The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43 Deng Ai ([-])

Liu Chan has been paying close attention to all the news and trends in Jingzhou, otherwise it would be impossible to get first-hand news of the salt shortage in Jingzhou.Although Military Master Zhuge was not in a hurry, after hearing Liu Chan's suggestion, he felt it was feasible and agreed.

Liu Chan immediately suggested that Mi Fang could handle this matter, and then told him about his going to see Mi Fang, hoping to show merit to Mi Zhu and improve the relationship between them.

Mr. Zhuge is now using Mi Zhu's power to wrestle with the former Yizhou officials. Of course, he wants to convey his goodwill to Mi Zhu, so he naturally agrees to let Mi Fang be in charge of this work.

In fact, Mi Fang has worked with Mi Zhu since he was a child. Although his character is not good and his talent is lacking, he has long been familiar with smuggling salt.After receiving the appointment of Zhuge's military adviser, Mi Fang knew that Liu Chan must have won it for her, so her attitude towards Liu Chan became much more friendly.And he knew even more that when the time came for him to make meritorious service, he immediately agreed to it.

Half a month later, salt smuggled by thieves from Jiangdong began to enter the border of Jingzhou, temporarily alleviating the shortage.One and a half months later, Liu Bei also transferred 50 salt ships from central Shu to Jingzhou according to the request of Zhuge's military adviser, and the salt crisis was finally resolved.Later, Mi Fang made an exception and was appointed by Guan Yu to guard the South Commandery, which had something to do with the credit this time.

Things that made Liu Chan even happier came one after another.It has been rumored in Jiangling City that military division Zhuge wants to fill in new members.But Liu Chan knew that Military Master Zhuge didn't give birth to his son Zhuge Zhan until he was about 46 years old, and that guy was 20 years younger than Liu Chan himself!The newcomer to Zhuge's family is Zhuge Qiao, the second son of Zhuge Jin's elder brother, Zhuge Jun, who is now adopted as Zhuge Jun's son.

In fact, Zhuge Qiao and his elder brother Zhuge Ke have enjoyed talent and fame since they were young in Soochow.However, his elder brother Zhuge Ke is obviously much stronger, so that people think Zhuge Ke is more talented.However, Zhuge Ke is a man of great success, and Zhuge Qiao is gentle and modest. Liu Chan believes that under the careful training of Zhuge Junshi, Zhuge Qiao will surely surpass Zhuge Ke in future achievements.

So Liu Chan, as the future Lord of Shu Han, has such a potential person under his command, how could he not make friends?What's more, Liu Chan has always felt extremely lonely because of the lack of companions of the same age around him.Zhuge Qiao's age is only three years older than his current age, everyone can just be a companion, and even invite him to be a guest or attendant, and let Zhuge Qiao become his confidant directly, wouldn't that be even more important? wonderful?

Liu Chan was excited, and immediately asked Zhao Feng to prepare a car to go to Chunyu Lane in the south of the city. On the way, he did not forget to buy a basket of pastries at his favorite pastry shop, and wanted to give them to Mrs. Huang Yueying.Because Liu Chan has long heard that Mrs. Huang likes to eat cakes the most, just like herself.

When he came to Kongming's house, Liu Chan couldn't even see Mrs. Huang's face. He just asked a servant to tell Liu Chan that Zhuge Qiao was on his way and hadn't arrived in Jiangling City yet.Liu Chan already knew at this time that Mr. Zhuge must be in the government office to handle official business, but what is this Mrs. Huang doing? Why did she deliberately avoid seeing her son when he came?He left the gift and left Kong Ming's house with some regret.

On the way, Zhao Feng secretly told Liu Chan that Mrs. Huang usually would not come out to meet guests, probably because she was too ugly, and told Liu Chan not to take it to heart.It was only then that Liu Chan remembered that this Mrs. Huang really hadn't met him once, and I'm afraid it could only be explained because she was ashamed to meet people.

Mrs. Huang's name is Huang Yueying, a well-known ugly and talented woman in history.Mrs. Huang's father, Mr. Huang Chengyan, a well-known scholar in Jingxiang, valued Mr. Zhuge very much. He wanted to marry his daughter Huang Yueying, so he invited three close friends of Mr. Zhuge's military adviser, Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei and Shi Guangyuan, to go as a matchmaker.

The three of them knew that Huang Yueying was too ugly and were unwilling to go, but Huang Chengyan had to give her face, so they had to reluctantly agree in the end.

After the three of them arrived at Zhuge Village, Meng Shi and the two chattered for a long time, but they didn't say anything. In the end, Cui Zhouping summoned up the courage to tell the matter.Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuge agreed to the marriage with great joy.Because he knew that although Huang Yueying was ugly, she was a virtuous and talented woman.And in this world, there are really very few people who can have the insight of Mr. Zhuge.

Liu Chan suddenly remembered what he saw on the Internet in the 21st century, a super ridiculous man warned: It is better to marry a man with big breasts and no brains than a man with brains and no breasts.This sentence is obviously not applicable to Zhuge Junshi.

While Liu Chan was sighing, the carriage suddenly shook violently and stopped.Then, hearing the voice of the coachman cursing, it seemed that someone blocked the path of the carriage and almost had an accident.

Liu Chan frowned, and opened the curtain to see a mother standing on the side of the road glaring at the coachman, being carried by her son.

This is a very old young man, dressed in tatters, his face is a little ginger and slightly dark, and he seems to be malnourished.

His leg was obviously abducted, and he couldn't stand still, and he was putting his mother off his back.From the looks of it, the man's mother seemed to be very ill, and seemed weak.

Liu Chan told the coachman to shut up quickly, the carriage almost ran into someone, and your coachman is still confident, isn't this bullying others?It is simply unreasonable!Then let the guards on the side go up to help.But the young man didn't appreciate it, he put his mother down, his big eyes were still full of anger.

Liu Chan originally thought that the man would yell at the coachman next time, and he was already prepared in his heart that the coachman would not return his words.No, the man just glared at the coachman for a few times, then limped away with his mother, not even asking for compensation.

Liu Chan couldn't help being curious about this person, so he jumped out of the carriage and followed, saying, "My dear friend, I'm really sorry just now."

The man turned around and saw that it was a teenager who was half a head shorter than himself, who seemed to be the owner of the carriage just now.The man still didn't speak, just nodded to Liu Chan, with a hint of arrogance hidden in his expression.

Liu Chan had no choice but to ask: "My dear brother, your mother is so seriously ill, where are you going? Why don't you let me take you in a carriage, what do you think?"

The man thought Liu Chan was young, and now he was catching up with him to settle accounts with him, but he was so sensible, and his expression softened, and he said, "No... no need. I... I... ...Let's go on our own... just fine."

Liu Chan was overjoyed, it turned out that this person didn't speak just now because he stuttered.He persuaded again: "Dear brother, my younger brother has a lot of friendship with the most famous genius doctor in Jingzhou City, and I am going to their place now, so I can take the opportunity. Besides, you don't want to see your mother working so hard, do you?"

The man looked at his mother, his eyes were a little red, he nodded and said, "I... I want to go... to find that... miracle doctor...Mr. Hua Tuo, sir. I wonder if my son... knows the way?"

Liu Chan watched the other party's mouth open and stammered for a long time before finishing such a sentence. It felt really hard. He quickly admitted that he knew him and was going to recruit him now, and then asked the guards to send his mother to the carriage quickly.

Zhao Feng saw that the young man's foot was only slightly bent, so he volunteered to give him a few massages, and it turned out to be healed.Only then did the three people in one car head towards the hospital.

On the way, Liu Chan saw that the young man stuttered, and it was too hard to talk to him, so he didn't talk too much to him.Later, seeing that his mother and son came to Jiangling City after a long journey, they must be hungry, so they took out the cakes in the car and let the two of them fill their stomachs first.The mother and son should have been born in a poor family, and they ate Liu Chan's cakes in twos. The mother's spirit immediately improved, and she praised that she had never eaten such delicious food.

Liu Chan smiled slightly and started chatting with the old man.It turned out that their mother and son were originally from Nanyang County, Jingzhou. Later, after Cao Jun went to Jingzhou, he moved them to Runan. His son made a living by herding cattle on weekdays.

Liu Chan turned to look at the young man, thinking to himself that this man is really filial, he traveled all the way from Runan to Jiangling City in order to treat his mother, and he must have suffered a lot on the way.

The man was also looking at Liu Chan, and the two met eyes, but the man did not avoid it.Liu Chan couldn't help feeling that this person didn't seem to be an extraordinary person, so he asked the person for his name.The man was still stammering, but Liu Chan finally heard it clearly. He was shocked and stood up from his seat all at once, almost knocking over the roof of the car, and screamed in pain.

It turned out that this person was Deng Ai Deng Shizai who defeated Jiang Wei in another time and space, went deep with a partial army and forced Liu Chan, the Empress of Shu, to surrender!The culprit who might have caused him to be imprisoned in Luoyang by Sima Yan and ridiculed by posterity, unexpectedly met Liu Chan here, what a narrow road for enemies!

Seeing that Liu Chan was in so much pain that his expression changed, the mother quickly asked him to sit down beside her, rubbed his forehead with her hand, and asked, "Son, are you alright?"

Only then did Liu Chan come to his senses, fixed his eyes on Deng Ai, and said in a serious tone: "It's okay." In fact, his heart is now full of murderous intentions for Deng Ai.For a long time, the reason why he has been working hard to prevent himself from becoming the mediocre empress of Shu in history is to be able to get rid of the sad fate destined for Liu Chan in history.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan really wanted to order the guards outside to drag this person out and chop him into a pulp!But it is obviously not allowed to do so now. Killing people without evidence can only be said that he is killing innocent people indiscriminately.Then not only those people around me will be disappointed, but Zhuge Junshi and Liu Bei must also be extremely disappointed.

Liu Chan took a long, deep breath, and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart forcefully.Can't help but secretly sigh, it's really hard to be such a good person, he's always tied up!If only he were Cao Cao.
