After Liu Bei entered the city, he basically stayed in Tao Qian's mansion, during which there were several banquets, and most of the participants were Chen Qi, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Mi Zhu and other senior citizens in Xuzhou.

Although Mi Fang also has a lot of prestige in Xuzhou, if you want to say that you want to contact the top level of banquets, I am afraid that it is still a little short.

As for the "heir" of the pottery merchant, I am afraid that he has been given up by Tao Qian.

When everyone was still in Mune, Mi Fang first asked in surprise: "But the great benevolence and righteousness rescued my Xuande Gong in Xuzhou?" ”

"Where can great benevolence and righteousness be called, but it is an unshirkable responsibility to help the people of Xuzhou to avoid fire and water!"

"Xuande Gong is not only benevolent and righteous, save me from the peril of Xuzhou, but also obtain my Mi family's secret treasure today, no matter what, please come to my mansion and let my brother and Fang entertain one or two!"

"What do you mean! Liu Bei, isn't it amazing! When will I be in danger of Xuzhou, and I will depend on you as an outsider to save me? Won't my potter lead troops! ”

The potter struggled to break away from the support of his entourage, and was about to rush towards Liu Bei, but was blocked by a sword horizontally.

"Grand Prince," Cao Cheng's voice was as cold as ice, "The sword on Xuande Gong's shoulder is enough for you." ”

"Hey, it's just a small injury, it's fine." Liu Bei waved his hand, "In this case, it is better to obey your fate respectfully and go to your mansion to get together." ”

"This is the Mi family's luck," Mi Fang said with a smile, and then waved his hand to the family: "Please Xuande Gong!" ”

……

Cao Fu.

"Uncle, that's the way it is."

Cao Cheng stood aside respectfully and told the ins and outs of the matter.

"Potter, it's over." A man with a wrinkled face, a beard and a hooked nose said, "Some?" God and Buddha poured. ”

Cao Cheng's face was full of surprise, of course he knew what this wine meant, and what made him even happier was the meaning of Cao Bao letting him drink this wine.

An old man in his forties, with no children under his knees, only a daughter. Now, with the treasured peerless wine to drink, can it be said that the future Cao family will be his Cao Cheng?

Bent his waist suddenly, Cao Cheng was humble to the extreme, he bowed, slowly got up and sat next to Cao Bao, and picked up the glass of fragrant and intoxicating wine to drink-

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Huh?" Cao Cheng was taken aback and almost spilled all the wine in the cup.

"It's not that simple."

……

"Get out of here!!"

"Father, father!"

"Come on, beat this rebel out for me, and if you dare to step into my Tao Mansion again, you will break his legs!"

"Sir...... Shang'er, you, you step back first. The old lady hurriedly waved her sleeves and signaled to the pottery merchant, and she didn't know whether she was afraid of making the old man Tao Qian angry, or afraid that her eldest son would have no hope in the future, or more likely, both.

"Father, he Liu Bei...... The child is wronged! Child......"

The pottery merchant's crying became farther and farther away, and Tao Qian's mood stabilized a little. Slowing down the heaving and violent chest, Tao Qian was helped by the old lady to the couch and lay down, like the incense burner table in those rooms.

"Sir...... Shang'er, what mistake did he make, you want to treat him like this......" The old lady had already cried into tears, "Liu Xuande is known for his benevolence and righteousness, and he must not be upset because Shang'er unintentionally cut him. ”

"Heh," Tao Qian snorted coldly, "Woman's opinion! ”

The old lady was so frightened that she couldn't even stop sobbing.

""The Anthology of Jade Gongzi", have you read it?"

“…… Never. ”

"That Zhang Yu is extremely talented, amazing, and even the seven words are so wonderful." Tao Qian squinted his eyes as if reminiscing, and the old lady also sat quietly aside. In the past, or since becoming the pastor of Xuzhou, there have been fewer and fewer words between her husband and herself.

"One of the poems in the "Anthology" once wrote, 'Zeguo enters the war map, and the people are happy and happy. Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis...... One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

Now, in the world of great contention, it will be a success! He Liu Bei can gain a foothold in Hebei, and he can create a great name in the world, where is there any benevolence and righteousness to speak of, but he is just a hero who can hide more. ”

The old lady didn't dare to say anything, but quietly acted as a listener.

"I don't believe it, he really came to help me. He definitely has a plan for me Xuzhou. But if you want to make a big business, reputation should always be valued. He worked hard in the name of benevolence and righteousness, holding the banner of the Han family, which is his face and cannot be easily broken. Just like that Cao Mengde, if it wasn't for my father to get rid of me, I'm afraid there would be no slaughter of the city, which is also my plan to undermine his righteousness. ”

"The lord is far-sighted." The old lady got up and went to wet the wet silk cloth.

Tao Qian took the soaked silk cloth and wiped his forehead slightly, "So, I was sure that I could hold him down before...... But your heart-wrenched son gave him the opportunity to make trouble, and if he was not careful, I would be surnamed Liu in Xuzhou! ”

"Ahh The old lady was so frightened that she exclaimed, "For...... Why? ”

"He Liu Bei can continue to put on a benevolent and righteous posture, but what about his second and third brothers, the tigers and wolves under him? The more he presses, the more the world regards Liu Bei as benevolent and righteous, and the more ungrateful my Tao family is! ”

"But he doesn't have thousands of soldiers, and no matter how weak I am in Xuzhou, there are tens of thousands of armor soldiers......"

"Stupid!" Tao Qian scolded: "What did Liu Bei do? It's to help me Xuzhou! Now that Cao Cao has not retreated, no matter whether he retreats or not, as long as I dare to destroy him, it will not only make the world disdainful, but also make Cao Thief have a good name! ”

"Can that ...... Fabricate a reason? Let's just say Liu Bei...... Have you taken my heart from Xuzhou? The old lady said tentatively.

"It could have been." Tao Qian changed his posture sideways, "But you must know that the jade prince who now controls the mouthpiece of the world is his own nephew!" ”

……

The green smoke in the incense burner is curling, and the green tea in the cup is just right.

Liu Bei's shoulders were already wrapped, and he was blowing gently on the tea at this time.

"Xuande Gongji people have their own natural appearance, this blow only broke the flesh and skin, and did not hurt the muscles and bones, otherwise it would be difficult to repay the life of the eldest prince."

The person who spoke was graceful and elegant, generous and generous, and it was the head of the Mi family, a giant in Xuzhou, who was recruited by Tao Qian as a Mi Zhu who was not engaged in driving.

The ancestors of the Mi family have been engaged in reclamation for generations, raising nearly 10,000 servants and diners, with assets of hundreds of millions, and in terms of property power alone, it is far greater than the Zhang family, the Su family and the Zhen family in Jizhou.

For example, before Zhang Yu crossed, the horse farm jointly opened by Zhang and Su was guarded by more than 2,000 people, which was far inferior to these 10,000 people.

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, Liu Bei smiled faintly and said: "Zizhong said that he laughed, the eldest prince is so noble, he can't afford to take his life." ”

"It's not that Xuande Gong wants to take his life, but that Xuande Gong and his soldiers are fighting for my Xuzhou, but he, as the son of the state pastor, has done such a thing that is indignant to the gods, I'm afraid that my Xuzhou is in danger! At that time, even if he risked his life, he would not be able to pay it back. ”
