In the old house of the Cheng family, the old owner Cheng Quan was half-squatting on the ground as usual, looking at the vegetable garden opened by his own hands.

Although even a year of farming here may not be worth half a day's income in the business field, but his heart is much more satisfied than at the beginning.

He turned to look at the young man brought by Li Ji, this was the first time the two had met.

"Xuande, this person is really weird. When I was younger, I didn't like this chores in the fields, but now even just planting some wild vegetables can make me happier than making money. You are a disciple of Lu Gong, and you know the truth in this." The old man laughed.

Liu Bei, who was standing under the eaves with his sleeves, picked the corners of his mouth, "Cang Liao knows the etiquette enough, and Cheng Gong can have fun farming, but it is just because the Cheng family is rich and wealthy, and there is no need for food and clothing." If it is a farmer in the field, who is in a state of panic for three meals a day, and cannot stop for a moment, and is still insufficient, how can he have the mind to think about other things?"

"Bei has always believed that there are Yan Hui in the world, but Shi Ce is like a sea, how many people are like returning?"

Cheng Quan smiled when he heard this, "Xuande is worthy of being a disciple of Duke Lu, his words are burning and sharp."

He stood up and hammered his numb legs, "It's just that there are many people in this world who deceive the world and steal fame, and those who often talk about the common people, often secretly do things that are male thieves and female prostitutes for the benefit of their own families."

"I've come this way, and I don't dare to say that I've seen a lot, but I have some experience in this matter. How many people talk about the sufferings of the people everywhere when they are down, and how many people turn around and start to exploit the poor people in their mouths in the past after they become famous, and even want to knock out the bones and suck the marrow."

"Cheng Gong's words are also reasonable. It's just that the world has a thousand faces, and what these people say when they are down may not be true words. It's just that after becoming prominent, all the things you wanted in the past are at your fingertips, whether it is in the officialdom or in the shopping mall, it is always easier to be a wicked person than to be a good person."

The old man looked at Liu Bei with a smile, "It seems that Xuande has also realized this."

His eyes grew cold, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just that how do I know that Xuande is not such a person?"

"If Bei said that he was not such a person, Cheng Gong would definitely not believe it." Liu Bei smiled, "You might as well watch it."

"Even though Cheng Gong has seen countless people go from good to evil, I still hope that Gong believes that there will be people in this world who will not change their original intentions."

Cheng Quan smiled when he heard this.

When he saw Liu Bei, he had already guessed the purpose of his coming here.

If you just want to join forces, you just need to go to see Cheng Dian, you don't need to come to see him, an old guy.

There are naturally two kinds of strange goods.

One is nothing more than to make some money, if the person who invests in it succeeds in the future, he will naturally get some returns, although it is not much, but even if the gambling is lost, it will not hinder the life of the family.

Another kind of nature is to put all your net worth and life on it, and you can win big by gambling big.

Liu Bei came to look for him, and what he wanted was naturally the latter.

"What Xuande said is also reasonable." Cheng Dian smiled, "It's just that Xuande knows that he won't become such a person? Over the years, I have bet on countless people, and naturally there are honest people, but most of them died halfway. Most of the people who can do things are people who have the mind to be flexible, but once people are flexible, they are naturally prone to take the wrong path, and I am already so old that I don't want to be a knife in the hands of others anymore."

….

Liu Bei smiled, "There are also diseases, good property, good beauties, good wine, famous horses, good brocade clothes and luxury. It's just that Bei prefers a word."

"The long wife rests to hide the tears, and mourns the hardships of the people's livelihood."

"It's honest." Cheng Quan suddenly smiled, "Xuande, you actually made me, a person who already had nothing to ask for, suddenly feel a little moved."

Liu Bei bent down and shook his head, "Please also ask Cheng Gong to help."

Cheng Quan smiled: "The words have come to this, dare not obey your fate."

————————

In an alley outside a gambling house in Luoyang City, Shi Ah was looking through the cramped eaves at the big sun hanging above his head.

The gambling house was noisy and noisy.

Outside, it is quite quiet, quiet and lonely, and there are few pedestrians.

One

Separated by the wall, it seems that there are two human worlds.

Naturally, most of the people who linger in the gambling house all year round are frustrated.

Some people are frustrated because of gambling, and some people are frustrated because of frustration, but no matter what the cause is, one by one they have sunk into the frequent customers in the gambling house.

If others are like this, what about Tashia?

Now in the market in Luoyang City, who has seen him Shi Ah is not a hero?

"Is it really enough to be a hero in the market for you?"

The scholar standing at the end of the alley asked with a smile, so Shi Ah was thinking about this answer at this time.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved in the ability to change the source, here download huann.change the source, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the scholar who rarely went out of the north of the city, "Is Jia Jun here to be a lobbyist for Liu Bei today?"

Shi Ah smiled, "There are so many heroes in Luoyang City, I don't want you to look for him, but in the end, I chose him."

The person standing at the mouth of the alley is naturally Jia Xu, who rarely goes out.

At this time, Jia Xu was playing with a rather strangely shaped bronze hammer in his hand, "There must always be a conclusion when looking around, and at this time, Liu Bei and I are the most suitable."

He paused, "It's the same for you."

"What you say is not bad, I am here to be a lobbyist this time. Shia, are you interested?"

Shi Ah looked at him for a moment, and there was a hint of a smile on his face that had been stiff all day, "Ah came from a humble background, and he was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by Master Wang when he was a child. It's enough to have today, and I don't dare to ask for more."

"Is that enough?" Jia Xu smiled and leaned against the wall beside him, "Just be a hero in the market like this, mingling in the market all day long, listening to those gamblers and rangers sing praises to you, and let those small officials with the size of sesame mung beans yell at you, and be arrogant?"

"When someone mentions the past many years later, they will also remember that there was a heroic man named Shi Ah back then, who was not bad, but he never had anything to do in his life."

Jia Xu looked sarcastic and said with a smile, "Is this really enough?"

Shi Ah smiled, without words.

The one who taught him swordsmanship was Wang Yue, who had to compete with Tong Yuan even if he was nearly half a hundred years old, and he was never a person who resigned himself to fate.

And what he Shi Ah learned from Wang Yue was naturally not just swordsmanship.

It's just that he has always been a cautious person, although he knows that Jia Xu is wise, since he can choose Liu Bei, then Liu Bei must have something extraordinary, but he will not easily respond.

….

"I know what you're thinking." Jia Xu said with a smile, figuring out people's hearts is what he is good at.

"You have always been cautious and unwilling to take risks. is also relying on his own swordsmanship, and he thinks that there will always be a day when he will come out in the future, so he would rather sit and watch than take risks. Am I right?"

Shi A was silent, obviously being told by Jia Xu.

"It's just Shi Jun, the opportunities are all snatched up. Although you have the ability, if you sit back and wait for death, I am afraid that you will regret it in the future."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "You must know that there are both Wei Qing and Guo Xie as rangers in the world."

Shi Ah was stunned when he heard this.

"In the past, Guo Jiequan was the secretary of state, and he was famous all over the world, but his life and death were just a word from Emperor Wu. Although Shi Jun's swordsmanship is good, how can his reputation be as prosperous as Guo Jie? Shi Jun still has to plan early."

Shi A was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "How did Jia Jun know that this Liu Bei could succeed?"

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, "Liu Xuande is not a very human being, not to mention that with me Jia Wenhe, I can make things happen if I can't do it."

Shi Ah is still a little unsettled.

Although he knew that Jia Xu was resourceful, and Wang Shi also attached great importance to that Liu Bei, he really couldn't make a decision for a while.

As he said to Wang Yue that day, now he is tied to the lives of many other people.

Jia Xu saw his expression, how he didn't know what he was thinking.

"If Shi Jun is interested, then come with me." Jia Xu turned and left.

Shia

After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth, and finally followed.

Jia Xu threw out the bronze hammer in his hand casually and was picked up by Shi A.

"In the future, we will be the same people."

…………

In the wine house in the east of the city, everyone gathered together today.

Duan Cheng and Chen Xu were sitting in the innermost part drinking, although the vintage of the wine was less, but in the end, Li Ping's recipe was used, which was better than the original wine.

In the center of the wine house, Cao Cao was playing against Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was in the chess game.

Behind Yuan Shao stood a somewhat depressed young scholar, looking down at the two of them playing.

On the wooden table on the side, Gongsun Zhan, Han Yue, Fu Xie, and Yuan Shu were gathered together, talking about military affairs there.

A little farther away, Cao Hong and Xu You stood side by side, and the two were calculating how much money they had gained from this Biyong debate.

At this time, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and entered from outside the door.

Everyone gathered here, naturally at the invitation of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's reputation in Luoyang is not bad, and he is in the limelight in Biyong's debate, so his invitation, even Yuan Benchu, who is a model in the world, must be cautious.

"Gentlemen, don't be too late." Liu Bei first confessed.

"Xuande is late, how can he let it go as soon as he confesses, and drink a few more drinks later." Yuan Shao got up and smiled.

If Liu Bei, who had made some names in Luoyang in the name of the young tiger, was only worthy of his Yuan Benchu's wooing, then Liu Bei, who is now carrying the momentum of Biyong's debate, is worthy of his Yuan Shao's friendship.

"What I said at the beginning is that Xuande is both an inviting person and a late arrival, and a few glasses of wine can't be avoided." Cao Cao also laughed.

"It's okay, it's just a drink, I'll drink you all today." Liu Bei smiled.

Liu Bei's eyes swept from the wine house, they were all acquaintances, so the scholar standing behind Yuan Shao was particularly eye-catching.

….

Yuan Shaozi also noticed Liu Bei's expression, and he let the person behind him in front of him, "This is Liu Dan and Liu Jun, who is extremely talented and learned, and he was at my place when Xuande invited him, so I brought him here."

Liu Bei nodded and said with a smile: "Talented people often don't have the ambition to achieve, but they always have to break out of their pockets in time."

He naturally saw at a glance from Liu Dan's wrinkled clothes that this person was now depressed.

Although he had never heard of this person's name, he might have entered Yuan Benchu's eyes, and he must have some real talents.

"Thank you Liu Jun for your compliment." Liu Dan hurriedly thanked him.

"Since you are a guest, you will definitely not get drunk today." Liu Bei patted Liu Dan on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Duan Cheng, who was not far away, pursed his lips when he heard this, "This kid really regards this place as his territory."

"It's not like a senior who lost to someone else." Chen continued, "But you don't lose money, at least you don't have to pay for drinking here."

Duan Cheng smiled, ignored Chen Xu's ridicule, and drank by himself.

In the center of the winehouse, now that the host has arrived, everyone is naturally gathered together.

"Xuande asked me to wait today, thinking that it wasn't just for drinking, right?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"Of course not." Liu Bei smiled, "Now that the wine house has been decided, the wine is not selling badly, so I want to find you to come and be lively."

"Also, I went to Cai Lang to ask for a picture for the wine house, which is the name of the wine house, and I can also ask you to witness it."

Cao Cao smiled, "Xuande's face is not small, you must know that Cai Langzhong's calligraphy and painting are hard to find, and there are many people in Luoyang who want to break the threshold of Cai Langzhong's house, and they can't ask for a copy of Cai Langzhong's authentic handwriting."

"Others are others, and Bei is not an outsider, could it be that Meng De is envious?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"I wonder what name Xuande came up with?" Yuan Shao ignored Cao Cao's gag and asked.

"If you want me to see it, it's better to call it a big expensive." Yuan Shu approached a few people and suddenly spoke.

"It's a good name

, I can't say that Xuande will be able to rise to the top in his career in the future." Gongsun Chan fanned the wind and lit the fire on the side.

Liu Bei glanced at him, and Gongsun Zhan immediately stopped speaking and hid behind Yuan Shu.

The last time the white horse was exchanged for a dark horse, he did win a lot of money from Yuan Shu, but it was all in the pocket of Gongsun Zhan, and he didn't give it to Liu Bei at all.

Therefore, Gongsun Bogui, who is not afraid of the ground today, is also a little weak when he sees Liu Bei.

"I don't think Dagui's name is good, it's a little cheesy. The smell of the market is too strong. Xuande has the White Horse chapter in front of him, so he still has to come up with a better name." Xu You and Cao Hong also stepped forward.

Liu Bei nodded approvingly, but before he could speak, Xu You continued: "I think it's better to call Dafu than Dagui. If Xuande had given this name, he would have been able to develop in the future, and the house would be full of gold and silver."

"Yes, yes. That's a good name." Cao Hong, who is like-minded with Xu You, is full of praise.

Liu Bei tugged at the corners of his mouth, and was about to say a few words, but Duan Cheng, who didn't want to be not far away, suddenly spoke, "I don't think it's better to be rich and expensive, so don't the two account for all?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad. Now that Duan Gong has given him a name, Xuande still doesn't accept it."

….

Liu Bei ignored their gags, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, slowly opened it, and put it on the wooden table in front of him.

There are only two characters written on it in flying white font.

Qingping.

Everyone had read some books, so they were silent when they saw these two words.

No matter what their intentions are now, when they were studying in the past, they always hoped that the world would be peaceful.

"Xuande has a big name." Yuan Shao smiled.

"That's true, but the name Xuande has a very good meaning, "Who doesn't want to see Chengping the world in their lifetime." Cao Cao laughed.

"I also hope that one day this world will be as Meng De said in Piyong that day."

Liu Bei smiled, "The journey of the avenue is also the world's public. Select talents and abilities, and emphasize faith and harmony. Therefore no one has only one kiss to his own relatives, nor only one son, so that the old may have an end, the strong will be useful, the young will be grown, and the widowed, the lonely, the lonely, and the sick will be supported."

"May I see the world like this in my lifetime."

Everyone sighed again and thought about it.

Liu Bei's gaze swept over everyone in the room, and he also secretly sighed in his heart.

At this time, the house is full of heroes.

"Okay, now that the name has been decided, let's not get drunk tonight." Liu Bei laughed and went to the back to carry wine for everyone.

Everyone in the room is a momentary master, talking speculatively, and the wine is strong, and after a few decades of drinking, it is already a little smoky.

Liu Dan, who had been saying very little, suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "All the gentlemen are all outstanding people in the world, and it is rare to gather today. I would like to paint a picture for you."

Liu Bei, who was persuading Yuan Shao to drink, smiled when he heard this, "Then there is Lao Liu Jun."

Liu Dan got up and went to find pen and ink, and there was naturally no shortage of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here.

Duan Cheng and Chen Xu wanted to resign, but after all, they couldn't defeat Liu Bei and the others, and they only relied on their official positions, and the two were finally put in the first row in the center.

After convincing the two, the rest of the others stood casually.

Cao Cao deliberately approached Guan Yu's side, and the two of them looked black and red, looking quite happy from a distance.

Yuan Shao straightened his clothes and put on a majestic appearance.

Yuan Shu was already a little drunk at this time, and was barely standing by Gongsun Zhan.

On the side of the two, Fu Xie and Han Yue stood side by side.

Xu You and Cao Hong stood against the pillar on the side, and the two of them occupied one side, as if they did not want to look at each other.

Liu Bei sat cross-legged on the ground with a smile and raised one hand high.

On this night, everyone drank freely and got drunk.

Many years later, the young people of today's brewery have become famous all over the world, and they will always think of this brewery from time to time.

I remembered that drunken scene many years ago.

history

At the end of the autumn of the twenty-eighth year of Jianyan, the world has been peaceful for a long time.

The internal turmoil is determined, and the external service is barbaric. Since the Han Dynasty, it was the strongest at this time.

And Emperor Zhaowu, who has been in the imperial palace for a long time, has not set foot in the folk for a long time, but he has received a picture scroll from the people.

On the scroll, the young man sitting on the ground smiled brightly and raised his hand high.

Emperor Zhaowu hung the scroll in the most conspicuous place in the dormitory, and he always had to look at it a few times every day.

The palace people who served in the palace knew that this painting was His Majesty's beloved object, so they were extra careful when wiping it.

"Father, this scroll is just ordinary, why do you put it in such a conspicuous place?"

On this day, Liu Chen, who was only a few years old, was lying on Emperor Wu's lap and playing, and asked puzzledly.

The old emperor, who had already turned white, smiled when he heard this, looked at the picture scroll, and showed some nostalgia on his face.

He raised his hand and touched his grandson's hair, and said with a smile, "Those are the old people of the eldest father, and they are all heroes of the moment."

The stars are scattered, except for the long clouds, the old people in the painting are really old people.

He sighed, a little emotional.

Even if they go their separate ways later, even if they face each other later.

But the wine house is still there, and the ambition of that year has been realized.

This world has finally ushered in a peaceful world.

Fall to the first
