When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 176 Chen Deng, No One Understands Liu Bei Better Than Me
"The two generals are so kind and generous. My son and I will always remember them in our hearts and will repay them with gratitude one day!"

The uneasy woman recovered from her trance and quickly bowed to Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun to thank them. Although she didn't know the importance of General An Han, it was not easy to be associated with a general. As for suspecting Guan Ping of lying, she knew her son's temperament. He was just like her husband. Besides, how could the immortal's dream be false?

"Alas, sister-in-law, you have made us wait!"

Mi Zhu got one step ahead of Zhao Yun and hurried to help the woman up.

Even though the journey to the fairyland solved the nightmare that lingered in his heart, Mi Zhu could not help feeling guilty when facing Guan Ping, who was not even as tall as his waist, and Guan Yu's first wife. It was his bastard brother who caused his sister-in-law to lose her husband and son. How could he feel at ease if he accepted her thanks?

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. General Guan and I are like brothers. You don't have to be polite to us. This is what we should do."

Zhao Yun walked slowly towards them with a smile on his face.

"General Guan?!"

The woman blinked, as if she realized something. She hurriedly pulled Guan Ping aside and asked, "Ping'er, is your father also a general?"

Guan Ping replied honestly: "Former General, Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou Affairs"

"Oh, Heaven and Earth!"

These words immediately made the woman's heart beat faster and she was overjoyed, but she still suppressed her joy and warned Guan Ping, "Ping'er, don't think that you are superior to others just because you are the son of a general and an immortal has visited you in a dream."

"I understand, mother."

After giving Guan Ping's instructions, the woman walked up to Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun, and she enthusiastically added water for them.

"I wonder why the two generals are here?" asked the woman.

Mi Zhu looked at Zhao Yun, who understood instantly, put down his teacup and said with a smile: "I came here this time because General Guan asked me to take you to Liangzhou peacefully to reunite with General Guan. The lord has set up a school for young people to study in the capital, and General Huang will teach you martial arts. If you are sick, there will be doctors to treat you. You don't have to worry about your safety on the road, I will escort you all the way. What do you think?"

"Thank you for your help, General Zilong." The woman said with a smile

Mi Zhu finished drinking the teacup. He smiled and said, "I'd like to trouble my sister-in-law to go with us to Xuzhou for a few days. General Zilong still has official business to attend to."

"I have no objection and am willing to follow the arrangements of the two generals."

"In that case, let's pack up our valuables!" Mi Zhu laughed.

To Mi Zhu's surprise, there were not many things worth packing in Guan Yu's house. He didn't even send out his servants. Only he and Zhao Yun helped to pack up all the belongings.

On the way to Xuzhou, a few people in Zhao Yun's team parted ways with them. Those people were dressed simply, were of burly build, and had dark complexions.

Mi Zhu lowered his voice and asked, "Fourth brother, are they the candidates who were determined to join the Yellow Turban Army during the discussion in the fairyland?"

"That's right." Zhao Yun retracted his gaze, "Mr. Mi, no, Zi Zhong, let's go quickly, don't keep Chen Yuanlong waiting for too long."

Xiapi
Huaipu
Zhao Yun and Mi Zhu entered Huaipu. Xuzhou was indeed a wealthy province. There were many taverns and restaurants in the county town, countless inns, and even more numerous rice and cloth shops.

The sons of the aristocratic families, dressed in gorgeous clothes, called their friends together, pointed out the ways of the country, and angrily criticized the current political situation.

The vendors in coarse linen clothes stayed far away from the group of soldiers' sons. Even the waiters standing in the restaurant and shouting lowered their voices when facing the sons of the gentry, for fear of offending the nobles.

Young Guan Ping was full of curiosity about these things, and Mi Zhu, who was traveling with him, was very perceptive and could see through his thoughts at a glance. He patiently told Guan Ping about the interesting things in the past, and only said goodbye to them after sending Guan Ping and the woman to an inn.

"General Zilong, are these doctors?"

Looking at the strong men, Mi Zhu rubbed his eyes. He had also practiced the Five Animal Exercises, but when he saw Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Wu Pu and other doctors, he always felt it was not real. Were they going to treat Chen Yuanlong or to beat him up?
Hua Tuo smiled and answered for Zhao Yun: "Mr. Mi, I have traveled far and wide to practice medicine. If I am not strong and unfortunately fall down, how can I cure diseases and save lives?"

Zhang Zhongjing nodded affirmatively: "What Hua Changshi said is very true." "I see. I understand."

Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun led more than ten doctors and stopped at the gate of Chen Mansion.

The servants in front of the Chen Mansion were secretly surprised. Fortunately, their young master had repeatedly told them that if Mi Zhu were to visit them in the near future, it would probably cause a joke.

"Please let them know that Mi Zizhong wants to see you!" Mi Zhu clasped his fists.

The servant hurriedly responded, "Mr. Mi, please move to the courtyard. I will go and inform the young master right away!"

Inside the Chen Mansion.

Chen Gui, who was serious, had his hands behind his back. He passed by Chen Deng's room and found the door open, so he walked in and saw Chen Deng leaning comfortably on the recliner, holding a piece of cloth in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand. He reached for the plate on the wooden table with his chopsticks, picked up a large piece of fish sashimi, put it into his mouth, and after just a few bites, he said, "It's so delicious!"

Seeing Chen Deng immersed in his appetite and not noticing his approach, Chen Gui raised his eyebrows, cleared his throat and said,

"Yuanlong."

This successfully brought Chen Deng back to reality. He immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up and saluted Chen Gui.
"Father, why are you here?"

Chen Gui did not answer Chen Deng's question. His eyes darted around Chen Deng's room. The books on the wooden table were neatly arranged. He asked unhappily, "Yuanlong, what are you doing? Have you finished studying the classics today?"

"classic?"

Chen Deng smiled as if he had heard a joke. He said lightly, "It's simple. It's really simple. I know it all."

"Oh? Let me test you."

Chen Gui asked several tricky questions, and Chen Deng answered them easily.

Chen Gui was not too surprised by this. No one knows a son better than his father. Chen Deng loved reading, so it was not surprising that he could answer the question. But why did he keep holding the cloth and looking at it over and over again in recent days and couldn't let it go?

Chen Gui asked, "Yuanlong, what is the cloth in your hand?"

"Father, what are you talking about?" Chen Deng said with a smile, "This is the letter I spent a lot of time and effort to get from Zi Zhong!"

"Letter?" Chen Gui frowned and thought, then he asked, "Yuanlong, which girl is it that you are so concerned about?"

"Woman? How could I be such a vulgar person?" Chen Deng defended, "This is a letter from a great man. The various insights have broadened my horizons and enlightened me!"

"Opinion?" Chen Gui knew who the 'Zi Zhong' Chen Deng was talking about was - Mi Zhu, a big merchant in Xuzhou. He despised merchants and didn't think that there were any powerful people who dealt with merchants, so he naturally looked down on the person who wrote the letter.

Thinking of this, he replied: "Yuanlong, some people can only talk nonsense, but they don't have any knowledge at all!"

"Father, what if this man can go into battle and kill the enemy general?"

"Hmm? Barely a character."

"Father, what if this person governs a county in an orderly manner?"

"Awesome! He's an awesome guy!"

"Father, what if I say this person has fallen on hard times and has no extra money, and all these achievements were completed within a year?"

"One year?" Chen Gui was no longer calm. He said in surprise, "Is there really such a person? It's really amazing!"
