At that time, Lu Su's home had two large circular granaries, each containing three thousand dendrobium rice. Lu Su pointed to one of them without hesitation and presented it to Zhou Yu.

From then on, because of their congenial spirit, the two became close friends who talked about everything.

After Yuan Shu knew Lu Su's fame, he wanted to invite Lu Su to be the mayor of the East City. However, Lu Su found that Yuan Shu's subordinates were lax in law and could not achieve great things, so he led hundreds of people and moved south to Juchao to join Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu defected to Sun Ce, he invited Lu Su to join him, left Juchao, and rushed to Wu County where Sun Ce was located.

Sun Ce appreciated Lu Su very much, but it was a pity that before Lu Su could advise Sun Ce to attack Jiangdong, news of his grandmother's death suddenly came, so Lu Su had no choice but to leave Sun Ce and return to Dongcheng to attend to his grandmother's funeral.

Therefore, he perfectly missed the process of Sun Ce's capture of Jiangdong, and did not enter the second generation of the Sun family's power team.

Zhou Yu was very convinced of Lu Su's talent. During Lu Su's filial piety for his grandmother, he kept writing letters to him.

From the appearance, Lu Su was more than eight feet tall, with a burly body, and he was not just an ordinary weak scholar.

You know, when Yuan Shu was leading his clansmen to move to the Nest, after Yuan Shu heard the news, he sent troops to chase and stop him, but was scared by Lu Su's terrifying power to shoot through several shields with a bow, so he retreated immediately.

At this moment, Lu Su was standing in front of his family's Wubao, his gaze fell on the men in Taoist robes a foot away.

But he kept muttering in his heart, this month, this group of people, don't know how many waves of Taoist priests passed by his Wubao?

Lu Su stood at the front with his eyes on the opposite side. After sizing up the blind and lame old Taoist for a moment, he suddenly remembered a strong man with a very high status and status, and asked with a chuckle, "But Mr. Wujiao ?”

Zuo Ci looked worried, leaning on a cane, covered his mouth with one hand and coughed softly, "It is said that Lu Zijing is willing to donate money and help the poor."

"The old Taoist is penniless, can you give me some relief?"

Faced with Lu Su's question, Zuo Ci did not answer directly, but instead made a request that seemed too difficult for him.

Standing behind Zuo Ci, Wei Boyang, Zhong Liquan and the others looked indifferent, and they were used to Zuo Ci's scoundrel-like behavior.

After Zuo Ci and the others left Xuchang that day, they originally planned to enter Shuzhong to discuss with Wu Dou Mi Dao, but after sensing the drastic change in the void, they changed their minds, and they all turned to Jiangdong together.

Along the way, Zuo Ci's true nature remained unchanged, he played tricks on the powerful and the powerful from time to time, which opened everyone's eyes.

The current Lu Su, in their view, was just another powerful local who had been teased by Zuo Ci.

Among the crowd, only those with the best skills and eyesight, such as Wei Boyang and Zhongliquan, could notice that even after Lu Su recognized Zuo Ci, he still looked calm and relaxed.

Under the different gazes of everyone, Lu Su let out a long laugh, and said to Zuo Ci, "There are rumors in the world that Mr. Wujiao acts strangely, and I can't deceive you."

The laughter stopped, and he said solemnly, "That day when Zhou Gongjin came to borrow grain from me, I gave him a warehouse of three thousand dendrobium rice."

"Since all the Taoist priests are here today, I, Lu Zijing, don't talk too much. I don't hesitate to say anything, whether it's food or property."

Hearing Lu Su speak so grandly, several Taoists who didn't have much impression of him before couldn't help but change their minds greatly.

Only Zuo Ci had a strange expression, raised his crutches in his hand, lightly paused on the ground and said, "Don't talk too much, little guy, old Taoists don't like to listen to it very much."

Zuo Ci's long sleeves were hanging down, and with a slight flick, a cool breeze blew up in the void, and then said with a bit of teasing in his tone, "Do you know what it means to cover the sky with big sleeves?"

"The old man's long sleeves hide everything inside. The food and belongings in your family are not enough for me to wear on my sleeves!"

Lu Su was startled when he heard the words, recalling the rumors about Zuo Ci, he knew that the other party was a cultivator who liked to play games in the world, but had great supernatural powers and amazing means.

Maybe, as he himself said, he possesses some supernatural power that can take away all the food and property in Wubao in one sleeve.

But he had already boasted about Haikou before, but now he couldn't regret it. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wujiao, as a senior, will definitely leave enough rations for our family of more than a hundred people."

"Everything else..."

Before Lu Su finished speaking, Zuo Ci interrupted, "The old man is not a devil, how could he really take away all your food and belongings."

"If you really act like that, once someone unfortunately dies, the subsequent karma will not be easily resolved."

"This cultivator does not take it!"

When it came to the last few words, Zuo Ci was decisive, but he took a deep look at Lu Su with his faint eyes.

Lu Su was speechless for a moment.

Because he talked too much, even if he wanted to make amends, he was still quite embarrassed by Zuo Ci's rhetorical question.

I had to pretend to look at the other Taoists, and asked curiously, "Mr. Wujiao and all the Taoist priests are in a hurry, where are you going?"

These words were turned very bluntly, and after hearing the words, several Taoist priests who had escaped temperament couldn't help but chuckle.

But Lu Su looked as usual, as if he didn't hear the laughter of these people, staring into Zuo Ci's eyes, waiting for the other party's reply.

Zuo Ci chuckled, and cut straight to the point, "All of us want to go to Jiangdong under the rule of Sun Ce to experience human customs and customs..."

This time it was Lu Su's turn to show a meaningful smile, pointing to Wei Boyang in the crowd and said, "This Taoist priest, if I remember correctly, is originally from Kuaiji County. Do you also need to go to Jiangdong to experience human customs?"

Wei Boyang (151-221), whose real name was Wei Ao and courtesy name Boyang, was born in Shangyu, Kuaiji (now Shangyu District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province).

He is the son of Shangshu Wei Lang, and Wei Lang was listed as one of the Three Monarchs and Eight Talents in the "Disaster of the Party", and he is a well-known Qingliu figure in the world, as famous as Li Ying and others.

But what was unexpected was that although Wei Boyang was born in a prominent family, he was good-natured by nature, and he refused to be an official, living in leisure to cultivate his character.

It was also by chance that Lu Su knew that there was such a maverick ascetic, so he was able to catch the loopholes in Zuo Ci's words in one fell swoop.

But Zuo Ci's thick skin surpassed that of Lu Su's by a little, and he didn't care about Lu Su's verbal attacks. He shook his head and said, "Wei Boyang has been away from home for many years, and he has always lived in Luoyang Beimang Mountain and devoted himself to cultivation."

"I almost forgot everything about my hometown. Why not follow the old Taoist back to Jiangdong this time?"

Lu Su rolled his eyes and almost laughed out of breath.

Facing Zuo Ci's lazy attitude and completely disregarding the image of a senior, he is like a good boy who is as pure as jade, so how can he be Zuo Ci's opponent?

Zuo Ci's eyelids drooped, and a sense of amusement flashed across his eyes, concealing a sly look of complacency, and he stopped when he saw it, "It's getting late, as long as you can let us stay overnight, and then make some supper."

Lu Su gave the old Taoist a bitter look, and stretched out his hand to lead him, "Mr. Wujiao and everyone, please come with me and go into the castle for a rest."

At this moment, Lu Su finally understood the entangled mentality of those rich and powerful who were teased by Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci is known as one of the "Three Great Immortals in the World". As a top figure among ascetics, he deliberately pretends to be clinging to his elders, but everyone can't catch the loopholes in his words, and he can successfully play tricks every time.

Fortunately, Lu Su's mentality was stable, and when facing Zuo Ci's teasing, he didn't show any resistance at all, thus successfully escaped the catastrophe.

Standing in Wei Boyang, several Taoist priests behind Zhong Liquan looked at each other, and they all noticed the disappointment in the eyes of others.

Along the way, I have seen a lot of the arrogance and tyranny of the powerful nobles, and their embarrassment after being teased by Zuo Ci. When they suddenly met Lu Su who knew the general, even Zuo Ci refused to give birth to a teasing mentality, which disappointed everyone.

Zuo Ciyuan's spirit sensed the surroundings, sensed the hearts of everyone, and hummed dissatisfiedly.

Volume Six Three Kingdoms Warriors Chapter 28: Guan Ren

After a night of silence, the next morning, Zuo Ci and others accepted Lu Su's farewell gift and continued on their way to Wu County.

As they got closer and closer to Wu Jun, everyone found a lot of Taoists with the same goal as themselves through different methods.

They even discovered that many Taoists were acquaintances who had met once in the Xuchang Palace.

After these people found the trace of Zuo Ci's party, they came to say hello to Zuo Ci, and then left automatically, without any plan to go with Zuo Ci.

On this day, everyone finally stepped into the territory of Yangzhou, Liyang County, Jiujiang County, toured around the county, and found

Stay in an inn.

After Qin Shihuang swept the six kingdoms to unify the world, he abolished the enfeoffment and changed it to the system of prefectures and counties, dividing the whole world into 36 counties, including Jiujiang County.

Shouchun, where Jiujiang County is located, was named because of the many water marshes in the territory.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Jiujiang County cut off the western border and set up Hengshan County, cut off the southern border and put Lujiang, Yuzhang two counties, and the scope of Jiujiang County was greatly reduced.

In April of the first year of King Han (206), Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, granted Yingbu the title of King of Jiujiang, and the fief was in Jiujiang County.

Later, after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he wiped out the princes and kings who were enfeoffed in order to win over the manpower during the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han.

Liu Bang changed Jiujiang County to Huainan State and granted it to his youngest son Liu Chang.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after Huainan King Liu An committed suicide on suspicion of treason, the Huainan Kingdom was abolished and Jiujiang County was restored.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuzhong rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, retained the county seat of Jiujiang County, and also moved the state seat of Yangzhou to Liyang County in Jiujiang County.

Later, although they moved to Shouchun and Hefei for a time, both Liyang, Shouchun and Hefei were all in Jiujiang County.

Therefore, Jiujiang County was the first county in Yangzhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although because of the constant battles over the years, Liyang County, like other places, is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

But everyone can still see the bustling scene of that year from the row upon row of buildings and shops on both sides of the streets in the county, the passing of people and cars on the streets, and the more boiling voices than other places.

When everyone rested for a while and gathered in the lobby of the inn, Zhang Bao stepped into the inn with his head held high when they were about to inquire about the news.

He swept his eyes and saw Zuo Ci and others sitting at a few tables near the window, chatting leisurely and leisurely, his expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Zuo Ci's voice saying, "Come here and talk to me, the old Taoist..."

Zhang Bao pondered for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, he turned his head and glanced at the several companions behind him, then raised his feet and walked towards where Zuo Ci and the others were.

Most of the companions who appeared with Zhang Bao wore the same Dao Po as Zhang Bao, and they all seemed to belong to the same line of Taoism.

Among them was a young man with an ordinary appearance, about 22 or [-] years old, but he was wearing ordinary clothes, and his relationship with Zhang Bao and others seemed a little alienated.

Following Zhang Bao's actions, the group of people looked towards the window at the same time, and when they saw the very obvious Zuo Ci, everyone was secretly startled.

The name of the "Three Great Sanxians in the World" is so prominent, and Zuo Ci's blind and lame features are so striking, even Lu Su, who is not from the Taoist sect, knows his famous name. These Taoist people, Naturally, he recognized Zuo Ci at a glance.

Everyone braced themselves and followed behind Zhang Bao, step by step to the window where Zuo Ci and the others were resting.

Zhang Bao first gave a salute to Zuo Ci, then casually sized up Wei Boyang, Zhong Liquan and the others, feeling secretly in his heart, and asked, "I heard from others that Mr. Wujiao brought fellow Taoists into Shu ?"

"I didn't expect to meet each other in this Liyang County. It's really nowhere in life that we don't meet..."

But Zuo Ci didn't give Zhang Bao a good look, and said in a cold tone, "The little guy means that he wants to satirize my old man, say one thing on the surface, and do another thing behind his back, and come back to Yangzhou instead of going to Shuzhong? "

Faced with Zuo Ci's groundless accusation, Zhang Bao only felt cold sweat protruding from his forehead and trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to refute at all.

Among the "Three Great Immortals in the World", Zuo Ci is notorious for his eccentric temper, and he will attack people casually without saying a word, making the other party unable to step down.

Right now Zhang Bao could only complain secretly, resenting himself for why he insisted on coming up to say hello to the old guy Zuo Ci?

Wouldn't it be the best choice to just turn around and leave as if Zuo Ci hadn't been discovered at all?

But then he remembered that it was Zuo Ci who transmitted the sound first, no matter how daring he was, he would not dare to leave without coming up to say hello.

His mouth twitched slightly, and before he could say anything, the young man in uniform had already opened his mouth and said, "Pingyuan Guanren, I have seen Mr. Wujiao."

Zuo Ci let out a light snort, his eyes flashed, and he looked carefully up and down Guan Ren, puzzled, "You are a fortune teller, why come to Jiangdong to join in the fun?"

Guan Ren smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

At this time, he had just entered the rivers and lakes not long ago, and naturally he did not have the well-known name of "magic calculation" that spread throughout the world. Facing Zuo Ci's ridicule, he felt speechless for a while, and could only slander Zuo secretly in his heart. Ci really has a strange temperament.

After teasing Guan Ren for a while, Zuo Ci turned his eyes to Zhang Bao, staring at Zhang Bao's face without blinking, as if he wanted Zhang Bao to give himself a satisfactory answer for the "taunt" just now. .

Zhang Bao laughed, but suddenly he felt chills all over his body, a terrifying aura covering himself like that, he couldn't stop laughing.

He is also a resolute person, so he immediately said in a rascal tone like a bachelor, "Senior and my master are of the same generation, so naturally they are also my elders."

"I asked myself the question just now, there is nothing wrong with it, if the senior insists on blaming me, I am willing to bear everything."

Zuo Ci reached out and patted the table in front of him heavily, rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Get lost!"

Zhang Baoru heaved a long sigh of relief in Feng Lun's voice, turned around to greet his companions, and fled the inn in a hurry.

After leaving the inn, they didn't even dare to stay in Liyang County any longer, bought some food on the street at random, and immediately left the county on the road.

When they walked out of the city gate, they realized that Guan Ren was nowhere to be seen. After discussing for a while, everyone felt that this young man who had been somewhat indifferent along the way had decided to part ways with himself and the others after seeing Zuo Ci.

In the inn, as Zhang Bao and the others disappeared, Guan Ren did not leave together, but stayed beside Zuo Ci and the others calmly.

Zhong Liquan gave Guan Ren a strange look, and asked, "Why didn't the young man leave with Zhang Daoyou?"

Seeing that Guan Ren was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was obviously not a fellow Taoist, so he didn't call Guan Ren a Taoist friend.

Guan Ren smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I met Zhang Jiaozhu on the way, and we walked together together, and we can leave automatically anytime and anywhere."

Although the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed by local government forces, there are still many remnants who persist in fighting; moreover, the Taiping Taoists, who are the backbone, also lost their strength under the official suppression, but the official cannot completely eliminate them.

The leader of Taipingdao was originally the "great virtuous and good teacher" Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao died. After Zhang Bao escaped by feigning death, he naturally inherited the position of leader of Taipingdao.

Although ordinary people don't know the secrets, all schools of Taoism know this news like the back of their hands.

Strictly speaking, Guan Ren is not a member of Taoism, but he also has his own channels to know about Zhang Bao's succession as the leader of Taiping Taoism.

A Taoist who was traveling with Zuo Ci gave Guan Ren a strange look, and said curiously, "I heard that your divination skills are unparalleled in the world, can you do the math for the poor, and whether this trip to Jiangdong will go smoothly in the end? "

At this time, Guan Ren's reputation is not obvious, but there are some well-informed people who already know that his ability is really great, and this Taoist is one of them.

At the same time, in order to show that he did not force Guan Ren to divination, he even called Guan Ren by his honorific title, showing his magnanimous attitude.

Guan Ren quietly glanced at Zuo Ci, who was shaking his head and thinking, as if he didn't care about everything, and replied with a wry smile, "Brother Dao, don't listen to other people's rumors, my little brother's divination skills are nothing more than trivial skills!"

The Taoist who opened his mouth let out a heck, apparently not believing Guan Ren's self-effacing statement.
