Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 36 I'm greedy for their bodies
A figure suddenly appeared at the door of the house, instantly attracting the attention of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

"Hey! Where did this little thief come from?"

Zhang Fei thought it was a thief, so he yelled like thunder and was about to go forward to catch him, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Third brother, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Then Liu Bei looked at the figure standing in the darkness. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he felt that it was familiar. He bowed and said, "May I ask what brings you here so late at night?"

And this person was actually Zhang He who came to deliver the letter.

After Liu, Guan and Zhang left the palace, they walked slowly all the way back, but he received Liu Xie's order and ran here directly, so he arrived earlier than the other three.

Zhang He stayed in the shadows without revealing his true face. He just took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and placed it on the ground.

"This is what His Majesty asked me to give to Envoy Liu."

"Farewell."

After saying this, Zhang He turned around and left in a hurry.

He still has his duties to perform, so it is not appropriate for him to stay here for long.

Moreover, if others found out that he, the commander of the palace guards, appeared here and had a secret meeting with Liu Bei and others, it would be a big trouble.

If it weren't for Liu Xie's order, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Sent by His Majesty?"

Liu Bei frowned, his eyes fell on the piece of letter paper on the ground, he walked up to it, picked it up, and began to read.

With just one glance, his expression changed.

Seeing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's written in this letter?"

Liu Bei's face was as gloomy as water. He put the letter into his arms and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get home!"

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu followed closely behind.

The three of them came to the study together. After closing the doors and windows, Liu Bei took out the letter paper and placed it under the oil lamp.

"Second brother, third brother, you can take a look too."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes fell on the letter paper.

There are only four words on it.

"Yuan Shao knows."

For a moment, the two of them changed color, shocked and angry.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth, "Brother wanted to help him, but he actually informed Yuan Shao?!"

He subconsciously thought that Liu Xie had informed Yuan Shao.

Otherwise, how did Yuan Shao know?
There was no one else present at the time!
Guan Yu frowned and asked, "If Your Majesty told Yuan Shao about this, why did he send someone to remind us?"

Informing and reminding at the same time, this is too contradictory.

Guan Yu felt that there was something fishy going on.

"We were careless."

At this time, Liu Bei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice: "As expected, our visit to His Majesty today should be an opportunity deliberately given by Yuan Shao."

"After we left, Yuan Shao must have interrogated Your Majesty and learned our purpose in the past."

"Your Majesty has taken a huge risk and done the utmost to send someone to tell us. This is not your Majesty's fault."

Liu Bei thought much more deeply. Looking back carefully, he felt that everything that happened today was too smooth. Logically speaking, how could Yuan Shao let him have private contact with the emperor so easily?

I just didn't think of that at the time.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately lost their composure upon hearing this.

If Yuan Shao knew that they went to the emperor to ask for an imperial edict so that they could recruit soldiers and call on the princes to serve the king, would he let it go?
I will definitely not let them go easily!

"Brother, let's pack our bags and leave the city now!"

"Yuan Shao must have gathered his men to come find us!"

Zhang Fei said anxiously. No matter how capable they are, if they are trapped in a huge army, they will still die!

Personal bravery is still too insignificant in front of the army.

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "The city gates are now closed, and now that Yuan Shao knows about this, he will definitely take precautions. We can't get out."

"The only way for us to survive now is to break into the palace and capture Yuan Shao!"

Guan Yu said with narrowed eyes, a murderous aura emanating from his whole body.

But what to do depends on Liu Bei's decision.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu both looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sat on the chair with his eyes closed, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. He pondered for a long time before he opened his eyes again and stood up.

"Go to the palace and meet Yuan Shao!"

……

Imperial Palace, Banquet Hall.

The hall, which was bustling before, is now mostly empty, with only Yuan Shao and a few of his trusted ministers left.

"My lord, Liu Bei has evil intentions! He must not be allowed to stay!"

Tian Feng's tone was very serious and full of worry. "My lord, you only tested him today, but he showed his true colors. This shows that he is a very ambitious person and cannot be subdued."

"If we don't kill such ambitious people now, they will become a big problem in the future!"

Yuan Shao had already told his advisers about the test.

This also shocked everyone.

No one expected that Liu Bei would be so bold that he would go directly to meet the emperor in private, hoping to obtain the emperor's edict and summon all the princes to come to the defense of the country!

Shen Pei also agreed with Tian Feng's words and nodded, saying, "Yuan Hao is right. Now is the best time to kill Liu Bei. My lord, you must not be soft-hearted."

Tian Feng and Shen Pei both believed that Liu Bei should be killed.

This time, even Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who were at odds with Tian Feng, did not choose to oppose, and it was obvious that they held the same idea as them.

But Yuan Shao said nothing. Even though everyone urged him again and again, he still did not make a decision.

Seeing this, Ju Su asked, "My lord, do you have any concerns?"

"Ugh……"

Yuan Shao sighed and nodded, saying, "Liu Bei can be killed, but it would be a pity to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

"These two are the best generals of the time, no less powerful than Sun Jian and Sun Ce. If I can recruit them, it will be even more powerful for me."

"But the three brothers have a deep bond. If I kill Liu Bei, how can I win over Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

This is why Yuan Shao was slow to act.

He didn't care about killing Liu Bei, but he cared about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He wanted to find a way to kill Liu Bei and subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Lord."

Ju Su couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Although Guan and Zhang are brave, they can't be subdued."

"If we don't kill Liu Bei now, there will be endless troubles in the future. Please don't hesitate any longer, my lord."

Yuan Shao rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

He understood the truth, but he really didn't want to accept it.

Before he drank wine and killed Hua Xiong, he looked down on Guan Yu, a archer and horseman; later when Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong and the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, his mentality changed completely and he became very jealous of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

You have to know that although the generals under his command are quite capable, none of them can fight against Lu Bu; but Guan and Zhang can be on par with Lu Bu, which shows how powerful their martial arts are. How could he bear to kill them!

In Yuan Shao's opinion, Liu Bei was not worthy of having such a powerful general!
Only he deserves it!
Just as the ministers were advising him and Yuan Shao was still hesitating, a guard suddenly walked into the hall to report.

"My lord, Liu Bei and the other two are outside the palace asking to see you."
