The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 100 Prelude to the Military Parade
prelude to military parade
Zhao Zilong is now dressed in white, with a very kind face, but he is no longer as handsome and upright as he once wrote in the book, nor is he as dazzling as a white horse or a silver gun; The age grooves left on his face and the silver-white hair; perhaps only this is enough to prove how many glorious years he has witnessed, how many past years,,,

"Uncle Yun" Zhuge Qiao finally called out after a brief astonishment.

"Come! Come in with Uncle Yun, and talk about what you have done in the past few years that His Majesty is proud of," Zhao Yun teased Zhuge Qiao.

"Uncle Yun, don't make fun of me! The things I have done would not have been possible without His Majesty's support, and they are all thanks to His Majesty," Zhuge Qiao replied, curling his lips.

"Uncle Yun, there is one more thing I have to thank Uncle Yun; if Uncle Yun hadn't selected the elite of the army for me in the past, I would not have such combat power." Zhuge Qiao bowed and clasped his fists.

"This is the prime minister's order, how dare you refuse to follow?" Zhao Yun covered it with one word.

Seeing Zhao Yun's humility, Zhuge Qiao didn't intend to say anything. After all, Zhao Yun didn't need to think too much about his personality.

More than an hour passed slowly, and after discussing the military parade with Zhao Yun, he was ready to run to his home to meet his parents who had been away for many days.

But before he had time to walk out of the camp gate, he was stopped by Deng Ai again; "Lieutenant, something serious has happened! All the clans in the whole prefecture joined the list and asked His Majesty to give them an explanation for the attack on the Yizhou clan. Now They are waiting outside the palace to be received by His Majesty," Deng Ai narrated hastily.

"It's a coincidence to be in a hurry! Let's go meet them." Zhuge Qiao responded indifferently, as if all of this was not beyond his expectations.

In the city of Chengdu, there are nearly a thousand people outside the emperor's palace tightly surrounded here. Even though the gatekeepers at the gate of the palace hold cold and bright halberds and hold each other tightly, they don't seem to have the slightest fear; There is an example first, the purpose of 'quick sand' is to slaughter the family, if you don't come to the emperor for protection, who can predict the result.

"Your Majesty is here!" Following the voice of the waiter, the yellow canopy slowly appeared, and Liu Bei appeared in front of everyone in the emperor's exclusive royal chariot.

The family members of the aristocratic family seemed to be shocked by Liu Bei's guard of honor, and they all knelt down on the ground to "meet His Majesty the Emperor"; at this time Zhuge Qiao and Deng Ai also came outside the palace gate, watching the situation change I didn't even intend to get involved.

Liu Bei didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't respond for a long time, but he seemed to do it on purpose, but the waiter beside the car didn't hold back, "Your Majesty, the family is still kneeling." A small soldier gently turned to Liu Bei. preaching.

Following the waiter's wishes, Liu Bei said in a deep voice to the family: "Pingshen"

"Thank you, Your Majesty" the family slowly stood up, but the look on their faces seemed a little more dignified!

"What are you talking about?" Liu Bei said slowly, and there seemed to be a hint of boredom in his words that was not easy to detect.

At this time, the clans all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Liu Bei. Only a few leaders did not show any fear of Liu Bei. At that time, how many families in Yizhou perished at the hands of quicksand; we were timid, and we were all afraid that quicksand would point the finger at us one day, so I hereby ask your majesty to protect us from quicksand; Then please Your Majesty, you can capture the quicksand and punish it severely! Otherwise, I will wait,,," a middle-aged man said forbidding.

"You don't need to hide it in front of me, just be honest with me," Liu Bei said in a deep voice when he saw the man's prophecy prohibiting him.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, we will move our family out of Yizhou and find another place to live."

As soon as the words came out, all the clans seemed to clenched their fists at this moment, waiting for the so-called fate to be pronounced; because all this was beyond their expectations, according to the scenario that the clans had expected at the previous gathering: His Majesty the Emperor sees Most of the aristocratic families in Yizhou are surrounded by the palace, so they must be afraid, and treat each other with courtesy, and then put forward the purpose of this trip, coercing Liu Bei to agree; but the current posture shown by Liu Bei does not seem to take them to heart at all .

"One thing, I haven't had time to inform you all; the quicksand has been captured by the Imperial Forest Army dispatched by me, and is currently on the way to escort, and will arrive in Chengdu soon, please rest assured," Liu Bei replied slowly, still not in a hurry.

As soon as the words came out, all the people's faces were numb, and their hearts trembled uncontrollably; they couldn't believe that the mighty quicksand would be captured by the Imperial Forest Army, and they had unbelievable expressions, but they didn't dare to question Liu Bei.

However, things in the world are always so coincidental; there is a sound of rumbling horseshoes, approaching this way quickly, "Your Majesty, the last general will not disgrace his mission. He will travel through dozens of counties and counties and finally capture the quicksand, and present it today." Chen Dao led the Imperial Forest Army Walking in front of Liu Bei's car, he knelt down and worshiped.

"Haha. Have you heard that before! Chen Dao, the commander-in-chief of the imperial court, has escorted the quicksand back! Bring them up" as Liu Bei's words fell to the ground;

All the people also fixed their eyes in the direction of Chen's arrival, looking forward to the person they hoped for in their hearts.With the anticipation of the crowd, the four men in black who were tied up were pushed towards the eyes of the crowd, followed by two heads.

"Your Majesty, according to reports, there were originally nine people in Quicksand, and then three people were lost. The last six people are here now." Chen Dao pointed to the four people including the two heads and said in a deep voice.

However, all the families here stared wide-eyed, their faces were full of horror, and they reacted with shock and overreaction, making them unbelievable. After all, this time is too coincidental;
"Since the quicksand has been captured, what do you think should be done with it?" Liu Bei asked.

When hearing Liu Bei's remarks, the aristocratic family who had been silent behind could no longer bear the emotions in their hearts at this time, and shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill,,,

At this time, Zhuge Qiao, who was hiding in the crowd of the aristocratic clan, did not follow the shouts of the crowd, but fixed his eyes on the four men in black who were considered to be quicksand; but he did not read anything from their expressions. Things, just standing there with an unmoved expression.

"Since you hate quicksand so much, I will kill these four people in the vegetable market in Chengdu today as you wish, and announce to the world that quicksand has been destroyed and Yizhou has been stabilized." Following the voices of all the families, Liu Bei stood up gestured.

"A hero is a hero," Zhuge Qiao said silently among the crowd.
