Liu Bei's 50,000 strong army moved slowly, and the three of them caught up to them in no time. Jia Renlu liked to play pranks and insisted on making a cool appearance. Guan Yu couldn't persuade him, so he returned to the army first.
Liu Bei's victory was still a victory. He was delighted and proud. He urged his horse to walk in front of the team. He looked completely different from the day he was in Xudu. Not long after, they met Guan Yu. He welcomed him happily and asked,"Why has second brother been gone for so long? Is there any news about Renlu?"
Guan Yu told Liu Bei what had happened. Liu Bei sighed and said,"Renlu is really lucky. Although he encountered a disaster, he was shocked but not in danger. Where is he now?"
Just as they were talking, a small carriage approached. The curtain of the carriage was lifted and Diao Chan poked her head out with an anxious expression."Has Chief Yun seen Renlu?"
Guan Yu shook his head and said," I don't understand what he's saying. He said that he wanted to rush to the front and pose something cool. I don't know what he wants to do."”
Liu Bei knew that Jia Renlu was eccentric. He shook his head and smiled bitterly."Let him be. Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao are here, and they often try to harm me. I've been dealing with them along the way, and fortunately, I didn't get sick.”
When Diao Chan knew that Jia Renlu was not coming to see her, her face was filled with anger. She snorted, lowered the curtain, and hid in the carriage to sulk.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said," These two must have been instructed by Cao Cao to act so boldly. If we kill them, they will certainly enrage Cao Cao. We must find a way to get rid of them. I wonder if you have a good plan?"”
"I had written a memorial for them to be sent back to the capital," said Liu Bei."But the two generals said that Cao Cao had strictly ordered them not to leave the army. Those who disobeyed would be severely punished. So he refused to return, and I was helpless.”
"Renlu is a wise man," said Guan Yu."You can ask him later.”
Liu Bei nodded.”
Not long after, he saw Jia Renlu kneeling on one knee under a big tree, his right hand supporting his head, posing as a Thinker. Cao Jing stood at the side and smiled. Although Liu Bei was unfathomable and did not know what was going on, he did not dare to be negligent. He stepped forward and got off his horse. He bowed to the ground and said,"When I learned that Teacher was in trouble, I was very worried and lost my diet. Now that I see you again, I am really happy.”
Jia Renlu thought to himself, Sigh, looks like I'm playing the lute to a cow. No one appreciated it, and no one asked for an autograph.”"How could I dare to accept a great gift from the General?" I once said that if the general lived in Xuzhou, I would be attached to the tail of the horse. From now on, I will be Ming Gong's subordinate, how can I receive this gift?”
Liu Bei was overjoyed." It's my fortune for three lifetimes that you're willing to assist me."”
"You're too polite, Ming Gong." Jia Renlu smiled.”Cao Jing snorted, but Jia Renlu ignored her. Liu Bei asked,""Is this the daughter of Cao Cao?"
"That's right." Jia Renlu nodded.
As they were talking, Diao Chan came to Jia Renlu's side with a smile and said,""Husband, I finally see you again. You must be doing well recently, right?”As he spoke, he secretly reached out and pinched her hard.
Jia Renlu exclaimed and said awkwardly,""Very good…no…very bad.”
"Hehe, is it very good or very bad?" Diao Chan giggled.”
Jia Renlu was afraid that she would twist it again, so he quickly said,"Very bad, very bad!"”
"Follow me, Renlu," Liu Bei said helplessly.”After saying that, he walked to the side. Jia Renlu knew what he was thinking and quickly followed him. Diao Chan pulled Cao Jing to the side and talked to herself.
"Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao are here," Liu Bei whispered. I've always wanted to send the two of them back, but I don't have a good plan. I don't know what Renlu has to say.”
Jia Renlu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Cao Jing was Cao Cao's beloved daughter, so how could the two of them dare to neglect her?”
"This plan is feasible," said Liu Bei.”
That night, Liu Bei led Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling to the camp. Liu Bei said," I have an errand that requires the two of you. Please take the trouble to make the trip."”
Zhu Ling said,"We are all subordinates. There is no need for you to be so polite. Just give us your orders."”
"Now that Cao Gong's beloved daughter is in the army, I would like to send you two to escort her back to Xudu," said Liu Bei.”
Zhu Ling said,"The Ming Duke once gave strict orders not to let us leave the army without permission. Please understand."”
"Are you sure you won't go?" Liu Bei asked.”
"It's not that we don't want to go," Zhu Ling said,"but we really have no other choice.”
Liu Bei smiled." In that case, it seems that I will have to personally escort Cao Gong's beloved daughter back to Xudu." When I see Cao Gong, I will definitely put in a good word for the two of you and say that you are doing a terrible job. Even I, the general, have ordered you not to move. I think Cao Gong will be overjoyed when he hears this and praise you for your loyalty to your duties. He will reward you well.”
Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao looked at each other with fear on their faces. They knelt on the ground at the same time and said,""I don't dare to trouble you, general. I'm willing to stay!”
Liu Bei smiled, but his face darkened as he shouted,""Hurry up and prepare. Send Young Lady back to Xu City tomorrow morning. If there is any mistake on the way, you will be held accountable!”
"Yes!" Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao replied at the same time.”He crawled up, his legs trembling in fear, and he could not walk steadily. He staggered out of the tent.
After the two of them had gone far, Jia Renlu flashed out from the dark and said,""These two unknown extras dare to put on such airs. They really don't know what's good for them! I don't believe they won't die from fright."
Liu Bei smiled and said,"Renlu's words are really useful. He was scared into obediently doing as he was told."”
Jia Renlu said,"Hehe, Cao Cao did not want to make things difficult for you and ordered the two of them to plot in secret. He was afraid of being accused of killing a hero." If Ming Gong returns personally, nothing will happen. If Ming Gong agrees and really says this in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be furious and behead the two of them so that their evil plot will not be exposed. This is called killing to silence them. I think these two guys should have thought of this. That was why this sentence was the most effective. If they didn't pee their pants in fear, he would go and be a passerby!”
Liu Bei nodded." You're truly a great talent! You've never missed out on your plans. You're truly a genius!" I'm even happier than the Ten Xuzhou Prefecture when I get a reward!”
"You'd better write down this sentence and sign your name, Ming Gong," said Jia Renlu with a smile.”He thought to himself, With this note, I can show it off in front of Great Zhuge in the future.”
"But why?" Liu Bei asked with a blank face.”
Jia Renlu chuckled." Your praise is worth thousands of gold. I'll hang it on my bed and bow to it from time to time."”
Liu Bei laughed out loud. You, you, you are really strange.”
Jia Renlu laughed foolishly." Hehe, by the way, why didn't I see Yuanzhi along the way?"”
Liu Bei replied,"Yuanzhi went to Xuzhou to gather information and hasn't returned yet."”
"Did you get that thing?" Jia Renlu asked quietly.”
Liu Bei nodded. Jia Renlu asked,""Where are you now?"
Liu Bei said," Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling have been monitoring this place. It's not convenient to store it. Yuanzhi has been carrying it with him."”
Jia Renlu nodded and said," You dare to carry this thing around? Xu Yuanzhi is full of guts!"”
Liu Bei said," I asked him before. He said that he was just a passerby and no one cared about him. It would be safer to leave him there."”
Jia Renlu gave him a thumbs up. It's really high!"
Liu Bei shook his head and said," This item is of great importance. It might even cost you your life. Why did Renlu ask me to bring it here?"”
"You don't have a foot of land now," said Jia Renlu."How can you carry out a safe and convenient policy to stabilize the world? Although this matter is dangerous, if it is used well, it is not impossible to guarantee a few years of peace.”
Liu Bei said,"I really don't know what to do with this thing. Everything depends on the plan of benevolence and salary."”
"How dare you not do your best!" Jia Renlu said.”
The next morning, Cao Jing came to Jia Renlu's tent to bid farewell. Jia Renlu said,""All good things must come to an end. I have followed Imperial Uncle and am enemies with your father. There will be a battle sooner or later. Go back and stay by your father's side. He has always treated you very well. You have to be obedient and not make him angry again. The world was unpredictable. Now that things had turned out like this, he was also very helpless. Although I am enemies with Cao Gong, I truly admire him. Go back and tell Cao Gong for me,'First, don't be suspicious. Second, everything must be listened to Guo Fengxiao's words. If Fengxiao unfortunately died early, he should listen to Cheng Zhongde's words. Third, do not be arrogant when you win, because arrogance is bound to fail. I am grateful to him for taking care of me for more than two months, so I told him these three plans. Whether it works or not depends on him.”
"You've said so much, I can't remember everything, so I'd better write it down."”
Jia Renlu said awkwardly,"Beep!" My calligraphy is in a flamboyant style, and it's the best of the best. How can it be so easy to obtain? Although you saved me twice and escorted me for thousands of miles, you have done me a great favor. But you want to ask for my calligraphy just like that? Isn't that too insincere?”
Cao Jing said,"Hehe, your handwriting must be shameful and you don't dare to take it out to make a fool of yourself."”
Jia Renlu blushed and was about to answer when Diao Chan came over with a piece of paper. She handed it to Cao Jing and said,""It's all written. Cao Jing, take a look and see if there's anything wrong.”
Cao Jing looked at it carefully and said," Alright, you always say that you want to give me an autograph. Today, I'll borrow Sister Diao Chan's good handwriting to ask for your autograph."”
Jia Renlu said," How did it become me giving you my autograph? Didn't you beg me to do it? I refused no matter what." Besides, you're too insincere in begging. I won't agree.”
Cao Jing glared at him and pouted."Do you agree?"
Jia Renlu shook his head." Alright, alright. I'm afraid of you."”He took the piece of paper and came to the table. He raised his pen and wrote three big words with great difficulty: He knew nothing about seal script, official script, calligraphy, and cursive script, so the three characters were all simplified Chinese. Cao Jing took it and looked at it. The handwriting was extremely difficult to read. In addition, Jia Renlu's handwriting was very different from what she knew, so she could not recognize it at all. She could not help but frown slightly. Then, she put away the note carefully and said,"Alright, after all, I saved your life. You won't not repay me, right?”
Jia Renlu sighed." Sigh, we'll be enemies in the future. We might not even be able to see each other." I have no way to repay you. Besides, you are the daughter of Cao Cao. You can have anything you want. What can I, a poor man, repay you for? Don't tell me you want me to be like Duke Wen of Jin and avoid your father?”
"If that time really comes, will you be willing to retreat?" Cao Jing asked.”
"I'm not the commander, so I don't have the final say," said Jia Renlu. If I were leading the army, I would have retreated three quarters when I met your father.”
"I won't make things difficult for you. You just have to promise me three things."”
"What is it?" Jia Renlu asked.
"I haven't thought of it yet," Cao Jing said."When I think of it in the future, I'll let you do it."”
Jia Renlu thought to himself,'Why are you so familiar? Where have I seen you before…Fine, Zhao Min from Yitian said so before.' What was this? Zhao Min had given Little Zhang two extremely difficult tasks. How will this Cao Jing deal with me? Do I agree?" He lowered his head and pondered, not answering for a long time.
"Are you going to agree or not?" Cao Jing asked angrily.”
Jia Renlu frowned." Promise, promise. I'll agree to a hundred things."”
Cao Jing chuckled." I should go too. Remember what you said today. Don't go back on your word."”
"I won't go back on my word, I won't go back on my word!" Jia Renlu said.”He thought to himself,'It would be strange if I didn't go back on my word. I'm not an idiot like Little Zhang who would go through fire and water. When the time comes, it'll be too difficult. I might even have to play dead.'”
Cao Jing giggled, turned around, and walked away. Jia Renlu followed closely behind and said,""Let me send you off." "No need!" Cao Jing said angrily. Without looking back, he went straight ahead. Not far away, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were already waiting with their horses. Cao Jing got the horse and did not look back. He whipped the horse and urged it to go.
