    Xuchang, south of the city, Yicheng Hou Mansion!

    Liu Bei's mansion is definitely the simplest, shabbiest, and least attractive mansion among the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, and there is no one!

    A single courtyard with a black gate, five main rooms, and more than a dozen side rooms. The house is low and old, and even a lot of tiles on the roof have fallen off. The courtyard is also dilapidated, with only a few dead trees.  They all look half-dead and extremely depressed!

    There are very few people living here. In total, they are the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Mr. Sun Qian, the chief clerk, plus Mi Zhu, who has an arrow wound on his thigh, and less than ten servants. They are all basic.  There are no chefs, grooms, concierges, etc., no extra idle people.

    Compared with Liu Bei's official position and title, this kind of residence and treatment are very unmatched. It's not that Cao Cao meant to be disrespectful. In fact, after Liu Bei arrived in Xuchang and went to the palace to meet the emperor, the Prime Minister's Office issued an order to give him the white tiger on the west side of the palace.  A mansion was arranged on the street, with hundreds of servants at its disposal. Not only was it convenient for transportation and going to court, it was also home to powerful people, making it easy for colleagues to communicate with each other.

    Liu Bei took his two brothers to take a look, and then he tried his best to refuse to move in. The apparent reason was, "I haven't made any contribution, so I don't dare to be rewarded. As a member of the Han clan, I should be more strict."  Discipline yourself and wait"

    Then he ran to the civilian area in the south of the city and spent some time to find such a small private courtyard. He lived a life of poverty and self-restraint. He didn't even hang up the plaque of 'General Zuo's Mansion.  No one passing by would have thought that a big Han emperor's uncle lived here!  ¡¯

    Guan and Zhang also asked in private, "Brother, why do you have to come here to suffer if you don't want to live in the mansion?"

    As a result, Liu Bei remained silent for a while before answering in a low voice, "Didn't you two wise brothers realize that diagonally opposite the mansion is the mansion of the Governor-General Xiao Yi? With the 'Greedy Wolf' as his companion day and night, Brother Fool will have trouble sleeping and eating!"  "

    Guan and opened their heads and said yes, not to ask more, from behind closed doors, practicing martial arts every morning and evening, leisurely, watching the changes in the political and political situation of the DPRK.

    In the small courtyard, the third general Zhang Fei was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and squatting next to the well. He was polishing arrow clusters on a crescent-shaped white stone. As he went back and forth, there was a "kaka" sound. Next to him, Guan Yu was correcting the arrows.  Several crossbows were drawn into the shape of a full moon from time to time, adjusting their strength. They were preparing for the 'winter hunting' in a few days. The little emperor appointed their eldest brother to accompany them. If they wanted to show off their skills on the hunting ground, there was no good way.  How can a strong bow and sharp arrows do this?

    As for the eldest brother Liu Bei, he was staring at a few dead trees in the yard, muttering something softly in his mouth, "~~The trees in the square courtyard are 'trapped'. I don't know when I can get out of them."  , the dragon returns to the sea, the tiger enters the deep mountains~~"

    "Sir!Sir Liu~~"

    The porter Lao Yu came over dragging a lame leg, holding a gilded invitation in his hand. He was originally a soldier under Liu Bei's tent. He was injured on the battlefield and became lame, so he stayed with him and became a porter. He was brought to Xuchang  Come on, one of the few loyal people!

    Other people who send concierges select those with nimble legs and feet. Only Liu Bei is special. He just chooses one who walks "turtle slowly". However, being slow has its advantages. Once any uninvited guests come, the lame person will always be in front.  With support, Liu Bei will have more time to prepare. Although the tortoise cannot run as fast as the hare, it will live longer.

    "Why are you so panicked? Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

    "No!" The concierge Lao Yu looked at his lame leg depressedly. At this speed, he seemed to be panicking, but he still obeyed and slowed down~ "His Majesty Fuwan sent someone to deliver the invitation. Tonight  My colleagues in the mansion are having a banquet, General Zuo is invited to attend!"

    "Oh?" Liu Bei took the invitation and looked at it, but it was written by Fu Wan himself. The handwriting was delicate and graceful, with flying dragons and phoenixes. He felt like he wanted to fly out, showing a strong sense of pride~~~

    The colleagues invited to the banquet must be those officials who supported the young emperor in the Golden Palace to perform the 'crown ceremony' in advance. It seems that they are really connected together, and they are a political force that cannot be underestimated. But should I go?

    "Go? You might get caught up in this political turmoil; if you don't go, you might find a great opportunity and offend a lot of people"

    Holding the invitation in hand, Liu Bei thought for a long time and couldn't make a decision!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a while!

    "Sir, sir, it's not good!" Lame Lao Yu came to complain again. His two legs of different lengths actually ran very fast.?, with a look of horror on his face, "That guy who eats dead human flesh is here, and he's bringing a lot of soldiers with him!"

    ¡°Well, the one who eats dead human flesh? Who is here?¡±

    "It's 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', the murderous Governor-General Xiao Yi is here!"

    "Hiss!" Liu Bei stood up suddenly, and Guan and Zhang beside him also stopped. When the three of them looked at each other, they were all slightly surprised. What was he doing?

    "Let's go out with me to greet you!" Liu Bei immediately hid the gilded invitation in his arms. After thinking about it, he ran back to the bedroom and took out the half-knitted bamboo hat. While continuing to knit, he took Guan and  The two Zhangs went out to welcome guests!

    Outside the gate of the mansion, Xiao Yi was wearing a black and gold hundred-flower war robe, a golden crown inlaid with several pearls, soft deerskin boots on his feet, and a leopard-print belt around his waist, with the Blood Wave Dragon Slashing Sword hanging on it, a little black face.  There was even a thin layer of powder on his face, and he was dressed quite coquettishly, with a large group of personal guards following behind him. With such a demeanor, people who didn't know him would think he was the best young master of that aristocratic family.

    "Haha! The unknown Grand Governor ~ I'm here to visit you. I'm sorry if I missed you from afar, so I apologize in person!"

    "Haha, Mr. Xuande is too polite. You and I are close friends. Why should we care about these common etiquette?"

    Liu Bei wore a dark gray coarse cloth with an ordinary silk and linen belt around his waist. He had no crown and hat. His hair was pulled up casually with a wooden hairpin. He also had a pair of black hemp shoes at his feet. He also held a half-knitted bamboo hat in his hand.  This look is not much different from that of Lao Yu, the lame gatekeeper. Who believes that he is a dignified 'General Zuo, Marquis of Yicheng Ting'?

    After the two of them saluted, they looked at each other again. They couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time they thought, "This grandson looks really alike!"

    Xiao Yi looked at Liu Bei, "A noble clan member of the Han clan, in order to keep a low profile and protect himself, actually dressed up like a straw sandal seller. He is really shameless. It's a pity that such a little trick can't be hidden from my brother's piercing eyes"  By the way, this guy used to sell straw sandals, no wonder he looks so lifelike~~"

    Liu Bei looked at Xiao Yi, "He is obviously a murderous butcher, but he has to pretend to be a good man in the world. Do you think that if you put a sheep's skin on a bad wolf, it will turn around and eat grass? The strong smell of blood on his body makes him feel like a good man.  You can smell it from two miles away, who are you kidding!"

    He was spitting at each other wildly in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all. The two of them were still talking and laughing.

    "I wonder what the great governor would do if he came to this humble abode?"

    "I heard that General Zuo has moved to a new residence, so I came to the warm house to express my friendship as a friend!"

    The so-called "warm house" means that after a person moves, his relatives and friends will send one or two small gifts, furniture and the like to express their popularity and congratulate him.

    "Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief, please!" Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just a gift or two, it's not a big deal!

    "You're welcome, Mr. Xuande. Come on, let the team behind you go faster. Don't wait any longer!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and some soldiers immediately ran back. Soon, a motorcade appeared at the gate of the house.  forward!

    When others come to the hothouse, it is enough to bring only one or two pieces of furniture, but Xiao Yi is not like that. Dozens of soldiers came over on several large cars. The number and variety of gifts on them are even more impressive.  stunned¡­¡­

    Beds, tables, screens, incense burners, iron cauldrons, tableware, wine sets, animal skin bedding, and even gold-painted toilets were all prepared. The soldiers went back and forth for a long time to unload them. What they knew was that Xiao Yilai was in the 'hothouse'.  I don¡¯t know, you thought he also came here like home?

    Not to mention, there was a group of soldiers at the door, who actually unloaded two large stone lions, one on each side of the door. They were tall and mighty. They also replaced the black door with red paint, which looked so eye-catching, and  A gilded plaque was also hung up~~Yicheng Hou Mansion!

    Well, after dressing up like this, even the common people who don't know how to read know that there is a nobleman living here. Driven by curiosity, he will take a few more glances even if he has nothing to do, which is equivalent to  There are countless pairs of eyes around, monitoring day and night~~

    "Haha, the Governor is too kind and too expensive" In the yard, Liu Bei smiled and kept thanking him, but his heart was full of bitterness. Now it was difficult to keep a low profile and protect himself?

    "General Zuo, you don't have to be polite. You and I are ministers in the same palace, and this is what we should do!" Xiao Yi also had a smile on his face, and he had big ears. Now let's see how low-key you are. Just stay in Xuchang!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
