When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 481 Monkey Version of the Magical Plan (Four Thousand)
"Xiaoyuan, please tell me in detail what happened."

Liu Chong tried his best to suppress his agitated heart, but his voice still revealed anxiety and irritability.

Luo Jun had no intention of hiding anything, so he told the story one by one. "Yesterday, someone claimed to be Chen Yuanlong's messenger. He handed the letter to the guard and left in a hurry, leaving a message saying, 'This letter is of great importance and concerns Yuan Gonglu. I hope you will pay attention to it.'"

"After the guards handed it over to Zhang Zhubu, Zhang Zhubu did not take it seriously and just regarded it as the ravings of a madman."

"The envoy from Yuan Gonglu came to visit just now and told us the reason for this trip."

"They actually wanted to borrow tens of thousands of dan of grain. We just thought it was ridiculous, so we rejected Yuan Shu's envoy."

"After sending off the envoy Yuan Gonglu, Zhang Zhubu hurriedly told me that the envoy Chen Yuanlong had left a letter."

Liu Chong felt that there was nothing wrong with the way Luo Jun handled the matter of Yuan Shu borrowing grain.

If it were him, he would also flatly refuse. This was the attitude he and Luo Jun had agreed on early on.

Borrowing the road is fine, but borrowing food? No way!
In the past, Liu Chong wouldn't even ask any questions about this kind of thing.

As a prince, he had no right to interfere in government affairs.

If Dong Zhuo had not caused chaos, he would still be living a rich and leisurely life. Apart from eating and drinking, he would ride horses and shoot arrows.

Later, when he learned that Dong Zhuo was in rebellion, the fire in his heart was instantly ignited, and he vowed to support the Han Dynasty and eliminate the treacherous villain!

Therefore, he proclaimed himself General Assisting Han.

But before he could catch the thief, he collapsed on the road.

Marching and fighting was not as simple as he thought. Even setting up camp was a problem.

Moreover, leading the army north to attend the alliance would inevitably mean traveling by boat and sleeping in the open air.

It seems that it is better to stay in Chen State, after all, there are countless righteous people in the world.

Not to mention others, just among the royal family, there are Liu Junlang, Liu Bo'an, Liu Jingsheng, and even Liu Xuande who showed up out of nowhere.

Each one is more powerful than the other. What else do we need him for when we have all these capable members of the royal family?

It's not like he hasn't participated in wars before, and he can still vividly remember the scenes of resisting bandits.

That was so miserable.

If he led his troops to war and unfortunately died on the battlefield, wouldn't the State of Chen be destroyed again?
If his country was destroyed, how would he have the face to go to Mount Tai to meet King Xiao after his death?
Anyway, there are many capable relatives of the Han royal family, so it doesn't matter if he is missing.

From the moment I thought of this, I suddenly felt the world was so vast.

It is better to eat and drink well than to support the Han Dynasty!
Liu Chong originally thought that the days would pass like this, and the raging fighting outside had nothing to do with him.

Who would have thought that a letter from Chen Deng could actually accurately predict Yuan Shu's intentions!

Judging from the distance between Chen Deng and Yuan Shu, even if Chen Deng had spies in Yuan Shu's army, it would be impossible for him to deliver the letter to Yuan Shu before him!

Then there is only one possibility.
"Gudong"

Liu Chong felt his mouth becoming increasingly dry and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, with a storm of emotions rising in his heart.

Chen Yuanlong must be very smart and saw through Yuan Gonglu's intentions!!!

Liu Chong finally understood why Luo Jun, who was usually steady, had become so solemn.

He must have thought of the reason. The governor of the neighboring Guangling County is such a terrifying guy. How can he have a good life in the future?

You know, Chen Deng could even defeat Yuan Shu!

Liu Chong's breathing suddenly became rapid and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fortunately, Luo Jun reminded him: "My king, the current crisis does not lie with Chen Yuanlong, but with Yuan Gonglu!"

This sentence was like a morning bell and an evening drum, waking Liu Chong up. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "Xiaoyuan, what you said makes sense. I wonder if the envoy Chen Yuanlong is still here. I want to go and visit him in person."

Luo Jun nodded, "Your Majesty, according to the soldiers' report, Envoy Chen Yuanlong is currently in an inn in the city!"

"Good!" Liu Chong was as happy as a drowning man grabbing a floating log. After learning the news from Chen Deng's envoy, he didn't want to delay for a moment. He walked out of the house quickly and shouted to the servants in the yard: "Hurry up and prepare the gold, silver, silk and satin. I want to go visit a wise man!"

The 'virtuous man' that Liu Chong mentioned was currently sitting in the inn with a sad face, drinking sip after sip of his tea.

The 'virtuous man' was named Zhao Yu, a good friend of Chen Deng. He resigned from his post and returned home because he was ashamed to be associated with Ba Ji, the former governor of Xuzhou.

If Chen Deng had not visited him and asked him sincerely, he would not have come out of retirement. Even if he did, he was not willing to hold a high position.

After much persuasion from Chen Deng, he finally accepted Chen Deng's kindness and temporarily took up the post of Duyou.

"How strange, how strange. Why did Yuanlong insist on letting me stay here for several days? He also asked me not to open the remaining two letters, nor to hand them over to King Chen. Why is Yuanlong so strange? Where did he learn such troublesome things? "

"And you said that King Chen would definitely come to visit me in person?"

'How can it be? ! ’

"Prince Chen is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has 100,000 soldiers under his command. How could he come to visit me in person?"

"Could Yuanlong have been deceived by a treacherous villain?"

"Never mind. I'll have to warn Yuanlong when I get back this time, huh? What happened outside? Why is there so much noise?"

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, and the noisy noise outside the window interrupted his thoughts.

He stood up and pushed open the window, and what came into view was a long team. Almost everyone in this team was holding something, and the leader was very tall and looked like a strong and powerful warrior.

But these are not important. What is important is that after opening the window, he could finally hear the screams of the people on both sides of the road.

Those are two words - "Great King".
king?

Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Now that he was in the State of Chen, who else could be called the "King" except Chen Wang Liu Chong?
Could it be that Yuan Long was right? !

Zhao Yu's eyes trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He had been with Chen Deng for many years, how could he not know that Chen Deng was so powerful in the past? !
"Your Majesty, please, please, come in. The hero Zhao is in the house." The innkeeper smiled and fawned on Liu Chong, even wanting to help Liu Chong open the door for Zhao Yu.

Liu Chong immediately stopped him, "Leave this to me, you leave."

"promise."

The shopkeeper immediately stopped what he was doing, bowed and walked away.

Liu Chong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pushed open the door.

I saw a man standing by the window. Even though I couldn't see his face clearly, Liu Chong could tell from his tall back that this man must be extraordinary!
When the man noticed someone walking into the house, he slowly turned around, and Liu Chong was able to get a glimpse of the man's full appearance. He truly had a resolute face and an extraordinary temperament!
Even at first sight, he had the illusion that they were kindred spirits. The man was Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was originally immersed in the surprise brought by Chen Deng, but when he came to his senses, Liu Chong appeared behind him.

Living under the same roof, Zhao Yu actually felt a sense of mutual appreciation when looking at Liu Chong.

He didn't understand why this illusion occurred.

Was this within Yuanlong's expectations? Was this done on purpose?
What Zhao Yu didn't know was that his random thought was actually the truth.

Chen Deng chose Zhao Yu as the envoy for two reasons. First, Zhao Yu was honest and trustworthy. Second, Zhao Yu died suddenly due to Zuo Rong's attack, while Liu Chong died due to Zhang Kai's assassination. They could be described as a pair of brothers in distress.

"I am the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaoming, and the descendant of Liu Xian, the King of Chen Jing. I am Liu Chong, the King of Chen. May I ask your name?" Liu Chong did not have the slightest airs of a royal title, and his tone was casual and friendly.

Zhao Yu quickly bowed, "I am Zhao Yu, Zhao Yuanda from Langya, and I pay my respects to the king."

"Zhao Yuanda? Could he be the disciple of Qi Guanjun, the former magistrate of Ju County, and the Zhao Yuanda who made great contributions in fighting against bandits?!" Liu Chong's face was full of surprise.

Zhao Yu's mouth was a little stiff. He really didn't like others mentioning his meritorious service in resisting the bandits. What kind of merit was this? If the former governor of Xuzhou hadn't failed in his duties, how could the Yellow Turbans have been rampant in the five counties? He just did his job well.

However, Liu Chong didn't know the inside story, and he wouldn't be dissatisfied with Liu Chong's polite words. He quickly adjusted his mentality and nodded, "Not bad."

Liu Chong was immediately delighted, as Qi Guanjun was a hermit who studied Gongyang Zhuan. Zhao Yu was even more famous for his filial piety. His mother had been ill for three months. At that time, the thirteen-year-old Zhao Yu was so worried about his mother's illness that he frowned and lost weight, and even couldn't close his eyes. He held millet to divine and pray for his mother, and even cried blood. His fellow villagers praised his filial piety. In addition, Zhao Yu governed Ju County and promoted education, and his political achievements were a model for Langya State.

He is simply a celebrity who couldn’t be more standard!
Liu Chong never expected that Chen Deng would actually let such a famous person come to deliver the letter. If this isn't respect, what else can it be? !
In an instant, Liu Chong's favorable impression of Chen Deng increased a lot.

Of course Liu Chong did not forget to show his sincerity. He clapped his hands, and the servants waiting at the door immediately understood.

They walked into the house one after another, holding fine silks, dazzling jewels, and dazzling money.

Just when Liu Chong wanted to say, "This is my sincere gift, I hope Yuanda will accept it."

However, before he could finish the words, Zhao Yu took the lead.

Zhao Yu said coldly: "My king, what are you doing?!"

Liu Chong was shocked and suddenly thought of some rumors. It was said that many scholars loved to save face and would not accept jewelry and other valuables openly.

Could it be that Yuanda is this kind of person?

Liu Chong observed Zhao Yu's expression, and no matter how he looked at him, his eyes were filled with disgust.
He asked tentatively, "Will I send him to Yuanda's residence in Xuzhou?"

Unexpectedly, the disgust on Zhao Yu's face became stronger and stronger. Liu Chong's heart trembled, and he said to himself: Not good! It seems that Yuanda is different from those scholars!

So he hurriedly drove the servant out of the house and apologized to Zhao Yu.

"Yuan Da, I was confused just now. I thought that all scholars in the world would like these things. I never thought that Yuan Da had a noble character. Yuan Da, please sit down."

"." Zhao Yu's expression gradually eased back to normal, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

The two of them sat opposite each other around the table. Looking at Zhao Yu in front of them, Liu Chong expressed his doubts, "Yuan Da, I wonder why the governor of Guangling County sent you here?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the hidden truth. The words that alerted the guards before were Yuanlong's instructions before he left."

Hearing this, Liu Chong couldn't help but lower his eyebrows, and regret and loss surged in his heart.

Alas, what a pity
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu continued, "However, Yuanlong once gave me three letters, one of which was given to the guards, and now there are two left."

Liu Chong: “.”

Yuanda, can you finish your words in one breath?
Liu Chong felt that all the regret and loss he had just felt were wasted.

He asked, "Three letters? What about the remaining two?"

"Yuanlong once said that if the king comes to find me in person, he will let me hand the second letter to the king." Zhao Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Chong.

Liu Chong really wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the third letter, but Zhao Yu in front of him looked like he wanted to take a look at the second letter first, so he didn't force it.

Liu Chong took the letter from Zhao Yu, opened it and took a look. His pupils shrank immediately, his face turned pale, and even the hand holding the letter was shaking slightly.

Such a change made Zhao Yu extremely curious.

Unfortunately, before Zhao Yu could ask any more questions, Liu Chong suddenly stood up and said through gritted teeth, "I have something urgent to do. I hope Yuanda will forgive me."

Then Liu Chong didn't want to stay even for a moment, and rushed out of the house in a hurry and rushed towards the government office, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him.

"Huh? What's going on? Yuanlong's second letter could actually make King Chen lose his composure like this?" Zhao Yu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the image of Chen Deng in his mind became more and more profound.

In the Chen County government office, Luo Jun had just finished his official business and was about to think about how to punish the chief clerk who was standing trembling beside him when an anxious voice broke in.

"Xiaoyuan, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Luo Jun quickly stood up and looked at Liu Chong who was running towards him.

"My king, why are you so panicked?"

Liu Chong panted and pointed at the second letter he got from Zhao Yu. "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, the letter said that Yuan Shu would send assassins to kill us! Previously, the grain borrowing was just an excuse. The purpose was to find out our true strength!"

"what!"

The chief clerks were all horrified and their hands were shaking. If what was written in the letter was true, then he was committing a serious crime!
Luo Jun snatched the letter from Liu Chong's hand, took a closer look, and immediately his eyes were about to burst out, and he said in a lost voice: "What! It even said how Yuan Gonglu would act?! He pretended to borrow the road, but in fact he took the opportunity to assassinate me and the king!"

The chief clerk became even more uneasy, even his legs were shaking, but in order to survive, he decided to do something.

He bit his tongue, letting the pain dissipate in his mouth and thus making his mind clearer.

Although he was still terrified, he was able to speak a few words. He said weakly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister. This is just the words of Chen Yuanlong's family. You must not believe it."

Before he could even utter the word "ah", Liu Chong kicked the chief clerk to the ground, causing him to grimace in pain and cry out in agony.

"Humph! You idiot! If it weren't for you and the Prime Minister, how could I have missed the letter from the Governor Chen?!"

"It's already this late, and you're still questioning the authenticity of the letter?!"

The chief clerk, who was in so much pain that he burst into laughter, raised his head with all his strength and looked at Luo Jun, hoping that the kind-hearted prime minister would forgive him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Jun didn't even look at the chief clerk, but nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is right."

Huainan.

After listening to the account of the visitor to the State of Chen, Yuan Shu laughed, "Hahaha, Yang Changshi, it seems that the State of Chen has become my possession!"
