The snow fell all day, and after night, it gradually became a little lighter, but it still did not stop.

Governor's Office, government office lobby.

When it was almost midnight, the lobby was still brightly lit.

Ouyang Jing sat alone in the hall, closing his eyes and meditating, digesting the inheritance left by Lu Bu.

Suddenly, Lu Lingqi's voice came from outside the hall: "My father, the messenger is here to visit."

Ouyang Jing opened his eyes suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, Liu Bei sent an envoy to come!"

Although Liu Bei was a hero, he had a strong chivalrous habit of being generous and heroic, and respecting benevolence and righteousness in his temperament.

Ouyang Jing captured Liu Bei's second and third brother's four children. How could Liu Bei remain indifferent? He would definitely send someone to negotiate.

"Please come in." Ouyang Jing said in a deep voice in a sitting position.

Soon, the footsteps sounded, and Lu Lingqi took the lead in leading the way. A mysterious man wearing a black hooded cloak and a black scarf masked, hunched over and followed her and walked into the lobby.

After bringing this mysterious messenger in, Lu Lingqi nodded to Ouyang Jing, then turned around and closed the door, held the door with her backhand, held the shield and held the sword, and guarded the door alone outside the hall.

Ouyang Jing stared at the mysterious messenger who bowed his head and even his eyes were hidden in the shadows, and said, "There are only you and me here, and my daughter is guarding it outside the door. The messenger does not need to worry about leaking the news. Why not remove the disguise and let this general see the messenger's true face?"

The mysterious messenger did not speak, but slowly raised his head, straightened his back, raised his hand and took off his hood, and pulled off his masked black scarf.

The moment he saw his true face clearly, even with Ouyang Jing's concentration, he couldn't help but tremble, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he blurted out in disbelief: "Liu... Xuande!"

That’s right, this mysterious messenger is Liu Bei himself!

"Wen Hou is fine?"

Liu Bei smiled gently, with gentle and divine eyes looking directly at Ouyang Jing, without any hostility in his eyes. It seemed that the "Lu Bu" in front of him was not an enemy who had been kind to repay his grudges, seized his foundation, and made him hate him to the core, but a close friend who had not seen him for a long time and had a close relationship.

Ouyang Jing took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, calmed his heart, and suddenly smiled, pointed at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, you are so brave, you dare to sneak into my Xia Pi City alone! Aren't you afraid of coming and going?"

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled: "Don't be afraid. Because Marquis Wen will not kill me."

Ouyang Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Bei with a cold light flashing in his eyes, like a tiger before he snatched his food: "Just, why wouldn't I kill you?"

"Since I am insignificant, I can't escape the siege of Xia Pi even if I die. And because I can't die."

Liu Bei's voice was as gentle as his smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, "If I die, the clouds will grow, Yide will avenge me, and even if I surrender to Cao Cao, I will do whatever I want. Once the clouds grow, Yide will be under Cao Cao's command, and your death will not be far away, Mr. Wen."

Ouyang Jing said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

Liu Bei smiled unchanged: "I am just stating a fact."

Ouyang Jing's voice became colder and colder: "However, I can take you down, use you as the standard, and threaten Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

Liu Bei said in a gentle voice: "With the vast force of Wen Hou, you can easily capture Liu Bei. But... if I ask for death, I think Wen Hou can't stop him."

Ouyang Jing pursed his lips tightly and looked at Liu Bei with sharp eyes.

Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, his smile was full of heart, and his warm and energetic eyes looked at Ouyang Jing without any fear.

After a while of confrontation, Ouyang Jing suddenly laughed, and the cold murderous intent disappeared. His smile was full of enthusiasm, as if he had seen his good brother who had been separated for many years: "Come on, Brother Xuande, please take your seat!"

He got up and left the table, came to Liu Bei's side, grabbed Liu Bei's arm, and enthusiastically invited him to sit down, and even poured him a cup of hot ginger tea with his own hands: "It's snowing heavily, the weather is cold, Xuande rushed to the city at midnight, and he came into the city with wind and snow. I think it's cold. Please have a cup of ginger tea to warm up your body."

Liu Bei did not resist, took the teacup safely, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen. I am so cold that I am so cold. This cup of ginger tea is coming at the right time."

After a big sip of ginger tea, he held the teacup in both hands and smiled: "I wonder if my four nephews and nieces are still safe?"

Ouyang Jing returned to his seat and smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are very good. Xuande, your nephews and nieces are my nephews and nieces? They called me uncle, how could I treat them badly? Just..."

"Just what?"

Ouyang Jing's face was bitter: "It's just that the city is short of food and grass, and it's hard to support it. My dignified Marquis Wen can only eat one meal a day, and each meal is only two taels of pancakes and a salted fish. Even if I am willing to treat my four nephews and nieces well, I really can't produce good food. I can only feel wronged that they will suffer with me."

After saying that, he sighed deeply, with a heavy expression, and felt ashamed, and it seemed that he was blaming himself for not being able to entertain his "nephew and niece".

Seeing this, Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly, and he was shocked: "Lu Bu has become really smart! In the past, Lu Bu only knew how to be straightforward, so how could he be so hypocritical? He pretended to be the same as the real one! What happened to him? Can breakthroughs in strength affect his wisdom? But... Throughout history, aren't it always the stronger the more stupid they are?"

In Liu Bei's view, the strong man does not need to use his brain. When encountering anything, he can crush him with strength and rely on his strength to act rampant. Over time, the strong man who is used to using his hands but not his brain will naturally become stupider. For example, Xiang Yu, the old enemy of his ancestor, is a clear example.

And while being able to maintain the good habit of using your brain diligently while always using your wisdom, there are very few people who have passed the past and present. And Lu Bu obviously should not be such a person.

Although he was confused and shocked, Liu Bei remained silent on his face, still had a gentle smile and a gentle look: "I never thought that Wen Hou was so difficult. Since this is the case, why not let his nephews and nieces go back with me to save some food for Wen Hou?"

Ouyang Jing said with a stern face, "How can that be done? Nephews and nieces finally came to me as guests, but it was difficult to entertain me for three or two months. How could it be reasonable? Well, but my food is really difficult...

"How about this, Xuande, how about you supporting me for 20,000 or 30,000 stones of corn? In this way, my four nephews and nieces don't have to go hungry with me."

"Twenty or thirty thousand stones of corn?" Liu Bei was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "Wen Hou, you are really making things difficult for me. Don't say that I don't have that much extra grain, even if I have it, I can't transport it to the city!"

"Xuande, think of a solution, Yu Liang will definitely have it."

Ouyang Jing smiled and said, "Everyone knows that your brother, Mrs. Mi, is rich in Xuzhou, and will not be able to take out only 20,000 or 30,000 stones of corn? As for transporting grain into the city, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way."
