Chapter 137 Frozen to death, then returned to the crew

"Second brother? Han Sheng?"

After Liu Bei, Jia Xu and Ma Teng inspected the autumn harvest in the counties, they returned home.

They arrived at the gate of Wuyun County, but saw Guan Yu and Huang Zhong standing there like trees. They looked at each other with embarrassment written all over their faces, and they didn't even hear Liu Bei's call.

Liu Bei was puzzled and thought: What on earth happened?
Looking around, Liu Bei noticed the short Zhang Shiping standing aside.

Liu Bei put his hands behind his back, walked to Zhang Shiping calmly, and said softly:
"Shi Ping, what happened just now?"

Zhang Shiping was startled. When he found out it was Liu Bei, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He said tremblingly, "General, just now I said Captain Huang, your comrades in arms when you were a soldier in Jingzhou wanted to treat you to a meal. And then, then it was what you saw."

"puff"

Liu Bei couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha"

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were still organizing their words and thinking about how to explain when Liu Bei's sudden laughter completely interrupted their thoughts.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong spoke at the same time

"Brother/Lord, why are you laughing?!"

"Second brother, Han Sheng, let's talk in the room. Don't delay the people's journey."

Back in the courtyard, the four little ones in the courtyard should have been taken to the newly built school by Sun Qian.

Liu Bei brewed three cups of tea and gave one to Guan Yu and one to Huang Zhong.

Liu Bei sipped his tea and asked, "It was just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong showed surprised expressions.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Well, I have an idea. You can each take a few pieces of jute paper and write down your concerns from the first meeting."

Hearing Liu Bei's method, both of them nodded.

soon.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong walked out of the room one after another and placed jute paper in front of Liu Bei.

Picking up the jute paper, Liu Bei let out an unkind laugh, which made Guan Yu and Huang Zhong feel itchy but also a little nervous.

"I see, I see. It is just as I expected, exactly as I expected, exactly as I expected."

Guan Yu thought to himself: Brother, you are making me so anxious.

"Okay, second brother, Han Sheng, you two take a look and you will understand."

".good."

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong took a deep breath. Both of them had led the troops in the front line. They were peerless generals who never frowned even when attacked by swords. But at this moment, they were extremely nervous and secretly swallowed mouthful of saliva.

When the two saw clearly the words on each other's jute paper, their pupils dilated instantly and they were shocked beyond words.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other in shock.

"turn out to be."

"Han Sheng."

"Clouds long."

"We guessed wrong?!!!"

Guan Yu knows more about the content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms than Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong only saw the version shot by Zhen De. The short film shot by Zhen De is closer to the Records of the Three Kingdoms.

However, in both the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu said, "A true man will never associate with old soldiers."

The only difference is that the former is the Five Tigers, while the latter misses Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei asked Guan Yu with a smile, "Yun Chang, what do you think of Han Sheng?"

Guan Yu said seriously: "Han Sheng has been on the battlefield for a long time and is extremely brave. If we compare riding and shooting, I am not as good as Han Sheng. He is truly a fierce general of the time!"

Liu Bei nodded and asked Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, what do you think of Yun Chang?"

Huang Zhong said solemnly: "Yun Chang stabbed Yan Liang to death in the midst of thousands of troops. In terms of bravery, no one in the world can compare to him! He is truly a famous general of the time!"

"Yun Chang, Han Sheng, now that you two have some understanding of the future, you have both had misunderstandings. Who can guarantee that you in the book have also 'misunderstood'?" Liu Bei pondered, "According to the book, second brother, you and Han Sheng already appreciated each other in the battle of Changsha. How could you really despise Han Sheng's old soldier status later? Could it be that you made such an excuse to let the soldiers know Han Sheng's bravery? For example, the soldiers were all surprised, who is Huang Zhong? How could he be on the same level as you. At this time, someone explained, don't you know Huang Zhong? He is a general as powerful as Lian Po. He killed Xiahou Yuan in the Dingjun Mountain formation!"

Guan Yu suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Huang Zhong also nodded, but he noticed the word "book" in Liu Bei's words, so he asked, "My lord, what is this book?"

"Book"

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "It should be a novelist who wrote about our life, but the content is a little untrue. Han Sheng, if you want to know more, you can go find my third brother and let him tell you."

Huang Zhong nodded.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two smiled at each other.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, winter has arrived. The sky seems to be trembling with cold, and a heavy snowfall has plunged the world into a blanket of white.

Liu Bei and the officials of the county government cleared the snow from the streets.

As they swept to the county gate.

Liu Bei, standing on the city wall, found that something seemed to be wrong outside the city. He looked up and saw a black, round object on the white snowy plain.
That is
Human heads???!
Liu Bei's heart sank. He pushed open the city gate and walked out quickly. The officials didn't understand what was going on, so they immediately chose to follow Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's feet stepped on the thick snow, leaving one footprint after another. As he got closer, the uneasiness in his heart grew, and even the footprints he left became deeper.

When Liu Bei came to the 'stone'.

The thing I least wanted to see appeared. It was not a stone at all, but a woman's head.

It stung his eyes so much that they hurt, and all the heat in his body disappeared.

Liu Bei remained silent. He immediately squatted down and used all his strength to start digging away the snow around the woman's head.

While waiting for the officials to arrive and ask Liu Bei what happened.

The words on the tip of his tongue were shattered by the scene in front of him. In front of General Liu was a frozen woman, wearing a thin short brown, curled up in a ball, holding a several-month-old baby in her arms. Large areas of skin were exposed, red and swollen.
Liu Bei suddenly stood up, his voice calm.

"If I remember correctly, we hunted a lot and purchased the furs of various animals, made them into fur coats, and distributed them to various counties. Han people were given priority. The clothes of the deceased were undoubtedly Han people. According to Jian Zhubu's calculation, there should be enough. How could a Han person be frozen to death?"

Officials of all ranks were terrified, "General, General, I, I don't know, I don't know."

"If you don't know, go check!"

Officials of all ranks rushed to take action. This was the first time they had seen General Liu like this.

The officials who were originally on leave were pulled out of their homes. With droopy eyelids, they were about to utter beautiful Chinese greetings to greet the officials in front of them, but when they learned what had happened, they shuddered all over, woke up instantly, opened their eyes wide, and immediately understood the seriousness of the problem. They didn't know that the general had prepared a lot of animal furs early in the morning in order to deal with the harsh winter.

This is what is happening right now.
The officials all swallowed their saliva, feeling extremely panicked, and stumbled straight to the county government.

The deserted county government suddenly became lively.

The county government was operating at full capacity, and its efficiency was astonishingly high.

The target was locked immediately.

After hearing the name, Liu Bei calmly replied, "I know."

"Hahaha, this money comes easily."

Wang Xian, the village treasurer, hummed a little tune and pushed open the door of the house. Billowing hot air hit him in the face. This was all due to the stove in the house - a stove made in the Engineering Hall for heating.

The moment Wang Xian stepped into the room, his hair stood on end!

His eyelids were twitching wildly, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.

A chill touched my neck.

He looked down.
It's a sword!

"Please spare my life, sir!" Wang Xian begged for mercy immediately.

The man behind him ignored Wang Xian and continued, "Wang Xian was originally a knight. When the Qiang and Hu invaded, he fell off his horse and broke his leg. Therefore, he was arranged to be a village official. His favorite food is pig meat noodles. Am I wrong?"

"I"

"For my own selfish desires, I coveted the furs of an entire village. Am I right or wrong?"

"I"

At this moment, Wang Xian's face turned pale and the words that came out of his mouth were extremely dry.

"You, you, you are General Liu?"

"it's me."

Liu Bei's figure emerged from the darkness.

".General Liu" Wang Xian opened his mouth, and all his words turned into three words, "I'm sorry."

The moment the words fell, Wang Xian's neck hit the cold sword blade.

However, death did not come. Wang Xian was held down by Liu Bei and could not move.

Liu Bei said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to die so early."

Wang Xian closed his eyes and shook out everything.

Liu Bei clenched the sword in his hand.

On this day, the county residents were shocked to find that several familiar wealthy businessmen and scholars were detained in the county prison.

The leader, Wang Xian, was even hanged at Caishikou.

After doing all this, Liu Bei felt groggy and everything seemed unclear. The voices in his ears were fading away. He vaguely heard Jia Xu's voice.
"Hurry, hurry, carry the Lord into the house!"
