Chapter 73 I am Ma Chao, Marquis of Zhaixiang and General of the Cavalry of the Han Dynasty!!!
A handsome man wearing a white robe and a crown walked up to Liu Bei and others.

He bowed gracefully and said, "I am a villager from Mei County. My surname is Fa, my given name is Yan, and my courtesy name is Jimou. May I ask if you are the Tiger of Youzhou, the Governor Liu Xuande?"

"They are all empty names, all empty names. I don't deserve them." Liu Bei did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the greeting. He could not help but feel a little curious, "Mr. Fa, how did you know my name?"

Fa Yan touched Fa Zheng's head and said with a smile: "It's all what my son said. I didn't expect that you really came to Mei County specially. I have made an agreement with you before. If you really come here and treat my son sincerely, I will let you go with me."

At this point, Fa Yan's eyes flashed with pity, his tone became heavier, even the hand that was stroking Fa Zheng's head was trembling, and his breathing became more rapid. He hoped that Fa Zheng was just deceiving adults like the kids next door, but his son was smart since he was young and never lied to him. He could learn any classics quickly.

Especially since that day, when talking about Liu Xuande, Fa Zheng's eyes seemed to have a light different from that of other children.

At first it was worship and admiration.

When he heard that Liu Bei had won a battle, he clapped his hands with joy. When he heard that Liu Bei was in trouble, he frowned with worry.

Then came doubt, confusion, and fear.
But now he is indomitable and stubborn, and has a resolute determination.

It was hard to imagine that Fa Yan actually saw this kind of look in the eyes of a child, and that child’s own son.

Didn't he ask Fa Zheng why he was so obsessed with Liu Xuande?
When it comes to this issue, Fa Zheng always keeps it secret. He just says that it was entrusted by an immortal and he won't say anything more. The reason is that even he, as his father, can't pry it open.

But
"a man of his words."

He looked at the people following behind Liu Bei, and seemed to understand something. He used up all his strength and said, "What you promised should be done, Lord."

Fa Yan bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Yan, I just ask you to treat Zheng well."

"I said."

Zhang Fei couldn't bear to watch it any longer. It was all about separation and death. He said, "Mr. Fa, why don't you follow me?"

Fa Yan sighed and said, "My dear, it's not that I don't want to, but it's really hard for me to get away. I have been selected as a filial and honest official, and I will be leaving for the post soon."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei felt embarrassed. He scratched his cheek in embarrassment. "Xiaolian" is such a distant word. If it was before, the three brothers would never see it in their lifetime.
At this moment, Zhang Fei felt his palms warm. He lowered his head and saw that it was Fa Zheng, who was only as tall as his thigh, who grabbed his hand.

I only heard Fa Zheng say, "Third brother, it's okay. Father doesn't like to publicize it. Don't tell me, I just found out about it too."

"Brother Sansan?"

Fa Zheng's call was like a streaking arrow hitting Zhang Fei's chest. It instantly made the eight-foot-tall man's blood boil and his dark face flush red. This was different from Zhang Liao and the Prime Minister's somewhat reluctant calls. He could feel that Fa Zheng's words came from the heart. Didn't you see that my fourth brother's eyes were bent with laughter?

"Good good!"

"Brother Fa, you are my fourth brother Fa now! If anyone dares to bully you, let me know! I will beat him so hard that even his parents won't recognize him!"

Just as Zhang Fei was expressing his joy, he even picked up Fa Zheng and put him on his neck, letting his newly recognized fourth brother ride on his "big horse".

Guan Yu coughed lightly, "Hey, third brother."

Guan Yu glanced at Jian Yong beside him, meaning, Third brother, don't blindly recognize me as your fourth brother, Xianhe is still right beside us.

Zhang Fei then said to Xianhe apologetically
"I'm sorry, Brother Jian."

"Go away, Zhang Sanlang."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at Jian Yong and said, "That's boring. Now I have to accompany my new fourth brother."

etc--

Zhang Fei discovered a blind spot, and he hurriedly asked Guan Yu, "Where are my brother and Mr. Fa?"

Guan Yu pointed to a tree not far away and said, "Mr. Fa wanted to talk to my elder brother about something, so he went to the side."

"I see."

Shortly after.

Liu Bei and Fa Yan came back. They had a very pleasant conversation and no one knew what they talked about.

Fa Yan only saw Liu Bei bowing and said, "No wonder, no wonder. If that's the case, then I'm relieved. I will let my wives and concubines accompany Zheng and the Lord to Liangzhou!"

Before leaving.

Fa Zheng fell to his knees in front of Fa Yan, and he bowed again and again, "Father, Rong'er is unfilial and cannot serve you, but in this life, there are things that are far more important than filial piety." "It's okay." Fa Yan helped Fa Zheng up, "Zheng, go, and realize your ambition."

Fa Zheng was stunned. He looked at Fa Yan and then at Liu Bei.

Both of them smiled and said nothing.

Fa Zheng walked up to his companions.

The companion who had been waiting for a long time asked in confusion, "Zheng, why did that Lord Liu call you filial and upright?"

"It is a word, Mr. Zhang. It is the word I have always dreamed of, and it came from the mouth of my lord." Fa Zheng smiled.

"Words." The companion asked again: "Are you leaving?"

"Ok!"

Fa Zheng nodded heavily. He looked into the distance at the azure sky, and his tone was filled with fighting spirit that could not be suppressed. "In this life, I will definitely turn into a great roc to help my lord and soar up to 90,000 miles!"

Liu Bei and his generals set out on the journey to Ji County, the capital of Liangzhou. After all, his official position was the prefect of Jincheng, and his immediate superior was Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou.

Liu Bei had heard of Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou. As the head of a province, he was not a good official. Instead, he was the leader of corruption.

As we get closer to Liangzhou.

The scene in my vision became more and more strange. The main color of the people here was that they were pale and thin. There were too many bandits. They could even be seen in the suburbs of the county town. They were really rampant. No, to be precise, they were not ordinary bandits, but Qiang and Hu people whose clothes and appearance were different from theirs.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and Hua Tuo frowned as they watched.

Zhang Fei even stopped talking with Fa Zheng, who was riding the same horse with him.

He said bluntly: "Does Zuo Chang really just not care?"

"Third brother, be careful with your words."

Liu Bei could only defeat the Qiang and Hu again and again with his generals.

It was not until they reached the vicinity of Ji County that the bandit problem was alleviated a lot and everyone's mood also improved.

Fa Zheng took this opportunity to suggest, "My Lord, are you feeling confused right now?"

"Oh?"

Liu Bei perked up. He looked at Fa Zheng, who was straightening his back and acting like an adult. He asked, "Does Xiao Zhi have any good ideas?"

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "I heard from my third brother that there is a person who really scares me. Even if the lord doesn't want to use this person, he can't let anyone else get him."

"Oh?" Liu Bei had a vague guess in his mind, but he still followed Fa Zheng's words and asked, "What did Xiaozhi say?"

"My lord, let's go and tie up Jia Xu!!!" Fa Zheng was extremely excited.

"?!"

Before Liu Bei could say, "Xiaozhi, don't learn from your third brother."

A powerful voice rang out in the wilderness.

"Excuse me, is this the governor of Jincheng, Lord Liu Xuande???"

Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw in the distance a general in armor, leading dozens of light cavalry approaching.

The general was a big man, more than eight feet tall, with a unique face and nose, not like an ordinary man.

When they get close, he reins in his horse and stops.

Before Liu Bei could speak, he heard a childish voice.

"Hahahaha, I am Ma Chao, Marquis of Yanxiang and General of the Cavalry of the Han Dynasty!!!"
