Chapter 9 Backer
Xu Kang knows very well that he has a few catties and taels now, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a feudal dynasty that pursues the official standard, if you want to be like a fish in water, you must have a backer with enough weight.
Even if you don't have one, you have to make one up, it doesn't require how big the official is, but it must be useful!
This is not called deception, it is called strategy!
Of course, it is not okay to make up randomly, if it is detected, then the trouble will be even greater, and there will even be a fear of life.
How to make up a useful backer that will not be debunked depends on the knowledge and analytical ability of the fabricator.
And Xu Kang is just one of the best!
As a game lover, Xu Kang has played almost all types of games, and there are countless games with the theme of the Three Kingdoms.
The game has been played a lot, and he naturally understands the characters of this period, plus he occasionally looks at the character biography in addition to the game, which is basically half of the "Three Kingdoms Pass".
Therefore, when he decided to make up a backer, the first thing he thought of was Cai Yong!
Cai Yong, whose name is Bo Jiao, was a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also an outstanding writer and calligrapher, and he also had a daughter named Cai Wenji, who was recognized as one of the "Four Talented Women" by later generations.
And he is most famous because Dong Zhuo admired his talent, so when he was in power, he was forcibly summoned as a sacrificial wine, and within three days, he successively served as the imperial history, the secretary of the imperial history, the secretary of the imperial history, the Shangshu, the servant of the middle, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, etc., and the title was awarded to the Marquis of Gaoyang Township.
So everyone also calls Cai Yong "Cai Zhonglang".
It's a pity that Cai Yong is a kind person, after Dong Zhuo's death, he thought of the other party's kindness and cried sadly, but he didn't want this move to anger Wang Yun, he was arrested and imprisoned, and finally died in prison.
is in response to the old saying - "success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He".
It can be said that Cai Yong is both admirable and regrettable, which is one of the reasons why Xu Kang chose to pretend to be his disciple.
There is no shame in pretending to be a disciple of such a character!
Of course, this reason is only secondary, mainly because now that Cai Yong has been exiled to Shuofang and will not come back for a few years, Xu Kang can rest assured that he will pretend to be his disciple without worrying about being exposed!
And the most important thing is that now the eunuch party is powerful, and Cai Yong was exiled because he offended the eunuch party, at this juncture, even his original disciple is eager to break off the relationship with him, who will pretend to be his disciple?
Are you waiting to be retaliated against?
Therefore, when Xu Kang said that he was Cai Yong's disciple, although the surnamed Zhang You Jiao was very shocked, he did not doubt it, but showed a somewhat sympathetic gaze.
In his opinion, as long as the news that Xu Kang is Cai Yong's disciple spreads, then the Xu family will become the prey of being targeted, and it won't be long before there will be no bones.
Originally, he was going to come to arrest Xu Fu and extort some money by the way, but now he has given up this plan.
He doesn't want to have anything to do with the Xu family for any reason, what if he is accidentally injured by the eunuchs?
It was not only him who had this idea, but even the person who came with him, that is, the man who was bought as a carpenter slave by Xu Fuqiang, also had this idea at this time.
He glanced at Xu Kang first, and then looked at Xu Fu next to him, with a little schadenfreude on his face, and that expression seemed to say-
"Your brother is Cai Yong's disciple, and if you get involved in this relationship, you just wait for death!"
For a dying person, he didn't bother to care, and after glancing at You Jiao, who was surnamed Zhang, the two arched their hands towards Xu Kang very tacitly, and then said a few kind words and left the Xu family.
After the two of them left, Xu Fu reacted, and then asked Xu Kang with a shocked face: "Second brother, are you really Lord Cai Yong's disciple?" When did you apprentice, and how do I not know? ”
Xu Kang: "......"
Nonsense, Lao Tzu is a liar, how can you know?
Of course, this must not be said with a stunned person like Xu Fu, otherwise it will definitely cause big trouble.
So Xu Kang decided to give him a white lie.
"Brother, in fact, this is the case, that year the teacher returned to his hometown to worship his mother, and happened to meet me playing outside, the teacher saw that I was smart, and he was happy to accept me as a disciple, and said that when he returned to Luoyang, he would send someone to pick me up, but unfortunately there has been no news since then."
With that, he raised his head slightly and let out a long sigh in a forty-five-degree posture looking up at the sky.
"Alas...... Originally, I thought that the teacher had repented, so I didn't tell my mother and you, but it wasn't until later that I learned that it was the teacher who suffered a great disaster and not only lost his official position, but also was exiled. ”
"What? How could such a thing happen? ”
Hearing Xu Kang's words, Xu Fu was startled at first, and then slapped his thigh violently, revealing a face of hatred that iron is not steel.
"Second brother, you are so confused, since you have not officially worshiped Master Cai as a teacher, then why should you admit that you are his disciple? Do you know that Lord Cai has offended the eunuchs, didn't you jump into the fire? No, we can't stay here for long! ”
With that, he stretched out his hands, and then slapped them heavily on Xu Kang's shoulders.
"Second brother, you immediately take your mother out of the city to avoid trouble, I will stay here to watch the house, if the dog official brings someone to capture you, I will kill him with a sword, for the second brother, you get rid of this scourge, okay, you go and clean up and prepare!"
Looking at Xu Fu's face urging himself, Xu Kang suddenly felt warm in his heart.
"Although Xu Fu is a little reckless, he is still quite reliable at the critical moment!"
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, and then waved his hand lightly towards Xu Fu.
"Brother, don't panic, the matter is not as serious as you think, although the teacher offended the eunuchs at the beginning, but now these people are either dead, or they have been dismissed and exiled, and the rest are insignificant little minions who can't make big waves."
"What? Are you telling the truth? Hearing his words, Xu Fu's eyes widened again, "This matter is very important, but it's not a joke!" ”
"I'm really not kidding!"
Seeing Xu Fu's look of disbelief, Xu Kang could only shake his head helplessly, and then explained to him carefully.
"At the beginning, the teacher offended Wang Fu, but this person has been pulled off the horse by Yang Biao and Yang Qiu, and has been dead for four or five years, and now the ten permanent servants in power are headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, both of whom are greedy for money, I have my own way to deal with it, and my brother doesn't need to worry about it."
"But ......"
Xu Fu seemed to be about to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Xu Kang raising his hand.
"Okay, brother, you don't need to say more, hurry up and take the two carpenters you bought to build wooden boxes, and quickly build the hundred wooden boxes I want, otherwise I will go and tell my mother that you are causing trouble again, and then you will see if she can spare you!"
Xu Fu: "╭(°A°')╮"
Don't play like this!
For Xu Fu, Xu is his biggest nemesis, and when he was threatened by Xu Kang, he immediately obediently obeyed and went out with two carpenters.
After he went out, Xu Kang let out a long sigh of exhaustion, and then rubbed his stomach.
"Ma Dan, I didn't eat enough just now, and now I'm hungry after such a show, if only I could make my own bread like the mage in the game."
Originally, he was just thinking about it, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as his idea came out, his two hands were raised uncontrollably, and the palms of his palms glowed slightly.
About three seconds later, a piece of bread with a sweet smell and a water bag of unknown material appeared in his palm.
At the same time, the information of these two items also appeared in his mind.
[Magic Bread]: A bread made of magic, eating one can meet the consumption of adults for a day, the bread is rich in all the nutrients needed by the human body, and has a certain blood tonic function, which can speed up the recovery of the injured.
Remarks: Magical creations, never decay, produced by the Master, must be a fine product.
[Magic Fresh Water]: Fresh water made of magic, a bag can meet the consumption of adults for a day, the water is rich in all the trace elements and minerals required by the human body, and has a certain function of replenishing qi and nourishing the mind, which can relieve fatigue and relieve sleepiness.
Magical creations will never be corrupted, and they must be high-quality products.
Looking at these two things in his hand, Xu Kang's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's ...... Water and bread from Mt. Yamaguchi? Could it be that my previous dream was real? Did I really gain the skills of the Warcraft Mage? ”
