At this moment, a feathered arrow flew over Liu Ze's head with a blast of wind, and sank deep into the brown bear's chest. The brown bear let out a final wail and fell to the ground with a bang, falling less than a foot in front of Liu Ze's feet.

Liu Ze looked back and saw that it was Guan Yu and his entourage from the guards who had rushed up, and this arrow was sent by Guan Yu. Guan Yu's strength is amazing, he can use the bow of five stones, as soon as he sees that the situation is critical, he immediately draws the bow to shoot it, and at a distance of dozens of steps, even if the brown bear has rough skin and thick flesh, it can't stop this earth-shattering arrow, the heart of the brown bear is immediately pierced, and the arrow feather is deeply submerged into the body of the brown bear. But the brown bear was too strong to be able to penetrate it with such a long arrow. In fact, Guan Yu was replaced by Liu Ze's ordinary two-stone iron tire bow, even if he shot the heart of the brown bear, he would not be fatal with an arrow.

"The little brother's rescue is late, and the eldest brother is frightened!" Guan Yu picked up Liu Ze, his face full of apologies.

Liu Ze patted the snow on his body and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, I was able to hunt such a big bear today, and I gained a lot!" ”

Zhang Fei, who had been hit hard just now, got up at this time, moved his arms and legs, and found that there was no fracture, so he ran over in a few steps, kicked the dead brown bear twice, and scolded: "Damn, dead dog bear, a slap made me full of stars." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary bear, just a brown bear from the far north, you see, it is more than twice as big as an ordinary black bear." ”

Zhang Fei stepped on the body of the brown bear, pulled out his waist knife, and said, "No matter what bear bears he came from, this pair of bear paws is quite big." My sister-in-law is blessed, and she eats bear's paws during confinement to make up for her body. As he spoke, Zhang Fei raised his knife and slashed down on the bear's left palm.

"Third brother, slow down!" Liu Ze stopped him and said: "This take the bear's paw is very particular, before the bear hibernates, it will trample on the bees and ants with its forepaw, prepare the food for the winter, when hibernating, use the left palm against its valley road, and keep licking and sucking the right palm when hungry." Therefore, the left palm is fishy and inedible. The right palm is soaked with saliva essence day and night, and it is naturally fat and thick. Therefore, this bear's paw is generally abandoned to the left and the right. ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I used to kill a black bear and cut off the bear's paw, and I always stewed it in a mess, and I dare to eat the bear's paw and pay so much attention to it." No wonder I used to feel fishy when I ate it. I thought bear's paw was the smell. Hahaha! ”

Everyone laughed. Zhang Fei raised his knife and slashed off the brown bear's right palm, and threw it bloodily to the guards and his entourage. Tell them to keep it for a good life, and give it to the cook of the Taishou Mansion when they return.

Liu Ze ordered someone to kill the bear for gall. Bear bile is a good thing, it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the liver and eyes, killing insects and stopping bleeding.

It was getting late, and Liu Ze ordered his guards to camp on the spot. At night, a bonfire was lit outside the tent, eating roast bear meat, drinking fine wine, and being happy.

There are many crises when hunting bears during the day, Liu Ze is a little afraid when he thinks about it, if the brown bear slaps a strong palm, if it is not for Guan Yu to arrive in time and pierce the heart with an arrow, the consequences are really unimaginable. But Zhang Fei didn't care, munching on the bear meat that was more luscious and plump than beef, and happily drinking the wine he won from today's bet, without paying attention to the dangers in the daytime.

Liu Ze seems to have been infected by his heartless mood, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls, how long has this kind of boldness and happiness not passed? Liu Ze really can't remember when the three of them drank together, they have been busy fighting on the battlefield all these years, busy with government affairs, and busy with a bunch of miscellaneous things, it is really a long, long time since they have been so comfortable.

Liu Ze handed Guan Yu a bowl full of wine and said, "Second brother, come, tonight we will forget about a mundane thing and have a drunken rest!" ”

"Good!" Guan Yu took the wine bowl and drank it all, and under the reflection of the bonfire, Guan Yu's face became more and more red.

"Cheers, how can I be missing!" Zhang Fei came over with a wine jar to touch them.

Liu Ze smiled, held the wine bowl and said: "The sky is proof, no matter how the world changes, how the wind and clouds change, the friendship between our brothers will never change!" Come on, do it! ”

"Forever!"

The three brothers drank until the middle of the night, and even Guan Yu, who was usually not drunk, was in a trance, and Zhang Fei was already lying in the tent and snoring like thunder.

Although Liu Ze was drunk, his mind was particularly sober, looking at the cold night sky and starry stars, a qiē of the previous life and the next life rolled in, and he fought for more than ten years in the late Han Dynasty, from a poor and two white hands to a prince, marrying a wife and having children, and his career was beginning to be completed. The warm home in the previous life has been weakened, although there is still a little attachment and reluctance, but Liu Ze knows that in his lifetime, it is already an unattainable dream to return to the next life. And at this moment, his shoulders are carrying more responsibilities, his wife and children, his brothers, his subordinates, his people, this qiē cannot let him go.

There is a dawn in the east, and it will be a new tomorrow! It will be tomorrow across the mountains, and the world is vast!

Liu Ze walked out of the tent, breathed in the clear air, and looked at the red sun that was about to erupt in the east. He understands that the road will be extremely difficult, but he has already taken the first step, and there is absolutely no reason to stop! Thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of difficulties and dangers, he will never give up!

While eating breakfast, Pan Feng unexpectedly appeared. His face was full of irrepressible excitement, and he shouted from afar: "Lord! Lord! Madame is born! Madame is born! Please go home quickly! ”

"Really?" Liu Zezhi jumped up and threw away the barbecue in his hand, didn't he say that there were still a few days left in the due date, and he was born so soon.

"Naturally, it's true, my subordinates don't dare to deceive the lord!" Pan Feng rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, out of breath, although it was cold, his forehead was still full of beads of sweat.

Zhang Fei was even more excited, and pulled Pan Feng and said, "Come on, did my sister-in-law give birth to a boy or a girl?" ”

"It's a little boy!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, and the laughter startled a pair of sparrows foraging in the snow to flutter their wings and fly. "Great! That's great! Hey, big brother, wait for me, I'm going back to see my little nephew too. ”

Liu Ze didn't care about them at all, he had already stepped onto the Jade Lion of the Night and flew out, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a small white dot left in his blank eyes.

Back in Taishou Mansion, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Jia Xu, Jian Yong, Zhang Ji and others were there, and when Jian Yong saw Liu Ze coming back, he congratulated him: "Congratulations to the lord!" Congratulations to my lord! Happy to have a noble son! Cai Yong and the others all greeted with a smile.

Liu Ze said a few words to them, took three steps and two steps, and ran to the back hall.

Cai Yan leaned weakly on the couch, her face pale, but her eyes shone with joy.

Liu Ze hurriedly came to the couch, held Cai Yan's weak hand tightly, looked at her weak and exhausted appearance, couldn't help but feel heartache, and choked up: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work." ”

Cai Yan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Husband, Yan'er has never been so happy as today, thank God for allowing me to give birth to an heir for my husband, and I am willing to do it after the Liu family." ”

"Where's the kid?" Liu Ze was also anxious to see the newborn child.

The midwife brought the baby over, Liu Ze took the swaddling baby, the baby in the swaddling clothes was white and fat, the birth was not half a day, the eyes were already open, and the big black eyes were spinning. Liu Ze sat beside Cai Yan with the baby in his arms.

"Yan'er, how much does this kid look like you?"

Cai Yan's eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and he smiled softly: "Last night, the concubine dreamed of swallowing Zi Weixing and then gave birth to this son, so give him a name." ”

Cai Yong also entered the inner room at this time, and exclaimed when he heard the words: "Yan'er dreams of swallowing Ziwei, this is a strange omen." There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God, Ziwei Star is the star of Doushu, and the person who lives the main star Ziwei is the face of the emperor, and this son will be rich and noble in the future. ”

Liu Ze didn't think so, there are more people who have children in dreams and moons, is it possible that they all look like emperors? However, Liu Ze knew that Cai Yong was proficient in the study of astrology, so he couldn't refute it, and said, "It's better for the father-in-law to name the child." ”

Cai Yong didn't shirk it, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Since Yan'er dreamed of swallowing Ziwei and got this son, the three micro, the beginning of the three positives, everything is micro, how about naming Liu Wei?" ”

"The gentleman is cautious in his words and deeds, the sage knows the subtleties, and the father-in-law has achieved a good name." Liu Ze nodded yes and praised it.

Cai Yong is also quite satisfied, Weiyan Xiaoyi is exactly what Confucianism pursues, and it is also in line with Confucianism to give his grandson this name. Then Cai Yong said: "As for Yan'er's dream of swallowing Ziwei, don't spread it, for fear of killing." "Although the Han family is declining, people with the appearance of the emperor in their fate are still not allowed to publicize.

Winter turned to spring, and just after Xiao Liu Wei's full moon celebration, there was amazing news from Yecheng.

After the Jieqiao strike, Yuan Shao has been recruiting troops and horses, stockpiling grain and grass, and preparing to start another war with Gongsun Zhan. After the second son Yuan Xi married Zhen Mi, the two Yuan Zhen families married, and the Zhen family really deserved to be the richest man in Hebei, and he made a big move, and the first time he funded the Yuan family was 100 million yuan. With strong financial support, Yuan Shao is even more powerful. After the winter break, Yuan Shaobing was well fed and prepared to fight Gongsun Zan again.

Yuan Shao's decision to send troops to Youzhou was rarely unanimously approved by all the generals and strategists, after all, Gongsun Zan was Yuan Shao's number one strong enemy in Hebei, and if he was not cut off, it would directly threaten Yuan Shao's hegemony.

However, the second son, Yuan Xi, put forward a different opinion. "Father Mingjian, although Gongsun Chan is our number one strong enemy, but Liu Ze in the plain is our henchman, according to the child's opinion, it is better to attack Liu Ze first, cut off Gongsun Zhan's wings, and then attack Gongsun Chan is not too late."
