Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 238: A Really Good Man
"These two brothers are both pretty good at fighting, and their intelligence isn't low either. The most important thing is that You Lang actually has such an amazing special attribute. It's like God prepared this for me!"

The moment Liu He found out the attributes of the two people, he made up his mind to subdue them.

Cui Jun seemed to be at a loss as to what to do with these two people. Liu He looked at them and came up with an idea.

"I see that you two hate the imperial court so much, and you mentioned your father earlier. I guess the battle that caused your father's death was not as simple as the rumors say, right?"

The two brothers' lips moved, but they finally held back.

Liu He used the plots of various costume dramas he had watched in his previous life and combined them with his own imagination to start making wild guesses.

"Let me think about this... After you two grew up, you hated the local tyrants so much. I'm afraid that in addition to their bullying of the people in your hometown, it is also related to your father's death, right?"

You Lang opened his eyes and looked at Liu He with some surprise.

"You...who are you!"

Liu He smiled and said in a casual tone: "My name is Liu He, my name is Xianzhao, and I am from Langtiao County."

When he introduced himself, the two brothers suddenly looked at him with their eyes wide open.

"You...Are you Liu He from the Langtiao County Militia?"

Now Liu He and Cui Jun were surprised.

"Why? Have you also heard of Liu's humble name?"

The two brothers seemed a little excited. They stood up, walked to Liu He, and looked at Liu He from head to toe through the cell door.

"Yes, yes, there's no doubt about it! It looks exactly like what's rumored."

"Brother, there is one more thing. Could it be that the red-faced general we captured is Guan Yu?"

You Lang slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! We didn't notice such an obvious feature!"

Liu He was confused by them.

"How do you two know my and my second brother's names?"

The two brothers' faces became somewhat happy, and they no longer resisted Liu He's questions.

"My brothers and I have traveled far and wide, mostly in Bingzhou. Over the years, we have repeatedly heard that there is a descendant of the royal family in Langdiao County. Although he was born in a rural area, he is full of passion and is dedicated to protecting the country and the people. He has made many extraordinary achievements and has won the support of the people from all directions. The two of us have long heard of your great name, but we have been entangled in worldly affairs and have never had the opportunity to meet you. I didn't expect to see you in Yanmen today!"

"Yes, yes! My elder brother and I often mention you, Lord Liu. We all say that if all the officials of the Han Dynasty and the nobles in the royal family can be like Lord Liu, there will be peace and prosperity in the Han Dynasty. You and your sworn brothers are the idols of many chivalrous men, including us!"

Liu He broke out in a cold sweat.

"Really? How come I don't know about this?"

Cui Jun came over and said, "Haha, what they said is true. Among Jun's knight-errant friends, there are also some who admire the lord very much, but the lord is busy with military affairs, so Jun has never dared to bring them to pay a visit."

Only then did Liu He realize that he had already gained such a great reputation.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I just did what I could. I don't dare to take credit for it!"

The atmosphere in the cell suddenly became lively.

You Lang suddenly frowned. "That's not right. I, your brother, can trust your character and reputation. Moreover, when you entered the city today, many people lined the streets to welcome you, which proved this point. But your benefactor said..."

Liu He keenly captured the important information.

"What? It turned out that the person who saved you ordered you to rescue Chu Yan?"

You Lang seemed to be still a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not, but You Ming couldn't help it.

"Oh, big brother, Lord Liu is a rare good man and a good official. I think there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Let's talk to Lord Liu and make things clear. Maybe we can mediate between him and the benefactor."

Hearing this, You Lang also thought it made sense.

"Well, what you said is right, second brother. To be honest, my brother was seriously injured and unconscious. He was rescued by the benefactor. For more than a year, he has been recuperating in a secret mansion of the benefactor. Not long ago, the benefactor suddenly found us and said that there was an important matter that he wanted to ask the two of us to do."

"He saved our lives. Now that he has made a request, we should repay him. What he said also made us very angry. Even if there is no such thing as a favor, we must do it."

Liu He seemed to have thought of something and interrupted, "If I'm not mistaken, your benefactor told you that I was a corrupt official, and Chu Yan was a good man who spoke for the people. I set a trap to kill him, and then asked you two to rescue him at the critical moment?"

You Lang nodded: "General Liu's words are generally correct, but there are still some omissions."

"My benefactor said that you oppressed the people at the Yanmen border, forcibly recruited soldiers, withheld food and wages, abused soldiers, and bullied men and women. You were rampant and did all kinds of evil. He also told me that if there was a chance, you could..."

"Can you take my head or the heads of several commanders in my army?"

You Lang didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Liu He looked at Cui Jun and asked, "Counselor, can you guess who this person is?"

Cui Jun frowned and said in a deep voice: "It must have been done by Wang Chen and those people from the Bingzhou wealthy families, but it's hard to say who it was."

Liu He stared at You Lang closely.

"This person has ulterior motives, bringing disaster to the country and the people, confusing right and wrong, and has ill intentions. If you really still have a trace of chivalrous spirit for the country and the people in your heart, tell me the identity of this person."

You Lang and You Ming looked very conflicted.

"Sir Liu, you protect the people. Even when the army was short of food, you refused the food that the people offered to you. Now you are guarding the border for the country without any complaints. My two brothers admire you very much! If it were anything else, even if we were to die, we would never frown. But you saved our lives. There may be a misunderstanding in this matter. Before we find out the truth, my two brothers cannot reveal your identity to you!"

Cui Jun said: "You are foolishly loyal! This man obviously has bad intentions. Chu Yan has gathered more than 100,000 people in the mountains and forests, robbing the people and causing trouble. You two will understand if you just ask a little. If you delay for a day, more people will be harmed. And the culprit behind the scenes will be at large for a day, and the safety of my master will be threatened for a day. My army is guarding the border. If my master is killed, the army will be in chaos. When the Xianbei attack again, there will be a lot of suffering!"

You Lang and You Ming looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, You Lang spoke again, "We rescued Chu Yan, and my brother will take full responsibility for this matter. Sir Liu can let my brother go. After he finds out who Chu Yan is and what he did, if this guy is really as you said, doing all kinds of evil and killing people, my second brother will take his head and come back to apologize to you!"

"Besides that, my brother is somewhat well-known in the Ji and Bing areas, and has a few trustworthy friends. I will let my second brother notify them and have them gather at Yanmen to protect the safety of the adults in secret. If the adults are hurt in the slightest, you can always take my life to pay for it!"

You Lang is obviously taking himself as a hostage. He is unwilling to betray his benefactor, nor does he want to do something that will harm the country and the people and go against chivalry.

"Brother, you..."

You Ming obviously did not agree with this plan.

"Good! What a hero! He is indeed a man of steel. I admire him!"
