Old Liu was chatting happily with an old man and a young man in Zhao Yun's house. Before he knew it, it was already noon. The old village chief went to prepare lunch. Old Liu originally wanted to take out the wine, but he thought about it and decided to wait for Tong Yuan to arrive before drinking.
Today, he had his first meal since he came to the Three Kingdoms. As Zhao Yun's elder brother was doing business in Zhending County, the Zhao family was relatively rich. They had a good meal. There were pancakes, stir-fried vegetables, and even a plate of sliced pork. However, the taste was not very good. Fortunately, Old Liu did not have high expectations for food, so he still ate very well. At the same time, he drank the wine of the Han Dynasty. To be honest, it was similar to the rice wine now, but the alcohol content might be a little higher. It didn't taste spicy.
Old Liu was a big drinker, and he drank the most from the Niulanshan Erguotou in Beijing. It was 56 degrees Celsius. When he had a party with his friends, he could drink seven or eight taels. Therefore, Old Liu drank two big bowls of Han Dynasty wine, but he did not feel that he had drunk too much. Seeing how bold and forthright Old Liu drank, the old village chief, who was not good at drinking, was amazed.
After lunch, the old village chief asked Old Liu to take a break. However, it was not convenient for him to dress like this all the time. He had to do as the locals did. Therefore, Old Liu asked the old village chief where he could buy clothes nearby.
"To buy clothes, you have to go to Zhen Ding County. However, I have clothes for my eldest grandson, Zhao Sheng, at home. His figure is about the same as yours.”
After thanking the old village chief, Old Liu changed into Zhao Sheng's clothes from inside out. The old village chief even found him a hairpin to tie his hair up. Although coarse clothes were very uncomfortable to wear, at least Old Liu now looked no different from a Han Dynasty person.
He didn't have much money to pay the old village chief. Old Liu quickly took a gold ring from his finger and planned to give it to the old village chief as money for his clothes.
Seeing Old Liu's ring that weighed more than ten grams, the old village chief hurriedly refused,"This ring of yours is enough to exchange for two oxen. This old man only entertained you for a meal and gave you a set of old clothes.”
Seeing that the old man was determined not to accept it, Old Liu had no choice but to take off the string of obsidian Buddha beads he was wearing and planned to give it to Zhao Yun. This made the old village chief even more surprised. He quickly said to Old Liu,"This is a priceless treasure. How can you give it to a child? My eldest grandson is in the jewelry business in Zhending City. Therefore, this old man thinks that this string of beads can at least buy a big house in the county town.”
Previously, Old Liu thought that all his cash and cards had become useless and that he had become a pauper. However, after hearing the old village head's words, he immediately recalled that those crystals and glassware in his car had become priceless treasures. Thinking of this, Old Liu felt pretty happy.'I must make good use of those things. Perhaps, they will be my capital for conquering the world in the future.'
Since Zhao Yun's elder brother was in the jewelry business, he would first take some crystal glass accessories and ask the old village chief to think of a way to send them to Zhao Sheng's shop to exchange for some gold and silver as his capital.
Seeing how determined their grandfather and grandson were…
Since he didn't want to accept his gift, Old Liu didn't insist anymore. He thought to himself that after a while, he would go to the car and get a small pendant that was only worth one yuan. He would give it to Zhao Yun, and they probably wouldn't be able to refuse.
His phone was useless now. In order to save battery, Old Liu took out his phone and turned it off. Looking at Old Liu's phone, the Zhao family's grandfather and grandson's brains almost crashed. Afraid that they would ask again, Old Liu quickly put his phone into his backpack. Fortunately, his watch was a mechanical watch and did not need batteries. Otherwise, it would become useless in less than two years.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Zhao Yun happily shouted that her master had returned and ran into the courtyard. Old Liu controlled his excitement and hurriedly went out of the house. He wanted to see what this famous spear god of the Three Kingdoms looked like.
He saw an old man with a thin face standing in the courtyard. He looked to be in his fifties. There were three long strands of beard under his chin, and his eyes were bright. He looked like a Taoist.
Seeing Tong Yuan looking at him, Old Liu hurried forward and bowed."I am Liu Bei from Zhuo County, also known as Liu Bei. I have long heard of Mister Tong's name.”
Now that Old Liu had changed into Zhao Sheng's clothes, there was nothing strange about his appearance. Moreover, Liu Bei was indeed handsome and talented. Coupled with Old Liu's maturity, he exuded a kind of charm that made people feel as if he was an old friend.
"Xuande, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just a warrior, I don't deserve such a big bow.”
At this moment, the old village chief also came out. Seeing that the two of them already knew each other, he did not introduce them anymore and invited the two of them into the house.
After everyone sat down, Tong Yuan asked Old Liu why he was here. Old Liu told Tong Yuan what he had told the old village chief.
Tong Yuan had been wandering in Jianghu all his life and had seen countless people. Of course, he could tell that Liu was extraordinary. At this time, Zhao Yun told his master about the competition between him and Liu. Tong Yuan looked at the old village head and the old village head nodded at him. Tong Yuan couldn't help but be more curious about Liu. Although Liu Bei looked talented, he didn't seem to have practiced martial arts. I'm confident that although my last disciple's martial arts have not reached the great success stage, ordinary generals are no match for him. Could it be that this Liu Bei was an expert who hid himself?
"Has Xuande ever practiced martial arts?" asked Tong Yuan.”
Old Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said to Tong Yuan," Although I have been instructed by my mother to study literature since I was young, and I have also taken the current high official Lu Zhi as my master, I have always been fond of martial arts. It's just that I have never received any guidance from a master, so I only know how to put on a show. When I fought with Zhao Yun just now, I only reacted subconsciously in a moment of desperation. Up until now, I still don't know how I won.”
Seeing that Old Liu didn't seem to be lying, Tong Yuan said,""In that case, can Xuande exchange blows with this old man?”
Old Liu thought that he was no match for Gun God. However, if he continued to refuse, he was afraid that others would think that he was pretending. Therefore, he said to Tong Yuan,"Since Elder Tong (who is not the young maiden of Tianshan described by Jin Yong) said so, then I'll have to offend you. However, I know nothing about weapons. We're just sparring with our fists and legs. I hope that Elder Tong's subordinates will stay..."
Love."
The reason why Old Liu said this was because Old Liu had practiced Taiji Fist in the past due to his physical condition. Moreover, he could still pose.
The few of them came to the courtyard. The two of them stood facing each other. Old Liu cupped his fists and said," Please advise me, Old Tong."”
"Alright, I will stand here. Xuande, you can attack as you wish.”
At this moment, Old Liu didn't have any scruples. He thought of the moves he had practiced before and naturally performed the moves of Taiji Fist. As Old Liu's body had been transformed by time travel, he was much different from ordinary people. Therefore, he could perform Taiji Fist very well. Moreover, due to the increase in strength, he felt more comfortable when he used it.
Since Tong Yuan had asked him to attack, Old Liu knew that his kung fu was much weaker than Tong Yuan's. Therefore, he did not hold back and used the Seven Stars Step.
Taichi was supposed to be slow, but Old Liu was now very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Tong Yuan. Tong Yuan, who had never seen such a move before, could not help but be shocked. Although he could not say that he knew all the martial arts of the sects in the world, he had a basic understanding of them. However, he had never seen the move used by Liu Bei before.
Although he was shocked, Tong Yuan did not stay idle either. He dodged Old Liu's attack sideways and kicked his left foot at Old Liu's abdomen. Old Liu hurriedly pressed his palm with a move of Empty Step. Both of them met with each other's legs and palms. Old Liu was not affected by it. Tong Yuan believed that even if Old Liu knew some moves, his Internal Strength would not be very good, so he did not use his Internal Strength. It was not because he was arrogant, but because he was afraid of hurting Old Liu. Old Liu thought that he was competing with Spear God, so he naturally used his full strength. When the two of them came into contact, Tong Yuan said, Old Master Tong was in big trouble.
Old Liu's palm hit Tong Yuan's shin. Although it wasn't fractured, it still hurt Tong Yuan so much that he almost fell to the ground. Old Liu, who had gotten the upper hand, wasn't done yet. He moved to Tong Yuan's side with a horse stance. Before Tong Yuan could react, Old Liu's crotch moved and knocked Tong Yuan to the side. He took a few steps back. Seeing that Old Liu had caught up with him again, Tong Yuan hurriedly shouted,"Xuande, stop. Who taught you this kung fu?”
Old Liu naturally stopped when he heard Tong Yuan's question." Old Tong, I learned this from an expert when I was doing business overseas. However, I've only learned a little bit and I'm far inferior to that expert.”
Old Liu's words were unintentional, but it was like a clap of thunder in Tong Yuan's ears. All these years, he had always thought that his martial arts had reached a level where he could look down on all the mountains in the Great Han Dynasty. Only Wang Yue was on par with him. However, from what Liu Bei had said today, that expert's martial arts were so high that even Tong Yuan could not catch up to him. Even the Liu Bei in front of him was no match for him. It was laughable that he had just stood there and let the other party attack.
Old Liu stood there and saw Tong Yuan's expression change. He hurried forward and said,
"Elder Tong must have offended me just now. Perhaps Elder Tong has never seen my martial arts before, which is why I was lucky enough to succeed.”
After all, Tong Yuan was an expert of his generation. He calmed down and thought for a moment. He already had a few moves to break Old Liu's attack. Moreover, he had indeed lost lightly just now…
Dihe was shocked. Now that he heard Old Liu say this, he couldn't help but admire Old Liu's opinion a little more.
Tong Yuan was a martial arts fanatic. Now that he understood the principle, he hurriedly pulled Old Liu and asked him to demonstrate this set of fist technique. After Old Liu finished demonstrating his 42 forms of Taiji Fist, Tong Yuan was already shocked. He no longer cared about his identity as a martial arts grandmaster. He started to discuss the mysteries of Taiji Fist with Old Liu one move at a time. After all, Old Liu was a grandmaster level expert. By the time the sun set, Tong Yuan had almost learned Taiji Fist. Additionally, he had a better understanding of the fist technique. It was much higher than Old Liu.
When the two of them competed again, Old Liu was no longer Tong Yuan's match. However, after half a day of sparring, Old Liu had benefited a lot. He had already entered the threshold of martial arts through the exchange with Tong Yuan. Their competition had also allowed Zhao Yun, who had been watching from the side, to make great progress. He believed that in a few years, Zhao Yun's martial arts would reach great success.
Although the two of them were still a little reluctant to finish, the old village chief had already prepared dinner and called them in for dinner.
Old Liu quickly took out the packets of instant noodles from his backpack and asked Zhao Yun to take a clay pot. He put the noodles in it and opened the seasoning bag. Then, he poured half a jar of boiling water into it and covered it.
Then, he opened a few bags of pickled vegetables and spiced peanuts and placed them on a plate. Then, he took out a bottle of Erguotou wine and opened the cap with his Swiss army knife. Immediately, the fragrance of wine spread out. Old Liu poured a bowl for Tong Yuan, the old village chief, and himself. The bottle of wine was also empty. Then, he raised the bowl and said to the old village chief and Tong Yuan,
This was a good wine that he had obtained overseas. He invited Old Tong and the old village chief to have a taste.
Tong Yuan was still fine, but the old village chief drank a big mouthful of wine like he usually did. It was a big deal. He felt as if a ball of fire had gone down his throat and into his stomach, choking the old village chief until tears streamed down his face. However, when he recovered, he still shouted out " Good wine " and then fell to the ground, drunk.
Old Liu and Tong Yuan hurriedly carried the old village chief to the bed beside them and settled him down. Then, they slowly started to drink together.
Of course, he didn't forget Zhao Yun. Old Liu asked him to scoop out a bowl of instant noodles and put some pickled vegetables in his bowl.
After taking a sip of Erguotou, a mouthful of pickled vegetables, and a few peanuts, Tong Yuan said to Old Liu,""Xuande, I've drunk countless fine wines in my life, but today I finally know what good wine is. I see that many of the things Xuande brought with him are not ordinary.”
"Yes, these things are indeed not produced by our Great Han Dynasty. They were all obtained when we were doing business overseas.”
After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, the two of them no longer restrained themselves and began to talk more. Tong Yuan said,"This old man has seen many people in my life, but this is the first one I can't see through like Xuande. Is there anything else Xuande hasn't told me?”
Old Liu thought to himself that this person was shrewd and Ma Lao was indeed slippery. However, he could not tell the truth. He would continue to make an issue out of Liu Bei.
"Elder Tong, it's not that I didn't tell you the truth, but there are some things that I can't say. But since Elder Tong asked, I will definitely answer truthfully.
I'm the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty. However, I lost my father when I was young and my family started to decline. I used to make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. When I was fifteen, I became a disciple of Zeng Luzhi. After my mother passed away two years ago, I began to wander outside and went overseas to do business with a few good friends. I only came back this year. I didn't dare to tell anyone about my relationship with the Han Dynasty because no one could prove it. Today, Elder Tong insisted on asking, so I told you the truth.”
"Since he is a relative of the Han clan, Liu Bei should think of a way to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan as soon as possible. He should find a part-time position and contribute to the Han Dynasty.”
"I thought so too. I came back this time because I wanted to reach Luoyang as soon as possible and see if I could be accepted by the Imperial Family. But now, it seems that without someone speaking up for me, it will be very difficult to achieve.”
The two of them then talked about the current situation in the world. Old Liu's views made Tong Yuan feel that Old Liu was a genius in both literature and martial arts. Although he knew some Taiji Fist and bare-handed fighting, he knew nothing about using heavy weapons on the battlefield. However, his foundation was very good. He had fast reflexes, fast speed, and extraordinary strength. Tong Yuan could help him and teach him how to use a set of weapons so that he could become a brave general on the battlefield.
"If Xuande doesn't give up, I can help him forge a weapon. I have a few divine weapons in the cave on my mountain. You can come back with me tomorrow to see what kind of weapon is suitable for you.”
Old Liu was naturally more than happy to have such a good thing. He quickly stood up and thanked Tong Yuan.
The two of them were almost done drinking. Zhao Yun had already finished the can of instant noodles. Seeing that the two of them were drinking happily, she secretly tasted the remaining Erguotou in her grandfather's bowl. In the end, she fell asleep on the ground just like her grandfather.
