Chapter 1736 The Growing Zhu Di
Chapter 1734: The growing Zhu Di
Zhu Di had a different kind of emotion towards Guan Yu. When he was in the most critical moment of his life, it was Guan Yu who helped him through the biggest crisis, so he was grateful and respectful to Guan Yu.
Zhu Di cared about Guan Yu even more than his late father. Zhu Di personally took care of Guan Yu's food, drink, toilet, and sleep. All he did was to completely control his heart to prevent him from leaving.
But Zhu Di never expected that he would be so devoted to Guan Yu, and eventually Guan Yu would leave him and go to Liu Bei who had nothing, which also made Zhu Di feel betrayed.
Guan Yu's leaving without saying goodbye was enough to make Zhu Di angry, but what made Zhu Di even more angry was that Xu Shiji not only did not stop him, but allowed him to leave while also interceding for Guan Yu.
Who is Xu Shiji? He is the Governor of Zhu Ming and holds nearly half of Zhu Ming's military power. Is it possible that he cannot figure out Zhu Di's thoughts?
Of course not possible.
But Xu Shiji clearly knew what Zhu Di was thinking, but still chose to let Guan Yu go and intercede with Guan Yu. This also made Zhu Di angry as never before.
Fan Zeng saw Zhu Di's expression and knew what he was thinking at this time. No one understood this adopted son better than him.
Zhu Di has never been a good man and a believer. He was sincere to Guan Yu, but what he gained was betrayal. Therefore, no matter how great Guan Yu's contribution was, Zhu Di must have murderous intentions at this time.
“Di’er, are you still angry about Guan Yu’s departure?”
Fan Zeng walked over slowly and asked softly: "Then why don't you go and chase Guan Yu back?"
Zhu Di raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Father, the Central Plains is so big, who knows which path Guan Yu will take?"
“My father knows it.”
Fan Zeng Fusu chuckled.
"real?"
A trace of disbelief flashed across Zhu Di's face. After all, he didn't even know where Guan Yu was going, let alone which way Guan Yu would take. How could he guess the path Guan Yu was taking?
Fan Zeng's eyes were full of determination, and he said unhurriedly: "Guan Yu would betray me, the Ming Dynasty, just to find Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is far away in Luoyang.
Although there are many roads from Huaibei to Luoyang, they must pass through the two states of Yan and Henan. Our country and Song and Wei are still at war, and most of the roads have been closed, so the only way Guan Yu can go is... "
Before Fan Zeng finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he suddenly realized: "My child understands. If you put it this way, is it too late to catch up now?"
After saying that, Zhu Di suddenly stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "Whoever comes, please immediately send an order to General Xiang Zhuang, Niu Mowang and Xia Luqi, asking them to lead a thousand cavalry and accompany me to chase Guan Yu back." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di was about to walk out, but Fan Zeng said: "Wait a minute."
Zhu Di stopped and looked at Ya's father with doubts. Fan Zeng continued: "Di'er, you should catch up now. Although you can definitely catch up, what about after you catch up?"
Zhu Di didn't even think about it and said directly: "Of course I want to persuade Guan Yu to come back."
Fan Zeng shook his head: "Since Guan Yu left without saying goodbye, he must have made up his mind. Even if you try to persuade Di'er in person, I'm afraid you won't be able to change his mind."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he said angrily: "Then kidnap him back by force."
Fan Zeng shook his head again: "Guan Yu is a loyal man. Even if you can forcefully tie him back, you will only get his body, but you will not be able to convince him."
Hearing this, Zhu Di staggered and almost fell to the ground. He naturally knew what Fan Zeng said, but he just didn't want to face it for a while, but now he had to face it.
It doesn't make much sense to forcibly tie Guan Yu back. After all, Guan Yu has already made up his mind to leave, and forcefully tieing him back will not return him to his past. Zhu Di wants Guan Yu to work for him, not Guan Yu who is a walking corpse.
"What should we do? Just let Guan Yu leave? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
As he spoke, a hint of sinisterness flashed across Zhu Di's face, and he said coldly: "What I can't get, Liu Bei can't get it either."
“Stop saying stupid things.”
Fan Zeng violently patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said with a serious face: "My father will not give you any more advice on this matter. You immediately lead people to chase Guan Yu and think about it carefully on the way. How to deal with Guan Yu, I look forward to your decision as a father."
Zhu Di was thoughtful when he saw this, and immediately led three generals, Xiang Zhuang, Niu Mowang and Xia Luqi, and a thousand cavalry to pursue Guan Yu.
On the other side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others escorted Mrs. Gan to leave Huaibei and headed towards Luoyang.
Since the Song and Wei Dynasties were still at war with the Ming Dynasty, most of the roads had been blocked and could no longer be walked, so Guan Yu could only take the remote Mangdang Mountain.
Since the road is difficult to walk, the speed is naturally not fast. Seeing this, Guan Yu couldn't help frowning and said: "Third brother, is this road safe? Will Zhu Di catch up?"
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said confidently: "Second brother, don't worry. Even if Zhu Di wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that we would leave from Mangdang Mountain..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei was completely stunned. He saw a group of cavalry waiting quietly in front of him, and the leader was none other than Ming Wang Zhu Di.
At this time, Guan Yu was not in the mood to blame Zhang Fei for his carelessness. Seeing that Zhu Di was accompanied by Niu Mowang and Xia Luqi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hearts suddenly thumped, and they both knew that this time it would be difficult to be kind.
Guan Yu whispered to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, take good care of my sister-in-law. We will rush together later."
“Yeah.” Zhang Fei nodded heavily.
Just when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought that Zhu Di was coming to chase them, Zhu Di broke away from the cavalry alone and shouted to Guan Yu: "Brother Yun, an old friend has come to see me off."
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
Aren’t you here to arrest them?
Guan Yu rode forward and came to Zhu Di. Niu Mowang and Xia Luqi, two generals behind Zhu Di, were worried that Guan Yu would take the opportunity to harm Zhu Di, so they stepped forward to protect Zhu Di at the same time.
"Both generals, please go down, Yun Chang will not harm me." Zhu Di said.
"But…"
Niu Mowang was a little worried. Zhu Di immediately glared and said, "This is a military order."
…诺.”
Niu Mowang and Xia Luqi had no choice but to retreat, leaving Guan Yu and Zhu Di alone. However, before leaving, they glared at Guan Yu fiercely.
After Niu Mowang and the two generals retreated, Zhu Di bowed his hands to Guan Yu and asked: "Yun Chang, even if you want to leave, why did you leave without saying goodbye? In your heart, am I, Zhu Di, a villain who can't keep his word?" ?”
