Chapter 174 Liu Bei is caught!

Liu Bei...could he be a face-controller?

The men in front of me are all of extraordinary appearance and majestic.

And... they are all quite white!

After Lu Meng rushed in, he struggled for a while and then made a decision: "Tie them all up! Others and I will go in and protect Liu Bei's wife and daughter!"

Sun Qian:???

Jian Yong:???

Mi Zhu:???

Liu Yan:???

Those who knew that Lü Meng came to attack Liu Bei, but those who didn’t know probably thought that Lü Meng came to protect Liu Bei’s family!

After Lü Meng took control of the county government, Xinye City was also overwhelmed by Cao's army.

Without the protection of the city wall, Liu Bei's army was no match for Cao's army, which was far superior to them in terms of quality and quantity. Under the leadership of Yu Jin, Cao's army easily captured Xinye in almost a short period of time.

Seeing that the battle was over, He Yan walked out of the corner and came to Yu Jin like a ghost.

"Um?"

Yu Jin was startled by the sudden appearance of He Yan: "When did Marquis Shen come here?"

"Ahem, don't worry about these details!"

He Yan looked at the procession curiously: "Has General Yu captured Liu Bei?"

Yu Jin shook his head: "No."

"Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, who were beside Liu Bei just now, tried their best to protect Liu Bei, broke out of a tight encirclement, and headed south."

He Yan was stunned: "Let him run away again?"

"Um."

Yu Jin naturally knew the pros and cons of Liu Bei's escape skills, so he was not too surprised that Liu Bei was not caught.

"How about that?"

He Yan pulled the reins of Kuaihang's horse, causing Kuaihang, who was leisurely just now, to almost break his neck.

"Zhao Yun must still be with Liu Bei! We must catch up with Liu Bei and snatch Zhao Yun back!"

Yu Jin: "Zhao Yun?"

"Um."

"Are you talking about...the Zhao Yun who was captured by me?"

"Um...ah?"

He Yan's anxious expression disappeared in an instant: "Have you caught Zhao Yun? Where is he?"

Yu Jin asked He Yan with a half-smile, "Then Liu Bei won't pursue you?"

"No more chasing! Anyway, Liu Bei is just a big gift bag. If you keep it, maybe you can get some good stuff out of it!"

The ban:???

After hearing the news that Zhao Yun had been arrested, He Yan felt relaxed and walked slowly into the Xinye County Yamen.

As soon as he entered, He Yan saw Lu Meng cursing and tearing his clothes stained with blood and sweat into pieces and stuffing them into the mouths of the tied people.

"These old men! Each one's mouth is worse than the last! I want you to scold them!"

Liu Bei's staff are all famous for their eloquence. Even if they are not as foul-mouthed as Mi Heng, they can still be as bad as Mi Heng. Let them curse at Lu Meng. No wonder Lu Meng can't stand it.

He Yan walked up to them with the steps of a victor, and then... automatically ignored them.

These people were all die-hards who were attracted by Liu Bei's charisma and followed Liu Bei through hardships. He Yanke did not have the ability to convince them in just a few words.

The best way is to kidnap him back to Xuchang and hand him over to Cao Cao or the socialite Xun Yu to slowly influence him. Anyway, the grain production in the Central Plains has increased dramatically, and they are not afraid that they will starve Boss Cao.

"take away."

After He Yan asked Lu Meng to kidnap these people, he took Xu Hu and Xu Bao to the county government office.

The entire Xinye County Government Office is no different from other county offices. At the front is the office hall, around the hall is the reception hall, and the core part is the inner room surrounded by a ring of walls.

When he came to the door of the inner room, He Yan saw that there were many flowers planted on both sides of the door, which looked exactly like the residences of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi when they were in Xuchang.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

He Yan knocked on the door politely, but the silent sound let He Yan know that he was not welcome at this time.

"The people inside should send a message to Mrs. Gan, saying that Shen Hou He Yan is leading the troops and will not do anything to them."

"Liu Bei has fled now, and Xinye has been controlled by our army. With just the few virgins in your inner chamber, you cannot stand this door!"

The words "Courtesy first, soldiers second" caused a flurry of footsteps in the inner room. After a moment, the wooden door was slowly opened, revealing Mrs. Gan's pale and weak face.

"Marquis Shen?"

"Um."

Strangely enough, Mrs. Gan had been uneasy ever since the shouts of death rang out. Especially when Cao Jun broke into the Xinye County Yamen just now, Mrs. Gan was already determined to die.

But when she heard that the general leading the troops outside was He Yan, Mrs. Gan's mood immediately calmed down, and she even felt a little happy.

Mrs. Gan opened the door gracefully and saluted He Yan: "Sinful woman Liu Gan has met Marquis Shen."

"No courtesy, and I said the sinful woman has passed."

He Yan helped Mrs. Gan up, and then walked straight into the inner room like a regular visitor.

There were indeed a lot of people gathered in the inner room. Judging by their clothes, these people included soldiers, retainers, and waiters. When they saw He Yan, they all had frightened looks on their faces.

"Marquis Shen?"

After walking a few more steps and turning behind a screen, a familiar yet uncertain voice sounded in front of He Yan.

"Yo! They're all here!"

Mrs. Mi sat on the bed, her eyes full of worry, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Liu Yue still looked sick, but there was an inexplicable flush on her face.

Liu Ying is no longer as naughty and honest as she was in Xuchang, because in her hand, she still holds a sharp blade that shines with cold light.

In addition, there is just a hemp rope hanging from the beam...

He Yan went up and grabbed the knot at the end of the hemp rope with great interest: "Are you seeking death? If it wasn't me who came, would you really want to hang yourself here?"

Liu Ying quickly shook her head and threw the sharp blade in her hand, while also throwing a pot at Liu Yue——

"My sister said it wouldn't look good if you were hanged, so she asked me to find a knife..."

"Hello!"

Before Liu Ying could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Yue, who then trotted over to pour a glass of water for He Yan: "Marquis Shen, drink some water..."

He Yan chuckled, took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Don't worry, you women will not be involved in the man's previous affairs. Since Liu Bei likes to escape, let him escape. You follow me back to Xuchang and live a good life."

When they heard the words "live a good life", the three women in the room and Mrs. Gan, who had just followed He Yan into the room, took a deep breath at the same time.

Mrs. Gan came to He Yan at this time and asked cautiously: "Does Marquis Shen know the whereabouts of Duke Xuande?"

"Most likely he ran to Xiangyang."

It's not a high probability, it's a hundred percent.

Liu Bei now has no place to go except Xiangyang.

Mrs. Gan bit her red lips: "Then... Can Marquis Shen allow us to go to Xiangyang to reunite with Duke Xuande?"

Mrs. Mi, Liu Yue, and Liu Ying all looked at He Yan, waiting for He Yan's response.

He Yan did not return to Mrs. Gan, but asked: "Do you want to go back to Xiangyang or Xuchang?"

Mrs. Gan did not hesitate at all: "I am indeed grateful to Marquis Shen for taking care of us in Xuchang, and also grateful to Marquis Shen for protecting us in the city, but..."

"But Mr. Xuande is our husband after all. He is the father of Liu Yue and Liu Ying. We will eventually return to him."

He Yan nodded: "Madam, what you said makes sense!"

Hearing He Yan's words, Mrs. Gan felt a complex emotion mixed with gratitude.

However, He Yan quickly put his arms over his head and said with a wicked smile: "But I don't agree!"

joke……

The last time Cao Cao let Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi return to Liu Bei, it was because Guan Yu protected them.

Now that even Guan Yu has been captured, He Yan naturally no longer needs to be polite to these women!

"Madam, you have also seen Liu Bei's attitude towards Sikong."
