Liu Bei, who was observing the terrain, quickly turned around."
"Uncle, be careful. Let me help you."
As he spoke, Liu Bei personally went forward to help him up.
Zhao Yun, who was watching over the convoy of family members, had originally rushed to attack before Liu Bei, but his arm was gently brushed away by Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun was also very perceptive. She quickly stopped and did not hinder her lord from performing his filial piety.
On the other side, there was also a 25-year-old man who hurriedly jumped off the carriage and held the old man's other arm. He said,
"Father, be careful."
It turned out that this old man was Liu Bei's uncle, Liu Yuanqi, who had sponsored his studies after his father's death.
The young man who looked similar to Liu Bei was his cousin, Liu Deran.
In history, they had been in chaos.
However, in this life, Li Tian helped Liu Bei report Zhang Chun in advance.
Not only could Liu Bei protect his family, but he had also become a county magistrate. Everything was different now.
Old Uncle Liu Yuanqi held onto his cane.
He stood at the top of the slope for a while and sighed.
"Sigh, this old man has lived in Zhuo County for most of my life, but I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to move.”
Liu Bei quickly said,"
"It was a mistake to make my uncle wander.”
"Fortunately, Liangxiang is only 60 li away from Zhuo County. Now that it was chaotic, it was safer to have soldiers by his side.”
Liu Yuanqi chuckled and said,
"What are you talking about!"
"If it weren't for Liu Bei recruiting volunteers to protect his neighbors, the Wuhuan cavalry who came to rob the city would have already broken through!
"I heard that even the emperor has heard of your act of abandoning your official position to protect your neighbors?”
"On the way here just now, De Ran and the others told me a lot about your current glory.”
Liu Bei waved his hand and said,"
"If it wasn't for uncle, how could I carry my books and travel?”
"Everything is what I should do. No matter what I do, it will not be enough to repay uncle's kindness.”
In the end, Liu Yuanqi told him to shut up and not stand on ceremony. Only then did Liu Bei stop.
Liu Yuanqi got back into the car, coughed a few times and said,
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
"However, today, you and I are in such a situation that you can be loyal and filial to both sides. You can protect your neighbors and your official position will not be lowered. You can't forget the friend you mentioned…who taught you to give up your official position and seek fame. Our Liu Family is grateful for the help.”
Liu Bei's expression was serious as he promised his uncle,"
"Of course!"
"I treat Boya as if I were De Ran.”
"In terms of knowledge and strategies, I regard him as a teacher and a friend. I am deeply grateful for uncle's teachings!”
……
Along the way, Liu Bei talked about his friendship with Li Tian.
The group soon arrived at the city gate.
Among the officials left in the county, the highest position was the county magistrate, Qi Jing.
Therefore, he explained the situation in the county to Liu Bei.
"I am Qi Jing, the county magistrate.”
"Lord Xuande's name has been heard in the capital. It is truly a blessing for the people to be able to take up a post in Liangxiang.”
Qi Jing had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time.
When they saw Liu Bei, they brought the bailiffs to greet him.
Liu Bei was not used to it.
Two months ago, he was still a county captain and had been there for more than two years.
Therefore, he knew how the subordinate officials like the county magistrate behaved in front of the county magistrate.
Wasn't this County Deputy Qi too obsequious?
"Quickly remove the formalities. I've just arrived and hope that everyone will work together.”
Liu Bei was also a shrewd old man.
Of course, he knew how to get along with his subordinates.
"Duke Xuande is too modest."
"Yesterday, I heard that you are the first capable official to receive the emperor's edict and be exempted from paying taxes.”
"Isn't it an honor for the people of the city to have such a great virtue of loyalty and righteousness in the four seas come to my good hometown?”
Qi Jing insisted on cupping his hands.
He even handed over a bowl of sake. Liu Bei was a little embarrassed.
However, looking at the situation, the other party would not stop if he did not drink it, so he hurriedly drank it.
As he drank, Liu Bei was actually quite proud of himself, but he never showed it on his face.
I didn't expect my deeds to spread so quickly!
According to this trend.
Within ten days, the surrounding counties would definitely know of his reputation for not paying the money to repair the palace.
It was not impossible for the news to spread in Youzhou Province within a month.
It would be much more convenient for him to do things in the future!
On the other side.
Qi Jing led his subordinates to pour wine for Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun actually did not have any official position. His title of Marquis Qu Jun was given to him by Liu Bei.
It was just that Zhao Yun had protected Liu Bei's family, so Liu Bei valued him.
He was rewarded with a set of polished and shiny fish-scale armor, as well as a shining heart-protecting mirror.
The subordinate officials in the county saw his bright armor and thought that he was a military officer with a rank like Zhang Fei.
He even secretly sighed at how well equipped County Magistrate Liu's troops were.
What they didn't know was that these pieces of equipment were ordered by Zhang Chun from the Zhen family.
In the end, because the case happened too quickly, they did not have time to pick up the goods, which benefited Liu Bei.
