Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 29: Bai Shou and Ma Yu, what is this?

Bai Shou didn't know that Liu Feng had returned.

At this moment, he was happily calling on his tribesmen to carry food.

A middle-aged scholar, who looked out of place in the attire of the barbarians, came to Bai Shou in a hurry with a nervous look on his face: "Brother Bai, have you encountered any soldiers?"

Bai Shou said carelessly, "Just as my brother-in-law expected, I really encountered it."

The scholar's eyes widened and he stamped his feet: "Hey, I told you long ago, just rob once, just rob a thousand stones."

"Fan You is a coward by nature. If we drop a thousand dan of military rations on him, he will definitely lie and say that he helped the hungry people on the way."

"This way no one will investigate the matter any further, but you refused to listen to me, and now you are in big trouble."

Bai Shou put his arm around the scholar's shoulders and laughed, "Look how scared you are. The adopted son of the King of Hanzhong said that he would rather lose military rations for the people than harm the people for a few thousand dan of military rations."

"Not only that, he also told me to be careful about the steepness of the mountain and the road, and told me not to rush back and not to let my people get hurt in a hurry."

"I think this man has the benevolence and righteousness of the King of Hanzhong, and he will definitely not go back on his word."

The scholar's eyes widened. "The adopted son of the King of Hanzhong? The one who came here is the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong? Not the governor of Fangling, Deng Fu?"

Bai Shou nodded, "Yes, he is the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong. His name seems to be Liu Feng, yes, that is Liu Feng, and he is also a deputy general. Brother-in-law, how high is the rank of deputy general?"

The scholar looked up, looking hopeless: "I don't know how big it is, but I know that the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong will definitely not give up."

"I have seen the adopted son of King Hanzhong before. He has a strong personality and never admits defeat. How could he let you leave so easily?"

Bai Shou scratched his head: "Strong personality? Didn't you see that? I think the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong looks quite friendly."

"But the guards around him actually spoke disrespectfully to me. Fortunately, I responded with my brother-in-law's words, which left him speechless."

The scholar was stunned: "Looks familiar? Brother Bai, please tell me in detail."

Bai Shou then told the Confucian scholar in detail about his encounter with Liu Feng.

The Confucian scholar was surprised to hear this: "Could it be that the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong has become more stable after going through hardships in Sichuan?"

"This magnanimity and benevolence are exactly the same as those of the King of Hanzhong."

Bai Shou laughed: "I told you it's alright! Don't worry, we will celebrate tonight."

The Confucian scholar was still worried.

Immediately.

Bai Shou distributed the food to each family, held a grand banquet, and lit many bonfires in the village.

The barbarians sang and danced around the campfire to celebrate the fact that they had enough food for the winter.

Just when Bai Shou was excited.

A loud shout broke the silence in the mountains: "In such a joyous occasion, why not let me join in the fun."

Seeing Liu Feng and others barging in, Bai Shou was horrified: "General Liu, you, you, how did you get here?"

The barbarians were also panicked and gathered behind Bai Shou.

Liu Feng laughed: "Of course I walked up. There is no one at this mountain pass. It took me a long time to find it. I was exhausted."

In the past.

Bai Shou deployed human guards at the mountain pass.

The tribe was celebrating a big event today, so Bai Shou called all the tribe members back to the village to celebrate together, so naturally there was no one at the mountain pass.

Seeing that Liu Feng did not seem to have any intention of resorting to violence, Bai Shou asked cautiously, "I wonder what important matter has General Liu come here personally for? If I can do it, I will do it."

Liu Feng glanced at the frightened barbarians, and his eyes fell on a Confucian scholar wearing a Confucian robe and lowering his head. He pointed and asked, "Who is this?"

Bai Shou quickly said, "This man is my brother-in-law, his last name is Ma Yu."

Ma Yu did not dare to look up at Liu Feng. Liu Feng asked again: "Is he from Xiangyang?"

Bai Shou nodded repeatedly: "General, your guess is correct. My brother-in-law is indeed from Xiangyang."

Liu Feng looked at Ma Yu with a strange look in his eyes: "Ma Yu... If I'm guessing correctly, your brother-in-law should have a few younger brothers who are also serving as officials under my father."

Hearing this, Bai Shou nodded again: "Yes, yes, General Liu, you are right. That's why I said today that I am a Han Chinese, not a barbarian."

Ma Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead.

My brother Bai, don’t just answer whatever you ask.

Liu Feng laughed again: "Who is so bold as to plan to rob our army's rations? Ma Shuping, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to Ma Jichang by doing this?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide his identity, Ma Yu raised his head awkwardly and said, "I am Ma Yu, a humble man from the mountains. I am honored to meet General Liu. This matter was planned by me alone and has nothing to do with Ji Chang and the villagers here. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Bai Shou was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this and blocked Ma Yu behind him: "General Liu, you said that you would rather lose military rations for the people than harm the people for a few thousand dan of military rations."

"You are the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong, and you are also a distinguished deputy general. You can't go back on your word."

The barbarians also looked at Liu Feng nervously, and clenched their fists one by one.

If Bai Shou were to have a conflict with Liu Feng, this group of barbarians would definitely follow Bai Shou and fight with Liu Feng.

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

Liu Feng walked straight to a table, picked up the wine jar on the table, looked for a clean bowl and poured a bowl of wine.

Smelling the faint aroma of wine, Liu Feng exclaimed: "This fruit wine is quite fragrant."

Bai Shou said nervously, "General Liu, if you like, you can drink as much as you want."

Bai Yong, who was standing by, was not afraid of tigers. He shouted, "General Liu, don't even think about taking my uncle away. We are not afraid of you."

Bai Shou slapped Bai Yong and said, "Shut up."

Although Bai Yong was slapped in the face, he was still unconvinced and stared at Liu Feng angrily.

"That's enough. You make it seem like I'm a corrupt official and a bully." Liu Feng brought the wine bowl to Ma Yu and bowed again.

"Ma Shuping, I am currently commanding the army of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng, a thousand miles away, under the order of the king. I am currently in need of wise men who can make good decisions."

"If you are willing to follow me out of the mountains, drink this bowl of wine."

Ma Yu was stunned: "General Liu, I am just a commoner in the mountains, and my talent is not as good as that of my brother Ma Jichang. You are too much of an honor to ask me to come out of the mountains to help you."

Liu Feng chuckled: "I am not my father either, so I naturally don't need a talented and capable person like Ma Jichang."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. There are not many talented horses in this world, but there are many talented horses."

"As a horse breeder, am I afraid that I won't be able to find a few poor horses?"

Please don't be as good as the general.

Liu Feng praised the Ma Liang brothers as both talented and a thousand-mile horse, and as for Ma Yu, he simply called him a poor horse with little talent.

This directly aroused Ma Yu's dissatisfaction.

I was just being modest!

I'm being modest!

Ma Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "If I follow you out of the mountains and I plan to rob the army's rations, how will you deal with it?"

Liu Feng pretended to be surprised: "What do you mean by stealing military rations? Is that true?"

"You are Chief Bai's brother-in-law. I have come here specially to invite you out of the mountains and bring you these five thousand stones of grain as your settlement fee."

"What's wrong with that?"
