Recommended reading: Xuchang, Chengnan, Yicheng Houfu!

Liu Bei's mansion is definitely the most humble, shabby, and least noticeable mansion among the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, and there is no one!

A small courtyard with a black lacquered gate, five main houses, more than a dozen side rooms, the houses are low and old, not to mention, even the roof tiles have fallen off a lot, and the courtyard is also dilapidated, only a few dead trees, all of which are half-dead, extremely depressed!

There are very few people living here, in total, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, the chief bookkeeper - Sun Qian, plus Mi Zhu, who has not healed from an arrow wound in his thigh, and there are less than ten servants, all of whom are the most basic cooks, grooms, porters, etc., and there are no superfluous idlers.

In fact, Liu Bei arrived in Xuchang, and after facing the king in the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion issued an order to arrange a mansion for him on Baihu Street on the west side of the palace, and there were hundreds of servants to listen to it, where not only the transportation is convenient, the court is convenient, but also the powerful gather, and it is easy to communicate between colleagues.

Liu Bei took the two brothers to take a look, and then he desperately resigned, saying that he would not move in, the ostensible reason was, "I have not made an inch, I dare not be rewarded, as a member of the Han family, I should be strict with myself, etc......."

Then he went to the civilian area in the south of the city, spent some thought, specially found such a small courtyard, lived a life of poverty and self-control, and did not even hang out the plaque of the 'General Zuo' mansion, left and right neighbors, passers-by, no one could have imagined that there was a big Han 'imperial uncle' living here! ’

Guan and Zhang also interrogated in private, "The eldest brother doesn't live in the mansion, why do you have to come here to suffer?" ”

As a result, Liu Bei was silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "Didn't the two virtuous brothers find that the diagonal opposite of that mansion is the mansion of the Grand Governor-Xiao Yi?" With the 'greedy wolf' as a companion day and night, the foolish brother can't sleep well! ”

Guan and Zhang nodded yes, asked no more questions, and never went out of the door, practicing martial arts every morning and evening, spending their days leisurely, and quietly observing the changes in the political situation.

In the small courtyard, the third general Zhang Fei was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, squatting next to the well, polishing the arrow cluster on a crescent-shaped white stone, back and forth, 'Kaka' sounded, next to it, Guan Yu was correcting a few bows and crossbows, and from time to time pulled into a full moon shape, debugging the strength, they were preparing for the 'winter hunting' in a few days, the little emperor appointed their eldest brother to escort him, if they want to show their skills in the hunting ground, how can they do it without a good strong bow and arrows!

As for the eldest brother Liu Bei, he was stunned at a few dead trees in the yard, and he was still silently chanting something in his mouth, "~~ The wood is in the small courtyard of the four directions, it is for 'sleepy', I don't know when I will be able to get out of trouble, the dragon will return to the sea, and the tiger will enter the deep mountains~~"

"My lord! …… Lord Liu~~"

The porter Lao Yu dragged a lame leg and walked over, still holding a gilded invitation in his hand, he was Liu Bei's personal soldier, he was wounded on the battlefield and lame, so he stayed by his side to be a porter, and brought it to Xuchang, which is considered a very small loyal person!

Other people's concierges are selected for those with flexible legs and feet, only Liu Bei is a special, and he used a 'turtle slow' to walk, but slow also has the benefit of slowness, once there is an uninvited guest, the lame old man is in front of the support, Liu Bei can have more time to prepare, although the tortoise is not as fast as the rabbit, but it is more long-lived.

"Why are you so panicked, say it slowly, don't rush!"

"No!" The porter looked at his lame leg depressedly, and he seemed to be panicked at this speed, but he still slowed down obediently~ "Lord Fu sent someone to send an invitation, and my colleagues in the house will have a banquet tonight, and General Zuo is invited to participate!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei took the invitation and looked at it, but it was written by himself, the handwriting was beautiful, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, there was a feeling of wanting to fly out, revealing a strong sense of pride~~~

Banquet colleagues, it must be those officials who support the little emperor in advance on the Golden Palace's 'crown ceremony', it seems that they are really connected together, but they are a political force that cannot be underestimated, but should they go?

"Go? …… may fall into this **; If you don't go, you may have a great opportunity to take measures, and you will offend many people......"

Holding the invitation card in his hand, Liu Bei pondered for a long time and was difficult to decide!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After half a ring!

"My lord...... my lord, my lord, it's not good!" The lame old man Yu came to tell again, two legs of different lengths, he ran fast, and his face was still frightened, "That guy who eats dead human flesh is here, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses!" ”

"Well, the one who eats the flesh of the dead? …… Who the hell is coming? ”

"It's 'Ghost-faced Xiao Lang', the murderous Metropolitan Governor - Xiao Yi is here!"

"Shhh Liu Bei stood up suddenly, Guan and Zhang beside him also stopped, and the three of them looked at each other, they were all slightly surprised, what was he doing?

"Let's go, come out with me to meet you!" Liu Bei immediately hid the bronzing invitation in his arms, thought about it, and then ran back to the bedroom, took out the half-woven bamboo hat, and continued to weave it, while taking Guan and Zhang out to welcome guests!

Outside the mansion gate, Xiao Yi was wearing a black and gold flower robe, a gold crown inlaid with several pearls, deerskin soft boots under his feet, a leopard print belt around his waist, and the blood wave slashing sword hung on it.

"Haha! Unknown Metropolitan Governor ~ Coming, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins in person! ”

"Hehe, Xuande Gong is polite, you and I are bosom friends, why care about these vulgar etiquette?"

Liu Bei was wearing a dark gray coarse cloth coat, an ordinary silk and linen belt around his waist, no crown and hat, his hair was pulled up casually, a wooden hairpin was inserted, and a pair of black hemp shoes were also under his feet, and he also held a half-braided hat in his hand.

After the two of them finished saluting, they looked at each other again, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and a sentence rose in their hearts at the same time, "This grandson is really dressed like this!" ”

Xiao Yi looked at Liu Bei, "The dignified Han clan relatives, in order to protect themselves in a low-key manner, they actually dressed up like a straw sandals seller, they are really thick-skinned enough, but unfortunately, this kind ......of little trick, don't want to hide the fiery eyes of Brother Guo, by the way, this product used to sell straw shoes, no wonder it is vivid~~"

Liu Bei looked at Xiao Yi, "Obviously a murderous butcher, you have to pretend to be a good son in the world, do you think that if you put a sheep's skin on the evil wolf, it will be able to change its temperament and eat grass?" The strong smell of blood on the body can be smelled two miles away, who are you fooling! ”

spat at each other in his heart, but his face was not revealed at all, and the two were still talking and laughing.

"I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor is doing when he comes to the Humble House?"

"I heard that General Zuo moved to a new house and came to the greenhouse to fulfill the friendship of friends!"

The so-called 'greenhouse' means that after a person moves, his relatives and friends will send one or two small gifts, furniture and the like to come over and lick the popularity, and congratulate him by the way.

"Thank you so much, please!" Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just sending one or two things, it's not a big deal!

"Xuande Gong doesn't have to be polite, come on, let the team behind hurry up, don't grind!" Xiao Yi beckoned, and immediately a personal soldier ran back, and soon, a convoy appeared in front of the mansion!

When others come to the greenhouse, it is enough to bring one or two pieces of furniture at most, but Xiao Yi is not, dozens of pro-soldiers, pressing a few carts to come, the number of gifts on it, the variety is complete, it is even more dumbfounded......

Beds, tables, screens, incense burners, iron kettles, tableware, wine utensils, animal skin bedding, and even gold-painted toilets have been prepared.

That's not all, there is another group of pro-soldiers at the door, and they actually unloaded two big stone lions, one on one side of the door, tall and mighty, and the black lacquered gate was also replaced with red paint by them, which looked so eye-catching, and a gilded plaque was also hung up~~ Yicheng Houfu!

Well, after such a dress, even ordinary people who don't know how to read know know that there is a noble man living here, driven by curiosity, even if there is nothing to do, he will take a few more looks, which is equivalent to countless pairs of eyes around, monitoring day and night~~

"Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor is too polite, too wasteful......" In the courtyard, Liu Bei smiled and kept thanking him, but the bitter water in his heart flowed into a river, and it was difficult to protect himself in a low-key manner?

"General Zuo doesn't have to be polite, you and I are ministers in the same palace, these are all as they should be!" Xiao Yi is also smiling, big-eared Ah Fu, now look at how low-key you are, obediently stay in Xuchang for me!
