Chapter 415 Zhuge Liang's Suspicion



Liu Chan's superpower of "recognizing his father" left everyone dumbfounded.

The one who felt it the most deeply was Zhu Youjian.

Thinking back to when he really thought the other person was his long-lost son, the guilt that arose spontaneously made him shudder.

Fortunately, it was in the tavern. If it was in the original world, I would have run into a bad guy with ulterior motives...

He raised his hand and touched his face, the traces of tears were still wet.

"Your superpower is called recognizing your father?" he couldn't help but ask.

Liu Chan was thick-skinned, so it was okay for him to call his father "dad" in public, but he was really embarrassed by the tears streaming down his face.

"That's not the case," Liu Chan shook his head, "As long as he's a relative, it's fine. I don't think it's appropriate to call Brother Zhu his son."

Zhu Youjian's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

Doesn't this guy have any other relatives besides his son and father? "Thank you." He managed to say it after a long while.

"It doesn't matter." Liu Chan waved his hand indifferently.

Thinking of the effect of this super power, he felt proud.

Zhu Youjian's performance just now clearly came from the heart.

If I hadn't stopped it in time, I would have been able to trick the other party into revealing his true colors.

The reason why he chose to call him dad was because he knew how important his son was to him! Li Yunlong and Tony in the distance looked at each other.

"This kid is quite interesting." Li Yunlong suddenly smiled.

Tony shook his head, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

He also wants this kind of super power.

With it, wouldn't it be possible for Little Pepper to call me daddy openly?

Li Shimin looked at Liu Che with a smile.

Liu Che said nonchalantly: "If his grandfather saw me, he would have to call me ancestor."

Li Shimin's expression froze slightly. He suddenly thought of the scene where Liu Chan recognized his father everywhere and Liu Che was promoted to a higher generation in disguise. He felt a chill in his heart.

He raised his hand and said, "Drink, drink!"

Liu Chan was very satisfied with this super power.

He planned to go back and try it on Zhuge Liang.

The prime minister's father-in-law has always been very strict with him. I don't know how he would feel if he were his son.

If he encountered assassins from Wu and Wei, he would be even less afraid, and he might even have more relatives.

Thinking that everyone in the world is his father and everyone protects him, he feels that life is full of hope.

By then, he could rule by doing nothing, and let these relatives devote themselves to the Shu Han...

"You're not going to buy anything else?"

Seeing Liu Chan laughing there, Zhu Youjian reminded him.

"Oh, yes!" Liu Chan came back to his senses.

He returned his attention to the wine list in front of him.

After considering for a moment, he bought a glass of Captain America's genetic wine.

This wine costs one thousand time and space coins. It can enhance physical fitness tenfold, greatly increase body resistance and recovery, and extend lifespan by a hundred years.

It would be most appropriate to give it to Zhuge Liang.

He respected the prime minister from the bottom of his heart and did not want to see him die before achieving his goal.

Moreover, with the opportunity of owning the tavern, he will surely be able to rest easy in the future, and he will have to let the other party help him govern the world.

He will first give the other person this glass of wine, and when he makes contributions in the future, he will slowly reward him.

After finishing it, Liu Chan looked at other fine wines.

The various fine wines dazzled him and made him feel distracted.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spent a thousand time and space coins to buy a cup of third-generation blood demon wine.

This wine can slightly increase strength and extend lifespan by two hundred and fifty years.

He drank it immediately.

Although his strength has improved only slightly, and because he is not very old, his appearance has not become much younger like many people, but his temperament seems to have improved a lot.

Feeling the changes in himself, Liu Chan smiled happily.

After chatting with Zhu Youjian for a few words, he bought ten cups of third-generation blood demon fortified wine and ten cups of spider fortified wine, each worth only a hundred time and space coins.

At Zhu Youjian's reminder, he bought another ten cups of Awakening Stone Wine.

He planned to use all the wine as rewards for his subordinates.

After the purchase, he still had a lot of time and space coins left.

After looking outside the treasure pavilion, Liu Chan pondered for a while, and finally spent one thousand time and space coins to buy two low-level storage rings and an Iron Man suit.

Seeing that there were still thousands of time-space coins left, he hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not buy anything else.

There are so many things I like, but I don’t have enough money.

After putting the Iron Man suit into his ring, he thought about visiting the treasuries of Wu and Wei when he returned.

Exchange other people's gold for your own space-time coins, so it will be more enjoyable to spend!

It’s a good opportunity to give those two countries a little surprise.

After secretly looking forward to it for a moment, Liu Chan said goodbye to his new friends.

Seeing him leave, Zhu Youjian suddenly laughed and shook his head: "I have an extra son for nothing!"

Liu Che also sighed: "I have so many descendants for nothing!"

After saying this, both of them were silent and looked at each other.

Liu Che smiled and nodded.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Youjian's face.

Liu Chan didn't just call me dad, he was clearly recognizing me as an ancestor!

No wonder that boy was so straightforward when he called me daddy.

Liu Chan naturally didn't have so many thoughts.

He had now returned to the treasury.

As soon as he appeared, he heard a commotion around him.

With a physique that was a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person, his five senses were exceptionally sharp, and the noisy sounds made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of the method Zhu Youjian taught him, he tried to hold his breath to calm himself down, and the discomfort in his ears gradually dissipated.

"Your Majesty, I found Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan suddenly heard a cheer.

He turned his head and saw an official in charge of guarding the national treasury.

He couldn't quite remember the man's name, but he could tell it from his clothes.

Seeing that person saluting towards him, Liu Chan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite!"

The official stood there in a daze, looking at Liu Chan as if he had seen a ghost.

Liu Chan was not very familiar with him, but he knew the leader of Shu Han very well.

The tone and momentum of his speech this time were completely different from before, and he seemed to look a little younger!

While that person was stunned, a group of people came in a mighty manner.

The first person to take the lead was Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan felt a little surprised to see Zhuge Liang appear here.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" A group of people saluted in unison.

"No need for formalities." Liu Chan waved his hand.

He asked curiously, "Why is the Prime Minister here?"

He had originally planned to find Zhuge Liang as soon as he returned, but he never thought that the other party would appear in front of him first.

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty went into the treasury alone and has not appeared for a long time. Everyone is worried about your safety. I heard the news and rushed here. Now that I see that Your Majesty is safe, I am finally relieved."

Liu Chan estimated the time.

He smiled and said, "What can happen to me? You are worrying too much, Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang suddenly pointed to the empty surroundings and said, "Then, Your Majesty, do you know where the gold originally stored here has gone?"

While speaking, Zhuge Liang stared at Liu Chan.

In his early years, when discussing matters, Liu Bei liked to bring Liu Chan by his side, and his intention to cultivate him was self-evident.

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Bei's intentions and always gave Liu Chan advice.

After Liu Bei entrusted his son to him, he was even more focused on how to train him to be a wise ruler comparable to his father.

He could see Liu Chan's strengths: intelligence, optimism, and generosity, but his shortcomings were also obvious: weakness, evasion of responsibility, and love of pleasure.

The new master of Shu Kingdom was exactly the same as his ancestor, King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng.

Now that he saw the gold disappear, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but suspect that it was secretly taken away by Liu Chan.

So much gold was all his military expenses! The Wei State was vast and powerful, and was eyeing him covetously.

If he had not taken advantage of the fact that the new emperor had not yet stabilized the political situation by launching a northern expedition to gain some national fortune, he would have found it difficult to unify the country and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty in the future! However, the military funds were gone.

He didn't think the officials guarding the national treasury were so courageous.

Considering that Liu Chan appeared here, it could only be that he took it away secretly.

But what did he do with so much gold?

Could it be that he was deceived by Wei's spies?

Or did the people of Wu make some promise to him? Zhuge Liang felt cold in his heart.

Being looked at like this by him, Liu Chan felt a little guilty for no reason.

However, thinking of the fine wine stored in the ring, he straightened his back again.

"I...I will naturally inform the Prime Minister about this matter," Liu Chan said with a smile, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the palace and talk about it."

Seeing that he looked normal and spoke in a frank tone, Zhuge Liang felt a little puzzled.

He felt that the Liu Chan in front of him was a little strange and wondered if he had misunderstood him.

"Call the other officials to come together," Liu Chan said again, "and come to my bedroom."

After saying this, Liu Chan turned and walked away.

Zhuge Liang hesitated to speak.

Looking at Liu Chan's back and his brisk steps, he always felt that some unexpected changes seemed to have taken place.

"In such a troubled time, I hope it's not a bad thing." Zhuge Liang sighed secretly.

He worked hard all day and his body was already exhausted.

It was because he sensed that he did not have many years left to live that he was eager to launch a Northern Expedition, intending to gain some more luck for Shu Han before his death.

Liu Bei visited him three times at his cottage and treated him with great courtesy. If he did not repay such kindness and devote himself to the cause of Shu Han, he would feel guilty.

About an hour later, everyone gathered outside Liu Chan's bedroom.

Zhuge Liang stood in the front.

He looked straight ahead, ignoring the whispers of others, still thinking about Liu Chan.

The disappearance of the gold was too strange, and Liu Chan looked so confident that he was puzzled.

He still suspected that the other party was pretending or had been deceived by someone, and was thinking about how to persuade him.

What worried him most was how to raise the military expenses since so much gold had been wasted by Liu Chan.

"I hope he is just hiding." A fierce look flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

A kind person cannot command an army, and he is not a foolishly kind person.

If there really was someone deceiving Liu Chan, he would definitely pull that person out and behead him in public as a warning to others!

Just as Zhuge Liang was daydreaming, Liu Chan had already changed into new clothes and appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing everyone about to salute, he waved his hand to stop them.

With a proud look on his face, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Father, do you know where I took the gold?"

When Zhuge Liang heard him being called "Prime Minister" in public, his heart suddenly tightened.

In the past, people would only say this when the other party made a mistake.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression change and he didn't say anything, Liu Chan asked someone to give him a seat and said, "Everyone, please sit down first."

He then looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Father, why don't you take a guess?"

The rest of the people looked at Zhuge Liang.

Their thoughts were similar and they all felt that it was not a good thing.

"But there is an envoy from Wei who promised Your Majesty that if he sends gold, the Cao family will agree to conclude a peace treaty?" Zhuge Liang asked tentatively.

In his opinion, this was the biggest possibility.

There is a big gap in national strength between Shu and Wei, which anyone with a discerning eye can see.

The Northern Expedition he planned was just to attack instead of defend and seize those few opportunities.

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, many people nodded secretly.

Their ideas are exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's.

Liu Chan laughed loudly: "Am I such a stupid person?"

Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hesitantly, "Could it be that Sun Wu agreed to form an alliance with us?

Liu Chan shook his head and said mysteriously, "I saw a god!"

Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed and he said "Oh no" inwardly.

There are too many Taoist priests who cheat people these days.

He would rather Liu Chan be deceived by spies from Wu and Wei than fall into the hands of a charlatan.

This seems too stupid...

Zhuge Liang was just thinking about it when he suddenly saw a flash of light in Liu Chan's hand and a strange metal object appeared.

"Father, look at what this is." Liu Chan said proudly.

Zhuge Liang, who prided himself on his calmness in the face of adversity, couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.

He saw it clearly just now. The thing in Liu Chan's hand appeared extremely abruptly, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Click!

Liu Chan opened the insurance.

He pointed the rifle in his hand at an empty wooden table in the hall and said, "Everyone, watch out!"

Bang!

Flames spewed out, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the wooden table broke into pieces! Everyone was horrified, and some of the timid ones even squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Zhuge Liang's eyes sparkled as he stared at the object in Liu Chan's hand and asked, "Did the immortal give you this magical weapon?"

The one who presented this must be a hermit master! If there is an army equipped with such a magical weapon, sweeping across the world is a piece of cake! "That's not the case," Liu Chan smiled slightly and said, "This is a gift from my ancestor, Emperor Xiaowu."

"Emperor Xiaowu?" Zhuge Liang was stunned.

Liu Chan raised his head and said, "I had some enlightenment earlier and was summoned by the gods. I saw many gods there. Emperor Xiaowu was already among the gods. Seeing that I was happy, he gave me this gift."

"This thing is called an automatic rifle, and he gave me 500 of them!"

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

Zhuge Liang sighed excitedly: "God has a good vision. There is hope for Shu Han!"

Liu Chan looked at the crowd with a smile: "Such weapons are really insignificant to the gods. When I presented gold, the gods also gave me many treasures."

His tone suddenly became serious, and he said, "Prime Minister!"

"I'm here!" Zhuge Liang stood up quickly.

Liu Chan looked at him with a smile and said, "Father, you have devoted yourself to the country and have made great contributions. I have specially asked for a cup of immortal wine for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a wine glass appeared in his palm.
