At some point, the fog on the river surface dissipated. Standing on Mount Lu, looking around, I felt that the weather was extremely clear, and the clouds gradually flashed. The sky behind the clouds was as clear as a whole piece of blue, transparent glass. The sunlight slowly passed through the clouds and fell on people's tired but pleasant faces.

Lei Yuan and others did not know that the chief general of the Eastern Wu was just in the light boat at the foot of Mount Lu, nor did they know the price that Liu Yuzhou would pay to recruit tens of thousands of people. When the annoying Feng Xi finally left, everyone thought in their minds that the hard work of the past dozens of days was about to end, and their destination was just ahead of their vision. Everyone on Mount Lu, whether Jian Yong, Zhao Yun, Lei Yuan, Xin Bin, or Deng Tong, could not suppress the happiness in their hearts.

Deng Tong, He Song, Ding Feng, Guo Jing, Wang Yan and others are happy. For warriors like them who have struggled for too long in troubled times, it is enough to survive the difficult battles again and again; now, they may still have a bright future. Isn’t that a scene that only appears in their dreams?

Xin Bin is happy. Although the sect leader's health is getting worse day by day, with the rise of Xiaolangjun, the future of the Lujiang Lei family is still promising. In such a world, Xin Bin can no longer ask for more.

Jian Yong was happy. He was originally a person who was not particular about the details. At this time, he drank several cups of wine prepared for Feng Xizudao. He drank so hard that he was a little bit arrogant. So he waved his hand and began to sing the songs he loved in Zhuo County when he was young. He met Liu Yuzhou since he was a child, and he followed Liu Yuzhou when he was young, and he had been in charge of various occasions for more than 20 years. But Jian Yong was still the same Jian Yong, who had always been so simple, arrogant, ups and downs, and was not solemn. It was extremely rude that he sang in such occasions, but everyone around him was laughing, and there were even people who were excited to beat him.

Zhao Yun was also very happy. This young general who used to gallop across Hebei was nearly fifty years old. In order to pursue the benevolent politics in his heart, he also unswervingly accompanied the kind-hearted master in the most difficult times. Many people think that Zhao Yun is like the shadow of Liu Yuzhou. He lives with Liu Yuzhou day and night, happily with Liu Yuzhou's joy and Liu Yuzhou's worries... To be honest, there were too many worries in the past many years. But in the past two years, the situation that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly saw the dawn. This trip to the mountain will surely add a solid foundation to Liu Yuzhou's great cause... Zhao Yun is really happy, but he was used to being introverted, just looking at Jian Yong's funny movements and then smiling.

Lei Yuan is equally happy. Looking back on the short days of the past, the hesitation, hesitation, fear that once troubled him... have disappeared. Lei Yuan found the meaning of coming to this world and determined the direction of efforts that concern the future. Although he experienced many difficulties and lost his blood-connected brother and countless close partners, at this moment, his heart was filled with strong expectations for the future.

Fan Hong's scream alarmed the people who were immersed in joy: "Look, there is the navy of Liu Yuzhou in Xiakou City!"

So everyone went to see it together.

As the fog dissipated, the vision became clearer. You can see that there was a huge port facing Xiakou City. The port formed a complete defense system with Xiakou City through continuous rammed earth walls and watchtowers. The port is moored with nearly a hundred warships of all sizes, most of which are slings and boats, and there are two towering battle towers on the deck and femtoons with female walls. This kind of towering ship can carry hundreds of soldiers, and with heavy crossbows and hooks to fight against rockets. It is a well-deserved giant on the river. On the top of the watchtower, there is a big banner with the word "Liu". There is no doubt that it is the Jingzhou navy under Liu Yuzhou.

When Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, the Jingzhou naval army was strong, with thousands of ships of warships. More than 100,000 soldiers were able to fight on the water, which was enough to compete with the Eastern Wu Zhou army. Later, Cao Gong went south, and the Jingzhou naval army was defeated in the Red Cliff. The stars were scattered, and many grassroots soldiers gathered under Liu Yuzhou. Guan Yu was responsible for leading them.

While watching, several boats drove out of the port and came towards Mount Lu.

"I don't know who is coming? Let's go and see!" Jian Yong smiled and greeted everyone and rushed down the mountain.

Everyone called each other and followed. Some people were busy tidying up their clothes while walking. Tens of thousands of people arrived in Huainan, and Liu Yuzhou would inevitably send important officials to welcome them. No matter who came, they should not be rude.

The so-called boat walking is a fast ship with many boaters. The narrow body of this kind of ship is conducive to breaking the waves and can travel back and forth like flying gulls on the river. During the Battle of Red Cliff, Huang Gai, the general of the Eastern Wu, set fire to Cao Gong's naval camp, and used this kind of ship as a fireboat.

The boats were walking very quickly, and there was only a Mianshui River between Xiakou City and Lushan Mountain. So when everyone came to the small port with reeds at Quzhu, the small port with reeds growing everywhere, there were already groups of storks flying from the water surface, circling densely above the sky. The fleets of several boats were docking one after another.

Before the sailor tied the cable, a middle-aged man rushed from the bow to the shore. His movements were quite agile, but because the ground on the shore was so slippery that he did not stand firm when he landed. He staggered a few steps and had to wave his hands to maintain balance.

Who is this person?

Just as Lei Yuan thought of this, he heard Jian Yong beside him step forward and scream loudly: "Lord! Be careful!"

The middle-aged man heard Jian Yong's call and looked up and showed a bright smile: "Hahaha, Xianhe, don't worry. The newly replaced boots don't fit, it's okay! It's okay!"

This person is Jian Yong's lord? He is Liu Bei!

Liu Bei actually came in person!

Lei Yuan was shocked and hurriedly looked carefully at the middle-aged man from behind Jian Yong's shoulder.

I saw that this man was about fifty years old, dressed very simply, with obvious wear and fading on the edges of the robe. He had a long and thin face and deep eyes. Perhaps he was once a heroic appearance when he was young; but the traces left by the years on his forehead and the gray hair made him look far older than heroic at this moment. With his scary pair of big and wind-catching ears, it made people feel a little funny. On him, Lei Yuan could not see any majestic momentum, only a kind smile, like a veteran who had been away from the battlefield for a long time.

Lei Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. Is this Liu Bei? In his previous life, the story of Ji Han's first lord and Emperor Zhaolie's perseverance and accomplishing great achievements has long been well known. In this life, Lei Yuan once heard many people praise this kind-hearted lord, believing that he was a hero who could be compared with Cao Gong. But this is what Liu Bei looked like?

Well, maybe not every hero is majestic, but the middle-aged man in front of him who can't find any highlights in his body is really General Zuo, the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Bei, the Marquis of Yichengting?

When Lei Yuan was shocked and suspicious, Zhao Yun also quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Lord..."

Liu Bei took two steps, opened his arms and hugged Zhao Yun, and repeatedly slapped his back: "Zilong, thank you for your hard work! Hahaha, I knew you could do it!"

During the days when Lei Yuan and Zhao Yun were together, he gradually understood him. He knew that Zhao Yun was as handsome as a Confucian scholar. He could be used in daily life and could not easily surpass the norms. But Liu Bei hugged him without restraint, thanked him loudly, and laughed loudly.

Zhao Yun glanced at Lei Yuan with his own light and saw Lei Yuan's expression full of surprise. He quickly turned back a few steps, pulled Lei Yuan over, and introduced to Liu Bei: "Lord, this is the young man from the Lei family of Lujiang, Lei Yuan Lei Xuzhi. The reason why Xianhe and I fulfilled our mission this time is really due to Xu Zhi's deep understanding of the righteousness, and it is also inseparable from his unremitting support."

Lei Yuan bowed deeply: "Lujiang Lei Yuan, pay homage to Duke Xuande!"

Lei Yuan is not yet a subordinate of Liu Bei, so he is not called a lord.

As Liu Bei's official position, Lei Yuan and other people in the wild grass should have knelt on the ground to show their tribute when they saw him, but Lei Yuan did not do so. Even though he had decided to have a meal under the wings of General Zuo's mansion, it was still too flattering for Lei Yuan. Moreover, Lei Yuan was also a partner who planned to bring capital to invest.

Liu Bei seemed to have not paid attention to Lei Yuan's posture at all, so he took a step forward, held Lei Yuan's hand, and supported him.

At the same time, Liu Bei hesitated clearly for a moment, as if he was considering what to say. Finally, he grinned and said simply: "Thank you for Xuzhi! Thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Bei's arm strength was very strong, and his palms were very rough, and there were many hard calluses. It was indeed the hand of the veteran. Lei Yuan felt the warmth of his palm and his sincere attitude when he shook hands. He raised his head to see Liu Bei's eyes, and Lei Yuan suddenly realized that this look was different from everyone Lei Yuan saw in this life.

In this era, there are differences between people, including superiority and inferiority. When everyone interacts with others, they must constantly measure it, so as to choose appropriate majesty without exceeding the number of times. This hierarchical relationship between people may be necessary to maintain system and order, but in Lei Yuan's view, it is really a set of tedious things. After coming to this world, Lei Yuan got fed up with these and had to get used to them.

Only in Liu Bei's actions, language and eyes, Lei Yuan could not see this measure. Liu Bei wanted to express kindness, so he simply expressed kindness without any additional content. This simple and direct attitude instantly touched Lei Yuan.
