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

Chapter 348 Liu Yuanqi and Liu Deran

"Then get up."

Wei You, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said to Qi Zhou, Cheng Xu, Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yu Yin: "Please follow me to meet the envoy."

Wei You had already spoken, so the others didn't say anything more. They clasped their fists towards Wei You and said, "Yes."

Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yu Yin walked at the end of the group. Even though they were military officers, they still had to save their reputation. When they arrived at the guest house, they saw a surprising scene.

Gongsun Zan, who had always been unruly, actually smiled at Liu Bian and praised him without hesitation, "Hahaha, envoy, your troops are really impressive, and your military strategy is even more impressive. Just now, you and I each sent out a hundred people to practice, and there was actually no one better. It's really amazing!"

"General Gongsun, you are joking. I don't have any military strategy. It's just that the thousands of people who followed me were as good as my own arms. It's their credit."

"Hey, Envoy, that's your fault. You're too modest."

Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yu Yin looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

Did they hear it right? Liu Biao fought Gongsun Zan to a draw???
Although Xianyu Fu was dismissive of Gongsun Zan, he knew exactly who Gongsun Zan was. He was the nightmare of the Wuhuan people!

If he were really asked to attack Gongsun Zan, he would be frightened before the war even started, let alone fighting a battle.

Wei You spoke at this time, "Envoy."

This made Gongsun Zan stop smiling and he lost his mood.

Liu Biao looked at Wei You, and unlike his previous indifference, he asked enthusiastically: "I hope Wei Biejia will forgive me. The previous matter is of great importance and needs to be kept secret."

"Excuse me, sir, what happened to them?" Wei You asked.

Liu Biao said calmly: "I sent them to Mount Tai."

Such light words made everyone except Wei You tremble in their hearts. Mount Tai is the home of souls, and the meaning of his words is self-evident. Those who clamored to kill Gongsun Zan were probably killed in time.
Qi Zhou felt his scalp tingling when he thought of this. He originally thought that Liu Biao was as kind as Liu Yu, but now it seems that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing! So many people said to kill him, so he killed him!
"My dear, there is one thing I don't understand. How should we deal with the clans of Zhang Xing and others?" Liu Biao asked.

Wei You thought for a moment and gave an answer, "Sir, why not kill a chicken to scare the monkeys? Publicize the secret letter of communication with Wuhuan, kill Zhang Xing's father and brother, punish the men of Zhang family as slaves and the women as maids. As for other large families, only convict the branch of people who participated in the rebellion to show your grace."

"Good." Liu Biao nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Wei You's answer.

This made Qi Zhou and Cheng Xu look at Wei You in disbelief. Why was Wei Biejia so cruel?

Liu Biao suddenly thought of something, "There is one more thing. I want to recruit two people myself."

"Excuse me?" Wei You asked.

Liu Biao smiled, "Zhuo County, Lousang Village, Liu family, Liu Yuanqi and Liu Deran."

"Oh?" Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes slightly. Liu Deran, sounds so familiar.
Wait a minute, isn’t this Xuande’s cousin?

Lousang Village

A sharp sound came out from a house in a courtyard surrounded by a fence, startling the chickens and ducks so much that they flapped their wings up and down.

"Okay! Okay! You are great, Liu Yuanqi! If my sister-in-law hadn't told me today, I would have been tricked into death by you!"

"It turns out that Xuande invited you to Jingzhou to attend Xuande's wedding, and you actually sent your entire clan!"

"Even though you were busy with clan affairs and couldn't spare time, you didn't even want to let the clan members reveal our relationship with Xuande!"

"Don't let Xuande find an official position for my son!"

"Is there anyone in the world who is as good as you as a father?"

Facing his wife's accusations, Liu Yuanqi didn't say anything. He just sat on the chair and kept drinking water. When his wife's mouth was dry from talking, he put down the cup and asked, "Are you done?"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" asked the wife.

Liu Yuanqi shook his head. "My dear, this matter is not as simple as you think. Who is Xuande, and who is my son?"

"Although Xuande was the governor of Jingzhou at that time, the situation was not optimistic. Xuande came from Liangzhou, but was sent to Jingzhou by the late emperor. Yizhou was controlled by Liu Yanrang. I think the late emperor was on guard against Xuande. We must not drag Xuande down at this time."

"Besides, Xuande sent rice and meat every year. Even if he was not in Youzhou, he still gave him a lot of rice and meat every year. This is enough to show how filial he is."

Liu Yuanqi's words successfully calmed his wife down, but complaints were still inevitable.

"It's just rice and meat. Xuande is a general of the Wei army, and he is just waiting for rice and meat?" Liu Yuanqi shook his head. "My dear, do you know why the clan members are scrambling to curry favor with me and let me decide all matters in the clan? It's all thanks to Xuande. I knew this boy was extraordinary."

Hearing Liu Yuanqi's sigh, his wife was somewhat upset. "We were both Lu Zhi's disciples, but why did Xuande become a general? Why did Gongsun Bogui become a captain of a surrendered enemy? And my son only became a minor official?"

Liu Yuanqi frowned slightly, "Before Xuande started the rebellion, I asked De Ran to join him, but De Ran was afraid of the sword. You also said that you were afraid of the swords on the battlefield. Who told De Ran to miss it?"

"Missed??? Who can capture the thief leader in a big battle?!"

"This is Xuande's talent. Besides, it's not a bad thing for Deran to be a minor official."

Liu Yuanqi's words completely ignited his wife's anger. His wife angrily said, "De Ran, De Ran, isn't De Ran your son? If you didn't spend the extra money on supporting Xuande's studies, I think the extra money would be used to buy an official position. Would my son be content to work in the county government?"

Liu Yuanqi's face suddenly changed. He stood up and waved his sleeves in disgust, "Buying an official position? That's not what I want! A real man should be an official in an upright manner!"

"What an upright person!" His wife gritted her teeth in anger.

At this moment, three or five tribesmen rushed into Liu Yuanqi's house.

"Brother, brother, are you home? Are you home? A distinguished person has come to visit! A distinguished person has come to visit!"

"A distinguished person?" Liu Yuanqi was a little surprised. Just when he was about to ask who the distinguished person was, armored guards led the way and a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the door, which made everyone look surprised.

Everyone was thinking, could it be a high-ranking official from the county government?
When everyone was puzzled, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked down with a young man.

The middle-aged man was dressed plainly, but his brows were filled with a noble air that made everyone else feel ashamed of themselves.

As for the young man, he is fat and broad-shouldered, and looks very naive.
"Father! Mother!" the young man called out to Liu Yuanqi and his wife with a happy face.

This person is Liu Deran.

Liu Yuanqi's wife was panicked. She waved at Liu Deran again and again, "Son, son, come to me quickly. Don't offend me!"

"Mother, don't worry, my brother doesn't mind these things." Liu Deran said with a smile.

The villagers of Liu clan were shocked when they heard Liu Deran's address. What did Liu Deran address the nobleman as? Brother? ? ?

They looked at each other in bewilderment. Apart from Xuande, when had our clan ever produced such a person?
Could it be Xuande?
His ears aren't that big!

Fortunately, Liu Yuanqi was always calm and composed. He clasped his fists towards the middle-aged man and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Uncle, don't be polite. My surname is Liu, my given name is Jingsheng, and Xuande and I call each other brothers. Xuande's uncle is also my uncle." Liu Biao let go of Liu Deran's hand and bowed to Liu Yuanqi, his words full of respect, "You can call me Jingsheng."

"Who is Liu Jingsheng, Liu Jingsheng?" the villagers whispered.

Someone suddenly said, "Isn't Liu Jingsheng the new governor of Youzhou?"

"The Governor of Youzhou? The Governor of Youzhou is Xuande's brother?!"

"What a blessing! What a blessing!"

All the villagers had smiles on their faces, except Liu Yuanqi's wife, who lowered her head.

Liu Yuanqi suddenly realized, "It turns out to be my nephew! Please come to my humble abode for a chat!"

"Sorry for bothering you." Liu Biao laughed.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Liu Yuanqi and Liu Biao came to the yard. Liu Yuanqi's wife brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of Liu Biao. She rubbed the corners of her clothes nervously and said, "Please enjoy your tea, please enjoy your tea."

"Thank you, aunt." Liu Biao took a sip of tea. He was not vague and went straight to the point, stating his purpose. "I came here this time to thank my fellow villagers. Without your help, how could I have met Xuande? I want to build roads and bridges in Lousang Village and set up a college. Anyone with talent in the village will have the opportunity to become an official. What do you think, uncle?"

how is it?

This is great news!

Liu Yuanqi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"

"There is one more thing." Liu Biao looked at Liu Yuanqi and then at Liu Deran, "I would like to ask my uncle and brother to come out and help me."

Liu Yuanqi's wife widened her eyes. No wonder her husband was not worried at all. I had wronged Xuande!
