Chapter 17 Mi Brothers
Xuzhou
Donghae County

Qu County
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."

Mi Zhu stroked his head, his eyebrows twisted into a rope, and he muttered to himself.

"Brother!"

A young man who looked somewhat like Mi Zhu rushed into the house in a hurry.

Mi Zhu opened his eyes, and the look of reminiscence in his pupils disappeared. After seeing the anxious expression of the visitor, his brows furrowed even deeper.

The man in front of him was his younger brother, named Mi Fang, also known by his courtesy name Zifang.

Their family was a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, not as good as the rich, but better than the poor. Even if they were not as good as the gentry, they were much better than merchants like Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping who were neither good nor bad.

Perhaps it was because all the family's resources and efforts were poured into Mi Zhu, which resulted in Mi Fang being neither good at literature nor martial arts, being cautious about doing small things and cherishing his life when doing big things, retreating when faced with setbacks, and revealing everything when threatened.

The only thing Mi Fang had was that he listened to him.

"Zifang? How many times have I told you to stay calm in everything? What problem have you encountered now?"

Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang. The task he assigned to his silly brother was very simple, which was to go to the market to listen, see, and understand. He didn't want to find any goods with business opportunities, but hoped to improve his character.

Unexpectedly, after so much time, there was still not much progress, which really made Mi Zhu a little frustrated.

"It's not that we encountered any problems, but the merchants who came into the city early this morning brought some new things. Look, brother." Mi Fang took out a small stool and waved it in front of Mi Zhu.

"Oh, it looks a bit like a Huchuang, what is it?" Mi Zhu relaxed his brows.

"This is called a chair. I heard that it was made by a filial son to take care of his mother's waist. Of course, it is not this style. It is a larger chair that can be leaned on, so it is called a chair. I have asked the servants to bring it. It should be on the way back."

"That's it, that's it."

Mi Zhu nodded and took the bench, then looked at it carefully. It was shorter than a Huchuang and not complicated to make, so it seemed there was no money to be made from it.

As for the so-called filial son, it was the biggest joke Mi Zhu had ever heard. Even if the chair was simple to make, it was impossible for it to be made by some unknown scholar.

"By the way, what is the name of that filial son?" Mi Zhu said indifferently.

He thought to himself, remember this name, if I have the chance to meet him in the future, I must be more careful.

"What's the name?" Mi Fang scratched his head. "It's a strange-sounding name. I've never seen it before."

That person should not be from Xuzhou. It is really unwise to sell his life at this time. He must be an ordinary tyrant.

Mi Zhu felt very contemptuous.

"Shout, shout!" Mi Fang was still struggling to respond, when suddenly an idea came to him and he shouted out.

"Call me Liu Bei! Yes, Liu Bei!"

"?!!!!!!"

Mi Zhu's eyes were filled with astonishment. Even when the bench in his hand fell and hit his foot, he did not react at all. He stared straight at Mi Fang.

This scared Mi Fang. He had never seen such a brother before. He was so scared that he shrank his neck like a turtle.

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande?!"

Mi Zhu stood up suddenly.

"Yes, yes, my brother is Liu, Liu Bei Liu Xuande," Mi Fang replied tremblingly.

Mi Zhu continued to ask, "But is it Liu Bei Liu Xuande from Lousang Village, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou?"

"what?"

Mi Fang was a little dumbfounded, thinking, if he is not my brother, how do you know so much? Could he be our biological brother who was left behind?

"Yes, yes," Mi Fang nodded hesitantly.

After receiving a positive answer, Mi Zhu felt a sense of relief in his heart. It seemed as if all the strength in his body was drained away. He sat down on the mat in an ungraceful manner and laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

"?" Mi Fang blinked and asked tentatively: "Brother, are you suffering from hysteria?"

Mi Zhu's laughter gradually faded, and he cursed, "Fuck you, Nai Gong is fine, how could he have hysteria?"

"Why are you laughing, brother?" "Do you know who Liu Bei is?"

"I don't know." Mi Fang shook his head. "I've never heard of him. I guess he's just a minor character."

Mi Zhu closed his eyes and his frown completely relaxed, as if he was recalling something.

It was the first time that Mi Fang saw this expression on Mi Zhu's face. She secretly thought: Is this Liu Bei a young lady? Is she my brother's sweetheart? No, how can a girl be named Bei, and even Xuande?
And brother, why don’t you say anything? It’s really driving me crazy.

Mi Zhu finally spoke, "Liu Bei, descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing."

"Oh? He's still a relative of the Han Dynasty." Mi Fang was a little surprised, but after being surprised, he immediately reacted, "But the Han Dynasty relatives of Prince Jing of Zhongshan are worthless at all. There are at least hundreds of thousands of such Han Dynasty relatives in the world."

"Zifang, be careful with your words!!!" Mi Zhu scolded. He glared at Mi Fang. Even if you are telling the truth, is it possible for you and I to talk about clan members?

Mi Fang shrank his head and muttered, "Anyway, there are only you and me here. Could it be that my brother wants to arrest me and hand me over to the government?"

Mi Zhu raised his eyebrows, "What?"

Mi Fang shut up obediently.

"Brother, please continue."

Mi Zhu went on to say: "Liu Bei was not an ordinary person. Although he made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, he had great ambitions. Even in the face of adversity, he could bend and stretch himself and wait for the right time. He always wanted to serve the country and bring peace to the people. Although he lived in Zhuo County, he was able to sort out the situation in the world. He formed a brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, fought against the Yellow Turbans, killed Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan, designed a plan to defeat Zhang Bao, and saved Dong Zhuo."

"Yes," Mi Zhu sighed, "Liu, Guan, and Zhang are all commoners. Dong Zhuo thinks highly of himself and completely despises the three of them. Even though they have made great military achievements, in the end they only get the title of lieutenant of Anxi County."

Mi Fang, who was so engrossed in listening to the story, slapped his thigh fiercely, "This dog official is really going too far! No, wait, brother, why did you jump directly to the Yellow Turbans? The Yellow Turban Rebellion only started recently, right?"

As Mi Fang was speaking, a bold idea came to his mind and his eyes widened.

“That won’t do—!”

"Yes, it was the immortal who asked me to tell me what will happen in the future." Mi Zhu said generously.

Mi Fang stood up excitedly, "Taiyi, this is Taiyi appearing, brother, hurry up, let's go buy more chairs now!"

"Wait a minute, Zifang. I haven't finished yet."

"Oh." Mi Fang sat down obediently.

"When Liu Bei governed Anxi County, he did not harm the people and won their hearts. Even when the governor wanted to take away his position, he would never compromise and instead whipped the guy."

"Haha," Mi Fang laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that Liu Bei is also a man of temperament."

"Zifang, do you know my ambition?" Mi Zhu suddenly asked.

"Ambition?" Mi Fang scratched his head. "Brother, do you want to emulate Lu Buwei?"

Mi Zhu shook his head, "No, small merchants seek wealth, big merchants seek the country. But that's not my ambition."

"That is?"

"To rule the world." Mi Zhu grinned. "I am very greedy. I want all people in the future to remember that in addition to Doctor Fan Li, there is also a person like me. When mentioning the name Mi Zhu, everyone can praise him and say that he is a wealthy businessman. He helped the wise ruler in times of crisis. After the world was pacified, he spent all his wealth to save people in need."

"Brother, you want to leave your name in history." Mi Fang sighed, "Then what should we do this time?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Since Liu Shijun wants fame, then we should help him. It is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake."

"Brother, just leave this matter to me." Mi Fang patted his chest and promised.

Mi Zhu shook his head, "No, Zifang, you have more important things to do."

Mi Fang's eyes were full of anticipation. "What's the matter?!"

Mi Zhu raised his foot and Mi Fang looked puzzled.

"Go find me a doctor."

"why"

"Your feet are red and swollen from being hit, can't you see?"
