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

Chapter 202 Heading to Luoyang (4k)

The victory of Shule City caused a huge storm in the Western Regions. The small moves of various countries were destroyed before they could be implemented due to Zhang Liao's astonishing victory.

With the cold wind of winter, Zhang Liao's reputation, after Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people in the Western Regions. Whenever a child cried, the parents would bring up Zhang Liao's name and whisper, "If you cry again, Zhang Wenyuan will come!"

After these words were spoken, not only crying but even sobbing would cease.

Of course, this is all afterthought.

The news of Shule City's great victory had not yet reached Yunwu County, but Jia Xu got up from his bed early, and his wife held the baby, who was less than one year old, and talked to the child tirelessly. It was obviously too much to ask a child of this age to speak. The child listened to his wife's words and could only stretch out his hands randomly, grab things, and then giggle.

But compared with the past, there was a hint of silver on the boy's neck.

Jia Xu knew very well that it was a longevity lock.

Since Liu Bei returned to Yunwu County, he personally put longevity locks on Guan Ping, Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Huang Xu.

As he thought about it, Jia Xu's mouth curled up slightly. He hurriedly ate the food prepared by his wife, tightened his fur coat, and walked out of the house.

After walking a few steps, Jia Xu saw several familiar figures. He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. Wasn't it Sun Qian, Fa Zheng and a few other children shoveling snow?

"oops"

With a cry of pain, the porter carrying the basket fell to the ground.

Jia Xu was about to step forward to help, but someone was faster than him.

"Are you all right?"

The first person to help the porter up was Ma Chao, whose face was red from the cold. Ma Dai and Huang Xu followed closely behind him. They squatted down and helped the porter pick up the small objects that had fallen to the ground. These were small wooden components used in house construction.

"Jia Gongcao!"

Huang Xu spotted Jia Xu's figure and ran to him panting.

"Xu, what's the matter?" Jia Xu asked kindly with his hands on his knees. Perhaps it was because he had a son, when he looked at these children, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.

Huang Xu looked around like a thieving cat. He waved at Jia Xu, who immediately understood and put his ear close to Huang Xu's mouth.

Hot air came out of the boy's mouth, along with uneasy sounds, and flowed into his ears.

"Jia Gongcao, Uncle Jia, I'm asking on behalf of my second brother. When the lord was away, my second brother played with the wooden horse every day. After the lord came back, although my second brother still didn't let me touch it, I noticed that he didn't play with the wooden horse much. So I wanted to ask you when the lord left."

"Are you asking this?"

Jia Xu recalled the moment when Liu Bei received the emperor's edict and estimated the time of departure. After a quick calculation, he realized that it would be within these few days.

Reaching out and rubbing Huang Xu's chubby face, Jia Xu decided to keep it secret, "I don't know either."

"You don't know either?" Huang Xu did not doubt Jia Xu. He lowered his head and prepared to leave dejectedly, but suddenly he stopped and turned back to Jia Xu.

He clasped his fists towards Jia Xu and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jia."

After saying this, Huang Xu turned around and walked away.

"Gongyou teaches really well."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Jia Xu looked back and saw Liu Bei, wearing a fur coat and holding a shovel, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"My lord, this is all thanks to you."

Jia Xu's sudden words made Liu Bei feel confused.

"Wenhe, you must be joking. I'm far away in the Western Regions, how can I teach them?"

"My Lord, you don't know that when Gongyou taught them the principles of life, he always used you as an example."

"Take me as an example?" Liu Bei shook his head. "It's not a good idea to imitate my street fighting."

After saying this, Liu Bei and Jia Xu smiled at each other.

Handing the snow shovel to the personal guard who followed him, Liu Bei walked to Jia Xu. He looked around. After spending these days in the county town, he was sure that the county town had completely gotten rid of the decadence when Han Yue, a native of Liangzhou, was in power. Brand-new buildings were rising from the ground, and commercial and residential areas were clearly separated. The expected planning was completed in Jia Xu's hands.

He said with emotion: "Wenhe is really my arm. Jincheng County is lucky to have Wenhe."

"My Lord, I only played a small role, you see."

Jia Xu pointed to the small components in the porter's basket and said, "General Zilong unified the construction standards and quantified the standards of each component. Without his contribution, we would not have been able to complete the repairs so quickly."

He pointed to the soldiers passing by and said, "General Han Sheng trained the soldiers, improved public order, and eliminated bandits. Without his contributions, how could we carry out our policies?"

"There are also the efforts of Hua Changshi, Zhang Zhongjing and other medical officers to ensure the health of county officials and the people, Xianhe's writing and accounting, Gongyou's teaching and sacrifices, which are not the achievements of me alone."

"Thank you for your advice," Liu Bei said sincerely.

Looking at the seriousness on Jia Xu's face, he listened to Jia Xu listing the contributions of officials of all ranks in the counties and prefectures.

Liu Bei thought to himself: Wenhe, just as I expected, you are drifting further and further away from the poisonous scholar in the book.

Arrived at the county government.

Jia Xu took out a pile of letters and handed them to Liu Bei.

"So many?" Liu Bei was surprised.

"It's a letter from Mr. Mi."

Liu Bei was not surprised to hear Jia Xu address Mi Zhu as 'Mr. Mi'. After all, Jia Xu took over the government affairs of Jincheng County. Even if he did not meet Mi Zhu, he could not avoid dealing with the Mi family caravan heading north.

Mi Zhu is their greatest helper.

Even Liu Bei understood this principle, so it is possible that Jia Xu did not understand it.

only.
“That’s too much”

Liu Bei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Zi Zhong, oh Zi Zhong, we can meet in the fairyland, why bother writing a letter?

But he still picked up a letter and opened it. He found that it had been a long time since then.

It seems that the letters that have been piling up for a long time have finally arrived together recently.

Liu Bei read them one by one. When he saw the last letter, he subconsciously read out the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar name.

"Pull the needle."

"Pull the move?"

Jia Xu, who was waiting on the side, asked, "My lord, who is Qian Zhao?"

After folding the letter and stuffing it into the envelope, Liu Bei lowered his eyebrows, as if memories of his youth were flooding into his mind. He explained, "Qian Zhao, whose courtesy name is Zijing, is a good friend I met when I was young and went out to study with my cousin Liu Deran."

"Friend. Anyone who can be considered a friend by the lord must be extraordinary. May I ask where this person is now? Could it be that Mr. Mi has found him again?"

Liu Bei shook his head. "Zijing has not yet entered the government. I once asked someone to find out that he was studying under the great scholar Le Yin in Jizhou. I never expected that he would go to Luoyang and have an argument with Yuan Shu's cousin. He was arrested by the court and thrown into prison. Thanks to Zi Zhong who used money to open up connections and the power of the eunuchs, Zijing was rescued from prison."

"So that's it." When Jia Xu heard Liu Bei mention Yuan Shu, his voice became much heavier. He always felt that his master had some complicated relationship with Yuan Shu. His mind instantly became active. He thought: Could it be an enemy? But... The Yuan family has three dukes in four generations. Even if Yuan Shu is the second son, it is impossible for him to have any connection with the master? Am I worrying too much?
"My Lord, may I ask Yuan?"

Before Jia Xu could even utter the word "technique", the hurried figure of his personal guard interrupted him.

"Report, General, there is a strange convoy outside the city, and the leader claims to be entrusted by Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong!"

The guards' voices were as powerful as thunder.

Liu Bei did not stand up immediately. He looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, what did you say just now?"

"Nothing." Jia Xu shook his head and bowed to Liu Bei. "My lord, please take care of the important matters."

Seeing that Jia Xu was unwilling to say more, Liu Bei did not force him. He stood up and invited Jia Xu to

"Wenhe, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "My lord, I still have official business to attend to."

Looking at Liu Bei's back gradually disappearing from his sight, he frowned slightly and chewed the three words "Chen Yuanlong" in his mouth.

He had been an official in Luoyang, so he had naturally heard scholars bragging about the outstanding young men in their clans.

Chen Yuanlong should be one of them, but I can't remember who he is.
Thousands of thoughts gradually surfaced in my mind.

The next moment, his brows relaxed. He remembered it. He remembered it.

The son of Chen Gui, Prime Minister of Pei State!
"Did Chen Yuanlong also go to the fairyland?"

With a murmur, Jia Xu stood up and walked towards the Government Affairs Hall without hesitation.

"Be gentle, be gentle, you can't afford to pay for it if it breaks!"

The leader of the caravan was commanding everyone in a high-handed manner, and the whip in his hand kept whipping the roadside, as if to show off his majesty.

"Tsk, you don't dare to really hit me."

The footman muttered, but his hands and feet were indeed much gentler. He looked at his dark and thin companion beside him and felt that he was a stranger.

He pushed the man with his shoulder and asked, "Brother, you look unfamiliar to me. Are you from our caravan? What's your name and where do you live?"

The man answered the porter's question without any pause, "You can call me Fang, but I am not from your caravan. I got separated from my caravan. It's ridiculous that after I delivered the goods, I got lost and didn't know how to return home. Fortunately, I met your caravan and was willing to accept me."

"I don't hear your accent as that of a Liangzhou person," the porter questioned.

Fang, that is, Mi Fang, confessed: "I am from Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou People"

Xuzhou is far away from Jincheng County, which means that this person joined them halfway and followed them to Yunwu County?
The porter looked at Mi Fang again and felt that he was a simple and honest man. His voice indeed sounded like that of a person from Xuzhou.

The porter, who was already full of resentment, finally found someone to talk to. He chatted with Mi Fang while carrying the goods. When talking about Liu Xuande, he always felt that Mi Fang became strange. He subconsciously joked:
"Fang, the leader of the caravan will meet General Liu soon. You may be able to see him face to face! General Liu is a hero like Marquis Dingyuan."

After saying this, the porter discovered that the talkative Mi Fang was unusually silent. Instead, he lowered his head, and his chapped lips kept trembling.

The porter was at a loss. He hurriedly asked, "Fang, what happened? Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Mi Fang raised his head, a look of pain on his weather-beaten face. He gritted his teeth and spoke in a staccato voice, "No, no, I'll just watch from a distance. I don't have the face to see General Liu."

"Ah?" The porter scratched his head in confusion. He didn't understand. Everyone said that General Liu treated the people well. Would a general like him bother with traveling merchants?

"Why?"

Faced with the porter's questions, Mi Fang fell silent and refused to answer his questions.

The porter lost interest and shut his mouth.

After unloading the goods one by one, Mi Fang, who was standing on the periphery, stretched his head. However, no matter how good he was, no matter how hard he stretched his neck, even if he jumped, he still could not see Liu Bei.

"Snapped"

A big warm hand rested on Mi Fang's shoulder. He shuddered and subconsciously clenched his fists, punching behind him.

"pat"

His fist was caught, easily.

"Don't be nervous. I still remember you. Is your name Fang? Do you still recognize me?"

A familiar voice came into his ears. Mi Fang raised his head in a daze and saw Zhang Yingwu's face. He looked as handsome as a general. No, a general!

He was stunned for several breaths.

"Just to remind you, my last name is Zhao, and I am..." the man said with a smile.

There is no need to say more about the rest of the words. Mi Fang remembered them all.

"It's you, General Zilong!"

Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and asked, "You want to meet General Liu? You can go directly to him. Do you have any concerns? Do you need my help?"

“No, no, no,” Mi Fang shook his head frantically. He quickly explained, “As long as I can see her from a distance, I will be satisfied.”

"This is easy to handle."

Zhao Yun smiled and took out a telescope from his arms and handed it to Mi Fang.

Mi Fang was at a loss with the strange object in his hand. Zhao Yun patiently taught him how to use it. As for worrying that Mi Fang was an assassin? Even if he was an assassin, what kind of assassin could kill Liu Bei in public? Did he have a powerful crossbow? If Mi Fang showed any signs of assassination, he could capture him directly.

Through the telescope, Mi Fang finally saw Liu Bei's face clearly. At this moment Mi Fang was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He wanted to shout out, Brother, brother, you saw me, I I I saw General Liu with my own eyes!

But when he turned around, he remembered Mi Zhu's cold eyes and his indifferent words. The reality completely shattered the excitement that had just risen up. Mi Fang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he even had no strength to lift the telescope. He used his last bit of strength to return the telescope to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun hurriedly helped Mi Fang and asked, "Fang, are you okay? I'll go find a doctor for you."

"No, no need, General Zilong." Mi Fang stopped Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to go see General Liu?"

Mi Fang steadied himself with the help of Zhao Yun. He shook his head and said, "No, I am not worthy, General Zilong. I will come to find General Liu after I become a wise man."

"A wise man."

Looking at Mi Fang who was leaving with the caravan, Zhao Yun seemed to be thinking about something.

Time passed and Liu Bei's departure time was imminent.

"My lord, there are hundreds of these sheep and mules, totaling to more than a thousand. The celestial horses are all strong and healthy under the care of General Zhao."

Outside Yunwu County, Jia Xu said.

Liu Bei nodded, he jumped on his horse and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him:
"Second brother, third brother, follow me to Luoyang!"

　Two in one. I've been busy lately. I'm really sorry to all the benefactors.
