LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 57
In Xuzhou City, the government office.
Cao Jian received the military order and was quite speechless after learning that he had been sold out:
"This Guo Jia is really good at adding drama! Can't I stay in the land of gentleness for a few more days?……"
Complaining as he was, he certainly did not dare to shirk the responsibility of the Cao family attacking Xia Pi.
After a simple arrangement.
Cao Jian decided to set off the next day!
First, he said goodbye to the four beauties, Diao Chan, Du Shi, Gan Mei, and Mi Zhen.
He also explained to Chen Deng, Chen Qun, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other important civil and military officials.
Afterwards, Cao Jian turned around and prepared to rush to Xia Pi!
The fierce general Le Jin said on the spot that he wanted to protect Cao Jian in the name of guarding!
Speaking of which, although this guy is ruthless and doesn't talk much, he is really a warmonger in his heart!
The last time the emperor's commendation edict came down, he actually got some rewards: because of his meritorious service in capturing Xuzhou City, he was promoted to the next level, from a lieutenant to a general of the middle army!
Strictly speaking, Le Jin is no longer Cao Jian's personal guard, but in order to fight, he would rather lower his own value!
Although there is the intention of protecting the master, the warlike violent factor is also an important reason.
Cao Jian naturally knew this!
To be honest, it would be a great help to have such a fierce general to assist in the attack on Xiapi!
But after a brief hesitation, Cao Jian still refused: After all, the most important thing in his mind now is to ensure the stability of Xuzhou City!
Just kidding, this Xuzhou is already his base camp, and the city is now occupied by four beauties that he had finally snatched!
Having one more reliable and trusted general to guard the city would make him feel more at ease!
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens and his home is stolen by others?
Then he would regret it and have no place to cry...
As for Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, who originally came as Liu Bei's envoys?
Since the Mi family has been conquered, Mi Fang will naturally stay in the city as a representative of the family to help, and it is impossible for him to go back to Liu Bei!
Mi Zhu, who is determined to bet on both sides, decided to go with Cao Jian: so that he can go back and report to Liu Bei!
Cao Jian couldn't stop him: 7
In the end, he took his brother-in-law with him, escorted by a small team, and set off lightly.
The parting with an uncertain return date undoubtedly made people miss each other and feel very reluctant.
Diao Chan, Du Shi, Gan Mei, and Mi Zhen, the four beauties, shed tears for this...
Countless parting sorrows finally turned into system reward prompts!
【Ding! Diao Chan feels reluctant to leave, system points +20, +30……】
【Ding! Mrs. Du is sad because of the host's longing for her, system points +10, +20……】
【……】
Accompanied by prompts from time to time.
Cao Jian and his group traveled all the way through mountains and rivers!
Finally, they arrived safely...
What awaited Cao Jian, the great hero, was naturally a high-standard welcoming party.
After the banquet, they were full of food and wine.
Boss Cao understood that Cao Jian had worked hard along the way: he was not in a hurry to discuss military affairs, but specifically instructed him to take a few days off first! It would not be too late to discuss the attack on Xia Pi after Cao Jian had rested enough!
Cao Jian was naturally happy to accept this!
In contrast, Liu Bei, who had been alone in the empty room for a long time, could not wait!
After learning that Mi Zhu had returned with Cao Jian, Liu Bei began to ask impatiently that day:
"Zi Zhong, I'm so happy to have you back!
I wonder if the two ladies are doing well in Xuzhou now? Have you suffered any grievances?"
Mi Zhu was naturally evasive and evasive about this, and only said nice things!
Although he wanted to tell Liu Bei the cruel truth that happened in Xuzhou, because it involved the younger sister of the Mi family, he couldn't tell everything every time he said it!
This hesitant look immediately made Liu Bei, who had experienced ups and downs, panic!
In the end, under the instigation of the impatient Zhang Fei, Liu Bei didn't care about anything else!
The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang went straight to Cao Jian, the instigator, to ask what happened!
To say that Liu Bei can indeed be called a first-class figure in the world!
In this situation where he might obviously be cheated on, he was still able to keep his emotions to himself, and his Qi-raising skills can be said to be well-trained! After a simple bow, Liu Bei forced a smile and did not forget to be polite to Cao Jian:
"Second Master! Regarding my two wives, Gan and Mi! Please take care of them and bring them to Xuzhou City for protection! Xuande is grateful for your kindness.……"
After a brief pause,
Liu Bei got straight to the point:
"Counting the time, it has been more than a month and a half since the two ladies left...
But I don't know why? Since they went to Xuzhou, there has been no news since then!
Xuande is puzzled as to the reason! I wonder if the second young master can help me solve this puzzle?"
Cao Jian said with an innocent expression:
"Don't worry, Lord Xuande!
They are living well in Xuzhou!
Why didn't they send a message to Lord Xuande?
There is no other reason! It's just because they don't want to reply to you, Lord Xuande.……"
As soon as these words came out,
Liu Bei's face changed slightly:
"Second Young Master, what do you mean by that?!"
Cao Jian smiled calmly and said with a hint of meaning:
"What exactly does it mean... I guess Lord Xuande himself should know it best, right?" (To read the exciting novel, go to Flylu Novel Network!)
"I wonder if Lord Xuande still remembers that when he was in danger, he only cared about his own life and abandoned the two ladies to fend for themselves? Do you still remember the brothers and sisters and clothes theory he mentioned?
The two ladies are now very disappointed with Lord Xuande because of this incident.……"
Liu Bei couldn't help but frown after hearing this!
Guan Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this:
"What you said doesn't make any sense!"
"Regardless of the siblings and clothes, how did the second young master and the two sisters-in-law know about it!
Even if they were really angry?
Now it has been more than a month! In any case, they should have calmed down a long time ago, right?
There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife, how could they hold a grudge until now, and even cut off contact because of it!
Among them, I am afraid that someone is obstructing it! Intentionally making things difficult, blocking my two sisters-in-law from communicating with my eldest brother?!"
Cao Jian smiled in his heart when he heard it:
"Whether I am deliberately making things difficult for you, there is no point in saying more now! When we defeat Lu Bu, you will see the two ladies with your own eyes and you will know the answer naturally!"
After that, he said with a burning look:
"Judging from your reactions and questions, it seems that you still don't know anything?
It seems that Mr. Zizhong still has a lot of things that he hasn't had time to tell you in detail.……"
After hearing this, Guan and Zhang looked at each other, feeling that it didn't seem like a good thing.
Liu Bei even felt a little uneasy:
"Oh no! It seems that something is wrong! Otherwise, Zi Zhong would not have been so secretive all this time!"
While complaining in his heart, Liu Bei had already felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked:
"What exactly is the Second Young Master referring to?"
"I am now extremely anxious! No matter what it is, please give me some advice, Mr. Second!"
He had said this, so Cao Jian naturally didn't bother to beat around the bush and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Xuande has always been kind and righteous!
Given your noble character, if the two ladies have long since left you and do not want to continue to live together, and are willing to divorce you, then Lord Xuande will surely help you as a gentleman and will not maliciously stop you, right?" As soon as the words fell,
Liu Bei was startled and said in a hurry:
"Impossible! The two ladies would never treat me like this! This assumption is absolutely impossible!!"
Guan Yu's eyes instantly became sharp as knives, and he snorted coldly:
"Second Master, please be careful with your words——！！"
"Such a joke is not funny!
If you dare to talk nonsense like this again, don't blame Guan for not agreeing with the knife in my hand!!!"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he glared at him:
"You are so unreasonable!"
"If you hadn't been so reckless, the two sisters-in-law would have been reunited with my eldest brother long ago!
Now we haven't come to settle accounts with you yet, but you actually cursed me viciously as soon as you opened your mouth! What are you saying, the two sisters-in-law want to divorce my eldest brother?
Take back your nonsense immediately!"
"Otherwise, not only will my second brother not agree, but even the spear in my hand, Zhang Fei, will not agree!!"
Cao Jian laughed at this.
"Do you think I am joking?"
After saying that, he looked around with a smile on his face. He quickly took in the angry looks of Liu, Guan and Zhang.
Immediately, Cao Jian ignored their murderous looks and stood up and said:
"Lord Xuande, let me be frank!"
"To be honest, the assumption just now is not an assumption, but an ironclad fact!
Madams, I have made up my mind! No matter what, I will leave you! As for the reason, I have already mentioned it just now, so I will not repeat it.……"
As soon as these words came out!
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were instantly struck by lightning!
Liu Bei: ???
Guan Yu: ???
Zhang Fei: ???...
Amidst the astonishment!
Liu Bei seemed to have suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and his heart began to bleed!
His face was as cold as ice, and his hands hidden under his long sleeves were secretly clenched. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his palms were already scratched by nails because of excessive force, but he didn't even notice it!
Seeing that he might go berserk at any time, Liu Bei still concealed his face well, suppressing his anger, and said word by word, looking directly at Cao Jian:
"If... if this is true? May I ask if the Second Young Master has contributed to this?"
"Furthermore, if the two ladies really decide to leave, I would like to ask them... where do they want to go?"
Hearing this, Cao Jian did not shy away!
His eyes were like knives, staring straight at Liu Bei in front of him, and he said solemnly:
"There is no such thing as persuasion...everything is just the two ladies following their inner choices!"
"As for the second question? I don't need to say more, Lord Xuande also knows it well.……"
"So, let's be frank! I think that after the two ladies and Lord Xuande get divorced, I will marry you openly!
This way, it will not be against morals and it will also be���As for the fact that it would hurt their reputation too much, I'm sure Lord Xuande wouldn't have any objection, right?"As soon as he finished speaking,
Guan and Zhang suddenly jumped up!
"You thief! You are going too far!……"
