Thinking of this, the pottery merchant heard his father's words again, and hurriedly said in agreement:

"Yeah, brother Xuande, I will stand up and explain today's matter clearly to everyone. Since my father is going to hand over Xuzhou to you, our father and son will not make things difficult for Brother Xuande. Some obstacles will be cleared for brother Xuande in advance."

Liu Bei was ecstatic in his heart, at first he thought that what he did was an accident, but the Taos and his sons didn't expect that I ordered someone to drug him and killed Tao Qian, and the two fathers and sons would hand over Xuzhou to him. Don't mention how happy I am.

But at this time, Liu Bei's face was not happy. Instead, he looked at Tao Qian and Tao Shang's father and son with a sad face, and said:

"Bei, what is your virtue and how can you be loved by the two of you? What's going on in the future, Mr. Tao, just give orders to the eldest son, and Bei will definitely handle things well."

Tao Qian and the pottery merchant nodded after hearing Liu Bei's words. Tao Qian said to Liu Bei:

"Xuande, you can accept Xuzhou, Xuzhou will definitely be better under your leadership."

After Tao Qian finished speaking, he coughed a few times at the right time. Seeing this, the Tao merchant hurriedly rubbed his father's chest, and said to his father:

"Father, your body is important, so don't say so much. Since brother Xuande has agreed to take over Xuzhou, you should rest assured about this matter."

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded quickly and said comfortingly:

"Yes, Mr. Tao, don't worry about it anymore. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. Xuzhou can't do without you!"

After hearing what the two said, Tao Qian nodded, pretending to be very tired, and said to the potter:

"Shang'er, I'm too tired for my father, I'm going to rest, you can send Xuande out of the house for me."

After hearing this, the pottery merchant stood up quickly and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also hurriedly stood up, gave Tao Qian a deep salute, and said:

"Mr. Tao has a good rest. I will take my leave first. If you have anything to do, please feel free to call me. I will come quickly."

Tao Qian just nodded, raised his hand reluctantly, waved at Liu Bei, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep. The potter took Liu Bei out of Tao Qian's room and sent Liu Bei out of the house.

After Liu Bei walked out of the mansion, he saluted the potter and said:

"Eldest Young Master, you don't need to send any more. Tao Gong's body is the most important thing now. If you need any medicine, just ask someone to come to our army and talk about it. There are still some medicines in our army camp."

After hearing this, the pottery merchant saluted back and said:

"Brother Xuande, don't worry, as long as there is a need for you, I will never be polite."

Both Liu Bei and the pottery merchant laughed loudly. Liu Bei said goodbye to the pottery merchant. The smiles on his face couldn't be stopped all the way. The thing that had lingered in his heart for a long time really came to fruition. Can you be unhappy?

Laughing while walking along the way, couldn't help laughing, and walked towards the barracks.

The Tao merchant sent Liu Bei away, returned to Tao Qian's house, and drove everyone out one after another, leaving only Tao Qian and Tao merchant father and son.

Seeing that everyone was gone, the pottery merchant called Tao Qian up and asked Tao Qian:

"Father, can you understand today?"

Tao Qian shook his head and said:

"I didn't expect that this thief Liu Xuande really did it!"

The pottery merchant nodded and said:

"Father is right. It seems that Liu Bei has already had evil intentions. He thought that his father died early so that he could take over Xuzhou smoothly. He should have done the poisoning."

Tao Qian nodded and said to his son:

"When I first said that I would give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, I noticed the fleeting smile on Liu Bei's face, and he quickly suppressed it. This person is thoughtful and forbearing. If you don't hurry up Drive him out of Xuzhou, I'm afraid Xuzhou will be in danger."

After hearing what his father said, the Tao merchant didn't see the smile on Liu Bei's face at that moment, because he and Liu Bei were squatting side by side in front of his father's bed at that time, and he could see Liu Bei's face from his angle. changes!

The potter said:

"Father believed it this time, right? There must be something wrong with Liu Bei. When I first met Liu Bei, I could feel that this man was deep-minded, not as loyal and righteous as he appeared on the surface. I didn't expect this thief He actually misses our Xuzhou."

Tao Qian also looked regretful, and said:

"Yeah, I blamed my father at the time. I didn't see the hypocrisy of this person. I thought he came to help us resist Cao Cao just for the sake of helping the Han family as he said. I didn't expect that he could be so forbearing. To such an extent!"

The pottery merchant was sober in his heart, and he was caught by this hypocrite early on. If it had been later, his father might have died in a muddle-headed way, and he and his family would not end well, so the pottery merchant asked his father :

"Father, what are your plans? Is there any way to drive Liu Bei away?"

Tao Qian thought for a while and said:

"I don't have any good solution now. I can only wait for the opportunity. During this period of time, I need to cultivate my body well, and wait for my father to recuperate my body before deciding to deceive Liu Bei, the thief."

The pottery merchant also felt that what his father said was right. If he was in a hurry, it would definitely backfire, and he needed to think of a perfect plan. The pottery merchant said to his father:

"Father, you are right. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body first. As I said just now, as long as father can live well, Liu Bei will naturally not dare to act rashly!"

From Liu Bei's point of view, it was a more correct decision to ask Sun Langzhong in the camp to add two kinds of medicinal materials to Tao Qian's medicine.

If he really got Xuzhou, then he would use Xuzhou as his base camp and take the opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses to fight against the princes. If he had no soldiers or horses, he would definitely not be able to fight them.

Liu Bei was thinking about it, when two people walked in from the gate of the camp. These two people were Liu Bei's sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Just as Zhang Fei walked in, he saw Liu Bei smiling there, so he asked Liu Bei:

"Brother, what is there to be happy about today? Tell me, Lao Zhang, too? Let me be happy for Big Brother too!"

Liu Bei made fun of himself when he heard his third brother speak, so he said angrily:

"It's nothing, why did you two come to me suddenly? Are you not angry with your brother?"
