"Fortunately, it's not that cold anymore." Liu Bian responded, pulled Cao Pi and touched his little head: "How do you know that your father is also a dragon?"

Cao Pi raised his head, his eyes rolled around, and looked at Liu Bian without any fear: "When I passed by Hedong, I heard someone say it."

"The news spread very quickly." Liu Bian shrugged and looked up at Bian: "Do you know too?"

"I understand." Bian said lightly, unable to see joy or worry, obviously very calm. "I didn't expect that he was a dragon. I always thought he was a Geng Jinhu."

"I have always thought he was a tiger." Liu Bei interrupted, "He told me personally that he was a Bingmu tiger, and that Gengjin tiger was just a cover of his eyes and ears."

Liu Bian was stunned and thought to himself that Cao Cao was really lying and not drafting. He would just say it, and he would cheat people regardless of his relatives. If Guo Jia hadn't been to capture a dragon, he would probably have kept cheating.

"Do you know my father?" Cao Pi turned around and looked at Liu Bei. Seeing the scars on Liu Bei's face, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, dodged his eyes, and then fell back to Liu Bei's face: "How did you get this injury?"

Liu Bei touched the scar and said lightly: "War fighting on the battlefield will inevitably lead to a little injury. My injury was given by General Lu, the wolf cavalry commander."

"Oh, I get it, are you the three big-eared thief who beat one?"

Liu Bei's face turned red. He knew where the nickname of Big Ear Thief came from, but now he surrendered to the emperor, and no one mentioned this anymore. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi raised the nickname as soon as he saw him, which made him feel ashamed. He smiled awkwardly, and then laughed again: "Yes, at that time, I was with your father, and they were all thieves. Now I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, but your father is still with Yuan Shao as a thief, but I just don't know how many days he can do it."

Bian's eyes flashed and looked at Liu Bian. Liu Bian smiled but said nothing, and took the scroll from Cao Pi. When he opened it, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and praised: "When you are well painted, you are indeed wonderful and vivid."

Liu Bian saw the statue of a goddess in Han costume at Danhan Mountain. He was always confused. Later, when he asked Zhi Qian to preach on the grassland, he specially asked him to bring the painter from Hongdumen School to paint a statue of the goddess. Now this portrait is in his hands, it is exactly the same as the goddess he remembers, and even the mysterious smile is portrayed very well. It can be seen that the painter in Hongdumen is of extraordinary quality.

"Master Zhi also wrote a letter to His Majesty." Bian put down Cao Zhang, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Liu Bian. Liu Bian took the letter with the gentle Bian body, smiled, as if he had returned to that time in Luoyang. He glanced at Bian, shook his hand and opened the letter. He only looked at it for a moment, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhi Qian's letter mainly reported on missionary work on the grassland, but at the beginning, he mentioned an important clue that he might know the prototype of this statue. When he was in Baima Temple in Luoyang, people from all over the world often visited him, and one of them looked like this statue. However, it took a long time and the man had only been here once, and he was not sure if it was him. He remembered that this person claimed to be a disciple of Tianshidao, because he suggested that Liu Bian take the portrait and look for the people from Tianshidao to search, and maybe he could find some useful information.

Liu Bian pondered for a moment: "Catch Liu Fan."

"Yi!" Liu Bei responded and turned around and left.

Liu Bian folded Zhi Qian's letters, put them in his sleeves, and asked, "How are you doing along the way?"

"Everything is fine, and the governments along the way should be taken care of very well." Bian looked at Cao Pi and said again: "Especially when in Taiyuan, the Guo family gave face and sent people to welcome and see him off. The same is true when he arrived in Hedong. The Wei family and Pei family accompanied him throughout the journey. The family that forced the Du family made a crime again and refused to be arrested and fled, and had been killed on the spot."

"Is that?" Liu Bian frowned, a little displeased. Of course, it was not good for the family to force a marriage, but it was not to die. It seemed that the Hedong family had been scared by Wang Yun's case and was a little anxious to show it. However, he did not tell Bian this. Bian was just a person who was talking and did not know the inside story. "What about the family in Luoyang?"

"With Your Majesty's grace, King Chenliuzhao deserves it very well, I am very grateful." Bian was moved. The ones that had nothing to do with her just now were, and the relatives in Luoyang were the ones she cared about the most. With an imperial edict from Liu Bian, the Bian family became the residence of Luoyang and moved into the old house of Cao's family. It was a step forward to reaching the sky. This also made her devotedly towards Liu Bian and no longer care about Cao Cao's affairs. Whether he had a dragon or no dragon, it had nothing to do with her.

"Okay, you'll go and rest first." Liu Bian pinched Cao Zhang's little face: "I have something to do. After finishing the work, I'll talk to you."

"Yes!" Bian bowed and took Cao Pi away. Cao Pi left the side of the Taiwan area and turned around: "Your Majesty, Guo Huai from the Guo family in Taiyuan is also a person who has enlightened his fate. If he can serve His Majesty, there will be another general under His Majesty."

Liu Bian smiled, waved his hand, and signaled that Cao Pi knew. When he heard Bian talk about the Guo family in Taiyuan, he knew that Guo Huai would definitely appear. As a genius of the Guo family, since he did not move his troops when Wang Yun fought with each other, he would definitely put the chips on the side of the court. Now that Wang Yun has been executed, Guo Huai will naturally take the initiative to seek to enter the court to serve. Passing loyalty through Cao Pi is just one of the ways.

But is he short of a person who can realize his life now? Guo Huai is a little overestimating himself. Don’t worry, and then brew it for a while before talking about it. The good soup is cooked slowly.

Not long after, Liu Fan hurried over. Liu Bian asked him to see the portrait: "Do you know this person?"

Liu Fan frowned and shook his head: "I don't know you."

"Are any of the soldiers in your camp who believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master?"

"This... should be quite a lot." Liu Fan was a little nervous, not knowing why Liu Bian asked this question. But it was nothing to think about it. Liu Bian could accept the Yellow Turban Army that had rebelled, so he would not reject the Tianshidao that had not raised the banner. "Yizhou is the base camp of Tianshidao, and there are many believers. However, those ordinary believers may not be able to contact the masters of the Taoist sect except their own villagers. Your Majesty might as well call the Guanzhongzhi of Tianshidao to ask, and they should know more."

Liu Bian nodded and asked again: "Ling Zun is in Yizhou, so he has much contact with Tianshidao, right?"

Liu Fan blushed. Although he had never been to Yizhou, he knew that his father Liu Yan had a lot of contact with Tianshidao, especially Lu, the wife of Tianshidao, who had been coveting for a long time. When Liu Bian asked about this, it was obvious that he was not unaware of the situation in Yizhou.

"Your Majesty, I heard this."

"Write a letter to Lingzun and ask the important figures in their religion to come to Chang'an." Liu Bian waved his hand and ordered: "In addition, I will invite the people who are governed by Tianshidao in Guanzhong to see me. I have some questions to ask them."

"Now!" Liu Fan did not dare to be careless, so he responded quickly and turned around and left. After getting off the Jianzhang platform and returning to the shore of Kunming Lake, he let out a long breath, sweating soaked in his shirt. Although Liu Bian did not speak harshly to him, the majesty he inadvertently revealed made him dare not be careless at all. At this moment, he was indescribable to Jia Xu. If Jia Xu had not stopped the Yizhou army in the shady valley road and took the Yizhou army for his own use, he would have let the Yizhou army and Wang Yun work together, the father and son would probably have been on the list of rebellious rebellions now. With the elite soldiers and generals under the emperor, even if Yizhou is in danger, it would not be able to defend for too long. Sooner or later, the Liu family in Jiangxia would be a tragedy of the destruction of their families.

...

A Taoist followed Liu Fan and quickly walked up to Jianzhang Platform, but was stopped by Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked at the Taoist up and down and asked, "Who is this?"

Liu Fan quickly replied: "It is the Guanzhong Zhitou Priest Jiu Jihe, the great priest of the Tianshidao, who came here under the imperial edict for His Majesty to inquire."

Liu Bei waved his hand, Ma Chao and another Komsui Lang walked up and shouted, "Rise your arm!"

"This..." Aihe looked at Liu Fan, his face looked a little ugly. Liu Fan was also anxious and took the lead: "General Liu, what is the rule?"

"New Rules." Liu Bei smiled and pulled the corners of his mouth: "If there are turmoil today, there are too many people who are planning to do something wrong. Who knows which one is an assassin? What if the master of the Heavenly Master you brought has any ideas, wouldn't we be liable?"

Liu Fan was blushing and could not speak. He knew that although his father and son nominally surrendered to the court, they were not trusted by the emperor. The reason was very simple. Liu Yan had not handed over the taxes he should have this year to Chang'an, because the mi thief blocked the road. This was naturally an excuse. Since Liu Yan had had a close relationship with Tianshidao, how could the people of Tianshidao block Hanzhongdao - unless it was instructed by Liu Yan.

Liu Bei was trying to search the Taoist Tianshi at this moment, so he was naturally making things difficult for him, but behind the intentional harshness, it was likely that the emperor's distrust and dissatisfaction with their father and son. Liu Fan had no choice but to turn around and bow to Ai He: "It's urgent to follow the power of things. Master Ai, can you feel wronged?"

Ai He smiled slightly: "Ai He was originally a Taoist practitioner. He took Lao Tzu as his sect and kept saying 5,000 words. How could he care about this? It's okay, just come and search." As he said that, he opened his arms and looked at Liu Bei with a smile. "Although this general has a dragon's life and has amazing cultivation, he is cautious. With a master guard like him, what kind of sting can hurt the emperor? The emperor is safe and sound, which is a blessing for all the people in the world."

Liu Bei's eyes tightened: "Can you see my dragon life?"

Ai He nodded with a smile: "I know a little about physiognomy. You can tell at a glance that you are extraordinary and you are a dragon and phoenix among people."

"The Taoist priest was too much." Liu Bei smiled slightly, but remained silent. He looked at Ma Chao searching Ai He's body, and then he moved away: "The Taoist priest, please come with me."

"Thank you, General." Ai Heshou greeted him, and together with Liu Fan, he followed Liu Bei towards Jianzhangtai.
