Can I get to the other side?

A figure suddenly appeared at the door of the house, which instantly attracted the attention of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

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

Zhang Fei thought it was a thief who came to the door, so he roared like thunder and went to arrest him, but Liu Bei stopped him.

"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 his face clearly, he felt familiar, so he cupped his hands and said, "May I ask what you do for your late night visit?"

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

Liu, Guan, and Zhang walked back slowly after leaving the palace, but he ran over directly after receiving Liu Xie's order, so he arrived earlier than the three of them.

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

"Your Majesty asked me to give this to Ambassador Liu."

"Farewell."

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

He still has a job and should not stay for a long time.

And if others find out that a commander of the palace guards appears here and has a private meeting with Liu Bei and the others, it will 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 forward to pick it up, and then started reading.

With just one glance, his expression changed.

When Guan Yu saw this, he couldn't help but asked: "Brother, what is written in this letter?"

Liu Bei's face was as dark as water, he put the letter in his arms and whispered: "Let's talk about it when we get home!"

After 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 door and windows, Liu Bei took out the letter and placed it under the oil lamp.

"Second brother, third brother, you should also take a look."

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 people's expressions changed, and they were shocked and angry.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My eldest brother wanted to help him, but he actually reported it to Yuan Shao?!"

He subconsciously believed that Liu Xie had informed Yuan Shao.

How else would Yuan Shao know?

There was no one else present at the time!

Guan Yu frowned and said, "If His Majesty told Yuan Shao about this matter, then why did he send someone here to remind us?"

It's too contradictory to inform and remind at the same time.

Guan Yu felt that there was something fishy in it.

"We were careless."

At this time, Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "As expected, it should be Yuan Shao's deliberate opportunity for us to go to see His Majesty today."

"After we left, Yuan Shaobei went to interrogate His Majesty and learned our past purpose."

"Your Majesty can send someone here to tell us that he has taken a huge risk and has run out of benevolence. This is not your Majesty's fault."

Liu Bei's thoughts were much more profound. He looked back and thought about it carefully. 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 it at the time.

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

They went to the emperor to ask for an edict so that they could go out to recruit troops and call on the princes to serve the king. If Yuan Shao knew about it, how would he give up?

We will definitely not let them go easily!

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

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

Zhang Fei said anxiously.

No matter how capable they are, if they are trapped among thousands of troops, they will still end up dead!

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

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Now the city gate is closed, and since Yuan Shao has learned about it, he will definitely be on guard. We can't get out."

"For this plan, we can only have a chance of survival if we enter the palace and capture Yuan Shao!"

Guan Yu said with narrowed eyes, exuding murderous aura.

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

"Brother!"

"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, thinking for a long time, then opened his eyes again and stood up.

"Go to the palace and see Yuan Shao!"

…

Royal palace, banquet hall.

The main hall, which was bustling with noise before, has now mostly left. Only Yuan Shao and a few close ministers are left.

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

Tian Feng's tone was extremely serious and full of worry: "My lord just tried a simple test today, but he showed his flaws. It shows that he is an extremely ambitious person and cannot be conquered."

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

Yuan Shao had already told his counselors about the temptation.

And this shocked everyone.

No one expected Liu Bei to be so bold as to go directly to see the emperor in private, hoping to obtain the emperor's edict and summon all the princes and kings!

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

Tian Feng and the judges all thought Liu Bei should be killed.

This time, even Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who did not deal with Tian Feng, did not choose to object. It was obvious that they had the same idea.

But Yuan Shao didn't say a word. Even though everyone urged him repeatedly, he still didn't make a decision.

Seeing this, Jushu asked: "My lord, what worries do you have?"

"well……"

Yuan Shao sighed, nodded and said: "Liu Bei can be killed, but it would be a pity if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed."

"These two are the most powerful generals in the world, no less powerful than Sun Jian and Sun Ce. If they can be under my command, they will be as powerful as a tiger to me."

"But the three brothers have a deep friendship. If I kill Liu Bei, how can I subdue Guan and Zhang?"

This is the reason why Yuan Shao hesitated to take action.

It's just Liu Bei, just kill him, he doesn't care; but he cares about the two tiger generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He wanted to find a way to kill Liu Bei and subdue Guan Zhang.

"Lord."

Jushou couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Although Guan and Zhang are brave, they cannot be conquered."

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

Yuan Shao rubbed his eyebrows and felt quite a headache.

He understands the truth, but he is really unwilling to do so.

Before Wenjiu beheaded Hua Xiong, he looked down on Guan Yu as a horse archer. Later, when Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong and the three heroes fought Lu Bu, his mentality completely changed and he became greedy for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

You must know that although the generals under his command are good, none of them can fight with Lu Bu; and Guan and Zhang can be evenly matched with Lu Bu, which shows how powerful his force is, how can he be willing to kill!

In Yuan Shao's view, Liu Bei doesn't deserve to have such a powerful general!

Only he deserves it!

While the ministers were admonishing and Yuan Shao was still struggling, a guard suddenly walked into the hall to report.

"My lord, Liu Bei and the other three are asking for a meeting outside the palace."
