Chapter 2854 One Word(1/2)
"You're here?"
"I am coming."
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I'm here."
"What are you here to do?"
"kill."
『Who should I kill?
『Kill you.』后
『…』
Well, the above conversations with Gu family did not appear.
Because Zhang Liao did not charge the manuscript fee according to the business.
When Zhang Liao caught up with Lu Bu, he saw desolate eyes. Qiu Ci's city was like a sea of corpses and blood.
Lu Bu lives in Qiuci City, with the corpse Chen Heng inside and outside the city, as if he was sitting alone on a mountain of corpses, his eyes were like prison.
Dried blood, stuck to all the stones and sand, creates a huge horror scene.
The broken corpse was unscrupulously placed. The wound on the corpse was like a cracked mouth.
The human head and the Buddha head are stacked together, the human head muscles are twisted and the face is blue and purple, while the Buddha head still has a look of pity or a sarcastic smile.
Death lingers in the entire Qiuci city, and it seems that you can hear the lonely ghosts whistling in the sky from time to time.
『I have seen the Protector…』
Zhang Liao stepped forward and bowed to see him.
Lu Bu didn't speak or even move, just like a sculpture that had become rigid, or it was a sculpture itself, such as a statue similar to the god of war.
Lu Bu was looking at Zhang Liao, the dust on Zhang Liao's face, the sweat marks stained on his face, the wind-frost armor hanging on his body, and his hands that were still as stable as a rock.
"The Cavalry asked you to come?" Lu Bu's voice was steady, just like the still stable Fang Tian Painting Stem, containing a sharp breath.
Zhang Liao replied: "I requested what I want to come by myself."
Lu Bu snorted coldly, and pierced directly on his eardrum like a thin needle, which immediately suffocated the scene.
Lu Bu didn't believe it.
Zhang Liao looked up at Lu Bu, but did not give in at all.
Zhang Liao knew Lu Bu very well.
In fact, Lu Bu is also very familiar with it. He is like the water on the Gobi Desert, which is not deep, and does not know how to hide it. He is directly exposed to the world.
Lu Bu was originally very concerned about his subordinates and soldiers, just like the source of the river on the Gobi Desert is the clear and transparent snow melting in the mountains. At first, he could laugh with the soldiers, scold them, eat food that is difficult to swallow, and taste the wind and sand in the Gobi Desert together.
In addition, Lu Bu has a bravery beyond ordinary people, a keen intuition on the battlefield, and an almost ghost-like command ability, and can lead the soldiers to victory again and again in the fight with the Hu people, so this naturally attracted soldiers and Zhang Liao.
Similarly, these characteristics also made Lu Bu himself successful.
But the problem is that all this is not all about Lu Bu.
Just like the originally clear river water, when it passed through the Gobi Desert and walked towards the Central Plains, it inevitably became turbid.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Liao. His tone was still stable, but he had a murderous aura, "Are you here to replace me?"
Zhang Liao was still standing upright like a pine tree, "I'm here to save you."
『Save me?』 Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, 『I've heard this many times!』
Zhang Liao frowned slightly, "Brother Fengxian, listen to me. This time it is true..."
Lu Bu's smile suddenly stopped and interrupted Zhang Liao, "That's right! Every time he says this, he always says it's true!"
Zhang Liao took a breath, but fell silent. Zhang Liao knew that Lu Bu was suspicious again.
Zhang Liao glanced past Lu Bu and stared at Wei Xu not far behind Lu Bu.
Wei Xu looked serious and nervous.
Zhang Liao's eyes moved inch by inch on Wei Xu's face, and then fixed on Wei Xu's eyes. Wei Xu tried hard to compete with Zhang Liao's eyes, but it was obvious that Wei Xu had a ghost in his heart. He couldn't last long, and was forced back by Zhang Liao's eyes, and then turned to look elsewhere.
After Wei Xu turned his gaze away, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned his gaze back, he saw Zhang Liao turning his head contemptuously, facing Lu Bu, and no longer looking at him...
"Qi..." Wei Xu noticed the murderous intent from Zhang Liao's eyes.
It was as strong as if it was about to overflow with murderous intent.
This made Wei Xu feel cold.
Zhang Liao wants to kill him?
Why?
No, why?!
Wei Xu gritted his teeth, stared at Zhang Liao, and then stared at Lu Bu. He hoped that Lu Bu would be furious in the next moment, kill Zhang Liao, and eliminate this potential danger...
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu without any retreat.
Zhang Liao knew that this was Lu Bu’s fault.
In the early days, Lu Bu did not have this problem. In the early days, Lu Bu was like what others said, because Lu Bu said himself liked it, so he felt that the same was true for others.
This is indeed the case when I was in the North.
When the enemy comes, it is the enemy. The enemy stands on the opposite side with swords and guns.
Until Lu Bu arrived in the Central Plains, Heluo, and Luoyang...
Then Lu Bu suddenly realized that the enemy was not only standing opposite him, but also standing behind him. Because of Lu Bu's strength and weak intelligence, he particularly hated others to bully him with brainlessness. Every time he was crushed by intelligence, Lu Bu licked his wounds like a lone wolf, his heart was filled with strong sense of frustration, arrogance and inferiority complex. Under such a strong pain of failure, Lu Bu would find some excuses to comfort himself, and take his anger on others.
Zhang Liao knew very well that he even knew that even if he tried his best to describe at this time, when Lu Bu felt suspicious, it would turn into a quibble, which would eventually make Lu Bu even more suspicious, and at any time it was possible to pass on the anger and responsibility of the failure that had accumulated for many days onto Zhang Liao, or even the cavalry Fei Qian. So the more he said at this time, it would not only not have any effect, but it would make things worse.
I can only let Lu Bu send out his hidden anger first...
Sure enough, when Lu Bu saw that Zhang Liao stopped talking, he stood up with his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire, and his scorching gaze was staring at Zhang Liao's face.
Lu Bu suddenly burst into laughter, like a rock rolling down a cliff, roaring loudly, "Hahaha, it's so far! Zhang Wenyuan! In your eyes, what is it?! How true and false are there between you, and how much friendship is there?!"
As Lu Bu said, the Fangtian Painting Halberd in his hand was a heavy poke on the floor tiles. The dull sound of gold and iron buzzed and shaking around. The rosy light lit up on the crescent moon on the Fangtian Painting Halberd and flashed by, like a hungry wolf showing its fangs.
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu without any timid or fear. He stepped on the thick black and red residual blood on the ground, looked at the broken limbs around him, the various objects that were destroyed and damaged, and also looked at Wei Xu not far behind Lu Bu, raised his head and said, "Is this what Mr. Wen wants?"
"Hmm?!" Lu Bu's face became more and more ferocious. He heard contempt in Zhang Liao's words. Perhaps it was his contempt for his force, or perhaps it was his contempt for him. His hand tightly grasped Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were squirming, as if he was about to rise into the air in the next moment...
Wei Xu seemed to be stimulated by Zhang Liao's eyes just now, or was affected by Lu Bu's murderous intent at this moment. He couldn't help but interrupt and tease Lu Bu, shouting: "Master! Zhang Wenyuan has no kindness! He must be coming to seize the power of the lord, and he is coming to harm the lord! Kill him! Lord, kill him!"
Lu Bu's murderous intent suddenly stopped.
Zhang Liao looked unmoved, but he smiled disdainfully in his heart.
Sure enough, Wei Xu was still so shallow, wise, arrogant and stupid.
Only people use dogs, but then do dogs use dogs?
Before, Zhang Liao deliberately provoked Wei Xu just to stimulate Wei Xu, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good. Zhang Liao originally thought that he would have to work harder...
In fact, Zhang Liao only determined his strategy based on his previous impression of Wei Xu, so naturally he did not consider the changes in the Western Regions during this period. When Wei Xu was under Lu Bu, although he lived with Lu Bu as he was now, Wei Xu has been the second-in-command in Xihai City for so long, and for a long time, Lu Bu shook his hands and ignored foreign affairs.
Therefore, Wei Xu of course developed a more domineering appearance. After taking charge of the second-in-command for a long time, he thought he was the family. Now Wei Xu couldn't hold it back for a while, but it was a mess.
Lu Bu's eyes moved, but instead calmed down, ignored Wei Xu's clamor behind him, and said to Zhang Liao, "Why did you think he came?"
"Brother Fengxian, why I came is not up to me, but you. I believe Brother Fengxian knows what General Wei did in Xihai City. I was originally in Nanzheng, Hanzhong, commanded military and political affairs. I had no interest in the Western Regions. I shouldn't have been here, but I heard a lot of things, a lot of things about General Wei..." Zhang Liao glanced at Wei Xu, then looked at Lu Bu and said, "I don't know why such a big change happened in the Western Regions, but I believe Brother Fengxian will know... In short, General Wei is no longer the Wei Duwei of the past. He can't control himself. He is not helping Brother Fengxian, but causing trouble to Brother Fengxian...
『Fart!』 Before Lu Bu could make a statement, Wei Xu jumped up first, with crazy expressions in his eyes, and cursed, 『Zhang Wenyuan! Don’t swear! Everything I do is for the lord! It’s all for the lord! Don’t want to provoke the relationship between me and my lord! You have ulterior motives and treacherous...』
Before Wei Xu finished speaking, Zhang Liao nodded, "Yes, your General Wei did everything right... But if everything is really good and everything is right, how could it fall to this point today? Whose fault is this? Could it be that I am in Hanzhong and can still instruct you General Wei to do something wrong in Xihai City?! Could it be that I am in Nanzheng and can still make General Wei short of granaries and reduce food and grass?!"
"Uh..." Wei Xu suddenly got stuck for a moment, then he didn't know what to say for a while, and then he said, "I didn't! I didn't do anything wrong! I didn't..."
『Okay!』 Lu Bu raised his hand, 『Shut up!』
"...Zu Ling." Wei Xu closed his mouth, and hatred flowed out from his eyes. He stared at Zhang Liao, and of course he also passed by Lu Bu's figure.
Zhang Liao just pretended that he didn't see it.
Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu for a long time back then, so he knew that if Lu Bu was angry and confronted Lu Bu head-on, no matter whether it was reasoning or facts, Lu Bu would not listen. It would be extremely difficult to defeat Lu Bu with his fists, so it would be better to follow Lu Bu or someone else's words and then attribute it to the fallacy, which would be more effective than a positive argument.
What's more, Zhang Liao didn't believe that Lu Bu didn't know about the problem in Xihai City. Because Zhang Liao had sent out the last batch of food and grass, and although the food and grass did not have any words, it was enough to explain some things. If Wei Xu did a good job in Xihai City and everything was good, then how could he fall into the dilemma of food and grass after going to war? You know, when Li Ru formulated the Western Regions warehousing plan, he was proportional to the amount needed to support the army in three years of combat. Now, let alone three years, three months are enough.
So where did the food and grass go before?
Of course, it wouldn't be stolen by Zhang Liao, and it wouldn't be able to get rid of Zhang Liao.
At the same time, if Wei Xu repeatedly emphasized that it was not what he did, then who would have done it? The more Wei Xu proved his own innocence, the problem was naturally the bigger Lu Bu would...
"Brother Fengxian," Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu, then slowly took out a treasure bag from his arms, signaling the guard on Lu Bu's side, "This thing was brought by the cavalry when I left Chang'an..."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, took the tip handed over by the guard, looked at Zhang Liao, and then looked up at him. After a long silence, he released the other hand from Fang Tian Huaji, then untied the seal of the tip, and pulled out a piece of paper that had already been creased and looked a bit worn, "This is..."
In a trance, Lu Bu seemed to have returned to Luoyang.
To be continued...
