Jizhou Hacheng Governor's Office
"Zhang'er, what do you want from your father?"
Liu Yan was very happy every time he saw Liu Zhang. This child he loved from the bottom of his heart.
"Father, it is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. My son wants to study in Beihai and study under Mr. Zheng Xuan."
Liu Zhang's voice was a little childish, but his tone was very firm.
“Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles?”
Liu Yan was a little surprised. Liu Zhang hadn't shown his talent for many years.
I still feel a little uncomfortable saying such famous words suddenly today.
It is also a good thing that he wants to study as a Confucian scholar!
Liu Yan already agreed in his heart, but he still needed to be concerned about it.
"Zhang'er, why do you want to take Mr. Zheng as your teacher?"
Liu Zhang saw his father's smile and knew that the matter was probably fine.
"Mr. Zheng is a great scholar in the world, and my son admires him very much. However, it is not easy to become a disciple of Mr. Zheng. I hope my father can help me!"
"Hahaha!"
"It's rare that your son asks to be a father for once!"
Liu Yan was very happy. Ever since he recruited Huang Zhong, Liu Zhang had never asked for help from him again.
Liu Yan was very satisfied with Liu Zhang.
Although he is not as sharp as he was when he was a child, Liu Yan can see all his hard work over the years.
This son is still better than his peers.
He patted Liu Zhang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"My son is diligent and studious, and he should help his father!"
"Mr. Zheng lives in Beihai, and Huang Wan, the governor of Qingzhou, is a friend from my hometown. I will write to him and he will help me!"
"Thank you father!"
Liu Yan nodded. He was worried about Liu Zhang's safety.
"It's a long way to Qingzhou, so Huang Zhong will protect you there."
"No!"
"Why?"
Huang Zhong's martial arts skills were known to Liu Yan, but he didn't understand why Liu Zhang refused directly.
"Father, there is a rift between the Jiangxia Huang family and Huang Zhong!"
"Ah, yes! I forgot about my father!"
Liu Yan slapped his forehead. It took too long, and he had already forgotten such a small thing.
"Besides, my son has other plans for Huang Zhong!"
"Um?"
Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhang curiously.
"Huang Zhong's archery skills are unparalleled, and I want him to train some archers."
Liu Zhang looked at his father nervously. He was not sure how Liu Yan would react.
He knew that his father was extremely ambitious and that he was inseparable from the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But now that the situation is calm, Liu Zhang is not sure whether Liu Yan will agree.
After all, training private soldiers is a serious crime!
"How many people did you ask him to train?"
After a long time, Liu Yan finally asked.
"One hundred people are enough!"
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Liu Zhang, as if he wanted to see through him.
Liu Yan was disappointed, Liu Zhang's eyes were clear and without any disturbance.
"Okay! In the name of servant, you must be careful!"
"Thank you father!"
Seeing Liu Yan agree, Liu Zhang finally let go of his worries.
"Go talk to your mother, she will definitely blame me!"
"promise!"
As Liu Yan expected, Liu Zhang's mother, Fei Shi, blamed Liu Yan for Liu Zhang's study abroad.
Liu Zhang tried hard to convince his mother.
After coming out of his mother's house, Liu Zhang came to Cai Yan's door.
Hey, how can I tell sister Yaner!
Liu Zhang felt very embarrassed. This little girl was his weakness.
The two have been together for seven years and have never been separated. They can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Just when Liu Zhang was in a daze, the door opened.
"Brother Zhang, why are you standing at the door?"
Liu Zhang heard the sound of nature in his ears, and he knew who it was without looking at him.
"Yan'er, I just arrived and haven't had time to knock on the door yet."
"Brother, come in quickly."
Cai Yan took Liu Zhang into the house.
Cai Yan is now ten years old. She is only two months younger than Liu Zhang.
But he hasn't grown much yet and is much shorter than Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang breathed in the aroma in the room greedily. He had always been curious about why Cai Yan's room smelled so good.
"Is something wrong, brother?"
Cai Yan tilted his head and looked at Liu Zhang with a smile.
This smile simply melted Liu Zhang's heart, it was so gentle.
Liu Zhang felt a pain in his heart when he thought of what would happen to Cai Yan in the future.
No! No one can hurt Yan'er!
Looking at Liu Zhang's fierce eyes, Cai Yan was slightly scared.
"elder brother..."
Liu Zhang came to his senses and put on a doting smile.
"Yan'er, can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
"Of course not! Yan'er is afraid of delaying her brother's studies."
"Yan'er, how did my brother test you?"
"OK!"
Looking at Cai Yan's innocent face, Liu Zhang smiled evilly.
"There are so many stars in the sky. Who knows how many stars there are in the sky?"
"ah?"
Cai Yan was immediately stopped by the question, frowning and blinking.
Then he pointed at the sky with his hand and recited numbers in his mouth.
"Oh, this is too difficult! Yan'er doesn't know!"
"You little fool, of course God knows the stars in the sky!"
Cai Yan didn't even react. After a while, he looked at Liu Zhang angrily.
"Aren't you lying? Change it to another one!"
"Okay, listen up!"
"Brother wants to drink, but he can't drink. Why?"
Cai Yan laughed and said cheerfully:
"That must be because Uncle Liu didn't let my brother drink!"
"wrong!"
"Then the wine is too strong? Brother can't drink it!"
"That's not right either!"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head.
"what is that!"
Liu Zhang stood up and looked at Cai Yan with a gentle expression.
"The wine I want to drink, brother, is to be with you forever!"
"ah!"
Cai Yan's face immediately turned red, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Liu Zhang.
She had already identified Liu Zhang in her heart, but she had never expressed it.
Liu Zhang looked at the shy Cai Yan and couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his hand to hold Cai Yan in his arms.
"Brother, no!"
Liu Zhang's actions shocked Cai Yan, and he kept struggling. Is Liu Zhang's strength enough for her to break free?
Seeing that Liu Zhang was just hugging himself, he slowly stopped struggling.
"Yan'er, do you know what I'm most afraid of in life?"
Cai Yan didn't speak, and the sound of his heartbeat could be heard in his ears.
"Yan'er, I'm most afraid of not having you in my future life!"
"elder brother...."
