Liu Bei walked out of the pavilion with some restlessness, and stood outside for a while before slowly coming back to his senses. He thought about it carefully www.biquge.info and felt that Guo Tu suddenly appeared here, and it was self-evident that the information they said was too sensational, and it was inevitable that there would be falsehoods, and he could not draw any conclusions until it was verified. However, even if this is true, it can only show that Liu Yuanqi's identity is in doubt, but it cannot mean that his grandfather Liu Xiong's death must be related to Liu Yuanqi, after all, his grandfather died of illness, not killed by Liu Yuanqi. The fire in the county temple may be one of the reasons for Liu Xiong's illness, but it is not the direct cause, Liu Yuanqi may have deliberately set fire in order to cover up his tracks, but he did not kill anyone, otherwise he should have killed Liu Xiong directly.

What's more, Liu Yuanqi has always been very good to him, even if he had any mistakes at the beginning, he can be regarded as making up for it now.

Liu Bei jumped on the horse and went home directly, riding on horseback, he quickly calmed down, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke a sneer. The Guo family is a follower of the Yuan family, but Guo Xun and Guo Tu are not exactly the same thing. Guo Xun is attached to Yuan Shu, but Guo Tu is Yuan Shao's person, they all came to win me over, so should I choose Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao's strength is stronger, but he has no friendship with me, although Yuan Shu is weaker now, but once he passes on to Yuan Kui, then Yuan Kui's current strength will be inherited by Yuan Shu, and more importantly, Yuan Kui's wife Ma Lun is Lu Zhi's sister, I have a relationship with Yuan Shu, it is easy to approach, and Yuan Shu and Liu Xiu are also allies, and there will be no advertisements // less will not cause Liu Xiu's disgust.

Liu Bei was still dozens of steps away from home, and he saw two horses tied under the big mulberry tree, and there were a few people dressed as entourage, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, what kind of good son is today, why did a few groups of people come at once, just now it was a person from the Yuan family, and now who is it?

"Xuande! Xuande! ”

Liu Bei looked up and couldn't help but smile. Gently urged the war horse, trotted all the way to the tree, also tied the war horse to the tree, and then strode over. Zhang Fei greeted him with a handful of dried mulberries in his hand. While eating, he smiled and said: "Xuande, this mulberry tree in your house is really a treasure, such a delicious mulberry, even in a famine year, I can't go hungry." ”

"Even if you encounter a famine year, you can't starve your Zhang Dudu's stomach." Liu Bei made a joke and looked behind Zhang Fei. was taken aback: "Ziyan, why are you here too?" ”

Lu Shen walked over with a smile and shook the mulberry in his hand: "Come and taste your mulberry." I used to hear Senior Brother Deran say how delicious your mulberries are, I have been thinking about it for a few years, and today I finally tasted it, and it was really sweet. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Bei pulled one into the house with one hand, "What you eat is not the same thing as what he eats." We climbed the trees to eat the freshest food. The sweetest one, if you don't eat it, your hands will turn black, and you won't come down. The taste of this dried mulberry is much worse. ”

"Really?" Lu Shen blinked exaggeratedly: "Then I have a chance to taste the mulberries on this tree." ”

"Okay. Come on next year. Liu Bei laid down two new seats in the hall, invited Lu Shen and Zhang Fei to take their seats, and said while arranging the drinks: "You have luck, this is the hare I just hunted yesterday, and I will let my mother cook it immediately, please drink the hare soup." Ziyan, did De Ran tell you that the hare soup made by my mother is also a must. ”

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands happily: "I've heard of it, I've heard of it." The gentleman said that he would rather go back and be beaten up than come to your house and drink hare soup. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Bei laughed, "That's because he is too greedy, he has to eat more than half of it every time, my uncle ......" He thought Liu Yuanqi. couldn't help but hesitate for a while, but soon returned to normal: "Said that he was too greedy, so that our mother and son had no meat to eat, so I wanted to beat him, and then let him send more than a dozen catties of good beef." Actually, I did it on purpose, how much meat is a rabbit? In exchange for beef, it's still worth it. But in this way, my eldest brother will inevitably be beaten by his mother again. ”

Zhang Fei and Lu Shen glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, they talked and laughed for a while, and Liu Bei asked about it. Zhang Fei explained, the yellow scarf has been calmed down, there will be no war in the near future, Liu Xiu saw that he hadn't gone home for two years, so he gave him half a year off, let him go home and stay with his parents for a while, and by the way, see if there are any suitable women, they are all young, and it is time to start a family. There is another thing, that is, Liu Xiu asked them to bring some gifts to Lu Zhi and him.

After Liu Bei entered the door, he had already seen the two wooden boxes placed in the corner of the hall, and at first thought that they were gifts from Zhang Fei and them, but now that he heard that it was given by Liu Xiu, he quickly got up and opened the box. As soon as the box was opened, Liu Bei was startled: "So many? ”

Zhang Fei and Lu Shen didn't know what was inside, so they walked over and took a look, and saw a box full of clothes, and the top was a high-grade Shu brocade, and there were ten gold cakes pressed on top of the Shu brocade. There are a lot of small boxes in the other box, Liu Bei opened the small boxes one by one, there are Jingmei jewelry, as well as various daily necessities, all of which are very jingmei, not to mention anything else, the four white porcelain wine glasses as thin as cicada wings are very rare, although I dare not say that it is hard to find, but in Zhuo County, it can be said that there is no price, and you can't buy it if you want to.

A rough estimate showed that there were at least fifty gold in these two inconspicuous-looking chests.

"That's too much." Liu Bei said a little crampedly: "Although the eldest brother is General Wei, I know that he has a lot of expenses and does not have a lot of money, so how can I afford so many gifts." ”

Huang Shi heard their exclamations, and also rushed over to take a look, although she couldn't estimate the exact value, but when she looked at the beauty of those gifts, she also knew that these things were worth a lot, and she was a little frightened and overwhelmed.

"It's not for you." Zhang Fei was the first to come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "This is given to your mother by the eldest brother, he said that he was ignorant back then, and he ate a lot of auntie's mulberry and rabbit meat, and now he wants to compensate her a little." He glanced at the box and said, "By the way, these pieces of jewelry seem to have been selected by the eldest princess herself, and I have seen two pairs, one is here, and the other is for the sister-in-law of the Mao family." ”

The Huang family was even more flattered, the eldest princess picked a gift for them, even if it was just the simplest hairpin, it was an incomparable honor, not to mention that these jewelry were so beautiful.

Liu Bei was very moved, and no longer shirked, and slowly closed the box: "Mother, you put the box away, since it is the eldest brother's heart, we are disrespectful." ”

Huang wiped his tears happily and took the box to the most hidden place in the room and hid it. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and the others re-seated and told Guo Xun and Guo Tu about the matter of Guo Xun and Guo Tu coming to investigate Liu Yuanqi just now. When Zhang Fei and the others heard this, their brows furrowed.

Obviously, this is the Yuan family's response to my eldest brother, Yi Bei is very worried and said: "We must send the news to the eldest brother as soon as possible, lest he have no defense at all." ”

Lu Shen thought for a while: "Otherwise, after you spend the New Year at home, rush to Luoyang immediately." ”

Liu Bei hesitated, he also asked the Empress Dowager for half a year's leave this time, and he was originally going to leave until the end of February.

"You'd better leave early." Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Zhang Fei laughed: "It's not because of this matter, if it's just this matter, I'll go back early." ”

"What else?" Liu Bei was surprised. He knew Zhang Fei's loyalty to Liu Xiu, but he really regarded Liu Xiu as a gentleman, although they were only three years apart. If there is no special reason, Zhang Fei will definitely rush to Luoyang by himself.

"After the Yellow Turban is pacified this time, one of the hussar generals and the chariot cavalry general must be promoted to general, they are no longer the kind of idle officials, and the general needs to recruit a large number of officials to open the palace. Senior brother wants to recommend you to the General's Mansion. Lu Shen smiled: "In addition, there is another opportunity, but Senior Brother said that you may not be very willing." ”

Liu Bei heard that he could enter the General's Mansion, although he was happy, he was still a little hesitant, whether it was Dong Zhong or Song Feng, in fact, they were not capable ministers, they could be generals, just because they had the identity of their relatives, the Son of Heaven was in power, and what was the use of their relatives. "What's the other chance?"

"If the Son of Heaven wants to expand the strength of the Northern Army, he may add a few more captains. However, Senior Brother is worried that you don't like martial arts, so this choice is in second place. Lu Shen looked at Liu Bei's face, and saw that his eyes lit up at first, and then he was a little indifferent, thinking that Liu Xiu's worries had caught Liu Bei's mind, and then said: "We came to Zhuo County this time to see if there are any suitable recommended talents. ”

Liu Bei nodded understandingly, if the Son of Heaven wants to expand the Northern Army, of course, he wants to squeeze out the power of the Yuan family, and the few places that have been added must be selected from the people he trusts. The Son of Heaven himself knows a limited amount, and this is a martial profession, and the best way is naturally recommended by Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo, two right-hand men. Liu Xiu was worried that he didn't like martial arts, which was of course also a reason, but Liu Bei didn't just like martial arts in his heart, but didn't like to get too close to the Son of Heaven.

He has been working as an errand in the Empress Dowager's Yongle Palace, and he already has too many imprints of the Son of Heaven, if he listens to the arrangement of the Son of Heaven to compete with the Yuan family, he will naturally go further and further away from the Yuan family in the end.

I don't know whose house it is?

Those who represent the Han are on the way.

Liu Bei had heard these two proverbs when he was in Luoyang, and he doubted that the Son of Heaven would have much chance to survive in the competition with the Yuan family. However, if he refuses now, it seems that he wants to break with Liu Xiu and throw himself into the arms of the Yuan family, and it is not certain whether the Yuan family will accept him, and it seems inappropriate to rashly refuse Liu Xiu's kindness.

"Okay, after the New Year, I'll go to Luoyang and tell my eldest brother about it." Liu Bei thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Yide, you can choose a good woman at home with peace of mind, otherwise, no one will inherit your big property." ”

Zhang Fei shrugged: "The industry of fart, is it possible that I, the general of Wei, will not have as good a future as a butcher in the future?" ”

Liu Bei's heart moved, and he couldn't help laughing.
