101. [098] Alliance
Shen Xian left others to work in the study, and only took Fa Zheng to meet Xi Zhi. Guo Jia was very dissatisfied with this, he strongly asked to go with him on the grounds that he hadn't seen his old friend for a long time and really missed him, but was ruthlessly rejected by Shen Xian.
Shen Xian said this: "If it's to see an old friend, when I teach him a lesson, you can get tired of catching up with each other every day, if it's for the sake of forming an alliance, you promised me before I wouldn't think nonsense before I recovered from my illness." โ
"Butโ" Guo Jia frowned deeply.
"No, but." Shen Xian smiled slightly, she interrupted Guo Jia's words in a gentle but resolute tone: "So you either stay here honestly and read a book, or go out for a walk or go back to sleep, do you need me to send someone to follow you?" โ
Guo Jia's gaze crossed Shen Xian's shoulder and landed behind her, Fa Zhengzheng blinked proudly, seeing Guo Jia grit his teeth: "No need." โ
"That's good." Shen Xian patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Xiaozhi, let's go." โ
Fa Zheng trotted a few steps forward, he just wanted to say something, suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then he was slapped in the face by Shen Xian mercilessly: "Look, go and talk to Xi Zhicai." โ
Looking at Fa Zheng with a face full of grievances, Guo Jia's mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
On the way to the hall, Fa Zheng nagged to Shen Xian: "Lord, what do you want me to do in a while?" I heard that the man bullied you? Do you want me to humiliate him? โ
Shen Xian rolled her eyes, and she said in a cold tone: "It's good if you annoy him." โ
"Okay!" Fa Zheng nodded with interest, and suddenly felt that something was wrong halfway through the nod: "Lord, you-"
"Don't humiliate him, how can you say that people are also here to form an alliance, what's the matter with bullying the messenger?" Shen Xian smiled, and she said in a brisk tone: "Just look at my face, just be smart, this kind of time is a test of the tacit understanding between us!" โ
Fa Zheng pouted dissatisfiedly: "Got it." โ
Xi Zhicai was standing in the hall with his hands behind his back to admire a calligraphy hanging on the wall, the calligraphy was written by Cai Yong in his self-created Feibai style, and the first article was Huang Zu's private collection, Shen Xian copied Huang Zu's house when he turned it out of his private library, and I don't know how he got it. After Cai Yan identified that this was indeed her father's authentic handiwork, it was framed by Shen Xian and happily hung in the hall where the guests were entertained.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Xi Zhi turned around. When his eyes fell on Shen Xian, Xi Zhicai slowly smiled, and he said in a brisk tone: "Lord Liu, don't come to harm." โ
"Mr. To's blessing." Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Mr. looks good, right?" โ
"It's all the rejuvenation of Huashen doctors." Xi Zhicai bowed to Shen Xian: "I wonder if Doctor Hua is in Jiangling?" I would like to thank him personally. โ
"Master is indeed here," Shen Xian nodded: "It's just that his old man has always been elusive, and whether he can see him or not has to be fate." โ
"Doctor Hua Shen set up a stall at the gate of Zaohua Lane in the west of the city for free clinics." Fa Zheng suddenly spoke: "Mr. Xi, you can go and have a look." โ
"Thanks for the reminder." Xi Zhicai's gaze fell on Fa Zheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with interest: "......Who is this?"
Fa Zheng bowed his hand to Xi Zhicai seriously: "Under the law, the law is filial piety, and the wind is good." โ
As soon as Xi Zhi wanted to say something, she saw Shen Xian put her hand on Fa Zheng's shoulder and patted it gently, she said with a smile: "Mr. Xi, you can be serious, don't frighten our children." โ
Fazheng: ...... Lord, we can't get along!
Although Fa Zheng slandered in his heart, he still remembered Shen Xian's previous words, so he was aggrieved and didn't speak.
After listening to Shen Xian's words, Xi Zhicai's interest in Fa Zheng increased instead of decreasing, but since Shen Xian opened his mouth, he couldn't bully her subordinates in front of the lord for a while, so he immediately smiled and diverted the topic: "What Lord Liu said, it's just to say hello." โ
After the three of them sat down, no one said their true purpose first, so Shen Xian casually talked with Xi Zhicai, and the two of them chatted nonsense, but gradually regained the feeling they had when they were chatting in Lujiang, and Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling as if something was wrong. Just when Fa Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to remind Shen Xian that it was important to get down to business, Shen Xian and Xi Zhicai finally ended their idle conversation and quietly moved the topic to the situation in Xuzhou.
"Meng Degong is really a man of temperament." Shen Xian said with a slight sigh.
The matter of the slaughter of the city in Xuzhou is already a topic that cannot be said by Cao Cao, although Boss Cao himself is very frank and does not care how others criticize him on this matter, but some people under his command feel that Cao Cao is really cruel, in order not to shake the heart of the army, Xiahoudun and Xi Zhicai decided to secretly block the matter and prohibit everyone from talking.
Xi Zhicai's expression became very stiff for a moment after listening to Shen Xian's words, but then he found that Shen Xian was simply commenting on this matter, without any biased โกโก, and her expression was serious, her tone was sincere, and there was no hint of ridicule.
A few thoughts turned in his heart, and finally Xi Zhicai shook his head tiredly: "Alas......"
Xi Zhicai sighed, he could only sigh, what Shen Xian said was the gossip of his father-in-law, no matter whether Cao Cao was wrong or right, as a subordinate, he couldn't comment on half a point.
Before the drama was finished, Shen Xian suddenly changed her words: "Meng Degong is still in Xuzhou, why do you have time to come here, sir?" โ
Xi Zhicai's expression remained unchanged, still a little sluggish, he raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Xian: "Why do you want to ask knowingly?" โ
Shen Xian raised her eyebrows and smiled: "If Mr. Xi doesn't know what to say, I can't be sentimental." โ
After laughing enough, he finally entered the topic, and Xi Zhi suddenly became strict, and he said to Shen Xian very seriously: "Lord Liu, you are in danger!" โ
"Oh? Where does this begin? Shen Xian's heart was excited, the legendary alarmist flicker has finally come! She pretended to be unhappy on her face: "I was a friend of my husband, but I didn't expect my husband to be ......"
Shen Xian stood up and walked out as she spoke, but was stopped by Fa Zheng: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, listen to what he has to say first?" โ
"My lord, slow and angry," Xi Zhicai hurriedly said, "Can you listen to me?" โ
Fa Zheng kept giving Shen Xian a look, and finally the "arrogant" Shen Xian finally sat down again with a cold snort: "Speak." โ
Xi Zhicai analyzed the situation for Shen Xian, it was nothing more than that Shen Xian's empty gloves and white wolf played too big, and Yuan Shu played around, and now Yuan Shu was angry and hated Shen Xian to the bone, if it weren't for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce in Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu was busy fighting against Lu Bu to grab the territory of Xuzhou, he would have taken action against Shen Xian a long time ago.
Shen Xian looked disdainful, she does have the capital to disdain Yuan Shu now: "If Yuan Highway wants to fight, just come." โ
Xi Zhicai smiled in a low voice: "Lord Liu said that the lord is a man of temperament, but I think you are the same." You really don't have to be afraid of Yuan Highway, but what about Yuan Benchu? โ
Shen Xian's expression remained unchanged, she hugged her arms and raised her chin slightly: "Yuan Benchu's disagreement with Yuan Highway is a well-known thing in the world, Mr. Xi, don't try to deceive me." โ
"That's not right, my lord." Xi Zhicai smiled confidently: "You must know that you can't write two Yuan characters in one stroke, no matter how they are, they are all a family, will Yuan Benchu sit back and watch Yuan Highway be wiped out?" โ
Shen Xian didn't speak, she showed a thoughtful expression.
At this time, Fa Zheng suddenly sneered: "Mr. Xi's words are not right, the difference between the heavens and the earth, once Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu fall out, there is no possibility of turning around." โ
Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Fa Zheng to refute him, but his mind turned quickly, and he said, "Mr. Fa's words-"
It's a pity that Xi Zhicai was interrupted by Shen Xian with a smile before he finished speaking: "Mr. Xi, since you are here, let's talk about business, you haven't made it clear yet, how dangerous am I, you said half of this, I'm a little scared." โ
Xi Zhicai felt a little aggrieved, but after Fa Zheng finished speaking, he lowered his head, and in the face of Shen Xian's burning gaze, he had to change his words: "Today, Lord Liu is the first person in the group......"
"Don't!" Shen Xian covered her face: "I'm embarrassed when you say it." โ
Xi Zhicai: "......"
Xi Zhicai, who was interrupted for the third time, had already calmed down, and he really felt that Yizhou was full of snake spirit diseases, and he couldn't talk well at all. But Xi Zhicai shouldered Cao Cao's hopes, and Shen Xian could ignore them, but Cao Cao couldn't help but form an alliance with Shen Xian, and he needed Shen Xian to help contain Liu Biao and the possible remnants of Yuan Shu in the future, so that he could rest assured that he would fight against Yuan Shao.
After turning all the words around his mouth, Xi Zhicai decided to tell the truth and get straight to the point, he understood it, and if he went on in a roundabout way, no matter how many words he said, Shen Xian would gag past.
Xi Zhicai restrained the flattering look on his face, he slowly stood up according to the table, and clenched his fists to Shen Xian solemnly: "Lord Liu, in fact, I am here to talk about the alliance this time. โ
As soon as Xi Zhicai's words fell, Shen Xian and Fa Zheng immediately showed clear expressions, and Shen Xian patted Xi Zhicai's shoulder: "Mr. Xi, you said it earlier." โ
Xi Zhicai: "......"
Now that Xi Zhicai has already said his purpose, Shen Xian will not talk nonsense with him, after selling a few miserable words with Xi Zhicai, Shen Xian decided to send Xun You to talk to Xi Zhicai in detail.
As for Guo Jia, forget it, it's one thing to want to catch up with friends, and it's another thing to get down to business, Shen Xiancai won't give Xi Zhicai a chance to pry Guo Jia.
Although in the end, it is likely that Guo Jia will pry the drama Zhicai.
