Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking of this, Li Yi's hands subconsciously exerted a little force, which also awakened Liu Bei, who was a little distracted. Liu Bei subconsciously pulled his hand out, and suddenly felt that this was inappropriate. Seeing that Tao Qian's face was really not very good, he was obviously dissatisfied with him. reaction.

Liu Bei sighed secretly, took a step back, folded his hands in front of him, slowly bent his back, lowered his head, and said in as calm a tone as possible, word by word, very slowly: "Bei, see you Hou."

Chapter 463 I Have a Strong General

"Prepare, pay homage to Marquis Xiang."

Obviously there are only a few words, but after Liu Bei said it, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted. Both physically and mentally, he was very tired, and even his mind was empty, which made Liu Bei feel like he was exhausted. A sense of unreality.

Considering Liu Bei's current situation, bowing his head to others is not a rare thing, nor is it an embarrassing thing, but standing in front of him today is the person Liu Bei least wants to bow his head, but has to bow his head.

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he kept his bowing posture unchanged, and Li Yi didn't return the salute, just looked down at Liu Bei slightly.

After about two or three breaths, Guan Yu couldn't stand it any longer. He only thought that Li Yi wanted to humiliate Liu Bei, so he stepped forward to support Liu Bei's arm, but Guan Yu just took a step forward and stood on Li Yi's shoulders. Behind Yi, Dian Wei, who had been watching every move of Liu Bei and others, also took a step forward, and Dian Wei was faster than Guan Yu, standing directly between Li Yi and Guan Yu, his eyes were fixed on Guan Yu, his back was slightly bent , with both hands clenching fists and staggering back and forth, like defense, and like a pounce, just wait for Guan Yu to move again, Dian Wei will go up to fight with him without hesitation.

Before, Li Yi asked his subordinates to guard against Guan and Zhang, but Liu Bei also told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be careful. After all, Li Yi's actions were unpredictable, and he might not kill people in public. Speaking of which, they were much more nervous than Dian Wei and others.

So, when Guan Yu saw Dian Wei rushing up, he was startled, he had no time to think, and subconsciously stood in front of Liu Bei. However, unlike Dian Wei, Guan Yu's posture was completely defensive, but even so , the moment the two confronted each other was also extremely frightening, making Li Yi almost retreat.

If it is said that Dian Wei's action before was a spark, then Guan Yu's reaction was the lead. Seeing this, Zhang Fei also stood up with a loud shout, standing side by side with Guan Yu in front of Liu Bei. At the same time, Li Yi's Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Gan Ning also stood in the front, but Wei Yan's position was relatively outside, and following his line of sight, it was easy to find that Wei Yan's goal was not to close Zhang, but to run directly to Liu Bei.

This sudden turn of events immediately made the people present tense up, and those who were approaching backed away one after another, with surprise and panic in their eyes.

Before, many people found that Li Yi and Liu Bei's people were both tall and handsome, and they were definitely good players, but that was only superficial senses. Now that the two sides are facing each other, they both have the idea of ​​killing each other in their hearts. In this way, the momentum is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Especially those generals in Xuzhou, their faces were even paler. As generals, they thought that if they fought against anyone in the confrontation, they would probably be overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, and if nothing unexpected happened, the result would be the result of the head falling to the ground up.

Liu Bei didn't expect such a change, he took a half step back subconsciously, although he was very nervous, he still observed Li Yi's appearance immediately, wanting to confirm whether Li Yi really wanted to take the opportunity to keep him.

But Li Yi also didn't expect such a situation to happen. He really didn't intend to humiliate Liu Bei just now, but after seeing Liu Bei, Li Yi felt too much emotion, and seeing Liu Bei bow his head to him, his thoughts ran a little far.

As for Guan Yu's actions, Li Yi also saw clearly that Guan Yu had no intention of attacking him. Even if it was a confrontation, Guan Yu mostly protected Liu Bei, but Zhang Fei, this guy was eager to try, and seemed to want to capture the thief and the king. .

Suddenly, Li Yi felt a tremor in his wrist and looked sideways, but it was Tao Qian who was extremely uncomfortable being sandwiched between these two groups of people, his lips were trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

At this time, Li Yi noticed Liu Bei's suspicious gaze, and his thoughts turned, and he didn't respond. Instead, he laughed, pulled Tao Qian, and dragged him to his side. Arriving in front of Tao Qian, at first glance it looked like Gan Ning was protecting Tao Qian, then he pulled Dian Wei again and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao, this person is evil, that is Dian Wei, he It is the reincarnation of evil, very brave, in today's world, when it comes to fighting with foot and fist, no one is his opponent, what does Mr. Tao think?"

Following Li Yi's voice, the tense atmosphere just now was greatly reduced, and Tao Qian was also a prince after all. Although he was overwhelmed by the momentum of the two groups of people just now, but only Li Yi's two words, he was already Almost came to my senses.

Liu Bei also came back to his senses. He didn't speak, but sighed secretly, signaling Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to return to their original positions.

Dian Wei glanced at Guan Yu, felt that there was no problem, then turned to Tao Qian and said, "Dian Wei, I have met Tao Shijun."

Tao Qian took a deep breath to calm his mind, slowly squeezed out a smile, and said: "General Dian Wei is indeed mighty, ha ha, but last time you came to Xuzhou in a hurry, I didn't see you, even It's a pity, I will give you ten altars of fine wine today, it's like treating you to a banquet that day, how about it?"

Dian Wei's eyes lit up immediately, and he glanced at Li Yi again. Seeing Li Yi nod his head, he clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you Tao Shijun!"

Li Yi smiled, then pointed at Huang Zhong and said, "This is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, he is a famous general in Jingzhou. In the middle, anyone who comes here will have to be hated!"

As he said that, Li Yi also glanced at Guan Yu. Although he didn't say anything clearly, it meant that you couldn't do it. Guan Yu was so angry that his face turned purple and his fists were tightly clenched. The action almost caused a conflict. At this time, there must be no more mistakes, and he was secretly horrified by the aura of the people around Li Yi. Although he was not afraid of anyone alone, but Li Yi had many people, and if he really fought, Liu Bei would be hanged. So he could only snort unwillingly, pretending that he didn't know about Li Yi's provocation.

Huang Zhong could see that the two sides should not be able to fight, so he restrained his momentum, and solemnly said to Tao Qian, "Huang Zhong, I have met Tao Shijun."

Tao Qian knew that Li Yi was introducing him to the generals around him, thereby resolving the conflict and embarrassment just now, and at the same time taking care of his face. Otherwise, if something really happened here today, people would not laugh at him the most. Li Yi and Liu Bei can only be Tao Qian, after all, he is the landlord here.

Tao Qian had a little more affection for Li Yi, so he followed Li Yi's words and looked at Huang Zhong, and then his eyes lit up. Although Dian Wei looked brave, but Dian Wei's temperament was a bit too wild, and his long Being ugly doesn't suit Tao Qian's taste, but Huang Zhong is different, with a bit of elegance and calm in his majesty, he looks like a famous general at first glance, which Tao Qian likes very much.

Tao Qian thought for a while with a smile, and said, "The general is good at archery, how many bows can he draw?"

Huang Zhong immediately replied: "You can open three stone bows with both arms!"

Tao Qian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He felt that Huang Zhong might be bragging, but seeing Huang Zhong's normal expression, he answered without hesitation, and it didn't seem like bragging.

So Tao Qian said with a smile: "There are a few precious bows hidden in my mansion, and no one has been able to open them. As long as General Huang can open them, I will give them all to General Huang!"

Before Huang Zhong could thank him, Li Yi couldn't help laughing. Seeing this, Tao Qian wondered, "Why are you laughing, Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi replied: "I'm worried that I won't be able to keep even one of the strong bows in Shijun's mansion this time."

The look of surprise on Tao Qian's face was even stronger. He looked at Li Yi and then at Huang Zhong. He basically confirmed that he was not bragging, but Tao Qian was not a stingy person. If General Huang can pull away all those strong attacks and prevent them from getting dusty in the corner, the old man will be too happy."

Amid Huang Zhong's thanks, Li Yi pulled Gan Ning to his side, and asked Tao Qian mysteriously, "Does your lord know how this warrior defected to me?"

"This"

Tao Qian blinked his eyes, this kind of thing is completely impossible to guess, but he has a good impression of Gan Ning, because it was Gan Ning who blocked him just now, and he feels very safe and reliable.

Li Yi looked at other Xuzhou officials around and said, "Maybe you guessed it?"

At this time, everyone also confirmed that the two groups of Li Yi and Liu Bei would not do anything, so they moved closer again.

When Li Yi introduced Dian Wei and Huang Zhong before, everyone was discussing in low voices, and they were very interested in Li Yi's fierce generals, but now Li Yi suddenly sold out, but it made everyone a little confused, could it be What is the background of that person?

Seeing that everyone's appetites were satisfied, Li Yi explained: "A few months ago, a golden bird came into my dream and wanted to settle in Jingzhou. In order to let me agree, the bird promised to recommend a A warrior named Gan Ning will protect me in the future. Afterwards, I told the Jingzhou officials about this matter. Everyone was dubious, even myself. However, some time ago there was a rebellion in Jingnan, so I sent troops to conquer , Liu Du, the leader of the thieves, abandoned the city and fled. I couldn't find him, but I didn't want someone to bring him to me and bluntly said that he wanted to join me, and that person was Gan Ning, Gan Xingba!"

"There is such a thing!"

Tao Qian was very surprised, and the expressions of the others were similar to Tao Qian's. They thought that Gan Ning was from a big family, but they didn't want Li Yi to just move a "magic bird" out.

At this time, Zhao Yu in the crowd suddenly said softly: "I know about this. I drank with Zizhong a few months ago, and Zizhong talked to me about the dream of the golden eagle in Xianghou. I scolded him for talking nonsense, so Zizhong bet with me, I didn't think it was true!"

When everyone heard the words, they exclaimed again. Although Li Yi said that he had a nose and eyes before, everyone was half-believed, but now with Zhao Yu's evidence from the side, the credibility is very high.

Wang Lang and Zhao Yu stood close, and asked in a low voice, "What did you bet with Zizhong?"

The muscles at the corners of Zhao Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and instead of answering Wang Lang, he asked instead: "Then tell me first, what exactly does the Marquis Xiang see in your face?"

Wang Lang smiled, and also didn't answer. Although he was very happy with what Li Yi said before, it was more of a thought, but now he believed most of it, and he was full of expectations for the future of their old Wang family.

Regardless of the whispers of the two, after listening to Li Yi's explanation, Tao Qian looked at Gan Ning in surprise, and subconsciously asked: "General Gan, this is serious, you have seen the magic bird ?”

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said solemnly: "When Gan Ning defected to the lord, although there were indeed golden eagles in the sky leading the way, Gan Ning defected for the sake of the lord, not for the golden eagle bird. As long as the lord gives orders, Gan Ning can use it." With a long knife in his hand, he will kill all the people who can be killed for the lord!"

Gan Ning's words were a bit crazy. Li Yi said that the divine bird brought him, but Gan Ning only recognized Li Yi, not the divine bird at all. This was really arrogant in ancient times. However, Gan Ning Ning's madness stemmed from his loyalty to Li Yi, so no matter whether it was Tao Qian or other civil and military officials, they all cast approving glances at Gan Ning, and at the same time they were full of envy for Li Yi.

Tao Qian also praised "Yes", then looked at Li Yi with a smile and said, "The Marquis Xiang has such a strong general on the list, why can't he expel Cao Mengde?"

Li Yi replied: "Xingba's words are more straightforward, which made the envoy laugh, but I really have someone here who can take on the important task of breaking Cao. Cough, Wenchang, what are you doing so far? Why don't you come and meet Tao envoy soon?" Jun!"

Wei Yan hurried back, cupped his hands at Tao Qian, and said, "I've seen Mr. Tao."

"The general is exempt."

Tao Qian smiled, looking enthusiastic as before, but in fact, compared to the previous three, Tao Qian didn't like Wei Yan so much when he saw Wei Yan.

Because although the three of them didn't say they were upright, they were very imposing, like green pines and green cypresses, standing there with the arrogance of warriors, but Tao Qian always felt that the guy in front of him was a bit flattering, and It's still the one that shows up.

Li Yi gave Wei Yan an angry look. Of course he knew why Wei Yan was so obsequious, because Dian Wei and the others were all guarding Li Yi just now, but it turned out that Wei Yan had sharp eyes and was about to run straight to Liu Bei. Should we say that Wei Yan is smart?Knowing how to encircle Wei and save Zhao, or is he eager for quick success, and even Li Yi doesn't care about the credit?
