Mi Zhu intended to curry favor with Yan Shao, in order to have one more way out in this troubled world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And Yan Shao is seeking the huge family property of the Mi family, not to mention forcible grabbing, but being a backer for others is also to charge a benefit fee, right? To put it mildly, it can also be called investment promotion.

The two sides can be described as hitting it off in this matter, which is a bit of a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

"But my lord, this Mi family is indeed too rich, I haven't seen anything richer than this when I was in Linzi..."

In fact, it is not only Guan Hai, but also other people. It's not surprising that most of Yan Shao's subordinates are from poor backgrounds, such as Guan Hai and Zhao Yun are all flat-headed people, Gan Ning is a water thief, and even Li Ru is from a poor family, otherwise he would not be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.

is different from before, since following Yan Shao, Guan Hai's status can be said to be rising. As the general who has followed Yan Shao for the longest time, Guan Hai's ability may only be ordinary under Yan Shao's account, but he is the most trusted by Yan Shao, and he is also rewarded countless times on weekdays. has long accumulated a huge family business, and even has several wives and concubines, and not long ago one of the concubines gave birth to a big fat boy for him.

And Guan Hai's mansion is also very good, at least there is nothing wrong with the ordinary small family, and the families of Linzi and Beihai often invite him, and now Guan Hai is no longer the mud leg of the past, and his vision is much higher.

But that's the case, Guan Hai has never seen a mansion more luxurious than the Mi family in these two cities...

As for Zhao Yun and Gan Ning? Zhao Yun is okay, he still remains calm, but Gan Ning's eyes are rolling, if he puts it on hold, I'm afraid he has already begun to think about whether to do his mother's vote...

"It's not surprising, the richest man in Xuzhou, if he lives poorly, it will make people feel suspicious..."If there is anyone else who can remain calm at the scene, I am afraid that only Li Ru is it.

The Mi family is indeed rich, and there is no richer than the Mi family in the whole Xuzhou. But no matter how rich the Mi family is, it is impossible to be richer than the Son of Heaven. No matter how big the Mi family is, it can't be bigger than the palace, right?

When he followed Dong Zhuo back then, the palace was no different from Li Ru's home, and he could enter and leave at will. To say a big disrespectful word, when Dong Zhuo occupied the Beijing Division, Li Ru also sat on the dragon chair, to be honest, it was nothing remarkable, in Li Ru's opinion, he was not comfortable kneeling and sitting.

Of course, Li Ru didn't tell anyone about this, including his father-in-law Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, with Dong Zhuo's temper, he knew about it, and he would have already had suspicion of Li Ru in his heart.

"If Yan Shao can get the support of the Mi family, with the financial resources of the Mi family, he can completely help Yan Shao support all the expenses needed for more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so that a lot of pressure on Qingzhou can be relieved..."

"If Yan Shao's relationship with the Mi family is one step closer, it shouldn't be difficult to have more support..."

At present, Yan Shao has not yet let Li Ru sincerely serve as the lord, but on the premise of revenge, he is willing to do everything to help.

Just when everyone was still touring in the courtyard of the Mi family, someone had already walked over quickly and said respectfully.

"Envoys, generals, my master has invited you over for a banquet..."

"Good!" To be honest, Yan Shao really has no interest in the food of this era, not that the chefs of this era are too poor. It's just that in terms of condiments and other aspects, it does have great shortcomings.

You must know that in this era, there is not even monosodium glutamate, how torturous it is for a person like Yan Shao who has an extreme love for food.

However, the wine banquet is also the best way to shorten the distance between the two sides. Yan Shao is not very repulsive about this, not to mention that the food is gone, the drinks are still not bad, at least the wine of this era is quite good. Absolutely natural, without adding any preservatives, and there is no need to worry about pesticides.

At the banquet, Yan Shao just looked at Mi Zhu's long sleeves fluttering, mingling with many generals under his account.

I have to say that Mi Zhu's talent is indeed very powerful, and it is no wonder that under his management, the Mi family has been able to develop and grow to this extent. It's more difficult for Gan Ning to have a character, and he also has a great impression of Mi Zhu.

As for Yan Shao, while trying to get closer to Mi Zhu, more attention was focused on the wine provided by the Mi family.

As the richest man in Xuzhou, the Mi family's collection in this regard is not comparable to Yan Shao. Compared with the Mi family, which has accumulated for hundreds of years, Yan Shao's family background is nothing, and he is not even a nouveau riche―――――― but this era is not an era of wealth accumulation, but an era of competition for strength, and they are really far from Yan Shao in this regard.

This is also why no matter how big a family is, when they encounter princes like Yan Shao and Sun Ce, they also need to admit it. The fate of not admitting cowardice is like the Jiangdong family.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"This wine is really good..."Raising the luminous glass in his hand, he shook it slightly, and Yan Shao couldn't help but admire.

As a small ordinary person in his previous life, not to mention Yan Shao, he didn't like to drink much in the first place. I just like to drink it, and what I can get into contact with is usually just ordinary wine, and I can't taste it at all. At this level, this is really the first time he has come into contact with it.

At this time, Mi Zhu was talking with Gan Ning about the Yangtze River, as a business-oriented family, the Mi family's business scope also involved the waters of the Yangtze River. It's just that the scope of the coverage is not very wide, and it is only slightly involved.

However, considering that the Jiangdong and Jingzhou regions were relatively stable during this period, Mi Zhu did have the idea of increasing the trade routes there. Considering that Gan Ning is also a local snake in the waters of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Mi Zhu naturally wants to ask him about the situation―――――― at least ask about the water thieves there who are more difficult to deal with, how to avoid them, and whether they can play the banner of Gan Ning when necessary.

The name of the Jinfan thief is still very useful in Jingzhou.

Gan Ning's personality is also very special, for those who can afford him, he can put his heart and soul into it, and for those who look down on him, he will rob his whole family. Mi Zhu gave face so much, and Gan Ning was not polite, and told everything he knew about Jingzhou. Of course, considering Gan Ning's profession, there are not many useful ones, but Mi Zhu is not an ordinary person, and it is very simple to analyze the content that is useful to him.

However, when Mi Zhu talked to Gan Ning, he didn't forget to pay attention to Yan Shao's side, after all, Yan Shao was the real guest for the Mi family, and Gan Ning and the others were just incidental. Hearing Yan Shao say this, Mi Zhu hurriedly spoke.

"The envoy has a good eye, this is a fine wine purchased from the Western Regions, and it has been treasured in my home for at least thirteen years. Over the years, the trade routes of the Western Regions have been blocked, and it is difficult to obtain this kind of wine from the merchants of the Western Regions, and the wine in my house will only be taken out when entertaining VIPs..."

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, and the Rebellion of Dong Zhuo all greatly hindered the famous Silk Road. In particular, the trade route with the Western Regions has a great problem.

Over the years, there have been few goods from the Western Regions, especially luxury goods such as wine.

The Mi family also got some more than ten years ago, when the Silk Road was still relatively smooth, and then there was a problem with the route, so they hid the wine, and only took it out when entertaining VIPs. For today's Mi family, Yan Shao is the biggest guest.

Of course, Yan Shao heard Mi Zhu's hidden meaning clearly, and Yan Shao also understood Mi Zhu's gestures.

But...

Yan Shao drank wine, but others were not, especially boozes like Gan Ning or Guan Hai, and it was impossible to expect them to understand that tasting this stuff. Mi Zhu also knew that these people would not like wine, and they brought some spirits, and the room was full of alcohol.

I don't know why, Yan Shao's least favorite thing is this kind of taste. It was nothing before in etiquette, but as it became more and more intense, Yan Shao couldn't stand it anymore, and he retired in front of everyone.

Anyway, Mi Zhu, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun chatted happily when they arrived, and Yan Shao also wanted to go out to breathe.

Gan Ning and the others knew Yan Shao's habit very well, although they were a little helpless about their own father-in-law not liking to drink alcohol, but as a subordinate, could they still force their father-in-law to stay?

And...

Yan Shao doesn't like to drink, Gan Ning and the others know it, and they should pay attention to it even when they drink, it can't be called a free drink at all. To put it offensively, if Yan Shao left, they might have drunk more happily, so they happily sent Yan Shao off one by one.

"You guys..."Looking at these people under him, how could Yan Shao not know what they were thinking, he smiled helplessly, but he didn't say anything. Just carrying a bottle of wine from the side, plus a glass, is about to go out to get some air.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

After Yan Shao left, the atmosphere in the hall was obviously much more lively. Especially Gan Ning and Guan Hai, the two drunkards, the wine they drink needs to be calculated with an altar. I don't know how their bodies grow, and so much wine can be stored in them.

Glancing back, Yan Shao smiled bitterly.

In fact, he is very aware of the characteristics of his character, in the eyes of ordinary people, Yan Shao is indeed a corporal of Lixian, but this is because he has crossed over, and he does not have that class view, and treats everyone equally, rather than looking down on him because of someone's background like people in this era. Perhaps this kind of instinctive behavior is nothing in Yan Shao's opinion, but it is completely unimaginable for people in this era, which also makes many soldiers from poor backgrounds in the Qingzhou Army loyal to him.

Because only under his command, these people with no background can have the possibility of getting ahead, if they are replaced by other princes...

In addition to these, Yan Shao's personality has a relatively big flaw, which is inherited from his previous life, that is, he is not good at socializing. If you expect him to warm up at an ordinary banquet, it is basically unlikely.

It's already good that there is no cold scene, but fortunately, with Yan Shao's current status, there is no need to deliberately please anyone.

"Speaking of which, this wine is really delicious..."Carrying the bottle, he poured himself a glass, and Yan Shao walked slowly in the courtyard.

For him, it is good to be alone in this environment, at least to get a moment of peace. And this is for Yan Shao today...

Well, it doesn't seem to be a particularly rare thing.

After all, there is little nightlife in this era, and there is almost nothing to do every night except for doing some things that I love to do, and I go to bed early. It is only when there is a war or something particularly urgent that sleeps all nights happen―――――― as I said before, the real night is a little different from what most people imagine.

The city we live in has countless artificial light sources, so we can see our surroundings even in the middle of the night, as long as there are no symptoms such as night blindness.

However, in ancient times, it was different, the night without artificial light sources was like some wilderness, and there may not be anything during the day, but if it is really late at night, you will find that the surroundings are really dark to the point where you can't see your fingers.

It is no wonder why after being attacked by night in ancient times, it caused great chaos. Because even if the people near you are just standing a little farther away from you, you can't see which side the other party is, in this case, you can only think that everyone in the vicinity is your enemy, and you can't calm down at all.

"Okay, let's just sit here for a while..."After walking for a while, and coming across a fairly good corridor, Yan Shao found a place to sit down in the corridor, and then poured himself a full glass, and was not in a hurry to drink, just took a sip...

At this moment, he had a lot of things on his mind, including the war that was currently going on, and a series of other things.

The situation in Qingzhou doesn't need him to worry about for the time being, there are Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and others in charge. It is completely possible to isolate Yuan Shao from Qingzhou, not to mention that now that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are attacking each other, I am afraid that there is no effort to control Yan Shao.

The current situation is a bit of a headache, Cao Cao is more willful than Yan Shao imagined, even in the current situation, he has no intention of retreating.

Yan Shao is so afraid that he won't be afraid of Cao Cao, but it's not a matter of staying in Xuzhou all the time...

"I don't know what the situation is on Lu Bu's side, and whether the person sent by Tao Qian said that the flying general was moved. If you can talk about him, everything will be simple, and if there is a loss in the rear, Cao Cao will not be able to sit still no matter what..."

Just when Yan Shao was drinking wine in small sips and thinking about things by the way, some movement suddenly appeared not far away, attracting Yan Shao's attention.

It's no wonder that no matter who hears any movement in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they will be vigilant, this is what Yan Shao has experienced over the years, if he first came, I'm afraid he would already feel a little creepy...

Yan Shao slowly turned his head in the direction where the voice came from, and his expression became vigilant.

He didn't think it would be a ghost or something, he had traveled over the past for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of corpses and mountains of blood, but ghosts? To be honest, there are indeed a lot of pretending to be ghosts, but he has hardly seen any real ghosts.

What he was really worried about was this voice, could it be some kind of bad man?

The Han Dynasty was an era when assassins were prevalent, and it is unknown how many heroes died at the hands of assassins. Yan Shaoke doesn't plan to fill in his name on this list. Even if this is the Mi family, who can guarantee that no Assassins will get involved?

Considering his bad relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at this stage, it didn't seem very strange that there were one or two assassins.

However, just as he adjusted his body movements to a posture that was easy to burst, he found that the one walking from the corner in the distance was just a petite maid...

This discovery made Yan Shao breathe a sigh of relief and felt a little strange.

This corner can be said to be quite secluded, and few people will come here, which is also one of the reasons why Yan Shao chose to sneak around here, but now a maid came over...

Thinking of this, when the maid was about to pass by him, Yan Shao suddenly spoke.

"What are you doing here?"

The maid was walking along the path, and she didn't seem to expect that there would be a person sitting in the corner, and she was suddenly frightened and froze. I don't know how long it took, before I slowly turned my neck to look in Yan Shao's direction.

I have to say that in such a dark and rumbling environment, it is indeed very eerie to see a person sitting there. However, after confirming that Yan Shao was not a ghost, the maid was relieved.

With the starlight in the sky, Yan Shao could clearly recognize that this was the girl he saw not long ago...

"This is really fateful, I was still thinking about who the girl hiding on the city wall was, but I didn't expect you to be the maid of the Mi family..."Straightening up, Yan Shao said with a smile.

"You are?" Looking at Yan Shao, the maid also faintly felt a little familiar.

Just as the two were talking, in the direction of Yanzhou, while Cao Cao ignited the flames of war in other states and counties, his lair was also ignited...

"Take it!" Looking at the city in front of him, Lu Bu said coldly.
