Chapter 136
Zhao Ze left when the sun was falling.

Liu Bei stepped into Yan Yan's house at dawn.

"You just wait here."

Liu Bei and Gan Gui confessed.

Jinfan's eight hundred soldiers belonged to Gan Gui's followers in theory, but Gan Gui waved his hand, "Let the lord do what he wants!"

So Liu Bei was not polite, and all of them were temporarily assigned to Guan Yu to train the navy.

The blueprint of the giant ship brought back by Gan Gui has also been handed over to Huang Yueying. After Huang Yueying and the shipwrights understand the structure, they can rebuild a brand new river warship.

In this way, Gan Gui was more leisurely, so he begged Liu Bei to bring him to Yizhou.

What made Liu Bei curious was that Gan Gui didn't intend to go back and have a look when he was passing Linjiang.

"I was born in Jingzhou..."

Looking at Linjiang City from a distance, Gan Gui's face had complex emotions such as anticipation, nostalgia and melancholy, which finally turned into firmness:
"I don't want to go back alone."

The freshness that Jiangzhou City brought to Gan Gui was only half a day, not as good as Dantu or the police.

So when Liu Bei was going to visit Yan Yan, Gan Gui became Liu Bei's personal guard again.

After explaining to Gan Gui, Liu Bei stepped into this small door.

It's not a big family, just a simple small yard.

A veteran with slightly gray hair was busy, with a big stick in his hand being danced vigorously.

Seeing a guest, the veteran rolled a stick into his hand and threw it on the ground with a "bang", stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Who are you?"

Liu Bei was startled, and then thought that he was wearing a helmet all over his body when he called the door at Jiangzhou City, so Yan Yan didn't recognize him.

"I am Uncle Liu's personal soldier, Chen Dao, who came to find General Yan to serve the country."

"Hahahahaha!" Yan Yan laughed loudly and cursed:

"Good thief, your lord is unreasonable and invaded my lord Yizhou first!"

"How dare you come to Naigong with the audacity!"

"There are only decapitated generals here, and surrendered generals without cartilage!"

Liu Bei frowned, so angry?
But before Liu Bei could say anything, Gan Gui, who was only separated by a wall, couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in and shouted:

"If you don't surrender, you don't surrender. How dare you insult my lord?"

"Naigong doesn't care about your old bones!"

Without saying a word, Yan Yan raised his stick to hit her. Gan Gui ran to the wall without saying a word, picked up another stick that was on the ground, and turned to kill.

The two fought back and forth for a few rounds. Yan Yan had just been practicing with a gun before, and now she was a little out of breath.

Gan Gui was proud, and said unforgivingly:
"Veteran! Do you know how good my Gan family's marksmanship is?"

Yan Yan stopped, looking suspicious:
"Linjiang Gan's family?"

Gan Gui straightened her chest:

"Exactly!"

"Your father is that water bandit Gan Ning?"

"Jin Fan!" Gan Gui's face turned red, and he took the initiative to attack.

After another three or five rounds, Yan Yan sold a flaw and was whipped in the leg by Gan Gui.

But Yan Yan smiled, put the head of the stick against Gan Gui's chest, and gave it a slight push:
"You're dead, baby."

Although the two of them used sticks, they were actually the marksmanship used by the army to fight. Gan Gui also understood that if they both took spears, he would indeed be dead at this moment.

Not hypocritical, Gan Gui threw away the long stick neatly:

"The old man has some ability."

Yan Yan snorted and said, "It's pretty much the same as what your father said here."

"But..." Yan Yan frowned and took a careful look at Gan Gui:
"Gan Xingba betrayed Jiang Dong again?"

"My father didn't betray Jiangdong, I just voted for the lord." Gan Gui argued for her father.

"Who are you?"

Yan Yan snorted: "I don't know who the guest here is when I come to visit?"

"Linjiang, Yan Yan, before your father leaves Yizhou, he will also call me elder brother."

Immediately, his eyes turned to Liu Bei who was watching with gusto:
"Uncle Liu?"

Liu Bei cupped his hands: "General Yan is mighty."

Without waiting for Yan Yaner to speak, Liu Bei said:
"Is General Yan loyal to the big man or to Liu Zhang who doesn't care about this place?"

"If General Yan says it's Liu Zhang himself, then I'll turn around and leave without disturbing you."

"This..." Yan Yan was speechless, and finally said: "Of course it is Hanchen."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "That's the case."

Stepping forward, he couldn't help but grasp Yan Yan's palm with both hands:

"I also ask the old general to help me find the traitor and restore the Han Dynasty."

"Father!" Gan Gui also looked expectant from the side.

Yan Yan's heart softened a lot in an instant, and she could only nod her head.

Liu Bei smiled and clasped his hands tightly with Yan Yan.

Gan Gui laughed and said:
"Shifu, I seem to have vaguely heard the word decapitated general outside just now."

Yan Yan changed color, picked up the stick and chased after:
"Today I'm going to discipline you for the Gan family, so don't leave, junior!"

……

In mid-July, Zhao Ah was on the ridge of the field poking out his buttocks to settle accounts.

In fact, of course he doesn't know how to settle accounts, he just pouted his ass and looked at the bunch of silly jokes.

This is calculated by Li Gong for himself. What do the circles and crosses represent?He didn't remember.

How much is the balance this year compared to last year?He didn't remember either.

Zhao Ah only knew that a clay pot had been buried under his bed, and it was full of yellow copper coins.

As for this pot, last year only ten pieces of five baht coins were placed, which just covered the bottom of the pot.

Squatting on the ridge of the field, although he couldn't understand how Li Gong calculated, Zhao Ah was still reluctant to wipe off the pile of things.

In the end, he moved a few stones to cover the pile and planned to come back tomorrow.

What are you doing today?At this time in previous years, Zhao A would spend almost all of his time processing rice, but this year there is a water power workshop, and he can pay a little money.

So Zhao Ah had a free July for the first time.

Without hesitating for too long, Zhao Ah's heart was filled with a thought: go to Jiangling City to see it!
Running all the way to the riverside, there was a small pier here, and you can go down the river to Jingzhou.

Carefully covering his pockets to prevent the copper coins from colliding with each other, Zhao Ah paid the money and boarded the boat.

For the first time in his life, Zigui City gradually became smaller behind Zhao Ah, and a world he had never seen before unfolded before his eyes.

I couldn't get tired of watching the passing scenery, and the noisy voices of the passengers also reached Zhao Ah's ears.

"Have you heard? There is a fight in Chengdu."

"It's fighting again? Didn't you just fight a General Zhao a few years ago?"

"How many years has it been? I heard that the general surnamed Pang this time is fighting that Liu Yizhou."

"Bah!" Someone spat harshly: "Kill him to death and let Uncle Liu become the state shepherd of Yizhou!"

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the punting boatman:
"Hey, don't spit in the boat, can't control your mouth or something?"

"Where is Uncle Liu now?"

"I heard it's in Jiangzhou."

"Where is that?"

"Who knows, it's quite far away?"

"Will Uncle Huang return to Jingzhou from Zigui this year?"

"It should be... Hey, hold on to the boat, it's time to cross the beach."

Half an hour later, Zhao Ah grabbed the side of the boat in shock. He planned to go back by land. Why is the river so dangerous!

But fortunately, all these seemed to be worthwhile. Before the sun was in the middle of the day, Zhao Ah saw a city, which he believed to be Jiangling City.

The boatman pushed the boat over, and Zhao Ah got off the boat clutching his purse, feeling for the first time that he didn't have enough brains.

It was the first time that such a big city could not fit in the eyes, and so many hawking sounds could not fit in the ears, and the tip of the nose smelled dozens of unknown smells.

This is Jiangling?Zhao Ah escaped from the pier into the city.

The road in the middle of the city is wider and there are more shops, Zhao Ah can't help but indulge in it.

But soon sober:
A piece of silk from Bushe actually costs a thousand dollars!But my mother-in-law, why buy this?

Zhao Ah lingered on the horses that slaughtered dogs and pigs, but soon realized that even if he bought the meat, he couldn't bring it back in such hot weather.

The paper society was carefully bypassed by Zhao A, who couldn't read a single word, so why look at this?
Tieshe made Zhao Ah hesitate. Those hoes and rakes seemed to be really useful, but...it seems that the wooden ones in Zigui's house are also unusable?

After bidding farewell to these trading companies for the time being, Zhao Ah finally had time to visit the restaurants on the roadside.

After asking the price, he dug in the cloth bag, Zhao Ah finally regained a little happiness before departure.

When standing on the road hesitating which one to eat, Zhao Ah felt as if he was hit by a horse.

Raising his head, Zhao Ah had a feeling at the first sight:
What a beautiful beard!
Take another look: what a mighty general!

"Is it okay, little brother?"

Zhao A woke up and hurriedly stood up, moved and shook his head: "It's okay."

After watching the bearded general off, Zhao Ah simply turned around and entered the soup cake shop.

Although he could not read, he could recognize the little lamb tied at the door.

"Lamb soup cake, big bowl!" Zhao A said, and patted his wallet with confidence.

Guan Yu didn't take this episode to heart, and continued talking to Zhao Lei beside him:

"...The navy can continue training according to the current method."

Zhao Lei nodded and changed another topic:
"Jinfanwei suggested that since the lord wants to take Chengdu, why not simply set up a shipyard in Jiangzhou, so that the shipbuilding can directly support the lord."

Guan Yu shook his head slightly:

"Why do you need a giant ship for only one part of Chengdu? Chengdu will surrender itself within three months."

Zhao Lei also had the same opinion:
"Jinfanwei's proposal is mostly just to build a giant ship and return home with glory."

Guan Yu felt that this possibility was indeed not small, so he couldn't help being speechless, shook his head and said:
"Tell them, if you make such unreliable opinions again, they will escort the grain transport fleet to Jiangzhou."

Zhao Lei wrote it down with a smile in his eyes.

Now that there are not many official duties, visiting Jiangling City is just Guan Yu's personal habit.

Walking in this city, Guan Yu can always think of all the things he has seen on the light curtain, as well as the other "General Guan" with gray hair.

"Such a fortified city built with my own hands, should it become my prestige, Guan Mou?"

Guan Yu whispered to himself.

"General Guan, what did you say?" Zhao Lei didn't hear clearly.

Guan Yu shook his head and looked at Zhao Lei, the warlord who would be by his side at Wuhou Temple a thousand years later.

"What's the news from Jiangdong?"

Zhao Lei shook his head and said, "Last month, there were rumors that Jiang Dong was arguing every day over the matter of the lord going west, and the matter of moving the government office was suspended."

"But it's suddenly quiet this month and there's no news at all. It's strange."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and had his own guess:
"Jiangdong rat, it's coming."

 The next video should be tomorrow.
