251 Threat
Chen Deng immediately became vigilant. He felt that Chu Tianshu and the others came this time because they were not kind, and it was not good for their father and son.

Why do you think so?Because Chen Deng and his son are indeed guilty of thieves.

Chu Tianshu guessed it right, their father and son had the idea of ​​surrendering to Cao Cao, they thought that Tao Qian could not defend Xuzhou City, and their Chen family had something to do with the rich and powerful families here, if they really follow Tao Qian to defend to the death, Once the time waits for the city to break, they will definitely be liquidated.

And at this time, if you choose to inform Cao Cao, you will be a hero at that time.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Tao Qian defended and repelled Cao Cao, they would not suffer any loss. Cao Cao would definitely not tell the matter, and their Chen family would still be the local snake in this area.

This is the principle of not putting two eggs in one basket. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can you sit back and relax.

Today, when Chen Gui saw Zhang Fei leaving with Cao Jun's armor, he felt abnormal.

If he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't care too much about it, but Chen Gui is an old fox, and he felt that there must be a reason for this matter. After returning, he discussed it with his son Chen Dengyi.

Chen Deng also felt that this matter was not simple, but they couldn't tell the specific reason why, so they were going to tell Cao Jun the news.

Chen Deng was about to go out to disclose information to Cao Jun, but Chu Tianshu and the others came to call, which naturally made Chen Deng feel guilty.

"My father is in the house, what do you want to do with him?" Chen Deng asked cautiously.

Because Chu Tianshu didn't give him a good face at all, this made Chen Deng feel that this was a bad signal.

"Go, take us to see your father." Chu Tianshu said lightly, his tone was not as cold as before.

"I still have something to do. You can go on your own. My father is in the house." Chen Deng still wanted to find a way to reveal the news to Cao Jun.

"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry? We came to see you father and son, but we have something important to discuss." Chu Tianshu said.

Chen Deng felt that if he continued to talk nonsense, it would probably arouse Chu Tianshu's suspicion, so he had to take them to the room to meet Chen Gui.

"Master Chen, come with us and discuss the defense of Xuzhou City." Chu Tianshu said with a smile.

Chen Gui looked at Chen Deng, meaning to ask what happened. Chen Deng shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"Guys, I'm already old, so I still won't participate in this matter." Chen Gui said with a smile, he also vaguely guessed that this matter was not a good one, so he chose to refuse.

Chu Tianshu said: "Master Chen, you are being humble. You are in your prime now, how can you say you are old? And this matter must be attended by you, Master Chen. Please, Master Chen."

Seeing Chu Tianshu like this, Chen Gui was startled, and said, "What do you want to do? Could it be that if the old man doesn't go, can you force it?"

"You are right, Yide, Master Chen refuses to go, so you go behind your back." Chu Tianshu said to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei stared at Chen Gui with wide eyes, and asked, "Master Chen, do you want me to carry you over there, or how do you walk over there?"

Seeing Zhang Fei's ferocious appearance, Chen Gui was afraid, and asked him to carry it, it would be better to walk by himself.

"You guys, if you're like this, I'll tell Master Tao." Chen Gui said angrily.

"It doesn't matter, let's go, Mr. Chen, can't we really let Yide carry you?" Chu Tianshu asked with a sneer.

Knowing that today's situation is not forgiving, Chen Deng said to his father, "Father, let's go, I will help you."

In this way, Chu Tianshu and the others swaggered and brought Chen Deng and his son to Liu Bei's residence.

"Didn't you say you want to discuss something? Why did you bring us here? What do you mean?" Chen Gui said loudly, trembling because of excitement.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Chen, we want you to rest here for the night, we will discuss business tomorrow." Chu Tianshu said with a smile.

After saying that, Chu Tianshu nodded towards Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun immediately said to the men he brought over: "You are good at keeping an eye on these two adults. If anything goes wrong, I will take it upon you."

"Yes! General." More than a dozen soldiers responded in unison.

Chen Deng and his son were not stupid. They knew that they were under house arrest. Although they were full of anger, they didn't dare to explode. Otherwise, these people might really chop up their father and son and feed them to the dogs.

Waiting for Chu Tianshu and the others to go out, Chen Deng looked at Chen Gui and asked, "Father, what should I do?"

Chen Gui sighed and said, "They may have suspected our father and son, so they took out the cloth and burned it."

Chen Deng took out the cloth from his body, which naturally recorded the information revealed to Cao Jun. Chen Deng sighed, threw the cloth on the charcoal fire, and it burned.

After the evidence was burned, Chen Gui said, "Let's rest here, father and son, and don't think about other things."

After Chu Tianshu and the others arrived in another room, Chu Tianshu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you must make your people strictly guard against Chen Deng and his son, and never let them go out at night."

Zhao Yun said: "Don't worry, Xiaoyao, I have already given instructions on this matter."

Liu Bei looked at Chu Tianshu and said worriedly, "Xiaoyao, have we gone too far in this matter?"

Chu Tianshu said: "Mr. Xuande, this matter is not excessive. Be careful in everything."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "That's right, but Chen Deng and his son are well-known families here, so I'm afraid there will be some trouble afterwards."

Chu Tianshu laughed, and said: "Mr. Xuande, you are too worried. In this troubled world, the so-called famous families cannot afford to have soldiers on their hands. Besides, we are not soldiers and horses of Xuzhou City. When Cao Jun arrives If we retreat, we will leave here, no matter how powerful Chen Deng and his son are, they will not be able to do anything to us."

Zhang Fei said: "That's right, brother, you don't have to worry. If Chen Deng and his son dare to play tricks, press Yide and they will break their necks."

"Okay, let's discuss tomorrow's action now. I think we will set off early tomorrow morning. By the way, have you found out where Cao Jun's grain and grass camp is?" Chu Tianshu asked.

"I have found out this clearly. Cao Jun's food and grass camp is in the rear of Cao Jun, dozens of miles away from Xuzhou City." Liu Bei said.

Nima, it's tens of miles away, and if you ride a horse, it may take more than an hour.

"In that case, let's set off at dawn tomorrow morning. After arriving at Cao Jun's food and grass camp, Cao Jun should have just had breakfast, and they will be caught off guard when the time comes," Chu Tianshu said.
