Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 464: Jointly Opening a Restaurant
"There is one more thing. At the beginning, His Majesty ordered that Dong Zhuo and his followers be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and subjected to all kinds of punishments in the Heavenly Prison before being beheaded in the autumn. Originally, the time was almost up, but this morning the Heavenly Prison reported that Dong Zhuo had been tortured for several months and was seriously ill and had died in prison."

"Oh?" This news really surprised Liu He.

"I never thought that such a great hero would die tragically in the prison. It's really sad."

"In addition, when Li Ru heard the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he took advantage of the jailer's meal delivery to break the ceramic bowl and cut his throat to death..."

"Huh?" This news surprised Liu He even more than Dong Zhuo's death.

"I didn't expect that Li Ru would be so loyal. I used a plot to alienate him and got him imprisoned by Dong Zhuo. I thought he must hate Dong Zhuo very much, but I didn't expect that he would be buried with his master. Although he is a disaster to the country and the people, and has a vicious heart, he is a loyal and righteous man. Let's bury his body properly. As for Dong Zhuo, his crime is unforgivable. Although he is dead today, he should be beheaded and his body exposed. Tomorrow, he will be beheaded together with Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and the heads will be hung outside the city and announced to the world."

Liu He did not hate Dong Zhuo to that extent, but he was a descendant of the Han Dynasty and was now supporting the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo was a traitor, and treating him in this way could demonstrate the majesty of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

Liu He, Xun Yu and Cui Jun discussed military and political affairs together, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.

A maid from the mansion came over and said, "General, the old lady and the lady came to inform us that dinner is ready."

"I was so excited chatting with the two military advisors that I forgot the time. Come on, Wenruo, Zhouping, let's go have dinner together."

Xun Yu and Cui Jun were officials under Liu He after he established his government. It was common for them to eat and stay in the general's mansion, so they did not refuse.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the dining room, Xu ordered the servants to serve the meal.

When outside, Liu He was the general, but when having meals at home, Xu was the first, followed by Zhang Tong and his wife, then Liu He and Zhang Yu, and then Xun Yu and Cui Jun.

A list of dishes was served, not a lot in number, with one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup on each person's table. But it was already very rare. Even in the general's mansion, one could not eat such luxuriously every day.

"Hmm? Today's dishes seem to be a little lighter than usual, but they have a unique flavor. Could it be that the mansion has hired a new chef?"

Liu He had just taken a few bites when he realized something was wrong.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "My husband is quite picky. The one cooking today is not the chef in the mansion, but Miss Wang Shan. She said that my husband saved her and her husband, and she has no way to repay him, so she will cook some Jingzhou delicacies for us in the mansion these few days."

"Oh? It's her? Well, the taste is indeed excellent. I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good. I am really impressed."

Liu He thought that the couple was only good at making pastries like rice dumplings, but he didn't expect that they were also so skilled in making main dishes.

Liu Zheng, who was sitting next to Xu, was enjoying his meal so much that he grabbed the food with his hands and got his face covered with grease.

When Liu He saw this, his face immediately frowned and he slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"Slave, how can you eat like this?"

Liu Zheng was so frightened that he stopped eating instantly. His round face just remained open with his mouth, not daring to move. Liu He almost couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

When Xu saw her grandson being taught a lesson, she immediately became unhappy.

"I am only six years old and I am not very skilled in using chopsticks. Why are you so harsh on me? When you were six years old, you were not as good as him."

After that, she stroked Liu Zheng's back and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, my dear. If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to make more later. When your father was young, there was nothing to eat at home and he often went hungry. Now that we have enough food, I can't let you go hungry. Just eat. With me here, I don't think your father dares to say anything."

After saying that, he deliberately glared at Liu He.

Liu He was just about to step forward and say something about how spoiling children is not good, when Zhang Tong and his wife also followed Xu's lead and joined in.

These three elders all spoke, and Liu He could only shake his head helplessly.

"After dinner, remember to study. Don't slack off. Do you hear me?"

Liu He originally intended to invite a famous Confucian scholar to teach his son, but after much thought, he could not find a suitable candidate. Masters like Lu Zhi were naturally good in character and ability, but they held important positions in the court and were his elders. It was a waste of talent to ask them to come to the mansion to teach Liu Zheng.

Fortunately, both he and his wife are well-educated, especially Zhang Yu, who has stayed at home over the years and read more books than Liu He. With her knowledge and her current IQ of 90, it is more than enough for her to educate her son for the time being.

As for martial arts, he is still young after all, so Liu He doesn't have any requirements for it for the time being. He just asks his mother and Zhang Yu to do some medication conditioning on a daily basis. In addition, he asks him to do some of the simplest exercises every day to strengthen his body, that's all.

Liu Zhengben was also a well-behaved child and not a spoiled brat. He nodded repeatedly when he heard what his father said.

"I understand. I will be obedient and study hard. When I grow up, I will share my father's worries." When he said this, Liu He was stunned.

Xu looked at her precious grandson with a doting look on her face: "My dear grandson, you are much more sensible than your father when he was young. When he was six years old, he still wet the kang. How could he know how to share his father's worries?"

Liu He's face was immediately filled with black lines: "Mother, can you please stop exposing my shortcomings? After all, I am a general now..."

"What's wrong? Now that you're a general, your mother can't say anything to you?"

After Xu's glare, Liu He begged for mercy on the spot.

"Yes, yes."

Although Xun Yu and Cui Jun were also laughing secretly, they naturally wanted to find ways to help when they saw that their lord was in trouble.

Xun Yu took a sip of the soup, looking unsatisfied.

"Well, this woman has extraordinary skills. If she opens a restaurant, the business will definitely be good. But as the saying goes: A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. She and her husband are just ordinary people. Once their business becomes prosperous, they will inevitably be bullied by thieves in the future. I think it would be better for the general to open a restaurant with them in the name of the family. This will not only earn some subsidies for the government, but also protect them. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Liu He gave him a look of affirmation and gratitude.

"Very good, very thoughtful. By the way, hasn't Brother Gongjian always said that he wants to open a branch of your Xun's Restaurant in Luoyang? Why not invite him over to discuss it together?"

"This is feasible. I will write him a letter later and invite him to Luoyang."

"Haha, with the joint efforts of the lord and Xun, we can definitely open the largest restaurant in Luoyang. This couple can be considered lucky this time."

Cui Jun clapped his hands and laughed.

Liu He had just finished his dinner and walked into the yard when a soldier came running towards him in a hurry.

"Report... General Gao Shun has returned triumphantly and is now fifteen miles outside the city."

Liu He was delighted.

"Oh? Five days ago, I received a report from Bo Ping saying that he was going to return to the capital. I didn't expect him to arrive so soon. Wen Ruo, Zhou Ping, follow me out of the city to welcome him."

Although it was beginning to get dark, Liu He was in high spirits and hurried out of the city with Xun Yu and Cui Jun.

The three of them rode their horses all the way, and not long after they left the city, they saw a troop marching, singing military songs as they marched. The flags were flying, the morale was high, and it was a spectacular sight.

"Bo Ping..."

Liu He called from afar.

"Lord!"

When Gao Shun saw Liu He personally coming out of the city for more than ten miles to greet him, even though he was a man who never showed his emotions, he could not hide his emotion on his face. He quickly ran forward, jumped off his horse and knelt before Liu He.

"General Gao Shun, I am late in delivering the order, my lord, please forgive me!"

"Haha, Bo Ping followed Liu Bei and conquered Shangdang in one battle. Our army suffered only dozens of casualties. Such military exploits are rare in the world. What crime has he committed? Please stand up quickly."

Gao Shun was helped up by Liu He, but he still looked ashamed.

"I am incompetent. I failed to capture Lu Bu and caused heavy casualties to the Zhao family..."

"Ah, this is beyond what Bo Ping could have expected. The result of this battle is rare, so don't worry about it. Although Lu Bu is brave but not wise, he is not in my eyes. I will capture him sooner or later."

As he was speaking, Liu He's eyes suddenly caught sight of the two generals behind Gao Shun. Both of them had extraordinary appearances, and the way they looked at Liu He was full of respect and excitement.

"These two must be the Zhao Zilong and Deng Ziyang mentioned in Bo Ping's military report, right?"

Although Liu He was extremely happy in his heart, he tried to remain calm on his face.

Wang's matter will not end so easily. There will be a big storm in the future.
