Chapter 44 Not like a prince
(Thanks to book friend Cement Forest ACE for 10 points for the rating ticket.)
Mi Zhu looked at Yuan Shang and Deng Chang with a pale face. The anger and grievance in his heart could be described in four words.
I snatched our army's horses, and just a few days later? I dared to appear in front of our army with a swagger?
Mi Zhu felt very upset. You should appear, but you were so shameless that he pretended to be crazy with me! He looked at me as if he didn't know me, and even his face turned red. What did these two people make their faces?
"You...you..." Thinking of this, Mi Zhu stuttered and couldn't even speak. His eyes, which were usually soft and kind, were filled with blood, and were covered with fierce light. He looked around and began to look around.
Yuan Shang's heart suddenly became tight.
This guy looked around, what were he looking for?
Shouldn't he look for a knife? Is he trying to stab us to death?
Compared to Yuan Shang, Deng Zhuanbu seemed even more guilty and secretly glanced back and forth, his legs hidden in his long gown shaking constantly. After a gust of cold wind, Deng Zhuanbu's crotch obviously felt a little wet.
Liu Bei was shocked, but his face was completely different. He just glanced back and forth at Mi Zhu and Yuan Shang, thinking and thinking, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Lord..." After a long silence, Mi Zhu turned his mind, turned his head, and opened his mouth to give some advice to Liu Bei.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei raised his hand and blocked Mi Zhu's head.
"Enough." Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at Mi Zhu without any trace. His eyes were meaningful, and he forced Mi Zhu back to say that he would say the next words.
Seeing this, Mi Zhu suddenly felt a moment of tranquility. He knew that Liu Bei did not want him to point it out. He then lowered his head and said nothing, as if nothing had happened just now and had never said anything.
Seeing Mi Zhu stop talking, Liu Bei smiled again and turned to Yuan Shang and said, "My nephew, Zi Zhong has been preparing for military equipment recently. He is too tired and dizzy. He is a little confused when speaking and doing things. He has lost his courtesy for a while. Don't be surprised by his nephew."
Although it is not clear whether Liu Bei is clear about the situation, but looking at the situation, Comrade Liu is obviously pushing this matter down. Yuan Shang felt a little relieved, and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "What did Duke Xuande say? Mi is engaged in elegance, kindness, and etiquette in the world. I have heard that back then, even Cao Cao treated him differently, wanting to express his as the prefect of Ying County, but Mi Cheng thought about Duke Xuande and decided not to follow. Such loyalty is really amazing. Yuan Shang really admired him from the bottom of his heart."
Mi Zhu had a calm face and did not speak. He just silently responded to Yuan Shang's compliment.
Pooh!
However, Liu Bei was still in a state of grace. He laughed and waved his hand, saying, "The nephew is so good at speaking, but it is too much praise from this. It really makes our subordinates feel ashamed of his goodness. The nephew, the nephew, has been arranged in the office in Runan County. The nephew has been working hard all the way. Let's take the left and right trustees to rest first, and order people to arrange banquets in the prefect's mansion. The nephew should go and rest for two hours first. At the end of the Shen period, the prefect's mansion will be prepared to welcome guests from all over the place, such as the nephew, and other distinguished guests from afar... Please enter the city!"
Yuan Shang smiled and bowed: "I feel guilty for being so troubled by Duke Xuande, but I am so disrespectful... It's just these military horses under my command?" Liu Bei raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He laughed and said: "My nephew reminds you that if you don't say it, you will almost forget it. Yide! Lead Zhang He and Gao Lan and the two generals and their troops to rest in the camp you prepared, give them food and fodder, and remember to settle down!"
Zhang Fei smiled heartily and said, "Brother, don't worry, Zhang, thank you for your hard work, the second general of Gao, please follow me to the south city for another time."
Zhang He was silent for a while after hearing this, and said to Gao Lan: "You can go with him. I will lead my personal soldiers to accompany the young master into the city."
Gao Lan knew that Zhang He was cautious, so he nodded, greeted the soldiers and followed Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang He with appreciation, nodded and said, "General Zhang is meticulous and really lives up to the title of Hebei's famous general. Compared with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were only brave in martial arts back then, he is much stronger."
Zhang He smiled calmly when he heard this and said, "I'm sorry."
Liu Bei shook his sleeves and said generously: "My nephew, please enter the city!"
"Duke Xuande also asked to enter the city." In this way, the crowd immediately entered the Runan city with a smile.
When he arrived at the suspension bridge, Deng Chang took advantage of the inattention of others and quietly flashed behind Yuan Shang, trembling and whispering: "Young Master, things are not good! That Mi Zhu seems to have recognized us!"
Yuan Shang gently stepped on Deng Chang without any trace, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Don't be careless, you recognize me, Duke Xuande said that he was tired and dizzy."
Deng Chang almost cried when he heard this: "Three Young Master, where is your usual cleverness? Liu Bei said that it was obviously considering our face and did not want both sides to break up and make a fuss. You can believe that!"
Yuan Shang glared at him fiercely and gritted his teeth and said, "You are smart! Since they are all pretending to be stupid, why are you still more serious? You don't want to give you face. You have to use a shit basin to help you feel comfortable?"
Deng Chang blinked and suddenly said, "What he said...is right...but I just feel uneasy, what should I do?"
Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, pulled Deng Chang over and whispered: "I will teach you a way. From now on, you must forget the fact that you once snatched Mi Zhu's horses. You must always think in your heart that all the horses in our army were brought from Hebei and had nothing to do with Liu Bei. You think about it repeatedly and repeatedly, thinking hard, and after thinking for a long time, things will come true. This is called self-hypnosis."
Deng Chang couldn't help but speak out: "I know the New Year, the New Year, and the New Year are blowing. I really don't know that there is such a person who says so big in the world?"
Yuan Shang nodded confidently: "The world is so big, and there are so many strange things. When did this young master deceive you?"
Deng Chang didn't say anything when he heard this, but just stared at Yuan Shang with a very dissatisfied look.
"Okay, I admit that I do lie to you often, but this time I definitely didn't. Believe me, if you talk about it a thousand times in your heart, this matter will naturally come true." Deng Chang nodded when he heard this, then lowered his head and muttered silently: "The horses are mine, the horses are mine, and the horses are mine..."
Yuan Shang: "......"
When they were young, everyone entered the city. Liu Bei bowed to Yuan Shang and smiled and said, "Nephew, there is something important in the mansion. Let's go to the cooking for now. Zhuo Gongyou leads you to the inn to rest first. After the sun sets, the banquet will be stopped. I will send someone to invite the nephew."
Yuan Shang smiled: "If you have time, Xuan Degong is worried, let's say goodbye for the time being."
"My nephew is resting well, and he is like being at home, without being too restricted."
After the two of them had a good greeting for a while, Yuan Shang and others followed Sun Gan to the inn, leaving Liu Bei and others to smile and watch until they disappeared into the bluestone road in the distance.
As soon as Yuan Shangfang walked away, he saw Mi Zhu's face darkening and bowed and said, "Lord, why don't I point out the behavior of that villain!"
Guan Yu, who was standing beside him, had no idea what was going on, and he was puzzled and said strangely: "Zi Zhong, what kind of holiday do you have with Yuan Shang?"
Mi Zhu's face turned red and she sighed, "This matter is a long story."
Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shang's disappearing back silently, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said calmly: "There are so great in the world, and there are many strange things. Zi Zhong was determined by this son. Although he was unwilling to say it, he also had a lot of experience... However, at this moment, remember not to tear the face of Yuan Jun General because of some trivial matters, otherwise, the person who suffers in the end will be the one who suffers losses."
Mi Zhu felt unwilling to accept this and said, "Then will we swallow this bitter medicine in vain?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. When Lu Bu seized Xuzhou, I could still interact with him with his ally, not to mention that what I lost today was just a horse? And... the more ridiculous this boy was, the more peace of mind I felt."
Mi Zhu was stunned when he heard this and said strangely: "What's the lord's heart?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Zi Zhong, what is the most important thing about a hero?"
Mi Zhu thought about it carefully and said surely: "Full mind."
"Not bad." Liu Bei nodded slowly: "Then what do you think about Yuan Shang, a kid who is a thief?"
Mi Zhu couldn't help but snorted and said, "What kind of mind can a horse thief have? How can he be worthy of being called a hero? He is simply a rogue..."
Speaking of this, Mi Zhu was stunned suddenly, as if he had realized the meaning of Liu Bei's words.
Liu Bei smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I haven't seen Yuan Shao's son again, Bei was still afraid of him, but when he learned about this, I completely let go of my heart... Today, Yuan Shao, Hebei and Cao Cao, the two heroes in the world, are the leaders of the world. Cao Cao is a master of the world, both literary and military talents, and he is the leader of the princes. There is no need to say this! However, there are many clans in Hebei and many scholars, and they also have the power to compete with him. How can he do this? Yuan Shao is keen on plans and is nepotism, and cannot use all talents, which leads to a lack of talent under his command. Only in this battle of Guandu can Cao Cao have a great advantage. At the beginning, I was worried that although Yuan Shao himself was not worth much, if his descendants had great talents, he was overlord, commanding the people of Hebei and competing for the world, I was afraid that the Han Dynasty would have a few more variables. But today I saw Yuan Shang... Haha, it was really ridiculous to steal a horse and a child. I was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with half of Yuan Shao."
Guan Yu seemed to understand eight or nine minutes at this moment, touched his long beard and said, "Brother's meaning, it turns out that it is here... Well, my brother has just seen Yuan Shang. Although he is a noble family and is polite on the surface, he always seeks an opportunity to whisper to the chief clerk behind him, and has lost his identity. Moreover, among the words of this son, although he has complete etiquette on the surface, there are two or three sentences in the ten sentences, which are all vulgar and unwritten. He doesn't look like a king."
