Zhao Yun watched Liu Yi and Liu Bei leave, there was no special feeling, Zhao Yun didn't have any big hatred for these families in Xuzhou, but Liu Yi said that these families would do things, and Zhao Yun believed that all along, Liu Yi gave Zhao Yun the feeling that he had no last resort.

As for Jia Xu who is going to be sent, Zhao Yun has nothing to dislike it, it is very good for someone to think about the affairs of Xuzhou for himself, Zhao Yun is not the kind of person with a small belly.

Liu Yi set off with Liu Bei, took other people's Xuzhou, and it was time to think about going to other people's sons.

Following Liu Bei, Liu Yi asked with a smile: "How does Xuande Gong want to arrange Tao Gong's sons, I heard that Tao Qian seems to have two sons." ”

Liu Bei still maintained his original pace, did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "Yes, the two sons are not successful, otherwise Tao Gong would not be so embarrassed." ”

Liu Yi smiled and said nothing, if Tao Qian's sons are very talented, it is really difficult to do, Xuzhou has such a big foundation, Tao Qian will not be able to give it up.

Liu Yi found that in this troubled era, the descendants still have no ability, like Cao Cao's sons, they are all very talented, what will be the end in the end? Cannibalism was fought against each other, and few survived in the end.

On the other hand, Tao Qian's sons, although they have no talent, but they live well in seclusion, is there anything more fortunate than this? In this troubled era, with thousands of troops, who can be the king, and who can guarantee that they can retreat with their whole body?

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Ziang, it's not how I arrange them, but how they choose, they are so relaxed and happy to eat, drink and have fun in Xuzhou, and suddenly lose everything, I don't know if the mentality of these two children will change." ”

Liu Yi took a deep look at Liu Bei and asked, "What does Xuande Gong mean?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is power, which invisibly brings a lot of things to people, not only material enjoyment, but also spiritual respect, and suddenly lose all this, I don't know if Tao Gong's two sons will change, not to mention, there are still these families in Xuzhou who bewitch them, everything is not clear."

Liu Yi: "No matter what, Tao Gong gave us Xuzhou, whether his two sons choose to live in seclusion or choose to continue to stay in Xuzhou, we have to support it, because we promised Tao Gong to take care of his son, otherwise the world will poke us in the back."

Liu Bei smiled with relief, stopped and said to Liu Yi: "Ziang is right, no matter what, since Bei promised Tao Gong to take care of his son, then let his son choose, whatever happens, Bei has to bear it, without a trace of complaints, Bei is confused."

Liu Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "Xuande Gong doesn't have to care if those families will bewitch the two sons, they have independent thoughts, our task is to take care of them and not let Tao Gong's sons be harmed, but there is no need to restrict their behavior, they are all adults, and they have to be responsible for doing things, I really listened to the bewitchment of those families, and in the end, we can let him go." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Ziang is right, let him go, benevolence and righteousness, and the grievances will be written off from now on."

Then Liu Bei patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, and continued to walk forward, his steps revealing briskness, as if opening a heart knot.

And Liu Yi carefully tasted Liu Bei's series of behaviors just now, and always felt that Liu Bei was becoming more and more like the leading brother of the underworld.

Liu Yi hurriedly followed, and the eldest brother who took the lead had already walked away, and if he didn't follow him, Liu Bei might abandon him.

Entering the city without waves, no one does not know Liu Bei, some time ago when Liu Bei accepted the seal of Xuzhou, those people below have already spread Liu Bei's portrait all over, in order to really meet Liu Bei one day, will not do anything to offend him, little people have little people's way of living, this kind of cautious behavior of walking on thin ice, really test a person.

Liu Bei didn't know anything about this, Liu Yi guessed something, but he didn't care too much, this time the attitude of those gatekeepers was obviously different from the previous one, as long as they looked carefully, they could see the awe in their eyes.

The news of Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou, those families are estimated to know soon, in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's every move can be said to be under surveillance, and the family's eyeliner is too much, and it is impossible to bypass it, unless Liu Bei doesn't go out all day, but Liu Bei shouldn't care about this, and it is useless for those families to know Liu Bei's every move.

Soon, Liu Bei and Liu Yi arrived at Tao Qian's residence, and as soon as they got closer, they saw Tao Qian's two sons at the door to greet them, it is estimated that someone informed them that the tree was falling and scattered, and now Tao Qian has died, Liu Bei has taken over Xuzhou, many people want to curry favor with Liu Bei to seek a half-official position, but their little abacus is doomed to fail, Liu Bei will not stay in Xuzhou for long at all.

I saw a man, neatly dressed and meticulously groomed with his hair, and walked forward: "Xuande kilometers away, please, I learned that Xuande Gong was coming, so I specially prepared a luncheon, and invited Xuande Gong to take a seat." ”

Liu Yi looked at the man's every move, although he was also polite, but there was a hint of trembling in his behavior, which could tell how nervous he was at this time.

And the young man in the back, although he lowered his head and didn't say a word, his body was straight, and he felt very relaxed, not so nervous.

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to support the young man, and said with a smile: "Are you Tao Gong's eldest son, Tao Shang?" ”

There was affirmation in his tone, although he had never come to Tao Qian's house to see his sons, Liu Bei still inquired about the situation in Tao Qian's family.

Tao Qian has a total of two sons, the two sons are the eldest son Tao Shang, the second son Tao Ying, before Tao Qian let Xuzhou, mentioned his sons, cowardly character, not suitable for inheriting Xuzhou, Liu Bei did not believe it at first, and then inquired in the city to believe some, Tao Qian is the boss of Xuzhou, his son can be said to be the second generation of the largest official in Xuzhou, there is no black history at all, there is no bullying and domination, there is no preemptive women, at most it is to eat, drink and prostitute, gamble and don't touch, honestly I don't know how to say.

Liu Yi's eyes were on Tao Qian's second son Tao Ying, Tao Qian said that his sons were cowardly and could not manage Xuzhou well, and the performance of the pottery merchant was indeed very unbearable, and he would tremble when he greeted the guests at his own door, and this guest was still an old friend of his father, and would not pose any threat to him at all, even so, the pottery merchant's reaction was so unbearable, and Liu Yi believed Tao Qian's words a little.

But Tao Qian's second son's every move revealed a kind of indifference, not like the cowardice that Tao Qian said, and he bowed his head to greet Liu Bei, neither humble nor arrogant, Liu Yi felt that this Tao Ying might not be such a waste as Tao Qian said.

When the potter heard that Liu Bei remembered his name, he felt a lot more at ease, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xuande kilometers away, please inside."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, and looked at Tao Ying who followed behind the potter, at this time Tao Ying had already gotten up, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, blazing, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like the cowardly person Tao Qian said, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he still followed the potter in.

Liu Yi arched his hand, and then followed Liu Bei in, Tao Ying stood at the door and didn't know whether to go, just now Liu Yi and Liu Bei stared at him, that look fool can feel that his father gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, it stands to reason that now he and his brother must be safe, but what era is this, troubled times, once Liu Bei finds out that Tao Qian's son is not so unbearable, it is very likely that he will have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, after all, no one wants to leave the trouble.

Tao Ying gritted his teeth, no, leaving now is simply to make Liu Bei angry, give him an excuse to kill everything, it is better to go in and pretend to be stupid, Tao Ying guessed that his father must have some agreement with Liu Bei before leaving, there is a talisman, Tao Ying finally calmed down and followed into Tao's mansion.

On the other side, the potter was chatting happily with Liu Bei, and he found that Liu Bei was very kind, and there was no danger at all, which made the potter's nervousness and worry let go little by little.

Liu Bei suddenly saw an arrow target on the east side of the courtyard, with a bow and arrow next to it, and took a deep look, so he asked with a smile: "Xiao Shang, who is playing with the bow and arrow over there, look at that arrow target and listen to the new."

The potter followed Liu Bei by mistake, without the momentum of a landlord at all, and followed Liu Bei slightly, turned his head to look at the place where Liu Bei looked, and said with a smile: "That is the second brother's usual idle and nothing to play, archery and reading, this courtyard is the second brother's favorite place to stay."

The potter didn't realize the problem at all, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a fierce glint at this time, reading and archery, is this the behavior of a stubborn child? The six arts of a gentleman, archery can be said to be a very test of the heart, Tao Ying's favorite activity is archery, how can he be a person who is willing to be ordinary.

Tao Ying rushed over just to see Liu Bei's eyes, and saw that Liu Bei was looking at the place where he usually shoots arrows, he sighed in his heart, and hurriedly walked forward and said: "Is Xuande Gong also interested in archery, we can communicate when we have time, and let the subordinates look at the apple to see who shoots accurately, but Xuande Gong is definitely not as good as me, I practice shooting apples with my subordinates every day."

Tao Ying said and winked at the pottery merchant, and then bowed down and stood beside Liu Bei with a proud face.

Liu Yi took all the actions of Tao Ying just now, and when Tao Ying came in, Liu Yi took a step back, carefully observed Tao Ying's behavior, and sure enough, he did not disappoint Liu Yi, this Tao Ying is not simple.

Liu Bei glanced at Tao Ying deeply, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, if you have time, you must compete with you to see who shoots the apple accurately."

No one knows whether Liu Bei believes Tao Ying's statement or not, anyway, this matter is over, the pottery merchant continued to take Liu Bei inside, and after visiting for a while, the pottery merchant took Liu Bei to dinner.

Liu Yi stayed behind Liu Bei all the time, without saying a word the whole time, and was very interested in the affairs of Tao Mansion.

The potter said with a smile: "Xuande Gong, please come to the banquet, be careful, if there is anything that is not in place, please don't be surprised." ”

Every move is extremely weird, Liu Yi can see at a glance that the potter doesn't know where he has seen it once, so he learned it and used it on Liu Bei, but the unconfident temperament on his body is not convincing at all when he says this kind of thing.

Tao Ying stood next to the potter and smiled without speaking.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "No wonder, no strange, Tao Gong is not thin, and the small business hospitality is also attentive, I am very happy, sit down and eat, do it."

When the potter and Tao Ying heard Liu Bei's words, they also sat down.

The potter said with a smile: "Xuande Gong has a great friendship with his father, and my father is really right to hand over Xuzhou to you, I believe that under the leadership of Xuande Gong, the people of Xuzhou will live better."

Liu Bei has been looking at the potters when he heard this, the development of the potters may be a sincere blessing, there is no irony, so he smiled and said: "Tao Gong sent grain and grass back then, and this time he gave Xuzhou to me, I am grateful, Tao Bus is waiting for some things before leaving, and this time I came for that thing."

Tao Ying took the hand of chopsticks after hearing it, and the time to decide his fate has come, I hope that his father mentioned his sons when he gave Liu Bei Xuzhou, today's matter Tao Ying felt that Liu Bei had begun to doubt.

The potter was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "Xuande Gong, please tell me, what is the use of our brother's help, a definition is not to be given."

Liu Yi rolled his eyes, this potter is really the best, Liu Bei said it so clearly that he couldn't guess it, with your help, what do you think, it's really stupid and a little naïve.

Tao Ying's face was also a little stiff, and he really wanted to say it out loud, big brother, we have nothing, how can we help others, isn't this a joke.

Liu Bei also smiled when he heard it, and said: "Xiao Shang, Tao Gong has prepared enough, there is nothing to ask you for help, before Tao Gong leaves, he asked him to take care of the two of you, I don't know if you have any plans."

The potter was obviously a little surprised when he heard it, and said with some excitement: "My father asked Xuande Gong to take care of us? Are you sure? ”

Liu Bei's current status is terrible, Qingzhou Xuzhou, the power of the two states, and it is connected, especially the strength of Qingzhou, one million yellow turbans got 100,000 troops, there is no pressure at all, it can be said that Qingzhou can fully bear the battle damage, the current Liu Bei can be regarded as a prince with a name and surname in the world, it is estimated that once the news of Xuzhou spreads, Liu Bei's reputation will grow a lot in an instant, and he will be taken care of by Liu Bei, how can he not be happy?

Liu Bei said with a smile: "That's right, Tao Gong entrusts him to be prepared to give the two sons a stable life, no matter how the two sons choose, Bei will definitely respect it."

Tao Shang Tao Ying glanced at him, a little unbelievable that his father had thought so much about them, with Liu Bei's assurance, he basically didn't have to worry about the rest of his life, and Tao Ying's face also showed a hint of a smile.

The potter said excitedly: "Where will we go if Xuande Gong arranges for us."

Liu Yi looked up at the potter in surprise, this sentence is level, I really didn't expect it to be said by the potter, could it be that he is an old man who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile and said: "If I follow my arrangement, I will take you to Qingzhou, give you a courtyard, do whatever you want, you can come to me at any time if you have no money, Qingzhou is safe, and I can protect you at any time."

Liu Bei's idea is like this, he sees the potter Tao Ying under his nose, as for the cost, it is not in his own hands, so it can be said that it is the safest for Liu Bei, and if he does not give them rights, there is no risk at all.

After the pottery merchant heard it, he was about to agree, but Tao Ying next to him suddenly said: "We understand Xuandegong's kindness, so it will be too troublesome for Xuande Gong, and my father still has some assets, enough for our brother to live in the second half of his life, what he should think about is to find a place to be incognito, never ask about the world, and don't want to make more trouble for Xuande Gong." ”

Tao Ying bowed after speaking, with a serious face, he was sincere, he didn't want to trouble Liu Bei is one thing, more importantly, Liu Bei's proposal completely looked at them under their noses, there was no freedom, and the life under the fence was not experienced, and he knew that it would not be very comfortable, as for his brother, Tao Ying knew very well, when he arrived in Qingzhou, he had Liu Bei's support, who could stop him from eating, drinking, and prostitution, but he didn't want to think about how Liu Bei could be so dependent on his temperament.

Liu Yi looked at Tao Ying with a smile, the choice of smart people, maybe it will be safe to follow Liu Bei to Qingzhou, and the living conditions will be very good, but there is no freedom, because Liu Bei will not let them run around with confidence, they will become goldfinches in a cage, enjoying everything, and paying the price at the same time.

Tao Qian, the lord of a state, how can he leave some wealth, there is no need for Tao Ying and Tao Ying to follow Liu Bei in the past, they can choose to be free and have a certain quality of life at the same time, why do they want to send people under the fence.
