Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 287 Peach Blossom Temple (third update)
At about noon the next day, outside the gate of the General's Mansion, Liu Bei came out slowly, stepped on a horse, and headed for Yuan Tan's mansion with eight soldiers.

Although the world is full of turmoil, the army is mobilized, and the appeal against thieves is known to everyone, it is mainly a matter for the superiors. The common people are still fighting for three meals a day, and the city of Ye is still as lively and prosperous as before.

But Liu Bei was riding a horse on the street, and he really didn't appreciate it at all. His eyes were filled with longing and sadness. He looked up at the blue sky and murmured, "Second brother, third brother, how are you all?"

Although Yuan Shao respected him on the surface, Liu Bei knew in his heart that the other party just treated him as a pawn. When will this situation of relying on others end!When will my two foster brothers come back.

Not long after walking, when it was only two short blocks away from Yuan Tan's mansion, a tempting fragrance of flowers suddenly came into Liu Bei's nose, and Liu Bei said unexpectedly: "Peach Blossom"

After looking around, I saw a quiet nunnery not far from the left.

"Where is this place? It smells like peach blossoms," Liu Bei asked curiously. This smell was exactly the same as the one he smelled when he married his second and third brothers in Taoyuan.

"My lord, this is the Peach Blossom Temple in Yecheng. It is a famous scenic spot. There are thousands of peach trees planted in it. I heard that there is an old Taoist priest living here, and he is very good at fortune-telling," a team leader said immediately.

"Peach Blossom Temple" Liu Bei couldn't help being startled, looked at the three words on the temple, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart, thinking that although he has no fixed place these years, he has always had two good brothers who are loyal Follow, but now he is really alone.

"My lord, do you want to go in and have a look?" the captain asked curiously.

Liu Bei was a little moved, but after remembering the place he was going to go today, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go visit the eldest son first."

"No!" Just when Liu Bei was driving his horse and was about to leave, he saw the gate of Peach Blossom Nunnery suddenly opened, and an old Taoist priest with snow-white hair and beard, holding a dust whisk in his hand, came out suddenly, and looked up at Liu Bei's back , After frowning, he shouted: "General, please stay!"

Liu Bei was taken aback, immediately pulled back the horse, and asked curiously, "Is the old Taoist calling me?"

"Really, may I ask General Gao's name?" the old Taoist asked seriously.

Liu Bei got off his horse immediately, and saluted, "Get off Liu Bei!"

The old Taoist shrank his pupils, and said: "But that uncle of the Han Emperor, Yuzhou Mu, the left general Liu Bei"

"Really" Liu Bei saluted.

The old Taoist hesitated for a while, then said, "General, where are you going?"

Although Liu Bei wondered why the old Taoist cared so much about him, he still said, "Bei is planning to go to the eldest son to thank you today."

After the old Taoist glanced at the street ahead, he frowned and said with a smile: "According to the old way, the general should not go."

"Why?" Liu Bei wondered.

"Forgive the old Taoist, the general used to have a dragon and a tiger with him, and his luck was extraordinary, but today, the dragon was indeed covered by dark clouds, and the blood scattered the tiger. Only the peach blossom temple of the old Taoist may be able to solve this disaster," the old Taoist said seriously.

"Sophisticated, presumptuous" Hearing this, the team leader next to him suddenly said angrily.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Taoist priest, but Bei never believed in this, and even if there is a disaster, why is the Taoist priest here?"

"Because there will be a distinguished guest here today, as long as the old Taoist is here, the emperor's life will be safe, and he can escape this disaster," said the old Taoist.

"Oh! Who is it? Could it be Yuan Gong?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"No, it's Tian Feng, Lord Tian, ​​the mastermind under Mr. Yuan's command. The old Taoist was doing meditation just now, and suddenly felt heart palpitations. But just now, Lord Tian came to ask for invitations, and he calmed down again. When he went out, he happened to read Seeing the emperor's uncle, seeing that your seal is black, there may be a catastrophe, think about it, maybe only Mr. Tian can keep the emperor's uncle," the old Taoist explained carefully.

Liu Bei frowned, wondering, "Why is the Taoist priest so concerned about Bei?"

"The emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and his benevolent heart shines everywhere. The old Taoist really can't bear you to have problems," the old Taoist said frankly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Bei said, "Alright then, I won't disturb you."

Liu Bei didn't believe this kind of thing, but he didn't want to refuse the other party's kindness, and more importantly, he also wanted to have a good chat with Tian Feng, the mastermind in the north.

"My lord, where is Mr. Yuan Tan?" Hearing this, the team leader asked anxiously.

"As far as Yan Bei's health is concerned today, I'll visit you another day," Liu Bei ordered.

"promise!"

"Uncle, please," the old Taoist smiled.

"Thank you very much." Liu Bei led the soldiers and followed the old Taoist priest towards the Peach Blossom Temple.

At this time, two men who had been following behind with goods saw this scene, and they all looked towards Peach Blossom Temple in surprise, and they were only one step away. Who is this old Taoist priest, and why did they block Liu Bei's way? Things leaked, but it's impossible!

Just when the two were in a hurry, suddenly a fast horse rushed over from a distance, and after a servant dismounted, he apologized to the old Taoist priest who had just entered the door: "Master Li, my master has just been handed down by the lord. I've gone, I can't come to visit today, and I ask the Taoist priest to make amends."

"What?" The old Taoist shrank his pupils.

Liu Bei was also taken aback, it seems that the old Taoist made a mistake, he slowly retracted his right leg that stepped into the Peach Blossom Temple, and said with a wry smile: "Since Mr. Tian has something to do, then I will not stay with Bei, wait for the change." Rizai is here to pay homage to the Taoist priest”

The old Taoist looked at the threshold and said seriously: "Uncle Huang, are you really not going to go in and have a look?"

"No, thank you Daoist. I have been preparing for a lifetime of battle. I have already estimated life and death. If it really comes, I can't hide from it." left.

Looking at the figure on the horse again, the old Taoist shook his head and murmured: "It's God's will, it's God's will, the real dragon is about to be born, and the Qianlong abdicates to make way for the virtuous, one step away, the strength of the spirit can be judged by strength, no one can stop it "

"Li Daochang, what did you say?" the servant next to him asked curiously.

The old Taoist smiled wryly, and said, "Please tell Mr. Tian that the old Taoist is going to travel abroad today, so I will leave."

The servant was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, but still nodded.

After looking at Liu Bei's back for the last time, the old Taoist shook his head and said softly, "Close the door."

"Yes, master." The two boys immediately closed the door of Taohua Temple slowly.

At this time, Liu Bei, who was leaving, also looked back at the gate that was gradually closed, feeling inexplicable palpitations in his heart, but he still drove towards Yuan Tan's residence.

Seeing this scene, the two men following behind were immediately relieved, with smiles on their lips, and one of them said: "It's a big deal."
