The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

But there was no sign of Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers.

When the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Shu panicked after he looked at all the more than 1000 people and didn't see Ma Chao and Ma Dai.

He caught a person and questioned him directly.

"Did you see Ma Chao and General Ma Dai?"

"No."

"I do not have either."

"I saw it before. I was in prison, but I didn't seem to come out."

Xu Shu asked the people present, and finally asked someone, who seemed to have seen Ma Chao and Ma Dai.

As soon as he asked, he knew that Ma Chao and Ma Dai had never been released.

Xu Shu became anxious this time.

He came for Ma Chao and Ma Dai.

Now that Liu Zheng didn't release Ma Chao and Ma Dai, wouldn't his work be in vain?

This made Xu Shu unwilling, and of course he didn't intend to let it go.

He immediately rushed over angrily, planning to ask Liu Zheng's men to question him.

At the beginning, he asked Wenpin, and he agreed after he asked Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers about the money.

It just so happens that Wenpin is here.

Seeing Wenpin, Xu Shu approached Xu Shu immediately, and asked hurriedly when he opened his mouth.

"Wenpin, no, there are not many people!"

"No? Why not?"??

Chapter 1000 Two hundred 21 The insidious Liu Zheng

Wenpin asked the question knowingly, pretending to be stupid, and replied to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu became anxious this time.

Seeing Wenpin pretending to be stupid like this, he immediately questioned Wenpin.

"No, it's just not right, there are two people missing!"

Xu Shu almost said the names of Ma Chao and Ma Dai directly.

Wenpin continued to play dumb.

"Huh? There are still two people missing? No, you count it. It is as many people as our Majesty promised you before."

"You count, one thousand and one hundred and forty people. Our Majesty will waive the extra money for you. You can see if the number is right."

Wenpin pretended to be calm.

But Xu Shu has searched for it many times, but he has never seen Brother Ma Chao, so he doesn't have the heart to talk to Wenpin at this moment.

"There are really two people missing. I saw those two people in prison. Didn't you say that everyone in the prison is counted?"

"Huh? Is there any?"

"Yes, let's go, I'll go to the prison and have a look again!"

Xu Shu was in a hurry. The purpose of his coming here was to bring back Brother Ma Chao. Now that Brother Ma Chao couldn't be seen, it was for nothing.

Besides, money was spent.

Isn't this the loss of the wife and the loss of the army?

If Xu Shu went back like this, would Liu Bei forgive him?

Therefore, Xu Shu was in a hurry. Even if he forced his way in, he had to go to the prison again to get Brother Ma Chao back.

But Wenpin's expression changed immediately.

"Bold!"

Wenpin yelled loudly, which shocked Xu Shu too.

"You... you... don't you want to play tricks?"

Xu Shu calmed down after being frightened by Wenpin's words, knowing that he couldn't do anything wrong at this time.

After all, they are not in their own territory. If Liu Zheng is really angered, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave here.

So Xu Shu could only calm down, and wanted to deal with Wenpin to see if he could bring Brother Ma Chao back.

"Shoulder? Do we need to play with you?"

"Then why, don't let General Ma Chao go!"

Seeing Wenpin, Xu Shu still had the heart to chat with him, instead of turning his face directly, Xu Shu could only be patient and communicate with Wenpin.

"Ma Chao? When did I promise you that Ma Chao would be released too?"

"You...you are not cheating. When I was in that prison, I clearly saw Brother Ma Chao present, and you promised me that Brother Ma Chao was also included."

"Really? Did I tell you?"

Wenpin started to play dumb at this time.

Xu Shu looked at Wenpin and pretended to be stupid. He could bear it, but now he couldn't bear it anymore.

"You...you, shameless!"

Seeing that Xu Shu was enraged, Wenpin finally took the bait, and immediately pretended to be angry at this time.

"Bold, you are a mere emissary, dare to insult this general, come here, arrest this man for me, and put him in the prison!"

Without further ado, Wenpin ordered people to go up and arrest Xu Shu.

Xu Shu never thought that Liu Zheng's people would be such rascals.

This talent didn't even say a few words, and directly arrested people.

Some of the attendants who were guarding Xu Shu came up to protect Xu Shu at this moment, but how could they be Wenpin's opponents with just such a few people.

Wenpin has thousands of troops here, guarding the palace.

After the order was issued, Xu Shu was immediately arrested.

After Xu Shu was arrested, he wanted to yell a few words at first, but after seeing that Wenpin didn't seem to be joking with him, he realized that even if he yelled a few words, it was useless.

He simply didn't speak, waiting to be caught by these people and taken to prison.

Those guards still wanted to come forward to argue with Wenpin, but Wenpin's words made them shrink back.

"Bold, it's difficult for you to want to be caught in prison by me like Xu Shu?"

"And you, Xu Shu finally redeemed you, do you want to go in again?"

Wenpin said something to those who had just come out of the prison.

Those who originally wanted to stand up for Xu Shu and find Wenpin theory, all of a sudden became discouraged.

They don't want to go to prison and live that kind of dark life.

The few attendants who followed Xu Shu didn't dare to act rashly after seeing this kind of scene.

After all, they were just envoys, and the war with Liu Zheng had just ended, so Liu Zheng's temper could not be determined. If Liu Zheng was really offended, whether they could bring back these prisoners was a matter of two opinions.

Now that Liu Zheng can let them go, they should be content.

Although the Ma Chao brothers were not rescued, it was not easy to bring back these more than 1000 soldiers.

Then they could only take the more than 1000 people back to Liu Bei's territory.

As for Xu Shu's matter, let's talk to Liu Zheng again. They believe that Liu Zheng will not really kill Xu Shu.

At this point, these people took the prisoners back first, but left Xu Shu behind.

Of course, this is exactly what Liu Zheng arranged early in the morning.

After Wenpin finished these things, he came to find Liu Zheng for a reply.

"Your Majesty, I have already done what you told me."

"Oh? Then Xu Shu was locked up by you for a reason?"

As soon as Liu Zheng heard Wenpin's words, he immediately became interested.

"Well, according to your Majesty's instructions, Xu Shu can't be allowed to leave, so I deliberately set a trap for him to provoke me, and I pretended to arrest him and put him in prison."

At the moment, Wenpin will tell Liu Zheng what happened in the square.

After Liu Zheng heard it, he immediately laughed.

"Okay, very good, this guy Xu Shu doesn't know how to praise, I kindly invited him to join me, but he refused me."

Liu Zheng said secretly.

"Your Majesty, is this person really so talented that His Majesty can value him so much?"

"I don't value him too much, but he does have some talents."

"The reason why we want to keep him is because we can't let him stay by Liu Bei's side. In this case, it is equivalent to giving Liu Bei a capable assistant. If we fight Liu Bei in the future, won't we cause trouble for ourselves?"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Liu Zheng explained to Wenpin.

Wenpin was a bit puzzled at first, but now he fully understands why Liu Zheng wanted to keep Xu Shu.

When he was on the battlefield in Jizhou, Wenpin also knew Xu Shu. Because of this, he also knew Xu Shu a little bit. Now that he understands Liu Zheng's good intentions, he just thinks Liu Zheng's move is really good.

Although it is said that the two armies do not fight each other, this is not absolute.

Besides, Liu Zheng didn't intend to kill Xu Shu, he just detained Xu Shu.

"Haha, let Xu Shu and Ma Chao brothers be imprisoned together for a few years, and then release them after we kill Liu Bei and the others."?

Chapter 1000 Two hundred 22 The Enraged Liu Bei

After half a month.

Luoyang.

The captives released by Liu Zheng finally returned to Luoyang.

In fact, Liu Bei had already received the news a few days ago.

It's just that he still doesn't know that Xu Shu didn't return with the large army this time.

Because the news sent a few days ago was sent by Xu Shu.Or did he say that Liu Zheng had agreed to the deal, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers would be back soon.

This news actually made Liu Bei somewhat excited in a short time.

Thinking that he could finally bring Brother Ma Chao back, he finally had an explanation for Ma Teng.

But wait until these captives who came back from Jianye City arrive in Luoyang.

Liu Bei was dumbfounded.

Not only did Brother Ma Chao not come back.

Even Xu Shu, the envoy he sent over, was detained by Liu Zheng.

"Impossible, what's going on???"

After Liu Bei heard the news reported by the people below, his face was full of anger.

With an unbelievable roar on his face.

To the soldier who delivered the order, he questioned the soul directly.

The soldier who delivered the order was also trembling at this moment.

When asked by Liu Bei, he could only bite the bullet and answer.

"My lord, that Liu Zheng is too cunning and unreasonable."

Say it.
