Chapter 379 Guandu (VII)
A book is an ordinary book.
The cover contains four words "Liu Zhongling Collection", and there is nothing special about it.
Liu Zhongling Collection is a book compiled by Liu Chuang based on various articles written by Liu Tao during his lifetime. To be honest, its circulation was not very good. The main reason... Although Liu Tao was famous during his lifetime, he did not achieve much academic achievements. Most of his articles were memorials of worrying about the country and the people. Perhaps in later generations, scholars could further understand the social situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not very meaningful to tell the truth. The circulation of this book was not large, and it was more to commemorate Liu Tao.
There is no way, who made Liu Chuang the Lord of Hebei now, dominate the four prefectures, and even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
The flower sedan chair needs someone to carry, and it is unlikely that Liu Chuang will achieve great academic achievements. Apart from a few plagiarized poems, it is impossible to leave too many traces. So people turned their attention to Liu Chuang's father. After all, Liu Tao was also a famous scholar back then and was quite famous among the scholars. With this "Liu Zhongling Collection", it also shows Liu Chuang's origin in a scholarly family.
In short, this book has not been published much, and it has only been printed in one page, with a print volume of only a thousand copies.
Sima Fang also has this book at home, but to be honest, Sima Fang has not read it carefully. Now, such a book suddenly appears in front of him, which seems useless on the surface, but for Sima Fang, the meaning of this book appears is very profound.
Liu Chuang, sent someone to contact me!
Sima Fang never thought that Liu Chuang would contact him so quickly.
He was mentally prepared. When he sent Sima Fu, he thought that Liu Chuang would always contact him one day.
But this day came too fast and too suddenly...
Sima Fang tried hard to calm himself down, stood up and said to Sima Xun, "Xianda, please talk to the guest in the side hall of the back garden."
The side hall of the back garden was like a forbidden area in the Sima mansion. Even the Sima brothers could not enter at will without Sima Fang's consent. Therefore, when Sima Xun heard Sima Fang's order, he was stunned and then bowed to take the order and wanted to go downstairs.
"Xianda!"
"The baby is here."
"No one can know about this matter, even your brother will not be notified.
You will call your fourth brother to go with you later. No one is allowed to enter and exit the back garden at will. Let your fourth brother make arrangements and no negligence is allowed."
The aristocratic families are not just scholarly families.
A wealthy family like Sima, which has established itself as a powerful family since the Han Dynasty, has many unknown secrets.
Generally speaking, the aristocratic families will take in servants, and these servants are to some extent like private soldiers of powerful families.
But if you think that the armed forces of the aristocratic families are just that, that would be a big mistake.
Any powerful man must raise a dead man.
There are also a group of unknown dead soldiers in the Sima family who are loyal to the Sima family. This dead soldiers were commanded by Sima Fang's fourth son Sima Kui. Sima Kui, whose name is Jida, was twenty-three years old. Although he was not old, he was tenacious and steady, and cruel. Among Sima Bada, Sima Kui was not famous. In history, he was once the Marquis of Dongwu City of Cao Wei...
When Sima Xun heard Sima Fang ask him to go to the flower hall with Sima Kui, he also knew that the situation was serious.
He quickly agreed and hurried downstairs.
Sima Fang took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then slowly walked out of Xizhao Pavilion.
Mid-August is the time for a clear and cool autumn.
Sima Fang followed the forest path into the back garden and headed straight to the flower hall.
In the flower hall, two young men sat.
One is dressed as a scholar, and the other is dressed in a strong outfit.
"Lu Yu, pay homage to the old man."
Sima Fang was stunned when he saw the young man, and after hearing the other party reveal his identity, he immediately felt relieved.
Lu Yu, the general's officer, was Liu Chuang's confidant. However, Sima Fang did not neglect because Lu Yu was young, but instead gave in.
Nothing else, just because Lu Yu is Lu Zhi's son, it is enough to make Sima Fang look up to him.
Who was Lu Zhi? He was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and a great scholar at that time. In terms of status and status, he might not be inferior to Xun Shuang or Cai Yong and others. Even though Lu Zhi had been dead for many years, he was still famous in the scholars. Haven’t you seen Liu Bei and Liu Xuande walk there under the banner of Lu Zhi’s disciples? People will be entertained there... This is the level of the family, and even if the Lu family declines, it cannot be underestimated.
However, Sima Fang's eyes fell on the young man behind Lu Yu.
This young man always looks familiar, which makes Sima Fang feel familiar.
The young man stood behind Lu Yu, and saw Sima Fang staring at him, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
"Liu Chuang, pay homage to my uncle and elder."
"Are you Meng Yan?"
Sima Fang was stunned and showed an incredible look.
In his impression, Liu Chuang was tall and burly, and although the young man in front of him was strong, it was still very different from Liu Chuang in his impression.
The reason why Sima Fang was noticed was, on the one hand, because the other party's eyebrows made him feel familiar, and on the other hand, because of the other party's temperament. That kind of demeanor cannot be possessed by the casual follower. Even if the young man can hide it and look like a follower, how could the rebellious and arrogant spirit that emerges from his bones be possessed by the follower? That is clearly the temperament of the superior.
The young man did not explain when he saw this.
He paused his feet suddenly and his body shaking.
Gababa, a burst of joints sounded, and the young man's body suddenly grew, from his height of more than eight feet, he suddenly became nine feet tall.
Sima Kui and Sima Xun happened to come in from outside. Seeing this situation, they were shocked.
Sima Kui pulled out his sword and stepped forward, blocking Sima's defense, with a look of vigilance on his face...
The scene was too weird.
The sound of the young man's joints stopped, his clothes were cracked, and he looked quite embarrassed. He took a cloth scarf from Lu Yu and put it on his face for a long time. His face originally had a national character, but then changed its shape, chubby, revealing a hint of honesty, which made people feel close to each other.
"Jida, retreat."
Sima Fang immediately recognized that this young man was really Liu Chuang.
"I also ask my uncle to forgive me. I am also trying to cover up my eyes and eyes, so I changed my image."
Liu Chuang is now twenty-six or seven.
Since he practiced to become a dragon and snake transformation, his body shape has also changed drastically.
From being bloated and obese as before, becoming thin and strong... Although Liu Chuang's body shape is still amazing than ordinary people, he is no longer as bulky and bloated as before. This is also a function of the nine transformations of dragons and snakes. When practicing to a certain level, the shape of the body can be changed, which is similar to the bone shrinkage skill of later generations. Of course, no matter how powerful this bone shrinkage skill is, it is impossible to turn a nine-foot man into a dwarf. Just like Liu Chuang's height before, he has reached the limit and cannot make any changes.
"You are really Meng Yan?"
Sima Fang felt a little dizzy because Liu Chuang's sudden change really surprised him.
Sima Kui's face was also showing surprise.
He knew Liu Chuang's existence. As a person in charge of the Sima family, he knew the relationship between Liu Chuang and the Sima family.
At this point, his understanding of Liu Chuang was far better than that of Sima Xun.
"You kid, you are too bold."
Sima Fang also reacted at this time, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Chuang's arm, "How dare you take risks easily? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it lead to a big mistake?"
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Sima Kui, "Jida, you go outside and guard."
Sima Kui quickly agreed, put away his sword and walked out of the flower hall.
Sima Xun still looked shocked.
He was still immersed in the scene of Liu Chuang's transformation just now, and he couldn't react for a moment.
"Xianda, Xianda..."
"Ah, Father!"
"I've come to see your cousin."
"Cousin?"
Sima Xun looked confused, looked at Sima Fang, and then looked at Liu Chuang.
He didn't know the relationship between Sima and Liu Chuang, and he didn't know what the "cousin" came from.
However, Sima Xun still stepped forward and bowed respectfully, called his cousin. Then he looked at Sima Fang, as if waiting for Sima Fang's answer.
Sima Fang hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your cousin is Liu Chuang, who is the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the general of the Han Dynasty."
"ah?"
This time, Sima Xun really scared her. She grew up and couldn't speak for a long time.
Of course he knew Liu Chuang, and he had to know that his third brother Sima Fu was now working under Liu Chuang... He had made various guesses. How could the third brother go to serve Liu Chuang? You should know that his father Sima Fang had the kindness of knowing Cao **. I think that Cao ** could be the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang back then, so Sima Fang strongly recommended it. Not to mention that his eldest brother Sima Lang has now been the Luoyang Order.
But……
Sima Xun was a little confused and didn't know what to say.
Sima Fang obviously expected Sima Xun to react like this, and shook his head with a wry smile, and explained the relationship between Sima and Liu Chuang in detail to Sima Xun.
Sima Xun suddenly realized... To be honest, he had no impression of his aunt, Liu Chuang's biological mother. Because when Sima Xun was born, Liu Tao's family had already died. However, in Sima Fang's room, Sima Xun had seen his aunt's spiritual position. However, whenever he asked, Sima Fang kept silent. Over time, Sima Xun forgot about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Unexpectedly...
Sima Xun swallowed, and when he looked at Liu Chuang, he looked a little different.
Unexpectedly, the famous Emperor Liu, who is in Hebei and has four prefectures, is actually his cousin?
However, he was too brave. This was Luoyang, under Cao **'s rule. His cousin was fighting with Cao ** and he dared to come alone. If his identity is exposed, he would definitely be killed. Wouldn't he be afraid? It's really admirable.
Sima Xun is not very old, and he is the age to look forward to heroes.
Liu Chuang rose from the first year of Jian'an and built a foundation today in nine years... Even if Liu Chuang and Cao ** were hostile, it was enough to make Sima Xun admire him. But he didn't expect that such a hero was actually his cousin? This also made Sima Xun feel a little dazed for a moment.
Sima Fang ignored Sima Xun who was stunned by the side. He sighed in his heart, sat down, stared at Liu Chuang with a bright look.
