In the study room of the prefect of Xinye, Liu Bei knelt alone in the study room, his expression unpredictable.

Sometimes a little hope flashed in my eyes, sometimes a sigh flashed with me.

Since Liu Feng left, Liu Bei has waved everyone away. It has been several hours since Liu Feng left, and Liu Bei has no meals and even ordered no one to disturb him.

Just like this, I was quietly waiting for Liu Feng to send the message back.

It was not Liu Bei who was dreaming, but Liu Feng's performance was so good. The calmness and confidence he showed made Liu Bei believe that his son could help him bring back Xu Shu, the planner.

But Liu Bei could not believe it all, so he hoped and sighed.

Here he is alone, and he can spread his feelings to the fullest, without worrying that his emotions will cause panic among his subordinates.

If Xu Shu cannot return, what should he do? The more Liu Bei thinks, the more he sighs and despairs. The more he is desperate, the more he expects Liu Feng to bring Xu Shu back.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, and Liu Bei immediately put away his unpredictable expression and looked up.

I had just ordered that there was no important matter and no one was allowed to come in to disturb me. Now the sound of footsteps sounded, and there must be something big. Liu Bei stood up.

"Lord. There is an old man who claims to be Sima Hui, who asks for his visit." The one who came in was a mighty sergeant who clasped his fists at Liu Bei.

Sima Hui and Liu Bei reacted quickly. After being stunned, he remembered who the person was. This person was a hermit in Jingzhou, with a virtuous and talented person. He was very famous and was both a teacher and a friend of Xu Yuanzhi.

Could it be that Xu Shu lost his mistake and Sima Hui was also obtained?

He was overjoyed, and Liu Bei didn't care about anything else and immediately walked out the door quickly.

Such a person should be greeted in person.

When the soldier saw Liu Bei's expression change, he knew that the visitor was a distinguished guest. He immediately felt a little regretful that he did not invite anyone in.

An old man in green clothes stood outside the main gate of the prefect's mansion.

The old man's hair was gray and obviously in his twilight years, but his face was rosy and wrinkles were rarely seen on his face. He looked like a middle-aged man.

Those who don’t understand must think they are among the gods. Those who understand will know that this old man is a master of health preservation.

This person is Sima Hui. It is rumored that he was a hermit in Jingzhou. He often interacted with Pang Degong. Although he had no backups with Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others, he was also called friends.

He has always been famous for his reputation as a person in Jingzhou.

Standing in front of the prefect's mansion, Sima Hui closed his eyes slightly, looking extremely leisurely.

This time I just passed by and came to meet my friends.

Suddenly, the gate of the prefect's mansion opened wide. A man with a heroic face came out from inside. The man raised his fist and bent over and said, "Liu Bei has met Mr. Shui Jing."

"I have met General Zuo." Sima Hui had heard of Liu Bei's ability to treat wise men and nobles. He was not surprised to see this, and he also bent down and bowed and said with a smile.

"Speak inside." Liu Bei nodded with a smile, bent over slightly, and led with one hand.

"Please." Sima Hui hugged her fists and walked in calmly.

The two of them came to the study without distinguishing between front and back. After sitting down with the host and guest, Liu Bei asked, "I don't know what happened to the sir?"

"My friend Xu Shu is a military advisor in the Left General Office. When I pass by Xinye, I come to take a look." Sima Hui explained his purpose, paused, and said a little confused: "But after I went to Xu Shu's residence, I found that the gate was closed and there was not even a guard, so I came to ask."

Liu Bei's expression immediately darkened, and he raised his fist and sighed: "Sir, come here, Xu Yuanzhi has already gone to the north."

"What? Xu Shu went to the north?" Sima Hui was shocked and his voice couldn't help but rise three points.

This was really unexpected, although not all of them were dissatisfied with Cao Cao, for example, among their friends, Meng Jian was particularly amazed by Cao Cao.

But Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi have always been close to the Han Dynasty. They also like to join Liu Bei. How could they abandon Liu Bei and go far to the north?

I can't figure it out, Sima Hui can't figure it out.

"Yesterday Cao Cao wrote a letter saying that he had accepted Xu Yuanzhi's mother and stayed in Xudu for a while. Every word hidden threats. Xu Yuanzhi was in love with his mother, so he went to the north. Cao Cao had many counselors, but I was the only one who could take the big responsibility, but I was robbed by him. It's so sad." Thinking of Xu Shu's talent, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel sad and said with moist eyes.

"So that's it." Sima Hui was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed. Xu Shu was talented, but also weak. When dating with these people, he often talked about his mother at home, which shows his filial piety.

Cao Cao plundered Xu Shu's mother, which can be said to be accused of his fatal hole.

But then, Sima Hui thought of another thing and his expression changed: "I often hear Xu Shu say that Xu's mother is a strong and has a heart-warming Han Dynasty. If he knew that Xu Shu was a military advisor under the general's tent, but was trapped by her and forced to defect to Cao Cao, Xu's mother would have had a short opinion."

"What sir said seriously?" Liu Bei's expression also changed.

Xu Shu is a filial son. If Xu's mother really committed suicide because of this, wouldn't he be heartbroken when he knew about it? Although Xu Shu went to the north, he actually drew a clear line with Liu Bei. However, his friendship was still there.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel dark.

"Cao Cao's actions will destroy Xu Shu's family and destroy others," Sima Hui sighed.

"I hope Feng'er can really bring Xu Yuanzhi back." Liu Bei couldn't help but say in a daze when he heard this.

"Feng'er?" Sima Hui asked strangely without understanding.

"That is my newly adopted son, Ming Feng. I became Xu Yuanzhi as my teacher a few days ago. In the morning, Xu Shu left in a hurry and didn't have time to meet him. Now he is chasing Xu Yuanzhi, saying that he wants to persuade him back." Liu Bei explained.

Sima Hui couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He was originally saying that someone had persuaded Xu Shu to come back. But Liu Feng was obviously not in the conditions.

"If it weren't for those who knew Xu Shu very well, knew Xu's mother's character very well, and thought clearly, it would be extremely difficult to judge that Xu's mother would commit suicide, and there would be no way to persuade Xu Shu to come back. Let the young master get along with Xu Shu for a short time, and I'm afraid that this trip would be a waste." Sima Hui shook his head and said without any hope.

Liu Bei was silent for a while after hearing this, and completely erased the little hope in his heart.

Sure enough, this matter cannot be saved by a child.

After a moment of loss, Liu Bei suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was also a hermit in Jingzhou and a friend of Xu Shu. He should have a talented man, and he left Xu Shu and got Sima Hui.

It can always make up for the losses.

Liu Bei raised his head, looked at Sima Hui hopefully, raised his hands above his head, and said, "When today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, although I am determined to save it, I have been running around for half a lifetime, but I have achieved nothing. After retreating to Xinye, I thought about it over and over again, but suddenly I had no plan to be in the tent, so I couldn't succeed. It happened that Xu Shu came to join me and helped me defeat Cao Ren. It made me ambition again, but Xu Shu joined the north and no plan to be in the tent from now on."

As he said that, Liu Bei looked at Sima Hui with sincere eyes and asked, "I wonder if sir can help the Han Dynasty with me?"
