The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 192 Arriving in Xuzhou
At the end of October, Lin Chao and his party finally arrived at Tan County, the seat of Donghai County, Xuzhou.

From Yingchuan to Donghai, it can be regarded as spanning the entire Yuzhou, which lasted nearly one month.

Liu Bei received the news early in the morning, and when he learned that Zheng Xuan was in the team, he led his own soldiers and went out of the city ten miles to meet him, which was considered to be enough face for Zheng Xuan.

From a long distance, Lin Chao saw Liu Bei charging towards him on horseback, followed by Dian Wei and Gao Shun.

Seeing Zheng Xuan, Liu Bei bowed his hands and said with a smile, "I've seen Zheng Gong!"

Liu Bei is now a vassal of one party, Zheng Xuanjian refused to accept this gift, and bowed to Liu Bei instead.

"Zheng Kangcheng, an idler in the mountains, pay homage to Duke Xuande!"

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zheng Xuan up, and said, "Don't do this, Mr. Zheng. You are the elder brother of a certain teacher. How can this be done?"

Seeing the sincerity on Liu Bei's face, Zheng Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Xuande, now you are a vassal, and you are also the Marquis of Lucheng personally entrusted by the imperial court. The old man is white, and the superior and the inferior must be distinguished."

Liu Bei persuaded again, but Zheng Xuan was extremely stubborn on this point, so Liu Bei could only let him go.

After returning to the government office, Liu Bei cleaned up the dust for everyone and set up a running water banquet.

Except for Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xun Yu, and Jian Yong who were still in Zhongshan preparing to emigrate the people, Liu Bei's men and women were all present.

During the banquet, Lin introduced to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, this is Guo Fengxiao from Yingchuan, who is also a man of great talent."

Among these people, Guo Jia didn't know anyone except Jia Xu. He was pouring himself a drink when he heard Lin introduce himself to Liu Bei. !"

Not long after the banquet started, Liu Bei saw that Guo Jia was already blushing from drinking, so he smiled and said, "Do you drink like a filial piety?"

"Back to Duke Xuande, I dare not say anything else, except for drinking, I have never lost to anyone!"

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Bei immediately laughed and said: "Okay, Feng Xiaozhen has a temperament, and drink this cup to the full!"

Guo Jia didn't show any weakness either, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it down in one gulp.

Compared with Guo Jia, who likes to show off, Jia Xu is much more low-key, just sitting in the corner eating and drinking, in order not to attract the attention of others, he restrained himself from grabbing the meat with his hands.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Chao looked around and found that only Tian Feng was missing.

No wonder I was not used to it from the very beginning, it turned out that the absence of this iron-headed boy was against me...

Lin Chao asked curiously, "Mr. Xuande, why didn't you see Tian Yuanhao?"

As Liu Bei's Yuancong old man, the old man who followed from Zhongshan, it is impossible for Liu Bei not to call him for things like dinner.

Hearing Lin Chao's question, Liu Bei's smile disappeared, and he faltered and said: "Zi Chu, Yuan Hao has been a little busy these two days...Someone asked him to come to a banquet, but he didn't want to come..."

Liu Daer must not have told the truth!
Lin Chao immediately sensed the truth of the matter keenly, so he became even more curious.

What happened in the end, even I can't even tell myself?
But Liu Bei didn't want to say it, and Lin Chao couldn't continue to ask, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart.

After eating and drinking, Liu Bei took advantage of his drunkenness and dragged Lin Chao to see the mansion he had prepared for him.

The so-called new mansion is right next to Liu Bei's current residence, and there is a yard covering an area of ​​five or six acres.

This time, the two are living next to each other.

"Zichu, look at the mansion prepared for you, it's magnificent!"

After Liu Bei led Lin Chao around, he smiled.

Regarding the residence, Lin Chao actually didn't pay much attention to it.It doesn't matter if it's bigger or smaller, as long as it's enough to live in.

only……

Lin Chao looked at Liu Bei's residence next to him, it seemed that it was not as big as his own.

"Mr. Xuande, isn't it too extravagant to use this place as a residence for Chaoliu?" Lin Chao said hesitantly, "Besides, the residence of Duke Xuande that Chao just saw is not as grand as it is."

He lived next to Liu Bei, and was even older than Liu Bei's family. If it got out, Lin Chao was worried that he would be criticized by those who cared.

"No problem, no problem." Liu Bei naturally heard Lin Chao's meaning, and said with relief, "I am able to be here today, thanks to Zichu's advice and advice all the way, and it should be the first contribution. It's just a mere mansion, Zichu must not refuse. Besides , Zichu now has a family, and in the future, he will spread his branches and leaves, and the population will prosper, so naturally he needs a bigger mansion."

Having said that, Liu Bei lowered his voice: "Zichu, you have worked hard in the past two years, and I have nothing to reward you. But if you don't reward me, some people will inevitably say that I am mean and ungrateful. As for your concerns, Zichu , you and I have known each other for so long, and we are already our own brothers, do you still doubt that someone is a good person?"

Just as Lin Chao has worries, Liu Bei also has his own considerations.

Use Lin Chao, the number one hero, to set an example and let everyone know that as long as he is a meritorious minister, I, Liu Bei, will never be stingy with rewards.

If you don't believe me, just look at Lin Zichu, who lives next to me, and lives better than me!

And his last words are equivalent to reassuring Lin Chao, and avoiding Lin Chao's worries.

"Since that's the case, thank you, Duke Xuande." Lin Chao said with a smile, cupping his hands.

Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to grab Lin Chao, and said with a smile, "This is what you deserve, why thank you. Let's go, I will go shopping with you again."

During the conversation between the two, Dian Wei who was next to him didn't think there was anything wrong, but he looked at Gao Shun quite enviously.

After getting along these days, he naturally understood Liu Bei's character, so he envied Lin Chao even more.

When Liu Bei dragged Lin Chao to continue wandering, Gao Shun sighed: "Jun Ming, my lord waits for the prison army to be so affectionate and righteous. Except for Yun Chang and Yi De, I am afraid that no one can match it."

Hearing this, Dian Wei nodded and smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, the lord is the lord of heroes, and the supervisor of the army is a great talent in the world, and the monarch and his ministers should get along with each other, as it should be."

Gao Shun recalled what Lin Chao had done for Liu Bei, and immediately felt that it should be taken for granted.

"What Jun Ming said is true."

……

Inside the Tan County Government Office.

Tian Feng has two big dark circles under his eyes, and he is still busy with business.

To be exact, Tian Feng has been crouching on the desk reviewing political affairs since morning till now, without taking a break for even a quarter of an hour.

And this kind of life began after Liu Bei Group arrived in Tan County.

Even when Liu Bei sent someone to invite him to a banquet at noon, he refused.

Hmph, so what if Lin Zichu is here, can politics be abolished because of him alone?

He does too!
As a workaholic, Tian Feng has always had the habit of not taking a break if he does not finish his work.

It's just that there are too many government affairs in Xuzhou, big and small, how can he complete them by himself, so he has been sleeping in the government office with his clothes on for the past few days, and continued to work after waking up.

When he was tired, he drank some tea and scolded Lin Chao to relieve his anger.

Lin Zichu is really shameless!
As a long history, it is really unreasonable to neglect political affairs because of marrying a wife!

These live...

It was all his!
