On the second day, the news that he was going to take up his post in Wei County spread throughout the plains. Pingyuan City started to operate like a machine. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others began to pack up the provisions and equipment. Jian Yong began to organize the county affairs while Meng Yi commanded.
Other people had taken up the post alone, but now it was different. There were 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there was also a lot of food and equipment.
However, this was nothing to Meng Yi.
"Fourth brother, big brother really can't bear to part with this plain.”Liu Bei sighed.
"Big Brother, do you still remember what I said to you back then?”
"Of course big brother remembers. Fourth brother wants big brother to become the governor of Jizhou within a year, but fourth brother, this foolish brother wants to know why you are so confident?”
In fact, this was something that Liu Bei had been thinking about for a long time, but he still could not understand what Meng Yi had to rely on. After all, he and Meng Yi had both been born in hardship. The Imperial Court had nothing to do with them at all. Why would the Imperial Court give Jizhou to Liu Bei? On the other hand, Han Fu had Yuan Kui as a backer. If he were to become the governor of Jizhou, he would probably have to move to Han Fu. That would offend Yuan Kui. The Yuan family had four generations and three dukes. It was not easy to get along with them.
" Big brother, we still have to wait for an opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, I will have a way." Meng Yi was full of confidence, but he still kept him in suspense.
" You are always so mysterious." Liu Bei chuckled.
"Big brother, if everything in this world is known, what's the point of living?”
When Liu Bei heard this, he fell into deep thought. Yes, if he knew everything in the world, he would just have to follow his own path. There would be less excitement and anticipation. It would be like looking at flowers on a cursory tour. It was really meaningless.
"Fourth Brother's Witty Words, Big Brother must be a big white fox."”
When Liu Bei said this, Meng Yi also remembered, but he could tell that the child was here for Zhang Fei. Han Fu did not dare to provoke him now, let alone Zhang Yan. Why did the child want to assassinate Zhang Fei? Could it be that there was some deep hatred?
"Let's go take a look."
"Alright."
The two of them walked straight to the dungeon. This was the prison that Meng Yi had entered in ancient times. The prison in Pingyuan County was behind the county government for the convenience of interrogating criminals. As soon as Meng Yi entered the prison, a pungent smell wafted out. There were wooden railings on both sides, and it was extremely dark inside. A few prison guards saw that Liu Bei had arrived and quickly came up to greet him.
Meng Yi couldn't stand the smell and got someone to pull him out for interrogation.
The two of them arrived at the county office. Liu Bei was clearly familiar with the place. He slapped the gavel and shouted,"Bring the prisoner!"
One of the yamen immediately said,"Bring the prisoners!"
Not long after, a young boy who had not shed his child-like appearance was brought up. Meng Yi carefully examined him and realized that although this child was not dressed like a child of a clan, he was still from a wealthy family. Liu Bei frowned. He did not expect him to be a child.
"Who are you?"
The young man looked at Liu Bei and asked,"Who are you?"”
"I am the Pingyuan Magistrate, Liu Bei!"
The young man's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared at Liu Bei and gritted his teeth."You are Liu Bei? I'll kill you."
The youth's face suddenly changed and he rushed towards Liu Bei like a mad demon, holding him down from both sides.
Seeing him like this, how could Liu Bei not know that this youth had a grudge against him?
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? "Even if I die, I won't. Liu Bei, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go." The youth gritted his teeth and said, as if he wanted to swallow Liu Bei whole. This time, Liu Bei was really confused. He had always treated people with kindness, so why did this youth hate him so much?
"Sir, do you want to be punished?”
"No need. This youth hasn't even reached adulthood yet. How can we use a private punishment?”
The young man became even more resentful when he heard this." Liu Bei, you don't have to pretend to be a good person. You hypocrite! You caused my family to be destroyed and my uncle to die in your hands. I only wish for a quick death today!"
Liu Bei was startled.”
"I won't say it."
Meng Yi frowned. He could tell that this youth had a ruddy complexion. He probably had some background.
"Our county magistrate has always treated people with benevolence and righteousness. Why would he have such a deep hatred for you? "Come over first. If there's any misunderstanding, it'll be easier to clarify," Meng Yi could only say.
Who knew that this young man's bones were quite tough. He turned around and ignored Meng Yi.
Despite the fact that Meng Yi ignored his flowery words, a thought suddenly appeared in Meng Yi's mind.
"I think this child is obviously deceived. Why don't you let me take care of him?”
Liu Bei was anxious." Fourth Brother, how can you do this? This child has the eyes of a wolf. I'm afraid he will do something bad to you."
When Meng Yi said this, the hatred in the youth's eyes dissipated quite a bit.
"It's okay, Big Brother. I don't have any deep hatred for him. A man should distinguish between kindness and hatred. I believe that although this child is young, he should understand this principle."
"You are Liu Bei's brother? Then kill me as soon as possible, or I'll make you regret it."
Meng Yi was stunned. Why did this child want to die so badly?
"Alright, I'll still bring you along. Let's see what you can do to me?”Meng Yi was really going all out with this child.
" If you're not afraid of death, bring it on. I'm telling you, I don't know how to do anything. Don't even think about ordering me around like a servant. Also, if I'm unhappy that day, I might stab you with a knife." Although the young man threatened him verbally, his hatred for Meng Yi had indeed lessened significantly.
Liu Bei hesitated.
"Big brother, don't worry. This child is still…but his bones are quite tough and he has some courage. He can still be trained."
"You want me to work for you? I advise you to let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise, your Pingyuan County will be flattened."
The moment these words came out, Meng Yi's heart was deeply moved. Just what was the background of this fellow? Even Han Fu wouldn't dare to say such a thing. Why did this child dare? It didn't look like he was scaring people. Could it be that he had really gone through a hornet's nest this time?
No, the more Meng Yi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Han Fu couldn't do it, but there was another person who dared to say that, and that was Zhang Yan. Could this child be related to Zhang Yan?
"Your surname is Zhang?"
The young man's expression changed drastically when he heard that, but he immediately returned to normal.
