Chapter 168: Huang Zhong

Mrs. Huang saw Huang Zhong drinking the stuffy wine cup by cup, she was worried, and came over to persuade: "Master, you should have a little less!" Huang Zhong, who was not happy in his heart, said angrily: "Women, what do you care about so much?" Madame Huang couldn't, sighed, and left the small hall.

Huang Zhong drained the wine in the cup, sighed, and poured himself another full glass.

A moment later, Mrs. Huang came back again, and Huang Zhong was annoyed and slammed the quilt on the table, "What are you doing?" ”

Mrs. Huang hurriedly said, "There are guests asking to see!" ”

"Nope!"

"The other party said that it was the master's distant nephew, named Huang Sheng."

The wine glass that Huang Zhong brought to his lips stopped, and said with some surprise: "Huang Sheng? How did he get here? Glancing at his wife, "Bring him in." Madame Huang answered, ran down, and after a while, she walked into the courtyard with a middle-aged Confucian student in his forties.

Huang Zhong stood at the door of the small hall and glanced at the man, feeling vaguely like he was back then.

When the man saw Huang Zhong, he was overjoyed, and he hurried up and respectfully bowed: "Little nephew Huang Sheng to see uncle!" Huang Zhong smiled and nodded: "Okay!" Good! He stepped forward, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad!" Calm temperament, a talent! I heard that you went out to run a business, how is the business now? ”

Huang Sheng sighed, shook his two empty sleeves, and laughed at himself: "In the business field, the little nephew is not their opponent, and now he is already a breeze with two sleeves!" ”

Huang Zhong said angrily: "It's right to lose!" The most business is not a good thing! ”

Huang Sheng smiled: "Uncle said yes. ”

Mrs. Huang came over and said, "Your uncle and nephew go in and talk, what is the pestle doing outside here?" ”

Huang Zhong smiled: "Yes, yes, yes! Come on, come on! As he spoke, he grabbed Huang Sheng's arm and entered the small hall. The two sides were seated as the guest of honor. Mrs. Huang smiled: "You uncle and nephew talk, I'll go prepare wine and food." "Then it went down.

Huang Zhong said: "You came this time, do you want to find something to do with me?" No problem, I can arrange it right away! ”

Huang Sheng hugged his fists and said: "Uncle, I can't hide it, the little nephew is now working under the account of the great general Lu Bu." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got up, and shouted angrily: "Since you have succumbed to serve the thief, what are you doing here?" Huang Sheng hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed: "Uncle is angry, please listen to your nephew." Huang Zhong snorted. Huang Sheng said: "The little nephew naturally knows his uncle's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, but now in this world, the Han Dynasty has long existed in name only, and the princes are all roads in the Central Plains, who is for the Han Dynasty?" Even if it is the so-called imperial uncle Liu Bei, is he for the Han Dynasty? Uncle's insight is far above that of the little nephew, and he should be able to see the true face of Liu Bei's hypocrisy! In the name of righteousness, seeking personal gain, in the name of righteousness, openly betraying his lord, what kind of good person is such a person? ”

Huang Zhong was furious, "Shut up! ”

Huang Sheng didn't seem to be afraid of Huang Zhong anymore, and said with his neck held high: "What is great benevolence and righteousness?" Only by ending this troubled world and returning the people to a stable life can it be called great benevolence and righteousness! Regardless of whether Liu Bei is loyal to the Han Dynasty or not, even if he is really loyal, is it really right to do this for the sake of a declining dynasty and ignore the lives of the people? ”

Huang Zhong's heart was shocked, and he was at a loss.

Huang Sheng continued: "General Lu Bu may be a slave with three surnames in the eyes of many people! But what about Liu Bei, how many lords has he followed? He took out a letter from his arms, came to Huang Zhong, and presented it with both hands, "Uncle, this is a handwritten letter that the general ordered me to hand over to my uncle!" No matter how annoyed Lu Bu is in his heart, please read it by all means! ”

Huang Zhong glanced at Huang Sheng, only saw a sincere expression, looked at the letter in his hand again, hesitated, and reached out to take it.

Huang Sheng said: "Maybe my uncle doesn't believe it, but the little nephew really thinks that the general is the hero and hope who can bring peace to the world!" Two points can be proved, one is that the general implements all kinds of benevolent governance internally, even when the Han Dynasty is strong, it is just so, and the other is to resist external humiliation, in the eyes of all the princes, the Hu cavalry is an important force that can be borrowed, but the general does not see it that way, in an extremely dangerous time, the general still fights with the Hu people, and does his best to resist the Hu people and protect the people, this is a well-known thing in the world, I believe my uncle is also very clear! The kid wants to ask: Can Liu Bei, who took away his brother's foundation, do it? Who can do it among the princes of the world? ”

Huang Zhong's heart was shocked.

Huang Sheng hugged his fists and said: "The kid has already said what he should say, and it is up to the uncle to decide how to choose." These days, the little nephew will live at the Yuelai Inn in the city. If the uncle wants to take the little nephew to invite credit, even if he comes, the little nephew will never dare to resist, and he will not run away! He bowed to Huang Zhong and left.

Huang Zhong stood there in a daze.

Mrs. Huang came in with wine and food, glanced back, and asked puzzledly, "Why did Huang Sheng leave?" ”

Huang Zhong sat down after returning to the bookcase, opened the handwritten letter written by Zhang Lang to him, and read it carefully. Seeing this, Mrs. Huang didn't dare to disturb and quietly retreated.

After reading the letter, Huang Zhong sighed, looking in a dilemma.

The next morning, Huang Zhong came to the hall of the Assassin's Mansion to attend the regular meeting. The civil and military classes arrived, and Liu Bei, who was sitting at the top, began to speak. He first arranged the training and defense of the army, and Wei Yan was entrusted with important tasks, but Huang Zhong was only sent to train recruits. Huang Zhong was depressed. Liu Bei arranged the affairs of the army and began to arrange civil affairs, one of which was taxation, which made Huang Zhong frown, and couldn't help but think of what Huang Sheng said last night, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

After the Chamber of Commerce, Huang Zhong returned home absent-mindedly. Mrs. Huang greeted him, and when she saw that his face was unhappy, she didn't dare to speak.

Huang Zhong walked to the lobby and threw his helmet heavily to the ground. Mrs. Huang was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, master?" Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Fake benevolence and false righteousness!" "Mrs. Huang didn't know what to do. Huang Zhong turned around suddenly, "I'm going out for a while." With that, he ran out of the hall. However, this scene was seen by a servant passing by, and he thought it was strange, so he quietly followed.

Huang Zhong rode a horse to the Yuelai Inn. The boss knew Huang Zhong, and hurriedly came out to hold the horse in person, and asked respectfully: "The old general is coming, I don't know what you are doing?" Huang Zhong glanced up at the wooden building of the inn in front of him and asked, "Is there a guest named Huang Sheng living in here?" The boss practiced the name, "It seems that there is, I'll check it out." Then he handed the reins to Xiao Er on the side, ran into the lobby by himself, and rummaged through the registration book on the counter. At this time, the servant of Huang Zhong's family was hiding in the alley not far away.
