Liu Pan greeted him, but he was blocked to death, and Han Yi was helpless, so he had to give up temporarily. After a short rest at Liu Pan's house, everyone got up to visit Huang Zhong.

Under the leadership of Liu Pan, everyone first came to the tavern where Huang Zhong frequented.

The tavern guy greeted Liu Pan from afar, and the tavern owner Jian Liu Pan also came out to greet him in person. Liu Cong secretly thought in his heart that his brother's reputation in Youxian County was really high.

The owner of the tavern thought that Liu Pan was going to have a treat, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Welcome General Liu to the shop, today's consumption will be 7% off." ”

Liu Pan shook his head helplessly: "Shopkeeper Geng, I'm not here to drink today, I'm here to look for someone." Have you ever seen General Huang Zhong? ”

"I haven't seen it. If the general is in no hurry, it is better to sit down and taste the wine slowly, and send someone to invite General Huang. "Shopkeeper Geng was not unhappy because Liu Pan didn't consume.

"Forget it, Liu still has something to do, have any of you ever seen General Huang Zhong?" Liu Pan came to the store and shouted at a group of guys and customers, obviously Liu Pan is also a regular customer here, and he is not particular.

As soon as the words fell, a guy trotted over: "General Liu, General Huang Zhong seems to have gone to the stable." ”

There is only one relatively large horse breeding site in Youxian County, and Liu Pan naturally knew that Huang Zhong had gone there when he heard about the stable. This Huang Zhong and Liu Pan are both horse lovers. Usually living in Youxian County, in addition to drinking a little wine, the two go to the stable to take care of the horses.

On the way, Liu Cong and others passed by a pawnshop, and a bow hung outside the door.

Liu Cong walked in and took a look, only to see that this bow was made of rosewood, which was harder than steel but very light, and anyone who didn't know the goods could see that it was a good bow.

"Is this boy interested?" The pawnshop guy saw Liu Cong looking at the bow in a daze, so he stepped forward and asked.

"yes, who owns this bow and why is it here?"

"Oh, this is what General Huang Zhong of this county should give to our store, absolutely first-class and first-class goods!" The pawnshop guy looked very proud when he said Huang Zhong, but when he saw Liu Pan again, he was silent.

"General Huang Zhong? Consignment? Liu Cong was very surprised, Huang Zhong is famous for his archery, how could a famous marksman get to the point of selling a bow? Liu Cong looked at Liu Pan puzzled.

"Maybe it's because the stables can't make ends meet, but I think I'm negligent......"

"How much does this bow cost, I want it!" It is a rare opportunity to befriend Huang Zhong, and Liu Cong naturally does not want to miss it.

"Twenty thousand dollars!"

"Twenty thousand? I said man, I still have to return this bow to General Huang Zhong when I buy it, you should treat it as General Huang Zhong to redeem it himself, cheaper! ”

The guy looked at Liu Pan in embarrassment, Liu Pan smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are about to go to General Huang Zhong, you go and call your shopkeeper." ”

The guy got the order and turned into the store, and after a while, a middle-aged man came out of it and saw Liu Pan giving salutes again and again.

"Shopkeeper, this bow ......"

"General Liu, originally I didn't want to accept it, I knew that this bow was General Huang's beloved thing, but General Huang insisted on doing so, since General Liu came to redeem it, it was the original price."

"That can't make you work in vain, so let's do it, how much General Huang pawned from you, I'll add another two thousand." Liu Cong didn't want Liu Pan to bully others, this common man was polite to Liu Pan, and he had to defend it even more.

"This is ......" The shopkeeper heard that Liu Pan was coming, thinking that Liu Pan wanted to redeem the bow, and when he saw Liu Cong, he asked.

"Oh, this is the second son of General Zhennan, my younger brother, Liu Cong, the Taishou of Nanjun. He came to redeem the bow on my behalf, you know I'm poorer than General Huang. Liu Pan was also worried that if he didn't redeem the bow by himself, the shopkeeper would have to sit on the ground again.

"That being the case, according to what Childe said, it is a total of 13,000 yuan."

My goodness, this pawnshop is really not profitable, it seems that the better the thing, the higher the profit. If it weren't for his heavy responsibility, Liu Cong would have wanted to change his career to become a pawnshop. After negotiating the price and paying the money, Liu Cong picked up the bow and admired it.

"Brother Cong, what is the name of this bow?"

"I haven't really heard this talk about General Huang, but this bow has a range of more than two hundred paces and can penetrate soft armor. Mr. Huang, the old general, is full of spirit and fruitful results every time he uses this bow! ”

"Fortunately, it wasn't bought, and so is this old General Huang, how can such a beloved thing be reluctant to pawn it?"

I don't know if Liu Cong moved too much alone or Huang Zhong deliberately, everyone came to the stable, and there were only a few horsemen in it who were adding feed to the horses, and Huang Zhong was not seen.

Liu Pan was about to take everyone to look elsewhere, but Liu Cong jumped off the horse and carefully inspected the stable.

Unexpectedly, this small county, this horse farm is not small, Liu Cong of course knows the importance of horses to the war in the era of cold weapons, it seems that the owner of this horse farm is either a far-sighted businessman or a war fanatic.

"Brother, who built this horse farm?"

"This is a partnership between me and General Huang and I have nothing to do, and General Huang Zhong is usually taking care of it, so I only come to see it occasionally."

"Brother Cong and General Huang are really insightful, my Jingzhou is located in most of the south of the Yangtze River, and horses are indeed scarce. If there were a few stables like this in every county, I would be able to organize a light cavalry team in Jingzhou. ”

"I bought this stable!" Liu Cong circled around the stable again and said to Liu Pan.

"Who wants to buy stables? This stable is not for sale! A slightly vicissitudes of voice came from afar.

Liu Cong Xunyin saw that a sturdy man over half a hundred years old walked out, who could it be if it wasn't Huang Zhong?

Liu Cong was about to step forward to salute, but saw Huang Zhong walking a few steps to Liu Pan: "General Liu, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Hansheng, I also have a share in this stable, can I come and take a look?"

"Okay, Huang is ashamed that he didn't take care of the stables and let General Liu see the joke."

"Where is it, when you and I built a stable together, then I threw it to you to manage it alone, so that it reached the point where you have to pawn a bow and raise horses, Liu is really ashamed."

"General Liu...... Didn't you bring this boy to buy the stables? Huang Zhong seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Old General Huang, take a closer look at who he is?" Liu Pan smiled at Huang Zhong and pointed his finger at Liu Cong.

"Big ...... Second son? Are you the second son? ”

"Old General Huang still knows Liu Cong, Liu Cong has seen General Huang!"

"Oh, don't blame the old man for being clumsy, I haven't seen the second son for a few years, and now he looks really talented. Second son, you are ......"

"Cong is entrusted by my father to ask my brother and General Huang to return to Jiangling."

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Pan, and then at Liu Cong, the two of them looked serious, it didn't look like they were joking.

"The old man is over half a hundred years old, and he is already unable to raise horses, what is the use of going back to Jiangling, and I also asked the son to tell the general, and the old man thanked the general. This county is located in a remote area, but the old man is also idle......"

"General Huang, Lian Po ......"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Liu Cong was trying to use Lian Po's story to persuade Huang Zhong, when suddenly many officers and soldiers broke into the stable. The arrogance of the officers and soldiers made Liu Cong stunned for a moment.

"By the order of the county commander, this stable will be confiscated from the same day, General Huang Lao please cooperate!"

"Yo, isn't this Captain Qin? What's in the way of this stable, you say confiscation will be confiscated? "Liu Pan is so angry in his heart, although he is idle at home, he is still the general canonized by Liu Biao, and he is the nephew of General Zhennan, this county order is too arrogant, and it is Liu Cong who is still on the scene to make Liu Pan lose face.

Huang Zhong was also very depressed, originally Liu Cong came to ask him to go out of the mountain, he wanted to take advantage of this to vent his anger for Liu Pan, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed by a small county lieutenant. The county lieutenant regarded Liu Cong and the others as merchants who bought horses, so he stepped forward and said: "All the horses in this stable are now owned by the yamen, and they are not sold, so you can go and see them elsewhere." ”

"Oh......" Liu Cong looked at Liu Pan thoughtfully, and then at Huang Zhong, thinking, there is a good show to watch.

"Captain Qin, the county commander wants to confiscate this stable according to that decree, if you can't say it, don't blame Huang Zhong's swords and guns for not being long-sighted."

"The county commander knows that you will disrespect the order, so today I specially brought thirty county soldiers to inform you. You must know that it is illegal for you to privately raise horses on a large scale, and now horses are scarce war materials in Jingzhou, and your horses will soon be sent to Xiangyang in Jiangbei, so the two generals don't have to be annoyed, even if they contribute to the people of Jingzhou. ”
