Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 67 Jia Xu was puzzled. Why did the top strategist and the prime minister make an appointment to meet in Tianlao?

at the same time.

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu left Cao's mansion in the same carriage.

At this moment, Jia Xu was still feeling aggrieved about Cao Cao's abnormal behavior at the end.

"Zhongde, do you feel that the Prime Minister has been a little strange these days?"

"Strange? What's strange about that?"

Cheng Yu replied casually, "I don't feel anything."

Jia Xu explained, "Since Xinye, almost every time the Prime Minister asked for advice, when he found that no one answered, he would not give up and specifically call my name to ask again. But in the past two days, the Prime Minister seems to have suddenly stopped asking. Don't you think it's strange?"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately became anxious and said with a glare,
"You are so good, Jia Wenhe! I thought you really found some big problem to discuss with me, but after all this time, you are still showing off to me, right? What's wrong? The Prime Minister hasn't asked you for advice for a few days, and you feel ignored?"

"..."

After seeing this, Jia Xu was speechless.

He hurriedly explained and expressed his own judgment.

"No, it's been a long time, Brother Zhongde, why are you still prejudiced against me? I mean, maybe the Prime Minister also knows the true identity of the man behind the Tiger Maniac."

"That's why you don't pay much attention to me right now."

"Ah, this..."

Cheng Yu, who was angry just now, calmed down after listening to it.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense, but he also felt puzzled. He couldn't help but open his mouth and asked Jia Xu again.

"It seems to make some sense. But even so, why did the Prime Minister take such an attitude today? Wouldn't it be better for him to just ask the master behind the scenes?"

Jia Xu also shook his head after hearing this.

It's puzzling.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves at the end of the road ahead.

"what?"

"At this hour, the Prime Minister and that Tiger-crazy General hurried out, what are they doing?"

Cheng Yu opened the car curtain.

Looking at Cao Cao and the other man riding fast horses and flying away, his eyes were full of curiosity.

The speaker has no intention.

But when Jia Xu, who had just been puzzled, heard these words, he instantly became alert.

He opened his mouth immediately and started urging again.

"Quick! Zhongde, what are you still standing there for? Let's catch up!"

"Follow? Why should we follow the Prime Minister when he goes out? If the Prime Minister finds out, he will definitely be angry." Cheng Yu was puzzled.

Jia Xu asked back, "Didn't you just ask why the Prime Minister didn't ask the master behind the scenes? Where do you think the Prime Minister went?"

"You mean...he went with General Xu..."

Cheng Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Is this true? Are you sure? If we chase after him and get discovered..."

But when he spoke at the end, his expression unconsciously showed some trepidation.

“Not sure, but it’s very likely.”

"If Brother Zhongde is worried about the Prime Minister's punishment, just wait here for a while. I'm going to chase after him and take a look anyway."

Seeing this, Jia Xu laughed and didn't try to persuade him any further.

He just rode his horse and followed the direction Cao Cao and his men left.

What does curiosity kill the cat mean?

This is.

Cheng Yu was also a top strategist.

It is natural that they cannot be unaware of the interests involved.

But now he looked at Jia Xu's back as he rode away on his horse.

I still feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Hesitated for a while.

Only then did he grit his teeth, make up his mind, and follow the direction Jia Xu left.

……

Half an hour later.

The corner across the street from Xiangyang Prison.

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu hid in the shadows.

Cheng Yu looked at the situation in front of him and asked in a low voice.

"How about it, are you sure, this is it?"

"Of course, I followed the Prime Minister's carriage all the way here, how could it be false?"

"If you don't believe me, just look for yourself. General Huchi and the Prime Minister's carriages are all parked there."

Jia Xu said this, pointing to the corner in front.

Cheng Yu tilted his head.

Sure enough, I saw the Dayuan horse and the Jueying horse parked there side by side.

He immediately believed most of what Jia Xu said. However, he still had doubts in his heart. He looked at the furnishings here and said uncertainly, "If I am not mistaken, this should be the entrance to Xiangyang Prison."

"What kind of top strategist would meet with the Prime Minister here? Isn't this taste and style... a little too unique?"

"You ask me, I'll ask who goes."

Jia Xu shrugged helplessly. After a moment, he thought of something and boldly suggested, "How about... we follow in and take a look?"

Cheng Yu was shocked. "What? Are you crazy? If you do this, the Prime Minister will definitely find out..."

"Just find out! Now, I just want to know the truth!"

Jia Xu's expression was serious but firm.

What he said was not a joke, but came from the heart.

During this period, he helped the strategist behind Xu Chu and inexplicably took too many blames.

Even if it would incur the Prime Minister's wrath, he had to act sensibly this time.

After saying this.

He walked out from the corner, stood up and rushed inside.

Cheng Yu became anxious when he saw this.

He immediately reached out and grabbed him again.

"what?"

"Why are you still stopping me?"

"Brother Zhongde, you are not curious, but I am curious about the truth. Why do you have to stop me?"

Jia Xu was puzzled.

Cheng Yu pointed to the street ahead and said, "Wait a minute, Wenhe, don't be anxious. Take another look. Things don't seem to be what you thought. There's another person coming!"

"Is there anyone else?"

Jia Xu stopped and heard the sound of horse hooves again. It was also a surprise, so he hid back in the corner.

Lean your head out and look.

Sure enough, at the end of the road, we saw another group of people hurrying over.

Leading the group was a burly military commander and a middle-aged man with a big belly.

Both of them were sweating profusely.

Especially the latter,
Amidst his anxiety, there was also a bit of impatience.

Although they are about a hundred steps apart.

However, both Jia Xu and the other man have pretty good eyesight.

So this time I recognized the origins of the two people at a glance.

"This is... General Zhang Wenyuan, and the Prime Minister's newly appointed Admiral of the Navy, Cai Mao?"

"It's late at night, and they're not sleeping yet. Why are they rushing to Xiangyang Prison?"

Cheng Yu was stunned.

After reading this, Jia Xu was also confused.

I had no choice but to speak and urge him.

"Let's go and take a closer look to see what's going on..."

As they spoke, the two of them quietly moved forward.

Soon, the conversation between Cai Mao and Zhang Liao fell into the ears of Jia Xu and the others.

……

"It's so late, and I'm really ashamed to bother you, Mr. Cai, to come to the prison. These friends are really important to me, and I hope you won't mind."

Zhang Liao dragged Cai Mao all the way to the gate of Tianlao.

Look at this guy with a big belly. He is sweating profusely after walking a few steps.

I felt both contempt and helplessness in my heart.

After all, I need help from others today.

He even took the initiative to clasp his fists and apologize to Cai Mao.

After hearing this, Cai Mao's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. This is the rule that Cai set himself. We are friends if we serve in the same court. This little favor doesn't matter.

I just hope that General Zhang will take into consideration the hard work Cai has put in today and say a few good words to the Prime Minister when he has time in the future. That would be the truth. "

When he finished speaking, there was a hint of expectation in his words.

"If there is an opportunity, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Liao agreed vaguely.

I was only thinking about how to rescue Lu Lingqi and others this time.

But unexpectedly, they arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Prison.

Cai Mao's body suddenly stopped.

He didn't even move one more step.
