Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Lie Fan: “Stop! How can you act lawless here in Xiapi?! Are you not afraid of the law that was enforced by the new Inspector that from now on people that cause public unrest will be arrested and put in jail for a week?!”

Everyone there immediately stopped even the brown-skinned man who was shouting obscene words and turn their attention toward Lie Fan who was standing at the stair accompanied by Jia Xu and a group of men wearing weird masks and weird helmets

Thin Man: ” I’m sorry gentleman that My third brother has bothered your dining time, I apologize for his behavior”

Brown-skinned: “Big Brother it was those people who started first how can you apologize?! It should be them who apologized to this man!”

Thin Man: “Third Brother!!”

After hearing the reprimand voice from the Thin Man, the ferocious and foul-mouthed brown-skinned man immediately calm down and not saying any more words surprising everyone there as this Thin Man have such an effect on the brown-skinned man

Lie Fan: “Seeing as the big man has calmed down, Why don’t these three gentlemen follow me upstairs to my private room and owner don’t worry about the damages I will pay for them” .

The owner of the restaurant immediately thanked Lie Fan while the Thin Man wanted to refuse but Lie Fan and his group already go upstairs back towards his private room making him and his brothers have no choice but to follow them upstairs

Jia Xu in the private room was confused by Lie Fan’s actions as he invited three strangers, one even proclaimed the oldest one is a county prefect without evidence backing it up but he trusted Lie Fan’s action as maybe he see something that pique his interest

Lie Fan takes his seat and waits for these three people who he knew but he wanted to confirm it first as if it’s true that he has a pest in his land and needs to be taken care of immediately before it grew into a scourge

A knock was heard on the door and He Yi’s voice can hear from the outside saying that the gentleman that he invited had arrived and asked permission to enter which Lie Fan agree to it

The door to the room opened and the thin man alongside his brothers enter the room, he greeted both Lie Fan and Jia Xu first thanking them for paying the damages caused by his brother which he will repay

Lie Fan just waved his hand and told them to take a seat while he pour some tea for the three of them, the thin man take the lead and sit down while his two brothers follow bi lead sitting down on the left and right sides of the thin man

Lie Fan: “May I know the name of your name esteemed gentleman?”

Liu Bei: “I’m Liu Bei, Liu Xuande prefect of Gaotang in Qing Province descendant from Marquis of Linyi and a distant relative of the Imperial Clan, this is my Second Brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang and Third Brother Zhang Fei Zhang Yide”

Hearing the name Lie Fan is happy that his prediction was correct this is the big-eared Liu and his sworn brothers, he doesn’t know why they suddenly in Xiapi when they should be staying in Gaotang but history books and the novels can’t dictate every single thing everyone does as if so the book will be very big

Lie Fan: “Hello Sir Liu Bei, I’m Lie Fan the Inspector of Xu Province and this is my advisor Master Jia Xu we both welcomed you to Xiapi”

Liu Bei: “So it’s the young Lord Inspector of Xu Province! I apologize for the conduct of my third brother before”

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were surprised that the young man before them was Lie Fan the young Inspector of Xu Province who was promoted thanks to his contribution to the war against the Yellow Turbans even killing the leader of the Yellow turbans

Lie Fan: “I don’t know why Sir Liu Bei came here to Xiapi from Gaotang in Qing Province?”

Liu Bei: “I’m here to visit my friend Jian Yong who stayed here to learn as a scholar when we separated as me and my brothers go to war against the Yellow Turbans he take shelter in Xiapi and learn education also”

Lie Fan doesn’t expect Jian Yong is staying here in Xiapi if he knew he will try to recruit him but considering the relationship between Liu Bei and Jian Yong were childhood friends so it will be just an empty profit where he will not be able to convince Jian Yong due to the bond they had

Lie Fan: “I see, even though Sir Liu Bei is visiting your friends but please refrain from making a scene again as I’m trying to raise public security in Xiapi’

Liu Bei: “Of Course Lord Inspector, Third Brother hurry and apologize to Lord Inspector!”

Zhang Fei: “Lord Inspector I’m sorry for my conduct before and I promised to not repeat it!”

Lie Fan: “Haha okay okay It has passed, how about we eat now? I haven’t finished eating my food when Brother Zhang Fei is causing the commotion haha!”

Jia Xu follows Lie Fan laughing alongside him making Liu Bei and Guan Yu also laugh while Zhang Fei is a bit embarrassed but then laughs out loud, Lie Fan called for a servant and orders more food and wine to serve the three brothers

Lie Fan and Liu Bei began conversing with each other talking about many things especially the condition of the Han Dynasty right now, while the big-eared Liu doesn’t know that Lie Fan is probing him trying to see if he have any intention of Xu Province

Even though Liu Bei looks just and innocent, only he and Cao Cao understand that the Han Dynasty is already doomed from the start but they both walk different oath where Liu Bei use virtue and loyalty while Cao Cao walk the so-called path of chaos

Liu Bei also doesn’t hesitate to betray his benefactors like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao as long as his goal is achieved which is why Liu Bei is the most dangerous Warlord and he is like a cockroach very hard to eliminate

Jia Xu the side stays silent and only talks when Lie Fan give him a topic or stirs the conversation towards him, he feels weir seeing Liu Bei who was saying that he is part of the Imperial Clan even though a distant relative but people who were introducing their name like that surely have a grand ambition behind it

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are at the side eating and drinking wine merrily as they haven’t eaten many foods since their first Yellow Turbans battle, even in Gaotang they don’t eat many foods to save money for the county

After finishing the food Lie Fan invited the three brothers to live in the Governor’s castle as he will provide them with some quarters but Liu Bei refused to say that they will stay with his friend Jian Yong, as he was declined then Lie Fan take his leave alongside Jia Xu and his bodyguards saying goodbye to the three brothers

In Lie Fan’s carriage on the way back toward their residence in the Governor’s castle, Jia Xu began to question Lie Fan about his intention with this Liu Bei as Jia Xu doesn’t have good feelings about this man

Lie Fan: “I have heard of him through some rumors Master Jia Xu, it was said that he and his brothers lead a band I militia defeating Yellow Turbans in Ji and Qin Province, and due to his contribution looks like h was made to become a perfect of Gaotang”

Jia Xu: “Oh? Even though he said that he is a descendant of the Marquis of Linyi a notable member of the Imperial Clan and son of Emperor Jing he only become a prefect of a county?”

Lie Fan: “Maybe his words are not credible enough and with how chaotic the imperial court is right now maybe those factions don’t want to recognize his ancestry yet even though it is easy enough to check it”

Jia Xu: “So do I need to keep an eye on him, My Lord? I can send the Oriole members to follow him and his brothers to see what they will do while they stay here in Xiapi”

Lie Fan: “Yes keep an eye on them, I want to know what they do every single day until the day they leave Xiapi leave no stone unturned”

With Lie Fan’s order and permission, Jia Xu will send oriole members to follow Liu Bei when they arrived at the governor’s castle, and thanks to Xu Kai recruiting new grille members in Luoyang he send 15 members that arrived in Xiapi before them as reinforcement

With the increase of new members, the network of intelligence they have over Xiapi is more solid as they will know the movement of high-ranking government staff and what are they doing every day

While they were on the topic of the Oriole, Lie Fan remember that he had bought some equipment designs for Oriole members the sleeve arrows and sleeve blade design which help the Oriole infiltration by bringing lighter equipment

Taking out from his storage through his sleeve, Lie Fan gives this to Jia Xu and tells him that he buy this sketch from an unknown blacksmith back in Guangling which now the blacksmith has already gone

He described how this can help the Oriole in infiltrating missions and this weapon is easy to bring also concealed and with the poison, they will have then this is a great combination even though the downside is all Oriole members have to train in this new equipment

Jia Xu who is known as the Poisonous Strategist in the future of course like this new toy that Lie Fan brings for Oriole and knowing that only their group will have this toy is a bonus as now he will try to concoct some poison in the Gu Jar as he already ordered the servants to capture poisonous bugs and reptiles
