The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 253
In the middle of the night, in prison.

Yuexi took out the token and showed the jailer a look, and the jailer hurriedly stepped aside respectfully to let Yuexi into the prison.

There are no important people in this prison, so the defense is not very tight, and there is not such a tense atmosphere, and it is also because of this that they can enter the prison so smoothly.

Soon Yuexi came to the door of a cell, and there was a man sitting limply leaning against the wall in a daze. This man was Lu Ying who had been thrown into the prison.

Yue Xi sighed, looking at the demented Lu Ying felt very painful, it was hard for Yue Xi to accept that her friend suddenly fell to this point.

"My dear brother, I'm here to see you!" Yue Xi shouted while grabbing the cell door.

Lu Ying was awakened, looked up, and found that it was her friend Yuexi, she was shocked, and hurried to the door of the room and cried to Yuexi, "Brother, you are here, do me a favor, persuade the lord, let him Take back your life!"

Yuexi's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head and said, "Didn't you see it, my lord? The lord will never take back his life. The power of the crossbow is huge, and it has a huge effect on the lord's siege. The world, how could you just give up because of your personal problems?"

Yue Xi said with complicated eyes, "You shouldn't bring the Liannu to the hall. If you destroy it directly, the lord may only punish you once, because he didn't see the great power of the Liannu with his own eyes. Now that he has seen it, the result is Naturally it is different!"

Hearing Yue Xi's words, Lu Ying was startled, and then endless remorse flashed in her heart, she punched the cell, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Flashing through his mind was his master's dying instructions that he must take good care of the Peacock Crossbow, as well as the Mohist's admonition that it is not allowed to make the Peacock Crossbow, so as not to endanger the world.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought Liannu to see the lord!" Lu Ying repented and felt pain in her heart.

"Overlords are all interested in the world. You lack experience in dealing with people. You are too naive. You don't understand their thoughts. They will do whatever it takes to do things that are good for them!" Yue Xi said this, obviously struggling a bit .

It sounds nice to say that Cao Cao went to Yue's house to invite him to seek talents. In fact, Cao Cao used Yue Xi's father to blackmail Yue Xi. If Yue Xi didn't serve Cao Cao, Cao Cao would deal with Yue Xi's father.

Yuexi's father was just a great Confucian, and he lived in seclusion in a small county town. He had no power and no power. How could he resist Cao Cao, a powerful prince.

In desperation, Yuexi could only bear the burden of humiliation, and had no choice but to work under Cao Cao's account.

But because he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's actions, after Yue Xi came to Cao Ying, he never made any effort, and most of the time he was just perfunctory.

Cao Cao thought that Yuexi's military strength was nothing more than that, and the rumor that Yuexi's martial arts was superior was just an exaggeration. After observing it for a while, he became less interested.

After all, Yuexi's father was just a great Confucian, how could his son be a fierce general?Normally speaking, Yuexi is a scholar!
Moreover, Yuexi's family is not from a well-known family, so he would spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach him.

But no one knew that Yuexi was a descendant of Goujian, king of Yue, who took the country as his surname, so his surname was Yue.

It was Goujian, the King of Yue who tried his hardest to endure hardships.

After the fall of the Yue Kingdom, after a long time, the Yue surname gradually declined, and Yue Xi was considered as the descendant clan with the purest blood.

Yuexi's family didn't keep any valuables, only one thing was lucky enough to keep, and that was a secret book on halberd technique, the three-pronged square halberd technique.

Found by Yuexi in a pile of old things thick with dust.

Yue Xi is also considered to be very talented, secretly practiced for many years, and finally developed an extraordinary ability.

Later, he hoeed the strong and helped the weak in the village, and his reputation gradually spread until it reached Cao Cao's ears.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Yuexi sighed and said, "Listen to my advice, give up, only then you will be fine, I will report to Cao Cao and let him let you go!"

Lu Ying wryly smiled and said, "Give up? If I was willing to give up, I would have given up a long time ago. Why did I get to this point?"

"Then what are your plans? Stay in prison?" Yuexi asked.

Lu Ying shook her head, "I can't protect Peacock Liannu, I can only apologize with death!"

"Why are you doing this?" Yue Xi was startled, and looked at Lu Ying in disbelief.

Lu Ying stopped answering Yue Xi's question, and went straight to the wall and sat on the ground limply, saying, "Go back, I've made up my mind!"

"You are too confused. You are the only one left in your family. Do you want your Lu family to be extinct and let them have no peace under the Nine Springs?" Yue Xi said angrily, pulled out his long sword and opened the room with a bang. The big lock on the door, went in and dragged Lu Ying out.

"I'll let you go out now, run as far as you can, don't come back again in the future, don't think about Liannu anymore, you are not the savior, you should save yourself first!"

Yue Xi pulled Lu Ying out, with a serious face, he planned to break out of the prison by force.

Lu Ying was inexplicably shocked. In order to help her, Brother Yuexi is not afraid of being implicated?

Lu Ying was very moved, but he couldn't just walk away. He didn't want to hurt Brother Yuexi. Brother Yuexi is a good person, and he has been taking good care of him since he met him.

"I won't leave, you leave quickly, I can't harm you!" Lu Ying wanted to break free.

"You silly boy, you have to leave tonight. Don't be overwhelmed. I will play it by ear when it comes to Liannu. Don't worry about me. If I let you go, I will confess to Cao Cao. At most, I will be punished. Listen to the big brother and be good." Live!" Yue Xi said solemnly, and continued to pull Lu Ying out.

"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. It will harm you. Don't meddle in it. You still have a father waiting for you to take care of you. Don't let anything happen to you!" Lu Ying quickly refused in shock. How can I let my elder brother take the risk of my own affairs?

"My father has passed away. He died of illness. No one knew about it. After being discovered, his body stinks!" Yue Xi said coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

If it wasn't for Cao Cao, he could have been by his father's side, and such a thing wouldn't have happened. His father didn't want to leave the old house. Cao Cao sent someone to take care of his father at first, so Yue Xi was reluctantly relieved, but later found out that Yue Xi It doesn't have that much effect anymore, Cao Cao didn't even notify Yuexi, and directly removed the servants who took care of Yuexi's father. Those servants were the best servants around Cao Cao, and Cao Cao must have decided to stay and take care of his father. It was a waste, so I withdrew it, damn it, shameless villain Cao Cao, you are so vicious, you didn't even notify me.

Lu Ying was numb in shock, "When did it happen?"

Yue Xi's voice was cold, "Not long ago!"

The guards in the cell were not strict, only dozens of jailers and two school lieutenants guarded them. Yuexi easily repelled them and led Lu Ying straight out of the prison.

Taking advantage of his own identity, Yuexi sent Lu Ying out of the city, and Lu Ying gritted her teeth and rode away from Juechen.

Lu Ying was originally reluctant, but Yue Xi's words changed his mind. Yue Xi said that there are many ways to destroy the Peacock Liannu. He can disclose the news and let other princes deal with Cao Cao. After all, researching and manufacturing the crossbow is not an easy task, it will take a long time.

Yue Xi took Lu Ying out of prison, and Cao Cao was soon alarmed. Cao Cao immediately sent Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin to pursue him.

The three of Yu Jin rode out of the city and saw Yue Xi standing outside the city waiting for them.

The three looked at each other suspiciously, and Yu Jin said suspiciously, "Why don't you run away? You obviously have a chance to run away?"

Yuexi shook his head and said, "I let my friend go because I don't want him to die here. I don't leave because I am the lord's general. I made a mistake. I plead guilty. If you want to kill, you have to do whatever you want!"

Li Dian shook his head and said, "Being a good person will not lead to good results. You are doing this on your own. Come with us. My lord is waiting for you!"

"You don't need to be tied up, I can trust Yue Xi!" Yu Jin said.

"Yes!" Le Jin also nodded in agreement.

The three of them brought Yue Xi to Cao Cao on horseback, and Yue Xi knelt down on one knee and said, "Yue Xi is guilty and let Lu Ying go, I beg my lord to punish me!"

Yu Jin stood up and said, "Yuexi didn't escape, he was waiting for us at the city gate!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao glanced at Yue Xi unexpectedly, pondered for a while and said with an unfriendly expression, "You and Lu Ying are good friends, so you should persuade him to assist me in making the Peacock Crossbow instead of letting him go without permission!"

Yuexi said, "I tried to persuade you, but it didn't work!"

"Hmph! Then you can let the prisoner go at will?" Cao Cao said with a dark face, "I should have killed you as a warning to others, but since you knew your mistake and didn't escape, I will spare your life for the time being, but the death penalty can be avoided. If you can't escape the crime of living, you can give him a hundred lashes and execute it immediately!"

"Come on, execute!" Cao Cao ordered, and immediately soldiers came and dragged Yue Xi out to execute the whipping.

Soon there was the sound of whipping and groaning from outside.

Yu Jinlejin, Li Dian and others all frowned, even a strong body would not be able to withstand a hundred lashes, at least one month of training is required before he can walk.
