Early in the morning, in a dense forest in Dongling County, Liu Bei and a few dozen of his personal guards were hiding in a sorry state, avoiding the search of all the enemies. On the other hand, Liu Bei was heartbroken. He had relied on Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to conquer the world. Now that his two strongest fighters had been captured, what hope did he have?
Right now, he wished he could draw his sword and slit his throat.
"My lord, drink some water." A guard said.
Liu Bei sighed and shook his head,""Now that I'm alone, how can I be in the mood to drink water? I might as well die.”
"My lord, you must not think that way.”
"That's right, my lord, you haven't lost yet. At worst, you can just borrow troops from Lord Tao Qian and come back.”The bodyguards tried to persuade him.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up as he thought to himself,""That's right, I still have Tao Qian. As long as we return to Xu Prefecture, we still have a chance.”
Hope rose in his heart again, but at this moment, a strange laughter came from the dense forest.
"Who is it?" Liu Bei drew his sword and roared.
Although his combat strength was not as good as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, ordinary people were not his match. Therefore, at the critical moment, he also exploded with killing intent. However, his killing intent quickly disappeared because hundreds of men with short knives surrounded them.
The person leading this group of people was Guo Chuan. He was in charge of training the intelligence agency, and these people were part of his subordinates. Although his job was only to gather intelligence, he would occasionally be responsible for assassination missions. Therefore, he had secretly nurtured some experts. Now, it was easy to pull them out to deal with Liu Bei.
"General Liu Bei, our lord has invited you. Don't try to resist. All of our blades have been smeared with a poison that can cut your throat.”Guo Chuan sneered.
……
Dian Man was leading his personal guards while Lin Meng was eating with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
"Generals, don't stand on ceremony. I'm tired from fighting last night, so I can't skip breakfast today.”Meng Lin said with a smile. His hands were not idle as he directly ate in big mouthfuls.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, not understanding what Lin Meng meant.
"You won't kill us? Or are you not afraid of being killed?" Zhang Fei asked curiously.
"It would be a pity to kill you." "As for why I didn't tie you up, it's because I have absolute confidence." Meng Lin said with a smile. Putting aside Dian Wei behind me, just the ballistae and several hundred soldiers I've set up nearby aren't something you two can charge out of. I respect you as heroes, so I want to have a meal with you.”
"What do you mean? If we don't make things clear, we won't be able to eat this meal.”Guan Yu said coldly.
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and sneered,"You dog thief, are you trying to bribe us? Stop dreaming. If you want to kill, then kill. We are not half-hearted people.”
"I have no intention of subduing you." Meng Lin smiled and shook his head.
"Why?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked curiously.
"The two of you are rare tiger generals in the world. Ordinary people will definitely want to subdue you, but I know that the two of you are loyal people, so talking about subduing you is simply an insult.”Meng Lin laughed." So, you should eat and drink. If you're not afraid of death, why would you be afraid of me poisoning you?"”
"What are you afraid of? Second Brother, eat it.”Zhang Fei laughed loudly and picked up his chopsticks to start eating. Guan Yu laughed coldly and started eating as well.
Zhang Fei held a chicken drumstick in his left hand and a wine pot in his right hand. He shouted,"Lin Meng, you dog, I like your temper. If we weren't enemies, I would really want to be your brother.”
"Hahaha, then eat more." Meng Lin laughed.
At this moment, a bodyguard suddenly appeared behind Meng Lin and whispered,""My lord, I have brought him here."
"Bring him up." Meng Lin said coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Liu Bei was brought up. The three brothers, Liu Guan and Zhang, were all here.
Liu Bei had thought that he would die, but when he went up to the city gate tower, he saw that his second and third brothers, whom he had been worried about, were actually eating and drinking happily. The first thing this dark-hearted guy felt was displeasure, and his face immediately darkened.
"Big brother!" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu exclaimed in surprise.
"Second brother, third brother, you guys have been living quite well.”Liu Bei said sarcastically.
Zhang Fei said casually," Big Brother, you don't know. This Lin Meng is a good thief. He actually let us eat and drink well. You should come and eat too. This dish is not bad."”
"Third brother!" Guan Yu immediately stopped him and said apologetically,""I'm sorry, big brother. We…"
"No need to explain. I believe you.”Liu Bei said with a cold smile. However, he felt even more awkward in his heart.
Cracks appeared in the hearts of the three brothers. Meng Lin smiled in satisfaction. He arranged such a show to sow discord, but it seemed to be very effective.
"General Liu Bei, please sit down and eat. After eating, you three brothers can leave.”Meng Lin said with a smile.
"Leave?" The three of them exclaimed and looked at Meng Lin in disbelief.
They had thought of many possibilities, but they never thought that Meng Lin would let them go.
"Yes, leave." "I won't kill you because I'll fall into Tao Qian's trap." Meng Lin sneered. Tao Qian wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but I just wouldn't let him have his way.”
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Liu Bei's mind buzzed and he almost cried out in shock.
He had always been a suspicious person. Now that Meng Lin had said that on purpose, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why did Tao Qian let him come to Dongling? Was he really using someone else to kill him? Could it be that Tao Qian wanted to kill him?
"Old Tao Qian, you and I are irreconcilable!”Liu Bei roared in his heart.
Seeing this, Meng Lin smiled with satisfaction. The seeds of hatred had been planted. Liu Bei, this sinister guy, would definitely take revenge on Tao Qian. It was foreseeable that Tao Qian would definitely die in the near future.
This feeling of being in control of everything was very satisfying. Cheng Yu was indeed amazing.
"Come, everyone, eat to your heart's content.”Meng Lin laughed.
Liu Bei had a lot on his mind, so he barely managed to eat some food. Then, the three brothers rode the horse that Lin Meng had given them and left Dongling County.
"My lord, are we just going to let them go?”Dian Wei asked unwillingly.
"Of course we have to let them go because they can bring us benefits.”"If I can defeat them once, I can defeat them a second time. So what if I let them go?" Meng Lin laughed.”
