At this thought, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened.
It must be the Mr. Bai that Cao Ren mentioned!
He had the ability to trap Lady Mi and still dared to let her go. A normal general wouldn't dare to do so!
At this thought, Zhuge Liang felt as if the clouds had cleared and he could see the light of day.
However, Zhuge Liang didn't say anything. Instead, he gently waved his feather fan and looked at the scene in front of him.
It wasn't that Zhuge Liang didn't want to say anything, but the current situation wasn't something that could be resolved even if he said it. Instead, he would be mistaken for saving Zhao Yun.
Guan Yu and Zhang Tie already had some opinions about him during the Battle of Xinye. If he were to fall into their trap now and be accused of defecting to the enemy, it would be difficult for him to escape.
This matter could only be discussed in private with Liu Bei!
At this moment, Liu Bei was looking at the scene in front of him. He just stood there quietly, his face expressionless.
Zhao Yun felt a chill in his heart.
Zhao Yun could endure Lady Mi's misunderstanding and Guan Yu and Zhang Tie's accusations and distrust.
However, Liu Bei's attitude right now made Zhao Yun extremely disappointed.
Everything he did was for Liu Bei's sake. Zhao Yun was willing to sacrifice his life and break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of Cao Army without fear of death.
However, it seemed that his lord didn't believe him either.
Zhao Yun smiled helplessly. He gripped the Silver Dragon Gall Spear tightly and said in a low voice,
"Zilong was willing to sacrifice his life for the Han Dynasty. Now that I'm in prison, I can't prove my innocence."
"If my lord doesn't believe me, Zilong is willing to spill my blood and use my life to prove my innocence!"
After saying this, Zhao Yun pointed the spear at his neck and was about to stab it.
"Wait!"
When Liu Bei saw this, he quickly waved his hand and stopped Zhao Yun. He hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Yun and took the Bright Silver Dragon's Gall Spear. He placed it aside and held Zhao Yun's hand tightly.
"How can I not trust Zilong?! Zilong, don't do anything stupid! "
"Just now, I was just thinking about what I did to deserve Zilong's loyalty! If Zilong really joins Cao Cao, I am willing to offer my head in exchange for gold and silver for Zilong! "
After saying that, Liu Bei's eyes became wet and tears flowed out.
Zhao Yun, who was originally disheartened, heard this, and his eyes were suddenly rekindled with hope!
As a subject, there were two types of people. One was for glory, splendor, and wealth, while the other was because their lord was worth it!
Zhao Yun belonged to the latter.
When Liu Bei said this, the surrounding civil and military officials were stunned.
For a subject, he was willing to sacrifice his own life. What kind of benevolence and righteousness did he have to be to say such words!
"My lord …"
For a moment, Zhao Yun did not know what to say. It was as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
Liu Bei coldly looked at Lady Mi, who was still glaring at Zhao Yun, and coldly said:
"Vicious woman, do you know your crime?"
When Lady Mi heard this, her eyes widened and she looked at Liu Bei in disbelief.
"Husband, this … what crime did I commit?"
Liu Bei continued:
"Zilong's loyalty is not only known to the Shu army, but also to the Jiangdong clans and Cao Cao's camp!"
"This time, Zilong had just escaped from Xinye City. When he heard that thou and A 'dou were in trouble, he disregarded his exhaustion and risked his life to save the two of you."
"Thou actually doubted Zilong's loyalty?!"
Lady Mi was forced to take a few steps back by Liu Bei's terrifying gaze. "I …"
"Look around! Because of your words, the army is in a state of panic. My general was forced to use his life to prove his loyalty! And you still say that you have committed a crime?! "
Liu Bei was completely different from the tearful Liu Bei and Zhao Yun just now. At this moment, Liu Bei was exuding a murderous aura. How could Lady Mi endure this kind of interrogation? Her eyes were filled with tears as she sat limply on the ground.
Liu Bei did not press her further. He stood with his hands behind his back and said softly:
"Since we have been husband and wife for many years, I do not need you to use your life to atone for your crimes. However, there is no need for you to stay by my side. You may leave!"
When these words were spoken, Guan and Zhang could no longer stand still. They hurriedly ran forward to plead:
"Big Brother! Sister-in-law has fought alongside you for many years, drifting from place to place. She has never complained. You must not chase Sister-in-law away! "
Zhao Yun also hurriedly pleaded:
"My lord, why is this so? Everything Lady Mi said is true. It is all Zilong's fault. Please do not blame Lady Mi. Zilong is willing to accept the punishment! "
"Willing my ass!"
Zhang Fei immediately cursed and pushed Zhao Yun away, shouting angrily:
"If not for you, how could Big Brother say such things to Sister-in-law?!"
Zhao Yun stood in place, not knowing what to say.
Liu Bei's words meant that he wanted to divorce Lady Mi, but even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, these two sworn brothers, could only plead for leniency. They could not change Liu Bei's mind.
Seeing that Liu Bei was determined to chase Lady Mi away, Zhang Fei had nowhere to vent his anger, so he vented it all on Zhao Yun.
The surrounding civil and military officials also began to plead for leniency for Lady Mi, and their gazes toward Zhao Yun turned even colder.
"There is no need for all of you to try to persuade me. I have already made up my mind!"
After saying this, Liu Bei turned and left.
"Good … good!"
Lady Mi saw that Liu Bei's words were set in stone. She was so anxious that she staggered and fell to the ground unconscious.
Guan and Zhang hurried forward to help Lady Mi up. Seeing that she was still breathing, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted, "Doctor! Quickly call a doctor! "
To the side, Zhuge Liang's brows were tightly furrowed.
He had never expected that Liu Bei would end up in such a manner.
But with Liu Bei's personality, this was not strange. It was easy to find a daughter and a beautiful woman, but a good minister was hard to find.
This was especially true for a good minister like Zhao Yun, who was a one-in-a-million genius.
Other than that, any other general would be able to escape unscathed from the Cao Army's fifty thousand elite cavalry with just a thousand soldiers. Moreover, they would not be injured.
Just based on this point, Zhao Yun was able to suppress at least ninety percent of the generals!
In order to protect Zhao Yun and not disappoint him, Liu Bei could only do this!
However, compared to Lady Mi's safety, Zhuge Liang was more concerned about Bai Feng.
Bai Feng's appearance had caused so many disturbances. This time, he had even used a vicious scheme to sow discord, and the results were excellent. Putting aside what Liu Bei was thinking, the army was already holding a grudge against Zhao Yun.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang felt that he could not wait any longer.
The mastermind behind this was very likely to be related to the mysterious Mr. Bai. He had to tell Liu Bei!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang lifted his feet and rushed in the direction that Liu Bei had left.
At this time, Liu Bei was standing in front of a nameless slope, looking at the scenery in the distance. His hands were tightly clenched, and he kept beating his chest.
"My lord …"
Zhuge Liang said in a low voice:
"Kongming has something that I must say. I hope that my lord will investigate it."
Liu Bei waved his hand lightly and said: "Speak, Kongming. I will investigate it."
"My lord, have you ever thought that there is something fishy going on behind this? The thief that Lady Mi spoke of clearly does not know this person. I just asked Zilong, and this person looks extremely young. "
