Luoyang South City, the flow of people is like weaving, and all kinds of shops are lined up. When Liu Ze and his entourage arrived in Nanshi, it was noon, and the sound of selling and bargaining was endless. Found a restaurant, and the people unloaded their horses to rest their horses. Liu Ze accompanied Le Jin into the restaurant, and Le Jin was on crutches at this time, and he was able to walk slowly. After lunch and a short rest, Liu Song, who accompanied him, came in and told Liu Ze that the accommodation had been found, it was a large inn, more than a dozen cars could be accommodated, the rooms were clean, and the location was good. Liu Ze was overjoyed and rushed to the inn with everyone.

After arranging everything, it was already past noon, Liu Ze asked the more than 20 people accompanying him to go to the street to inquire about it to see if there was a suitable house to rent, and by the way, he gave them 200 yuan each. He sat in the house with Lejin and chatted. In the evening, Liu Song and others came back one after another, saying: "I fancy two places, not far apart, the house is spacious, facing the downtown area, the backyard courtyard is wide, and the homeowner is in a hurry to get rid of it because of something important." Liu Ze hurriedly got up, let Liu Song lead the way, and rushed to see.

The two houses are separated by several stores, quite close, Liu Ze looked at the house, felt very satisfied, when discussing with the homeowner, the two houses unexpectedly turned out to be owned by a family, the homeowner asked for 100,000 yuan a piece, Liu Ze countered 60,000 yuan, the homeowner did not follow, and finally rose to 80,000 yuan, Liu Ze said: "It's better like this, I want two houses, a total of 150,000 yuan, boss, you don't have to wait to make a move, how?" The boss was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be reluctant to cut meat, and said, "Okay, I don't know when Mr. will take the money?" Liu Ze said with a smile: "Please ask the boss to find a few middlemen to be a witness, and the money will arrive soon." The boss was taken aback, and secretly said that this person was so rich. Liu Song was puzzled and quietly asked Liu Ze: "Why does Rundong want two houses?" Liu Ze smiled and said: "I have my own use, you go back and get the money quickly, and let a few of Wen Qian's companions escort you here." ”

When the deed was in hand, Liu Ze did not rush to move in, but asked Liu Song and others to go to the market to find a craftsman who knew how to decorate the house with carpentry. Liu Ze pondered in the two houses for a long time, and according to the style of the hotel and the style of the pharmacy seen in later generations, he made a few scores in his mind and sketched a few sketches. The craftsman quickly found it, Liu Ze took out the sketches and explained them one by one, the craftsmen couldn't accept it for a while, Liu Ze smiled and said: "You just do what I say, if something goes wrong, I don't blame you." When the craftsmen first heard Liu Ze say, they had already retreated, and then they heard Liu Ze say this, so they took the job with peace of mind, negotiated the price, and started to work. Liu Ze pointed out from time to time. After more than half a month, seeing that the decoration of the house was about to be completed, Liu Ze took out a piece of silk cloth that he had asked the village middle school to write before, and wrote the words "Dongping Burning Knife" on it, and asked Liu Song to take the craftsman who went to the city to find the lettering, and engraved these words on the fine wood, and compared the size.

At the end of the house decoration, everyone drove the car to the hotel first, only to see a horizontal plaque hanging on the lintel, the book 'Luoyang Drunken Tavern' five words, mud gold and black background, shining, long wooden boards hanging on both sides of the door frame, which were written: three drunk families next door, ten miles of incense in the open altar. Walking into the store, the stepped wooden shelves are placed against the wall, there is no counter, only a table is placed, the four walls are empty, and the paint is white. Liu Ze beckoned everyone to take down the wine jar and place it on the ladder shelf, and the rest was moved to the warehouse in the backyard. Liu Ze took out the wooden board that asked Liu Song to engrave the words, took a lot of red silk cloth, put the wooden board in the ink cartridge and stained it with ink, pressed down on the silk cloth, took away the wooden board, and the five big characters of "Dongping Burning Knife" were impressively printed on the silk cloth, Liu Ze took the silk cloth and pasted it on the wine jar, the black wine jar, the red silk cloth, it was very good-looking. Only then did Liu Song understand the purpose of the lettering, and grinned. The tavern is open. Liu Ze asked Liu Song to be the shopkeeper and arrange all the matters in the tavern.

After the tavern opened, Liu Ze sent the remaining people back to continue transporting Dongping knives. He and Lejin were admitted to the pharmacy. The pharmacy was named Huichun Tang and hired a few people who knew how to take medicine. Lejin's injury recovered quickly, after all, where is the physical fitness.

One day of being idle and bored, Liu Ze and Le Jin drank in a restaurant opposite the door of the pharmacy, chatting and enjoying themselves. Lejin drank and burned the knife, and couldn't help but exclaim. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves outside the restaurant, and about forty or fifty people on horses roared past the door. The two of them didn't care, it was estimated that the children of the rich family in Luoyang passed by, otherwise where would they be so ostentatious. Unexpectedly, the sound of horses' hooves went and returned, and when the two looked up, they saw three gorgeously dressed people entering the restaurant, and the people at the head were very popular and tall; The second was short, with a swarthy face, but his eyes were shining; The third is thin, with two rat-tail whiskers on his lips and slender eyes. When the three of them came in, they all sniffed, as if a gluttonous cat was looking for the fragrance of fish. In an instant, the three people and six eyes all looked at Liu Ze and the others. The short man laughed before he spoke, "Hahaha, the beginning, the road, I said that the aroma of wine came from a restaurant, and you still don't believe it, how about it?" Without waiting for the two to speak, he bowed his hand to Liu Ze and the others and said: "In Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, and his friends returned from a hunting trip, smelling the fragrance of wine, salivating, I don't know if I can drink three cups together?" Liu Ze suddenly felt dizzy, Shenma? The three fierce men of the Three Kingdoms were speechless for a while. The thin man said, "Ah Hide, what kind of identity are we, how can we drink with ordinary people." At this time, Le Jin stood up and arched his hand and said: "It's better to meet by chance, since it is fate, please sit." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Thank you." Then he turned his head and asked, "Originally, the highway, what do you think?" Yuan Shao didn't speak, walked to the low table and knelt down, Yuan Shu couldn't pull down his face, he was awkward for a long time, and sat down. Liu Ze came back to his senses at this time, and said in his heart, Brother Le, this black guy is your future boss, and said with a smile: "I lost my mind just now, don't blame you, since we have a fate to get together, come and come, let's drink three cups first." After that, he personally poured wine for the three of them and raised a glass to invite each other. Cao Cao was anxious, drank it in one gulp, and immediately choked and coughed, Liu Ze hurriedly beat Cao Cao's back, and when Cao Cao stopped coughing, Fang said: "This wine is as strong as fire, you must drink it slowly in small sips to get the true taste." After the three of them drank it, Liu Ze pretended not to know and said, "Dare to ask the names of the three high surnames?" Cao Cao smiled: "Hahaha, I, Cao Cao Cao Mengde, this Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, this Yuan Shu Yuan Road, may I ask the two names?" Liu Ze said with a smile: "In Xia Dongping, Liu Ze, Liu Rundong, this Yangping Lejin Le Wenqian." Yuan Shao raised his glass and said, "I am fortunate to know each other, and I respect the two of you." The three of them raised their glasses and drank.

Liu Ze saw that there was not enough wine and food, so he invited Xiao Er, added a few dishes, and asked Xiao Er to go to the tavern to bring a jar of burning knives. Cao Cao and others noticed a few words on the wine jar, and Cao Cao smiled: "Sure enough, the wine is as strong as its name, the wine is as strong as fire, down the throat, all the way to the stomach, it is really like a knife in the chest and abdomen, a good name, a good wine!" Yuan Shao also smiled: "I only know the true taste of wine today, and the wine I drank before is as straight as white water." Wine! Yuan Shu saw that Liu Zele couldn't come in to help him, so he sulked secretly, and said in his heart that my son of the third prince drank with you, and exalted you, but he ignored me, and with the strength of the wine, he opened his mouth and said: "I don't know where the two come from?" Abunai is the son of Taiwei, and I and Ben Chu are the third dukes. Cao Cao was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "When you meet in Pingshui, you should drink three hundred cups, and the road is over." Yuan Shao also felt that this younger brother was a little reckless in speaking, and said: "Yes, the first time you meet, you should drink bitterly, so as to show the posture of my generation, and you don't have to mind if you are drunk on the road." Le Jin saw that Yuan Shu looked down on people, and was secretly indignant, knowing that he was from a humble background, but Liu Ze was different, after Liu Cang, the king of Xian, how could his identity be compared with you, and opened his mouth and said: "Born in Xia Hanwei, Rundong is the descendant of Emperor Guangwu after Liu Cang, the king of Xian. Rundong has never overwhelmed people with power, and he gets along very happily with Jin. Le Jin's words were tingling, and Cao Cao and the three of them were shocked when they heard it. Cao Cao hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Rundong turned out to be the Han family, and he was disrespectful. Liu Ze knew in his heart that he was not worth mentioning compared with the three of them after the Han family, the so-called phoenix that landed on the ground was not as good as a chicken. Hurriedly stood up and said: "Meng De's words are serious, the achievements of the predecessors, I dare not show off the future generations." Yuan Shu was repeatedly frustrated, so he wanted to find an opportunity to make Liu Ze unable to come to the stage, and seeing Liu Ze's humility, he said: "After running the Eastern Han Dynasty, he must be talented and full of splendor. "Liu Zexin said this Yuan Highway, I recruited you to provoke you, I won't give you some color today, let you know what is Ma Wangye, who also has three eyes. raised his glass to invite wine, and said in his mouth: "Ze doesn't dare to boast, poetry and articles are still written." Cao Cao's literary talent was gorgeous, and he suddenly became interested, "What is the great work of Rundong, let me wait and see." Liu Ze said with a smile: "The past works are difficult to enter everyone's eyes, and Ze is willing to make them." Cao Cao was overjoyed and urged again and again.

Liu Ze raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup, and asked Cao Cao with a smile from the wine, "I have heard that Meng De and the three of them are chivalrous and righteous, and today I dare to ask Meng De, who is chivalrous?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Taishi Gongyan, words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful, promises must be sincere, do not love their bodies, go to the distress of the soldiers, both have survived and died, and do not hide their abilities, shame their virtues, and cover there are enough people." Taishi Gongzhi said, Cao agreed. Liu Ze stroked his palms and laughed, "Meng De's cut, today Ze takes chivalry as the title, a chapter of ancient style, please Meng De, Benchu, and Highway Yazheng." After saying that, he walked to the bookcase prepared by Lejin, held the pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and worked hard to write the book. When Cao Cao and the three of them looked at it, they saw that the white silk cloth was dripping with ink, and Cao Cao read: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming." The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born. Save Zhao with a golden hammer, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Daliang City. The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical. After Cao Cao finished reading, the three of them were stunned.
