Chapter 52 Warning (Third Update Seeking Recommendation)

  At the beginning of the day, three more are offered, and I would like to ask for your recommendation and support. I am deeply grateful.

  ————————

  Things seem to be getting interesting!

  In Liu Jian's memory, what did Chen Ping do? It has become vague... but this name is very impressive.

  Among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, there is no name of Chen Ping.

  Liu Bang did not mention Chen Ping's name excessively when commenting on his ministers. However, no one can deny the existence of this person.

  Chen Yu, is actually Chen Ping's older brother?

  I just don't know if this Chen Ping is that Chen Ping.

  "Has Liu also heard of my brother's name?"

  Liu Jian's expression remained calm as he said, "How could I not have heard of it. In those years in Danfu, I had a friend also named Chen Ping, but he and your younger brother were two different people. When I first heard this name, I couldn't help but feel some surprise... Hehe, it's been many years already.

  "I just don't know if that friend of mine is still around."

  Chen Yu smiled!

  So that's how it is, no wonder Liu had such a reaction. I've heard people say that Liu is a man who values relationships, and now it seems to be true. As long as we can cooperate well with him, why worry that our business won't flourish?

  On the side, Guanque saw Liu Quan and Chen Yu talking happily, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

  He took a glance at Guan Yu, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bei, why not do it this way... I'll temporarily return to Xuchang to make arrangements. Leave Guan Yu here to prepare the goods. The old man thinks that by the time Liu Bei's goods are ready, the payment will also be delivered, what do you think?"

  The words were extremely tactful...

  But what I really mean is: I can leave my son here as a hostage, go back to raise the money, and then you send me the goods.

  Liu Kan didn't refuse either, looked at Guan Yu and nodded with a smile.

  "Excellent!"

  And so, after a storm, it ended with a happy result for all.

  Liu Jian gained another source of wealth, and Guan Que and Chen Yu no longer needed to stay in Pei County, holding their plaques and passing the time.

  Business is done, naturally there should be some celebration.

  Liu Kan invited Chen Yu and Guan Que to his home as guests, while he himself went ahead first.

  Chi Wu Shan walked his sword back home, but before he could leave the city, he heard a sound of horse hooves behind him. Instinctively, he stepped aside to make way and turned around to look.

  A little horse galloped over, carrying a young girl, at a speed like lightning.

  The pony stopped in front of Liu Quan, and the girl immediately jumped off the horse and ran to Liu Quan's side, kicking him hard.

  "Bad guy, why frame my family?"

  This kick was like kicking an iron pillar, and the girl cried out in pain, staggering, her small body falling backwards.

  Liu Kan's hands were swift and his eyes were quick, he grasped the girl with one hand.

  "Auntie, why did you kick me?"

  The girl frowned slightly and pushed open the door, rubbing her feet while saying: "Liu Que, why are you making things difficult for my father?"

  "When did I ever make things difficult for your father?"

  A hint of smile flashed across Liu Kan's eyes.

  This young lady is none other than Miss Lü Huai, the second daughter of the Lü family.

  "Are you letting Zhou Chang hold your seal and go to my house, so that my father can collect grain and fodder for you? You're not unaware that the Emperor is going to conquer Baiyue, and all regions are stockpiling grain and fodder in preparation. At this time, where else would my father go to collect grain?"

  Not to mention whether it is possible to collect grain and fodder, in this situation, if my father were to do such a thing, the government would not agree first.

  "Smelly basket, isn't this making things difficult for my father?"

  Liu Kan's face was slightly gloomy, "Ah Jia, is it me who is troubling your family or is your family opposing me? Do you know that just now someone almost smashed my store?"

  Lv Jiao was taken aback, "I've heard about it... I heard you got into a fight with someone. Ah Guan, are you hurt? No, this has nothing to do with my family."

  "It doesn't matter, go ask your elder brother!"

  Lv Jia grabbed Liu Guang's clothes with one hand, "Stinky Guang, tell me clearly, what happened to my brother?"

  Liu Kan said: "The person who smashed my store just told me that he smashed my store because he was instigated by others."

  "Do you know who it is? It's Liu Ji!"

  Lü Ji was confused at the time, "How is this possible... That person has been out for almost a year and hasn't even been seen, how could he possibly instigate someone to smash your store? But if someone impersonated Liu Ji, what does it have to do with my older brother?"

  Liu Jian smiled and said: "The person who claimed to be Liu Ji, after the people who smashed my store described his appearance, turned out to be your older brother."

  "Ah..."

  Lü Jiao's big eyes were wide with wonder, her small mouth agape in surprise.

  Liu Jian saw people gathering around and took Lu Ji's hand with one hand, while using the other to pull on the reins of Lu Ji's small horse.

  "Ah Jian, be careful!"

  Lü Jiǎo let out a cry of surprise, and the little horse suddenly let out a long whinny, its front hooves flying up, almost knocking Lü Jiǎo to the ground. This made Lü Jiǎo somewhat angry, he stretched out his hand and grasped the little horse's neck, his voice sinking to his abdomen, as he let out a loud shout.

  Plop!

  Liu Jian's two arms exerted force and suddenly flipped the small horse over onto the ground.

  The people around exclaimed in surprise, but the little horse let out a long, mournful whinny and kicked its hooves wildly, trying to break free from Liu's arm.

  This little horse's strength is quite considerable...

  Liu Kan's arm gradually exerted force, and the little horse's breathing became more and more difficult.

  Lü Jia was worried that Liu Quan would get hurt, but at the same time she felt sorry for her own little horse... Torn between the two, in the end she still chose to cheer Liu Quan on.

  "Ah Jian, be careful, don't hurt yourself!"

  The little horse struggled for a moment, then gradually stopped struggling and kept whining.

  Liu Quan let out a breath, slowly loosening his arms and getting up from the ground. The little horse, after catching its breath, struggled twice and suddenly stood up. Amidst the crowd's gasps, the little horse rushed towards Liu Quan.

  "Ah Jian..."

  Lü Jiǎn hadn't finished speaking when she saw the little horse stop quietly in front of her, its large head nuzzling into her chest to show affection. At first, Lü Jiǎn was fully on guard, but seeing the horse's friendly intentions, she knew it wouldn't pose a threat to her again.

  "You little wretch, you need to suffer a bit."

  Liu Jian lowered his voice and whispered a sentence in the pony's ear. But to see this horse constantly snorting, as if coquettish.

  "Great job!"

  The surrounding audience applauded loudly, and someone laughed: "Ah Kan, I think it won't take a few years, this Pei County's number one brave warrior, will be none other than you."

  Lv Jia lightly patted her chest and said in a low voice: "Ah Kan, you scared me to death!"

  Liu Quan bowed his hands in gratitude to the people around him and hastily pulled Lü Cu out of the city.

  "Auntie, I know your family looks down on me and that your elder brother bears a grudge against me. But he's getting too close to Yong Chi, that guy has ill intentions towards your family... Now that you've also heard the news about the Emperor planning to conquer Bai Yue, you should be even more aware of the situation."

  To be honest, I didn't mean to make things difficult for your father, I just wanted to warn him not to stir up trouble at this time.

  Call me ungrateful and unfilial if you will, call me anything. Ah-jia, go back and tell your father that today's Liu Quan is not the same as before.

  If I wanted to frame him, it would be a piece of cake.

  "Your brother's matter... everyone knows what's right and wrong, just let him be. If I really wanted to make things difficult for him, haha... anyway, considering your face, I'll let him off this time. Do what you need to do, don't provoke me!"

  Liu Jian's tone was gloomy and made Lü Cu feel a chill in her heart.

  Staring blankly at Liu Guang, her eyes reddened, and after a while, she suddenly burst out crying.

  Tears fell down in a patter, and she kicked Liu Jian fiercely again, "You stinky Jian, you're bullying me!"

  As he spoke, he turned his head and ran into the city.

  "Auntie, your horse!"

  Liu Jian shouted behind Lü Cu, but Lü Cu turned a deaf ear.

  With a determined heart, he chased after her, but stopped in his tracks after just two steps. Looking at Lv Jia's back, he revealed a bitter smile.

  Isn't it a bit too much?

  Liu Jian scratched his head, "Little cheap person, was I a bit excessive just now? Ah-jia doesn't understand things, why did I scare her?"

  The little horse shook its head and swished its tail, snorting loudly, as if unwilling to answer.

  The sky was getting late, Liu Kan held the little horse with one hand and stood still for a moment on the side of the road, self-mockingly saying: "What's wrong with me? It's just a child, after a couple of days it will be fine... I hope Lv Weng can understand what's important and restrain that Lv Ze properly."

  Having said that, he turned around and walked towards home.

  As he walked, he smiled at the little horse and said: "Your master doesn't want you anymore, come with me first... Let's go home!"
