Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 12 Liu Feng: I always feel like I'm becoming Dong Zhuo

Return to the inner room.

Shin Suk was wearing a bright red brocade robe, kneeling on the bed, as gentle as a spring breeze.

I feel pity for her and my feelings are as gentle as water.

Every frown and smile seems to exude a charming fragrance, making people want to touch her.

Her hair is as white as clouds and her face is as beautiful as a flower, and the hibiscus tent is warm.

The spring night is short and the king is not in court.

Liu Feng couldn't resist the urge to pick the ripe peach in front of him.

Only after the passionate lovemaking did he ask Shen Shu about what he had seen and heard at Shen Dan's banquet for Meng Da during the day.

Beauty and business.

Liu Feng has always been very clear about the distinction.

Just like the former King Zhuang of Chu, who ascended the throne for three years without issuing any orders, enjoying himself day and night, holding Zheng Ji in his left hand and Yue Nu in his right hand, sitting among bells and drums, but this did not affect King Zhuang of Chu in achieving hegemony.

Having the country in your left hand and a beauty in your right hand are not incompatible.

Only a bootlicker would neglect government affairs and spend money extravagantly for the sake of a beauty.

Liu Feng would not believe all of Shen Dan's words.

In other words, you can't trust everyone's words in Shangyong City.

Shin Suk did not hesitate.

Lying in Liu Feng's arms, Shen Shu told him everything she had seen and heard during the day.

Although Shin Sook is Shin Dam's tool to carry out his beauty trap, Shin Sook is not willing to be just a tool.

This is the disadvantage of the beauty trap.

If the tool used to carry out the beauty trap develops the desire to become a human, the person carrying out the beauty trap will be retaliated against by the tool.

Liu Feng is the man who can make Shen Shu a real human being.

In order to obtain Liu Feng's protection, Shen Shu had to be loyal to Liu Feng.

After listening quietly to Shen Shu's statement, Liu Feng had a further judgment on Shen Dan's attitude.

If yesterday Shen Dan just wanted to use Liu Feng to let Meng Da enforce military discipline, then today Shen Dan really had to choose between Liu Feng and Meng Da.

In addition to Liu Feng solving Shen Dan's troubles, there was also Meng Da's greed.

Meng Da, too greedy.

Between the lines, there was the intention of asking Shen Dan to provide money and food to support his four thousand troops.

Shen Dan had only gathered a few thousand people.

To support Meng Da's four thousand followers meant that all the taxes Shen Dan collected from every household had to be used to support Meng Da's four thousand followers.

If we count Shen Dan's own soldiers, almost every family member has to support one soldier.

This is simply impossible to afford!
If Shen Dan really did this, the thousands of households following Shen Dan would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

Why do these thousands of households depend on the powerful families?
Isn't it because the government's corvée and taxes are too heavy, and following the wealthy can make the corvée and taxes lighter?

As a result, the corvée and taxes imposed by the wealthy and powerful are even heavier than those imposed by the government. Who would be willing to follow them?

Although Meng Da seemed to no longer target Shen Dan, he was actually using more covert means to exploit Shen Dan's wealth.

If there was only Meng Da in Shangyong, Shen Dan might have endured it.

But now Shangyong has Liu Feng, so Shen Dan has a choice.

"You did a great job. When you are in charge of the job, I will take you back to Chengdu to see my father." Liu Feng did not hesitate to praise and promise Shen Shu.

Liu Feng would not be stingy with praise and promises to those who were willing to offer their loyalty, whether it was the beauty in his arms or the wise man Deng Fan who recommended himself today.

Shen Shu's delicate body trembled.

Liu Feng's proposal to take her back to Chengdu to see Liu Bei was much better than Shen Dan's pretentious ceremony of returning home.

"It is my humble concubine's fortune to receive the general's favor." Shin Suk's bright eyes were filled with tears.

With Liu Feng's promise, Shen Shu truly transformed from a lowly girl who was treated as a tool into someone who could be treated like a human being.

Being recognized by Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, even if she was just a concubine, was not something that ordinary people could underestimate.

Early the next morning.

Shen Dan arrived outside Liu Feng's mansion as promised.

Today's ceremony of Shen Shu's return to the clan was nominally a "recognition of father and daughter" between Shen Dan and Shen Shu, but in reality it was Shen Dan's way of expressing his position to Liu Feng. It was also a way of expressing his position to the nobles and celebrities of Shangyong, recognizing the superior status of Liu Feng, the deputy general of the army, in Shangyong.

Shen Dan prepared two carriages.

One car carried Shen Shu ahead, and the other carried Liu Feng.

"General Meng doesn't even know that I gave Shuji to the general. If I recognize Shuji today, General Meng might have some thoughts. Should I announce in public that Shuji is the general's concubine?" Shen Dan asked cautiously.

Liu Feng stared at Shen Dan meaningfully: "Shen Zhengbei didn't announce it publicly, does he want to regard me as Dong Zhuo?"

Shen Dan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained: "The deputy general has misunderstood. I have no such intention! It's just that I am afraid that General Meng will be dissatisfied with me when he sees that Shuji has returned to the general."

Liu Feng snorted: "Since it is a misunderstanding, don't think about it anymore."

A cold sweat ran down Shen Dan's back. Shen Dan was terrified and bowed his head again: "I have spoken out of turn."

Seeing Shen Dan's attitude, Liu Feng softened his tone again: "Since you know Shuji is my woman, how dare General Meng be dissatisfied with Shen Zhengbei? Don't mention this matter again, it ruins my mood today!"

Seeing that Liu Feng had no interest in bringing up the matter again, Shen Dan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The carriage soon arrived at Shen Dan's residence.

The celebrities from the Shangyong noble families who Shen Dan had invited also arrived one after another.

Upon learning that Shen Dan had recognized his daughter today, even the Deputy General Liu Feng was invited in person to be a witness, and many wealthy and famous people began to speculate.

Those who can become wealthy and famous are more or less knowledgeable.

Shen Dan both acknowledged the girl and asked Liu Feng to be a witness. One can tell what Shen Dan was planning.

Many nobles and celebrities came forward to greet Liu Feng and congratulate Shen Dan.

Liu Feng also returned the greetings and chatted with the nobles and celebrities one by one.

There are not many opportunities to chat with wealthy and famous people on weekdays.

Today, all the important figures in Shangyong City gathered together, and Liu Feng naturally would not miss this opportunity to win people's hearts.

It was not until the voice of "General Meng has arrived" was heard that all the nobles and celebrities dispersed from Liu Feng's side and returned to their seats as if avoiding the plague god.

Meng Da had allowed his soldiers to loot property these days, and not only Shen Dan was affected, but also some of the wealthy and famous people present.

The rumor that Kuai Qi "died in a rebellion" also made many wealthy and famous people avoid Meng Da as much as possible.

Meng Da swaggered into the banquet, glanced at the nobles and celebrities present, and finally his gaze fell on Liu Feng, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat.

"The deputy general is here today too? Could it be that the deputy general is also interested in the daughter that Shen Zhengbei recognized?" Meng Da bluntly expressed his intention towards Shen Dan's daughter.

Seeing Meng Da being so arrogant, all the nobles and celebrities held their breath.

This is going to cause trouble!

Liu Feng smiled calmly: "General Meng knows my heart. I am indeed interested in this daughter recognized by Shen Zhengbei. I have heard that General Meng has never been interested in women, so he will definitely not compete with me."

Meng Da's face turned ugly in an instant.

Liu Feng answered every question frankly and straightforwardly, leaving Meng Da speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became tense, and all the wealthy and famous people didn't dare to breathe heavily.

Seeing this, Shen Dan quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over: "My daughter is returning to her roots today, and it is a great honor for her to be witnessed by both the Deputy Army General and General Meng at the same time."

Many wealthy and famous people also echoed the sentiment, and Shen Dan took the opportunity to invite Meng Da to join them.

Meng Da snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Not long after.

Shin Suk appeared at the banquet wearing a bright red brocade robe.

The first time Meng Da saw Shen Shu, his eyes widened.

Meng Da felt deceived by Shen Dan.

Yesterday, he repeatedly talked about "the magnanimity of Yue Yi", "the talent of Sun Bin", "the style of the famous generals in ancient times", and "trying his best to share your worries", but he actually kept such a beauty in private?

Shen Dan's next words made Meng Da so angry that his eyes were spitting fire.

Shen Dan bowed to Liu Feng and said, "After my daughter Shuji met the deputy general the other day, she has been thinking about him all the time."

"I cannot bear to see my daughter suffer so much grief, so I dare to ask the deputy general to have mercy on her and take her as his concubine."
