Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 33: I’m not afraid of Yuan Shao!

After experiencing the embarrassment of being ignored, Liu Xie simply said nothing and quietly drank and ate at his seat.

Although the taste of food in this era is far inferior to that of later generations, he has adapted to it after traveling through time for so long, and now he enjoys the food very much.

Moreover, the dancing moves of those dancers in the hall are quite pleasing to the eye.

Their clothes are also quite revealing, which is a feast for the eyes.

In ancient times, conservatism was only used for decent women. Geisha, dancers, prostitutes, and singers were not conservative at all.

After all, in feudal society, women were just objects for fun, so how could they have dignity?
When the banquet was halfway through and everyone had almost finished eating, Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and asked Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, I heard that you accidentally caught a cold the day before yesterday? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ok?"

Liu Xie was still eating and was stunned when he heard this.

What the hell? Wind chill?

When did he get it?
But before he could answer, Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said, "Come here, your Majesty is not feeling well, send your Majesty back to the palace to rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, please."

Two guards stood on Liu Xie's left and right.

When Liu Xie saw that Yuan Shao and the ministers in the hall were all looking at him, he suddenly realized that it was not appropriate for him to continue to be present for the conversation.

"Okay... Then I will go back to the palace first."

Liu Xie put down the chopsticks in his hand, said a polite word, then stood up and left the hall with two guards.

Yuan Shao asked him to go, could he refuse?
I can only passively admit that I am “unwell”.

Watching Liu Xie leave the hall, Guan Yu, who was sitting behind Liu Bei, frowned and whispered, "How dare Yuan Shao be so rude?"

How could he not see that Liu Xie was forced to leave?

It was simply that Yuan Shao didn't want him to stay!
Even he could not stand to see the emperor being ordered around like this.

Liu Bei withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Yuan, the three of us brothers are a little sleepy, I am afraid we can't continue to accompany you."

Yuan Shao was somewhat displeased when he heard this: "The banquet is only halfway through and Xuande wants to go back. Do you think I have neglected you?"

Liu Bei said apologetically, "Brother Yuan, that's not true. I don't drink much to begin with. I drank a little too much today. I really can't handle it."

"OK then."

Although Yuan Shao felt sorry when he heard this, it was difficult for him to stay.

So Liu Bei left the hall with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

……

"Brother, why are you leaving so soon? I haven't had enough to drink yet."

After leaving the hall, Zhang Fei grinned.

He has a very good alcohol tolerance. The wine at today's banquet was not very strong. To him, it was just like drinking water. He has not felt drunk at all so far.

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Third brother, didn't you see that Yuan Shao has driven His Majesty away? Why should we shamelessly stay here?"

"Besides, he is so disrespectful to Your Majesty. How can I cope with it if I stay here?"

It was obvious that Yuan Shao wanted to discuss things with his ministers.

And there was no plan to let them stay.

Otherwise, I would have tried my best to keep them instead of just saying a few symbolic polite words and letting them leave.

"Tsk, that's really not nice."

Zhang Fei despised Yuan Shao's behavior and didn't want him to speak directly, so he went around in circles.

Then he asked, "Brother, we have been in Yecheng for almost a month. Will Yuan Shao lend us troops?"

"If you don't want to lend us troops, why don't we go to Gongsun Zan? He is your classmate, and he has a very good relationship with you, brother. He will definitely be willing to lend us troops."

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were classmates. They both studied under Lu Zhi.

It would naturally be easier to borrow troops from Gongsun Zan.

However, the only problem was that Gongsun Zan was in Liaoxi and occupied the Youzhou area, which belonged to the north. It would be troublesome to borrow troops there and then come back.

That's why they came to Yuan Shao, after all, it's close. "Let's wait a little longer. If Yuan Shao doesn't lend us troops after the New Year, we'll go to Youzhou and look for Gongsun Zan."

Liu Bei also had his own considerations.

Now Yuan Shao's main reason for shirking his responsibilities was that it was not appropriate to send troops in winter and he would wait until after the New Year. In that case, he would wait until after the New Year.

"Brother, where are we going now? Should we go back to our residence? Or should we find a place to have a drink?"

Guan Yu asked, in fact it was still very early.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Of course not. We are going to find His Majesty now."

"what?"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were both shocked.

Go see the emperor?

Although they were not sure what their eldest brother was going to do, the two still chose to support him and followed Liu Bei's footsteps to the bedroom.

……

After Liu Xie was sent back to his bedroom by the guards, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

His mind was full of what happened at the party tonight.

In front of Yuan Shao and that group of people, he was nothing, like an ant. This feeling of powerlessness made him panic.

"It's not up to you."

Liu Xie opened his eyes, looked at the beams in the house, and muttered to himself.

He wishes he could control his own destiny.

Instead of being played around with and slaughtered like a clown.

But how easy is this?
Liu Xie sighed, tucked in the quilt, turned over and prepared to go to sleep.

But at this moment he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, your servant Liu Bei requests an audience."

Liu Xie's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened. He lifted the quilt, sat up and looked outside the door.

There were three figures standing outside.

Tsk tsk, I went there on New Year’s Eve, and there wasn’t even a guard or maid to pass the message.

This emperor really has no dignity at all.

"But what are they doing here?"

Liu Xie was confused and didn't know why these three people suddenly came to his house, but he still put on his clothes and went out.

When Liu Bei saw Liu Xie in his clothes, he immediately apologized, "I am sorry for disturbing your majesty's sleep. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Liu Xie said with a smile, indicating that he didn't care, and then asked curiously: "The banquet is still going on, why did the emperor's uncle leave so early?"

Could it be that they were also driven away by Yuan Shao?

Not likely.

If Yuan Shao really dared to do this, Zhang Fei would definitely be the first to rush up and punch him in the face.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "That is not the case. I just saw that Your Majesty was asked to leave and I was a little worried, so I came here to ask for an audience."

Come to see him?

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and was slightly touched. He said, "Uncle, don't worry. I just caught a little cold. It's nothing serious. I will be fine after a few days of rest."

But just as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei, who was impatient, spoke up: "Your Majesty, why did you lie to us? It's obvious that Yuan Shao was committing treason and deliberately took you away!"

"My eldest brother couldn't bear it, so he took me and my second brother away with him!"

Liu Xie lied to them that he was sick even though he was not sick, and he did not dare to tell the truth. Zhang Fei did not understand this.

Why are you afraid of Yuan Shao?
