Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 538 Rainbow after the rain
After returning to his mansion, Yuan Tan vented all his anger on the servants and the various furnishings in the house.

He beat out the servants and maids one by one, and smashed everything to pieces.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping hurried in, but when they saw this scene, they didn't dare to go in and could only wait outside.

I don't know how long it took, but the house finally became quiet.

The two of them then walked in and saw Yuan Tan sitting on a couch, sulking.

"Why is the eldest master angry..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Tan pointed at their noses and started cursing.

"It's all your fault. What kind of scheme did you come up with to make me lose face in front of my father? And it made the third brother look so powerful. It really pissed me off!"

The two smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to refute.

Guo Tu smiled and walked closer: "Sir, this time we two were not thoughtful enough. It's just that the performance of the third young master today is really incredible. Judging from Tu's judgment, it is definitely not what he thought. There must be a master behind the scenes."

Yuan Tan also calmed down: "Well, I know very well how knowledgeable my third brother is, but Feng Ji and Shen Pei are the only ones who have sided with him in the army. Feng Ji has been staying in the hall and has never left. Shen Pei was sent to Julu County by my father a few months ago and has never returned. Who else could be helping him behind the scenes and opposing me?"

Xin Ping lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Could it be Xu You?"

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "No, Xu Ziyuan has been in the palace today, and he is clearly against accepting Xu Huang."

Xin Ping thought for a while and suddenly shouted, "Could it be Tian Feng?"

"This..." Guo Tu thought about it, but couldn't seem to find any reason to deny this statement.

Xin Ping followed up by saying, "Tian Yuanhao has always been dissatisfied with the eldest son. The eldest son visited him many times, but he always made excuses to avoid meeting him. But when the lord asked him to teach the third son a year ago, he readily agreed, which shows his true intentions."

"Well, I think he wants to help the Third Young Master ascend to the throne and take over the Lord's position in the future. As the Lord's mentor, he will naturally soar to the sky."

Both Guo Tu and Xin Ping seemed to have found a reasonable explanation.

Yuan Tan's eyes were blazing with fire: "How dare Tian Feng go against me? Sooner or later I will chop him into pieces!"

"My Lord, Tian Feng has just been demoted by the Lord, and he can't cause any trouble for the time being. For now, we still have to find a way to solve the current predicament. Liu He is now in Xihe County to provide disaster relief, and it is difficult for him to escape for the time being. Guan Yu, Cheng Liang, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, and Ye Xiang are all in Shangdang County to guard against our Jizhou troops. Of the famous Bingzhou generals, only Gao Shun is left, but he is far away in Sili, and it is definitely difficult for him to get to Yanmen in a short time. If Xu Huang really launches a surprise attack, I am afraid that Yanmen will really be captured by him."

Yuan Tan couldn't help but panic: "What should I do? My father loves my third brother and often says that he looks most like me. If he really makes such a great contribution, he will be the only one to inherit my father's business in the future. Wouldn't that mean I'm doomed?"

"Don't worry, eldest master. The Baibo Army is extremely powerful. It will be difficult to stop them from taking Yanmen. But I do have a plan that may help me compete with the third master for this great achievement."

Yuan Tan was not interested at all: "My father ordered me to return to Qingzhou after three days of rest. How can I compete with my third brother for merit?"

Guo Tu laughed wickedly, "How could you forget, sir? My lord has a second son. My plan is called "driving away the wolf and chasing away the tiger". Whether the wolf chases away the tiger, or the wolf is killed by the tiger, or both suffer losses, it will be beneficial to you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tan grabbed his hand as if he had seen a savior and said, "Please teach me, sir."

Guo Tu, Xin Ping and Yuan Tan put their heads together, and after a moment, all three of them burst into laughter.

In Taihang Mountains, outside the Baibo Army’s stronghold, Xu Huang and Qian Zhao saw off the envoy sent by Jizhou.

"Yuan Shao actually proposed such a condition. Why did you agree so easily? Did the lord give you some instructions before?"

Qian Zhao already knew that the Baibo Army was actually Liu He's troops, so naturally he called Liu He his lord.

Xu Huang smiled mysteriously: "These conditions are all within the Lord's expectations. Yuan Shao does have many capable people under his command, but it's a pity that they keep fighting secretly, especially his sons. Wow, they are really good sons."

He left behind this inexplicable remark, then turned around and returned to the mountain stronghold with a smile. Qian Zhao shrugged, still not understanding: "Forget it, Zhang Niujiao will not stop recently, let's deal with him first, and then go to Yanmen. After all, we are all family members, and I think the lord will have arrangements, so I won't worry about it. Let's prepare for the battle first."

After saying that, he followed Xu Huang's footsteps and walked back.

Two and a half months have passed since Liu He arrived in Xihe County, and the gaps in various places have finally been temporarily blocked.

The continuous heavy rain stopped, and the sun reappeared in the sky, shining on everyone's face. Summer passed and autumn came. The autumn wind was cool and everyone felt the rare comfort and warmth in months.

The flood in Lishi County was the first to recede. Qian Li and the county magistrate brought the people who had been resettled on the hillside back to the city and mobilized everyone to clean up their homes. Within a few days, the dilapidated county town regained some of its former glory.

During these two and a half months, Liu He had hardly had a good night's sleep. Now, he had dark circles under his eyes as heavy as charcoal, bloodshot eyes were very obvious, and he looked exhausted. Liu He was sure that if a bed appeared in front of him at any time, he would sleep worse than a pig.

Qian Li hurried over with a look of surprise on his face.

Liu He looked at his face and asked in surprise, "What good news could make Daozhun so happy? I remember that when you just became a father last year, you weren't this happy, right?"

Qian Li married the daughter of a small merchant family in Wuyuan County more than two years ago. They just had a daughter last year, and Qian Li doted on her very much. But even then, he didn't smile as happily as he does now.

"My lord, there are two great happy events today, and I cannot help but be excited and happy."

"Oh? Two items? Tell me about it." Liu He asked curiously.

"First, just now, all the houses in the city have been cleared. Many damaged and collapsed houses, as well as houses in the villages outside the city, have also officially begun to be repaired and rebuilt. The five porridge stalls in the city and the eight porridge stalls outside the city have all been built. Everything is in order, and the people can finally have some peace for a while."

"Well, that's a great thing indeed. What about the second one?"

At this time, Qian Li seemed to be a little excited, but Liu He seemed to feel that his excitement was more directed at himself, which made him even more surprised.

"The second happy event is about the master and mistress."

"Yu'er?" Liu He was very surprised, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be...Could it be that Yu'er gave birth?"

Qian Li immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations, my lord, on the birth of your daughter!"

Liu He was stunned and muttered to himself: "I have a daughter? I have a daughter!"

"Hahaha, that's great, I have a daughter now. I have both a son and a daughter, what more could my husband ask for!"

Qian Li looked at the excited Liu He and said, "Two military advisors, and the old lady sent a letter, asking the lord not to worry about Luoyang's situation. The mother and daughter are safe, but the old lady asked the lord to give them a name."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's time to give it a name."

Liu He clapped his hands and paced back and forth. Suddenly, his gaze stopped outside the window on several trees in the backyard of the county government office. Most of these trees had been submerged by the flood, but now that the flood had receded, the branches and leaves had become lush again in a short time.

"Got it! After this disaster, everything will be reborn. It won't be long before Xihe County will be lush and prosperous again. Since my daughter was born at this time, it must be God's will. How about calling her Liu Qian?"

When Qian Li saw him asking for his opinion, he lowered his head and began to think.

"Qian means flourishing, lush and green, full of vitality, magnificent and magnificent, wonderful, wonderful."

Liu He was overjoyed and immediately picked up the brush on the desk: "It's settled. I will write a divorce letter immediately and send it back to Luoyang."

Qian Li was stunned: "What? Master, why don't you go back?"
