"You're short-sighted. Do you really think that the aristocratic families will think highly of you, Liu Bei?”
In the spring of the first year of Xingping, Pingyuan County.
In the dark and damp dungeon, cockroaches and rats would occasionally jump around, and a rancid sour smell would assail his nose.
The disheveled Chen Mu's eyes flashed with mockery.?
Chen Mu was a transmigrator.
In this life, his status was low. He was originally from a commoner family in Qingzhou and had joined the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans in distress.
Unwilling to be a Mountain Thief King with no future, Chen Mu ignored the advice of his best friend Guan Hai and insisted on coming to Pingyuan County to seek refuge with Liu Bei.
When they first met, Liu Bei treated Chen Mu politely.
Other than Zhang Fei, who disliked Chen Mu and was bothered by Chen Mu's background.?
Liu Bei had a small feast every three days and a big feast every five days.
Chen Mu also felt that he had met a wise ruler who helped Liu Bei to make the country prosperous and reform.
However, Chen Mu's reform had offended the aristocratic families of Pingyuan County.?
The aristocratic families demanded that Liu Bei kill Chen Mu to show his determination!
At the same time, he promised Liu Bei that he would introduce Liu Bei to the Governor of Beihai, Kong Rong!
Chen Mu had thought that Liu Bei would spare no effort to protect him, just like how Duke Xiao of Qin had protected Shang Yang in the past.
However, he did not expect Liu Bei to abandon Chen Mu and compromise with the aristocratic families!
Chen Mu still remembered Liu Bei's reason."
"You, Chen Mu, are just a commoner, not the Lord of Shang. I, Liu Bei, may be the Prime Minister, but I am not Duke Xiao of Qin.”
The meaning of his words.
Chen Mu was aiming too high. He did not have Shang Yang's abilities, but he wanted to imitate him.
As for Liu Bei, he did not have the power of Duke Xiao of Qin. He was just a small Prime Minister of Pingyuan Commandery. He could not protect Chen Mu like Duke Xiao of Qin protected Shang Yang.
Coupled with Zhang Fei, who had always looked down on Chen Mu, fanning the flames, Chen Mu was immediately sent to the death row.?
Choose a day to behead!
And tonight was the last night!
"Young Master Chen is here!"
The cell door creaked, and a son of an aristocratic family dressed in silk stood arrogantly.
This person was one of the aristocratic families in Pingyuan County, the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Yao.
He was also one of the people who had been interrogated by Chen Mu during his reform!
"You're actually worthy of the surname Chen?"
Chen Yaoshan covered her nose with her hand as if she couldn't stand the stench of the dungeon.
"Enemies really meet on a narrow road!"
"Not hiding anymore?"
Chen Mu's gaze was cold. He looked at Chen Yao as if he was looking at a dead man.?
His tone was filled with ridicule.
Chen Yao's eyebrows seemed to have been burned by fire, and he instantly became furious.""Chen Mu, you're about to die, yet you still dare to be stubborn? If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I might pity you, a lowly person, and make you my servant!”
A dignified scion of an aristocratic family was actually frightened by a commoner and did not dare to go out for half a month!
To Chen Yao, this was a great humiliation!
"Actually, you shouldn't have come!" Chen Mu's eyes flashed with pity.”
Chen Yao was so angry that he laughed, I shouldn't have come? What a joke! If I don't send you off, how can I face the humiliation you once gave me!”
Chen Yao said as he kicked the withered grass in the dungeon toward Chen Mu.?
It seemed that this method could increase the pleasure of humiliation!
However, Chen Mu did not even try to dodge. He allowed the withered grass to hit his face. Instead, he said with a smile,""Now that you're here, it'll be easier for me to leave!”
"This is ridiculous!"
Chen Yao felt as if his punch had landed on cotton. He could not feel the thrill of humiliating Chen Mu at all. Instead, he felt an indescribable grievance!
At this moment.
The jailer outside the dungeon suddenly looked a little flustered.
"Who is it?"
"How dare you barge into the death prison! If you take another step closer, you'll be executed!"
"You, you, you, you are Yellow Turban thieves?”
"Grandpa, I'm Guan Hai from the Netherworld, don't say the wrong name!”
Shouts of battle rang out.
In just an instant, all the jailers were killed.
The tower-like burly man came to the cell door and carried the ferocious broken saber. He grimaced."Chief, if you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have fallen to this state.”
Chen Yao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He pointed at Chen Mu and said in horror,""You, you, you are a Yellow Turban thief?"
Chen Mu stood up and raised his hands. Hurry up and untie the chains!"
Clang!
The chains that bound Chen Mu's hands and feet fell to the ground.?
Chen Mu glanced at Chen Yao, who had lost control of his bladder, but he could not be bothered to look at him.""Knock him out, carry him away!"
Immediately, a Yellow Turban soldier slapped Chen Yao unconscious and carried him on his shoulder with some disdain.
Outside the dungeon, there were already dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers holding their sabers.
"Chief!"
When they saw Chen Mu, the group of Yellow Turban soldiers looked very excited.?
Chen Mu cupped his fists and returned the greeting. He then looked back at Guan Hai.
"Guan Hai, thank you so much!"
"I thought you would hate me for insisting on leaving the village and not coming to save me?”
Guan Hai pretended to be angry and snorted,"Of course I'll blame you!" Back then, you abandoned the entire village and insisted on pursuing your future. You really angered me!”
But soon, Guan Hai's tone softened,""But who asked you to be my brother, Guan Hai, and the leader of our village's four hundred men! Other than those who can't go down the mountain, I've brought all my brothers from the village!”
"Wherever you go, we'll kill with you!”
Suddenly.
A troop of soldiers charged out.
The person in the lead had a leopard head and eyes. He was Liu Bei's sworn brother, Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei flew into a rage when he saw the jailer on the ground.
"As expected, a thief is a thief!"
"Chen Mu, you colluded with the Yellow Turban bandits and killed my jailer.”
