Chapter 209: Illusion Hall
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers also looked around, and sure enough, they saw that there was only one feather arrow inserted in the red heart on the arrow target, and it was still dangling there, Mi Zhu was worried that Zhang Liao's face would not be able to hang up, and hurriedly said to Mi Zhen: "Zhen'er must not be rude." ”
Zhang Liao jumped off the horse with a smile and said, "Zhang Mouxian is ugly, why don't we go to the target to find out and see where the other two arrows went." ”
Everyone came to the arrow target, Mi Zhu brother and sister three were stunned, and two arrows were not missed, it was clear that three arrows were shot at a point, the first two have passed through the arrow target, directly embedded in the poplar tree behind the arrow target, if it were not for the two arrows blocked, the last arrow has also passed through the target,
In the face of Zhang Liao's miraculous archery, the two Mi Zhu brothers admired the five bodies and insisted on leaving him to eat in Mifu, Zhang Liao's original mission was to try to make friends with the civil and military forces of Xuzhou, naturally he couldn't ask for it, Mi Zhu ordered people to go to the street to invite Zhang Qing, but Zhang Qing was busy diagnosing the people, and refused to come over to eat this meal anyway,
After three rounds of drinking, Mi Zhu suddenly said: "General Zhang is full of martial arts, why don't you choose the master to do things." ”
Zhang Liao didn't expect that such a cautious person as Mi Zhu would ask such an out-of-tune question, so he couldn't help but put down his wine glass, looked at Mi Zhu playfully, and said mockingly: "Then who does Mr. Mi think is the master, do you want me to serve Master Tao." ”
Mi Zhu also saw a little bit of the imminent chaos in the world, he knew that Tao Qian was still difficult to protect himself, where could he attract talents, how could a hero like Zhang Liao agree to work for Tao Qian, hearing Zhang Liao's words were a little displeased, Mi Zhu also felt that his words were a little abrupt, and quickly explained: "Although Tao Zhijun is upright, but he is in the last years of the wind and candle, Mi said that there is another person, this person's surname is Liu Mingbei Xuande, and your family is the same, but also a member of the Han family, he is ambitious, humble and courteous, Diligent government and love the people, he will be the lord of Xuzhou in the future. ”
Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "I know this person, I saw it once in Luoyang, my father-in-law once warned him, don't pretend to be a member of the Han family again, I didn't expect him to come to Xuzhou again to swagger and deceive, a complete hypocritical villain." ”
This time, it was Mi Zhu's turn to be taken aback, and asked in a lost voice: "What are you talking about, how can Xuande Gong pretend to be a member of the Han family." ”
Zhang Liao waved his hand and said: "This matter is a long story, and the reason for Zhang is not very clear, but when my father-in-law said this, Liu Bei did not express any objections, let me tell you the truth, Zhang was originally a junior colonel in the Bingzhou Army, admired Lu Bu's prestige, and surrendered to Dong Zhuo with him, which was the biggest mistake in Zhang's life, and later, Zhang was ordered to block the Jingzhou army from going north, and fought a vicious battle with General Huang under the lord outside Yique Pass, and was captured. ”
Mi Zhu was even more surprised, and asked, "Could it be that there are still people under Lord Liu who are better than you in martial arts, is it because Lord Liu didn't kill you that you are willing to serve him." ”
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Jingzhou generals are better than Zhang Mou's martial arts, and when I got there, I knew what is outside the sky, Zhang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is a rare master in the world. Some small Caozhou county officials, one branch and one leaf are always concerned. ”
Mi Zhu couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered, "Could it be that I was wrong in the past." ”
From the first time he saw Liu Bei, Mi Zhu was attracted by his conversation and demeanor, and when he learned that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, he was even more determined to serve him as the lord of Xuzhou, so he would persuade Tao Qian when he took the initiative to give in, but Zhang Liao's words shook his mind, no matter what kind of person Liu Xin was, Liu Bei pretending to be a member of the Han family alone made him unable to accept it, so he no longer played Zhang Liao's idea, and only cared about drinking.
On the street of Xuzhou, Zhang Qing's side is still surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, a team of people and horses passed by them, the first person is bare-faced and long-haired, holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife, it is the martial saint Guan Yu, he inadvertently turned his head to look at the crowd, couldn't help but "ah", his face was surprised, they are also the army of the Han Dynasty, there are still some nuances in the costume, although the ordinary people can't recognize it, Guan Yu can see at a glance that the more than ten soldiers of order are from Jingzhou,
Guan Yu had just picked up Liu Bei's family from the plains and returned, when he suddenly saw the Jingzhou army appear in Xuzhou, he was not surprised, and quickly stopped his horse and called a common person to ask clearly, knowing that Liu Xin was sent to treat Tao Qian's illness, so he was relieved.
After the garrison Xiaopei, Liu Bei's words gradually got better, not only should all the money, food and military supplies be supplied by Xuzhou, Tao Qian also allocated another 4,000 military horses to him, plus the original men and horses, and now he also has a little bit of a prince's appearance.
Seeing Guan Yu come back, Liu Bei was very happy, not because Guan Yu received his family, after Liu Bei became the county commander, he has married several wives and concubines, it is said that because of his hard life, most of these wives and concubines were "kept" to death by him, only Gan's was left, Guan Yu said that he picked up his family, in fact, it was just Gan's and two maids, and Liu Bei in order to win over Guan Yu, has always been at the same table with Guan Yu when he eats and sleeps, and he doesn't have much time to touch Gan's
What really made Liu Bei happy was that Guan Yu also brought his old acquaintance Jian Yong, Jian Yong and Liu Bei were in the same year, they had known each other since childhood, they were good at arguing and deliberating, and they were not informal, and when Liu Bei raised troops to participate in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army, he often helped him give advice.
Liu Bei has always kept a low profile in Xiaopei, and tried to keep a distance from Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others, and tried his best to maintain his good image, because he knew that in addition to Guan Yu, a master, the rest could only rely on buying people's hearts, which is why he ignored Liu Xin's warning and insisted that he was a member of the Han family, but, after all, there are too few people around him, although Jian Yong is not resourceful, he is also a rare good assistant,
However, when Liu Bei heard Guan Yu say that he saw the figure of Jingzhou Army in Xuzhou City, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, to be honest, Liu Bei has a natural fear of Liu Xin, although Liu Xin is smiling all day long, but those eyes seem to be able to see through his heart,
Guan Yu saw the sorrow on Liu Bei's face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, I have inquired, those people are just sent by Liu Xin to help Taozhou Mu see a doctor." ”
Liu Bei's mood did not improve, but became heavier, the reason why he resigned Tao Qian's abdication, in addition to showing his noble character in front of everyone, there is a more important point, that is, he has seen that Tao Qian's body can not last for a few years, and Liu Xin seems to be against him, not only exposed his false identity, but also sent someone to see Tao Qian, Liu Bei's city government is very deep, his true thoughts naturally will not be said to Guan Yu, just sighed worriedly, and he pondered a countermeasure,
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, Sun Ce's body has gradually improved, and he has been able to move on the ground, but he still needs to continue to recuperate for a few months to truly recover, and Han Dang has been out of danger of life after the joint treatment of Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, but his body is still very weak, even if the left arm is not crippled, he can't exert too much force in the future.
In the past month, there will be a carriage to pick up Wu Shu every afternoon, and it will take about an hour and a half to come back, but she refuses to tell everyone where she went.
On this day, Wu Shu was picked up by the carriage as usual, but she came directly to the medical school, sitting in the car, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, these days, the mother and son also often meet, but today is different, after obtaining Hua Tuo's consent, she can take Sun Ce to meet Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, tell him everything that happened, and take him to Sun Jian's grave to burn a pillar of incense and kowtow a few times,
The scene that everyone was worried about did not appear, Sun Ce just silently shed two lines of tears, and did not make much of a move, although he was short-tempered, he also knew that the Sun family was no longer what it used to be, but he gritted his teeth and swore a poisonous oath, saying that he must kill Tao Qian in the future and avenge his father,
And on the same day, the state pastoral mansion was also busy, Ling'er and Xiu'er sisters almost at the same time, each gave birth to a baby girl, and added two daughters in a row, Liu Xin was in a good mood, and felt that today was an auspicious day, and immediately ordered the preparation of the Xiangyang Illusion Museum and Dahan Qianzhuang to open at the same time on this day.
In the past month, Yu Ji has eaten well, slept soundly, and there are two pretty maids specially sent by Liu Xin, Yu Ji's old cow eats tender grass and glows with the second spring.
At that time, there were very few popular entertainment programs, and there were not many people running on the streets, not to mention a performance venue dedicated to facing the public, the illusion hall began to hype up ten days before the opening, and there were many merchants from the south to the north of Xiangyang, and it was a city that never sleeped.
After a day of performance, Yu Ji shouted tiredly, but when he saw a table of money, he smiled again, he knew that opening an illusion hall would make money like this, who would want to be a liar,
Liu Xin is also very happy, Zhang Jiao was bought by virtue of a few hands of ineffective medical skills, now Xiangyang has a medical school, Zhang Ji's first batch of disciples have also gone to various places to open their own medical centers, plus the people's lives are like a day, Taiping Dao in Jingzhou naturally there will be no more market, however, the harm of illusion is greater than that of Taiping Dao, if it falls into the hands of people with intentions and is used to demagogue, it is not only a problem of defrauding people of money, but even endangering Liu Xin's rule, in fact, Illusion is just like that, to put it bluntly, it's not worth a penny, and now it's a public performance for everyone to see, everyone naturally knows that those things are fake, and if someone wants to rely on these things to cheat in Xiangyang in the future, or incite the people, where will there be a market,
However, another piece of news made Liu Xin unhappy,
