The main hall has obviously been rearranged with some high-quality looking tables and furniture, and a dozen oil lamps have been lit to illuminate the entire main hall as bright as day.

It's amazing to revisit the old place, but no longer as a host, but as a guest.

"What happened? Didn't you go to Xuchang to make a living? How did he become a wanted thief by the imperial court, and he brought ......" Cui Zhouping thought about it, and didn't know how to describe Liu Sandao and the three of them, although the two of them were just trying to catch a chicken in the courtyard to eat, but they didn't ask about this kind of behavior, it really didn't look like a good class.

"It's hard to put into words." Liu Yi sighed, shook his head and said, leaving what happened in the past few days, now I feel a little emotional when I think about it, I simply provoked Cao Ren, and then was taken up the mountain by a group of bandits, but Lu Lingqi's identity did not say, first, it is not necessary, second, Lu Bu's reputation is really not good in the scholar class, it is already not easy, if you tell its origin, with the relationship between Liu Bei's three brothers and Lu Bu back then, it may not be a good thing, and now Liu Bei will definitely not be embarrassed, But in the future, it will be impossible to say, ambitious, it's better not to guess.

"So, you're going to stay?" When Cui Zhouping heard this, his brows frowned slightly, not that he was worried that Liu Yi would bring the house back, but that he was worried about Liu Yi's future, after all, how much influence Cao Ren had in Cao Ying, he knew very well that Liu Yi had sinned against Cao Ren now, even if he helped around, he might be able to avoid Liu Yi's wanted warrant, but it would not eliminate Cao Ren's grudge, if he really went to Cao Cao's territory, it would not be a good thing for Liu Yi.

"Since Cao Ren is here, then Cao Gong may not be too far south, this place will be the place where the two armies meet in the future, and the soldiers are in chaos, and the next craftsman does not want to get involved in this matter." Liu Yi shook his head, he was going to Jiangxia or Jiangling, and if not, he would cross the river to the four counties of Jingnan.

If you have the opportunity, persuade Lu Lingqi and her gang not to think about unrealistic revenge all day long, and follow themselves to make money in construction, maybe there will be some opportunities in the future.

First of all, as an ordinary person, if you want to survive in this troubled world, you really have to depend on your fate, and even if you have the ability, you may not have the opportunity to show it.

"You're thinking far." Cui Zhouping smiled when he heard this, noncommittal, in fact, as long as Liu Yi opened his mouth, entered his Cui family, and became a guest, with the influence of the Cui family, Cao Ren is unlikely to turn his face because of a Liu Yi, but he didn't say this, a gentleman's friend, it's not good to mix too many interests, not to mention that Liu Yi didn't take the initiative to speak, and he wouldn't rush to help.

"I didn't expect that after I was away for a few days, you didn't do anything to these chickens." Liu Yi glanced at Wangcai who was crawling outside the door, but the five chickens were lying beside Wangcai obediently at the moment, snuggling together to keep warm.

Cui Zhouping shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Why didn't I want to?" I can't do it! ”

He has no feelings for this chicken, so naturally he won't be able to do it, but these chicken thieves are very aggressive, and they show a little malice, so they pounce without hesitation, the chicken mouth is harder than ordinary chickens, he already has two servants planted under these chicken mouths, although there is no major injury, but now he sees the chicken and hides away.

Cui Zhouping thought that these chickens were quite spiritual, and the idea of eating them faded.

"But these bandits are not good, do you really want to help them build a village?" Cui Zhouping said this, a little worried, don't help someone build the cottage in the end, but he can't do well, if he doesn't give money, it's small, and it will be a little more than worth the loss if he puts his life in.

"Not really." Liu Yi didn't explain, and said with a smile: "I met that Uncle Liu Huang when I came just now, but I came to visit Kong Ming again?" ”

"Not bad." Cui Zhouping couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You came later, that Kong Ming was drinking with me here not long ago, and he didn't leave until the imperial uncle left." ”

"He's just right, and this time he came back to find Kong Ming." Liu Yi didn't regret hearing this, when he saw Liu Bei just now, he was really afraid that Zhuge Liang would come back after leaving for a few months, and he couldn't wait that long.

"Oh?" When Cui Zhouping heard this, he no longer asked Liu Yi about getting involved with a group of thieves, this world is chaotic, but there are many opportunities to get ahead, if this practice is before the troubled times, it is a big crime to kill the head, put it now, as long as Liu Yi has the ability, then when his reputation rises in the future, as long as he is willing to vote, Cao Cao may also let Cao Ren let go of his prejudices.

Not to mention anything else, just Liu Yi's craftsmanship, Cui Zhouping has lived here in the past few days, and he naturally feels deeper, so he doesn't ask more, but just follows Liu Yi's words and asks: "What are you looking for Kong Ming?" If you want to be a leader, look for me as well. ”

"Not for me, but for the mother and son." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Them?" Cui Zhouping raised his eyebrows, he naturally had some vision, and he could see from Deng's mother's conversation and temperament that she was not an ordinary peasant woman, but she was just a person from a declining wealthy family, and looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said: "You are not honest, but you have failed others?" ”

He saw that Mother Deng was about the same age as Liu Yi, so he asked.

Liu Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, the ancients married earlier, and he could become his own son at the age of thirteen or fourteen, if he is really a person of this era, at this age, it is possible to have a son like Deng Ai, but unfortunately not.

shook his head: "Don't defile people's innocence, that mother and son are a branch of the Xinye Deng clan, and they hid in the mountains to avoid war and taxes, and they have nothing to do with me." ”

"I don't understand this, it doesn't matter, why bring it?" Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi a little strangely.

"That child's name is Deng Ai, although he is idiot, but he is smart and studious, and he has some aura, if he stays in that cottage, he will inevitably abandon his studies, Kong Ming has the talent of heaven and earth, so I want to bring it to see if Kong Ming is willing to teach an apprentice?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Kong Ming?" Cui Zhouping shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I may not respond to you." ”

"How so?" Liu Yi frowned and said, this is a powerful figure in the late Three Kingdoms, almost the first hero of the destruction of Shu, if he is let go back to Xinye, Liu Yi estimates that he will eventually be drawn to Cao Cao's side, since he is ready to make a living on Liu Bei's side, he naturally hopes that Liu Bei's side will not be unavailable in the future, and it can be regarded as his own investment in Shuzhong in the future, but I didn't think that Zhuge Liang would refuse, but now that he was broken by Cui Zhouping, Liu Yi was a little worried.

"Then Uncle Liu Huang invited twice, I see Kong Ming is already moving, if he comes again, this hospitality, I'm afraid Kong Ming will be difficult to refuse, he wants to be out, with the momentum of Uncle Liu Huang, there are bound to be many plans, how to have time to teach the apprentice?" Cui Zhouping said with a smile.

Liu Yi frowned, if this is the case, then wouldn't his trip be in vain?

"It's not too late to see each other tomorrow and make plans." Liu Yi shook his head, it's all here, I have to give it a try, if it really doesn't work, think of another way.

At the moment, Liu Yi didn't think about these anymore, and after eating some with Cui Zhouping, he spread a straw mat in the main hall of Cui Zhouping's house, dealt with it for one night, and slept together...... First, Liu Yi can't stand sleeping with a big man, and secondly, the relationship between the two has not reached that point, it is still a little self-aware, in short, it is not too late to wait until tomorrow to meet Zhuge Liang before making plans, in addition to wanting to send Deng Ai there, he has some things that he wants to drag Zhuge Liang to help.
