Liu Yu picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.

"Although Dong Zhuo has retreated to Chang'an, the emperor is still in his hands. If we cannot revive our army and save the emperor from danger, war will inevitably break out."

Liu Yu's eyes were full of worry.

"By then, the Han Dynasty will have no peace, and the people will have to endure the suffering of war. Sir, you are a great man at that time, how can you bear to see the people suffer without saving them? Yu begs you to come out and help."

Mr. Shuijing smiled faintly.

"Uncle Royal is concerned about the world, which makes me admire him very much, but I am old and have no interest in the world. I am just a country bumpkin, and I don't deserve the reputation of a great man. Uncle Royal, please don't mention helping me anymore. Come, have some wine, have some wine."

After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and started drinking.

Judging from Liu Yu's facial features as seen in the water mirror, he was at most in his early forties. In later times, this age would not be considered old. But in this era where the average age is generally low, being in your forties is indeed considered old.

But Liu Yu knew that Shui Jing should be in a stage where he was enjoying everything he ate and had no health problems at this stage, otherwise he would not have been able to recommend Crouching Dragon and Phoenix again and again later.

Liu Yu looked at the wine in front of him and remained silent.

Shui Jing saw that Liu Yu did not drink and asked, "Why doesn't the emperor's uncle drink? If not for the fact that the wine is sour and bitter, then it will go into the emperor's uncle's mouth."

Liu Yu sighed silently.

"How dare you do that? When I think of the emperor being trapped in Dong Zhuo's hands and being bullied every day, my heart aches. Even if it were the best nectar in the world, I would find it hard to swallow it."

After saying this, his expression became sad and his eyes were filled with tears.

Shui Jing secretly observed and saw that Liu Yu's expression was miserable, and it didn't seem fake. He thought to himself, this man is so young, but he has created such a great reputation in the world. He is also a relative of the Han Dynasty and the emperor's uncle, and he still cares so much about the emperor?

Water mirror is not sure.

"Uncle, please do not be sad. In my opinion, the imprisonment of the emperor is a blessing for you."

Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Shui Jing said calmly, "The Han Dynasty is weak and the emperor has been captured. It is the time for the emperor's uncle to make achievements. The emperor's uncle is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has great talent and wisdom. As long as the emperor's uncle makes a call, heroes from all over the world will surely gather to respond. By then, the whole world will belong to the emperor's uncle."

There was a hint of anger on Liu Yu's face, but he was obviously trying hard to suppress it.

"Your words are absurd. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, my lifelong wish is to rescue the emperor, support the Han Dynasty, and save the people from danger. If you say so, doesn't it mean that I am seeking the throne of the emperor?"

Shui Jing smiled slightly.

"The throne of the emperor has always been held by virtuous people. If the emperor's uncle is a young hero and can really turn the tide, his prestige will be more than a hundred times that of the emperor who has been in power for many years. At that time, it would be the popular wish for the emperor's uncle to be the emperor."

When Liu Yu heard Shui Jing's words, he wondered in his heart, could it be that his performance was too obvious in order to trick Shui Jing into coming out, which made him suspicious.

This shouldn't be the case. My tears are flowing and my facial expression is sad. I don't feel there is anything wrong.

In Liu Yu's memory, Shui Jing should be a staunch supporter of the Han Dynasty!

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. This can be seen from the people he associates with.

"I heard that Mr. Shuijing is a man of high moral character, so I came to visit him wholeheartedly. I thought he would give me some profound advice, but who knew that it was nothing but the words of a pedantic scholar. As the saying goes, if you don't share the same ideals, you can't make plans together. Please allow me to leave."

After saying this, he bowed, stood up, and walked out.

In the light of the fire, Liu Yu's eyes were filled with grief and anger.

The water mirror sees it in the eyes and the joy is in the heart.

From my previous test of Liu Yu, it can be seen that this man cares about the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, and has never had any intention of usurping power. This is truly rare.

"Uncle, I admire your loyalty. I just said something wrong."

After saying this, he bowed and asked Liu Yu and others to take their seats quickly.

Seeing the happy look on Shui Jing's face, Liu Yu knew that his performance had won Shui Jing's approval.

He will not leave easily until his purpose here is achieved.

Liu Yu sat down again and they drank a few more glasses of wine.

Liu Yu brought up the old topic again, but Shui Jing waved her hand and said, "Uncle, it's getting late. Please rest in my humble abode for one night. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

After hearing Shui Jing say this, Liu Yu was unwilling to force it.

I had to go into the guest room to rest.

Liu Yu walked into the house and saw that although the layout of the room was simple, it had a sense of elegance.

In the middle of the night, Liu Yu heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard.

Then the door opened and the sound of water mirror was heard.

"Yuanzhi, come in quickly. The journey back from Jingzhou was peaceful."

"I met this little thief and he got rid of me in no time."

Shui Jing laughed.

"Yuanzhi is still so chivalrous."

Shui Jing led Yuan Zhi into the house and they both drank a few glasses of wine.

Shui Jing asked, "How do you feel about going to Jingzhou?"

"Jingzhou is rich and prosperous. One can fight for the whole world if he lives there. Unfortunately, Liu Biao is stupid and incompetent. I think Jingzhou will be lost sooner or later."

"After leaving Jingzhou, I wanted to go to Yizhou to take a look. After asking around, I learned that Yizhou Governor Liu Yan saw that the emperor was in trouble and did not think of rescuing him. He secretly wanted to establish his own power. How could such a person be worthy of my Xu Shu's service?"

"Two hundred years have passed since Emperor Guangwu's restoration of the Han Dynasty. The Han royal family members have either been weakened by wealth or are plotting evil. There are no heroes left. It seems that my plan to save the world through the Han royal family members is simply not feasible."

Shui Jing smiled and said, "What Yuan Zhi said is not entirely true."

"Sir, you are so sure. Could it be that you have already chosen a candidate? Who is it? Tell me about it."

Shui Jing hadn't said anything yet, when a voice slowly sounded.

"Is this Xu Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu was slightly startled and stared at the person who came.

This man was young, handsome, with smiling eyes and a friendly air.

"Who are you? How do you know me, Xu Shu?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he burst out laughing. It was indeed him. Judging from his attire, he must have begun to give up martial arts and focus on literature.

A knight-errant starts to study and within a few years, he can be on par with the most powerful strategists of the time.

Regarding this phenomenon, Liu Yu could only attribute it to two words: talent.

Hard work can determine your lower limit, and talent can determine your upper limit. Xu Shu is obviously a combination of hard work and talent, which enabled him to plan and win battles thousands of miles away.

"Not only do I know you as Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, I also know your real name is Xu Fu. It was the name you changed after you killed someone."

Xu Shu thought that it was Mr. Shui Jing who told him. He turned to look at Shui Jing and found that there was also a hint of suspicion in Shui Jing's eyes.

Xu Shu's eyes were filled with shock. Who was this young man? How could he know him so well? He even knew about his murder and escape.
