Chapter 99 Xu You's Refusal

When Ma Su returned home, he found Xu You and a stranger here. He was uneasy and said directly: "Why is Brother Ziyi here?"

Xu You turned his head and looked at Ma Su hurriedly entering the door and asked him, Xu You replied, "We talk in the room!"

Ma Su catered to Xu You into the house. Xu You said to the stranger he brought back from Jingzhou: "Please wait for me outside. I have something to talk about with Youchang." Then he followed Ma Su into the house!

After the two sat down, Ma Su said, "Who is this person?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Young people often ask more than this question, right?"

"I went to Jingzhou to join Pang Tong. Pang Tong was extremely happy. Then he took the initiative to write a letter to King Li Zhe of Chu. When I was waiting for the reply, I went to my home to burn paper and burn incense for my parents. I happened to see my cousin, who was also burning incense for my parents."

We haven't seen each other for many years, so we sat down to chat. My cousin is Xu Huai. He has been farming at home since he was a child. After his parents died, he has conquered the world in Jingzhou. However, in recent years, the natural disasters caused people. My cousin's farmland has not been harvested for a grain of rice. This year, I happened to meet him when I went home to visit the grave to burn incense, so he asked me to pass by!

"The next day I saw the handwritten letter from the King of Chu. He asked me to help you. If you are really successful in Xuzhou, you need someone to help you deliver the letter, otherwise your news will not be delivered at all. So I asked me to help you deliver the news to Jingzhou. I want my cousin to send it, so that nothing will be revealed, and Liu Bei was so tired that he could not notice it."

"Oh, by the way, the lord lets you attract attention and lets you raise birds. He raises all kinds of birds, but he doesn't let you raise pigeons. Liu Bei in Xuzhou first doubts you and then reuses you. If the undercover senior management, he will know that we should know Liu Bei's secret!"

Ma Su was thinking at first, whether Xu You's words were true or not, but later on, this was not something that people could make up. Then he analyzed the method mentioned by the lord to make Ma Su's work easy to carry out. If Xu You stayed in Xuzhou, my work would be easy to carry out. This plan was really amazing.

After saying that, Xu You said, "I'm going to take my cousin to the inn. After I stabilize in Xuzhou, we will contact you."

Ma Su sent Xu You out of the door, and then thought about himself, why did Liu Bei not talk to me in person yet, and what did he ask me to be an official?

If they observe and test me around, they should change the time! If they change roles now, what should I do if I am Liu Bei?

Suddenly Ma Su understood, Liu Bei must have known that Xu You was back, and he must have wanted Xu You and me to serve Liu Bei together and get help from both of us!

Ma Su thought that even if Liu Bei invited me, I could only refuse to be an official, but I could be a guest of Liu Bei in Xuzhou. This would be better. When the time is right, I could find out the secret!

The next morning

Someone knocked on the door of Ma Su's house. Ma Su walked out of the house and opened the courtyard to see several people dressed in guards' costumes and said respectfully to Ma Su: "But Mr. Ma Su?"

Ma Su was confused and thought about something in his mind, so he replied, "I am Ma Su, what's the matter?"

The guard said, "I am the guard of Liu Bei and the Uncle Liu. In the morning, the lord asked me to wait for you. My lord will invite you."

When Ma Su saw that this was mandatory. Although these officers and soldiers were quite polite, they must have given me a special advice before going out. If they didn't tie them up, they would tie me up!

Ma Su said knowingly: "Everyone, let me change my clothes, come."

Ma Su went into the house and changed into clean clothes, went out, and got on the carriage. Along the way, he thought that Xu You had just returned to Xuzhou, and Liu Bei came to me. He must have known that Xu You went directly to my house after he came back, so if I asked about what happened yesterday afternoon, I can only talk about playing chess together!

When he arrived at the mansion, Liu Bei was greeting him at the mansion. No one in the Three Kingdoms can defeat Liu Bei in this skill of respecting the wise and humble!

Ma Su got off the carriage, and Liu Bei resigned to Ma Su and said, "I've been waiting for Liu Bei for a long time. Finally, I met today. I'm lucky."

Ma Su replied, "You are the lord of Xuzhou, my junior, why is the emperor's uncle here to greet you? I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

After saying a few words at the door, he entered the door. Liu Bei took Ma Su directly into the study!

After entering the study, Ma Su saw Xu You in surprise. Xu You stood up and said to Ma Su, "I didn't expect that I returned to Xuzhou yesterday and put a plate at Ma Su's house. Today I met in the imperial uncle's mansion. It's really fate." When Xu You spoke, he unnaturally saw Xu You's hand straight and five fingers deep inside! Ma Su didn't understand what it meant!

Liu Bei said to Ma Su: "Both of them are masters of chess skills. I wonder who wins and who loses the chess skills he played yesterday?"

Liu Bei had already asked Xu You about these things, and now I would like to ask Ma Su that this is the first step of testing. Ma Su suddenly realized why Xu You stretched out five fingers!

It must be referring to the fifth game of chess in their game. Ma Su smiled and said, "We can't make a move in the end and can't make it. What? Is the emperor's uncle also a chess lover?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I only love excellent chess players. They can see the opportunities in the chess game and make strategies quickly to deal with it. This is a game that requires advanced talents to play."

Ma Su went around the topic and said, "I wonder what the so-called Xu You and I were called here earlier?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei did not speak for a long time, and then stood up and said, "I, Liu Bei, are descendants of the royal family, but Cao Cao of the Han Dynasty has already supported half of the country. My great Han people should be powered to eliminate thieves and serve the country. Both of them are talented and ambitious people. Can you help me and make all the achievements for my great Han Dynasty?"

Xu You said: "I see my answer will disappoint the emperor's uncle. I was originally under Yuan Shao's account. The matter was tortuous and twists and turns, so I was unintentional to be an official. My wife and children in my family were all killed because I was an official. So now I have no intention of being an official in my heart. I just want to have a woman accompany me in the second half of my life, playing the piano, playing chess, and spend my whole life."

After hearing Xu You's words, Liu Bei felt that Xu You's life was miserable and had great ambitions, but he made himself an official and killed his wife and children. Of course, he felt emotion.

Liu Bei said: "God general has given Ziyi this talent. Does Ziyi really want to spend so much talent?"

Xu You closed his eyes and said, "You will understand your thoughts only after you have done a lot of energy. Maybe I came up with a plan that will kill tens of thousands of families. I will learn that I no longer want it. It's all blood debts, so I will pay it back sooner or later."

Liu Bei felt that Xu You had a high level of seeing through the world and having no time in the world. Liu Bei thought that Xu You was unintentional to be an official, and if he left Xuzhou and arrived in Jingzhou, Pang Tong would definitely keep Xu You. So Liu Bei also gave up on Xu You!
