Chapter 9

Although Chengdu is not as good as Chang'an surrounded by eight rivers, it is also not as good as Luoyang, the capital of the gods, which is "arched by rivers and mountains, and its shape is better than armor in the world".

However, as the birthplace of the ancient Shu civilization, it is also surrounded by dozens of rivers and branches including the Minjiang River, and its resources are also unique.

"drive!"

At this time, a black wind swept over from a distance, and the gatekeepers on the tower immediately cheered up and looked into the distance.

After discovering that it was a "general" wearing a helmet and wearing Changshuo on the side of the horse, he immediately called the brothers downstairs to pull the horse and put it at the gate of the city.

Seeing this, the soldiers downstairs also formed a formation behind the rejected horse, waiting with spears and crossbows.

"Stop! Who is coming, get off your horse and take off your weapon!"

The black horse rider didn't slow down, although it was just a ride, he had an invincible momentum.

Although the formation of these soldiers remained the same, their legs were already trembling unconsciously.

The enemy attacked Chengdu?
That can't just send a ride over.

They are not elites, they are just "urban management".

Facing the charge of the armored cavalry, until now they have not thrown away their weapons and dodged it, which is already considered due diligence.

But when they were considering whether to raise the suspension bridge and temporarily close the city gate, they noticed another knight following him, and that knight was holding a banner.

There is a word "Liu" in the letter.

Several people looked carefully again, and it was indeed Liu.

They immediately relaxed, quickly dodged from the city gate, and pulled Juma away by the way.

There are not many people playing the Liu character banner here, and the dark horse, which is rare in Bashu, is getting closer and closer.

They have already recognized that the knight on the horse is the eldest son Liu who has been away from home for more than a month.

One of them laughed and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, once this young master comes back, Chengdu will be bustling again..."

"Isn't it? Before I arrived, I sent so many old and weak women and children to the city to eat."

"Shh, stop talking nonsense, you two want to die." Although the other person scolded, there was a bit of banter on his face.

It can be seen that they don't have any reverence for this Mr. Liu in their hearts.

It is said that those who eat idle food did not eat their family's food.

But there are always some people who don't think about these things when they are chewing their tongues.

"Woo!" When he got close to the city gate, Liu Chan yanked the reins abruptly, and the black horseman stood up.

"Hey, baby—!"

With a long hiss, he volleyed off his horse with great agility.

Horses are not allowed in the non-emergency military situation city, and he doesn't want to go to the military division to receive punishment as soon as he returns.

Several guards hurriedly saluted: "My lord!"

Of course Liu Chan knows that others often talk about him behind his back, but he only has the battle in Jingzhou in his eyes.

If you fail, everything will be suspended, so how can you care about these trivial things.

These people can't help their own plans, so they like to do whatever they want.

Without squinting, Liu Chan led his horse into the city and went straight to General Zuo's mansion.

……

The highest administrative institution in this city is Liu Bei's Left General's Mansion.

Strictly speaking, General Zuo's Mansion is a military institution and should not care about government affairs.

However, the Liu Bei Group is still an institutional structure that integrates the military and the government. For example, Liu Bei is also the left general and leads the Yizhou pastor himself.

In other words, most of the separatist warlords in the Three Kingdoms period had such a system.

Due to the continuous conquests all the year round, and the fact that the Han Dynasty paid attention to personalities, important civil and military positions were often held by one person.

The military-government integration system has higher administrative efficiency under this specific background.

But right now, there is a woman standing aggressively in the room of General Zuo's mansion where the military and government affairs are handled.

This woman is dressed in a plain colored train and a bu Yao on her head. Although her appearance is not perfect, she is very dignified and noble.

She is Liu Bei's current wife Wu Shi.

She neither pissed off nor cried, and maintained an excellent self-cultivation, but there was an obvious sense of blame in her words.

"Military Master, it's been more than a month since Adou left Chengdu, and he hasn't brought back any news. Why didn't you send someone to look for him?"

Standing in front of Mrs. Wu was a middle-aged man.

This person is eight feet long, handsome and elegant, with a feather fan and scarf, and has an extraordinary temperament.

It was Zhuge Liang, the military adviser, Mr. Wolong who knew three points of the world before he was born.

At the time when Liu Bei led the army to go out, Zhuge Liang, as the general of the army and the general of the left, was not the highest-ranking official, but he was the actual military and political leader in Yizhou.

Facing Mrs. Wu's questioning with a smile on his face, he lightly shook his feather fan and said comfortingly, "Madam, don't worry, the time has passed, and you should return soon. If you don't return in three days, it won't be too late to send someone to look for it."

This is a very charismatic man. When he treats people kindly, he makes people feel like a spring breeze and can't get angry.

Mrs. Wu seemed to have punched the cotton, but it didn't work out.

But she regards A Dou as her own, so she is not willing to let it go easily.

Since she came today, don't tell her to go back easily without giving an explanation.

"The military division also watched Adou grow up since he was a child. This child was born with a hard life, how can you bear to be so indifferent?"

Zhuge Liang's smile didn't change, and he persuaded: "Hey, madam's words are wrong. It's not because Liang is indifferent, but because I watched the young master grow up, I believe that he will be fine."

"But……"

"Ma'am, don't worry. The young master has led the army for three years, and even Liang is often amazed at how fast he has grown. How can you do nothing for a mere Emei thief?"

Mrs. Wu knew that the military adviser was not exaggerating, and she could hear the pride in the other party's words.

But A Dou is only 13 years old this year. In her eyes, she is still a child who needs to be taken care of. She has no eyes for fighting and killing. How can she feel at ease.

"lady."

Just when she was about to say something more, the maid happened to call out from the door.

She looked happy, could it be that there was news about Adou?

"What? Come in and say, is the young master back?"

The maid walked into the room with a long and delicate wooden box in her arms, and handed it over after saluting.

"Ma'am, the Qiao family sent someone to send an old Liaodong ginseng, which is said to be a hundred years old..."

After all, he opened the lid of the box, and it was an old ginseng that had begun to take shape.

Seeing that it wasn't Liu Chan who came back, the smile on Mrs. Wu's face disappeared completely, and she was agitated for a while.

At this moment, his mentality finally exploded, and he waved his hands again and again: "Take it away, take it away, what kind of ginseng and horse ginseng, I don't like it, it looks annoying."

"Who upset the mother? Tell the boy, and the boy will teach him a lesson."

While talking, there was a period of voice change, a hoarse and ridiculous voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, then pushed aside the maid and walked quickly to the door.

I saw a young man walking in wearing a full set of iron armor, and he hadn't had time to take off his armor.

On the young man's jade-like fair face, some dust mixed with sweat left a few black marks at this time, making him look a bit dusty.

He was exactly Liu Chan who rushed all the way to beat the horse and whip the whip.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Liu Chan is also very excited to see this Mrs. Wu who dotes on her more than her own mother.

Liu Chan, who has been a man for two generations, unfortunately lost his mother early.

When the stepmother, Mrs. Wu, married Lao Liu, she didn't have much expectation for any maternal love.

Stepmother, how much sincerity can there be throughout the ages?

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu, who was nearly forty at the time and had always had no children, fell in love with the eight-year-old Liu Chan, who was born with pink makeup and jade decorations, and was very fair and lovely.

There should be the [Pleasant] characteristic brought by his own mother, Mrs. Gan, at work. In addition, he found that Mrs. Wu can also trigger the favorability reward, and he behaves more filial and obedient in front of his stepmother.

Mrs. Wu's affection for Liu Chan increased day by day, and soon reached the top of [-].

This old Liu has been fighting in Hanzhong for more than two years, so she will talk about it during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the son went out, he kept talking about it every day, and he didn't send someone to report his safety a few days later, so he immediately couldn't sit still.

Liu Chan hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed down: "Son Liu Chan, I have seen my mother."

Seeing her son's armored and dusty appearance, Mrs. Wu finally couldn't help her nose sore, and tears fell down.

He took a few steps forward and held Liu Chan's face, took out a handkerchief and wiped the stains on his face, not disliking the smell of sweat on his body at all.

"Adou, you've lost weight again..."

Liu Chan: "..."

Feeling his increasingly strong body, he looked at the value of "Strength and Fitness (40/200)" and remained silent.

Probably this is the fixed line of mothers all over the world, seeing their sons coming home, it's so classic.

I guess even if I am as fat as in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series, I am still too thin in the eyes of my mother...
