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

Chapter 70: A talented man and a beautiful woman, and age is not a barrier for ambition. Does Cai Mao want to break off the engagement?

"How is it, did you see it clearly?"

"What happened in there?"

"I can't see it, Zhongde, please lift it up a little higher for me..."

"Yes, yes... further up..."

"Oh no, someone is coming out!"

……

Xiangyang Prison, outside the high walls.

Jia Xu was standing on Cheng Yu's back, struggling to cling to the top of the wall.

I want to see clearly what is happening inside.

However, these two are not all-rounders like Su Chen, but real literati.

He lives a life of luxury on weekdays.

This was obviously the first time he had done something like this.

So it has only been a short while since I climbed up the wall.

After that, Fang Chengyu couldn't hold on any longer.

My feet stumbled.

Both of them fell to the ground.

"Ouch..."

"my waist!"

The two screamed one after another.

Jia Xu held his waist and turned to look at Cheng Yu with a resentful expression.

"Zhongde, what are you doing? You're going to break my waist..."

Cheng Yu was even more angry after hearing this. "What am I doing? I should be asking you what you are doing. Why are you moving for no reason?"

Jia Xu explained, "Didn't I tell you that people are coming out, so I have to hide."

"The people are coming out?"

Cheng Yu was stunned and wanted to ask again.

Jia Xu was excited.

"Yes, hurry up, hide, the person is coming out! The mastermind behind the scenes is finally showing up!"

As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Yu back to the corner.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu naturally became excited.

I didn't care about the pain in my body the whole time.

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

It won’t take long.

Sure enough, Cao Cao, Xu Chu and others were seen walking out of the Sky Prison.

"Prime Minister Cao... General Huchi... Grand Admiral of the Jingzhou Navy, and a general who smothers bandits... Wow, what level of prisoners are these? It takes so many people to pick them up. Could it be that the emperor is going on a secret visit?"

Cheng Yu was waiting behind, and although he had expected it, he was still more and more surprised the more he watched.

When he spoke again, he asked cautiously.

"Stop joking. The emperor is in Xuchang, and this is Xiangyang. That's why I said that this must be the top strategist!"

Jia Xu shook his head after listening to this, and added his own opinion after thinking of something, "Maybe this person wants to do the opposite. If we hadn't followed him all the way today, who would have thought that Prime Minister Cao and this top strategist would meet here."

Cheng Yu said, "That's right, but I don't know how old this strategist is."

"Needless to say? With such a deep and sinister mind, he must be an old fox who has practiced for a thousand years!"

Jia Xu spoke with certainty, but when he thought about how he had been blamed for no reason before, he gritted his teeth.

This time his eyes widened, and he had made up his mind to engrave the newcomer's appearance firmly in his mind.

It will be easier to cause trouble to him in the future.

But after really seeing the crowd walking out afterwards.

The expression on his face became complicated.

There was a long silence.

The reason was simple, because among the entourage, apart from a few exquisitely dressed women, there was only one man.

And he looks to be in his early twenties.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit the image of the old fox that Jia Xu had just inferred.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Jia Xu fell silent.

He was silent.

Cheng Yu, who was originally full of expectations, was completely uneasy.

He opened his mouth repeatedly and asked Jia Xu who was beside him again.

"Where's the old fox?"

"I worked so hard all night, and this is all I got? Jia Wenhe, you don't want to tell me that the mastermind behind this is the pale-faced scholar standing in the middle of the crowd, do you?"

"Well, it's not impossible, isn't it."

"Look at the whole process, whether it's the Prime Minister or that Tiger-crazy General, they were all very respectful to him."

Jia Xu tried to explain, but the more he spoke, the more empty his words became. He himself felt that he had no confidence.

Next to him, Cheng Yu's performance was even more decisive.

He just waved his hand and sneered.

"Come on, you... this guy looks younger than Zhou Gongjin of Dongwu. He is only a few years old. Do you mean that his strategy surpasses that of Wolong and completely beats us?"

"Can you believe what you said?"

"I……"

After hearing this, Jia Xu wanted to say something else.

Cheng Yu in front of him didn't want to listen any more.

"What do you mean by 'I'? The truth is that I shouldn't have accompanied you in this mess."

"Ouch, my waist...it's really going to break..."

He hugged her waist, cursing as he walked towards his mansion.

I feel extremely unlucky to have gained nothing tonight.

Jia Xu naturally felt very depressed.

On the way back, I was wondering about the identity of the white-robed young man who was welcomed out of the sky prison by Cao Cao.

He thought a lot.

However, even someone as smart as Jia Wenhe still didn't think too much about the counselor's intention.

Because the young man in white robe is really too young!

"Maybe I'm really overthinking it? I've been worrying too much these days, so I'm starting to become a little suspicious?"

"A talented Qilin, a talented Qilin..."

"Is the person behind the Tiger Maniac you?"

Jia Wenhe thought about it and let out a long sigh.

……

Half an hour later.

Cai Mao's residence.

"He is just a small strategist. I heard he doesn't hold any high position. What's so great about him?"

"Prime Minister Cao, this is really true."

"My husband, you are the governor of Jingzhou and the commander-in-chief of the navy, and this time, the banquet is held in Cai's mansion."

"It's fine if we don't let you get close. But why don't you let me get close, husband?"

Madam Cai Mao looked at Cao Cao and Su Chen, who were toasting each other under the flickering candlelight in the courtyard.

Then look at Cao Cao's personal soldiers who were stationed on guard in all directions, constantly driving away the servants of Cai's mansion, making sure that not even a moth could get close.

The words are sad.

Speaking up for Cai Mao.

And said so to her.

There was no sign of dissatisfaction on Cai Mao's face. Instead, when he came to his senses, he started scolding Mrs. Cai.

"The opinions of women and children!"

"What do you know? The more this is the case, the more it proves that Mr. Su is extraordinary!"

Madam Cai said, "But I heard that... Mr. Su is just a commoner..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Mao smiled coldly and added explanation.

“It’s called waiting for a good price.”

"Before Zhuge Liang came out of the mountains, he lived in seclusion in Wolonggang, and people called him a country boy. How is he now? He went to Jiangdong alone and debated with many scholars. Who in the world doesn't know the name of Wolong? Even if Liu Da'er died, he will definitely be a guest of honor for Sun Quan in the future..."

"My husband, do you mean that Mr. Su can be compared with Zhuge Liang?"

Mrs. Cai was really shocked.

I didn't expect that my husband's opinion of Su Chen would be so high.

"Do you still remember the rumor that 'Tiger Maniac defeats Crouching Dragon' that was widely circulated in the outside world?" Cai Mao lowered his head, lowered his voice, and reminded him.

Mrs. Cai is also very smart.

Hearing him say this, it's very direct and clear.

There was a hint of disbelief on his face as he asked again.

"hiss!--"

"Mr. Su looks so young, but he actually has such extraordinary talent?"

Seeing this, Cai Mao couldn't help but sigh.

"You have ambitions but not your youth."

"When the outside world spread the rumor that 'better than dragon and phoenix, there is also Qilin', I didn't believe it. Now I see that it is true that there is no false reputation."

"If you look at it this way, then aren't we benefiting from it? Yueying can become his disciple, and our Cai family..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cai also became excited and fell into fantasy.

There was a gleam in Cai Mao's eyes, but this time he was not satisfied with it.

He then asked Mrs. Cai another question.

"That's right, but that's not enough. Madam, do you still remember the engagement between Yueying and Zhuge Wulong?"
