Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 84 Agreed Policy
"Mr. Xu is our old friend, senior, and benefactor. Over the years, we have sold millions of herbs through him, and he has never deducted a cent from us. He often gives us more. How could such a kind person suffer such a disaster? It's really unfair!"

"Yes, what Big Brother said makes sense!"

"Now that Elder Xu has come to our Huangshui Township, he is a native of our Huangshui Township. Caring for our elders is a matter of benevolence and righteousness. No matter how difficult this matter is, we brothers will take care of it!"

Liu He's words moved Guan Yu and others passionately, and also moved Shopkeeper Xu deeply.

"Therefore, I decided to keep Grandpa Xu and his grandson in the village. Not to mention the mere county magistrate, even if the prefect or the governor comes, they can't hurt him at all! As for that evil thief, let's arrange for someone to find out his situation and whereabouts. We will wait for the opportunity and take his life sooner or later!"

"Okay! Big brother, you have thought it through. We brothers will all listen to you!"

Guan Yu and others clasped their fists to express their stance.

But this frightened Manager Xu, and he quickly stood up and grabbed Liu He.

"Oh my, my dear nephews, please don't cause trouble, don't cause trouble! I came here only to settle down and make a living, nothing else. If you, my dear nephews, get into trouble because of me, I will never forgive you even if I die! If so, I will leave immediately, even if I die in the mountains, I will never let you get into trouble!"

After Shopkeeper Xu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk out the door, but was stopped by Liu He.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Xu. I'm sure you've heard about the events in Huangshui Township. Today's Huangshui Township is no longer what it used to be. We are not ordinary warriors. We don't even take a mere county magistrate seriously. Even if he uses the whole county's strength to take revenge, it will only be in vain!"

Looking at Liu He's confident expression, Shopkeeper Xu was obviously still a little unconvinced.

In his impression, Huangshui Township had only a militia of 400 to 500 people, who had wiped out some bandits. Although they were powerful, how much combat effectiveness could the militia have? How could they be compared with the county soldiers of the government?

However, Liu Qian, who rushed back after hearing the news, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Xu, just relax. I can't let my son take risks, right? You and your grandson can live here peacefully. I will arrange accommodation for you right away. As for other matters, leave them to the younger generation."

After saying this, he took the still somewhat confused Shopkeeper Xu away.

Liu He's emotions were surging at this moment, and his mind was filled with thoughts. What happened to Shopkeeper Xu made him think of a lot of things in an instant.

When I was studying history in my previous life, among the three monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, I respected Cao Cao the most, because he was indeed a treacherous hero, and both his civil and military skills were top-notch at the time.

I envy Sun Quan the most because he experienced the wars and intrigues that the other two had experienced, and at the same time he also enjoyed all kinds of benefits and comforts after being in a high position that the other two did not enjoy.

The most conflicted person is undoubtedly Liu Bei, because he seems to be unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, but also has the temperament of a hero. Many people say that he is a staunch defender of benevolence, while others say that he is the number one hypocrite in the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei himself has no way of judging these.

However, fate played a trick on him. After being reincarnated into this world, he happened to have a similar identity to Liu Bei: a descendant of the Liu royal family, whose family had fallen into poverty and became unknown.

So Liu He suddenly seemed to feel that this time travel was an opportunity given to him by God to complete this long march that started in the name of "benevolence and righteousness".

If Liu Bei is a hypocrite, then I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven and eliminate him and replace him.

If Liu Bei is a truly benevolent and righteous gentleman, then it's a shame that he has to complete this journey by himself, and Uncle Liu can only help him.

But no matter what, Liu He has already decided in his heart that the path he wants to take is the "kingly way" rather than the "tyrannical way".

So when he learned about Manager Xu's situation, Liu He also understood that he had to stand up for him both publicly and privately, and out of both emotion and reason. Otherwise, not only would he feel guilty, but he would also lose the foundation he had built up over the years.

Liu He didn't know if this was the best path, nor could he predict whether he would end up like Liu Bei, but he only knew that since he had embarked on this path, he couldn't turn back. Liu He was not sure whether Liu Bei in history was hypocritical, but even a benevolent person should not be a good person, and he should have dark moments, but this did not affect the essence of benevolence.

"Well, since God has given me this opportunity, I will give it a try and see if the world is ruled by the benevolent or the tyrant!"

Liu He's mind suddenly became clear, and many things became clear to him in an instant.

Although Xu had been given an accommodation and his grandson had taken him in, he was still a little worried. For several days in a row, he had tried to persuade Liu Qian to tell Liu He and others not to avenge him.

In order to reassure him, Liu Qian temporarily pretended to agree to him, which made him calm down a little.

"Alas, the imperial court is incompetent, foreign enemies are eyeing it covetously, and there are internal and external troubles. This powerful empire that once left a strong mark in the history of China and even the world is not far from falling apart..."

During the break in the training, Liu He sat aside, feeling emotional.

Cheng Liang came over, sat next to him and drank some water.

"Brother, why worry? With our current formation, we can keep the area safe. Didn't you say that the Taiping Dao in Jizhou will bring chaos to the world in the next few years? By then, won't our place be a blessed land? I want to see who dares to provoke us."

Cheng Liang was full of confidence, but Liu He still couldn't hide his worry.

"Alas, Third Brother, you only know one side of the story."

When everyone heard that Liu He had something to say, the brothers all gathered around him.

"Even if we can protect Huangshui Township, what can we do? There are only a few thousand households. The people of the world are suffering, and the world is about to fall into chaos, but we are still enjoying ourselves here, and we are so complacent. How can we bear it? Originally, I thought it was very happy, but after what happened to Manager Xu, I knew that we can't hold on to this idea. As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If the Han people are in chaos, how can our Huangshui Township remain unscathed?"

When Guan Yu and others heard Liu He's words, they all fell into deep thought.

"Brother, you are right. We brothers have been too comfortable these days. When people have a good time, they tend to forget their ambitions. It is right for you to remind us. We brothers are really ashamed."

Zhang Yong said this with a guilty look on his face, and the others also felt a little ashamed.

Liu He waved his hand and grabbed the hands of several people.

"Brothers, you don't have to be like this. Before, I was content with the status quo. I thought I was great and had made great contributions, so I indulged in pleasure and stopped striving for progress. Now I think it's really wrong."

After hearing what Liu He said, several people began to feel remorseful.

"Then according to Big Brother, how should we behave in the future?"

Guan Yu asked the first question.

Zhang Yu was sitting on a stone nearby, flipping through "Mencius", a book from the Hundred Schools of Thought that Liu He had exchanged from the system before. After hearing the sighs of Liu He and others, she also thought for a long time.

"Well...husband, I do have some ideas."

This chapter is the one that Shenmao mentioned before, and it mainly elaborates on the value problem that Shenmao mentioned. The online literature world is quite strict now, and this is Shenmao's desire to survive. However, this is also the protagonist's idea, but it was not clearly stated in the original draft, and it is written now. In addition, it is a bit unreasonable that Manager Xu, a retired middle-class man who enjoys a comfortable life, directly agreed to serve the protagonist and continue to work hard, so adding this plot is like killing two birds with one stone. It's just that I feel a little sorry for Manager Xu, who made his family ruined.
