Chapter 44: Jade Seal

Liu Bei led Chen Xi and the others back to camp with a content expression, and happened to see Cao Cao leaving with an angry expression.

"Cao Cao, how are you." Liu Bei dismounted and greeted Cao Cao. Liu Bei had a good impression of Cao Cao, who had sacrificed his life to pursue Dong Zhuo. After all, he still retains loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

"Liu Bei, alas, to think the coalition would end up like this." Cao Cao said with sad emotion, "All the people in the camp are singing and dancing at the banquet right now. Who else remembers the previous covenant!"

"Cao Cao lets talk. You and I have a lot of exchanges. As for the coalition, to be honest, if Chen didn't want me to stay and watch the show, I would have now returned to Taishan County." Liu Bei looked very gentlemanly.

"Alright, but this is not the place to talk. You and I will go to the rear camp and make a fuss." Cao Cao said with a wry smile. He was ridiculed when he came back because he had chased Dong Zhuo alone. He turned his head and left. Now that he had met Liu Bei, he calmed down after some words, and was naturally happy to see the excitement Liu Bei was talking about.

Chen Xi knelt helplessly behind Liu Bei on the left side, listening to the conversation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The two guys talked about what they likes and dislikes. They both rose up to the position of warlords. The two people who became warlords have similarities in many aspects. Of course, after becoming the warlords, the two people's interests are also similar.

"I didn't think Liu Bei's men to be so capable, and actually gathered up the Xiliang Tieqi brought by Lu Bu." Cao Cao heard Liu Bei quickly picking up the embarrassed Xiliang Tieqi after he left, and felt slightly envious.

"Hahaha, Cao Cao looked at me very highly. But this is not my power, but the power of Chen Xi." Liu Bei laughed, but he did not expect that he was considered to have a strong army. He then smiled and explained to Cao Cao some of Chen Xi's plan.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more surprised he was. In the end, he couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud. The plan was extremely simple, but he firmly held back the suspicion between Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru. He gain Lu Bu trust step by step, and finally exploded his suspicion.

"I underestimated Chen Xi." Cao Cao smiled and said, but his face was a bit bitter. He remembered Chen Xi's behavior at the beginning of the alliance, and later when Chen Xi wandered around the camps of the warlords. It was obvious. At that time, Chen Xi seemed to be looking for his next home.

"Cao Cao doesn't have to be like this." Chen Xi said calmly, a little curious about the strange scene now. Maybe the next time they meet, the two will meet each other in battle, and he doesn't know if he can leave some affection. Chen Xi still admire Cao Cao. If he is not sure not to let Cao Cao not become suspicious of him, it would be the best choice to join Cao Cao's side.

"Big brother!" At this moment Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed in and said loudly, "Big brother, go to the main camp, something serious is happening!"

"Why are you two so flustered?" Liu Bei asked somewhat depressed.

Just now Liu Bei wanted to chat some more, but now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed in. Didn't this show that he was not strict? However, Liu Bei was not dissatisfied with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if his brother had a disrupted them, but he was a little depressed.

"Big brother, it is not good. It is rumored in the camp that Sun Jian got the Jade Seal, and he is now hiding it. The leader is sending someone to inform Sun Jian to go to the main camp. Big brother, you should also hurry up!" Zhang Fei said in a panic.

"What?" Liu Bei was taken aback and stood up directly. Then he remembered that Cao Cao was beside him. He turned to look at Cao Cao and found that he also stood up in anger. Well, he became a big brother. [Brother, please forgive me, I am not trying to be rude.]

"Cao Cao, I also really want to know the truth. Let's go to the main camp to see what happened!" Liu Bei took a deep breath and calmed his anger and said.

"Okay, but I would like to ask Liu Bei to wait a moment. I'll soon come back and go!" After Cao Cao said, he cupped his hand and left quickly.

"Don't worry Liu Bei." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It must be true about the jade seal. You weren't notify because Liu Bei was the only Han family clan among the people left. They can't do it in front of you."

"Chen Xi, you can still laugh! What do they want to do! Swallow the Jade Seal? Do they still put the Han Dynasty and the emperor in their eyes?" Liu Bei said angrily, "The jade seal is the most important thing in the country. It must be turned over to the country and returned to the hand of the emperor!"

"Return to the hand of the emperor? The emperor is still in Dong Zhuo's hands? Even if the jade seal get sent back, it can't get to the emperor's hand. Liu Bei calm down a bit. Li Ru's second bait is the jade seal. If Luoyang is to let the coalition complete the agreement of the previous alliance oath and stop it from moving forward, then the jade seal is to divide the coalition forces, causing the coalition forces to split and swing their swords against each other! And they pulled off the shameless cloth of the Han room!!" Chen Xi said without shyness.

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then sat on the couch stiffly. After a long time he turned his head to Chen Xi and asked, "Chen Xi, is it possible for me to get the jade seal?" Then he explained as if he was thinking of something. "I mean, can I keep the jade seal until one day the emperor is rescued?"

"Impossible, at least not now." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Sun Jian will definitely not hand it over, and Sun Jian will probably be killed. The jade seal is a bait, a seemingly sweet bait."

"Li Ru sees farther than everyone in the main camp, because he knows that the jade seal is just a seal. If one day he can sweep the world like Emperor Qin, the jade seal is nothing more than a jewel in the hands of other people, and it will come back sooner or later. If he is pushed flat by others, this thing will also be taken by others. It is better to throw it out now and squeeze out every value. Similarly, if the jade seal is ruined, and he sweep the world at that time, someone will offer a new Heshibi, and the jade seal will be rebuilt!" Chen Xi saw that Liu Bei was still struggling and explained helplessly. He couldn't understand, why a broken stone worth the fight?

Is the jade seal really important? Chen Xi didn't feel that way. At best, he felt that it was a pity that the Heshibi which was carved into a beautiful seal that should be properly stored, and would be well collected later on was wasted like this.

Does Qin Shihuang really lack such a seal? What a joke? The emperor, who swept the six land and pacified the eight wilderness, needs a seal to prove his merits and identity? What a joke, he could have used bricks to carve one that everyone must recognize.

If the one who got the jade seal wins the world, then Dong Zhuo still needs to toss so much? Similarly, how could the second Qin emperor, the owner of the jade seal, be killed by Zhao Gao? The jade seal can't represent the world, it's a token at best. When your identity doesn't need any prefix, it doesn't matter whether or not you have it. If you lose it, you just recreate it. Why bother to ask for vain? Chen Xi is puzzled.
