"Original?" Situ Xi caught these two keywords.

"Yes, this trip to Linwa is not that simple. Do you know why the Linwa regiment training envoy who took office retired from old age and returned to his hometown? You must know that his age is far from the age of officialdom."

"Why? I've never heard of this."

"Linwa City is built on the mountains, and the mountains outside the city are endless. Recently, there has been a bandit rebellion in Linwa. The imperial court has been carrying out the suppression of bandits for the past month. I thought they would be cleared out within two decades, but

The actual implementation was not as easy as expected. After one month, there was not much progress. The previous regimental training envoy was the person in charge of this matter. He exceeded the time limit and took the initiative to resign. Now His Highness the Third Prince is going.

Take over the suppression of bandits. Moreover, except for a few personal soldiers, His Majesty does not intend to allocate extra soldiers to His Highness. This means that this bandit suppression can only use the Linwa regiment to train troops, and the time limit this time is

January."

"Suppressing bandits? Why have I never heard of this before? Is there any danger?" When Zhongli heard the word "suppressing bandits", his heart suddenly tightened. The Linwa government and the regimental training sergeants in the city had not captured the enemy in a month.

The bandit is probably quite powerful, and she is very concerned about Situ Xi's safety now. After all, the past few days have been too restless.

"Don't worry, Miss, there is no danger in this matter. After all, I am serving as the deputy to His Highness the Third Prince. If the risk is extremely high, Your Majesty will not let His Highness go." Wei Lan said to Zhongli with a smile.

This is true, even if they really want to suppress the bandits, they will definitely not let the third prince go there in person wearing armor. At most, he will be allowed to take charge of the overall situation.

"Bandits... this is a bit nerve-wracking." Situ Xi originally thought that he was just going to hang out with him this time, but he didn't expect that Emperor Chu actually arranged a task for Zuo Minghu. It seems that this time before Linwa

It won't be boring anymore.

"Don't worry, uncle, this is not a difficult task." Wei Lan smiled easily and signaled to Situ Xi not to worry about it.

After saying that, he stopped chatting with Situ Xi about the details of suppressing bandits. After taking a look at the sky, he stood up and picked up the folding fan on the table. He was ready to say goodbye to Situ Xi.

"Uncle, what time will we go tomorrow? I will come to look for you by then. It is already late today. I am only here to meet you. Now that I have said hello, it is time for me to go back. I will not disturb my uncle anymore.

Already."

"We're leaving now? Why don't we stay here for dinner?" Situ Xi saw that Wei Lan was about to leave in the middle of his words, and was about to say something to persuade him to stay.

"No, Yuji has to go back home to pay homage to his father." Wei Lan once again handed over his hand, declining Situ Xi's kindness.

"Then let's set it at 6 o'clock tomorrow. I'll have to do some exercise earlier."

"I understand, uncle, I'll take my leave. Please stay."

…

Xuan'an Palace, in a study.

Emperor Chu Zuo Duyuan was sitting cross-legged in front of his desk wearing a thin shirt with his hair scattered.

A bright lamp was burning on the desk. He lowered his head and was reading a few manuscripts on the desk. There was a person sitting on his knees in front of him. This person was the third prince Zuo Minghu. Except for two people in the study,

There was also a dark-haired middle-aged scribe sitting on one side.

"The general trend of the world will be divided if it is united for a long time, and it will unite if it is divided for a long time... This sentence can be said to be a small statement but a great meaning."

The manuscript in front of Emperor Chu is the first three chapters of "Three Kingdoms". This manuscript was not brought by Zuo Minghu, but copied by Emperor Chu's people. Today, the jade wine in the center also has his informants.

"Father, this story is indeed extremely wonderful, and the storyteller's story is also excellent. Today's storytelling in the center of Jade Wine is truly wonderful." Zuo Minghu also echoed in praising this story.

Emperor Chu raised his head and glanced at Zuo Minghu, but did not answer his words. He turned to look at the middle-aged scribe on one side and said, "Hongyuan, what do you think?"

The same manuscript is also placed on the small table in front of the scribe named Hongyuan. He has just read the contents on this paper once and is now reading it carefully for the second time.

When Emperor Chu asked him, he put down the manuscript in his hand.

"Interesting and wonderful. The opening chapter is grand, the structure is large, and it doesn't seem like fiction. Many details of the story are described in detail, as if they really happened... The most important thing is that the language in it is quite wonderful, and there are many comments about the characters that are very readable.

It's hard to forget once you read it. For example, Xu Shao of Runan commented on Cao Cao's words, 'A capable minister who governs the world, a traitor who is a traitor in troubled times.' When you read it, you will feel that this character comes to life on the page."

The middle-aged scribe first made some comments on the writing skills and story structure of the article. After finishing speaking, he paused briefly, then raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Chu.

"However, the most impressive thing is the wisdom contained in this story. Each of the characters in the story has its own characteristics, and they all plan for their own positions. Their confrontation is not unexciting... After reading the first three chapters, it is quite fascinating.

I have some misconceptions, and when I read this book, I feel as if I am not reading a storybook, but a new-style history book."

"Your Highness, may I ask who wrote these words?"

"Uncle He, the author of this book is a hermit. Situ Xi, the nine kings of Zhao Kingdom, met him by chance and asked him for the complete book."

When Zuo Minghu heard the middle-aged scribe's question, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately answered him after some words.

"I heard that there are hundreds of chapters in this book. If each chapter is as long as the first three chapters, it must have taken the hermit years of hard work. Father, I have asked Situ Fuyu for a full text.

I hope the manuscript will be delivered to you tomorrow."

"Good." Zuo Duyuan gave a rare nod to Zuo Minghu. He was indeed quite interested in the book "Three Kingdoms".

And his "good" word made Zuo Minghu feel as happy as if he had received a great reward. It had been a long time since he had been recognized by the Emperor of Chu.

"Are you a hermit? Do you have a name?" He Hongyuan asked Zuo Minghu.

"This... after hearing that the man was a hermit, Minghu stopped asking Fuyu for details."

Hearing this answer, He Hongyuan and Emperor Chu exchanged a look. Neither of them considered the possibility that this book was written by Situ Xi. They were just wondering who this so-called hermit was and who wrote this book.

What's the purpose.

Emperor Chu sorted out the manuscripts in his hands, put them aside, and then waved towards Zuo Minghu, "Hu'er, please step aside first. I have something to discuss with your Uncle He alone."

"My son, I accept the order. My father, Uncle He, and Ming Hu will retire first."

Zuo Minghu walked very neatly. After receiving the instructions from Emperor Chu, he quickly walked out of the study.

After Zuo Minghu left, Emperor Chu took the two pages at the top of the manuscript on the desk into his hand. He looked at He Hongyuan aside with a solemn expression.

"Hong Yuan, have you noticed Zhang Jiao, a talented scholar in that book?"

"Of course." He Hongyuan nodded, "Your Majesty probably wants to talk about the "Essential Art of Taiping"."

"Exactly, the article mentions the 'three volumes of the Book of Heaven'. According to its meaning, it seems that these three volumes of the Book of Heaven are collectively called "The Essential Art of Taiping"... Could this so-called hermit really have news about the Book of Heaven?"

"It's hard to say. The legend of the Heavenly Book is too vague. The last time I heard about it was twenty years ago. Maybe the author of this book made up the title based on rumors. But having said that, there are not many people in the world who know the rumors about the Heavenly Book.
