LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 18
It's almost time to confess to Lao Liu.
After all, pretending to be an envoy from Jingzhou was just a temporary measure to trick Lao Liu into coming to Jingzhou.
Now that Liu Bei's people are here, his identity will soon be exposed, and there is no point in pretending to continue.
It's better to tell the truth than to be exposed.
"Ziyu, do you not understand what you are saying?"
Liu Bei was confused.
Guan Yu and others on the left and right were also confused.
Zhang Fei shouted:"Deng Ziyu, you are not Liu Biao's envoy, why did you lie to my brother?"
Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu, eager to get a reasonable explanation from him.
"Mu is indeed a descendant of the Deng family in Jingzhou. This is true."
"I just respect Liu Shijun's benevolence and righteousness, and I couldn't bear to make him die in Xuzhou, so I traveled thousands of miles to Xuzhou to help him get out of trouble."
"Just considering that I am a white person, the envoy may not listen to my persuasion, so I had to pretend to be Liu Biao's envoy."
"Mu's original intention was to help the envoy, but he had no choice but to resort to some tricks. I hope the envoy can forgive me."
Deng Mu later blurred the story and told Liu Bei frankly.
But he modified it a little, changing his intention to defect to Lao Liu out of respect. There was no other way, defecting to the boss was also a technical job.
What was sent to the door on his own initiative, the other party People often don’t cherish or pay too much attention to things. They will cherish things that they have worked hard to get, but they will cherish them even more.
This is human nature.
That’s why Old Liu in history visited Zhuge Liang three times and invited Zhuge Liang out, so he listened to Zhuge Liang’s words. , regarded as a treasure.
Deng Mu felt that Zhuge Liang may not have intended to assist Old Liu for a long time, but in order to make Old Liu value and cherish him, he deliberately staged a show to induce Old Liu to ask for three invitations.
Now that he wants to be Liu Bei's mastermind, naturally We must learn from Zhuge Liang and let Old Liu take the initiative to invite him to come out.
Only in this way can he establish his position in Liu Bei's camp and suppress the fierce guys like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly realized.
The doubts in his heart , and this was solved.
Originally, he was thinking that Liu Biao was a member of the Han Dynasty clan with a prominent family background.
And he, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, was just a wild descendant of the Liu family.
He and Liu Biao had never had any friendship or interaction in his life, and Xuzhou and Jingzhou were not in contact with each other, so they had no interest in each other.
In this case, there was no reason for Liu Biao to send an envoy to Xuzhou to establish a relationship with him.
Let alone I wanted to persuade him to abandon Xuzhou and run all the way to Jingzhou.
This doubt has always been hidden in his heart.
It was not until today, when Deng Mu told him frankly, that he finally understood
"How can I be so virtuous and capable that I am so valued by Ziyu that he came all the way to save me from danger?"
"Ziyu is so kind, I am really grateful! Liu
Bei, who understood the truth, not only did not blame Deng Mu for hiding it from him, but was even more moved.
Deng Mu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As he expected, Liu Bei really had the magnanimity of a hero. An ordinary monarch, after learning that he had been deceived by his ministers, Even if you know that your subordinates have good intentions, you will still feel grudge.
Lao Liu is different.
As long as you are doing his best, even if you know that you have lied to him, not only will you not mind, but you will also be grateful.
"It's just a small effort, why should you say thank you?"
"Now that you know the truth, Mu will say goodbye."
Deng Mu bowed to Liu Bei, turned around and left.
Looking at Deng Mu's back, Liu Bei's face showed an overjoyed expression.
He was still regretting that Deng Mu was Liu Biao's subordinate, and he had no chance of such a genius.
What's dramatic is that Deng Mu turned out to be a subordinate of Liu Biao, but a country idler, clothed in white clothes.
Isn't this a God-given opportunity to recruit Deng Mu under his command and help him achieve his great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty?
How can I not be happy!
I am simply ecstatic
"Ziyu stays!"
Liu Bei shouted, took three steps and two steps at a time, and stopped Deng Mu again.
Deng Mu had already guessed Old Liu's intention, but he pretended to be at a loss on his face.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, and solemnly bowed his head. , bowed to Deng Mu to the end:
"As a descendant of the Liu family, Bei wants to revive the Han Dynasty and save the common people!"
"I only regret that my talents are mediocre, I only have the intention to help the country, but I have no ability to clarify the world. In fact, I have intention but no power."
"Today, bless me, Yan Han, so that Bei is lucky enough to meet a noble person like you, Zi Yu, and finally let Bei see a glimmer of hope."
"I am brave enough to ask Ziyu to come out and help me. I will serve you as my teacher for the rest of my life!"
"If you can't resist, the people will be helpless!"
"Liu Bei, please!"
Finally!
Liu Bei finally said what was in his heart.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked shocked.
Everyone knew that Liu Bei wanted to make the young man in front of him his mastermind!
Please It is unprecedented in history for a man who is less than twenty years old to be the mastermind of a prince.
But no one has any objection.
Even Guan Yu, who has always been proud and arrogant, did not say a word and did not object..
Ever since they met at Huai River, all of them have been convinced by Deng Mu's various miraculous plans.
Guan Yu, the sworn brother, knows best that his brother wants to help the Han Dynasty, and what he needs most is a counselor.
And this person in front of him Deng Mu is the one who can assist his brother to realize his ideals
"this…"
"Thanks to you, you are valued by me, and you are flattered by me."
"It's just that Mu is still young, has mediocre academic skills, and is white, so he might not be able to live up to your expectations."
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Deng Mu was waiting for Liu Bei to take the initiative to ask him to come out.
Old Liu must have assisted him, but he still had to go through the formalities and the necessary refusals.
When Liu Bei saw his refusal, he immediately became furious. He frowned and begged again on the spot.
He even bent his legs and almost knelt down to beg.
Deng Mu was surprised. He didn't expect that old Corporal Liu Lixian would kneel to him in such a state.
Let the Lord beg again and again, then It is to establish one's own status.
But if the lord really kneels down for oneself, then one does not understand the way of being a minister.
"How can you perform such a great gift?"
Deng Mu took the lead and supported Liu Bei.
Then he solemnly adjusted his clothes and bowed to Liu Bei:
"Your Majesty is the master of benevolence and righteousness, and Mu has respected your Majesty for a long time."
"Since the emperor thinks highly of me, Deng Mu, I should dedicate myself to the emperor to support the great cause of the Han Dynasty and die!"
