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

Chapter 257 Ping'er, someone is here to accompany you (4k)

“Finally I have some free time”

Liu Bei rubbed his sore and numb brows. Liu Xie's call of "Lord" really made him feel a little overwhelmed.

He looked back and saw that Xu Shu's mouth corners were slightly raised, as if he was trying hard to hold back a smile, but failed to do so.

Liu Bei: “.”

Xu Shu quickly straightened his expression, hugged his feather fan and clasped his fists towards Liu Bei, "My lord, why don't you let me take care of sending your adopted son to school."

Liu Bei just thought it was funny, he fanned at Xu Shu

"go Go."

Xu Shu smiled and extended his hand to Liu Xie.

"No, your highness. Please follow me."

"Um"

After watching Xu Shu lead him away, Liu Bei straightened his clothes and called a personal guard.
"Come on, take me to see Bi Lan."

"promise"

Led by his personal guards, Liu Bei walked out of the provincial capital gate.

Along the way, Liu Bei couldn't help but recall the information about Bi Lan. Most eunuchs were parasites of the country, but Bi Lan was different from other eunuchs. Looking at the world at that time, this man's carpentry skills were also first-class. The prototype of the waterwheel came from this man's hands.

It would be a great loss if such a talented person died.

"My Lord, I have waited for you."

The call of his personal guard brought Liu Bei back to reality. He calmed himself down and found himself in prison. He stopped outside a cell and could glimpse a thin man through the thick prison bars.

The man lowered his head, and his long hair was like wild algae growing wildly on the seabed, covering his face so that even the outline of his face could not be seen clearly. He sat cross-legged on a haystack, wearing a plain white prisoner uniform, but there were no scars on his body.

Under Liu Bei, lynching is strictly prohibited.

For those who have not committed serious faults and are useful, they are mostly given labor and education to make them deeply aware of their mistakes and correct them. They will be released only when they have served the required time in prison.

As if he had sensed someone coming, the man in the prison slowly raised his head and looked around with a pair of dim eyes. When he saw Liu Bei, his pupils trembled and he shouted intermittently:

"Uncle Liu Liu Xuande!"

He felt unhappy in his heart. The Ten Eunuchs had always been arrogant and looked down on others. They even looked down on He Jin, let alone Liu Xuande?
However, at this moment, the offense and defense changed.

How can we not feel sad that he went from being one of the Ten Eunuchs to being a prisoner?

Of course, what Bi Lan didn't understand and was most frightened about was that the scholars in the world were eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but why, after arriving in Jingzhou, was he dragged out to chop wood, fetch water, and sit in the classroom to attend classes?
Could it be a new evil trick?

I finally met the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if he is dead, how can I not ask him clearly and clearly?
Bi Lan had already made up his mind.

So, after Bi Lan revealed Liu Bei's identity, he immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and shouting:

"Marquis Xixiang, please spare my life!"

However, unexpectedly, Liu Bei not only ignored Bi Lan, but also turned to ask the guards around him:

"Didn't I tell him to work while making him realize his past mistakes?"

"Sir, we are following your orders strictly, but he won't listen to a word."

what?
Bi Lan was stunned. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Aren't you going to kill me?"
Just as he was wondering, Liu Bei actually left with his personal guards, without leaving any trace, as if he had never been there.

As time went by, Bi Lan gradually adapted to the prison life in Jiangling. When he was out chopping wood, he heard that Liu Xuande cared about the people's farming, so he kept an eye on them. On his way back, he saw from afar several farmers struggling to fetch water to irrigate their fields.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: what if he modified the overturned car?

When he was still in Luoyang, Bi Lan was a man of action. After working day and night, he finally worked out a rough model in his mind. Later, he asked the jailer for materials and made the first waterwheel in the Han Dynasty.

Before he had time to be happy, he learned that water wheels had already been implemented in Nanyang and Xiangyang. At that time, he saw farmers struggling to carry water, but it was simply because the output of the Gongshifu was not increasing.

Bi Lan was so angry that he wanted to smash the waterwheel to pieces.

Unfortunately, the jailer's words made sense, so he had to give up. Of course, he would never succumb to the jailer's strong arms.

However, strangely, after this incident, craftsmen began to visit the prison one after another.

Bi Lan didn't want to pay attention to them.

Unexpectedly, the jailers were quite polite to these craftsmen and their words were particularly respectful.

He was really puzzled.

So I found a free time and asked
"Brave man, may I ask why you are so respectful to the craftsman?"

Fortunately, the jailer that Bi Lan asked was also willing to talk to Bi Lan.
"You are probably from Jiangling, right? Everyone knows that these craftsmen may look unkempt, but they are actually officials with a salary of 100 dan! The envoy has repeatedly told us to respect them, so how can I not dare to do so?"

"what???"

This really scared Bi Lan.

Craftsman? Official?
The status is so respected?

Am I crazy, or is Liu Xuande crazy?

For a moment, Bi Lan felt that his brain was like a stove with fire burning, emitting smoke continuously.

From then on, Bi Lan did not dare to neglect the craftsmen and patiently explained to them in detail how to make a waterwheel.

As a result, such a strange situation emerged in Jiangling Prison.

As soon as the jailer finished giving Bi Lan a lecture, Bi Lan seamlessly explained it to the craftsmen.

Although they did not know Bi Lan's real name, they gave him a nickname, 'The Prison Master'.

"Stand, I will bring the envoy's son to school."

"Military advisor, please follow me."

Xu Shu and Liu Xie rushed to Yuliangzhou overnight and knocked on the door of the No. 1 elementary school in Xiangyang.

The person who opened the door was none other than Liao Li.

However, Liao Li at this moment was no longer as arrogant as when they first met. When facing Xu Shu, his manners and greetings were extremely appropriate.

Xu Shu heard that Liao Li, who had suffered a blow in the army, took advantage of Liu Bei's wedding to wander aimlessly in Jiangling.

While walking around, I unexpectedly ran into Huo Du's younger brother, Huo Jun.

At that time, Huo Jun was staying with a few teenagers.

Perhaps it was the blow he suffered at the hands of Huo Du that cast a shadow on his heart.

He suddenly had an idea and wanted to test Huo Jun.

However, the shortest of the boys spoke up.
"Dai, go and meet him."

岱？
Liao Li secretly sighed that it was not good. He always felt that this name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. However, as a real man, how could he not fight.

As a result, he suffered a great defeat in terms of military strategy.

Even in the classics, he did not have the upper hand.

Later, he learned that the man was Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai.

He is not even as good as a warrior.

What made Liao Li most frustrated was that he turned around and met Pang Tong.

When Pang Tong praised him as a "genius" and "magnanimous".

Liao Li's face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt, as for Zhuge Liang who was behind Pang Tong.

He didn't even have the courage to look, so he turned around and ran away.

While running, Liao Li bumped into a guy with a long face.

He immediately helped the man up, and when he saw the "Zuo Zhuan" in the man's arms, he asked a related question for some unknown reason.

Then Liao Li saw that man's eyes were shining, and he grabbed his clothes and started talking incessantly.

In the middle of the conversation, the man asked him what he thought.

Liao Li had a bitter face, how else could he look? Of course, he used his eyes!

Why do all the talented people come out in such large numbers when they come to Jiangling? ? ?

If he goes to Luoyang in the future, won't he be nothing? !
From then on, Liao Li resigned from his military post and plunged into the No. 1 Primary School in Xiangyang.

After completing the necessary formalities, Liu Xie became a member of the No. 1 Primary School in Xiangyang. He looked at his blue robe and was overjoyed.

Just when his attention was focused on the clothes, a strange voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Who are you?"

Liu Xie looked up and saw a tall young man.

"My name is Liu Li, and I am the adopted son of the envoy."

"what?!"

The young man immediately became energetic. He walked quickly to Liu Xie's side, put his arm around Liu Xie's shoulders, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"The envoy's son?! Great, great, wonderful, wonderful?"

"?" A question mark slowly popped up in Liu Xie's head. Why is this person so enthusiastic?

Seeing Liu Xie was confused, the young man smiled and said
"Haha, I forgot to tell you." The young man patted his chest with his free hand and laughed loudly: "My last name is Ma Dai!"

After saying this, Ma Dai secretly looked around, like a sneaky guy about to commit a theft.

However, this appearance successfully aroused Liu Xie's curiosity.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ma Dai put his mouth close to Liu Xie's ear.
"Don't tell anyone else, this matter is of great importance!"

Liu Xie covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Dai continued
"Do you know the envoy's third brother?"

The envoy’s third brother?

Hearing these words, Liu Xie nodded frantically. "Third brother of the envoy? Isn't that just the third uncle? !
Liu Xie remembered Liu Bei's instructions, cut off the thoughts in his mind, and let go of his hand.

"Is it Zhang Yide, General Zhang? Who doesn't know General Zhang's Liangzhou Popular Stories?"

"Yes." Ma Dai nodded in agreement.

"But that's not what I'm talking about."

"That is?"

Ma Dai said mysteriously

"One of us calls the Third General 'Third Brother'"

"And this person is my second brother!"

When saying this, Ma Dai puffed out his chest proudly.

"How great!" Liu Xie clapped his hands in cooperation.

"So you know what to call me, right?"

"Hmm uncle?"

"Hahaha, good Yuko!"

Hearing Liu Xie calling him "Uncle", Ma Dai was delighted and excited. He patted Liu Xie on the shoulder and said,

"Haha, after Ping'er, I have another adopted son!"

"Li'er, don't worry, I won't be much worse than my brother in the future!"

"At least it's a title for military merit!"

"Come to your uncle if you need anything!"

"Uncle, I will definitely do my best to fulfill my duty!"

Ma Dai waved his hand with heroic spirit like clouds!

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Uncle, if you go to war in the future, can you be my deputy general?"

"No way—" Ma Dai's laughter stopped. He looked at Liu Xie with lingering fear, and secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. He actually wanted me to be his deputy general. He really wanted to rebel against Tiangang? !
He was about to say something when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Dai, what are you doing?"

"Brother Er Er, didn't you give up a new son?"

Ma Dai hurriedly introduced the people behind him to Liu Xie

"Li'er, this is my second brother, the Minister of Chancellery, Fa Xiaozhi!"

"The Minister of Chancellery?" Liu Xie said subconsciously: "The Minister of Chancellery is not Yang Gong."

"Oh?"

Fa Zheng narrowed his eyes and scanned Liu Xie from head to toe. This new son of Liu Xie was no ordinary person.
"Lord."

Xu Shu strode into the state capital, his face no longer relaxed as usual. He hurried to Liu Bei, his voice full of anxiety.

"Yuanzhi, what's the matter?"

"Sit down and talk."

While speaking, Liu Bei pointed at the chair.

However, Xu Shu had no time to sit down. He went straight to the point.
"My lord, something is wrong. Have you heard about the decree issued by the general?"

"What's the matter?"

"The general wanted to take away the power to recommend and appoint local governors in Jizhou and Yuzhou, and he attacked the former officials of the Yuan family in the court. Even the minister Zhang Si was not spared!"

Hearing Xu Shu's concerns, Liu Bei couldn't help but frown. With this happening, he naturally understood that Chen Deng's plan to use Xu Jing's mouth to influence He Jin and seek development and expansion space had failed.

He Jin had a large army under his command, but it was divided by Liu Hong and there was resistance from Yuan Shao. Excluding the Luoyang city defense forces, there were probably no more than 10,000 people.

Dong Zhuo's troops were still stationed in Xingyang.

In order to monitor Dong Zhuo, it is still a question whether there are enough 10,000 people to go on the expedition.

Targeting Jizhou and Yuzhou, it was clearly aimed at the Yuan family.

You should know that Yuzhou is the place where the Yuan clan is entrenched, and the current Jizhou governor Han Fu is a former official of the Yuan clan.

The Yuan family has three officials in four generations, and their network of relationships among scholars is already complicated.

Although the group of gentry was loose, He Jin had put a knife to their necks.

Who can guarantee that He Jin will not target other scholars in the future?

"In this case, will the campaign change from attacking Dong to attacking He Jin?!" Liu Bei said worriedly. In his opinion, compared with the nobles, He Jin was more pleasing to the eye. A butcher from a humble background who had been fooled by Yuan Shao from beginning to end could not be that bad.

"Yes." Xu Shu sighed.

Liu Bei suddenly had an idea

"Yuanzhi, have you ever tried to show your goodwill to the general? If you need me, I can help!"

Xu Shu shook his head and said bitterly: "My lord, the intelligence I received was from the general's personal guards. The other party specifically asked, Xixiang Hou, you should watch it carefully!"

As he spoke, Xu Shu took out a piece of jute paper, and saw that the scribbled words on it were exactly the same as what Xu Shu had said.

"This..." Liu Bei couldn't help laughing and thought, how come this great general is like a child?

"Hey, be prepared in case of emergency."

"promise"

Jizhou

Kang dang
Yuan Shao was so angry that he kicked over the table. His face, which was already slightly drunk from drinking, became even redder, and his eyes were as big as bells.

"He Jin, you are bullying me too much!"

"Do you really think that I, the Yuan family, am a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will?!"

"And why are you guys keeping silent?!"

Yuan Shao looked around at everyone present. Han Fu, Feng Fang and others were silent.

He was sad and angry, and said with great sorrow

"We finally managed to escape from Luoyang, but He Jin kept pressing us!"

"This is far better than the Party Imprisonment!"

"Wake up, everyone! He Jin wants to dig up our roots!"

　It's two-in-one again. Please bear with me.
