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

Chapter 93: Lord Fu, become the Protector of the Qiang!

"Ziyi, it must have been a tiring journey. I..."

Liu Bei looked at his clothes, which were covered with dust, as if he had rolled around in a field.

In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​grabbing Taishi Ci's arm.

Taishi Ci didn't mind. He bowed to Liu Bei and said sincerely, "Ci, I'm honored to meet you, Lord. I dare not hide the truth from you. I have a question in my heart. Why does Mr. Mi miss you so much? Since coming to Jincheng County, especially seeing you, it's like the fog has been cleared and the sun has finally come out! Keeping a promise is only a small righteousness. Expelling bandits, protecting the country and the people, and providing medical care for the elderly are great righteousness! A real man should hold a three-foot sword and spread righteousness to the world! Ci, I'm honored to meet you, Lord!!!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a long time by Taishi Ci's behavior. He felt that what was happening before his eyes was not real. He and Taishi Ci had no connection. Although Mi Zhu mentioned in the letter that he wanted to look for Taishi Ci, their real meeting was just their first meeting in the shed just now.

But when he looked at Taishi Ci, his young face was full of determination, and the will brewing in his eyes was so hot that even the evil ones dared not approach.

Liu Bei seemed to see himself in Zhuo County, young and passionate. Sometimes, many things are difficult to express in words. Which moment made Taishi Zici make the decision?

Liu Bei didn't want to delve into it. Since Tai Shi Zi Yi had said so, why wouldn't he accept it?

"If I get Ziyi, I will get a great horse!"

Liu Bei spoke from the bottom of his heart, not caring about the dirtiness of his body, and helped Taishi Ci up steadily with both hands.

After the greetings, Taishi Ci told Liu Bei about his encounter with Zhang Fei in Wuyun County and all the strange things he encountered on the way here.

The more Liu Bei listened, the more his brows furrowed. Knowing Zhang Fei well, he knew that Zhang Fei must be afraid that Jia Xu would slip away.

But after these days of getting along, the entire Wuyun County became well organized with the help of Jia Xu, and even Jian Yong's time practicing the Five Animal Exercises increased significantly.

Liu Bei really didn't see any intention of Jia Xu leaving, which means that Wenhe had a solution to this incident?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's frown relaxed a little. He looked up and saw a few dark clouds floating in the blue sky, making the sunlight seem dim.

"Come on, Ziyi, follow me back to Wuyun County!"

"promise!"

Liu Bei had no time to say goodbye to Wu Pu. He jumped on his horse, gripped the reins tightly and rushed towards Wuyun County.

Li Ping came out and looked around, "Where's Jian Jun?"

A farmer carrying a hoe came towards us.

"Ping, are you the person who followed you?"

"Yes, Master Zhong, did you see it?"

The farmer pointed to the sky, then pointed in the direction of Wuyun County, and speculated, "That man was in a hurry. He rode directly on Doctor Wu's horse and headed towards the county town. I think he must be rushing back home to collect his clothes!"

"Ah? Collecting clothes???"

Although Liu Bei was anxious, he was stopped by a soldier when he entered the county gate.

"Stop, according to the law, you cannot ride a horse!"

This was a new decree added by Liu Bei. As the entire county was being renovated and expanded, the main roads were crowded with busy officials and common people. If someone rode a horse in the street, more than one common person would be injured.

A soldier came over and patted the soldier on the head. He scolded, "Don't you see that this guy looks a bit like the Lord of the Prefecture? He looks like an official in the prefecture. Do you understand that special matters should be handled specially? Erniu?"

Erniu retorted: "Brother Jia, I don't understand those rules and regulations. I only know that the Lord of the Mansion said that even the Lord of the Mansion must abide by the laws!"

"Uh" Wang Jia swallowed the "come in" that was about to come into his mouth.

It was not because of Erniu's persuasion that Liu Bei and Taishi Ci actually dismounted.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Comrade, you are right. No matter how urgent it is, we can't afford to waste a little time."

Taishi Ci, who was following behind Liu Bei, was not surprised by Liu Bei's behavior. He kept chewing the word "comrade" in his mouth and just thought it was good.

Liu Bei and Taishi led their horses into the city. They tied the horses in the stable near the city wall, and then strode towards Jia Xu's residence.

"Wenhe!"

Liu Bei and Taishi Ci hurried into Jia Xu's residence.

At first glance, Jia Xu was seen practicing the Five Animal Exercises leisurely.

When Jia Xu saw the panicked Liu Bei, he did not stop his movements and even spoke slowly.

"Master, what happened?"

Jia Xu smiled.

Taishi Ci frowned, suspicion in his eyes, as if it came from instinct. He always felt that the man in front of him was not a good person. At first glance, he looked ordinary, even kind, but he always felt like a smiling fox. However, after what happened in front of the county government office, he restrained his impulse and just stared at Jia Xu vigilantly.

Although Liu Bei expected Jia Xu not to leave him without saying a word, he felt relieved the moment he saw him. He asked, "Wenhe, have you noticed the unusual movements in recent days? Not only the nobles in Wuyun County, but even the nobles in other counties have become quiet and obedient."

"My Lord, you are confused. What on earth do you want to say?" Jia Xu said with a smile, "I really don't understand."

Liu took a deep breath and bowed to Jia Xu. "I am ashamed. I am upset. I am really sorry. Wenhe, when I think of the Qiang rebellion, I... "

"My Lord, I am not very knowledgeable. If you ask me about strategies and national affairs, I can't explain them clearly. As a native of Liangzhou, I know the Qiang Rebellion very well. The Han and Qiang have deep resentment. The Qiang Rebellion will come sooner or later."

Having said this, Jia Xu paused and looked at Liu Bei, the prefect who was so honest with him.

He himself did not realize that his tone had a more heartfelt tone, "My Lord, based on your fame, military exploits, and relationship with Minister Lu, you could have chosen a wealthy county and become a governor. Why did you choose to come to Jincheng County?"

Liu Bei fell into a brief silence. He remembered that his mentor Lu Zhi had asked him the same question not long ago.

It clearly feels like it happened yesterday, but it also feels like a long time has passed.

But, no matter how long it took, Liu Bei's answer was still the same. He clenched his fists, "Because, because the Qiang rebellion of the past century will only intensify. The current situation in Liang Province is not optimistic. If the Qiang people become powerful, the consequences will be disastrous. Not to mention Liang Province, even the three auxiliary areas will be affected. I just want to eliminate the threat in the bud before it happens."

“It’s so difficult.”

Jia Xu sighed, "My Lord, this is not something we can do. This is Zuo Chang's inaction, this is the inaction of the Qiang Protector Leng Zheng, and even the inaction of the court. Zuo Chang not only traded with the Qiang people, but also embezzled military funds. The entire Liangzhou military equipment is simply a leaky plug. Do you really think the court doesn't know? The court never takes it seriously. Otherwise, how could the dignified Qiang Protector become a toothless tiger? You know, when I was young, I lied and claimed to be the descendant of Lord Duan to escape. Since they are my enemies, why don't you kill them all?"

"This..." Liu Bei's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he still asked: "Is there really no way?"

"It's difficult, even if the immortal comes, it's difficult, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Jia Xu raised his lips and said, "My Lord, become the Protector of the Qiang!"

　Sorry everyone, I was in a hurry and I always feel that I didn’t write it well.
