Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1509 Three Bowls of Wine

  Chuan Shu, An Han, and Liu Bei danced their swords in the courtyard, circling back and forth, their movements were slow and calm, and the double-strand swords were like the soles of shoes.

   There was a rush of footsteps in the backyard, and then the guard reported loudly that it was Kuai Qi's visit.

Liu Bei put down the double-pronged sword, pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, put the sword back into its sheath, and asked the guards to invite Kuai Qi, then changed his clothes, came to see Kuai Qi, but saw Kuai Qi with a serious face, Stared at him without saying a word.

  Liu Bei laughed, as if he couldn't see the look on Kuai Qi's face at all, and invited Kui Qi to sit down, drink tea, and eat snacks attentively and eagerly, as if Kuai Qi was like an old friend for many years.

For so many years, Liu Bei has been trembling from the beginning and only knows how to look at the faces of others, to distinguish between good faces and bad ones. When he sees a change in the face of someone in power, he is a little bit afraid to speak. If you look angry, you may not be really angry, and if you are really angry, you don't necessarily have a bad expression...

   Now, even if Liu Bei sees the change in other people's faces, he still treats it as if he didn't see it. He just quietly remembers it in his heart, and then he ponders slowly and replays it carefully at night alone.

   "Haha, brother Yuantai, come and try this..." Liu Bei said with a smile, "This is said to be a famous snack in Sichuan and Sichuan. It takes time and trouble to get it, but it tastes really good..."

   Kuai Qi endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't help it anymore, her eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to pierce Liu Bei's face, and said: "The troops who conquer the west are really planning to march into Anhan?"

  Liu Bei let out an "ah", then seemed very surprised, and asked back: "Zhengxi is going to march into Anhan?"

   "..." Kuai Qi stared at Liu Bei, "Liu Yuzhou, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Liu Bei was surprised, without moving a muscle, and said: "Brother Yuantai, what do you mean, these days, I have been running around in the mountains? I have no time, brother Yuantai, do you think I can What do you know?" Although Liu Bei is much older than Kuai Qi, he called each other Yuantai brothers so naturally, just like a later generation who went to the rivers and lakes to do marketing, and called him the boss when they met. Not even blinking.

   Kuai Qi was silent for a while, but was still defeated, "The scouts came to report that there was a change in the Guanghan Zhengxi troops, and there were signs of marching into Anhan... Liu Yuzhou really didn't know about this?"

"There is such a thing!" Liu Bei's face changed a little, and he seemed to be more dissatisfied, "The expedition to the west is imminent, what is Brother Yuantai still doing here? It is right to lead the troops to Wulijian to resist quickly! If the expedition to the west People and horses have crossed the Wulijian, isn't it... oh! Come on, you and I quickly ask to see the young master, Chen Ming is critical..."

   Kuai Qi saw that Liu Bei was about to come forward to challenge him, but in desperation, she finally confessed, "...my son has an order...to order Liu Yuzhou to lead the troops to Wulijian, and intercept the troops who conquered the west..."

"Ah?" Liu Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands outside the hall, bowing his head and said in a deep voice, "... Bei, please obey the order!" In Liu Bei's eyes, it is not known whether it is the reflection of the light outside the hall, or the emotion in his heart Finally, a gleam of brilliance flashed past, and then disappeared into the drooping eyelids.

  ………………

   "Brother, what Fei Gongju is this, is what he said true?" Zhang Fei frowned and said.

Liu Bei was silent for a while, then patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, and said: "For so many years, we have been displaced and have no fixed place... We have paid, we have worked hard, but we still have nothing... Third brother, do you think it is what we lack? What? Or did we not do a good job?"

  Zhang Fei was stunned, speechless for a while. Guan Yu squinted his eyes at the side, as if he had some insight.

"You and my brother, we drank blood wine and made an oath together in Taoyuan that day..." Liu Bei held Guan Yu with one hand and Zhang Fei with the other. There are three bowls of wine mixed with blood on the table.

  The three animals are in front, the green smoke is curling up, the blood red wine is rippling in the bowl, and the brilliance is flowing, as if it was yesterday.

"In terms of martial prowess, the two virtuous younger brothers are the enemy of ten thousand people. Fighting back and forth in the army formation is like entering and leaving the flat ground... In terms of diligence, I have been more or less conscientious over the years. The second brother trains soldiers, every day Relentless, even the long beard, which is the most cherished on weekdays, is covered with dust and dust. The third brother has always loved wine and meat, but in order to recruit troops, he reluctantly gave up all the wine and meat to the soldiers... If it is a matter of chance, you and I, the three of us, It also once won the land of one state, bordering counties and counties, one call under the flag, and thousands of people from... But, why is it still like this today, relying on the color of others and relying on the breath of others?"

   "This..." Zhang Fei was speechless.

  Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother, do you have the answer?"

   Liu Bei smiled and signaled the surrounding guards to step back a little. The guards rushed out, forming a circle, protecting Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the center, and leaving them enough space.

"These days, although I have been framed by others and worked hard, I just took this time to figure out some things..." Liu Bei looked up to the north, and said slowly, "Second brother and third brother, the two of you Do you ever know how Zhengxi got to where he is today?"

Guan Yu frowned, and said: "This Guan didn't care much...the first time someone heard the name of Zhengxi, he should have defeated Li Guo of Xiliang in Zhengxi...Well, no, it should be earlier, Baibo, yes, Baibo! Conquering the west and fighting in the north against Baibo...ah, what my brother said...it is true, after all these years..."

  Guan Yu couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Back then when I heard that Zhengxi was fighting against Baibo, the three Liu Bei brothers were actually similar to Zhengxi at that time. They were also in a small county town and managed a small piece of land. Of course, Zhengxi had not yet The title of Zhengxi, but in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, General Zhengxi's power has become more and more powerful, but the three brothers are still moving around.

"Bingzhou...first there was Dong Zhongying, then Ding Jianyang, and now there is another Fei Ziyuan...hehe, Bingzhou is really..." Liu Bei also shook his head and smiled, feeling a little, and then said, "Second brother, third brother, you know this sign General Xi, when you entered Bingzhou, what did you do besides fighting Baibo?"

   Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and shook his head.

   Zhang Fei widened his eyes and looked at Liu Bei blankly.

"General Zhengxi, when he entered Bingzhou, he appointed a man, surnamed Jia, named Qu, named Liangdao..." Liu Bei said slowly, then looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, gave them a little time to think, and then Go on, "Jia Liangdao was under the age of double ten when he joined the Western Conquest. His family was poor and he had no food or clothing..."

  Zhang Fei scratched his head, seemed to think of something, but couldn't express it, a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

  Guan Yu continued to squint his eyes, brushed his long beard, then opened his eyes, and said: "Brother's intention, could it be...a thousand gold horse bones?"

  Zhang Fei quickly clapped his hands and said, "I mean that too! Brother, right?"

Liu Bei nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! Zhengxi's re-use of this person undoubtedly showed an attitude to the outside world. After Xun Youruo... and later..."

   "Xun Youruo of the Xun family in Yingchuan..." Guan Yu thought of something, "I heard that under Cao Sikong, there is also a man named Xun Wenruo, who is very popular with Cao Sikong..."

   Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said hesitantly: "Could it be that there is someone from the Xun family under General Yuan?"

   "That's not true..." Liu Bei smiled and said, "But I heard that Xun Youruo from Zhengxi was under General Yuan..."

   "Huh?" Zhang Fei stared round, his eyeballs were rolling around, and he didn't know where he was thinking.

  Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei with a smile, and continued: "...And Your Majesty... There is another person in front of your Majesty, called Xun You and Xun Gongda, who is quite trusted by Your Majesty...and a member of the Xun family..."

  Zhang Fei took a deep breath and said, "Hiss...Brother, let's catch...No, let's find someone from the Xun family... Sigh! When we passed Yingchuan, we should rush in..."

…

"There are people, there is a place..." Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said, "Think about when you and my brothers were in Xuzhou... Although Mrs. Chen obeyed orders under the tent, she did not obey, so Repeatedly..."

  Guan Yu frowned and snorted, obviously thinking of something inconvenient.

  Zhang Fei shook his beard, gritted his teeth and said, "When I return to Xuzhou one day, I will definitely whip the Chen family boy three hundred times!"

   "It's all in the past, so I won't mention it..." Liu Bei waved his hand, "But now, you and my brother, we can't repeat the same old pattern... The most important thing is this person from Sichuan..."

Liu Bei raised his head, as if he was recalling, or imagining, "Before, you and my brothers were always looking for big family members, visiting them, or even begging, but these big family members, how could they think about you and my brother? Hehe, okay Some of them politely refused, and almost even..."

  Liu Bei smiled, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes were filled with anger.

"But now, you and I brothers need to change our minds...just like what General Zhengxi did back then..." Liu Bei said, with a flame burning in his eyes, "... find some people, find those who are not big Look for those who yearn for something like you and my brother, find those who are unwilling to sink into obscurity... Tell them, I, Empress Zhongshan King Jing, Yuzhou Mu, Left General Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, welcome They... conspired together for a great cause..."

   "And Fei Gongju... don't you think? It just happens to be a bit like this kind of person..." Liu Bei laughed and said, "I can't say, after a while, you and my brother will find some people to drink..."

  ………………

  Whoever wants to drink will naturally find a place to go.

  In the city of Chengdu, in a small teahouse, the dim lights flickered.

   It has been a long time since the dinner, and it is approaching the time of curfew in the city. Even if there are still some people on the street, they are all in a hurry, rushing to their homes.

Although it is said that the Zhengxi troops did not hit the city of Chengdu, but it still affected the living habits of many people. Otherwise, most people in Chengdu would sit in places like teahouses after the patrol watchman rang the curfew gong , will swear and sway back home, just like in the university dormitory, before the switch is turned on at eleven o'clock every day, the rhythm of the game cannot be stopped.

   But now, the business of the teahouse is much worse. Before the curfew, people are basically gone. Only one or two people are sitting in the corner under the dim light, and they seem to be drinking wine...

   Uh, teahouses also sell alcohol, and sometimes, in teahouses, they also sell other things. As long as you want it, teahouses actually sell it...

A few figures walked to the door of the teahouse, and one person stuck his head in, as if looking at the situation, and quickly shrank back. A moment later, under the swaying light and shadow, someone walked in and reached the corner , sat down, and laughed twice: "Brother Deang, you really know how to find a place..."

"Brother Gongju..." Li Hui appeared in the shadows with a smile, the smile on his face changed in the light and shadow, and he cupped his hands and said, "The good places have been taken by others, like me, only this kind of place is left." The place is gone... I don't know if Brother Gongju will dislike it..."

"Haha..." Fei Shi just smiled and didn't say anything, but he was not polite either. He casually took the drink slot in front of Li Hui, took a rough clay bowl from the corner of the table, poured out half of it, and raised his neck. , drank it down.

  Although Fei Shi is a son of a gentry family, he is not well-to-do. To him, rough tea and bad wine are not something difficult to swallow.

  Who doesn’t want to be able to live in luxury, but who can guarantee that he must be born with a golden key or precious jade in his mouth?

  Reincarnation is also a technical job, not everyone can find a good place. When he found out that his living conditions were not very good, who hadn't imagined that he was a little prince and a little prince? Who hasn't suddenly received some strange letter telling that a relative with billions of dollars has suddenly appointed a beneficiary?

  However, the actual situation is like when your parents tell you loudly that you have taken a piece of land, only after you return home in ecstasy do you realize that you have actually taken a courier...

   Who can I rely on?

   Still can only throw away those unrealistic fantasies, and strive for it bit by bit, or, to win...

   "...This wine has been aged for a long time, and the taste is somewhat worse..." Li Hui was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering under the shadow of the fire, "I heard that brother Gongju got some new wine... I don't know...how?"

  Fei Shi pushed the stoneware wine bowl forward, "...there is no wine in the bowl, can you be intoxicated?"

  Li Hui looked at the wine bowl, then at Fei Shi, smiled knowingly, then took out the wine slot, poured the wine for Fei Shi, and said, "If so, how about taking a ladle to drink?"

   Fei Shi nodded with a smile, "You should drink it yourself!"

   After the words fell, the two couldn't help but smile, and looked at each other, under the swaying light and shadow, they seemed to see some shadows of themselves in each other's eyes...
