Liu Xian took the torch and came out of the willow forest with Zhang Ning.

At this time, the village chief Liang Ji had already brought out a group of children hiding in the willow forest, and there were also a few older menstrual women. They are about the same age as Zhang Ning, and they are all girls less than twenty.

There is no way, there are really no young and strong men in Liulin Village, Liang Ji is especially with these young girls, and he can help take care of those children who are about ten years old. And they also prepared for the worst, in the end, even if there were a few of them left in Liulin Village, they would still have a few young girls who could do some farm work, and they would be able to grow some food to feed those children in the future.

There are a few girls who are just right to let Zhang Ning mix in with them.

The village chief Liang Ji has already told these people that they should all speak in a unified voice, and they must insist that Zhang Ning is from Liulin Village, called Liang Ning, and Liu Xian's cousin.

Of course, this is also to be on guard against what happens, in case Liu Bei pays attention to Zhang Ning and asks who Zhang Ning is, these children and girls must know how to prove that Zhang Ning is the village girl they are together.

But Zhang Ning is so beautiful, no matter how she hides it, she stands out among the girls in this village, and her temperament alone can make people pick out from it at a glance.

In addition, you have to be careful to be seen by the villagers now, because Liu Bei has established an image of a benevolent and righteous monarch among those villagers, and is indeed a life-saving benefactor, so those villagers will definitely truthfully identify Zhang Ning as a person from Liulin Village to Liu Bei under unknown circumstances.

This gave Liu Xian a little headache.

Fortunately, now the villagers have been pacified, and after dark, they will only stay in their own homes, not daring to go out easily.

Liu Xian thought about it, and simply let these girls live in his own Liu Mansion, and said that they were the servants of the Liu Mansion. In this way, even Zhang Ning can enter Liu's Mansion without a trace.

Of course, as long as this night is over, tomorrow morning, the three brothers Liu Bei will definitely have to leave. Their rebels are still in the camp of officers and soldiers, and the leader of the rebel army does not return to the camp overnight without asking for instructions, which is already against military regulations, so they will definitely leave early tomorrow.

After explaining to them, they returned to the village, and on the way, Liu Xian also asked Zhang Ning to recognize the person, otherwise, Liu Bei casually asked Zhang Ning, saying who the girl was hers, and Zhang Ning could reveal her true identity in one sentence.

In fact, it is best to let Zhang Ning hide outside for one night, and wait for Liu Bei's three brothers to leave before letting Zhang Ning enter Liu's mansion.

But Liu Xian took the risk of bringing Zhang Ning back to Liu's mansion for Liu Xian's reasons.

What is missing around Liu Xian? Lacks a real expert guard with a certain amount of force.

In the original Liu Xian's memory, Zhang Ning not only learned literature but also practiced martial arts, and no matter which aspect, he held down Liu Xian to beat him.

Coupled with the body and speed that Zhang Ning showed to Liu Xian when she appeared, these all showed that her strength should not be too low.

At the very least, the momentum exuded by Zhang Ning's body gave Liu Xian the feeling that he was better than that Li Damu, and not much different from Dong Min.

If you talk about the attributes of the characters of the Three Kingdoms in the games of later generations, Zhang Ning is at least an ordinary general, and he will have at least more than 60 force values.

Liu Xian really needs a person with a certain strength to be a guard, and this Zhang Ning is the most suitable.

Besides, how can you say it, Zhang Ning can be regarded as a historical general, right? Moreover, in terms of intelligence, it is estimated that it will not be lower than Liang Ji, the village head. can be literate and martial, it is absolutely impossible to take her with you.

With Zhang Ning, Liu Xian will feel that he already has a certain ability to protect himself, at least, if he encounters an ordinary military general like Li Damu or a third-rate military general like Dong Min, Liu Xian will not be too worried.

It didn't take long for him to return to Liu's Mansion.

Liu Xian originally wanted to play a cover, so that Zhang Ning and the girls could enter through the side door of the main house without going through the front hall of the main house. And he took Liang Ji in to meet Liu Bei.

Who knew that Liu Bei was actually waiting in front of the gate of Liu's mansion, and Liu Bei was waiting, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only accompany each other.

"Brother Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, why did you come out? Just wait in the hall. Liu Xian was helpless, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Mr. Liang Ji, the head of Liulin Village, is highly respected in the village, and he is also an elderly man with talent and fame within a radius of dozens of miles. How dare Liu Bei hold on to the village and not come out to welcome the village chief back to the village? Liu Bei said gently, his eyes fell on Liang Ji's body, and then he stepped forward and saluted Liang Ji: "Presumably this elder is Mr. Liang Ji?" Liu Bei, who has not learned from the junior, visited Mr. Liang, a senior. ”

Liang Ji had actually heard Yu Jin describe Liu Bei, and also told Liang Ji his views on Liu Bei.

In particular, Liu Xian did show his wariness of Liu Bei. Naturally, even if Liu Xian didn't show anything, because Zhang Ning, the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao, was in this crowd. Liang Ji's heart was also carefully guarding against Liu Bei.

At the beginning, he was somewhat alienated from Liu Bei.

However, now I see Liu Bei's gentle face and such a modest look. This made Liang Jidu wonder if he was too preconceived to listen to Yu Jin's words? Looking at this person Liu Bei's words and deeds, he has the style of a countryman.

No matter what, Liang Ji is indeed an old and refined guy, so naturally he will not reveal his inner thoughts. He also hurriedly replied: "Lord Liu Bei, you are already old. I heard the young master say, you are also a member of the Han family, and the young master of my family is still the same as King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is still the leader of a righteous army, with countless meritorious achievements, and his future is limitless. How dare an old and decrepit village savage call his predecessor or Mr. in front of adults? It's windy outside, so let's go in and talk about it first. ”

Liang Ji also hurriedly wanted Liu Bei to enter the mansion, not letting him pay attention to the people who came back with him, and covering for Zhang Ning.

"It's okay, the old gentleman has worked hard." Liu Bei nodded, but his feet didn't move, and his eyes turned to the crowd following him.

"Pity these children, I'm afraid they're hungry again, hurry, come into the house." Liu Bei naturally bypassed Liang Ji and walked over to those children, and said to Liu Xian: "Little brother Liu Xian, I'm sorry, I made my own decision just now, and asked Zheng Bo, the housekeeper of your Liu Mansion, to approve some hot porridge for them, now, let them go in and eat porridge first." ”

"Huh? How many women are there? ”

Liu Bei walked up to the children, patted the children on the shoulders very closely, motioned for them to go first, and then his eyes fell on the girls behind.

At this time, he had turned his back to Liu Xian, looked at the eyes of those girls, and flashed a little excited.
