Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"...It's hard to capture him alive. Prepare your bows and arrows."

A noisy sound was heard, and the officers and soldiers were divided into two teams. One team went to capture the heroes, while the other stayed behind to prevent the enemy from luring the tiger away from the mountain or making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

After this group of righteous men had passed by Liu Bei, he took a step forward, completely ignoring Chen Xu's obstruction.

"be careful……"

"It'll be fine."

Just when Chen Xu was thinking about which direction he should go if Liu Bei was really captured...

Liu Bei in front suddenly turned around, without any unnecessary movements, he just stood there and stared at the front with a "deeply affectionate" look.

This is the decisive blow.

As soon as the group of officers and soldiers who had swarmed in landed, they looked up and saw his face. Then they were all stunned and their running speed slowed down a lot.

Even though many of the officers and soldiers are straight, those peach blossom eyes seem to have a kind of magic. As long as you look into their eyes, you will be controlled for several seconds.

"What are you doing!"

Fortunately, the leading officer reacted immediately. He was about to step forward and scold Liu Bei fiercely, but for some reason, the words turned softly when they reached his lips:

"Hey kid, please move aside. The uncles are chasing the murderer. It's very dangerous."

"Is this okay?"

Miss Chen Xu, who had already stepped one foot in the other direction, ready to moisten it at any time, silently retracted her foot after seeing this scene.

"Ok."

Liu Bei felt that he had delayed enough, so he bowed and took a few steps back.

The group of officers and soldiers couldn't help but take a few more glances as they passed by, and their overall speed still dropped significantly.

only……

"It's useless," Chen Xu cruelly expressed Liu Bei's inner thoughts. "These criminals were probably targeted as soon as they entered Luoyang. Even if they managed to avoid these soldiers with your help, they wouldn't be able to escape the others."

Where is Luoyang City?

The capital of the world.

This is where the emperor lives. Even though the empire has declined a lot, it is not a place that can be provoked by ordinary wanted criminals.

At least in Luoyang, apart from the first three rows of people in the court who could cause trouble, no one else could do anything.

"Even so..." Liu Bei glanced at the equally skilled turtle and continued, "Seeing someone trapped right before my eyes, and being able to rescue them, I hesitated out of concern. I feel guilty."

He just saw it and helped out, as for what happened afterwards... he had no way to deal with it.

Even if all the secret guards were sent to rescue them, the final result would be that they would be buried with them.

The current emperor still holds great power, and no one can slap him in the face in Luoyang City.

What's more, this rescue is already risky enough. If someone is interested, they can easily frame him with the crime of treason, which is very much what the Jian family would do.

Today the military affairs here have been handed over to Jian Shuo. So when the officers and soldiers report the case, he will definitely know that a handsome man happened to stop the officers and soldiers for a while.

In this way, the charges will be brought.

Decisions should be made early to avoid unexpected dangers.

The main reason why Liu Bei, a poor boy, was able to make it in Zhuo County was that he had "paranoia", which made him magnify his opponents' sinister intentions infinitely.

Unfortunately, almost all the vicious people in the world are in high positions.

If you want to fight against it, you must be cautious.

He had just caused a big disturbance at the Bishui Pavilion together with Cao Cao. Even if the Jian family didn't know that he had discovered something, they would still have a desire for "revenge".

The Cao family might have had secret dealings with him, so Jian Shuo would definitely not kill Cao Cao, but he was different.

He was just a small figure from Zhuo County. It doesn't matter if he was killed. There are so many people dying every day in the world, not just one.

It is not advisable to stay here for long. After talking with Cao Cao tonight, I have to find time to leave.

Well, as for Senior Sister Gongsun’s assessment… I can only say sorry to her.

"Oh, I didn't expect Xuande to be such a righteous man," Chen Xu tutted his lips and said with a smile, "Perhaps you could be among those righteous men?"

"Don't say such useless words."

Liu Bei shook his head and ignored her. He just took a few steps forward and talked to the officers and soldiers who stayed behind, and handed them some money.

An officer immediately stepped forward and helped the young man who had fallen to the ground up, and together with Liu Bei, he placed him on a chair in the tavern.

Liu Bei also took the opportunity to see the shopkeeper Chen there, who was being questioned by the officers and soldiers.

"So, you were kidnapped by them?"

"Ah."

"So do you know what their names are?"

"Ah."

"…What else can you say besides um?"

The strange old man was stunned for a second or two, then replied: "Oh."

"..."

The officers and soldiers were so angry that they were about to swear, but their country has always respected the elderly. If there was no solid evidence to prove that Manager Chen had any connection with the thieves, they really couldn't use force against him.

Whether it is means or words.

If you dare to beat an old man to death or insult an old man today, you will be criticized by famous people all over the world tomorrow, your boss will fire you because of your reputation, and your parents will also be on guard against whether you will murder them.

So the officers and soldiers were helpless and could only remain in a stalemate.

When the shopkeeper Chen saw that the officers and soldiers had nothing to ask, he subconsciously looked towards the city gate. Just as he was about to fall into a daze, he caught a glimpse of Liu Bei at the door.

"..."

The young man with his back to the light was gently placing the unconscious young man on the chair. His handsome face seemed to overlap with the old man in his memory.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes sparkled with tears, and he uttered incoherently, "Mr. Chen, you...you're back?"

Tears flowed down my face.

That face, which had long been covered with wrinkles, seemed to have a red glow flowing back, and those eyes, which had been cloudy for half a lifetime, seemed to brighten a little.

This old man, who already had one foot halfway into the ground, actually looked a bit frail.

"Mr. Chen?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, the officer who came in with Liu Bei casually explained, "He's talking about Chen Fan and Chen Zhongju, two of the 'Three Lords' who were once famous throughout the world and were role models for the people of the world... I guess this old man got it mixed up and mistook you for an old friend."

"Mr. Chen, why are you back so late?"

Shopkeeper Chen was still talking nonsense: "This isn't Mr. Chen's fault. It's all because You Ping didn't listen to your advice! But, it doesn't matter... We still have Xu Ruzi... No, he's gone too... But it doesn't matter, we still have... still have..."

nothing left.

The old friends around me have either passed away or died, and the brothers who used to drink and chat happily with me can no longer lift their glasses.

The officers and soldiers present realized that the old man seemed to be no ordinary person, but no one stepped forward to arrest him. Instead, they silently bowed and retreated.

In the past, Mr. Chen was famous all over the world. Although he was defeated by the eunuchs, his reputation still lives on.

No one would really feel bad for an old person who can't walk.

Liu Bei stood up in awe and bowed three times before he stood up and said, "I am no longer the Chen Jun of yesterday, but the Liu Xuande of today."

"...Liu Xuande?"

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled leisurely: "Really? So you're not Mr. Chen... Haha, but kid, it doesn't matter, it's all the same."

Chapter of Kindness: Chapter 24: What are you doing?

When Liu Bei appeased the shopkeeper Chen and walked out of the tavern, he found that Chen Xu was no longer outside the door.

“…I see, it’s already moist.”

Liu Bei was not surprised at all. After all, when the Jian family saw the news about him and accused him of a crime, the people around him might also be implicated.

He shook his head and was about to find another restaurant to eat when someone suddenly patted his left shoulder. He looked back to his left but there was no figure, but a foreign object was handed to him from the right.

It's a sesame cake.

"Hey, you finally came out."

Chen Xu handed the hot pancake to him, then said with a smile: "Oh, I hope you don't think that Xu took the opportunity to slip away and is feeling sad alone~"

"..."

Liu Bei resisted the urge to pin the fox to the ground and lowered his head to chew on the pancake.

He was indeed very hungry.

From the time I entered Luoyang City to the Bishui Pavilion and then returned to Luoyang City, I didn't eat anything the whole time.

"According to the rules, the soldiers will seal this place off and will not reopen until the thieves are apprehended."

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't respond, Chen Xu took the initiative to speak: "Xuan De, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat here for a while... But it doesn't matter, Xu can come to your house and cook for you."

"?"

Liu Bei was almost choked by this: "No, are you serious?"

"Really."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "I'm just curious about something. Once I figure it out, I'll leave... But before that, I'm afraid I've disturbed you."

She is already extremely beautiful, and with this smile, she looks even more charming.

He is half a head taller than Cao Cao, but unfortunately the watermelon is not as full as his, but it is still enough to look down on others.

That face looked like a fox with ulterior motives.

If Liu Bei had not known that although this world was full of changes, there were indeed no alien races such as demons, sea creatures, etc., he would have mistakenly thought that the man in front of him was a jade-faced fox.

Although it’s not bad actually.

Liu Bei glanced at the fox and secretly guessed that the belly of most foxes is pink, but he wondered if Chen Xu's was the same.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"If you want, you should have a piece of land."

Liu Bei bowed and said, "To be honest with you, Wenhe, I came to Luoyang to study with you. I eat, drink and live in the school. I don't have a room in Luoyang."

"I see..." Chen Xu rolled his eyes. "Then I wonder who Xuande chose as his master?"

You are not trying to poach people.

Liu Bei looked puzzled, but answered honestly, "My teacher is Doctor Lu Zigan."

"..."

Upon hearing the name, Chen Xu felt choked for a moment, and immediately began to chew the pancake in his hand obediently.

You can’t afford to offend this person. You really can’t afford to offend this person.

Although the great scholar Lu Zhi had not yet officially become an official, his reputation had already spread throughout the literary circle, and many people knew that Zhuo County had produced a man named Lu Zigan who was well-versed in ancient and modern times.

Judging from past experiences, this person will surely be recruited by the imperial court in the near future. Lu Zigan is not a hermit who lives a carefree life, but a man with great ambitions.

Many people are busy trying to curry favor with her, let alone trying to poach her.

Even if we look at it from the perspective of the rules, a commoner like Liu Bei was only a registered disciple, but it was indeed not a good thing as it ruined the atmosphere.

Chen Xu did not really want to accept Liu Bei as her disciple. She knew that she did not have the ability to do so. She just wanted to take the opportunity to recommend a great scholar from their place to trick Liu Bei into going to Liangzhou to study.

After all, Luoyang is too dangerous, and the clan may be wiped out if you are not careful.

Too scary!

"Are you honest now?"

Liu Bei looked at her with some amusement, while Chen Xu made a statement - he stuffed a whole pancake into his mouth and puffed out his cheeks.

This part has changed from a fox to a sullen hamster.

As Liu Bei watched, he subconsciously reached out his hand out of curiosity and poked the hamster.
