Chapter 64 I am not a traitor to three masters
Not long after, Lü Bu was taken inside.
The aroma of meat filled the air, making him swallow hard.
He hadn't eaten for a long time due to the long journey and the trip he took to be brought back.
My stomach started growling, which sounded particularly jarring at that moment.
"Untie him!" Li Zhao flipped the meat skewer in his hand over.
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, but was ultimately stopped by Liu Bei's gaze.
Reluctantly, he got up and personally untied the ropes binding Lü Bu.
Watching the group gathered together, Li Zhao calmly grilled the meat skewers.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious!
This relaxed state was something he never dared to dream of.
"Here you go..." Li Zhao handed over the meat skewers in his hand.
Under everyone's gaze, Lü Bu suddenly seemed somewhat uneasy.
He slowly shook his head, just about to plead for the release of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao outside.
Come in like us, at least let them regain their freedom first!
But Li Zhao interrupted him, saying, "Eat something first, we can talk about it later!"
"Thank you so much!"
Lu Bu took the skewers of meat and finished them in a few bites.
There wasn't even time to fully savor its exquisite flavor.
soon.
At Li Zhao's signal, a cup of tea was brought over, and new skewers of meat were grilled.
that's it.
The arrogant and domineering Lu Bu, who gallops across the battlefield, is now like a child, quietly eating delicious meat skewers.
He doesn't have to worry about pressure, and no one humiliates him!
The surroundings remained completely quiet...
Zhang Fei and the others remained vigilant, after all, Lü Bu was a formidable opponent.
If he suddenly attacks Li Zhao, they must react instantly.
"I...I am not a traitor who has served three masters!" After an unknown amount of time, Lü Bu broke the silence first.
His first words were actually a defense of these accusations.
Zhang Fei sneered, "Then how do you explain killing your adoptive father Ding Yuan, and then killing your adoptive father Dong Zhuo?"
"People like us who come from the border are never taken seriously!"
"Why...why should I be looked down upon just because I was born in a different place?"
"If we hadn't chosen Dong Zhuo, I and all my men would be dead!"
"In that situation, was there a better option?" Lu Bu immediately asked.
But when he said these words, he clearly revealed a lack of confidence.
It's like being contradicted too many times makes one less willing to speak up!
He was met with a cold snort; clearly, no one believed him.
"You're absolutely right about something!" Li Zhao handed over the freshly grilled meat skewers.
"It's just that we were born in different places. We're all human beings, so why should we be looked down upon and excluded?"
"In the past, you had no choice in your circumstances; now I'm giving you a chance to choose!"
"But let me make it clear from the beginning, if you show any signs of wrongdoing or remain incorrigible, you will not have another chance."
"Either take your people and leave here immediately, or choose to stay."
"I can't guarantee wealth, fame, or a bright future. The only thing I can absolutely give you is this: here, everyone will be treated as a human being!"
boom!
These words struck Lü Bu like a thunderclap.
He had never heard a promise like Li Zhao's before.
Perhaps in other people's eyes, this is just a pointless statement.
But for Lü Bu, this was more tempting than any other condition!
He took a deep breath, gripped the remaining skewer of meat in his hand, and bowed with utmost respect, saying, "This humble general... will cherish this opportunity immensely!"
then.
He walked out with the meat skewers he was carrying, then turned back to look at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao nodded slightly and quickly walked out.
Not long after.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao appeared, and without any unnecessary words, they both respectfully knelt before Li Zhao...
……
After completely choosing to submit to Li Zhao, Lü Bu, along with Gao Shun and others, could also demonstrate the utmost sincerity.
Under their personal leadership, the Qingzhou army entered Puyang and took over all the cities under their control.
As agreed beforehand, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both left there.
Lu Bu, on the other hand, led his men back and stayed by Li Zhao's side.
To show his brotherly affection, Liu Bei specially escorted them over.
The three brothers stood on the city wall, watching the sky darken, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Brother, do you think our lord might be biased this time?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Are you referring to the matter of Lü Bu?"
"Yes! This person absolutely cannot be trusted. If he stays by the lord's side and something happens to him, we won't even have time to intervene!"
"Our lord has his own considerations, and besides, Lü Bu's current behavior shows no problems whatsoever!"
Liu Bei smiled slightly, changing the subject, and looked at his two brothers, saying, "But you two..."
"Cao Cao and Lü Bu have been locked in a stalemate here for more than a year, and they may soon make a comeback."
"We must be extremely careful, and absolutely not be careless, and we must not lose this hard-won achievement!"
"Brother, don't worry, I'm here!" Guan Yu bowed respectfully.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, and his long beard danced in the wind.
This was the first time the three brothers had parted ways, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But things quickly returned to normal. What Li Zhao brought them was not only everything they now had, but also immense hope.
This is... what attracts them the most!
……
In the military camp.
When Lü Bu left, he specifically imprisoned Chen Gong here.
Actually.
He didn't intend to do anything to the other person, just to restrict their freedom.
Then use facts to prove that what Chen Gong accused him of was not true at all.
I am always right!
Now that they meet again, Lü Bu can't help but feel a little sentimental.
At this moment, Chen Gong sat calmly in the tent, unaware of what was happening outside.
They simply believed that Lü Bu had returned defeated.
In such a short time, he couldn't possibly defeat Li Zhao.
"Are you preparing to send me on my way?" Chen Gong asked coldly.
Who knew?
Lu Buxi didn't say a word, but instead bowed very respectfully.
He instinctively wanted to help, but then he immediately realized what was happening.
They believed that Lü Bu had lost the battle and immediately realized they were wrong.
That's why I reacted this way and decided to keep up the act for now.
"General, there's no need for that..."
"Sir, I'm afraid you will have to come with me to Linzi. I have been very ignorant in the past, and I hope you will forgive me!"
"From now on, you may continue to teach me, and I must also do my best for my lord."
"In any case, from now on, none of our men will have to suffer from cold and hunger anymore, and they will be able to eat their fill every day."
"This seems to align with our initial goals; at least we've achieved half of them!"
"Is that right, sir?"
Chen Gong: "?"
