In the prefect's mansion, in a side room, Liu Feng was slowly checking his hometown. Next to him was an older minor official.

Liu Bei had a high official position, General Zuo and the governor of Yuzhou. However, the actual jurisdiction was only Xinye County. Of course, Liu Bei himself would not manage government affairs himself.

Some trivial matters are managed by the minor official next to him.

Of course, Liu Feng would not wander around Xinye stupidly and inquire about Deng Ai's whereabouts. As long as he checked in this room where the household registration was recorded, he would definitely find Deng Ai's whereabouts.

Deng Ai was born into the Xinye clan.

With the hometown you can check, it is enough for Liu Feng to know this one.

With the help of the minor official, Liu Feng checked all the families named Deng in Xinye and found only one large clan, which was Dengjia Village, fifty miles west of Xinye.

Most of the people there have the surname Deng, and they are all of the same ethnic group. They are very large.

Liu Feng doesn’t know who Deng Ai is yet, so he can only check it slowly.

After putting down the bamboo slips, Liu Feng bid farewell to the minor official and returned to his house.

In the room, Liu Feng asked Huan'er to put on casual clothes, shoes, and hang a sword for herself.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Huan'er looked at Liu Feng's figure in the bronze mirror, and said with curved eyebrows: "The Major General is dressed like this, and I guess even the wife will be stunned when she sees it."

Inside the bronze mirror is a completely different temperament from Liu Feng.

In the past, Liu Feng often wore regular clothes, with a calm expression and a polite manner. He would never go beyond the pool in everything. But at this moment, Liu Feng was a handsome young man.

Listening to Huan'er's admiration, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he looked at the figure in the bronze mirror.

Maybe I really have too much thoughts and have too much pressure on my own temperament. This time I can't go out for some breathing. I don't have to face Liu Bei, Gan, Xu Shu and others, and I don't have to think about it before doing it. The pressure on my attitude will rebound a little.

If you have the chance, go out for a walk and breathe the air outside. Liu Feng thought in his heart, and at the same time, an unsuppressive desire rose into Liu Feng's heart.

Only in the days without Liu Bei can I not have to suppress my temperament.

This terrible thought was suppressed by Liu Feng as soon as it arose. What he is doing now is to keep Liu Bei's thighs. It is absolutely impossible to go against Liu Bei.

After putting away the evil thoughts that suddenly arose in his heart, Liu Feng smiled at Huan'er and said, "Notify the guards and prepare for travel."

"Yes." Huan'er nodded, bowed dignifiedly, and walked out.

Outside the main gate of the prefect's mansion, Liu Feng knelt on an ordinary carriage. Next to him was eleven guards accompanied him, plus a coachman.

These guards were extremely strong, wearing leather armor, with a look of indifference. You could tell at a glance that they were the fierce soldiers in the army.

These were arranged by the Gan family. After all, the world is not peaceful now, and this is the first time that Liu Feng is traveling alone in Xinye, so he always needs to be prepared.

These soldiers were very cold and only respected the emperor's orders, regardless of the others.

After kneeling down, Liu Feng spoke lightly: "Fifty miles west, Dengjia Village."

"No." The coachman responded to the promise, slowly mobilized the carriage, and headed west. Eleven guards followed without saying a word.

Although the speed of the carriage is no better than that of a war horse, the fifty-mile road still arrives in a flash.

On the avenue, Liu Feng slowly headed west in a carriage, and a huge village appeared in front of him, with fertile fertile fields on both sides of the road.

It was busy farming, and the fields were filled with men and women who were busy with farming work. There were also many children who were half old and not young, who also helped adults work.

There was no sadness on the faces of these people, and they were full of energy. Occasionally, they could hear a few laughter.

What a pastoral scene.

Liu Feng looked around and couldn't help but exclaim.

Liu Feng didn't know how the world was now, but he also knew that the turmoil brought about by the war made most people in danger. Although Xinye under Liu Bei's rule was not rich, it was better than most parts of the Han Dynasty.

It is no wonder that during the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei went south in a panic, but hundreds of thousands of people followed him.

As he got closer and closer to the village, Liu Feng slowly withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment in his heart, and looked up at the entrance of the village.

Near the entrance of the village, an old man was holding a hoe and was about to go out.

Liu Feng's eyes lit up, he walked out of the carriage, hugged the old man and said loudly: "The old man stayed."

The old man was very clear-headed and when he heard someone calling him, he immediately turned to look at Liu Feng. Seeing that although Liu Feng was traveling in casual clothes, his clothes could not be concealed by the brightness, and the guards around him were all strong.

A little awe flashed in the old man's eyes, and he clasped his fists and said, "I wonder if this young man calls the old man, what can I do if I have any advice?"

"I dare not see the disciple." Liu Feng said he didn't dare. Then he smiled and said, "I just want to ask the old man for someone."

Obviously, Liu Feng's attitude won the favor of the old man, with less awe in his eyes and more closeness.

"Please tell me, young master." The old man also smiled.

"A child about five or six years old, surnamed Deng." Liu Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of heat and he asked.

The old man laughed and pointed to the village behind him and said, "As the young master said, there are no less than dozens of people here."

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Liu Feng's eyes, but he said something was missing. He immediately added, "This child was a little stuttering."

According to Liu Feng's previous experience, inquiring about a five or six-year-old child is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. However, with a stuttering, it should be possible to lock down Deng Ai's whereabouts.

But unexpectedly, the old man in front of him changed slightly, his eyes flashed with a little vigilance, and his voice became a little cold. "I wonder what happened to the young master looking for that child?"

The difference between the past and after was too big, which made Liu Feng stunned, but then he understood. The old man must have known Deng Ai's whereabouts. As for the fact that he changed his attitude after hearing Liu Feng inquired Deng Ai, Liu Feng didn't know.

Liu Feng's passion was slightly extinguished. He thought for a while and raised his fist and smiled: "A few days ago, I passed by here and fell a jade pendant. A child who was a little stuttering, picked it up for me. I wanted to thank him, but because of some urgent matters that day, I left in a hurry. Today I came to thank the child's parents."

The old man didn't believe it, but he looked at Liu Feng looking around at more than ten guards, but he did not mean to bully others with his power. Instead, he was kind and polite.

His expression was very calm. The old man looked at it for a moment, but he believed it seven minutes. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Although the child stutters, he has a good heart."

As he said that, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the village and said, "A hundred steps ahead, there is a larger house with mottled rich doors, which is the home of the young man who was mentioned."

Finally found it. Liu Fengan felt the heat in his heart, bent down and saluted to the old man and said, "Thank you for your advice."

"Young man, please be polite." The old man said with a smile and left with a hoe.

Liu Feng stopped for a moment and said to the guard behind him: "Let's go."
