"Second brother, third brother!"
After shouting, Liu Bei quickly stood up and hurriedly pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the government office. After closing the door, he called the wealthy merchants, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and the others over.
These plebeian factions were extremely supportive of Liu Bei and still chose to support him. Although they were often roped in by Chen Deng, they had always maintained an attitude of feigning civility and did not really have any deep friendship with Chen Deng.
After everyone was present, Liu Bei said solemnly,""Everyone, Chen Liu has sent a letter saying that the Emperor has returned. He is about to build the capital city of Xuchang and place the Emperor in Xuchang. Cao Cao will also become…the most powerful official!”
"This, this is a good thing!”
Sun Qian and Mei Zhu immediately smiled.
"Now that the emperor has escaped from Chang 'an, he has really left the devil's claws. The days of the tigers and wolves in Bingzhou, when Dong Zhuo began to control the Han Dynasty in his own hands, are finally over!”
"Our Emperor of the Han Dynasty has escaped from the demonic claws. We should celebrate!”
Sun Qian and Mei Zhu were extremely excited. Even the honest Sun Qian started to cry.
However, Liu Bei was not happy.
Were these two idiots?
Did I call you here to reminisce about the past?!
What nonsense!
I mean, Cao Cao now has the Heavenly Dao! In the future, he would attack anyone with ease, just like a tidal wave. Who could resist?!
"You two." Liu Bei took a deep breath. Although these two were stupid, he could not give up on healing them. He planned to brainwash them first.
"Our current situation is not optimistic. If Cao Cao can assist the emperor wholeheartedly and make great contributions to the Great Han Dynasty, then we will naturally live in peace and the world will be lucky! But what if he's the second Dong Zhuo?"
"This..." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei narrowed their eyes at the same time.
It was highly possible!
Cao Cao himself was not a Confucian scholar, so how far-reaching was his political stratagem?
No one can understand the Chinese.
Moreover, behind Cao Cao was a deep pool of strategists.
Liu Bei even felt that the Emperor of Chen Liu was about to be toyed with by Cao Cao and Xu Zhen, who were like clouds and mist. Although he did not know what Xu Zhen's abilities were, and whether the entire scripture of the Heavenly Book existed, his existence would indeed become Liu Bei's greatest fear and most mysterious worry.
"This time, Cao Cao summoned me to Chen Liu and then met His Majesty. I feel that there is a trap, so Second Brother and Third Brother should not follow me for the time being.”
"Why?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei frowned at the same time. They immediately became worried.
"That won't do. I have to follow big brother! If Cao Cao does anything to you, you can have someone to protect you!”
One had to know that from the time they became sworn brothers in the peach garden until now, after so many years of ups and downs, the three brothers had never been separated.
"You can't go with me!" "I'm going to Chenliu to wait for the Emperor to enter Xuchang!" Then, he would recognize her as his relative and reward her! I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the imperial uncle of the Great Han Dynasty! If I can reunite with the emperor, it will be much easier to do anything in the future. Do you understand?”
Guan Yu nodded, but he still looked troubled."That's true, but... there's still danger. If one of me and my third brother can go with big brother, it might be much safer..."
"No, you can't go. Guard Xiao Pei, develop agriculture and water conservancy, recruit soldiers and horses, and visit virtuous talents. If you're outside, it'll be easier for me to come out.”
"That's true."
Sun Qian and Mei Zhu were not outsiders, so they immediately understood Liu Bei's predicament. If he was put under house arrest in Xuchang, it would be troublesome. After all, that was Cao Cao's base camp.
If the Second General and the Third General were outside, the lord could leave Xuchang with the excuse of missing his brothers and family. Even if he was alone and did not want a high position, he could still come to visit.
"But…"
"Third Brother, there's no need to say anymore." Liu Bei stared at Zhang Fei and said,"When I, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, succeeded, there was also the difficulty of the Hongmen Banquet. How could it be smooth sailing for those who achieved great things?! Now, the Han Dynasty is still in danger. I don't know where the tigers and wolves are. I must go to the dragon's pool and the tiger's den alone to see their true appearance.”
"Moreover, if Cao Cao is not loyal to the Emperor and threatens the Emperor, he will also be criticized like Dong Zhuo. Perhaps I can bring Zilong and Lord Xu back. Only then will we have the capital to establish ourselves.”
Liu Bei sighed. Although this trip was dangerous, good fortune and bad fortune lurked, and bad fortune and good fortune depended on it. This time, by going to Cao Cao's side, he could get close to Xu Zhen. If he could treat him well for a long time and build a deep relationship with him, he might be able to take him away in the future.
That was also a good thing.
"Big brother, then, then, what if Cao Cao doesn't treat you well?! If that fellow imprisoned you, where would Second Brother and I go to get you back!？”
Liu Bei's eyes trembled a few times, then he smiled and said,""I won't. Even if I'm imprisoned, it'll be house arrest and not imprisonment. Remember, develop your military and don't get into conflict with Chen Deng and Cao Bao.”
"Ai, I know..." Zhang Fei felt upset and helpless.
That night, Sun and Mi Zhu left early. The restless Liu Bei pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei along and made many arrangements. He was not a person who was willing to let others take advantage of him.
Therefore, after making all sorts of arrangements, he left Xiao Pei at dawn the next day and went to Chen Liu.
…Three days later, Chen Liu.
There was a figure waiting at the door of Xu Zhen's residence. When he had just left the inner courtyard, a servant girl ran over to inform him,"My Lord, Miss Cai Yan is waiting for you outside."”
"Ah?"
Xu Zhen was stunned. He didn't invite her today. He was actually very busy today. There were many things to do in the Dian Nong Office. Moreover, new materials had arrived from the supply camp, and the craftsmen were ready.
Inside the inner hall, inside the door, inside the alluring beauty, skin color like jade, Gan Mei leaned against the door, and whispered to Xu Zhen,""I've already talked to Miss Cai Yan. She's older than me, so she doesn't care about age.”
"..." Xu Zhen 'an maintained a smile. Even though Gan Mei had mentioned this matter several times, she still felt that it was very unreal. The first wife was urging me to marry another one!
!
This was as magical as a mother-in-law lighting a cigarette!
However, it was extremely comfortable.
"Husband, do your best! I'm waiting for Miss Cai Yan to accompany me so that I can have some fun during normal times.”
Gan Mei's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, full of charm.
Xu Zhen kissed her and turned to leave.
This light touch made Gan Mei blush and hide in her room…After Xu Zhen came out, he saw Cai Zhaoji, who was laughing and talking.
Compared to Gan Mei, Cai Zhaoji didn't exude the kind of beauty that came from her bones. However, she had a very thin temperament, floating like a fairy, and she gave off a very…hard feeling!
There was a kind of magnanimous character that did not stick to trifles.
"Greetings, Milord."
Cai Zhaoji's eyes were filled with affection as she couldn't help but stare at Xu Zhen.
Through this period of time, she had already felt that Xu Zhen had an irresistible charm and many strange ideas.
In ancient times, it was said that people should follow the example of virtuous people and reflect on themselves when they see unvirtuous people.
She was also paying her respects to the ancients and looking up to Xu Zhen.
"Young Lady, why are you waiting for me? We didn't have a date today."
"I'm naturally doing it for, um…" Cai Yan thought for a moment and said,""Learn poetry and watch the adults do things. If possible, I can go horse racing with the adults.”
"Horse racing?"
"That's right. Otherwise, whatever you do with Daren seems to be good. Zhao Ji can learn something.”
Xu Zhen was amused and said,""Learn things? Are you going to learn how to tame pigs with me?"
"Aiya! Lord Xu!"
Cai Zhaoji's face immediately turned red and she even slapped Xu Zhen's arm. The servant maids at the side were stunned.
The young lady who usually had no interest in any Confucian scholars and even gave pointers to the scholars of Yanzhou was actually acting like a little woman in front of Lord Xu. This was really an eye-opener.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun also sensibly walked in the distance. Then, Dian Wei, this little troublemaker, started to mutter again.
"Look, look…" He sighed and shook his head as he said,"Usually, when we're slaughtering pigs, going out to patrol, or working in the fields, the adults all say that we have to protect them. Now, there are women who have sex. Hey, hey, there's no need to protect them!
”
"Haha…That makes sense…" Zhao Yun burst out laughing and shook her head bitterly.
Seventeen of the five hundred warriors had been injured in the battle and had yet to be replenished. Thirty-two had died, all of them in the small-scale battle with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. This had caused Xu Zhen to be in a bad mood for a while.
However, it was just nostalgia, and he did not become indecisive because of this.
The daily training was still very intense!
Especially the obstacle course, which had become an obstacle course with weights.
In just a short month, the physical strength and physique of all the warriors had increased by a large margin, and their strength was also increasing.
However, there were many craftsmen in the military camp today, and most of the warriors were helping with the transportation.
"What are they doing?"
Cai Zhaoji asked in confusion.
She saw the blacksmiths melt an iron pipe and then pour it onto a round rod made of an unknown material. After it solidified slightly, they took the round rod away and the iron pipes were firmly connected together.
The soldiers were repeatedly making such tubes.
Some were straight pipes, while others were bent pipes.
In the camp, there was a huge stone platform. A stone tower was built to form a reservoir, and it was still being reinforced.
This is a reservoir, connected with an iron iron pipe, and then shaking the water into the reservoir with an Archaeus water screw, through the valve inside, it can release the stored water, the inside is called tap water.”
"Chicken…Mi De, who's that?”Cai Zhaoji suddenly felt as if her gaze had lost its luster.
What kind of name was that?
"Hmm…" Xu Zhen said,"It's someone's name. Usually, we use the creative laws that he discovered to name it and remember their achievements."”
Cai Zhaoji asked curiously,"Then this whole invention should be called Xu Zhenshui!"”
Xu Zhen frowned.! Miss, don't drive recklessly. How can I have water?!”
