Liu Xin knew in his heart that Zhang Fei was very loyal, and his feelings for the righteous brothers were probably deeper than his feelings for his own brothers, since they wanted to get married, he couldn't miss it, so he quickly jumped out: "What's the point of three people settling together, it's better to be more lively." ”

When Zhang Fei saw that it was Liu Xin, when he drank with Dian Wei and Xu Chu yesterday, he heard them tell a lot of Liu Xin's stories, and he had a preconceived idea in his heart, he already knew that he was a good official praised by everyone in the river, so he said respectfully: "I don't know what the adults have to say?" ”

Liu Xin said: "Although I am a Taishou, I am very close to you, why don't we become brothers together, are you willing to agree?" ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu hurriedly said: "How dare I climb high." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said disappreciably: "You have two eyes and one nose, and I also have two eyes and one nose, what's the difference?" Let's just talk about righteousness, don't care about those subsections. ”

Zhang Fei applauded: "Okay! The adults said it very well, you two don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law, hurry up, the four of us will worship together. ”

Liu Xin pointed at Zhao Yun and said, "Not busy." There are also two generals in Hejian, and this Zhao Yun brother is also a person with a surname, so it is better to worship them as well. ”

Zhang Fei is a straightforward surname, and he couldn't wait to say: "Well, the seven of us will compare whose strength is greater, and the one with the greatest strength is the eldest brother!" ”

Liu Xin listened to his words and remembered a story, legend has it that when Liu Guan and Zhang swore to each other, it was Zhang Fei who proposed that whoever had the most strength should be the eldest brother, but Liu Bei came up with a bad idea, which was better than climbing a tree. As a result, Zhang Fei was in a hurry, and he climbed to the top of the tree at once, Guan Yu saw that the situation was not good, and he also rushed over and climbed to the middle of the waist. Liu Bei stood at the root of the tree and did not move, and asked the two of them if they had the roots or the treetops first? As a result, he became a big brother.

Liu Xin didn't want to be so deceitful, shook his head and said, "Of course it's older than my age, if it's more strength, which of you can compare to me?" That's not going to be a force. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Xin incredulously: "My lord, you're not bragging, right?" It doesn't seem to be very strong, but how strong it can be. ”

Liu Xin pointed to a dying poplar tree in the yard and said, "Can you break the branches of this tree?" ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "Don't talk about branches, even if it's so difficult to interrupt this tree." ”

Liu Xin walked about five meters away from the tree, and with a dark luck, a "ha" sound, and a punch according to the branch, only to hear a sound of "fluttering horn", and a broken branch fell from the tree. Liu Xin arched his hand at Zhang Fei and said, "If you want to fight like this, can you?" ”

Zhang Fei looked at all this, no matter how he couldn't believe it, he rushed forward and picked up the broken branch, it was indeed newly broken, he tried again and punched a few times in the direction of the tree, and the branches on the tree did not move at all. Zhang Fei looked at Liu Xin in a daze: "Impossible, this branch was broken just now, and the wind blew it down." ”

Liu Xin said: "Then you are optimistic. After speaking, he punched out another punch in the direction of the poplar tree, only to see the branch shaking for a while, and "popping" fell a broken branch.

Zhang Fei was completely convinced this time, turned over and bowed to the ground: "The eldest brother is above, please accept the little brother's worship!" ”

Liu Xin helped him up and said, "Hey, let's still rank according to age." ”

Zhang Fei still wanted to be this big brother in his heart, he saw that Liu Xin was handsome, and he didn't think he would be much older, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Okay, then listen to the adults." ”

As a result, compared with age, Liu Xin was the largest, Zhang Fei ranked third, but Xu Huang was second. Liu Xin looked at Zhang Fei and couldn't help laughing, this kid still couldn't escape the fate of being a junior. Liu Xin thought to herself, it's okay now, Liu Bei, the brother of the big-eared thief, let me abduct me, and his story of righteousness that has been left for thousands of years seems to be written by me, so he asked: "Yide, do you have a peach orchard in this village?" ”

Zhang Fei was taken aback: "Yes." Big brother, how do you know? ”

Dian Wei laughed and said: "Our eldest brother has the ability to predict the future, and there is often a golden armor god who gives him a dream, and the eldest brother doesn't know anything." ”

Liu Xin's brain was dizzy for a while, this guy treated me as a magic stick: "Okay, don't talk nonsense." Yide, take us to Taoyuan and bow down. ”

There are 100 peach trees in the peach orchard on Zhang Feizhuang, but unfortunately there is a big drought this year, and there are not many leaves on the trees, and a few peach blossoms bloom here and there. Someone had already arranged the incense case, and Liu Xin took the four of them to kneel down together, and also set aside the positions of Xu Huang and Zhang He. Liu Xin kowtowed three heads towards the incense case, and said with a heartfelt voice: "The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I, Liu Xin, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun are brothers with different surnames today, and we will share blessings and hardships from now on." If this oath is violated, both men and gods will be punished. Liu Xin didn't want to be like a big-eared thief, saying bad things about dying in the same year and month. The four of them also followed Liu Xin's example and swore together.

The worship has ended, and the five of them are beaming. Zhang Fei suddenly led everyone to a remote courtyard in the back house and shouted, "Daughter-in-law, come out and meet your uncles and uncles." ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he was very surprised, this Zhang Fei has already married a wife? I saw the opening of the courtyard door, and Wan Wan Tingting walked out of a beautiful girl, about thirteen or four years old, and said a blessing to everyone: "Cheap concubine Xiahou, I have seen all uncles and uncles. ”

Everyone saw that it was Zhang Fei's wife, and hurriedly returned the salute. Zhang Fei picked up the woman and said to Liu Xin: "My daughter-in-law was robbed, I'm afraid others will know about it, and she has been hiding in this small courtyard." ”

Liu Xin was shocked: "Third brother, you snatched this woman back?" This is not the work of the big husband. Liu Xin knew that Zhang Fei's surname was irritable, and he often whipped the soldiers after drinking, but he didn't expect him to do something to rob people's daughters, so he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Zhang Feihan smiled: "Hehe, big brother doesn't know." Zhang Fei has a rough appearance, and he is just a person who kills pigs and sells alcohol, and ordinary people are unwilling to marry their daughters to me. This woman's name is Xiahou Juan, and I saw her chopping wood alone in the mountains, and I fell in love with her at a glance, so I kidnapped her and went home. The two of us are in love now, and we are a couple. ”

Liu Xin ignored him and asked Xiahou Juan: "Are you really willing to be with my third brother, if you don't want to, I will be the master for you." ”

Xiahou Juan bowed to Liu Xinyingying and said, "Thank you, uncle." The slave family died of both parents when he was a child, and was raised by his uncle, and the uncle didn't know where to go the year before last, and the slave family was alone, unable to make a living, and was taken home by his husband. Although the husband is rough in appearance, he has an excellent heart and loves the slave family, and the slave family is willing to be with him. ”

Liu Xin was shocked when she heard it, Zhang Fei will also hurt his wife? It was almost the same as beating his wife after he was drunk, probably this Xiahou Juan was afraid of being beaten by him, so he didn't believe it, and asked again: "I ask you, did my third brother beat you after drinking." ”

Xiahou Juan shook his head again and again. Zhang Fei was anxious: "Big brother, am I such a person?" I hate the person who bullied my daughter-in-law the most, and I haven't touched a finger from her until now. Moreover, I pity her for being young, so far there is not, no, no ......"

Zhang Feisheng blushed, unable to speak, Xiahou Juan turned his head shyly.

Liu Xin suddenly understood, and said that Zhang Fei was thick and fine, but he didn't expect him to be so careful when he hurt people, he was really unseemly, so he laughed and said: "Third brother, brother and sister, as long as you are and Meimei, I will rest assured." There is just one thing, third brother, you are not allowed to rob women in the future. ”

Zhang Fei patted his chest: "Big brother, don't worry, there is such a good daughter-in-law at home, how can I rob other women again, even if there is one sent to the door, I won't ask for it." ”

Liu Xin sweated evilly, Zhang Fei said this, his wife still followed him with all her heart? I didn't expect the rough line Zhang Fei to have this set, alas, it's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast, Liu Xin was silent for a long time, and there was nothing to say.

Zhang Fei handed over Zhuangzi to a few old servants, cleaned up some soft by himself, took Xiahou Juan, and followed Liu Xin and his party to the river. It's been almost a month since this time came and went, and Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh, the traffic is really inconvenient in this era.

As soon as you enter the river realm, the scenery is very different. As far as the eye can see, the fields are green, and the people are toiling in the fields, and it seems that the drought has not caused much of an impact. Passing through the county and villages, people live comfortably, with happy smiles on their faces, although there are often people talking about this year's drought, but almost everyone believes that Taishou Liu can take them through the difficulties. At this time, Zhang Fei finally believed in the words of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and under Liu Xin's governance, Hejian was like a fairyland on earth. However, Liu Xin knew in his heart that if it didn't rain again, Hejian wouldn't last long.

Perhaps God was moved by people's persistence, and a few clouds floated in, gradually covering their heads.

Zhao Yun looked at the slowly gloomy sky and said, "Big brother, it seems to be raining, let's go quickly." ”

Liu Xin also raised his head, his face full of joy: "It's good to rain, if there is a heavy rain, the drought will be effectively alleviated." The people will have a much better time this year. ”

Sure enough, a light rain fell in the sky, and both the people working in the fields and the soldiers accompanying Liu Xin couldn't suppress their excitement and cheered. Even the horses were infected and neighed happily.

However, the reality is always unforgiving, and the first rain of 183 A.D. came and went faster like a passing passer. Before the cheers of the crowd landed, the smiling face of the Sun Father-in-law appeared from the clouds again, and the raindrops were sparse, and after a while, they disappeared without a trace.

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, let's keep going." Liu Xin shook his head helplessly, the sky has no eyes! Everyone deeply agreed, and urged the horses to move forward together.

When we came to the town of Hejian County, it was already dusk, and the gates were not closed. Hearing that it was Lord Taishou who traveled back to the city, many people who were busy entering and exiting the city gate spontaneously moved out of the way, separated on both sides, and let out bursts of cheers, Zhang Fei once again felt Liu Xin's prestige among the local people.

Ma Yun, who has a shy belly, has to go to the gate of the Taishou Mansion almost every day to wait for Liu Xin's return, and today finally got her wish. The first thing Liu Xin did when he returned home was to hold a new worship ceremony, and Xu Huang, who had been in a bad mood, also showed a long-lost smile on his face.

At the dinner party, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu naturally had to drink happily, Xu Huang and Zhang He, who are usually not good at drinking, also drank happily, Liu Xin still did not allow Zhao Yun to drink, and he was also happy to find Fan Juan.

Liu Xin returned to the back house alone, but saw Ma Yun sitting on the edge of the bed with an unhappy face.
