Zuixian Pavilion, the largest and best restaurant in Wancheng.

It is well-known for its delicious food and wine, and it is rumored that the word Zuixian was bestowed by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu himself.

Liu Zhang brought his guards and Huang Zhong to the gate of Zuixian Pavilion.

"Huang Zhuangshi, what's wrong?"

Huang Zhong's face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Young Master Liu is very kind, Huang Zhong should have invited you to dinner."

"But Huang Zhong's family is poor, so he really can't thank the young master here."

Liu Zhang slapped his forehead, smiled and shook his head.

"You worry too much, I invite you today."

"The villain dare not let the young master spend money! If the young master has an order, you can tell Huang Zhong directly."

"I'll let you come in with me now."

Liu Zhang also ignored Huang Zhong and walked in first.

Huang Zhong gave Liu Zhang a complicated look, and followed him.

The two found a private room, and Liu Zhang arranged the guards to wait outside, and he wanted to talk to Huang Zhong alone.

"Liu Zhang is too young to drink alcohol, so we will replace wine with tea today. Mr. Huang, please!"

Liu Zhang held a small cup, Huang Zhong held up the wine cup, and both of them drank in one gulp.

"It is rumored that Mr. Liu has amazing intelligence, which is rare in the ages. Sure enough, his reputation is well-deserved!"

"Huang Zhuangshi is being polite, I wonder if Huang Zhuangshi has any difficulties?"

Huang Zhong felt bitter in his heart at the moment, and was very eager to find someone to talk to.

The boss's oppression, Huang's making things difficult, his wife's expectations, and the child's illness all overwhelmed Huang Zhong.

Thinking of his miserable situation, Huang Zhong's eyes turned red.

"Hey! I'm not afraid of my son's jokes..."

Huang Zhong confides his experience to Liu Zhang.

It turned out that Huang Zhong and Jiangxia Huang's family came from the same origin, but since Huang Zhong's grandfather left Jiangxia and came to Nanyang.

Huang Zhong's grandfather and father never had contact with Jiang Xia's lineage again, nor did they mention their lineage's grievances with Jiang Xia's Huang family.

Huang Zhong's parents died early, and his wife, Zhang's family, helped him.

Huang Zhong also got along with Zhang Shi since childhood, and the two were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was very good. After getting married, they had a son, Huang Xu.

However, Zhang's body is weak, and after giving birth to Huang Zhong's son, he can no longer add children to Huang's family.

Not only did Huang Xu not inherit Huang Zhong's strong physique, but he was very thin like his mother, and had been sickly since childhood.

Huang Zhong and his wife scattered all their wealth, barely allowing Huang Xu to live until now.

If Huang Xu wants to live, he needs a lot of money. Pointing to Huang Zhong's salary as a county soldier is far from enough.

Huang Zhong had no choice but to go to Jiangxia, and beg Huang's family to save him in the face of the same clan.

"Hey. Things backfired! I was impulsive and offended Mrs. Huang instead."

Seeing a man like Huang Zhong burst into tears, Liu Zhang was very moved.

A penny beats a hero! It was really not easy for Huang Zhong.

Maybe thousands of people can't make him, Huang Zhong, lower his haughty head. But now they have to bow their heads to the yellow and white things.

"Is there no way to cure Huang Xu's disease?"

Huang Zhong sighed and wiped away his tears.

"Master Zhang Ji once gave me a party, which made me even more desperate."

"What recipe?"

"The other medicinal materials in this prescription are fine, but one of them needs a plant of ten thousand year ginseng!"

"What! Ten thousand years?"

Liu Zhang widened his small eyes, what is the concept of ten thousand years?

How long is human history until now?

Let's not talk about whether there is such a ginseng, even if there is, can it be Huang Xu's turn?

This almost sentenced Huang Xu to death.

Liu Zhang's reaction made Huang Zhong even more disheartened.

Can a commoner like him still touch a fetish that shocks even the children of rich families?

"Huang Zhuangshi, Wannian ginseng is too shocking! Is there no other way?"

"Now it is replaced by century-old ginseng, and it can barely survive."

"century…"

Liu Zhang muttered to himself, even a hundred-year-old ginseng is a rare thing!

"What plans does Huang Zhuangshi have in the future?"

"The income of the county soldiers is probably far from enough!"

Huang Zhong lowered his head and did not speak.

That's right, the meager income of the county soldiers can only keep the couple alive, so how can they treat Huang Xu's illness?

If it wasn't really desperate, how could I kneel in front of Huang's gate!

Seeing that Huang Zhong had been cornered, Liu Zhang knew that the opportunity to recruit him had come.

"Huang Zhuangshi has great skills, isn't it a waste of time to be a soldier?"

"Although I, Liu Zhang, am young, I have great ambitions. I admire Huang Zhuangshi, a loyal person like Huang Zhuangshi."

"If Huang Zhuangshi is willing to follow me, I will bear the cost of Huang Xu's medical treatment in the future."

Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he asked:

"What did you ask Mr. Huang to do?"

"Follow me for life, only my life is my life!"

"Furthermore, my father has been transferred to be the governor of Jizhou, and the whole family will go to Jizhou in three days."

Huang Zhong frowned, his expression darkened.

Liu Zhang is asking Huang Zhong to sell himself to him!

Huang Zhong has the arrogance of the family in his bones, how can he agree!

"My son is kind, thank you very much."

"Although Huang Zhong was expelled from the Huang family, the blood of the family is still flowing, how can he be guarded by others!"

"Huang Zhong can't agree, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Liu Zhang was not annoyed by Huang Zhong's refusal, but just walked up to Huang Zhong and patted him on the shoulder.

"Eh."

"Don't rush to answer me, you can go back and think about it."

Liu Zhang walked to the door and looked back at Huang Zhong.

"There are three hundred-year-old ginseng trees in my mansion, and I will give them to Huang Zhuangshi no matter whether Huang Zhuangshi agrees or not."

"Three days later, at the east gate of Wancheng, strong man Huang can come to fetch ginseng."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Huang Zhong and turned to leave.

Three days passed quickly, and Liu Yan's family set off for Jizhou.

But these three days were extremely difficult for Liu Zhang, and he couldn't even calm down.

This is the first time Liu Zhang has recruited talents, which means a lot to him.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many people from aristocratic families, and most of the talents were from aristocratic families, so it was not easy to recruit.

Liu Zhang needs to cherish every poor family, ordinary people, and even down-and-out talents.

"Zhang'er, aren't you feeling well?"

Mother Fei looked at Liu Zhang with worried expression. This child belongs to the revival of the Liu family, so she has to pay attention to it.

"Thank you, mother, for your concern, my son is fine!"

Liu Zhang shook his head with a smile, then looked outside, the city gate was already in front of him.

"My lord, my son has an appointment at the city gate, and I will stop at the city gate later."

"it is good."

The carriage stopped slowly, and Liu Zhang knew that the result would be announced soon.

After several deep breaths, Liu Zhang calmed down his nervousness and got off the carriage.

"Young Master Liu!"

Huang Zhong saw Liu Zhang at a glance, and led his wife to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang took a box and handed it to Huang Zhong.

"Huang Zhuangshi, here are the three century-old ginsengs I promised you, please keep them well!"

Huang Zhong took it tremblingly, feeling extremely moved in his heart.

Although Liu Zhang was young, he kept his promise and didn't ask himself whether he would follow it.

"Han Sheng!"

Mrs. Zhang softly called Huang Zhong who was in a daze, and then nodded slightly.

Huang Zhong made a decision immediately and knelt down in front of Liu Zhang.

"Huang Zhong's life will belong to the young master from now on! Please save my son's life, young master."

Zhang and Huang Xu also knelt down together.

"Huang Zhuangshi, Mrs. Huang please get up!"

"Although Liu Zhang is young, he knows very well that a gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

"I will be responsible for Huang Xu's illness to the end!"

The boulder weighing on Liu Zhang's heart finally fell!

Subduing Huang Zhong, a general, made him take a solid step on the road to hegemony!

"Zhang'er, what is this?"

Seeing three people kneeling in front of Liu Zhang, Liu Yan hurried over.

"Father, this is my new guard, Huang Zhong."

"This is his family."

Liu Zhang's tone was very excited, and he still couldn't restrain his excitement.

"Meet Master Liu."

Huang Zhong's family hurriedly saluted Liu Yan, the governor of Jizhou was no different from the emperor to common people like them.

"Well, protect my son from now on."

Liu Yan didn't pay much attention to Huang Zhong. In his opinion, Huang Zhong was at most a slightly better guard.

"Zhang'er, hurry up and get on the road."

"Yes! Father!"
