In the Zhou Mufu in Xiapi City.

Jian Yong looked at everything in the house and secretly lamented that things are right but people are not.

This place used to be a place he was familiar with, but now it has a new owner.

At the same time, he was also secretly observing Zhou Xing, trying to judge from Zhou Xing's reaction whether he had been here before and whether he knew Lu Bu.

Zhou Xing, who was next to him, seemed to feel very fresh about everything in front of him since he entered the mansion. He looked around frequently and marveled secretly.

In his memory, Zhou Xing traveled all over the world, but he had never entered a large mansion like Zhou Mufu. The magnificent buildings and strict guards gave him a sense of novelty and oppression.

But he has no fear at the moment. He is only here to negotiate peace, not to declare a war.

Following the doorman to the door of the meeting hall, I saw several generals with swords hanging on their waists standing outside the door, as well as dozens of guards holding halberds, solemn and majestic.

Zhou Xing didn't know who the generals were guarding outside the door, but seeing that there were several generals sitting in the hall, he expected that these might be lower-level generals such as Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cao Xing, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

It must be in the hall.

"Keep the sword."

Just as Zhou Xing was looking left and right, making secret guesses in his mind, he suddenly saw someone reaching out to stop him.

Zhou Xing glanced at the man, handed over the sword readily, and asked with a smile: "I wonder what you call the general?"

Anyway, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are both inside. They can't defeat either of them on their own. It's useless to bring the sword in. It'll make you feel at ease if you hand it over.

"Hou Cheng."

The man answered, took the sword, took two steps back and stood still.

Sure enough, I guessed it right!

Zhou Xing followed Jian Yong inside and saw a person sitting at the head of the table. He looked about the same age as Liu Bei. He was tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes. He was majestic and domineering.

No need to guess, this must be Lu Bu, who is known as the most powerful man in the Three Kingdoms.

On the right side of the bottom, behind the first desk, sits a man dressed as a scribe, and under him, six more generals with swords sit one after another.

Opposite these people, the place where Zhou Xing and Jian Yong should be sitting is empty, with not a single table at all.

Jian Yong looked at the place where the table was supposed to be, and frowned, but didn't say a word.

Zhou Xing bowed his hand to Lu Bu, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is General Lu very short of money and food?"

Lu Bu was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Why did you say this?"

"If this were not the case, how could there not even be a table to entertain guests?"

"The envoy of a defeated army does not deserve a seat."

A general sitting at the end suddenly said loudly.

Zhou Xing turned to look at the man and laughed: "Haha, Xuzhou is a place that treats visitors well. A defeated general can still live in peace, but how can the envoy of Rangzhou be without a seat!"

"You are looking for death!"

The man stood up suddenly and drew his sword at the same time.

"Wei Yue, sit down."

Lu Bu gave a soft drink, and the man looked at Zhou Xing with hatred, but he had to put the knife back into its sheath and sit down again.

"Come, set up a table and serve drinks." Lu Bu ordered, and someone immediately accepted the promise outside the door.

In fact, among the princes in various states, Lu Bu had the most favorable impression of Liu Bei, because they both came from the northern border areas and neither had a prominent family background.

Liu Bei's reign as King Jing of Zhongshan was nothing to the people at that time. Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, Liu Zhang, and even Liu Ye were all closer to the emperor than him.

But a good impression is a good impression, and you will still cheat when you should. In the face of interests, father and son are still fighting, let alone just having a good impression.

Perhaps because of this, after Lu Bu occupied Xiapi, he "loved the generals and their wives" and did not have any evil thoughts towards Liu Bei's Mrs. Gan. He even sent guards to prevent his subordinates from getting into trouble.

"Thank you, general." Zhou Xing thanked Lu Bu.

Zhou Xing doesn't have a good impression of Lu Bu, but he doesn't dislike him that much either.

Although Lu Bu repeatedly betrayed and killed his so-called foster father, Ding Yuan, under the command of the general He Jin, burned Mengjin, the city was illuminated by fire, and allowed thousands of soldiers to become thieves in Hanoi. He was known as the "Black Mountain Uncle", so he deserved his death.

Not to mention Dong Zhuo, he was responsible for all the chaos in the late Han Dynasty. Lu Bu killed him, which can be considered an achievement.

"How to call the envoy?"

Lu Bu looked at Zhou Xing, feeling his awe and fearlessness, and couldn't help but sigh in slight admiration.

"Jian Yong, named Xianhe, is a guest in General Liu's tent." Jian Yong introduced himself first.

"Zhou Xing, whose courtesy name is Wensheng, is from Xiapi." Zhou Xing continued.

"You are from Xiapi? Who in your family is an official?"

Lu Bu won Xuzhou and knew that if he wanted to establish himself in Xuzhou, he would have to get the support of the local aristocratic families.

Hearing that Zhou Xing was from Xiapi, and feeling that he was not an ordinary person, and that Liu Bei had sent him here, maybe someone in his family had served as a minister or governor, so he quickly asked.

"My grandfather can see Zhou Mu at any time." Zhou Xing said calmly.

He is right, but he is his grandfather in his previous life. Not to mention the level of state pastor, even the level of king can be seen at any time. Of course, it is only visible.

At this time, not only Lu Bu, but also Chen Gong, who had been sitting quietly and watching, changed his expression, and looked at Zhou Xing with a little more respect.

"Who is the ancestor of your family?" Chen Gong asked. He believed that he knew a lot about famous people in the world. In Xiapi, Xuzhou, he could always see the people of Zhoumu besides Chen, and he could not think of anyone else.

"The ancestor of the family is deceased, so don't mention it."

Zhou Xing doesn’t want to talk anymore, it would be better to keep a little mystery.

Chen Gong lowered his head and pondered, but Jian Yong looked at Zhou Xing in surprise, knowing that what the other party said was a lie, he couldn't help but frown secretly. However, he was also secretly happy at the same time, at least it meant that Zhou Xing and Lu Bu really didn't know each other.

"Haha, please take a seat. I wonder what brings you here today?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Rangzhou." Zhou Xing replied with a smile.

After Jian Yong found out about Zhou Xing's nonsense, he was afraid that he would make up some more lies. When he was about to answer, he was still a step too slow.

Hearing what Zhou Xing said at this time, he was secretly shocked and quickly winked at the other person, trying to remind him to speak properly.

"Give the state?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Xing with confusion, thinking that he heard wrongly.

"Yes, General Liu will give Xuzhou to General Lu." Zhou Xing affirmed.

"Hahaha, Xuzhou is ours now, what can Liu Bei give to us?" the general sitting next to Wei Yue laughed.

"Really?" Zhou Xing glanced at the man and guessed that he might be Cheng Lian, "A few months ago, General Liu was sitting here. He thought the same way at the time. He thought Xuzhou was his. Who could

It can’t be taken away either.”

"Humph, what if Liu Bei doesn't give in?" Wei Yue snorted coldly.

Zhou Xing looked at Lu Bu, smiled slightly, and said: "To be honest, Xuzhou is easy to capture but difficult to defend. General Liu no longer wants to stay here. If General Liu is not willing to give it to you, he will give it to General Yuan Gongli. When the time comes,

, we will join forces with General Yuan to attack. By the way, there is also Cao Cao. Cao Cao attacked Xu twice and was determined to win. Moreover, he has an old grudge with General Lu. If there is an opportunity, he will definitely lead his troops. Let me ask General Lu.

, can you defend Xuzhou?"
