The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 270 Gongsun Zan sent Liu Yu away?
There was no conversation along the way. Xun Chen and Ju Shou's carriages followed Hua Xiong's footsteps and arrived in front of the Keji Hall built by Chen Xi for Liu Bei. Liu Bei had been waiting here for a long time.

Even Xun Chen and Ju Shou, who were so shocked by the prosperity of Fenggao that they didn't want to speak, couldn't help swallowing their saliva after seeing the glittering Keji Hall, which exuded luxury and extravagance as if it was built with piles of Wuzhu coins.

Hua Xiong was not in a hurry to lead Xun Chen and Ju Shou into the Keji Hall to meet Liu Bei.

He just calmly looked at Xun Chen and Ju Shou who were distracted by the extravagance of the Keji Hall.

No matter how Chen Xi, the material provider, promoted it internally, the materials for building the Keji Hall and the Library were just the common soil and gravel outside.

However, anyone with a little common sense would be amazed when they see the two spectacular buildings, the Self-Restraint Hall and the Library.

No one would associate this place, which exudes luxury and extravagance, with the dirt and sand that can be seen everywhere outside.

One would subconsciously think that Chen Xi just didn't want people to know where these materials came from, and wanted people to imitate these two buildings to build their own private wonder buildings.

This was something Chen Xi would not allow. No buildings similar to these two spectacular buildings were allowed to appear in Fenggao or anywhere in the Han Dynasty.

Chen Xi had to ensure the uniqueness of the two buildings in order to promote Liu Bei and the library.

Of course, this is because the outside world does not know the specific costs of these two buildings, so all kinds of speculations arise.

However, even if people outside knew that Chen Xi only spent labor costs to build these two buildings, and the rest of the material costs were basically zero, they would not believe it.

People only believe what they see with their own eyes, even if what they see is covered by a mirage that obscures its true appearance.

In their eyes, the cost of building such a magnificent, luxurious and extravagant building can only be increased, and it is impossible to think about reducing it.

"You two, please come in. It's better not to keep Lord Xuande waiting too long." Hua Xiong said to Xun Chen and Ju Shou indifferently after seeing them come back to their senses.

After saying this, Hua Xiong walked straight into the Self-Restraint Hall without waiting for Xun Chen and Ju Shou to speak.

Xun Chen and Ju Shou frowned. Did the Fenggao Government Affairs Office really only send one military general to greet them?
Moreover, is there not even a reception desk in Liu Bei’s residence, Keji Hall?

Was it specifically aimed at them, or was it that no one lived in Liu Bei's residence originally, and the Self-Resistance Hall was only opened because they came?

But now is not the time to think about these things. The answer will appear after meeting Liu Bei later.

After taking a step, Xun Chen's footsteps stopped in mid-air. Did he really want to step on these mirror-smooth tiles?
Xun Chen hesitated. Even though he came from one of the most aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty, he had never enjoyed such luxurious things.

Ju Shou, who was standing next to him, stepped on the tiles laid on the ground without any hesitation.

Xun Chen looked at Ju Shou who had already passed him, shook his head in self-mockery, and then stepped on the tiles on the ground.

In fact, Ju Shou, who acted as if he didn't care at all, was far from being as calm as Xun Chen saw.

[Is it because Liu Xuande’s love of luxury, chicken walking and dog fighting since childhood has flared up?
Or did Liu Bei really have enough supplies to build a building of this level? 】

Ju Su only hoped that Liu Bei's inherent love of luxury had kicked in and he used the military funds to build himself a big house.

"This is……"

Ju Shou, who was following Hua Xiong closely in front, heard Xun Chen's small exclamation and quickly turned around to look at Xun Chen.

I saw Xun Chen squatting on the ground with a shocked look on his face, touching the cashmere blanket on the floor.

"Youruo, what are you doing..." Ju Su looked at Xun Chen who was squatting on the ground in confusion, not knowing what to say.

Xun Chen stood up slowly, looked at Ju Shou and said, "I have never seen a blanket made of this material before."

"..." Ju Su pursed his lips. He now knew what Xun Chen meant.

The carpet they were standing on was made of a material that even Xun Chen, who came from a top family, had never seen before.

However, when I think about the fact that this is a carpet spread in this magnificent and luxurious house.

Ju Su, who was standing on it, felt as if he was floating.

Hua Xiong, who was walking in front, heard their conversation and stopped to explain to them: "This carpet covering the entire room was woven with the wool from more than 100,000 sheepskins."

When saying this, Hua Xiong couldn't hide the pain in his tone.

"Tens of thousands of tickets? That's impossible!" Ju Su said subconsciously.

In Ju Shou's impression, even Yuan Shao, who came from the Yuan family, was not so extravagant.

Hundreds of thousands of sheep, just for a carpet?
Xun Chen also looked at Hua Xiong. He didn't know that there was such a luxury item.

“Nothing is impossible. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the merchants who are involved in the manufacture of wool yarn.

I said no more, no less." Hua Xiong shook his head. He did not lie to the two men.

The cashmere carpet spread in the Keji Hall is indeed woven with cashmere from hundreds of thousands of sheepskins.

What Hua Xiong didn't tell them was that the cashmere used to weave this cashmere blanket was just the cashmere that was left over during the spinning process.

After all, for those businessmen, cashmere is the same whether they have it or not.

Since Chen Xi wants it, just give it to him directly. If by chance you can make yourself familiar to Chen Xi, wouldn’t that be better than anything else?

Hua Xiong looked at the expressions of Xun Chen and Ju Shou, thought about it secretly, and decided to tell these two people everything that Li Ru had told him.

As if complaining about Liu Bei's extravagance, Hua Xiong told Xun Chen and Ju Shou something they had noticed a long time ago.

"And the smell of alcohol in the air is because the lord loves wine, but is afraid that drinking will cause trouble.

So he ordered people to pour some of the century-old wine stored in the cellar into the courtyard, saying that if you can’t drink it, you can smell the wine.”

Having said that, Hua Xiong sighed in a hypocritical manner and smacked his lips a few times, as if he was savoring the taste of the wine he had drunk in the past.

Although Hua Xiong's performance was rather exaggerated, coupled with the rich aroma of wine that filled the Keji Hall, Xun Chen and Ju Shou subconsciously ignored Hua Xiong's slightly exaggerated performance.

A glimmer of light flashed in Xun Chen's eyes, and he activated his spiritual talent to simulate whether Hua Xiong's thinking was normal at this moment.

When the faint light went out, Xun Chen nodded slightly to Ju Shou who was looking at him.

When Ju Shou saw Xun Chen nod, his eyes flickered, perhaps he had thought of something. "You two, please come in, the lord is inside." After reaching the main gate, Hua Xiong turned around and said to Ju Shou and Xun Chen.

At this time, Ju Shou and Xun Chen's faces looked a little bad. They had already walked to the main entrance of the Keji Hall, but Liu Bei didn't come to greet them.

As they worked under Yuan Shao, who was a man of three generations of high officials, they attached great importance to etiquette.

However, Liu Bei and Hua Xiong did not intend to be particular about this aspect.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to take some time out to meet with Xun Chen and Ju Shou was simply because both of them had awakened their spiritual talents.

As for Yuan Shao, whom they both represent?
I'm sorry, if Liu Bei hadn't been too full during this period, he would definitely have joined forces with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou to take over Jizhou.

They are enemies to begin with, so what else is there to talk about?

When Hua Xiong led Xun Chen and Ju Shou into the Keji Hall, they saw Liu Bei sitting behind a table. The table was covered with various official documents, almost covering the entire table.

As mentioned before, if Yuan Shao had not sent Ju Shou and Xun Chen, two top wise men, Liu Bei would not have taken the time to meet these two people.

Apart from providing relevant resources, the Government Affairs Office did not participate in the arrangements for the Jingling Hall Grand Ceremony.

As for why the Government Affairs Department did not get too involved, it was because Chen Xi and his team had to deal with government affairs.

Liu Bei himself also wanted to take some action. After all, he couldn't leave everything to his civil and military officials.

Of course, even if Liu Bei wanted to preside over the Jingling Hall ceremony himself, he had to consider whether he was capable of doing the job.

If this Jingling Temple ceremony was the kind of internal ceremony they had originally imagined, Liu Bei would have taken action without saying a word.

After all, it was just an internal ceremony to honor the heroic spirits. Even if it went wrong, Liu Bei would at most never touch this kind of work again.

However, for reasons that are well known to everyone, the original internal sacrificial ceremony has now become a sacrificial ceremony open to the public.

Therefore, if Liu Bei messed up this sacrificial ceremony under the watch of outside forces, it would not be just Liu Bei who would be embarrassed.

Therefore, Liu Bei found himself an assistant, Yang Ji, because Yang Ji was quite idle recently.

As a result, everyone knows that Yang Ji's plan to participate in the sacrifice was rejected by Taoist Zuo Ci, the chief priest of Jingling Hall.

Because Yang Ji is not suitable to participate in it, Liu Bei will basically be in charge of various work arrangements for tomorrow's Jingling Temple ceremony.

In addition to Yang Ji, Zhao Yun is also more suitable to participate in the hosting of the Jingling Hall Grand Ceremony, but Zhao Yun is currently busy with the relocation of the people.

However, Liu Bei directly rejected Zhao Yun's request to participate in this matter, and asked him to properly resettle the people who moved from Jizhou to Yanzhou, and just come back to burn incense when the grand sacrifice began tomorrow.

As for Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong, two senior generals who were in Fenggao, Liu Bei felt that it would be better for him to do it himself.

After the proposal of Yang Ji as an assistant was rejected by the chief priest, Liu Bei thought of Cao Cao in the military camp.

After all, Cao Cao did have some ability, but he was just unlucky enough to meet an unreasonable guy.

However, the ones who vetoed Cao Cao this time were not Zuo Ci, the chief sacrificer, but Chen Xi and others in the Government Affairs Hall, excluding Xun Yu and others.

Liu Bei was not surprised that Cao Cao was rejected. After all, although Cao Cao was capable enough, his identity was rather embarrassing, especially at this time.

Therefore, Liu Bei had no choice but to abandon his assistant's lazy idea and choose to do it himself and arrange the Jingling Hall sacrifice clearly.

If one wants to arrange the Jingling Temple Grand Ceremony clearly, one must consult the people in the Government Affairs Office.

However, even the people in the Government Affairs Department could not arrange everything properly at the beginning.

Therefore, even when meeting with Xun Chen and Ju Su, the two envoys sent by Yuan Shao, Liu Bei was still checking the procedures and preparatory plans for tomorrow's grand sacrifice to avoid any problems tomorrow.

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Hua Xiong and the other two who walked into the Keji Hall, but the sight of these three people made Liu Bei's expression a little subtle.

Hua Xiong saluted Liu Bei normally, informed him of the arrival of Xun Chen and Ju Shou, and then stood aside.

However, Xun Chen and Ju Shou behaved a little impolitely. They actually stared at the crystal table in front of Liu Bei and the set of crystal tea sets beside it.

"What are you two doing here?" Liu Bei asked Xun Chen and Ju Su calmly.

He now does not need to use various means to paralyze other princes, he just needs to calmly demonstrate the strength he possesses.

Yuan Shao? Ha, just like what Cao Cao said [Yuan Shao is fierce in appearance but weak in courage, good at making plans but without decision; cherishes his life when doing great things, forgets his life when seeing small profits: he is not a hero! ]

If Yuan Shao could send troops to Yanzhou to fight with them before they conquered Yanzhou and help Cao Cao defend Yanzhou, Liu Bei might have paid more attention to Yuan Shao's strength.

As for now, that's it.

What's more, Yuan Shao can't spare much energy to guard against Liu Bei now, because Gongsun Zan of Youzhou in the north has already wiped out all the Xianbei Hu people who dared to invade the south.

Although in the perception of most people, Gongsun Zan should not start another war with Jizhou at this time.

However, it was not Gongsun Zan who wanted to start a war at this time, but the Jizhou Group where Yuan Shao was located.

If possible, Gongsun Zan didn't want to go to war with Yuan Shao at this time.

Although Liu Yu no longer had to worry about Gongsun Zan's food supplies because of the deal between him and Chen Xi.

However, the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu has always existed. This is not only a conflict between the Iron-Blooded Faction and the Educational Faction, but also a conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu.

In the battle of Jie Bridge, because the Baima Yicong were not completely destroyed, Gongsun Zan did not lose his brain.

However, even if he had not lost his brain, Gongsun Zan had almost reached his limit facing Liu Yu who kept teasing him.

It was precisely because he did not lose his brain that Gongsun Zan knew clearly that Liu Yu could not get into trouble in his hands.

He still has to be sent out of Youzhou, preferably to Chang'an, so that Liu Yu can participate in the dog fights in Chang'an City and have no time to deal with the affairs of Youzhou.

In fact, Gongsun Zan did exactly that, but something went wrong in the process of executing the action.

It's not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster. It should be a natural disaster, right?
When Gongsun Zan led the White Horse Volunteers to leave Jizhou and return to Youzhou, didn't he temporarily lent the command of the 100,000 infantry who were temporarily unable to evacuate Jizhou to Yang Ji?
