Liu Chan heard Liu Bei's summons, and walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the guards.

The hall of the City Lord's Mansion was a little cool, only Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, and even the footsteps of Liu Chan walking in were particularly clear.

Liu Chan lowered his head and looked at Liu Bei who was kneeling in the hall in front of him, Liu Bei was wearing a gray robe at this time, although his face was not as embarrassed as he was outside the city, his face was thin, his eyes were slightly sunken, and he looked sick and anxious.

"Son-in-law, see father." Liu Chan calmly finished saluting and continued to stand with his head bowed.

When Liu Chan arrived, Liu Bei was watching Liu Chan's every move, and seeing Liu Chan saluting himself calmly, not arrogant or impatient, Liu Bei nodded and said slowly: "Don't stand, sit down." ”

Liu Chan saluted again, sat quietly on the small table opposite Zhao Yun, and never said a word again.

After Liu Chan sat down, the hall became even quieter, as long as the beams of the sunset outside the window were scattered in the center of the hall through the windows outside the hall, slowly moving in the direction of Liu Bei.

At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered something, opened his slightly closed eyes, got up and saluted Liu Bei and said: "Lord, Dongwu called, the villagers along the river fled for their lives because of the war, and now there is nowhere to resettle, so the minister thinks that they will be placed in the city first, so that the people can have a place to live." ”

"It's been a pain for our Han people again."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he sighed again, and seemed to be unable to help but think of this defeat, wiped his eyes and said ashamedly: "I should really listen to your persuasion at that time!" However, the second brother was killed by Sun Wu, and I was unwilling! ”

"Lord!"

Seeing that Zhao Yun wanted to come to comfort, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Zilong, you can go and settle those villagers now, and the scattered soldiers must also continue to be gathered." ”

Zhao Yun took the order, sighed, and walked out. Liu Chan still sat quietly in front of the table below with his head bowed, and with the dark armor on his body, he seemed even more silent.

After Zhao Yun left, Liu Bei leaned even weaker against the wall behind him, tightened his robe, and stared at Liu Chan with collapsed eyes, but he didn't have the worry just now, but looked very calm.

"I didn't expect you to come, this time you came to surprise me even more than I defeated the battle!"

Liu Bei stared at Liu Chan who was calmly bowing his head below, as he said, he didn't expect Liu Chan to come here, because in his eyes, Liu Chan was just a child who didn't grow up, but now he felt that his son had grown up.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Chan's current performance, nodded slightly, but sighed again and said: "Since my father's army defeated Yiling, I know that my body is not good, and I am afraid that I will not live long!" ”

"Father!"

Liu Chan was shocked in his heart, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Liu Bei with slightly red eyes.

This is the first time Liu Chan has looked at Liu Bei so closely, this is his father, he has never even seen his parents in front of him in his previous life, and now that he has a father, he thought that he had a support in his heart, but looking at Liu Bei's haggard face, there was an inexplicable soreness in his heart.

Thinking about it now, after this defeat, not to mention the loss of the army, the strength is getting weaker and weaker, this is for modern society, the old man who should have children and grandchildren in the same hall to enjoy his old age is now worried, this stormy country and this old man in the wind and candle years are connected, Liu Chan has an indescribable heaviness in his heart.

Liu Chan wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't know how to speak, even if he did, he could only lie to himself, according to the experience of his two lives, he could also see that now Liu Bei was not only physically but also mentally broken, even if he lived, he was just slowly waiting for death.

Because this war against Wu, which was almost the strength of the whole country, not only wiped out the entire army, hollowed out the entire Han State, but also hollowed out Liu Bei's body.

Liu Bei saw Liu Chan's worries, looked at Liu Chan dotingly, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Death, I'm not afraid, it's just that you are still young, and I can't let go of the Han family for you!" ”

Liu Bei paused after speaking, his eyes regained a little brightness, and he continued to stare at Liu Chan and said in a deep voice: "My wish is to be like Emperor Gaozu and let the Han Dynasty be unified, can you fulfill your father's wish!" ”

Liu Chan also felt Liu Bei's firm and cold gaze, although Liu Bei was still weak now, he didn't have the appearance of crying and crying just now, staring at Liu Chan with a solemn face, and from time to time there was a fine light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

After all, Liu Chan has the memory of two lifetimes, and he doesn't have a deep concept of the monarch, all he wants is to fulfill his father's last wish, as well as the innocent people and hot-blooded soldiers he saw on the road, and he wants to do something for them with all his strength.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan subconsciously clenched his fists, looked at Liu Bei, who was staring at him, and said solemnly: "I won't let you down, the unification of the Three Kingdoms is not only your wish, but now it is also my wish, I will lead our Han soldiers to unify the Three Kingdoms, so that our people will no longer suffer from war." This is not only my promise to my father, but also my promise to myself! ”

Liu Bei exhaled with satisfaction when he heard Liu Chan's promise, continued to tighten his robe on his body, sat firmly, looked at Liu Chan and said slowly: "Now not only Cao Wei and Sun Wu, but also Liu Zhang's old department and Kong Ming and others in China have many disagreements, you have to be cautious!" If one is not handled well, I am afraid that our entire royal family will be overturned. Be careful! ”

Liu Chan's heart was shocked, all he was thinking about was how to lead the army to unify the world, but he ignored the things in front of him. After Liu Bei said this, Liu Chan also became dignified.

After all, Liu Bei has just finished beating Liu Zhang, and the internal stability is not stable enough, plus this time he did not listen to the persuasion and insisted on killing Wu and causing a miserable white, the officials will definitely have opinions, if the ministers are in trouble now, the Han State is estimated to be really in danger!

"Chen Dao, Wei Yan and Bai'er are my henchmen, you have to use them at your discretion!" Liu Bei saw that Liu Chan was silent, paused and continued.

Liu Chan looked at his tired father, nodded deeply, and began to ponder, without speaking.

Although today is the first time he has seen Liu Bei, in addition to the dullness in his heart, there is a heavy burden, this burden is the entire Han Kingdom, for the rise of the Han Kingdom and his father's wish for unification, and for the safety and survival of the precarious Liu family, even Liu Chan, who has experienced two lifetimes, is now extremely heavy in his heart.

At this time, the whole hall seemed quiet, the afterglow of the sunset finally slowly moved to Liu Bei's body through the window, under the illumination of the afterglow of the sunset, Liu Bei tightened his robe again, leaned back, stared at the sunset outside the window, waved his hand after a moment of silence, and said, "I'm tired, you can also go down and rest." ”

"Take care, father!"

Looking at Liu Bei, who looked even more haggard under the afterglow of the sunset, Liu Chan saluted Liu Bei in a deep voice and slowly retreated.

Liu Bei in the main hall calmly watched Liu Chan's back gradually disappear into the main hall, paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

One of the guards hurried over.

"Go and call me Chen."

The guards took the order and ran away, Liu Bei then tightened his robe, leaned against the wall behind him, looked at the sunset in the afterglow, and let out a long breath, as if he had made some important decision. muttered: "Adou, you must not live up to your father's expectations!" Second brother and third brother, when the eldest brother finishes doing this, I will accompany you, and let's fight the world together, how happy it should be! I vaguely saw two lines of tears slowly slipping from Liu Bei's collapsed eyes......

Liu Chan came out of the city lord's mansion, looked at the sunset on the city head, and sighed, his mood was extremely solemn. I thought that after being reborn, I could do many things that I liked to do in my previous life but couldn't, but thinking about the entrustment of my father Liu Bei in this life, and then thinking about the entire Han Kingdom that is now stormy, there will definitely be many unknown dangers waiting for him in the future.

In the face of these unknown fates, he instinctively does not give in, but fights, which is something in his bones. Thinking of this, he shook his head fiercely to keep himself calm, he knew that the unification of the Three Kingdoms was not just a matter of fighting by himself, he had to keep a cool head at all times to face all unknown difficulties.

At this time, the guards hurriedly came, Liu Zen calmed down, and walked to his temporary residence under the guidance of the guards.

At this time, the people who fled were also taken to White Emperor City by Zhao Yun.

Ragged civilians lined up as they passed through the gates of the city, slowly pouring into the city, and curious children leaned into the arms of panicked women, staring blankly at the tall buildings in the city and the armored soldiers at the city's head. And the white-eared soldiers also fell asleep in tears in the barracks in the northwest corner of the city after a simple wash.

The setting sun slowly sets into the mountains to the west as the sleeping soldiers and the last of the refugees enter the city.
