Lu Dynasty

Chapter 573 Doubt
Liu Bei took Sha Moke and Wei Yan and left Yiji's mansion. Although Liu Bei was not sure if Yiji was someone who cared about his great cause in Shuijing mansion that night, he was still very satisfied.In Liu Bei's view, Yi Ji is a very talented person, even if he was not the one who cared about him in Shuijing Mansion that night, he is still a talent worth using.Liu Bei was really disappointed that he didn't hear about Wolong and Fengchu, but it was a reward to get Yiji's disguised allegiance.In fact, Liu Bei still hopes that the person at Mr. Shui Jing's place that night is Yi Ji!Seeing Liu Bei's satisfied and happy expression, Wei Yan asked suspiciously, "Brother, did you find out about Wolong and Fengchu?"

"No! Uncle Ji is seriously ill, how can I bother him!" Liu Bei's words made Wei Yan very puzzled, he didn't understand why Liu Bei was so happy when he didn't get the news of Wolong and Fengchu.Liu Bei looked at Wei Yan's puzzled eyes and smiled and said, "Second brother, the great cause of the world cannot be dominated by just one or two people! Even if I get Wolong and Fengchu, without you, without Jian Yong and Sun Gan, just the two of them, What can I do? Lu Feng is powerful, not only because he is powerful, but because he has gathered a group of powerful people under his command! I have my second and third younger brothers who are enemies of thousands, and Jian Yong and Sun Qian help me handle government affairs , so I need people with foresight and a big picture. That doesn’t mean I don’t need other talents! Wolong and Fengchu are talented, and Yiji is also a talented person. Even if I don’t get Wolong , Fengchu, but I have obtained the Iraqi nationality, and I have obtained a talent! Now that I have obtained a talent, I should be happy! Do you think I am right?" Wei Yan never refute Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei is wrong, Wei Yan will Will say he is right!Liu Bei was very proud when he saw Wei Yan nodding his head!

Sha Moke didn't have as many questions as Wei Yan. He saw Liu Bei and Wei Yan both smiling, so he laughed.Suddenly, Shamoke saw something white on Liu Bei's sleeve.Sha Moke said loudly: "Brother, why is there something white on your body? Let me help you brush it off!" Saying that, Sha Moke walked towards Liu Bei, pulled up his sleeve, and wanted to help him remove the white stain on the cuff shoot off.

Liu Bei stopped Sha Moke, and he raised his hand to see that there was indeed a white thing on his cuff.He pinched the white stain, pinched it with his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said, "This seems to be a powder that women use to make up. How could it be on me? I haven't touched a woman today." !” Seriously, Liu Bei is in his 40s, and only has Mrs. Gan, and Mrs. Mi, who should have been, was taken home by Tai Shici. born!

Wei Yan pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Brother, could it be that you accidentally touched the powder on Mrs. Yiji's face?"

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei said seriously: "Although I am not a modest gentleman, I also know that a friend's wife should not be bullied. This powder was smeared on the face by a woman, and Mrs. Yiji has been standing some distance away from me. , How can my sleeve touch her face? Could it be that you think I have treated her lightly?" As soon as Liu Bei said this, Wei Yan couldn't say anything more.This is not only related to Mrs. Yiji's reputation, but also Liu Bei's personality. Wei Yan dare not talk nonsense!

"Brother! Could it be on Yiji's body!" Samoke said with a smile: "You Han people like to make jokes the most, especially some literati, who often scribble something on their bodies. It's like Xuchang has a fragrant Xunling, He likes to hang sachets on his body. If these white powders are painted on Yiji's face, it will not be surprising for the elder brother to touch them!" Shamoke wanted to find a reasonable explanation for Liu Bei, but who wanted to say it by mistake? The truth!
Liu Bei laughed and said: "How is it possible! You didn't see that Uncle Ji is seriously ill and his face is pale, why should he put white powder on his face..." Liu Bei was a little suspicious before he finished speaking, these white powders can just make Yi Ji pale, and After shaking Yiji's hand, it's not surprising that I accidentally touched his face!

"Brother! When you came out at the end, did you say that the person who saw you off was Yi Ji?" Liu Bei nodded, Wei Yan thought for a while and said, "I didn't see Yi Ji, and I don't know how his condition is, but the one who saw off the guest , It’s not like someone who is sick shouted out! Could it be that Yi Ji knew something, but didn’t want to tell Big Brother, and avoided us on purpose?”

"What? No wonder every time we visit this kid, he is not at home. He has something to hide from us!" Shamoke was furious. When he heard Wei Yan say this, he was suddenly furious. Shamoke roared: " My elder brother treats him like a friend, a brother, how dare he treat my elder brother in a perfunctory manner? I'll go tie him up and let my elder brother whip him dozens of times to vent his anger!" After saying that, Shamoke was about to mount his horse and return to Yiji Mansion to arrest Yiji !
Liu Bei grabbed Sha Moke's horse and shouted: "Sir, don't be reckless. Since you know that I have a good relationship with Yiji, you should know that if it wasn't for the unavoidable, Uncle Ji would avoid me! You are so reckless If you act, it will definitely ruin my event!"

Sha Moke didn't dare not listen to Liu Bei's words, he threw his whip on the ground in frustration and said, "I thought he was a good man, but he is so hateful if he doesn't want to, so let's just let this matter go?"

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "You two virtuous brothers, go back now, and I'll go to Yiji Mansion to find out why Uncle Ji pretended to be sick!" Wei Yan and Sha Moke heard that Liu Bei wanted to act alone, so naturally they would not agree. But Liu Bei has made up his mind, so they naturally can't stop it.Fortunately, they hadn't traveled far from Yiji Mansion, and Liu Bei went back and forth very quickly.Like a snitch, Liu Bei easily sneaked into Yiji's mansion. Yiji never expected that Liu Bei would go and come back!To be honest, based on Liu Bei's hand, if he said that he had never been a thief, no one would believe him!

Once Liu Bei left, Yi Ji didn't have to pretend to be sick.He asked his servants to prepare some bath water to wash off the make-up on his body.After washing, he went back to the bedroom and sat there blankly.Thinking of Liu Bei's trust in him, Yi Ji couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.Mrs. Yiji walked into the bedroom and found that her husband was not in a good mood, and asked suspiciously: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Yiji looked at his wife and smiled wryly: "Madam, my voice was a little louder just now, I hope Madam will not be offended!" Yiji's behavior flattered his wife, even if a man in the Han Dynasty did something wrong, He rarely apologizes to his wife.However, Yi Ji is an elegant scholar, he rarely loses his composure, and it is not a shameful thing for Yi Ji to apologize for doing something wrong, let alone apologizing to his wife!
