prison cart be sent to Luoyang.

He didn't know who suggested that he arrest Dong Zhuo.

But the imperial court's order came, and he could only execute it.

Now the goal of those people in the court has been achieved.

Dong Zhuo has been sent to Luoyang.

But he has offended Duan Yu deeply.

He has also seen Duan Yu's methods.

Now Duan Yu is in Jizhou, and I am afraid that the two will have a long time to get along.

Based on Duan Yu's character, this matter will definitely not be easily let go.

In the future, there may be some trouble coming to the door.

"Xuande, take this letter." Lu Zhi handed the sealed letter to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stood up and bowed his head to receive the letter from Lu Zhi.

When he saw the three words on the envelope, Liu Bei was stunned.

Letter of recommendation?

"Lu Shi, this..." Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Lu Zhi with a confused and puzzled look.

"Hey..." Lu Zhi sighed, pressed his hand to signal Liu Bei to sit down first, and then said:

"Xuande, originally I intended to wait until the Huang Jin rebels were suppressed, then recommend you as a filial and incorrupt official, and then enter the court as an official, but now it seems that it is probably not possible."

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and said: "Once this matter comes out, Duan Yu will definitely not let it go."

"And he has already arrived in Jizhou, so it is inevitable that Duan Yu will retaliate in the future."

"This person could already see his character of reporting every grievance when he was in Bingzhou before."

"The Wang family brothers in Jinyang, as well as the Inspector of Liangzhou, were all sent to prison by Duan Yu himself."

"I am not worried about myself, but I am worried about you three brothers."

"Since you three brothers followed me to suppress the rebellion, you can be considered to have made great contributions. If you are targeted by Duan Yu, I am afraid..."

Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "Duan Yu is now the General of the Vanguard, but if Duan Yu targets you, I am afraid I cannot protect you."

"So, this letter of recommendation is prepared for you by me. Take this letter and go to Xuzhou."

"Tao Qian of Xuzhou is my old friend. He will definitely arrange a position for you so that you can take root in Xuzhou."

"Tao Qian is now the Inspector of Xuzhou, and this person has upright character and has always had prestige. With him taking care of you in Xuzhou, it can be considered a good way out."

Liu Bei looked at the letter in his hand.

For a moment, he only felt a buzzing in his brain.

Is he... belonging to being dismissed?

Liu Bei wanted to say something, but looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Liu Bei stood up slowly and bowed respectfully to Lu Zhi.

"Thank you, Lu Shi, Bei is very grateful. I feel very guilty that I cannot serve by Lu Shi's side."

Liu Bei said with a choked voice: "If Lu Shi still has a place to use Bei, just send a letter, Bei will definitely die without regret, to repay Lu Shi's kindness."

Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Xuande, you are loyal and benevolent. As long as you persist in this heart, you will definitely achieve something in the future."

"Go, set off tonight, I have also prepared some things for you, you take them together."

Liu Bei nodded and did not refuse.

He also knew why he was asked to leave tonight.

This trip to Xuzhou is thousands of miles away, and if he leaves during the day, he is afraid of being discovered by Duan Yu. ===== CHAPTER 782 =====
