Chapter 19: The Axioms of the World, The Strong Is Respected (Part 2)
Liu Chuang wanted to ask Zhu Hai's identity several times, but the words were spoken, but he didn't know how to speak.
Zhu Hai means Guan Hai!
One of the 36th routes of the Yellow Turban Army... Why did he hide in a remote area of Qu County with such an identity? Liu Chuang never understood it.
Turn over and sit up, pick up a roll of bamboo slips from beside the pillow.
This military book has been read thoroughly, but Liu Chuang still doesn't know what military book it is.
When he accidentally swept a box in the corner of the house, Liu Chuang seemed a little hesitant. He lifted the quilt, walked over and squatted down, and his palm brushed over the wooden box, pondering. The box was always placed here, but Liu Chuang didn't know what was placed inside.
It seemed to be Liu Yong's thing. Although Liu Yong did not forbid him to touch it, and he did not make any restrictions. For some reason, Liu Chuang had never touched the box before, and he didn't even have the idea of getting close to it, so it was even more impossible to know what was in the box.
But Liu Chuang is very curious!
For some reason, he always felt that there was some secret hidden in the box and sent him a silent call.
Is it the initial instinct of this body?
Or is it another reason?
Liu Chuang gritted his teeth, slowly stretched out his hand, and placed it on the box.
Just as he was about to lift the box, footsteps came from outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the room was opened, and Zhu Hai came in with a pottery bowl, "Big Bear, why are you getting up?"
"Uncle Hai!"
Liu Chuang hurriedly stood up, "I have been lying for too long, and my bones are a little stiff. So I got up and walked around and moved my muscles and bones at the same time."
"Well, proper activities are also a good thing."
Zhu Hai said, put the pottery bowl on the wooden trunk on the floor, and waved to Liu Chuang over, "Drink the medicine first... There are a lot of things in the yamen these two days, and I will rush back to work later. After drinking the medicine, I will sleep for a while. The lunch is ready. If I haven't come back at noon, you can heat it up on the fire and eat it yourself... I don't know what happened in the yamen these two days, but there are so many things in the yamen."
Liu Chuang frowned, leaned over and took a look at the dark potion, and felt bitter in his mouth.
But he still gritted his teeth, picked up the pottery bowl, pinched his nose and drank it all.
Zhu Hai never said it, but Liu Chuang knew that although the potion was bitter, it was very valuable. In order to replenish the qi and blood, Zhu Hai bought five old ginseng, worth two gold coins. Zhu Hai said that the money to buy ginseng was a commission given by the Mi family. But Liu Chuang understood that no matter how generous the Mi family was, it would not be possible to give him so much money. The Mi family’s commission was only 5,000 yuan, and at best, buying an old ginseng was in danger.
This is all Zhu Hai’s own money!
As for where Zhu Hai got so much money, Liu Chuang could roughly guess the clues.
In his heart, he was even more grateful. After drinking the potion, he lay down again and whispered: "Uncle Hai, when will I recover?"
Zhu Hai said: "You forced a breakthrough in the last battle. Although you have reached the state of Cangxiong's transformation, your foundation is not solid.
In addition, if you have exhausted your qi and blood, it will take at least twenty or thirty days to complete your recovery. However, your qi and blood have recovered and you can resume your practice. But remember that you cannot work as hard as before, twice a day is enough, but too much will cause your qi and blood to lose.
Unfortunately, there is no century-old Liaodong ginseng in Xiao Langzhong.
If there are a century-old ginseng as a medicine guide, it is impossible to recover quickly, and it can recover in at most ten days."
A century-old Liaodong old ginseng?
Liu Chuang secretly grinned his teeth... The old ginseng he consumes now is about twenty or thirty years old. A piece of old ginseng costs five or six thousand yuan. If it is a century-old ginseng, the price may be several times higher. It is impossible to imagine without three or three hardware, and it is still a priceless one.
During the war, doctors are the most precious.
And those medicinal materials that can cultivate the essence and life are even hard to come by.
Liu Chuang did not expect to find the so-called century-old ginseng, so he just regarded Zhu Hai's words as a warning.
He lay down, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Zhu Hai rushed to him and said, "Pei Shao has already told me. I didn't expect that Big Bear, you are in Qu County, and you can guess my identity. I really underestimate you. However, I won't ask you how you guessed my identity, so don't ask me why you stayed in Qu County. In short, you just need to know that your Uncle Hai will never kill you."
"Uncle Hai..."
"What are you getting when you go to Huaiyin this time?"
Liu Chuang hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's nothing, I just feel that the gap between ideals and reality is too big!"
His words were inspired by his feelings.
Previously, Liu Chuang felt that with his foresight towards history and martial arts, he could gain a foothold under Liu Bei's account.
But after walking to Huaiyin, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were...
In this era where morality and family background are important, sometimes money is nothing.
This is an era of family background. There is a good man who is even better than a wealthy family... He has no family background and no reputation. His literary style is not as good as Chen Deng and Chen Qun. Wu is not the opponent of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, so why should he be valued by Liu Bei? He is a person who can even abandon his wife and children. People like Liu Chuang will meet every day. How many people will meet Liu Bei every day?
Even if Mi Zhu has a wealth of thousands of dollars, Liu Bei's eyes may not be as good as Chen Deng's words.
In such a situation, how easy is to make a name for yourself? If you don’t do it well, you will lose your life, which is not worth the loss.
So, join Liu Bei?
It seems that this road is blocked...
Zhu Hai said: "I don't know why you are optimistic about Liu Bei.
But I have dealt with this man and I have some understanding... Liu Bei is very ambitious and good at disguising, so many people think that he is the magnanimous and kind person. Little do they know that this man is extremely cunning and claims to be King Jing of Zhongshan and commits fraud everywhere. When Tao Qian asked him for help, Liu Bei was still working under Gongsun Zan... He borrowed thousands of troops from Gongsun Zan to Xuzhou, and then he did not return it. When Cao Cao's troops arrived in Xuzhou, Liu Bei once wrote a letter to advise Cao Cao to withdraw his troops...
It was also because he had good luck. When the Yanzhou Rebellion forced Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.
However, Liu Bei attributed this matter to himself and told everyone that Cao Cao was moved by his advice, so he withdrew his troops and stopped attacking Xuzhou.
With his three-inch tongue, he was able to live in Xuzhou. Not long after, he tricked him into Xuzhou from Tao Qian... He promised in front of Tao Qian's bed that he would protect Tao Qian's descendants... But now, who else would care about Tao Qian's two sons? Is this just care?"
"ah?"
Liu Chuang was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhu Hai said again: "Big Bear, do you know why I didn't go to Liu Bei?"
Liu Chuang shook his head and said he was not clear.
Zhu Hai said: "Liu Bei is a man who values literati and officials but is less than common people. Since taking charge of Xuzhou, he has continuously won over powerful people from all over Xuzhou.
He would not take people like me who have no background or reputation seriously. Even if he defected to him, it would be rare to use them... You can see how arrogant Zhang Fei is. In terms of fame and martial arts, how could he compare to Wen Hou? Wen Hou has only been in Xuzhou for more than a month, and this guy has been in trouble with Wen Hou several times, and even harshly speaking... People like you and me are probably bullied by Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's confidant, and Liu Bei can also see that he is like this.
I know you chose Liu Bei for the sake of your future... But I can guarantee that Liu Bei is not the best candidate, you'd better think twice before doing it."
Zhu Hai's words were earnest.
Liu Chuang heard it and nodded silently.
To be honest, he did have the idea of hugging his thighs, but after Zhang Fei's incident, this idea suddenly faded a lot.
Zhang Fei's arrogant and unreasonable attitude may be a true temperament, simple and cute in the eyes of outsiders; but in the situation, he will feel extremely disgusted and even hostile. Perhaps, if you want to gain a foothold in the Three Kingdoms, relying on embracing your thighs is not the best choice.
Even if you want to hug it, you still have to hug it...
If you want to gain a foothold in this era, the key is to yourself. The worldly axioms are actually summed up in one sentence, which is: the strong are respected!
Only when you become strong enough will countless people extend their olive branches.
This power includes all aspects, family background, fame, ability, wealth... Perhaps some things cannot be determined by themselves, such as family background and background; but some things can be obtained through their own efforts, such as fame and their own abilities.
Liu Chuang whispered: "Uncle Hai, stop talking, I understand."
Zhu Hai showed a smile on his face, "You are a smart person, so you can understand naturally."
He said so much, but he was afraid that Liu Chuang would not be able to think about it and be stubborn.
But now it seems that Liu Chuang doesn’t have to bother him too much. He can think of some things himself... This is very good!
"Then I'll go to the yamen, you have a good rest."
Zhu Hai stood up, turned around and went out.
Liu Chuang lay on the bed, thinking seriously about Zhu Hai's words.
Resigning to Liu Bei may not really be the best choice... But the question is, if I don’t resign to Liu Bei, who should I go to? Now it is the first year of Jian'an, and there are not many people to choose from. If I had been reborn a few years earlier, I would still have a chance to compete with the heroes.
Inside, a heartstring is touched.
