Chapter 285: Peach Blossom Nunnery (Third Update)
At about noon the next day, outside the gate of the General's Mansion, I saw Liu Bei slowly walking out, stepping on a war horse, and heading towards Yuan Tan's mansion with eight soldiers.
Although it is as common as today, the army is mobilized, and the thief is well known, but this is mainly a matter of the superiors, the people are still struggling for three meals a day, and Yecheng is as lively and prosperous as in the past.
But Liu Bei rode a horse and walked on the street, he really didn't appreciate it at all, his eyes were full of longing and sadness, he looked up at the blue sky, and murmured: "Second brother, third brother, are you okay?" ”
Although Yuan Shao respects him on the surface, Liu Bei knows in his heart that the other party is just treating him as a chess piece, and when will this situation of sending people under the fence end! When will their two righteous brothers return?
After walking for a short time, when it was only two streets away from Yuan Tan's mansion, a tempting fragrance of flowers suddenly came into Liu Bei's nose, and Liu Bei said unexpectedly: "Peach blossoms"
When I looked around, I saw a quiet nunnery not far to the left.
"Where is this? It's so fragrant with peach blossoms" Liu Bei asked curiously, this smell was the same as the one he smelled when he married his second brother and third brother Taoyuan.
"Lord, this is the Peach Blossom Nunnery in Yecheng, a famous scenic spot, where these thousand peach trees are planted, I heard that there is an old Taoist priest living here, and he is very clever in fortune-telling," a team leader immediately said.
"Peach Blossom Nunnery" Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked, looked at the three words on the nunnery, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart, thinking that although he had no fixed place to live all these years, he had always had two good brothers to follow loyally, but now he was the only one.
"Lord, do you want to go in and have a look?" The team leader asked curiously.
Liu Bei was a little moved, but after remembering the place he was going to today, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, go and visit the eldest prince first."
"No!" When Liu Bei was about to leave with his horse, he saw the door of the Peach Blossom Nunnery suddenly open, and an old Taoist priest with snow-white hair, a dust-whisked hand, and an ethereal temperament suddenly walked out, looked up at Liu Bei's back, frowned, and shouted: "This general, please stay"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, immediately grabbed the horse, and said curiously: "Is the old Taoist calling me?" ”
"Really, may I ask the general's surname," the old Taoist priest asked solemnly.
Liu Bei immediately dismounted, and Shi Li said: "Liu Bei is under it"
The old Taoist priest's pupils shrank, and he said, "But the uncle of the Han Emperor, Yuzhou Mu, and Liu Bei, the left general."
"Really," Liu Bei said.
The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and said, "General, where are you going?" ”
Although Liu Bei wondered why this old Taoist elder cared so much about him, he still said: "Bei plans to go to the eldest prince today to thank him."
After glancing at the street in front of him, the old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "According to the old Taoist, the general should not go."
"Why?" Liu Bei wondered.
"Forgive the old man's words, the general originally carried the dragon and tiger with him, and his luck was extraordinary, but today the dark clouds covered the dragon, and the blood light washed away the tiger, only the old Taoist peach blossom nunnery may be able to solve this disaster" The old Taoist priest said seriously.
"Old Dao, presumptuous" Hearing this, the team leader next to him suddenly said angrily.
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, but Bei never believes in this, and even if there is a disaster, why can the Taoist be here?" ”
"Because there will be a distinguished guest here today, as long as he is here, Uncle Huang's life is worry-free, and he can avoid this catastrophe," the old Taoist priest said.
"Oh! Who is it, it is Yuan Gong" Liu Bei said curiously.
"No, no, no, it's Tian Feng, the mastermind under the command of Duke Yuan, Lord Tian, the old Taoist was just doing meditation, and suddenly felt palpitations, but just now Lord Tian came to the post, and his mood calmed down, and when he went out, he happened to see Uncle Huang, and saw that your Yin Hall was black, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe, think about it, maybe only Lord Tian can protect Uncle Huang" The old Taoist priest explained carefully.
Liu Bei frowned, and wondered: "Why does the Taoist chief care so much about Bei?"
"Uncle Huang is benevolent and loves the people, a benevolent heart shines in all directions, and the old Taoist can't bear to let you have problems," the old Taoist priest said frankly.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Bei said, "Okay, I'll bother you."
Liu Bei didn't believe this kind of thing, but he didn't want to refuse the other party's kindness, and more importantly, he also wanted to have a good chat with Tian Feng, the mastermind in the north.
"Lord, that Yuan Tan Gongzi's side" Hearing this, the team leader suddenly asked anxiously.
"Just say that if you are in trouble today, you will visit again another day," Liu Bei commanded.
"No!"
"Uncle Huang, please," the old Taoist priest smiled.
"Thank you," Liu Bei led the soldiers to follow the old Taoist priest towards the Peach Blossom Nunnery.
At this time, the two men who had been following behind and carrying the goods looked at this scene, and they all looked at the Peach Blossom Nunnery in surprise, and they were just one step away, who is this old Taoist priest, why did he stop Liu Bei's way, could it be that their affairs were leaked, but this is impossible!
Just when the two of them were in a hurry, suddenly a fast horse rushed over from a distance, only to see a family member dismount, to the old Taoist priest who had just entered the door, sorry: "Daochang Li, my master has just been passed by the lord, I can't come to visit today, and I ask the Taoist to atone for my sins."
"What" the old Taoist priest's pupils shrank.
Liu Bei was also stunned, it seemed that the old Taoist had miscalculated, and slowly retracted the right leg that had stepped into the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and said with a wry smile: "Since Lord Tian has something to do, then I won't stay long, and I will come to visit the Taoist chief another day."
The old Taoist priest looked at the threshold and said solemnly: "Uncle Huang, don't you really plan to go in and have a look?" ”
"No, thank you, Dao Chang, prepare for a lifetime of fighting, you have already estimated life and death, if you really come, you can't hide" Liu Bei smiled faintly, said arrogantly, and then politely gave a salute, turned around and left directly with people.
Looking at the figure of the re-stepped on the war horse, the old Taoist priest shook his head and muttered: "Providence, it is really providence, the true dragon is about to be born, the hidden dragon abdicates to make way for Xian, one step apart, the strength of the number of qi can be seen to see the high and low, non-human can stop it"
"Daochang Li, what did you say?" The family next to him asked curiously.
The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "Please tell Lord Tian that the old Taoist is going to travel abroad today, and he will say goodbye."
Jia Ding was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but still nodded.
After the old Taoist priest took one last look at Liu Bei's back, he shook his head and said softly: "Close the door"
"Yes, Master," the two boys immediately closed the door of the Peach Blossom Nunnery slowly.
At this time, Liu Bei, who had left, also glanced back at the gradually closed gate, and there was an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, but he still drove towards Yuan Tan's residence.
When the two men who followed behind saw this scene, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of their mouths showed smiles, and one of them said, "The big thing is decided."
