Liu Biao was instigated by Mrs. Cai, and it was inevitable that Liu Bei would have some mustard in his heart, but on the surface, it did not affect Liu Biao's correspondence with Liu Bei. The next day, the two got together again to drink, and Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei's horse was extremely majestic, so he asked him where he got it. Liu Bei replied that it was Zhang Wu's horse, and Liu Biao praised it. Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao liked it, so he gave this horse to Liu Biao. Liu Biao was overjoyed and rode back to the city.

Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao had changed horses, so he asked Liu Biao: "Where did the lord's horse come from?" ”

Liu Biao said happily: "This Xuande is also sent!" How about the different degrees? Is it a good horse? ”

Kuai Yue looked at it for a while and said: "Brother Kuai Liang, the best horse." Although Yue is not as proficient as his brother, he also knows a little bit about it. This horse has a tear trough under his eyes, and white spots on his forehead, named Lu, and riding is a hindrance to the master. Zhang Wu died because of this horse. The lord is not allowed to take advantage of it. ”

Liu Biao was very displeased when he heard what Kuai Yue said, and remembered Mrs. Cai's words last night, and his heart was deeper for Liu Bei. But after thinking about it, although this horse was given by Liu Bei, Lu Zaixian, who he praised, and Liu Bei was also riding, it was not necessarily that Liu Bei harbored evil intentions, and it was not necessary that Liu Bei did not know the origin of this horse.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao had a plan to test Liu Bei, so he invited Liu Bei to a banquet the next day, and said during the banquet: "Yesterday, the virtuous brother gave me a good horse, and I am deeply grateful for my brother." But when he returned to the house and thought about it, the virtuous brother fought from time to time, and it was the time to use horses. On the contrary, it is for my brother to spend all day in the house, even if there is a good horse, it is useless, and it should be returned. ”

Liu Bei did not doubt him, and got up to thank Liu Biao. Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei had no different color, and his doubts in his heart were slightly reduced, and he said to Liu Bei: "The virtuous brother has lived in the city for a long time, and I am afraid that the martial arts will be wasted." Xiangyang belongs to Xinye County, which has a lot of money and grain, and the virtuous brother can lead the military horses of the headquarters to train in Xinyetunza? ”

Liu Bei was trying to borrow a piece of land to train his troops, so he gladly accepted the order. The next day, he bid farewell to Liu Biao and led the army and horses of the headquarters to Xinye. Liu Biao saw that Liu Bei was walking so happily, and the horse he rode out of the city was Lu, and his doubts were gone, and he secretly sighed that Liu Bei should not be blamed for having different intentions.

Lu Bei, who was riding, led the soldiers out of the city gate, and saw a person outside the city to see him off, and when he saw Liu Bei, he saluted and said: "The horse ridden by the public office cannot be ridden!" ”

Everyone sees it as a Jingzhou staff member of Iraq, a word machine, and a native of Shanyang. When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly dismounted and asked why.

Yi said: "Yesterday, I heard that Kuai Yidu said to Liu Jingzhou: This horse is called Lu, and if you take it, it will be a hindrance to the master, so it will be returned to the public." How can Uncle Huang reride? ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I deeply feel the love of Mr. Bei. It's just that mortals have a life and a death, how can horses interfere? ”

Yi admired Liu Bei's courage and often corresponded with Liu Bei since then. Liu Bei arrived in Xinye, the whole army and the people, the army and the people were happy, and the politics were new. The princes of the world rested for a time and suspended the war.

However, it was said that Nan Ye killed Meng Huo and others, obtained 30,000 sets of Ugo rattan armor and rattan shields, and the class teacher returned to Zhurong Cave. Dong Chu and Mrs. Huaxiang went out to greet together, and the people in the cave sang and danced, clapping their hands to celebrate. The chiefs of the surrounding caves offered congratulatory gifts, expressing their willingness to be headed by Dong Chuan, and even more honored Dong Zheng as the king of Nanzhong in the letter.

Now Dong Zhen and his wife are more and more pleasing to Nan Ye, the future son-in-law, and after taking Nan Ye to the cave and sitting down, Dong Zhen smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew has worked hard all the way. If it weren't for the help of the virtuous nephew this time, I wish Rongdong to be in danger! On behalf of the people in the cave, I have thanked my nephew. Then he got up and gave his hand.

Nan Ye hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Dong Dong must not torture the little nephew. We have known each other for many years, but they are old friends, how can I not help if there is trouble in the cave? It's just that he failed to subdue Meng Shu and establish full merit, and asked the cave master not to blame. ”

Dong Zhen and his wife knew in their hearts that Nan Ye was mostly here for their daughter Hua Bei, but it was not easy to announce it, so they put their friendship on Dong Zhen's head. The couple looked at each other and smiled, and Mrs. Huaxiang said: "I heard that the young dart head captured Meng Shu seven times, and he was benevolent and righteous. It was that Meng who didn't know how to be lifted, died without repentance, and deserved it in a different place. All the caves in Nanzhong praise the benevolence and righteousness of the young dart, and my husband and wife are especially not as good as Xie Xie, how can they blame? ”

The crowd gossiped for a while, and the banquet was set up. Dong Zhen and his wife dispersed Dong Ding, leaving only Nan Ye and his party to entertain them, and Hua Bei and a pair of children were brought to accompany them.

When the wine was half-drunk, Mrs. Huaxiang glanced at her daughter who was pouring wine for Nan Ye with a red face and said with a smile: "In the past, when Shao Darttou and Meng won the competition, he had already asked to marry the little girl, and my husband and wife had already agreed, but because of the urgency of the war, the marriage was not completed." Now that the young dart head has returned victorious, why not choose a good day and an auspicious day as soon as possible, and have a double happiness? ”

When Hua Bei heard her mother mention her family affairs, her face turned red with shame, and her hand that poured wine shook and spilled all the wine on Nan Ye. Seeing this, Hua Bei took out her personal handkerchief in a panic and wiped it for Nan Ye, and after wiping it twice, she felt that her actions were too intimate, just like a little daughter-in-law who served her husband, and her face turned even redder with shame.

Nan Ye's proposal to Mrs. Huaxiang had long been expected, and he also knew that this lady was more straightforward than the cave master Dong Zhen in matters between men and women, and Mrs. Huaxiang's family affairs were also decided by Mrs. Huaxiang. However, there is one more thing he has not confessed, and he does not dare to agree immediately.

Nan Ye pinched Hua Bei's little hand to wipe her clothes, shook her head with a smile, and motioned for her not to wipe it anymore. Then Nan Ye got up and saluted Dong Shen and Hua Xiang: "Cave Master, Madam, I really like Hua Bei and am willing to marry her." But there is still one thing that has not been clarified, so I dare not agree. ”

Dong Wei frowned when he heard this, and guessed: "Could it be that the virtuous nephew refers to the fact that there are already wives and concubines in the family?" ”

Mrs. Huaxiang also said anxiously: "We already know about this matter. Don't worry, my Nanzhong woman only values affection, not reputation, as long as you wait for the two to be happy, you can treat the little girl well in the future, and it doesn't hurt if Hua Bei is a concubine. ”

The most nervous among the crowd was Hua Bei, hearing that Nan Ye didn't allow it, her big eyes suddenly turned to Nan Ye in a fog. Although he didn't say a word, he seemed to be questioning Nan Ye because Weishenme did not agree to this marriage.

Nan Ye glanced at Hua Bei apologetically, what he wanted to say was really not about his wife and concubine, so he said: "What I said is not referring to the wife and concubine in the family, but my identity and origin." To tell you the truth, I am not surnamed Wang, nor am I called Wang Hua. Neither of them had the surname of the king. After that, Nan Ye pointed to the generals under his command with his hand.

"What are you going to say?!" Dong and his wife, plus Hua Bei, all stood up in shock. Especially Hua Bei was the most shocked, she had been in correspondence with Nan Ye for several years, but she didn't even know that Nan Ye was using a pseudonym, how could she be embarrassed?

"Impossible! That's impossible! If Brother Wang is not the young dart head of Zhenyuan Darthead, why can Brother Wang receive every letter I send to Brother Wang? After the initial shock, Hua Bei suddenly reacted and asked.

Nan Ye knew that telling the truth would definitely stimulate Dong Zhen's family a lot, but this matter couldn't wait until after the marriage. So he smiled bitterly: "I asked Hua Bei to send letters that Wang Yue received it. The elder who came with me a few years ago was indeed the head of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, but I was not his son. ”
