After leaving Liu Qi for dinner, chatting for a while, Liu Bei sent Liu Qi to the door and sent someone to take Liu Qi out of the camp.
Looking at Liu Qi's back as he walked away, Liu Bei suddenly felt a little moved.
He said to Mi Zhu, ten years ago, when I asked to meet Liu Biao in Luoyang, I never thought that this day would happen.
Liu Biao's son actually came to beg me.
Mi Zhu smiled and said, "This is because the envoy made the right choice."
"Yes." Liu Bei sighed, recalling his experiences over the past two years, he was both relieved and a little scared.
If I had been stubborn at that time and chose to surrender to Yuan Shao, what would be the result now?
I dare not think about it.
The two of them talked for a while and Zhuge Jin was back.
He was in a relaxed mood and did not say anything polite. He gave the answer directly.
Xu Huang wants to compete for the first place, Guan Yu is very busy and he cannot have time to help. He can only find a way to train soldiers.
However, this is a small matter and will not affect the future of the envoy. The emperor is very satisfied with the envoy, and the established plan has not changed. After pacifying Jizhou, the envoy can advance eastward.
With Jizhou, the support the imperial court can provide for the envoy will be greater.
Judging from the situation in Guanzhong, diving the fields will help increase the enthusiasm of the people to farm, and the output will also be significantly improved. The court will receive more taxes, and the army will have more supplies to use during the expedition.
If you want to talk about the hope of the court, it is to let the emperor explore better ways, reduce resistance, accelerate the implementation of Dutian in Xuzhou, and strive to restore Xuzhou as soon as possible and become the base for the army's eastern expedition.
Not only that, the court also praised the actions of the Mi brothers very much, believing that they had a good start. For this reason, the court planned to expand the harbor in Qu County and rebuild the road directly to Chang'an in Qu County, laying the foundation for communicating east-west commerce.
When Mi Zhu heard this, he was overjoyed.
He was a businessman and naturally knew the huge benefits behind the court's actions.
In order to support Liu Bei and defend Pengcheng, he almost lost all his money. However, with this road and the expanded harbor, he could recover his vitality and even have more wealth in the most ten years.
"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise." Mi Zhu saluted repeatedly in the direction of the imperial camp.
"Don't worry, there is better news." Zhuge Jin couldn't resist the excitement and laughed out loud. "The emperor wants to see you, and he may ask you for some business affairs."
Mi Zhu widened his eyes. "Take it serious?"
Zhuge Jin understood Mi Zhu's mood and nodded vigorously.
As a businessman, his career is limited to the state and other officials. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have a chance to see a driver, let alone the emperor asks him for business affairs.
Even if it is a polite word, this is a rare honor and can be written into local chronicles and family traditions in the future.
I have to say that Mi Zhu is worthy of being a giant businessman and has completed another investment with abundant returns.
Mi Zhu was ecstatic and Liu Bei was also very happy.
Mi Zhu is his wife and brother-in-law, and his most important sponsor. The emperor attaches importance to Mi Zhu because he values him.
It seems that it is necessary to adjust Mrs. Moe’s identity.
The next morning, Liu Bei received the edict.
He immediately rushed to the imperial camp with Mi Zhu.
Someone was waiting outside the Imperial Camp Gate. As soon as Liu Bei and Mi Zhu arrived, they were led into the camp and came to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was wearing a strong outfit, not wearing a crown, and simply wore a headscarf.
He had just finished morning exercises, his face was slightly sweaty, his face was rosy, and his eyes were bright.
Liu Bei, Mi Zhu stepped forward to greet him and bowed to the end.
Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei with a smile.
After Cao Cao and Sun Ce, the last of the Three Kingdoms and the Big Three finally appeared on the stage. In terms of appearance, Liu Bei was stronger than Cao Cao and did not have Sun Ce's coach. In terms of temperament, Liu Bei was not as good as Cao Cao, but was calmer than Sun Ce.
No matter how you compare, he is the one in the middle and is not outstanding.
Except for his knee-length arms.
Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help him and said, "I heard that the envoy is good at using two swords. Can it open my eyes?"
Liu Bei bowed and said, "Your Majesty does not mind my inexplicable skills, so how dare I hide my own personalities? It's just that I came to see you and never carried a sword. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xie waved, and a tiger came over, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"Open and take a look." Liu Xie said.
Liu Bei opened the wooden box in confusion and found that there was a pair of swords in the box. In terms of length and size, it was exactly the same as the two swords he usually used. However, from the pattern and decoration of the sword, this pair of swords was more sophisticated than he used.
"His Majesty?"
"This is the meeting gift I have prepared for you. Please try it. Are you there any hand? The size should be the same, but it is a little heavier." Liu Xie smiled and said, "There are some Tieying from the Western Regions inside."
Liu Bei felt nervous.
Double sword heavy footwork is usually used for private fights and there is no chance to use it on the battlefield. There are many people who know that he can use double swords, but I have really seen him use double swords and even know that his double swords are of only a handful of sizes.
.
Even Fazheng could not know.
After he met Fa Zheng, he never used the double swords.
But the emperor not only knew that he was good at using two swords, but also knew the size of the sword. He was probably arranged by his side and had the opportunity to get in touch with his sword.
But he knew nothing about this person's existence.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Bei did not dare to be careless, took out his two swords, took two steps back, left the emperor for more than a meter, and played a sword flower with both hands.
As the emperor said, the sword was slightly heavier, and the others were very good at it, and the center of gravity was almost the same as his two swords.
From this we can see that the person who knows swordsmanship is still a sword master, and may even be a sword master.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of who this person might be.
Could it be Guan Yu or Zhao Yun?
They had seen the Double Swords, but they would not reveal such information to the emperor. If they asked them, they would also tell themselves in advance to make themselves mentally prepared.
"Good sword!" Liu Bei praised: "I dare to show my shame in front of His Majesty."
"Wait." Liu Xie raised his long sword and smiled slightly. "What's the point of dancing alone? I'll try it with you."
Liu Bei was shocked. "Your Majesty, you must not use it..."
"It's okay, you can't hurt me if you do it." Liu Xie said, taking a deep breath, the smile on his face dissipated, and his momentum changed.
Liu Bei was facing him and felt the deepest.
The emperor, who was just as gentle as the spring breeze, suddenly became a different person, and with invisible pressure, he was breathless.
Is this the power of the emperor?
Liu Bei's forehead was sweating slightly. He looked aside and happened to see Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun was a little surprised, he nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't have to worry.
Liu Bei knew that Zhao Yun was a steady person. Since Zhao Yun said there was no problem, there must be no problem.
Think about it, the emperor is surrounded by not only masters like Zhao Yun, but also great swordsmen like Wang Yue. He practices day by day and is far ahead of him. How could his martial arts be poor?
Liu Bei calmed down and put on a defensive posture.
"Please give me advice."
Liu Xie was not polite either. With a step, he jumped forward, swung a long knife in his hand, sprinkled a silver light, slashing towards Liu Bei's confidant.
Liu Bei calmed down and danced his swords, fighting with Liu Xie.
