When the march arrived at the city, there were still no traces of bandits around. Liu Bei, who was riding a horse, had to stop the horse and ask the defenders to open the city.

However, the defenders on the city were indifferent and even showed a vigilant look on their guard.

Seeing this, Liu Bei remembered that his own banner had forgotten to unfold, and the defenders might have mistakenly regarded him as a bandit.

So he went up to report the title to eliminate the concerns of the defenders. However, before he could speak first, he heard a cheerful shout from the city tower: "Uncle Liu, why is it you?"

Liu Bei was stunned and looked up at the city tower. He saw a head protruding from the battlement of the city wall and looking down.

The sun was above his head, and it was a boy in armor, full of heroic spirit.

"Boy Xiahou, why are you here!"

The one who recognized Xiahou An first was Zhang Fei beside Liu Bei, and his voice was as loud as ever.

The voice was filled with joy. Although he had only met for one time before, he really liked this kid.

Even Guan Yu, who looked at people coldly on weekdays, couldn't help but hold his eyes a little while when he stroked his beard with one hand, and smiled slightly.

When Zhang Fei shouted, Liu Bei also reacted.

He had a deep impression of Xiahou An. At first, when the princes attacked Dong, Liu Bei claimed his identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty. Everyone was ridiculing and ridiculing. Even though the three brothers joined forces to defeat the strongest Lu Bu in the world, they did not gain the respect of the princes because of this. Instead, this young man at the first meeting gave them enough encouragement and respect to the three brothers.

Now, at Yingling City, Xiahou An called himself "Uncle Liu" in public, which is equivalent to publicly acknowledging his identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei was very grateful.

When they learned that it was Liu Bei from Pingyuan County who led his army to help, everyone on the city tower was worried and took it back.

The city gate opened and Liu Bei entered the city.

In the county magistrate's mansion, the unfinished banquet reopened, and he laughed and started to drink and chat again.

As the host, Kong Rong stood up to toast, politely representing the people of Beihai County and expressing his gratitude to Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei was unable to help much, he came from all the way and there was still this friendship.

Liu Bei was a little flattered by this. Kong Rong and others are all celebrities in today's society. Now they have taken the initiative to stand up to toast him, which has given him enough face, the "Emperor Uncle".

Liu Bei returned the wine cup and the group was in a happy mood.

Xiahou An was not involved, and Guan Yu, who was not far from the seat, asked: "Boyang, why are you here?"

Xiahou An said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm here to save the situation, I'm just one step ahead of you."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes were glaring like a copper bell, he picked up the wine jar with one hand, strode to Xiahou An's seat, pouring himself a full cup of wine. He has always been addicted to alcohol, he picked up the wine cup with his hand, and shouted in a rough voice: "No wonder there are no thieves under the city. It turns out that you have taken down by your kid. Humph, you have to steal our limelight, you have to punish you for drinking!"

Zhang Fei was arrogant and had already experienced it when he was drinking last time. He took the full cup of wine he handed over. Without saying much, he raised his head and drank it all.

"Good boy, manly!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, no longer saying anything like punishment for wine, and sat on the ground and drank it with Xiahouan.

The banquet lasted until night before it gradually ended.

Kong Rong had already arranged a room for this and ordered the servant to lead Xiahou An and others to bed after the banquet.

Zhang Fei was drunk and was helped back to the room by his second brother Guan Yu, while Liu Bei sat in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed for a long time.

"Duke Xuande, why did you sigh?"

The sound of a boy sounded at the entrance of the courtyard.

Liu Bei looked sideways and said that it was Xiahou An who came.

So he stood up to greet him, and asked, "The night is deep, isn't Boyang going to bed yet?"

"I saw that the moonlight was still good tonight and I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to sit here with Duke Xuande, so I won't drive me away, right?" Xiahou An said half-jokingly.

"Boyang is condescending, just be welcomed by walking back, how can you tell me to drive away?" Liu Bei pretended to be unhappy, and then he called Xiahou'an to sit down at the stone table.

"Duke Xuande..."

Xiahou An was about to speak, but Liu Bei waved his hand first and interrupted him: "Boyang, you and my old acquaintance, I am really aware of Duke Xuande. I am a little older, and I can call me brother, I really don't dare to be a man, otherwise I should call you General Xiahou..."

Liu Bei spoke pertinently, and Xiahou An nodded.

Calculate the age, Liu Bei was only a twenty-seven-year-old young man at this time.

"At the banquet today, everyone invited each other. Bei was really unable to do anything and didn't care about Boyang. I hope to forgive him." Liu Bei said a little apologetically.

Xiahou An didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "What did Brother Xuande say? If I were cautious, I wouldn't be here..."

When he was a child, he liked these three brothers very much. He even brought a few best friends to become sworn brothers and imitated Taoyuan to join him to join the Taoyuan.

However, later, online novels developed and respecting Cao and demoting Liu became the mainstream, and Xiahou An was more or less affected.

Now in the late Han Dynasty, according to Liu Bei, Xiahou An thinks it is quite good, at least he doesn't feel hypocritical.

So I asked, "I heard my brother sigh just now, but what are you worried about?"

After hearing Xiahou An ask, Liu Bei was in a state of emotion, he felt sad: "The Han Dynasty was in decline, the treacherous ministers stole their lives, and the emperor was covered with dust. He did not control virtue and ability, and wanted to believe in great righteousness in the world, but his wisdom was shallow and short, and he had nothing to do..."

Liu Bei said it for a long time. The more Xiahou An listened, the more familiar it became. It seemed as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed by.

Xiahou An realized it.

Good guy, come to me and write a long-lasting match?

This was what Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang in Longzhong when he visited the thatched cottage three times.

Now you actually came to tell me, this is outrageous!

However, Xiahou An did not make any mockery, because when Liu Bei said this, he could clearly feel Liu Bei's emotional changes, and the true feelings he revealed were indeed moving.

Xiahou An thought, this might be personal charm!

He stood up and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, comforted him with kind words: "Brother, there is no need to worry. As the saying goes, God will give a great responsibility to this man. He must first suffer his mind and mind, and his muscles and bones..."

Liu Bei also comforted himself like this, but it has been eight years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After eight years of hard work, he is still living under someone else's roof.

Sometimes, he himself felt that he was almost unable to hold on.

Where is this going?

Your hard days will be long in the future!

Xiahou thought with peace of mind, but he encouraged Liu Bei not to be discouraged: "I have an idol who said that you should have dreams in life. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between it and salted fish?"

"Besides, the times create heroes, Brother Xuande, you will eventually achieve great things."

"The current displaced is just because you haven't met that man yet."

"That man?"

Liu Bei expressed doubts.

Xiahou An beat him up haha, he said that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, hahaha...
