Chapter 1 I, Liu Bei’s eldest son!

Chapter 001: I, Liu Bei’s eldest son!

The night is deep and everything is quiet.

Heavy snow fluttered down on the land of Jingzhou, which had just experienced war.

A burst of hurried horse hooves broke the silence in Gong'an City.

"drive!"

"drive!!"

One man, one horse, galloping at full speed!

Those eyes looked forward, shining like stars in the snowy night. The young man waved his whip and passed thousands of snow-covered mountains...

Ahead, the residence of the Gong'an County Magistrate.

……

Inside the Gong'an County Magistrate's Mansion.

The hot charcoal fire makes the whole hall warm as spring.

The middle-aged man with shoulders-hanging ears and a fair complexion looked at the child lovingly: "Adou is already seven years old, it's time for him to go to school."

The person was Liu Bei, who had just defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi.

It was Liu Xuande who had just surrendered the four counties in southern Jing!

In the 13th year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to the south. A fire at Chibi burned all his ambitions to ashes!
From then on, Prime Minister Cao's ambition to unify China stopped at this river.

In the twelfth month of the same year, the Sun and Liu families divided Jingzhou!

For a time, the world was in turmoil!

At this moment, Emperor Liu was full of vigor and vitality...

"I do not!"

At this time, Adou twisted in the woman's arms: "Adou, I don't want to study! I don't want to study!"

"Okay, okay, I won't study, I won't study." Mrs. Mi hurriedly coaxed her, "Adou has been displaced since he was born, and now he is only seven years old. How can he bear the hardship of going to school?"

Liu Bei had been talking about letting Adou go to school for two years, but each time Adou would throw a tantrum and cover it up.

Looking at my son's fair and tender little face, his eyes were full of grievance.

In the end, Uncle Liu softened his heart again.

"That's all..."

……

The snow fell heavily, like broken jade.

Xilulu! ~
With a long neigh, a man and a horse stopped outside the residence of the Gong'an County Magistrate.

The young man riding a horse on a snowy night looked at the vermilion gate in front of him and felt relieved.

He dismounted from his horse without stopping. His hands were stiff and his face was pale and purple from the cold, but he still strode towards the county magistrate's mansion.

"Son!"

"I've met the young master!"

The guards standing outside the door fell to their knees when they saw the familiar face.

The young man just nodded slightly, and without stopping, he crossed the courtyard and came to the brightly lit hall, about to climb the stairs.

Suddenly, a tall figure in full armor blocked his way: "Stop!"

"Father has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter the place due to the freezing weather..."

"Lest Ah Dou be infected with the cold."

The man in armor is named Liu Feng, Liu Bei's adopted son, and he usually serves as Liu Bei's guard.

The young man looked up at Liu Feng and said calmly: "I am an outsider too?"

After all, Liu Feng was just Liu Bei's adopted son.

But this young man with bright eyes was Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Wu.

Liu Wu did not belong to this world originally, but after waking up, he traveled through time and space and became Liu Bei's eldest son.

If Liu Bei and Liu Wu were both outsiders, then there would probably be no Liu Bei's own people left in this huge Gong'an County Magistrate's Mansion.

Liu Feng's mouth curled up slightly. He was about to refute, but suddenly stopped...

Because there was such a strong sense of solemnity and murder, it almost suffocated him!
The pair of eyes opposite him, as bright as the cold stars in the winter night, made it impossible for him to look directly at them.

Liu Feng secretly shuddered and just lowered his head and said, "What's the matter? I'll tell you."

Liu Wu still looked calm: "Urgent news from Jiangxia."

Jiangxia?

Liu Feng, who was originally careless, suddenly shuddered.

Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao and former governor of Jingzhou, was recuperating in Jiangxia.

If Liu Huangshu wants to take Jingzhou, he can't get around this eldest son. Could it be...

Liu Feng didn't dare to think about it, and turned around and hurried into the hall. The cold wind was howling.

Snow is getting bigger and bigger.

Jade chips and ice flowers, beautiful girls dancing wildly.

In a short while, the snow on Liu Wu's body was about an inch thick.

Crunch! ~
A shrill sound was heard.

The tightly closed door of the hall suddenly opened!

The lights were so bright that they almost turned the snow in the courtyard into a golden color!
Liu Wu looked up.

I saw a figure in a wide robe with big sleeves, walking towards me under the brilliant lights...

Getting closer and closer!
The visitor had a handsome face, ears that hung down to his shoulders, and hands that went down to his knees.

It was Liu Wu's father, the imperial uncle Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness throughout the world!

"How about the matter in Jiangxia?"

His voice was still as calm and gentle as always.

But only those who are close to him can hear the imperceptible tremor in the emperor's uncle's voice.

As he spoke, he had already walked quickly to the steps under the corridor, staring closely at Liu Wu who was standing in the snow against the wind...

Liu Wu cupped his hands and said, "The eldest son Liu Qi suddenly fell ill and died suddenly."

Sudden emergency, sudden death...

After Liu Wu finished speaking, silence fell all around.

There was only the sound of falling snow.

A few days ago, Liu Wu suddenly left Gong'an City and returned tonight in the snow.

This [emergency] was planned for the eldest son Liu Qi.

Now, the big thing is finally accomplished!
……

Liu Qi is dead!

He finally died!!

The veins on Uncle Liu's hands, clenched in his sleeves, were bulging.

Once Liu Qi dies, who in the entire Jingzhou is more qualified than himself to succeed him as the lord of Jingzhou?
After all, Jingzhou is my, Liu Bei’s, foundation!
Liu Bei took a deep breath, and the coldness barely suppressed his gaffe.

He looked at Liu Wu in the snow and smiled faintly: "Come in."

"Yes."

……

The wine vessel holding the warm wine was emitting curls of hot steam.

Liu Wu took a seat.

Mrs. Mi, who originally had a gentle expression on her face, suddenly became a little cold.

Adou, who was held in her arms, looked at the guy whom she had only met a few times but was forced to call brother, and his little mouth pouted subconsciously.

Liu Bei glanced at him and said, "You have worked hard these past few days. Drink this cup to drive away the cold."

Liu Wu was in a trance. In his memory, his father had always been cold towards him.

Why are you so concerned about me today?

A trace of warmth flashed through Liu Wu's heart, and he picked up the warm wine bottle: "Thank you, father."

The warm wine flowed down Liu Wu's throat and into his stomach.

At this time, Adou, who was already unhappy with Liu Wu, saw that this annoying guy was actually given wine by his father...

Ran directly to Liu Wu's food table...

He pointed at Liu Wu and said in a baby voice, "Why are you here again?"

"What are you doing in my house?!"

The childish voice echoed throughout the hall.

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.

Everyone stared at the scene in amazement, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Ah Dou spoke again: "Hey, let me ask you, what are you doing in my house?!"

Madam Mi looked at Liu Wu coldly, feeling slightly pleased.

At this moment, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande remained calm, as if they had heard nothing.

Liu Wu had just finished half of the bottle of wine in his hand.

At this moment, Adou’s childish, harsh words were still echoing in his ears.

The remaining half of the warm wine suddenly turned cold!
Liu Wu could no longer feel any warmth...
