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

Chapter 302: Feeling more timid when close to hometown

"Your Excellency, please!"

Lu Bu looked at the man sitting opposite him with a smile on his face. The man was wearing coarse linen clothes, had rough skin and his hands were full of wrinkles. He could tell at a glance that this man had been traveling for many years and had been through a lot.

However, he liked the look of this man very much. He looked like someone who had seen the world. Even when facing soldiers holding weapons, this man remained calm and did not show a trace of fear.

Lu Bu was born in a humble family, and compared to scholars, he preferred to be close to people like this one.

Not to mention that this person used all his wealth to support himself.

Lu Bu ordered his men to fill wine glasses for himself and the person in front of him.

"I don't even know your name, could you tell me?"

Hearing this, the 'noble' put down his wine cup, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Mr. Lu, my name is Fang."

"Fang?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, "You don't have a surname?"

This question seemed to have irritated the nobleman, reminding him of his sad past. He choked up and said, "It's not that I don't have a surname. I had brothers and sisters, but I made a big mistake. That's why I'm now a lonely man."

"As for my last name, it's Mi."

After asking the reason, Lu Bu felt a little at a loss.

In his opinion, something must have happened in this person's family, causing the family to be broken up and even his brothers and sisters to die because of this person.

How could he not feel the same way?

Ugh.

It's not easy.

Just as Lu Bu was sighing, Gao Shun walked into the tent holding the bamboo slips.

"Mr. Lu, the matter of food and fodder"

When Gao Shun saw Mi Fang present, he was slightly stunned. He decisively shut his mouth, walked to the table beside him, and put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Mr. Lu, I'll leave it here. Please deal with it later."

Lu Bu's brows fell, his face showing pain. He waved his hands towards Gao Shun, "I understand."

"Mr. Lu, why do you look so sad?" Mi Fang asked.

Lu Bu sighed, "Brother Mi, you don't know. When I was the chief clerk, I handled such a small matter. Now I am leading the troops outside and I have to deal with this matter. Don't you think I have led the troops in vain?!"

As he was speaking, Lu Bu picked up the wine cup in great indignation and smashed it against the table, breaking it into pieces.

Mi Fang hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Can I watch a little?"

"Why not?" Lu Bu stood up, took out a piece and handed it to Mi Fang.

Among the army of a hundred men, there was no one who could share the burden on his shoulders. He had always liked Mi Fang and wanted to keep him. After all, wasn't it better to serve General Li Zhuo than to be a horse dealer?
It would be great if this gentleman understood such trivial matters.

After a few breaths, under Lu Bu's nervous gaze, Mi Fang slowly spoke, "It's simple, Lu Jun, listen to me."

Everything Mi Fang said made sense, and he explained it clearly in simple words. This made Lu Bu's eyes widen. He felt like he had found a treasure!

"Mr. Mi, I hope you can lend me a helping hand!"

Lu Bu imitated others who visited famous scholars, restrained his expression, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Mi Fang.

But his eyes were fixed on Mi Fang. He was not a famous scholar and he never talked about empty things. Even if Mi Fang disagreed, he would force Mi Fang to stay.

The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst.

Although Lu Bu did not know this sentence, he deeply agreed with the logic behind it.

"This"

"I"

Mi Fang was a little hesitant and wavering.

Lu Bu took a step closer and said aggressively: "Brother Mi, if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like wearing embroidered clothes and walking at night. No one will know it! Follow us and become high officials. Let those who looked down on you and me envy us. Isn't it wonderful?!"

There was a hint of impatience in Lu Bu's voice, as if to say, if you don't agree, I'm going to get angry.

Mi Fang was silent for a long time. Just when Lv Bu's patience was about to run out, Mi Fang finally nodded and sighed, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." "Hahaha!" Lv Bu hugged Mi Fang and laughed heartily, "Brother Mi, please call me by my courtesy name in private. My courtesy name is Fengxian. Speaking of courtesy names, do you have a courtesy name, brother Mi?"

"Yes, my name is Zifang."

"Zifang? Hahaha, good name, good name is decided just like that!"

Mi Fang gave a helpless smile.

Lu Bu smiled even more brightly.

Little did he know that Mi Fang's clenched fists finally loosened, and the huge stone in his heart finally fell.

The first step is finally accomplished.

He did not come to the border county on impulse to look for an unknown person.

He was entrusted by someone.

This person was his brother’s good friend Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

As for how he knew Chen Yuanlong
The time goes back a few years. Ever since Mi Fang went to Liangzhou, he seemed to have been enlightened. He keenly sensed that Liangzhou would definitely not stop here, and there would be more and more new and interesting things.

It just so happened that he also knew General Zilong.

Although General Zilong was selfless, the officials in the government office performed their duties impartially.

But the merchants, peddlers and porters who came and went were not like that. He took advantage of the fact that "Hanyang County Magistrate Zhao Yun knew him" and earned his first money from the merchants who came and went.

Once you have the first sum of money, everything else will become easier.

Traveling merchants essentially buy low and sell high, purchasing local specialties and selling them far away.

Jincheng has a dizzying array of specialties. Mi Fang started out by selling small quantities of cheap goods. After several years of hard work, he gradually expanded from a traveling merchant to a merchant caravan of a hundred people.

Just when he thought he had the confidence to stand in front of Mi Zhu and say, "Brother, I am no longer the same person I used to be."

However, no matter how gorgeous his clothes were, when he returned to his hometown, even when he stood on the streets of Qu County, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, which made him stop and almost run away.

But now that we're here, wouldn't it be a bad idea to just give up?
Just when Mi Fang was struggling between heaven and man.

A clear sound like the sound of nature rang in my ears.

"Are you the second brother?"

Almost subconsciously, Mi Fang covered her face with her sleeves and said in a low voice, "You've got the wrong person. My last name is not Mi."

"Hey, did I call you by your last name?"

Mi Fang had no choice but to put down his sleeves. What he saw was a smile with curved eyebrows and eyes, cunning and agile like a fox who had succeeded in his plan.
He was brewing his emotions, wanting to act cool in front of his little sister, wanting to wave his hand and curl his lips indifferently, "Long time no see, little sister, your second brother is now also a well-known businessman."

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get them out. Even God was not on his side, as the rain wet his eyes, making everything blurry.

The voice also became intermittent.

The content of the speech is also completely different from what was just said.

"Little sister, I promised my brother. I did it."

"Well, you are worthy of being my second brother. Thank you for your hard work during the tiring journey."

Hearing this, Mi Fang could no longer hold back. Tears flowed out like a flood and he burst into tears.

Mi Xiaomei stood quietly beside him to accompany him.

Even he didn't know how much time had passed, his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Mi Xiaomei said with a smile: "Second brother, why do you look like a woman?"

"Little sister, are you here just to tease me?" Mi Zhu counterattacked in a relaxed tone.

"No." Unexpectedly, Mi Xiaomei shook her head, "Second brother, someone wants to see you."

"See me? Who?"

"Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong."
