We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 140 Liu Bei: This person? He must be a liar!
The sky is very bright tonight, and a crescent moon hangs diagonally on the top of Xuchang City.
An ever-long Milky Way, as smooth as a ribbon, stretches from one end of the sky to the other.
Countless stars twinkle.
Liu Bei raised his head with half-squinted eyes. Above the starry sky, there seemed to be several unknown birds hovering not far away.
Perhaps it was the drink that made Liu Bei's mind wander.
But during this time, the light breeze blowing made the drunkenness in him gradually dissipate a lot.
Liu Bei felt a little confused.
He has been in Xuchang for nearly a year now, but during this year, he has been unable to do anything.
Apart from being called an imperial uncle, there is not much he can do in Xuchang city.
Cao Cao is powerful!
Today's world structure is somewhat clear.
The whole north is nothing more than Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Neither of these two are good people. If you want to restore the great Han Dynasty to its former glory, it is impossible to rely on these two people!
Both of them are ambitious people.
As for Yuan Shu over there, his disobedience was clearly revealed.
The emperor was young, fledgling, and had no power to rely on.
Liu Biao, a member of the Jingzhou clan, was too self-defeating and found it difficult to make progress.
Although Liu Zhang of Shu was a member of the clan, when the Han Dynasty was in crisis, he proclaimed himself Shu and isolated himself from the Central Plains.
I'm afraid he just wants to be a local emperor.
Liu Bei's heart was very confused.
Today, he is already thirty-six years old. He is no longer a boy, and the ambition in his heart is not as heroic as it was back then.
The road to help a big man is so difficult!
How long he can hold on, Liu Bei himself doesn't know.
When he first entered Xuchang, he arranged to lock Zhang and Zhang out, but now there is little news.
I don’t know how the second and third brothers are doing now.
Have you managed some influence outside the country, or is it like you, unable to control yourself and relying on others?
Liu Bei began to feel confused unconsciously, and his feet stopped in place.
None of the guards on the side urged him.
Although they have the responsibility of guarding and monitoring, the person in front of them is the uncle of the Han Dynasty after all.
On the surface, I still have the attitude I should have.
Fortunately, Liu Bei hasn't behaved too strangely in recent times. For now, he just stands there and waits!
It’s not very cold this night!
At this time, Liu Bei and his party were standing in the middle of Xuchang Street, which was quite strange.
Pedestrians saw Liu Bei dressed in rich clothes and his attendants were all armed with weapons, so they did not dare to stay any longer.
Liu Bei, who came back to his senses, sighed in his heart.
At the moment, he doesn't have many options, although Mi Zhu is still in Xuchang to discuss it with him.
However, Mi Zhu couldn't give much advice.
He has been making friends with scholars during this period, just to see if there is anyone who can see his current situation.
Just give him a few words of advice.
However, people like Xi Fengyi are rare in this world.
"who?"
Liu Bei was lost in thought when someone suddenly made a sound among the guards beside him.
Turning his eyes, Liu Bei realized that a tall man was walking towards him not far away.
Just looking at that figure, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up.
What a strong and powerful man.
The sky was a little dark, and even with the starlight, it was difficult to see clearly the face of the person coming from a few steps away.
Liu Bei's brows twitched, and his mind flashed at this moment.
The guards on the side were just a little wary, but as soon as they made a sound, the man walking towards him also reacted.
At that time, Huang Zhong was walking back along the street.
Nowadays, the newly built city of Xuchang is very big, and Huang Zhong is just a newcomer here, so he doesn't know much about the geographical environment of Xuchang.
On the way back, he became somewhat lost.
At this time, he was lowering his head and thinking about the actor's position, but he didn't expect to be shouted at suddenly.
This sound brought Huang Zhong back to his senses instantly.
When he raised his head, he realized that there were several attendants with swords in front of him. The guard in the middle was dressed in fine clothes and looked a bit noble.
Upon hearing the other party's question, Huang Zhong quickly shook his head and took the initiative to move to the toilet.
This attitude actually made the guard in front of him relax.
After all, on this late night, a tall and powerful man walked towards him, so anyone else would have to be more cautious.
Now that they saw the other party getting out of the way, these guards realized that they probably had a misunderstanding.
After all, this is the emperor's feet.
I'm afraid no one dares to do anything inappropriate in front of Xuchang Street.
After Huang Zhong got out of the way, a group of guards looked towards Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei's eyes also fell on Huang Zhong. When he saw that the other person was about to leave, he raised his eyebrows and shouted quickly.
"Why is that man wandering around on the street now that it's almost curfew?"
Liu Bei asked.
The guards on the side were also stunned for a moment.
They didn't expect that Liu Bei would suddenly stop the other party.
However, the situation in front of them made these guards feel helpless. Others were planning to leave, but Liu Bei still stopped them.
Isn’t this just looking for trouble!
However, Liu Bei's words were correct. It was indeed the curfew, but this man in front of him was wandering on the street.
The behavior is somewhat strange.
When Huang Zhong came from the other side, the guards beside Liu Bei all noticed.
This is also why when the other party arrived in front of him, some of the guards couldn't help but shout out questions.
Now as Liu Bei spoke, several of the guards beside him couldn't help but put their hands on the blade.
It was as if he was worried that the man in front of him would suddenly become violent.
Don't tell me, Liu Bei is just looking for trouble.
His daily life in Xuchang City is quite different.
Even if he is full of passion, there is no room for display.
Seeing the strange appearance of the man opposite him, Liu Bei became somewhat interested.
No matter what the purpose of the man in front of him is, if he can use the other party to cause a stir in Xuchang City, it would be pretty good.
At least, he didn't know if it would cause trouble for Cao Cao, but it would also allow him to express his resentment.
Liu Bei believed that he had some strength. Even if the man in front of him got angry, he would have no problem if he wanted to protect himself.
At this time, Liu Bei asked questions.
Huang Zhong, who had already stepped aside and was about to leave, was a little dazed.
Turning back, he glanced at Liu Bei and saw that he was dressed in fine clothes. He was probably a big shot in Xuchang City.
He didn't dare to offend the other party casually.
Huang Zhong stood respectfully and saluted Liu Bei.
"A certain family named Huang has just brought his dog to Xuchang for treatment today. He is not familiar with Xuchang City. He is confused and has lost his way!"
Huang Zhong didn't say much and replied politely.
Hearing this, the guard beside Liu Bei did not speak.
Liu Bei frowned subconsciously.
New to Xuchang?
Taking your son for medical treatment?
Since he was treating a disease, why was he wandering around the streets at night? I didn't see the other party carrying any medicine or anything like that.
Besides, he didn't remember any pharmacy or the like on the other side.
There is something wrong with this man!
"There are many doctors in the world to treat diseases. Why do you come to Xuchang for treatment? I don't hear your accent sounds like someone from Xuchang, but rather a Jingnan accent!"
Liu Bei chuckled and pointed out the hidden problems in Huang Zhong with one word.
After saying this, Liu Bei turned his head and looked at the guards beside him.
"Brothers, this person's accent is wrong. I suspect he may be a spy sent by other princes!"
Hearing this, all the guards were stunned.
Just by hearing someone say this, Liu Bei already thinks that the other person is a spy from outside!
However, if the other party is really an outside spy, these guards will still be a little moved.
You must know that once the spies are captured, it will be considered a credit and you can receive a reward at the Xuchang Yamen Office.
The several guards looked at each other, and their hands unconsciously rested on the man with the blade.
Seeing this situation, Huang Zhong couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that the person in front of me had misunderstood.
"Everyone, Huang is indeed not from Xuchang. Huang came from Jingzhou with his only son. This trip is to seek medical treatment for his only son!"
"If you don't believe it, you can follow Huang to find out!"
Huang Zhong opened his mouth to explain again. After saying this, the guards became more convinced.
But Liu Bei in front of him still had no intention of giving up.
"Oh, if I happen to be free, I can follow you and take a look!"
"Where are you going on this trip?"
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and asked.
The guards on the side were a little helpless. They had planned to take a break after following Liu Bei back!
Who knew that this guy was now causing another problem for nothing.
"Huang is going to Mr. Xi's house on this trip. My only son and I are currently living in Mr. Xi's house!"
Huang Zhong responded.
However, as soon as he said these words, Liu Bei in front of him couldn't help but laugh.
What a liar!
Liu Bei almost instantly regarded the other party as a liar.
This person just said that he had just arrived in Xuchang today, and now he said that he and his family had already moved into Mr. Xi's house.
Who can believe this if you say it!
Is the other party confused and related to Mr. Xi?
Liu Bei was very clear about Xi Yu, because Liu Bei specifically asked Xi Yu about the matter between the emperor and Xi Yu.
The response was that the actor did not have any distant relatives.
In this case, how come this person can live in Mr. Xi's house just after arriving in Xuchang?
Liu Bei already seemed to have seen through the other party.
He didn't reveal it directly, he just chuckled and planned to take the other party to Xi Yu's house.
At the moment, Huang Zhong happened to not know the way around. When he saw that the other party was willing to take him to Mr. Xi's house, he did not refuse.
The road is not far.
Liu Bei didn't say anything on the way, but the guards beside him couldn't help but become curious when they heard Huang Zhong said that he lived in Mr. Xi's house.
After some mutual questioning, the guards found out that Huang Zhong's son was seriously ill, and it was the kind of disease that could not be cured by famous doctors.
In desperation, Huang Zhongcai traveled thousands of miles from Jingxiang to Xuchang with his son to seek help from Mr. Xi.
After hearing this, these guards believed it to some extent.
But Liu Bei, who was standing next to him, had already decided in his heart that Huang Zhong was a liar.
In fact, among the scholars Liu Bei has made friends with these days, there are too many who pretend to be fake. Liu Bei has entertained these scholars a lot these days.
I just watched the money in my hands being spent, but none of the scholars I met caught my eye.
Liu Bei still felt somewhat resentful in his heart.
At this time, he met Huang Zhong again, and he opened his mouth and said that he lived in Xiyu's house. All of a sudden, Liu Bei thought that the other person was a liar.
Liu Bei thought that when he brought the other party to the door of the theater, the other party would be helpless and might get angry.
When the time comes, there will be excitement to watch.
But this matter seemed to involve Xi Yu, and Liu Bei was still hesitant.
On the way to the theater.
Huang Zhong also started talking more.
He was born in the military and had a good impression of these guards. After a few words, everyone became more enthusiastic.
"To be honest, Huang just returned from the pawn shop. Although he stayed at his husband's house during this trip, Huang didn't have much money on him. Fortunately, he could only go to pawn some things!"
As he spoke, Huang Zhong took out the silver he had just pawned. It was packed in a small cloth bag, and there were some old Qin half liang and Han five baht.
"It's just that this money is like a drop in the bucket after all!"
Huang Zhong was a little helpless. The guards beside him felt somewhat sympathetic when they heard what the other party said.
The child at home has been sick since childhood, and after years of treatment, he must have a lot of money to talk about. Just looking at Huang Zhong's attire, wearing a short shirt, he knew that it was not easy for him.
"Brother Huang, this journey has been quite difficult!"
Taking his son all the way from Jingxiang to Xuchang was naturally extremely difficult.
The guards on the side looked at each other, and they were all somewhat moved.
At this time, Liu Bei was watching with cold eyes. Seeing that several of his guards seemed to be discussing how to collect some money to give to Huang Zhong, he couldn't help but chuckle again.
He is indeed a liar!
The method is quite superb.
However, he was not in a hurry to expose it.
When we arrived at the theater, everything became clear.
"Brother Huang, my brothers don't have much salary. This is the money that I have collected together, and it will be used by your son first!"
It took a few moments for the guards to pool together some money.
They gathered together some half-liang and five-baht, and the guards strung them together with long strings, gathered them together, and handed them over to Huang Zhong with both hands.
Huang Zhong was a little stunned.
He didn't ask the guards in front of him to borrow money, but after getting acquainted with them, he casually complained about his difficulties.
He never thought that these people would take the initiative to give him money.
It is really!
"Brothers, this is what you are doing!"
Huang Zhong didn't reach out to borrow it. If he wanted to ask someone to borrow it, he wouldn't go to the pawn shop himself.
These guards, judging by their age, must be able to support their families.
If he takes the money, life will naturally be more difficult for these people.
"Brother Huang, don't refuse. Since you live in my husband's house, you are someone that my husband thinks is good."
"We brothers admire Mr. Xi the most. Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
"Brother Huang, don't refuse anymore!"
The guards couldn't tolerate Huang Zhong's refusal. After giving each other the collected money, they backed away.
By this time, everyone had reached the long street where the actor was.
Not far away is the actor's mansion.
"Brothers, since this is the case, Huang has no choice but to take the next step. However, can you all tell me your names so that Huang can return the money to you in the future?"
"If you don't tell Huang, please forgive Huang for not being able to accept it!"
Huang Zhong was sincere, and the guards beside him didn't hesitate. Although they thought they didn't need to ask the other party to pay back the money.
However, seeing Huang Zhong like this, everyone told him his name truthfully.
Liu Bei looked at all this and frowned even deeper.
This man, looking at his simple and honest face, has such a delicate mind.
At this moment, he was somewhat doubting whether the other party was a liar. After all, the theater was already in front of him, and whether the other party could enter would directly prove his identity.
Huang Zhong saluted the guards, and the guards returned the salute.
Huang Zhong turned around and held his hand towards Liu Bei again, and then walked towards the theater gate.
Approaching the door, Huang Zhong patted the door gently.
In just a moment, the door opened.
Liu Bei, who was not far away, was a little surprised. This man really dared to knock on the door, and the door of the theater was really opened.
Walking out of the gate was the actor's housekeeper, Xi Lao.
When the other party saw Huang Zhong returning, he grabbed Huang Zhong's arm.
"Brother Huang, where have you been? Why didn't you inform me if something happened?"
"It makes it easier for me to wait!"
The sound from the door came, and Liu Bei's eyes widened.
That person is not a liar, he really lives in the theater.
It seemed that he had misunderstood.
Liu Bei felt a little numb all over his body. His attitude towards Huang Zhong just now could not be said to be too good.
The other party must understand that feeling of contempt.
At this moment, it seemed that it was too late to explain.
The guards on the side didn't have much impression. Huang Zhong at the door saluted several guards from a few steps away.
All the guards had smiles on their faces.
"Brother, go ahead, I won't send you off later!"
One of the guards shouted, with a bit of excitement in his tone, but Liu Bei just opened his mouth and said nothing.
The theater's door closed.
In desperation, Liu Bei led a group of guards back to where he lived.
At this moment, Huang Zhong entered the gate and looked at the actor with an apologetic look.
"Thank you, brother, I've been waiting all this time!"
"What's the trouble? I'm older and I don't sleep much. I was just worried that you just came to Xuchang and don't know your way around. Now that you're back, I feel a little more at ease."
After saying this, the actor smiled on his face.
Then he paused and seemed to think of something, then continued to speak.
"My husband told me to take good care of you father and son, so I will certainly take it to heart!"
"It's getting late now. You should go to the side room to rest first. You don't have to worry too much about Xiao Huang's illness!"
"My husband is one of the few powerful people in the world. My husband helped cure General Zhao's brother's illness."
"Besides, my husband has already told General Zhao to publish the news about seeking famous doctors in the newspapers, so you can rest easy!"
Hearing these extremely concerned words, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Not just the drama veteran, but also the guards who just met.
He, Huang Zhong, can be treated like this all thanks to Mr. Xi!
