Chen Dao murmured,"He crossed the flood. Is he a god?"”
"I can't say that he's a god, but such a person is really a rare and powerful person in the world. Uncle Dao, when he comes ashore, go and recruit him and see if you can recruit him under my father's command.”Liu Chan said to Chen Dao.
Such a person was definitely not a nameless person. He might even be a person who left his name in the history books. It was best if he succeeded in recruiting him. Even if he failed, he would still be able to get to know such a hero.
"Why didn't Young Master recruit him personally?" Chen Dao asked in confusion. With the identity of the young master, it should be easier to recruit him.”
" Uncle Dao," Liu Chan chuckled." Only you and Uncle Yun regard me as their young master when I'm two years old. The others won't even look at me now."
Therefore, it's better for you to step in, lest I humiliate myself.”
"Talking to Young Master Chan, I don't think you're a two-year-old child."”
"Gongyan, I don't deserve to be called Young Master. You should just call me Ah Dou.”
"The Left General also has a noble title, why can't I call you Young Master?。”Jiang Wan looked at the strong man on the river and said.
Liu Chan did not force himself. Liu Bei was the herdsman of Jingzhou, the Left General, and the Marquis of Yi City. It was not too much for outsiders to call him Young Master Que.
Chen Dao stared at the person in the water and said with uncertainty,"This person looks a little familiar. However, they were too far away and could not see clearly.”
"We'll know when he comes up."
The water slowly rose, and the flood in the river became more and more rapid. The person was probably exhausted and began to swim to the shore.
When he approached, Chen Dao exclaimed,"So it's General Huang Zhong!"
Liu Chan looked at the muscular man who was completely naked. This man was nine feet tall and had a strong body. Water droplets slid down from his bulging muscles.
Huang Zhong walked out of the water while panting heavily. He raised his head and saw Chen Dao. Huang Zhong said in surprise,"Uncle Chen, why are you here?"
"General Huang, I'm escorting the Young Lord to Linxiang."”
Only then did Huang Zhong see the little Liu Chan. He bowed to Liu Chan and continued to ask Chen Dao,"Why did Young Master come to Linxiang?"
"Mrs. Gan is seriously ill. Young Master has come to invite Zhang Ji to the Public Security Bureau to treat Mrs. Gan," said Chen Dao.”
Liu Chan rolled his eyes. Huang Zhong ignored him. As expected, he was easily ignored at a young age.
"So it's because of this. However, the city is about to be flooded. Please leave the city quickly. I have a manor outside the city. How about you stay at my place?”Huang Zhong said.
"That would be the best." Chen Dao smiled.
Huang Zhong's personal guards brought clothes over. After Huang Zhong put on his clothes, he looked at the flood that had just reached his feet and was now up to his knees. He sighed and said,"The flood this time is too fierce. The city will probably be flooded for several days.”
"Where is the county magistrate of Linxiang?" Liu Chan asked. Why was there no official in the city to evacuate the people?”
"It rained heavily last night. The county magistrate of Linxiang led his men to evacuate the people in the city to the outside of the city.”Huang Zhong replied.
"What about the general's soldiers?" Liu Chan continued to ask.
"Soldiers are stationed outside the city!" Huang Zhong said matter-of-factly.
Liu Chan heard this matter-of-fact tone and immediately understood that there was no such rule in this era for the army to rescue and provide disaster relief. The army was used to fight wars. This was something that everyone took for granted.
Liu Chan didn't say anything else. He obviously didn't want the army to save the people.
"Young Master, do you mean to let the soldiers help the people in the city?”Huang Zhong understood what Liu Chan meant.
" Yes." Liu Chan nodded." The flood is coming, and many people are unable to escape in time. This requires the help of the soldiers."
And before the flood came, they could also mobilize the soldiers to help take preventive measures.”
Huang Zhong laughed silently. Chen Dao hurriedly explained to Liu Chan,""Helping the people escape from the disaster to a safe place, this group of soldiers will most likely rob the people of their belongings. The soldiers will not be willing to fight the natural disaster.”
Liu Chan understood Chen Dao's meaning. If one were to understand the concept of this era, sending soldiers to rescue and provide disaster relief was something that slave laborers should do. Most of the slave laborers were convicts, sons-in-law, and merchants. These people were all people with low status. The soldiers were naturally unwilling to do these things. Moreover, there was the danger of losing their lives and no military merit.
"It's still a matter of thinking." Liu Chan thought.
"We can't stay here for too long. Quickly leave the city and go to higher ground. Linxiang City will soon be submerged.”Huang Zhong saw that the water had already reached his thighs and hurriedly urged.
The group hurriedly left the city. Jiang Wan followed behind Liu Chan and sized up Huang Zhong from time to time. Huang Zhong also noticed that Jiang Wan often looked at him and could not help but ask,"Young man, why do you keep looking at me?”
Jiang Wan bowed and said,"I'm curious as to why you're fighting the flood in the river."
This was very dangerous, and one could lose their life if they were not careful.”
Huang Zhong laughed." The water is the best way to train the body. I've been in the water since I was young and often fought against the currents. That's why I have a strong physique. I fought on the battlefield first and achieved what I have today.”
Only a fierce person like Huang Zhong would be able to do such a training method that almost risked his life. Moreover, his luck was quite good, and he actually survived.
Huang Zhong's martial arts skills were needless to say. He had been in the army for more than 20 years, from a small soldier to a general guarding Changsha against Jiangdong and the barbarians. He had rich experience in war and would always charge at the front of the battle. He was brave and unstoppable.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but sigh." Ordinary people are already extremely terrified when facing the surging flood, but the general dared to enter the water to fight the flood. This courage really makes this junior admire him."”
Huang Zhong couldn't stop laughing. He enjoyed Jiang Wan's flattery and looked at Jiang Wan with a much friendlier gaze.
