"Didn't the lord give you a lot of salary? Why are you still living so poor? Xun Yu couldn't help but ask.

"I know for myself my present situation, why do dying people need so many people to serve? What's more, the lord is now new to Xuzhou, and the money and food are even more urgent, even if the lord adds an extra tea or two to his own house, he will be distressed for a long time, how can I be qualified to spend it? Xi Zhicai said lightly.

Xun Yu's face turned red: "Okay, you are a drama talent, you are squeezing me!" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "How come?" You are different from me, you are powerless. Even if you are the current head of the Yanzhou Xun family, I'm afraid you won't be able to fully control the money, food and servants in the house! I and I know what kind of person you are, and you don't need to feel guilty about yourself. ”

"Soon, I'll ask the house to bring you some maids and servants." Xun Yu looked at the slightly dilapidated mansion and sighed softly.

Xi Zhicai was silent, just looking at Xun Yu quietly.

"Well, you won't say yes if you think about it. If you had said yes, you wouldn't be like this now. ”

Only then did Xi Zhicai regain his smile: "I owe you and the Xun family enough, and I don't want to owe it anymore." ”

Xun Yu said with a serious face: "Zhicai, why do you think so? Back then, Feng Xiao and I just invited you to a few meals, as for today, do you remember it today? What's more, aren't you willing to go out of the mountain because of my invitation? I owe it to you. ”

Xi Zhicai's face darkened: "Wen Ruo, although I know that you are the purest gentleman, I have to say that the family is really amazing and disgusting!" I'm afraid Feng Xiao and I are both helpers prepared by the family for you, Wang Zuozhicai. ”

Xun Yu's face was shocked: "Zhicai, why did you say this?" ”

Xi Zhicai laughed at himself: "Isn't it? Yingchuan Academy was originally opened by your Xun family, and Feng Xiao and I were actually helpers trained for you, Wang Zuozhi's talent. However, Feng Xiao was rebellious by nature and unwilling to submit to the family, so he retreated to Hebei, but was picked up by Yuan Shu. ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth to defend something, but he just couldn't speak.

"Wen Ruo, you don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault. You are you, the Xun family is the Xun family, you can never get rid of the Xun family, but the Xun family does not only have one you. ”

"In this world, all the families are big thieves!" Xi Zhicai sighed.

Xun Yu's face darkened, but he didn't know how to speak. Being in a family, after being exposed to it since childhood, it is indeed difficult for him to get rid of the shackles of the Xun family.

Xun Yu didn't know what the family was like. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, so many people starved to death in Yanzhou before, and the food in the family's treasury was moldy and they didn't see them take it out. Although the Xun family's family style is relatively better, it is difficult to change its greedy nature.

"The lord and Yuan Highway are almost on the same road. But his path was more bumpy and more difficult. Even if we try our best to support it, it's just the current situation, if I go somewhere, I'm afraid the life of the lord will be even more sad. Xi Zhicai sighed and said.

"Have you really gotten to this point?" Xun Yu was shocked.

"Death is near, and there is no cure." Xi Zhicai smiled.

Why is that? You are only thirty years old, and you are in the year of your establishment, how can you be so fast? Xun Yu was shocked.

Xi Zhicai laughed at himself: "Do you think my qualifications are really that strong? Can even surpass you, Wang Zuozhicai? ”

Holding the teacup in front of him, Xi Zhicai took another sip: "If you don't pay a certain price, how can a son of an ordinary person grow to a height that can stand with you Xun Wenruo?" Even Guo Jia's kid is also a poor family with a lot of education and a solid family, I am indeed a poor person! ”

"What did you give?" Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

"It's the same as that Li Wenyou, just a lifespan. After all, not everyone has the same luck as that kid Bonghyo. Xi Zhicai said lightly.

Xun Yu stood up in a hurry and looked at Xi Zhicai in shock: "You are crazy!" Do you dare to use such evil magic? ”

Xi Zhicai took another sip of tea seemingly indifferently, and said with a slight smile: "Rather than a mediocre life, I would rather be brilliant for a while." Back then, Huo Quai's illness was able to seal the wolf Juxu at a young age, and now I can't help but support a heroic lord and a hundred generations. ”

"Wen Ruo, I am not as profound as you, if I don't fight with my life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get to this position in this life. Therefore, I am really envious and resentful of the family. ”

Xun Yu sat down again, sighed, and drank the tea in front of him. I just feel bitter in my heart.

"How long can you hold out?" Xun Yu said in a difficult tone.

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will never fall in front of the lord to stabilize the situation." ”

"But after I'm gone, you'll have to think about finding someone who can replace me. Although Cheng Yu is good, he is not suitable as a military advisor with the army, and Feng Xiao is now there in Yuan Shu. You have to weigh it carefully, and don't let the lord's hegemony be ruined by me. ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment: "How is Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou?" ”

Xi Zhicai closed his eyes and pondered for a while: "Yes, he and Fengxiao seem to have a bit of a holiday." Although his ability is a little worse, he still hopes to compete with Guo Fengxiao if he cultivates it well. Just him. ”

Xun Yu nodded: "Then in a few days, I will transfer him over and let him follow you, and you will teach him in person." ”

"Okay."

"In other words, is there really no cure for life? Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills are so good, there is no way. Why don't you go to Koto and give it a try? Xun Yu said tentatively.

"No way!" Xi Zhicai decisively refused: "I don't want to see Guo Fengxiao's bastard again, I won't be ridiculed to death by him now?" My illness, I'm afraid that even if Bian Que is alive, there is no way, Wen Ruo, don't worry about it anymore. ”

Xun Yu looked at the resolute Xi Zhicai, and sighed slightly in his heart. You're not afraid of Guo Fengxiao's jokes, but you're worried that you won't be able to come back once you go!

Yuan Shu's attitude towards talents is well known. If Xi Zhicai is really cured, it will definitely be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return. Yuan Shu would never have allowed him to leave Jiangdong.

Rather than this, Xi Zhicai would rather not be treated, and use the only time he has left to overcome obstacles for Cao Cao's road to hegemony.

"Also, don't tell your lord about it, and don't tell anyone else. At such a time, nothing can be done that affects the morale of the army. Xi Zhicai advised.

He had already seen it by now. Born like a summer flower, he already has the same will as Li Ru, and he wants to use his life to lay the foundation for Cao Cao's hegemony.

"Finally, Wen Ruo, as a friend, I have one more word to warn you." Xi Zhicai stared at Xun Yu and said: "Those who are courtiers should be loyal." Whether the lord wants to be the Duke of Zhou or Wang Mang, our courtiers only need to secretly express their attitude. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can't force them. Sometimes, too much reminder and persecution can backfire. I don't want to see the day when you and your lord turn against each other! ”
