"What? You have something to eat?"
Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's question, the guard and the four watchmen looked at Dong Zhuo with gleaming eyes.
Feeling a little uneasy under their gazes, Dong Zhuo quickly said, "I don't have it, but I can get it for you!"
"Really? Where can I get it?"
A look of joy flashed across the faces of several barbarian soldiers, and they quickly surrounded him, asking expectantly.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, the Han general who captured the two of you today is my sworn brother... my sworn brother. Getting some food for him shouldn't be a problem!"
The guard asked with some disbelief, "Really? If he really is your sworn brother, why don't you go back to him?"
Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes, gave the other person a look of disgust, and explained:
"Tch, you don't know anything! He didn't reveal my identity to protect me!"
If your king finds out my identity, he'll definitely use me to blackmail you, and then I really won't be able to go back.
"Hmm, that makes sense!"
The guard nodded as if he understood, then asked in confusion, "But if you tell me now, aren't you afraid I'll tell my king?"
Dong Zhuo did not answer the question directly, but instead smiled and asked in return, "Don't you want to try our roasted meat, flatbread, and our fine wine?"
In Dong Zhuo's view, these guys in front of him would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of food.
"Gulp!"
Sure enough, upon hearing Dong Zhuo's tempting words, the guard and the four watchmen unconsciously swallowed hard.
One of the guards drew a dagger and held it to the guard's neck.
"General Dong, as long as you can feed us well, I will kill him right now and make sure he doesn't reveal your identity!"
"You're right, we'll definitely keep it a secret for you!"
The other three barbarian soldiers immediately drew their swords and surrounded the guard.
At this point, they were so hungry that they had lost their minds; as long as they could get enough to eat, they wouldn't care about anything else.
"Wait!!"
The guard, regaining his senses, quickly looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "General Dong, rest assured, as long as there is food, I will absolutely not leak it!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded: "Alright, I believe you!"
Hearing this, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "General Dong, how do you plan to get the food?"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "I have a jade token in my pocket. Just take it to the gates of Lingling City and knock on the door. My sworn brother will bring you the food!"
"this......"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, then nodded, choosing to believe Dong Zhuo's words.
There's no other way; being killed is better than starving to death.
After some discussion, the guard returned to report to Qin Lin, without revealing Dong Zhuo's identity to his king.
That night.
The guard took Dong Zhuo's jade token and, accompanied by a watchman, walked out of the camp. Along the way, the guard, relying on his status, walked out of the camp unharmed.
Before long, the two arrived at the foot of Lingling City.
Seeing the torches burning on the city wall, the guard shouted, "Brothers on the city wall, please open the city gate! We have important news to tell you!"
A garrison officer asked, "Who are you?"
The guard hurriedly said, "We have come to pay our respects to General Lü on behalf of General Dong!"
"General Dong?"
The officer guarding the city's expression shifted, and he looked down at the city walls. He noticed that there were only two people on the other side, so he looked at the soldier beside him.
"Lower the basket!"
"yes!"
Several soldiers then lowered two baskets and hoisted the two men onto the city wall.
"You say you were entrusted by General Dong, do you have any token?"
Looking at the two barbarians before him, the city guard officer asked in a deep voice.
"some!!"
The guard quickly took out the jade token and handed it over.
The officer guarding the city took the jade tablet and, by the light of the fire, saw the character "Dong" engraved on it. He then nodded.
"Take them to see General Lü!"
After verifying that everything was correct, the officer returned the jade pendant to the other party.
Soon, the two barbarians were brought before Lü Bu.
Looking at the jade token in his hand, Lü Bu smiled slightly, then looked at the other person.
"Hey fat guy, what brings you here?"
The guard hurriedly replied, "Reporting to General Lü, General Dong said he is hungry and doesn't like the food we have there, so he asked us to come and ask for some food and wine!"
Lu Bu frowned: "Hmm? That's all?"
"That's...that's all!" the guard said in a trembling voice.
"Hmph, this guy never forgets about food and drink, he deserves to be a prisoner!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Bu snorted coldly and looked at the two barbarians with displeasure.
"General...?"
The two barbarians were so frightened by Lu Bu's gaze that their legs went weak, and they unconsciously knelt down.
Lu Bu immediately looked outside: "Someone come here!"
"What are your orders, General?"
The two soldiers guarding the door strode in.
"General, spare my life! General, spare my life!"
The two barbarians thought Lü Bu was going to execute them, so they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Lu Bu glanced at the two men indifferently, and his lips twitched: "Take them down, give them a good meal, and then prepare some wine and meat for them!"
Upon hearing this, the two barbarians were stunned.
This reversal came rather suddenly...
