Chapter 17 Persuading Cheng Yu
At this time, Cheng Yu didn't know Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun recognized him at a glance, although he was very depressed at this time, not like the confident look that pointed out the country in his memory.
The reason why Cao Cao was able to succeed was of course because of the aggregation of many reasons, but he definitely couldn't leave the credit of Cheng Yu's assistance.
Cheng Yu's ability, Wen Ke can govern the country and stabilize the people's hearts, and Wu can sweep the world, Cheng Yu's martial arts does not refer to his personal martial arts, but to say that his military ability to arrange troops and send troops is very outstanding.
But even the chosen one has its troughs. Cheng Yu only started his career after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but before that he was unknown.
It's not that he doesn't want to be famous, it's that he has ambitions and talents, and he also has the ambition to serve the court, but he has no choice but to devote himself to it, and he is down.
A gentleman can deceive him, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family, and then he is a talented person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he also wants to apply what he has learned to benefit one party, and he will also shine on the lintel.
Not to mention those who have a pursuit of fame and fortune.
Seeing Cheng Yu's current appearance, Zhao Yun increased the odds of being able to win Cheng Yu by a few points in his heart.
According to what he learned from rumors, Cheng Yu has been in Zhending for more than half a month. The reason why he traveled a long distance from Yanzhou East County to Changshan Zhending was to come to his brother.
Cheng Yu's brother is the chief secretary appointed by Zhao Kang, the new king of Zhending Mansion, who is honest and kind, and has a sense of justice, so he has a dislike for Zhao Fan, but Zhao Fan is Zhao Kang's own brother, so he can't do anything with him.
County Cheng Hanqu is the top boss of Cheng Yu's brother, in order to please Zhao Fan, he put on a lot of small shoes, and there are few credible people around him, so he wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Cheng Yu and summoned him to help him.
Cheng Yu didn't mix very well in his hometown, and after receiving the letter from his brother, he readily agreed, and the two hit it off.
But when he traveled long distances from Yanzhou East County day and night to Zhenping, he suddenly heard the bad news that his clan brother had died, and he wanted to ask Zhao Kang to find out the cause of his brother's death, so that he could return the clan brother to justice, but he couldn't even see Zhao Kang's face and was blocked by the county Cheng Hanqu.
After doing this several times, in the end, the impatient Han Qu ordered the official to beat Cheng Yu out of the yamen.
That night, Cheng Yu received an anonymous secret letter, from which he learned that the person who killed his brother was none other than Han Qu and Zhao Fan.
Since then, Cheng Yu has been in a daze, going in and out of restaurants, and living drunk and dreaming of death all day long to escape the cruel reality. It is not only for the clan brother who died tragically, but also for the fate of his own talent and ambition.
Zhao Yun came straight to Cheng Yu's table with two dishes, and Gao Shun and the three followed.
Zhao Yun saw that although Cheng Yu had noticed himself and the others, he didn't pay attention to himself, so he had to ask, "Excuse me, can we sit here?" ”
Cheng Yu held the wine glass and looked around the hall with slightly drunk eyes, although there were already many people sitting at this time, there were still a lot of vacant seats.
retracted his gaze and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't expect the uninvited guest in front of him to kneel down on his own.
After Zhao Yun sat down, he deliberately placed the two plates of meat dishes on the tray in front of Cheng Yu and smiled at him.
Cheng Yu didn't know what he meant, and asked suspiciously: "..... is this?" ”
Zhao Yunbian put the pot of 'Yuhuaxi' on the tray on the table, took an empty wine glass and put it in front of him, and replied, "This is your dish." ”
Although Cheng Yu had drunk a lot of wine, he was not drunk yet, remembered what dish he ordered, and confirmed: "This is not the dish I ordered." ”
Zhao Yun looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "But now these are your dishes, and there are still some good dishes that have not been done well, and they will be served later." ”
Cheng Yu felt very inexplicable: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to invite Mr. Zhongde to dinner, why does Mr. Zhongde refuse people so far away?"
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, is it Han Qu's person? Are they going to kill themselves? I just heard that Zhao Fan died violently last night, do they think this matter has something to do with them?
The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the more he became wary of Zhao Yun and his party, and only then did he begin to look at the burly Gao Shun and the three behind the guard boy.
Cheng Yu originally thought that the uninvited guests in front of him were just ordinary diners who wanted to share a table, because he didn't know them, but now that the other party can directly point out his identity, it seems that he is coming for himself.
Cheng Yu didn't panic and asked, "You and I know each other?" ”
Zhao Yun lifted the flask, poured himself a full glass of wine, took a sip, and replied: "I have never met," he said, and drank the remaining half of the cup in one gulp, and continued, "But I know you." ”
Cheng Yu was already half awake at this time, but he still couldn't understand the intention of the person in front of him, and said: "Don't say it clearly, what is the matter with me, you can just say it." ”
Zhao Yun understood that pretending to be mysterious might arouse Cheng Yu's disgust, so he got straight to the point: "Okay! Mr. Zhongde is really quick to talk, so I will get straight to the point. Saying that, Zhao Yun looked at Cheng Yu's eyes intently, and said solemnly, "Mr. Zhongde, I want to talk to you about business." ”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he realized that they were not here to arrest him, but he was interested: "I have no long-term things now, what can I do to buy and sell?" ”
Zhao Yun took Cheng Yu's empty cup, poured a full cup, and pushed it back in front of Cheng Yu, saying: "Mr. Zhongde is not arrogant, you still have the same, which is priceless, but you don't know it." As he spoke, he poured himself another glass.
The aroma of wine overflowed, behind Zhao Yun, Gao Shun was not good at drinking, and Liu Yin had strong self-control, but he couldn't hook Chen Jiang's wine worms and swallowed his saliva.
Cheng Yu paused for a moment and wondered, "Oh? I want to know what it is, I don't even know it. ”
Zhao Yun raised his glass to Cheng Yu and said, "I'm talking about you, sir!" After speaking, I drank it all, and another cup entered my stomach, feeling the flowing warmth, which was very comfortable.
"Hahaha, I don't know, I'm so valuable, I want to know how to do the business you said?"
Cheng Yu said with obvious mockery, he thought that the young man in front of him was here to play tricks on him. Thinking of his own experience during this time, he vented it through the strength of wine.
Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Zhongde may have misunderstood something, but he is sincere. ”
"I want to hire Mr. to do things for me, it only takes two months, and after two months, there are two routes that Mr. chooses by himself," Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to speak, Zhao Yun raised his hand to signal a moment, and continued, "First, after two months, Mr. Zhongde can choose to continue to do things for me." ”
"The second way, Mr. Yu Zhongde is even more advantageous, I know Mr. Ambition, as long as Mr. agrees to do things for me, after two months, I can help Mr. get what he wants, how about it?"
Cheng Yu took a sip of the glass of wine that Zhao Yun had poured for him before, and frowned: "Who are you?" Why do you know about me? And why is it that I am so confident that I can achieve my wish? ”
Zhao Yun realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he smiled and said: "This is indeed Zhao Mou's abruptness, it's not a secret, his surname is Zhao Mingyun, the word Zilong, and he is the younger brother of Zhao Feng, the owner of Zhaojiazhuang in Changshan," Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't have much reaction to his reported identity, Zhao Yun knew that it was time to throw a bombshell, "At the same time, I also have another identity, in terms of blood, I am the grandson of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty." ”
The grandson, who is the seventh grandson of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, is an authentic relative of the emperor, not to mention that Cheng Yu was shocked, and even the three of Gao Shun, who did not know, were moved when they heard it. Chen Jiang was the most unbearable, and he was even more excited and trembling.
"You ask me why I can help you, aside from the identity of the imperial prince, I have been in business in Zhaojiazhuang for many years, and I also have an industry in Beijing, and I am well-informed. Now Jingshi has an 'official office', which can buy and sell official positions, and Zhaojiazhuang has assets, so it is not a problem to donate an official and a half position for you. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yun reached out to touch his waist, took off the valuable Peiyu that he had carried with him for many years, and handed it to Cheng Yu, and said: "There is no basis for what I say, I will bet this warm jade that I have carried with me for many years to you, you should believe it this time, right?" ”
The box of gold that Zhao Yun brought, in addition to the fifty taels that he carried on his body, was crossed out, and the rest was handed over to Zhao Bo, and now the only thing that can be taken is this piece of warm jade.
Zhao Yun has his own plans, no matter which path Cheng Yu chooses, he will earn it. After two months, it is of course the best outcome to be able to continue to follow yourself.
Even if Cheng Yu chooses the second path to become an official, it doesn't matter, anyway, he has already been in contact with him, and if he can fulfill his long-cherished wish, Cheng Yu will miss his own good. In the future, the world will be in turmoil, and he will have a force, write a letter to Cheng Yu and summon him to help, he will have a great chance.
A gentleman is like jade, jade is like a person, and beautiful jade has been a symbol of wealth and happiness since ancient times. At the same time that people raise jade, jade also raises people, and from a piece of portable jade pendant, you can see a person's approximately.
Although Cheng Yu is now down, he is also a descendant of a famous family, belonging to the 'undefeated general' Cheng Buzhi when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his vision is naturally not bad, and he can see at a glance that this warm jade is the best, and the value is difficult to estimate, and at the same time, he can also 'see' a lot of things from this jade pendant.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Yu had already made a decision in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to give an answer to Zhao Yun, who was waiting.
Da-da-da-da! Knock knock!
But at this moment, the noise in the lobby on the first floor suddenly came up from the staircase, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, and there should be many people listening to the sound.
Everyone looked towards the staircase, and soon saw a group of officials running up with long knives.
only listened to the first person, and shouted: "The government is handling the case, and you are not allowed to leave the seat without authorization," after finishing speaking, he turned his head to several subordinates and commanded, "You, go here, you, go here, go there, come by myself, and interrogate me one by one." ”
"Yes!!"
The officials spoke in unison and took orders.
Zhao Yun recognized this person, who he 'saw' in the 'Yanju Pavilion' last night, that Zhao Fan's subordinate, named Li Ji's henchman.
Li Ji's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he went upstairs, he saw the best jade pendant in Cheng Yu's hand, so he walked straight to their table, but Zhao Yun was facing away from him, and he didn't recognize Zhao Yunlai.
Li Ji recognized Cheng Yu, in his opinion, a person in his thirties and forties was like a stunned young man, and for the sake of his brother's affairs, he dared to make trouble in front of the county lord. Now take this opportunity to get rid of him, so that he can redeem his merits, and he can also get a piece of good jade that looks like it is worth a lot of money, why not do it?
"Cheng Yu, you dare to appear here, we suspect that you have something to do with Lord Zhao's death, come with us honestly." Li Ji said, and reached out to grab the jade pendant in Cheng Yu's hand.
"Presumptuous!" At the same time as Zhao Yun scolded, Liu Yin seemed to have received his signal, and came to Li Ji's side with a dodge.
As soon as he grabbed it, the last hair came first, firmly clamping Li Ji's arm, Liu Yin then made a skill, dragging a belt, striding sideways, a spin body, a kick as fast as lightning, only to see Li Ji's hundred-and-ten-pound body fly out sideways, along with several subordinates behind him.
But fortunately, he was able to stop his body from being kicked away, but the injury was not light, and the corners of his mouth were already overflowing with blood.
Liu Yin also recognized Li Ji, it was one of Zhao Fan's five subordinates during the confrontation outside the city gate that day, although this kick did not kill the killer, but it also used a little force.
Encountering a heavy blow, Li Ji was so angry that he wanted to attack and instructed his subordinates to kill Liu Yin.
Zhao Yun got up at this time, turned around slowly, looked at Li Ji condescendingly and said, "Li Ji, do you recognize who I am?" ”
"Zhao Yun!! Oh no, Zhao... Zhao Gongzi. Li Ji was surprised to see Zhao Yun, screamed, and called Zhao Yun by his name, but then reacted and hurriedly changed his name to Gongzi.
Although he didn't know why Zhao Yun knew his name, he knew one thing, even his master Zhao Fan didn't dare to offend Zhao Yun when he was alive, and he couldn't afford to offend himself.
