Chapter 133 Comments

Such a strange person aroused Liu He's curiosity.

"Well... since he's asking about me, I'll go see him in person and let him see enough!"

Liu He said he would go and he stood up to go out, but Guan Yu quickly stopped him.

"Brother, I think this is inappropriate. You are no longer the same as before. You are responsible for the well-being of tens of thousands of people in Langdiao County. If that person has any bad intentions, wouldn't you be walking into a trap?"

Liu He laughed and said, "Haha, Yunchang, you are too worried. According to what you said, that man is just an ordinary scholar, and he has no help. We are all people with precious armor to protect us. Even if I stand there and let him kill me, he may not be able to hurt me. What is there to be afraid of?"

Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will go with you, brother."

"Haha, that's fine. But you don't need to bring your usual weapons. I'll just bring the Cangming Sword, so people won't say we don't know how to entertain guests."

Liu He entered the inner hall, went to Cangming Sword, and then went to Yuntian Tavern under the leadership of Guan Yu.

"This guy drinks at Yuntian Tavern every day and asks for information. Look, brother, his donkey is tied to the door."

Guan Yu pointed at the donkey at the door of the tavern and said to Liu He.

"Haha, that's interesting. Let's go in and take a look!"

Liu He got off the horse and walked straight inside.

The shopkeeper had seen Liu He before, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly and excitedly greeted him: "Oh, County Magistrate Liu, you have come to visit us. It is a great honor for our shop. Please come in!"

"Excuse me, sir. May I ask if the gentleman riding the donkey is here?" Liu He asked with a smile.

"Oh, he's here, yes, he's on the second floor. I'll take Magistrate Liu up there!"

The shopkeeper made a gesture to invite them in, and then led the way himself, and Liu He and the other two followed.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..." the shopkeeper shouted as he walked, "Mr. Xu, County Magistrate Liu is here to see you!"

The shopkeeper's shout made many drinkers upstairs stand up.

Liu He treats the people kindly and has become an "idol" in the eyes of many residents in this city. When they heard that he was coming here, everyone was excited.

But among the crowd, there was one person who was still sitting in his seat. Not to mention standing up, he didn't even look up at Liu He. This made everyone immediately annoyed.

"How can you be so rude..."

The shopkeeper felt that he was losing face and was about to get angry at Mr. Xu, but Liu He stopped him.

Seeing that the man had an extraordinary temperament, Liu He knew that he must not be an ordinary person, so he did not act arrogantly. He walked forward respectfully and bowed slightly.

"This gentleman is very kind. I am Liu He, the county magistrate of this county. I heard that you have been here for a few days and have been looking for Liu, so I came here specially. If you want to know anything, I will tell you everything I know."

Liu He sat down opposite this man openly, which made Mr. Xu look a little surprised.

Mr. Xu looked at Liu He, then at Guan Yu behind him, but still did not speak. Guan Yu immediately raised his brows, took a step forward, and wanted to argue.

Liu He stretched out his hand to hold him down, and continued to bow to Mr. Xu and said, "I wonder if you have any advice for me, sir?" Mr. Xu took a sip of tea, slowly and leisurely, as if he didn't take Liu He seriously, which made Guan Yu very annoyed.

Liu He was not in a hurry. He knew that many intellectuals liked to show off like this, so he didn't say anything. He just sat aside and waited, while signaling the drinkers around him to return to their seats.

After drinking two cups of tea, Mr. Xu slowly spoke: "These generals under County Magistrate Liu are all brave and loyal, and they are worthy of being a patriot."

Guan Yu saw that although Liu He neglected him, he praised them right away and thought that Liu He was sensible, so his expression improved a little.

However, the next words almost made him lose face: "However, County Magistrate Liu's second brother is stubborn and self-reliant, your third brother is brave but has no strategy, your fourth brother has strategies but lacks decision-making, your fifth brother is smart but does not use them, and your disciple has no opinion of his own. If they follow County Magistrate Liu, they can accomplish things. If they each lead their own troops, chaos will surely occur in the long run."

When these words were spoken, Liu He was shocked, and Guan Yu was furious. Even the drinkers around him stood up and glared at him.

"You are so rude. My elder brother treated me politely, but why are you so rude?"

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes slightly opened, murderous intent was evident on his body, and his right hand pressed on the handle of the knife, showing his impatience.

Not to mention him, even the many diners nearby started to criticize him.

"Don't act rashly!" Liu He shouted angrily.

It is normal for others to be angry, but Liu He is very clear that this person's evaluation is absolutely correct.

Guan Yu was strong and self-reliant, which has long been proven in the original history.

Cheng Liang is indeed brave but not wise. His intelligence of less than 50 says it all. He also has a bad temper.

As for Zhang Yong, he was definitely both wise and brave, but lacked decisiveness. He often had two sides but always needed Liu He to make decisions for him. For example, during the attack on Hongye Village and the final battle on the night, Zhang Yong had actually completely guessed Liu He's strategy and saw that something was wrong with Hongye Village that night. He could have taken the opportunity to make a decision and launch a counter-ambush, but he insisted on letting Ye Xiang come back to tell Liu He and let Liu He give the order, and then he would do it.

This was certainly related to his respect for Liu He, who was actually the supreme commander of the militia, but if this became a habit over time, problems would easily arise when he led the army alone in the future.

Zhu Ye's intelligence is neither high nor low, but it is pretty good. However, he never uses his brain to think. When encountering problems, he just raises his hammers and shouts "Smash him to pieces".

Ye Xiang's evaluation was even more accurate. He seldom spoke, let alone had his own opinions. He always said, "What Brother Liu said makes sense." He was almost like the monk Sha in Liu He's previous life.

These people following Liu He must be a powerful and almost invincible force, but if they grow stronger in the future, it is impossible for them to stay by Liu He's side forever. Once they go out to lead troops alone, there will indeed be great hidden dangers.

Liu He had thought about this before, but because there were too many things to do and it had not yet come to that point, Liu He was too lazy to care about it. Now that this person mentioned it, he suddenly woke up from his dream.

Liu He stood up, bowed respectfully and said: "Sir, what you said is very true, I hope you can teach me!"

Mr. Xu looked at Liu He's attitude with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and quickly stood up and supported Liu He.

"You are too kind, Magistrate Liu! I am a new comer here, and I am already speaking so rudely. Magistrate Liu, please do not take it as an offense!"

Liu He then understood that those seemingly rude actions before were probably this person's way of testing him, and now his performance probably made him quite satisfied.

"Although what you just said is unpleasant to the ear, we brothers are indeed as you said. I have also been worried about this. I don't care whether I can achieve great fame or not. But if chaos breaks out and the lives of my brothers and disciples are endangered, how can I live alone in this world?"

Liu He choked up as he spoke, which deeply moved Guan Yu. He lowered his head and looked a little ashamed.
