088 The choice is difficult
According to the book, the relationship between Kong Rong and Liu Bei should be quite good, and the reason why Kong Rong was later killed was precisely because he opposed Cao Cao's attack on Liu Bei, and finally Cao Cao punished him in the name of unfilial piety, leaving a regret for the ages.
"Sir, then why don't you invite Mother Xu to Xudu?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"In my name, it is not difficult to invite Mother Xu, but in Xiangyang City today, it is even more difficult to get out, and I am afraid of revealing my identity, so I hide here." Kong Rong said.
"Is Cao Cao really going to attack Jingzhou?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Cao Gong has long planned to plot against Jingzhou, but he is not at this time, this rumor in Xiangyang City must have been done by that Cheng Yu, whose intentions are sinister, that is, to put me to death." Kong Rong said angrily.
Wang Baoyu didn't speak for a long time, he was able to help Kong Rong get out of the city, but when he thought that Xu Shu's mother would die in Cao Cao's place in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart, because if that was the case, he would become an accomplice in forcing Xu's mother to commit suicide.
"Baoyu, I have something to entrust, I wonder if I can help?" Kong Rong saw that Wang Baoyu was silent, and said hesitantly.
"What's the matter?"
"Can you take a letter out of the city and give it to my family, so that the family can stay away from Xudu and avoid being slaughtered." Kong Rong said, after speaking, he took out a money bag from his waist and handed it over respectfully.
The size of a fist, heavy, there should be a lot of silver in it, but Wang Baoyu waved his hand and excused himself, at this moment, his heart was extremely entangled, if he didn't help Kong Rong, his family was afraid that they would be killed, the law at that time was Zhulian Nine Clans, if he helped, Xu's mother would be difficult to support for the rest of his life.
Wang Baoyu weighed it again and again, but didn't make up his mind, and asked rhetorically: "Sir, if you are determined to die?" ”
"Dilemma, born at the wrong time, it is better to die and be pure!" Kong Rong said sadly: "I just don't want to affect my family and increase my sins!" ”
This one? Of course, Wang Baoyu didn't want anyone to die because of this incident, but he couldn't think of a way to do both for a while.
Kong Rong was a little disappointed, but still insisted tentatively: "Baoyu, take pity on my family, the lives of more than 100 people. I only ask you to give this letter to my family, and if anyone searches for it on the way, I can destroy it, and I have done my best, and my family will obey the fate of God! ”
Listening to Kong Rong's somewhat tragic emphasis, Wang Baoyu said in embarrassment: "Sir, it's not that I don't save me when I see death, it's just that I ......"
"Alas, a gentleman is not strong, and if he refuses to help, it is just fine, you can leave by yourself." Kong Rong took back the money bag in disappointment, and sighed again and again.
Mother Xu is just one person, but Kong Rong's family has as many as 100 people, and one person died and saved hundreds of people, perhaps, this kind of effort is also worth it.
As soon as this idea popped up, even Wang Baoyu himself was startled, feeling that he was too cruel, but if he had to die both horizontally and vertically, wouldn't this be the best choice?
At the same time, only when Xu's mother leaves, Xu Shu leaves Liu Bei, can Zhuge Liang come out of the mountain, and logically, he can return to modern times, history is like this.
Wang Baoyu kept comforting herself, thought about it again and again, and finally said with a straight heart: "Sir, I can help you lead Mother Xu out of the city." ”
"Oh!" Kong Rong's eyes lit up and asked, "What are your plans?" ”
"There's no clever plan, if you follow me, you will definitely be able to get out of the city." Wang Baoyu said that what he relied on was the token of Liu Cong in his hand.
"Mother Xu and her family members have a large number of people, and if you want to interrogate, it is easy to make mistakes." Kong Rong was not at ease.
Wang Baoyu took out the token from his waist, shook it in front of Kong Rong and said, "This is a pass token, with this thing, it can be unimpeded in Jingzhou." ”
"Where did you get this?" Kong Rong was shocked.
"Alas, let's tell you the truth, I have a relationship with Liu Biao's son Liu Cong, and it is not strange to have this thing." Wang Baoyu said.
"Then why are you helping me?" Kong Rong asked vigilantly.
"I don't belong to any gang or faction, I help you this time, I just admire Mr., Mr. can trust me." Wang Baoyu explained solemnly.
"Such a success, Rong will not dare to forget." Kong Rong didn't have a choice, bent his knees, and kowtowed to Wang Baoyu respectfully.
"The old gentleman torments me!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly helped Kong Rong up and asked, "Sir, please get up, are you here alone this time?" ”
"There are still a few followers."
"Retinue? All here? Wang Baoyu asked in surprise.
Kong Rong nodded slightly.
"In this way, let them all put on white clothes, dress up as merchants, and then call Xu's mother, and we will leave Xiangyang together." Wang Baoyu said.
Kong Rong got up and went out, knocked on the door of another house next to him, and several men in ordinary clothes walked out, but from the physical point of view, they all looked like guards, Wang Baoyu really pinched a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't leave like this just now, otherwise, maybe Kong Rong would send someone to kill him halfway.
At this time, it was completely dark, Wang Baoyu followed Kong Rong and others out of the door, only to see Fan Jinqiang already waiting in the alley with a cart, with a happy face.
"Big brother, are you cool?" Wang Baoyu asked in a low voice with a wicked smile.
"This ......" Fan Jinqiang's face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
"Hehe, what's so embarrassing about this?"
Fan Jinqiang finally blushed and said: "It's just chatting, seeing that she is pitiful, but he also gave her money." ”
"Nonsense, I don't tell the truth to my brother." Wang Baoyu said disdainfully.
"That's true."
"You didn't do anything, just chatting?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Well, this woman has a very hard life, endless bitter water, crying for a long time, I am afraid that tomorrow's eyes will be red and swollen."
Damn, this Fan Jinqiang is really pitying!
"You're a brainless person." Wang Baoyu complained, jumped on the wheelbarrow, and walked out of the alley.
Xu Shu's home is not far from here, and the group walked for about half an hour to arrive.
The economic conditions should be good, and there is also a house, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but ask Kong Rong beside him: "Old man, how can you ask Mother Xu to leave immediately?" ”
"I have already heard clearly, Xu Shu's brother Xu Kang died early, and the old man is the only son of Xu Shu, just say that Xu Shu has fled from Xinye, and now Xu Du, the old woman loves her son, and she will definitely leave immediately." Kong Rong said.
"It's not an invitation, isn't it a lie?" Wang Baoyu frowned.
"In times of emergency, we cannot walk in the right way." Kong Rong's face was ashamed.
Kong Rong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a servant came out to ask, Kong Rong said: "I am Cheng Yu, a friend of Yuanzhi, and I have come to meet the old lady." ”
