Chapter 487 Cao Ang: General Zhang monopolizes eight buckets! (Four thousand)

Liu Bei did not take off his shoes after all. He reprimanded Liu Li, "There will not be a next time. Don't sneak out again in the future." At the same time, he affirmed and praised Liu Li's behavior this time.

A certain king blinked in disbelief.

Didn't I escape the disaster by not taking off my shoes? Then I wouldn't have to sing in front of everyone, right?
Wait! I even got a compliment?!
Hey.

When Liu Li thought of this, he smiled so much that his eyebrows were curved and bubbles of snot appeared from his nose.

As for the rest?

Hmm? Anything else?

What sneaking?!

How can a man sneak out when doing righteous things? !
".Li'er, do you understand?"

Liu Bei's voice drew Liu Li's attention back to the present, and Liu Li hurriedly replied: "Uncle, I understand. Don't worry!"

After saying this, he looked at Liu Bei somewhat guiltily, and when he saw that Liu Bei looked normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Liu Li did not notice was that the young man named Cao, whom he called his nephew, twitched his mouth.

The young man surnamed Cao wanted to say to Liu Li, "My king, my king, can you please be more careful? Did you look like you understood what I said just now? If you can't fool me, how can you fool General Wei? Don't you realize that General Wei's expression is a little bit wrong?"

The young man surnamed Cao's worries are not groundless.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly. Facing Liu Li, he would not talk about offsetting merits and demerits. No matter whether it was the emperor or the general, they had to distinguish between rewards and punishments. If he himself could not do it, how could he ask others to do it?

In his opinion, the method of dealing with the robbers this time was indeed good, far better than just raising fists before, and this matter was worthy of praise.

But that doesn't mean you can just sneak out during class and get away with it.

At the moment, he was unwilling to mention his academic and Liu Li's real names, in order to save Liu Li's face. However, Liu Li's performance really made him angry and amused. He understood, what did he understand? He was lying with his eyes open.

"Li'er, I have something important to do and I need to go find Master Lu. Please come with me."

Fortunately, this matter did not make Liu Bei angry, and his tone remained the same.

But Liu Li always felt that something was wrong. His originally smiling face collapsed in a moment, like an eggplant hit by frost.

The reason was simple, Liu Li smelled danger.

Going to find Master Lu? Something important?

This couldn't help but make Liu Li's heart skip a beat, and he recalled the bad past.

He said secretly: Not good
Was he going to be sent to Lu Zhi for a mixed doubles match between master and uncle?
Just thinking of that scene, Liu Li felt his scalp tingling.

"Why don't you want to?"

Unwilling
Liu Li forced a stiff smile and said, "Why wouldn't I be willing?"

"Good." Liu Bei nodded and signaled with his eyes that Liu Li should lead the way.

At this moment, Liu Li was extremely depressed. He really couldn't understand why he was caught red-handed this time?
He knew that asking would not give him any clues, so he had to lead the others in a certain direction, feeling confused and frustrated.

Zhang Kai, who took all this in, couldn't help but laugh. He initially thought that Liu Li, who was able to use secret codes and understood division of labor, should be quite mature, but now it seems that he is just a childish person.

If Liu Bei knew what Zhang Kai was thinking, he would certainly nod his head. Just as Zhang Kai thought, Liu Li was just a child at heart. The child's loss came quickly and went away quickly.

Along the way, many people greeted Liu Li with smiles on their faces. There was no malice in these smiles, but rather some respect and some joking.

"Hero Liu Li? Don't you want to listen to the story of today's novelist? There's a knight who kills one person every ten steps and leaves no name after a thousand miles!" When passing by the tea stall, the tea drinker smiled and patted the long bench beside him.

Liu Li was tempted, but he stole a glance at Liu Bei. Without Liu Bei's affirmation, he wanted to jump over and sit down, but he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have something important to do."

"Important? What's the important thing?"

"I I." Liu Li had a bitter face and didn't know how to start. He couldn't say that he sneaked out of the palace and was caught by his uncle, right?
Liu Bei patted Liu Li on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, sit down and listen."

"!" Liu Li's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and then joy instantly occupied his entire face, and the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky with joy, but he asked inexplicably, "Uncle. Master Lu, where is Master Lu?"

"Don't worry, I will ask someone to tell Master Lu right away so that he doesn't have to worry."

Liu Li:.
He shouldn't have asked this!
Glad to hear new stories.
Liu Li could only comfort himself in this way.

The tea drinkers were all surprised at Liu Li's reaction. You know, Liu Li was not afraid of even the Chief Justice, so why was he so well-behaved today?

Their eyes all fell on Liu Bei. They could see that Liu Li's change was all because of Liu Bei.

The tea drinkers present showed great interest in Liu Bei. Some speculated that Liu Bei had an extraordinary identity, but this was quickly opposed.

"Which nobleman's clothes are so plain?"

"Which noble person would come here?"

"Which noble man can't see it at a glance?"

"If you ask me, the person next to Uncle Liu Langjun looks more noble than Uncle Liu Langjun!"

All the tea drinkers thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

It's not like they haven't seen nobles in the city before. It would be unfair to say that all the nobles were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.

But people's temperaments are different from those of ordinary people. You don't need to look closely, you can tell it at a glance.

But Liu Bei obviously did not have such temperament.

They felt that Liu Bei looked very familiar and friendly, but they couldn't tell where they had seen him before.

Unable to guess the reason, the tea drinkers decided to go straight to the point and asked Liu Li directly.

"Hero Liu, what's your uncle's name?"

Liu Li was no longer sleepy when asked this question. He perked up and said, "Hey, my fellow brothers, I dare not call myself a great hero in front of my uncle. I will take a step back and you can call me a little hero! I will tell you secretly, if my uncle calls himself the second best in the world, no one dares to claim to be the best!"

These words amused all the tea drinkers. "Hahaha, Liu Xiaoxia, look at what you said. Can you beat Huang Hansheng and Chen Shuzhi?"

"Huang Hansheng and Chen Shuzhi?" Liu Li curled his lips. "Let alone Huang Hansheng and Chen Shuzhi, even if the second and third generals were fighting fiercely, my uncle could subdue them!"

"Hahaha!"

A cheerful atmosphere broke out in the tea shed. Some tea drinkers laughed so hard that they fell over, some laughed so hard that they pounded the tables and chairs, and some even laughed so hard that they lost their balance and fell to the ground.

As novelists emerge like mushrooms after a rain, the titles of Second General and Third General are no longer unfamiliar to everyone.

Who else could be called the second and third generals nowadays except General Wei’s two brothers-in-law?

The second general Guan Yu defeated ten thousand troops with a hundred cavalrymen, and the third general Zhang Yide seized the city with a clever plan. These two rumors were important topics of conversation after dinner.

You are able to defeat the second and third generals. Could it be that your uncle is the General Wei?

Liu Li was a little anxious, stamping his feet anxiously, "Everything I said is true!"

"Yes, yes, what Liu Xiaoxia said is true."

"Is your uncle General Wei?" Liu Li wanted to say "Yes, he is", but he held back.

He knew to conceal his identity, so how could he reveal Liu Bei's identity just for the sake of momentary pleasure?
Even though his face was full of resentment, he still clenched his teeth.

Zhang Kai raised his eyebrows. This boy actually respected Lord Xuande so much.

"You were just kidding, but if you think about it carefully, your own children and adopted children should respect you as much as Li'er respects me."

Liu Bei's voice was not very loud, and was even a little flat, but it had an inexplicable affinity.

Moreover, these words touched everyone's heart. Which son doesn't think his father is awesome?
The laughter gradually died down, and the tea drinkers looked at Liu Bei with curiosity. Someone asked, "What's your name, good man?"

"I am the oldest among my brothers." Liu Bei smiled, "You can call me Liu Da."

"Liu Da."

Tea drinkers say the name is too common.

However, liking or disliking a person is not based on the name. Just based on Liu Li's usual likable appearance, the tea drinkers all rushed to greet Liu Bei and his companions, "Master Liu, Little Master Liu, come, come and sit over here!"

"What do you mean come to your side? There are plenty of empty seats here, come over here!"

In the end, Liu Bei and others chose the person who greeted Liu Li at the beginning.

"Brother Zhang, please take a seat."

"Xuan Liu, Brother Liu, please take a seat."

A group of people sat down around a square table. Although the tea drinkers were curious about Liu Bei and others, as the novelist walked to the front of the stage, the knock of the wake-up stick was like a thunder, attracting countless eyes.

"My brothers, heroes, gentlemen and elders, today I want to tell you the story of the knight."

"Mr. Zhang has a poem that says, 'The guest from Zhao wears a long Hu tassel, and the hook from Wu is bright with frost and snow.'"

When the novelist was reading the opening poem, Liu Li nodded his head, his eyes sparkling, and he kept saying "yes".

Even the seemingly peaceful young man surnamed Cao was so excited that he cheered and even slapped his thigh, "There is only one stone of talent in the world. General Zhang has eight dou, Captain Cao has one dou, and everyone in the world shares one dou!"

The reactions of the two teenagers were beyond Zhang Kai's expectations and even left him confused.

It wasn’t because of the poetry. Although he was not familiar with literature, he could still tell the good from the bad.

This poem is catchy and has some of the chivalrous spirit of revenge and generosity.

More importantly, the poem also mentioned Xinling Jun, which undoubtedly suited his taste. If the person who wrote the poem appeared in front of him, he would definitely treat him with courtesy!

But he was puzzled. Wasn't the novelist talking about Mr. Zhang? How did he get involved with General Zhang?

Unable to figure out the reason, Zhang Kai looked to Liu Bei for help. He lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Xuande, wasn't the person who wrote the poem Mr. Zhang? Why did you say it was General Zhang? Could General Zhang be General Zhang Yide? Could the person who wrote the poem be General Zhang Yide?"

Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words "General Zhang monopolized the eight buckets". Especially coming from Cao Ang, it turned out that they were really a pair of father and son, even their hobbies were so similar.

After hearing Zhang Kai's question, he stopped his thoughts and said with a strange look on his face: "This poem was written by my third brother. As for why the novelist called my third brother Mr. Zhang, I don't know what Mr. Zhang means?"

"Please enlighten me, Lord Xuande."

"When the boy has nothing to do, he stands to the north or south of the host, meets the teacher, and follows him in."

"The Book of Rites, Jade Ornaments says: If a boy has nothing to do, he should stand to the north and south of his host, and when he sees his teacher, he should follow him in. A teacher is a teacher. The novelist flourished because of the third brother, so many novelists who are busy in teahouses and wine shops respect the third brother as a teacher, and therefore respectfully call him "Mr."

"I see. I'm very impressed." Zhang Kai couldn't help but sigh. Liu Bei's two younger brothers were really amazing. One was good at literature and the other was good at martial arts. Yuan Shu, whom he had previously regarded as a hero, was far inferior to these two.

However, he knew that Liu Bei was the most powerful. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were under Yuan Shu, they would never have a chance to rise to prominence.

Zhang Kai shook his head and didn't think any further. He drank his tea and listened to the novelist's story with his ears perked up.

As he listened, he frowned slightly and said subconsciously: "Assassination, how can it be assassinated in this way?"

Liu Li was listening to the critical moment when the novelist fully mobilized everyone's emotions. Not only him, but all the tea drinkers present clenched their fists and dared not even breathe, as if they had merged into one with the knight who avenged his benefactor in the novelist's words, fearing that the noise they made would cause the knight's revenge to fail.

Who knew that by coincidence, Liu Li overheard Zhang Kai's complaints.

Liu Li's temper flared up all of a sudden. The novelist was telling the story just fine, so who was interfering?

When he saw that the person who was speaking was Zhang Kai, reason suddenly took over his mind.

Before this, when Zhang Kai paid attention to Liu Li, Liu Li also paid attention to Zhang Kai.

Whenever Zhang Kai talked with Liu Bei, Liu Li would prick up his ears and listen carefully. He could hear Liu Bei's politeness towards Zhang Kai.

Therefore, he immediately concluded that Zhang Kai must be a man of extraordinary talent!

As for why Liu Li was so confident, it was because Zhang Fei casually mentioned that "the best thing about my brother is that he can identify talented people."

Originally, he was worried about how to find talented people. After all, Lu Zhi taught him that fighting a war is not a one-man job.

Therefore, while doing justice, he also brought his own little thoughts, which was to look for talented people by the way!
Otherwise, we can't just rely on our nephew, right?

Who would have thought that before he could find a talented person, the talented person would come to him!

Is the person who is favored by the Emperor's uncle just an ordinary talent? !

With such insights into assassins, he must be a great ranger!

Hahahaha, now it’s posted, it’s posted!
"Hmm? Li'er, your saliva is flowing out." Liu Bei looked at Liu Li with a strange expression and reached out to help Liu Li wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: Xie'er, you don't want to ask me for Zhang Kai, do you?

"Thank you, uncle." Liu Li leaned close to Liu Bei's ear and whispered, "Uncle, I have done a great deed this time, right? Past deeds cannot offset past deeds, but meritorious deeds should be rewarded. I have a favor to ask."

Looking at Liu Li like this, Liu Bei always felt like he was Zhang Fei.

"What's the matter?" But he decided to see what Liu Li thought.

"I want Zhang Haohan to teach me!"

After the novelist's story ended, everyone scattered.

Zhang Kai naturally followed Liu Bei's footsteps, but the direction he was heading to was Weiyang Palace.

Of course, Zhang Kai was unable to go to the Weiyang Palace. In front of the palace gate, Liu Bei revealed the true identities of Liu Li and the boy surnamed Cao.

"Brother Zhang, these two are the Prince of Chenliu and Cao Ang, the eldest son of Captain Cao. I wonder if Brother Zhang is willing to teach them skills?"

Liu Li's identity really frightened Zhang Kai. The dignified Prince of Chenliu wanted to learn his skills? What was he doing? Was he going to assassinate the emperor?
Even though Liu Bei was in front of him, Zhang Kai thought Liu Bei was joking, so he said lightly: "I have no objection."

Afterwards, Liu Bei sent Liu Xie into the palace. When Zhang Kai saw Liu Bei leaving the palace, he saw that Liu Bei's right hand was slightly red.
Liu Bei seemed reluctant to mention this matter. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I will help you find a place to live."

A few days later, who would have thought that Liu Bei really led Liu Xie and Cao Ang to knock on the door of Zhang Kai's residence.

Looking at the bundle of repairs that Liu Bei was holding, Zhang Kai's eyelids twitched wildly and he swallowed his saliva. "Lord Xuande, are you serious about this?"

Cao Ang at the side could not help but say: "My king, if we are all studying under Mr. Zhang, do I not need to call you Uncle Master?"

Liu Xie still felt a little pain in his butt, so he grinned when he answered, "How about this, you and I will talk about our own things, I will call you Junior Brother, and you call me Uncle. Junior Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Cao Ang:.
No, my king, look at what you said, do you believe it?
