Chapter 49: Liu Bei's suspicions

Liu Xian saw that Liu Bei finally noticed the girls behind him, so he had to follow Liu Bei behind him and said: "Alas, almost all the young and strong people in Liulin Village are dead, and there are only some old and weak women and children left, these women are all daughters of the villagers, and now I let them into my Liu Mansion to help take care of this big Liu Mansion." ”

"Xiaohua, Xiaoting, you all came here, you have seen Lord Liu Bei, he is the great benefactor who saved our Liulin Village. In the future, you must remember not to forget Lord Liu Bei. ”

Liu Xian then beckoned to the girls and asked them to come forward to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Xian hoped that Liu Bei would ignore Zhang Ning, who was bowing his head among these girls.

It's a pity that Liu Bei's eyes are really thieves, and he has already seen Zhang Ning mixed in with the girl, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"That girl, I don't think I've seen you, don't be afraid, raise your head and let me see." Liu Bei pointed at Zhang Ning, his voice was gentle, and he said with a kind face.

Liu Bei is just making excuses now, where will he see who is here? However, he did see at a glance that Zhang Ning was different, and he did see that Zhang Ning's figure had a little familiarity.

"Liang Ning, a folk girl, has seen Lord Liu Bei, and thanks to the benefactor for saving our villagers in Liulin Village."

Zhang Ning walked out and gave Liu Bei a proper salute.

Liu Xian couldn't see it well, and he forgot to explain the details of some places to Zhang Ning.

Most of these girls are tired and flustered like a bird, and in the face of a big man like Liu Bei, they will instinctively be a little timid, or shy.

And Zhang Ning behaved too calmly and calmly, which made people see that she was different from others at a glance.

What's more, Zhang Ning seems to be a little unable to suppress the indignation and hatred in her heart towards the officers and soldiers, and her body slightly exudes a faint sharpness.

Liu Xian hurriedly remedied: "Brother Liu Bei, Ning'er was originally my mother's family, she studied with me when she was a child, knew a little bit of calligraphy and ink, and practiced martial arts with me for a few days. Ha...... My mother and her family were in charge and engaged to me, but unfortunately, her family was gone, so I took her into Liu's mansion first. This time, let her hide out of the village with the village chief and the children to help take care of the children. ”

"Oh? She turned out to be a younger sibling? Ha, rude and rude. Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Ning's body a few times, and he was also a little puzzled.

"What? Brother and sister here? Come on, wait for the third brother to see how our younger siblings look. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also followed, and when they heard Liu Xian's words, Zhang Fei shouted like thunder, wanting to come forward to see Liu Xian's woman.

"Third brother, don't be rude." Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei and said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, let's go to the mansion first, these children have been hungry for most of the night." ”

"Well, okay, the village chief, let's talk when we go to the house." Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, and then he looked at Zhang Ning twice, then he arched his hand and said to Zhang Ning: "Brother and sister, forgive Liu Bei for being rude." ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and walked into Liu's mansion side by side with Liang Ji.

Liu Xian saw that when Guan Yu followed Liu Bei into Liu's mansion, Danfeng's eyes widened and swept over Liu Xian's body and Zhang Ning's body. But he didn't say anything, and followed Zhang Fei, who still wanted to look back at Zhang Ning.

Liu Xian's heart suddenly sudden, could it be that not only Liu Bei saw something, but even Guan Yu saw something?

But fortunately, Zhang Ning's true identity was not revealed in person, which proves that he has been fooled for the time being.

At this time, Liu Bei seemed to be talking to Liang Ji, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it.

The main thing is that this woman's body shape is too similar to that of the Taiping Dao Holy Maiden, especially her temperament. Of course, what made him wonder was that he felt that this woman's figure was a little different from the Taiping Dao Holy Maiden, but at this moment, he couldn't tell what the difference was.

He really wanted to get the Taiping Sutra, but with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he couldn't show this kind of thought.

Liu Bei actually wanted to conduct a careful investigation of everyone in Liulin Village who felt suspicious, but in this way, it was different from his Liu Bei's usual behavior style.

Liu Bei estimated that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not agree to interrogate these villagers without reason.

Of course, if the Taiping Dao Holy Maiden is directly identified, then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will definitely take action to catch the Taiping Dao Holy Maiden, and if the Taiping Sutra is found, it will definitely be sent to his eldest brother. But the problem is that it can be identified.

He only doubted, and it was still his personal sensory doubt, there was no evidence to suggest that the person who was suspected must be the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao.

If it's not, then it's a big trouble. This will cause the dissatisfaction of their two righteous brothers, and once they are separated from themselves, it will be a little difficult to repair them.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not stare at Zhang Ning anymore.

Liu Xian hurriedly took the opportunity to bring several girls and children into Liu's mansion.

Liu Bei wanted to see Liang Ji, that is, to see what kind of virtue and ability this village chief had, so that the villagers could respect him so much. If it's a great character, he'll try to subdue him for his own use. But now that he saw it, he felt that it was a pity, because Liang Ji was too old and there was no need to bother to subdue him. In addition, Liang Ji called Liu Xian the young master, which also proves that Liang Ji is Liu Xian's person, and it is not good for him to persuade Liang Ji to follow him in front of Liu Xian.

Liu Bei's purpose has always been for the Taiping Sutra on the Holy Maiden of the Taiping Dao.

Therefore, Liu Bei only exchanged greetings with Liang Ji, and asked about Liang Ning as if by the way, and the village chief Liang Ji was also prepared, insisting that Zhang Ning was from his Liulin Village, and also said some things about Zhang Ning's life in Liulin Village.

There are still only more than 200 people in Liulin Village, which has a population of more than 1,000 people, and they are still some old and weak women and children. Unless the villagers who don't know the situation are identified immediately, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to figure out the truth.

But it is unlikely that Liu Bei will immediately let the villagers identify him because of his suspicions.

After chatting for a while, Liang Ji said goodbye and left, and in Liu's mansion, arrangements were made to settle those girls and children.

The accommodation arranged for Liu Bei and the three of them was also prepared.

Liu Xian came in and asked Uncle Zheng to take Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to rest.

It was really not too early, and the three of them did not refuse.

Liu Xian asked Yu Jin and others to help overnight, counted 500,000 copper coins, divided them into five wooden boxes, and packed five boxes before they were loaded.

This Han Wuzhu coin is about the same size as the five dimes of later generations, but it is lighter and thinner, and there is a square hole in the middle.

Generally, thousands of copper coins are strung together, which is consistent. Ten times is ten thousand dollars, and one hundred times is one hundred thousand dollars. A wooden box just filled 100,000 yuan, and Liu Xian prepared these overnight, just so that he could send Liu Bei and them away earlier the next day.
