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

Chapter 229 Deng Zhi Falls Behind

"Here, give it."

In a village near Xinye, Zheng Tiansheng, who had just returned from washing clothes with his child on his back, distributed corn to the refugees.

Several women passing by saw this and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. They all said

"Sister, don't be too kind. What if you run into a bad person?"

"That's right, sister. If they are not bad guys, what if they are just pretending to be lazy? Wouldn't that be a waste of food?"

Facing the women's reminder, Zheng Tiansheng smiled at them and said gently: "Sisters, please be at ease. I know my limits. If it is a bad guy, the relatives and nephews in the village will lend a hand. If it is a lazy man, as a man, who relies on begging for food, he must have encountered a disaster and needs my help."

Hearing this, the refugees in front of Zheng Tiansheng lowered their heads in shame.

The women looked at each other in bewilderment. Zheng Tiansheng was a well-known good man in the village. Every household had received help from her, and they were no exception. More than one person in the village was worried that Zheng Tiansheng would suffer for doing good deeds, so when they saw this scene, they would try to persuade him. However, what Zheng Tiansheng said made sense, and they could not refute it, so they gave up the idea of continuing to persuade him and just told him.
"Big sister, you must be careful not to get cheated."

"Yes, I heard that recently some big families in Nanjun have brought servants to our house. I don't know why, but it's scary. Big sister, you must pay attention to those big families and scholars!"

However, a few people said sarcastically: "Everyone knows that the eldest sister is a well-known kind person."

Zheng Tiansheng ignored them, just smiled at the people who kindly reminded him, said "thank you", and then watched them go away.

Just then, a strange voice came from behind.

"Mother, mother, the lord is here."

Hearing his son's voice, Zheng Tiansheng looked back and saw his son leading three people and a child towards them. They were dusty and dressed in simple robes, no different from ordinary people, but two of them had strong and sturdy bodies that could not be concealed by mere robes.

The remaining person was not very old, and seemed to be a young man.

The one who spoke was one of the two warriors. He had a very short beard and a gentle face, and he didn't look like a bad guy.

"What can I do for you, my three good men?"

The warrior with a gentle face smiled and said, "We want to go to Nanjun, but the road is long. My three brothers are thirsty and want to ask for a bowl of water from your house. Is that possible?"

"Of course." Zheng Tiansheng said with a smile.

The remaining warriors pointed at the boy who was holding Zheng Tiansheng's trouser leg and suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, thanks to this boy, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find the way to the village. What's his name?"

Zheng Tiansheng's tone softened
"Zhi, Deng Zhi."

"Deng Zhi."

The two warriors looked at each other and were not surprised. Zheng Tiansheng glanced at Deng Zhi and thought that it must be this guy who told the three people their names.

Then a strong man with a gentle face appeared. He touched Deng Zhi's nose and took out a longevity lock. He wanted to put it on Deng Zhi, but Zheng Tiansheng was so scared that he refused repeatedly.

The warrior with a gentle face smiled and said, "With a virtuous mother like sister-in-law, this child will become a great man in the future!"

"Thank you for your kind words"

"Four distinguished guests, this is my home, please come and use the water."

"please"

The fact that Zheng Tiansheng led four people into the yard immediately caused an uproar in the village. Considering the good person Zheng Tiansheng was, even the old father-in-law, who was panting heavily when walking, was worried. The other villagers were sweating in their palms and staring at the yard intently. Those who hated Zheng Tiansheng cursed the four people in their hearts as bad guys.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

After using the water, the four of them left in a hurry.

"ah!"

A cry of surprise came from Zheng Tiansheng's house, and several villagers hurriedly opened the door of Zheng Tiansheng's house.

"Big sister, what happened?"

The words got stuck in their throats halfway through, and they looked at each other. Zheng Tiansheng in front of them was clearly safe and sound.

Someone asked, "What happened to my eldest sister?"

Zheng Tiansheng looked towards the table, and everyone followed his gaze, only to see dozens of coins lying quietly on the chair?
"The four heroes left some money." "Huh"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. It was indeed extravagant to buy a few bowls of water with a few dozen coins, but why make a fuss? It was not a county official who was visiting.
"Brother, brother, something bad has happened."

A villager's shout rang in my ears.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Who were those people just now?"

The villager, with his chest heaving and breathing heavily, pointed outside the yard, his arms trembling constantly, as if he wanted to say something. However, a horse neighed and the sound of hurried horse hooves came closer and closer.

The leader and a child were riding a white horse. Zheng Tiansheng recognized the man riding the white horse at a glance. It was the warrior with a gentle face just now. The difference was that this man had changed his clothes. He was wearing a robe and had a serious face. He did not look like a son of a wealthy family, but more like a general galloping on the battlefield.

It's not over yet. The sound of horse hooves rang out one after another, as dense as firecrackers.

Upon closer inspection, they were a few more knights on horseback.

Among them were the two people Zheng Tiansheng was meeting. One of them shouted, "Envoy, you are going the wrong way, not this direction!"

"Your Majesty."

The villagers around were trembling in their hearts. Even the children playing in the mud with their bare bottoms understood the meaning of the word "Envoy". Looking around Jingzhou, the only person who could bear the title of Envoy was the governor.
This shocked everyone. He was the governor of a province. It was not easy for ordinary people to see a county magistrate, let alone a governor of a province?

I never expected that Zheng Tiansheng would actually receive the governor?!

Most of the villagers smiled and were happy for Zheng Tiansheng from the bottom of their hearts.

Some were happy while others were worried. Those who had always regarded Zheng Tiansheng as a thorn in their side turned pale. What frightened them even more was that the 'envoy' reined in his horse, turned back, smiled at Zheng Tiansheng, and said, "You keep it for yourself."

Then he rode away in a hurry.

Keep it?

what?
These people scratched their heads but couldn't figure out what the governor was talking about. What if it was a token of trust or something? What if Zheng Tiansheng said bad things about them in front of the governor? Would they still have a place to stay in the huge Jingzhou?
Those who used to look down on Zheng Tiansheng now put on a flattering look, came up to her, rubbed their hands, and said with a smile, "Big sister."

"As expected of you, Yuan Zhi, this trick of yours is really good!"

"It was the Lord who executed it well."

There was no one else around, so Xu Shu called Liu Bei "Lord" without restraint.

Huo Du was the only one who was puzzled. After some conversation, he learned that his brother's immortal presence in his dreams was a common occurrence under Liu Bei's command. No, to be more precise, it was a standard feature of a good general and capable minister.
He is a pillar of talent personally appointed by the immortal
Strange, strange
His brother has it all, why doesn't he?

Could it be that his abilities are mediocre and not worthy of the immortal's attention?
I didn’t expect that the boy just now had all of them, right?

The young Huo Jun seemed to understand his brother's thoughts. He asked, "My Lord, there is one thing I don't understand. Is Deng Zhi powerful?"

Liu Bei touched his head and said with a smile: "He is a good man!"

Xu Shu sighed, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with my lord."

"What's the harm to a nine-year-old child? It's normal for his mother to worry. Not to mention that he is still in primary school in the village. Why force him?"

"nature"

"But, my lord, have you ever heard of Pang Degong?"

"Pang Degong? He is a famous scholar in Jingxiang."

"It is true that Pang Degong is good at teaching children, and Meng Mu moved three times for the sake of his studies."

"Yuanzhi, you."

Liu Bei and Xu Shu smiled at each other.

"Ah!"

Pang Degong, who was teaching Pang Tong, sneezed suddenly. He muttered:
"Could it be that someone is thinking about me?"
