Chapter 260 Who fell into the trap?
In the governor's mansion, in a private room on the top floor of a restaurant on the central street.

Ye Feng, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, looked at the bustling state governor's mansion with people coming and going, and said with interest: "Ning'er, what do you think will happen if we also go in to congratulate?"

Zhang Ning, the beautiful Night Guard Commander in a lavender dress, was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid this will scare these three world-famous princes."

"But I won't allow you to enter the governor's mansion at this moment."

"Xu Shu, although the Kuai family wants to help you, who knows what they are up to?"

"If this is a deliberate self-torture trick, then wouldn't you be walking into a trap if you went in?"

"We are sure to win, so why take the risk?"

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head: "Do you think Xu Shu and the Kuai family are not truly surrendering?"

Zhang Ning said: "Speaking of which, welcoming you to Jingxiang is their best move. Not only can it unify the world as quickly as possible and reduce casualties, but it can also pave a way for them to be prosperous and wealthy."

"The wealth and honor within reach is much better than following Liu Bei or Cao Cao."

"But my mother and sisters asked me to keep an eye on you. There can't be any mistakes."

"So I pushed all the night guard work in other places to stay by your side. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of danger, I can't take it."

Feeling the admiration in the beauty's words, Ye Feng smiled deeply: "But I really want to meet these three people."

"When the Jingxiang incident is resolved, no one in the world will be able to be my enemy anymore."

Zhang Ning shook his head: "No, I can't take the risk myself no matter what."

"unless."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

A dark figure appeared at the door of the room: "My Lord, there is news from Jiang Xia."

"Oh?"

"tell me the story."

Night Guard lowered his voice and said, "Sun Jian raised an army of 50,000 and attacked Jiangxia directly. His purpose is unclear."

Ye Feng looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Ning'er, what is Sun Jian planning by sending his troops westwards?"

Zhang Ning frowned slightly: "Before, Sun Jian was ambitious and wanted to unify Yangzhou and resist your eastward advance."

"But now, instead of taking advantage of Liu Yao's defeat to withdraw all his strength, they are heading towards Jingxiang. This is really hard to understand."

"Could it be that he has secretly reached an agreement with some lords to send troops to help?"

"Is that Liu Bei, or Cao Cao?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Why can't you come and join us?"

"To us?"

"This"

Ye Feng asked: "Do you think it's impossible?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"If you lose again this time, you will have to unlock a posture you haven't tried before."

Zhang Ning, who was originally serious, heard this and thought about what happened in the boudoir. Her cheeks turned red and she rolled her eyes at Ye Feng: "What are you thinking about all day? How can you come up with so many tricks?"

"Are you not afraid of being found out and accused of being disrespectful of etiquette and laws, acting recklessly, and being immoral?"

Ye Feng embraced the shy beauty in his arms: "Eating and having sex is our nature, why should we be shy?"

"When I come back tonight, you must."

As night fell, guests continued to come and go in the governor's mansion.

But no matter who came, they were kept outside the door.

At first some people were dissatisfied, thinking that these servants were acting on their own. However, when they saw that people with high reputation and official titles in the city were also blocked outside, they gave up and retreated in embarrassment.

As the lights came on, Liu Bei's carriage arrived first.

Before he entered the second courtyard, Liu Biao came out to greet him: "My dear brother, you are finally here."

"It's been so painful waiting for you, brother."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Brother has ordered me to come, how dare I not come?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

The two of them walked hand in hand towards the main hall, leaving the guards on one side far behind. Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Bei lowered his voice and said, "Brother, my people have been keeping an eye on Cao Cao's camp. If there is any movement, they will attack him directly."

"But I don't have the energy to spare for the Cai and Kuai families, so..."

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if they dare to move tonight, they will surely die."

Just as the two of them were talking, a voice of announcement came from outside: "Lord Cao is here!"

Liu Biao and Liu Bei looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Cao Cao would not come, and such a war would be unavoidable.

At present, the external enemies have not been defeated yet. Ye Feng is staring at them like a tiger. He wants to reduce casualties if possible.

Outside the mansion.

Liu Bei and Liu Biao looked at Cao Cao who had dismounted from his horse and said with a smile, "It has been more than a year since we last met in Luoyang."

"Brother Meng De is still as charming as ever!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I should have met the governor before entering the city, but the army has not settled down yet. In order to prevent chaos in the city, I have to settle the military affairs first. I came here in person today because I received the invitation."

"Please don't blame me, Governor."

Liu Biao pulled Cao Cao's arm and said, "Brother Meng De, it's just a minor mistake, how could I care?"

"Let's talk inside. Let's talk inside."

As they spoke, the three of them entered the mansion together.

When we arrived at the hall, a table of delicious food had been prepared.

Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei sat around each other.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Liu Biao sighed: "There are not many people in the world today who can turn the tide and save the country from collapse."

"Almost all of the nine northern states are under Ye Feng's control."

"The only thing we can do to fight him is the natural barrier of the Yangtze River."

"But recently, there have been a lot of rumors in Xiangyang City, saying that the Cai family and the Kuai family have colluded with Brother Meng De to seize Jingxiang."

"In fact, Jingxiang is not mine, but the Han's."

"If it is for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, I am willing to give it up."

"But if someone wants my life, how can I be willing to die?"

"Brother Meng De, what do you think?"

Cao Cao was not at all flustered. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip: "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains."

"Everyone knows this truth, but they still have to jump in."

"My Lord Governor, are you going to keep me at the Hongmen Banquet today?"

Liu Biao nodded: "Only by keeping Brother Meng De can we avoid a major war."

"therefore."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Brother Xuande, what do you think?"

"If I am killed, how can you continue to live?"

"I'm afraid that Liu Biao will kill him sooner or later, right?"

Liu Bei raised his lips and said, "Yes."

“So tonight.”

"The governor needs to be patient."

Liu Biao stood there in a daze for a moment, with a look of deep shock and confusion in his eyes.

He jumped up and looked at Liu Bei and Cao Cao in disbelief: "You two."

"Have you discussed this already?"

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!!"

"Charge into the courtyard, anyone who stands in my way will die!!"

With a roar, hundreds of shadowy figures rushed directly towards the heavily guarded main hall.
