Chapter 36: Self-hype
"Well done!"
Ding Xiao nodded with great satisfaction, and then ordered, "I need you to bring your people and help me do something." However, this is a very secret matter, and must be done in secret, so you must command it, and even if you are suspected, you must not admit that I taught you to do it. ”
"Major General, rest assured! Even if we die, we will never reveal your identity! Dian Wei Zhengse.
"Dead?"
Ding Xiao was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "I am reluctant to let you die, don't worry, there is not the slightest danger in this matter." ”
"Didn't the Major General let us rob the prison?" Dian Wei wondered.
"Hell robbery? Haha, who said I was going to rob prison? ”
Ding Xiao asked with a smile.
"But didn't you say let me explore the terrain next to the prison?" Dian Wei looked puzzled, "And let me go to find some dead soldiers......"
"Brother Dian, I think you misunderstood."
Ding Xiao finally understood Dian Wei's doubts, so he explained so far, "Even if you really want to rob the prison, it will definitely not be now." ”
In fact, he did have the idea of robbing the prison, because there was a very important advisor to him who would be imprisoned, but that would not happen until Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and began to persecute Zhongliang, and it was still a while before now.
But this matter is a big crime of losing his head, and he doesn't need to tell Dian Wei for the time being, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Alright, let's get down to business. I'm looking for you this time to get you to spread the word. That's how you ......"
In order to quickly promote himself, Ding Xiao used the "self-hype" of later generations here, and carefully taught Dian Wei the specific steps.
"I see!"
At the same time that Dian Wei suddenly realized, his expression also became a little strange.
He didn't expect that what the other party wanted him to do was just such a trivial matter!
This made him suddenly feel like he was killing chickens with a knife, and then patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, young general, within three days, this news will spread all over the capital, and everyone knows about it!" ”
"Don't!"
Ding Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "Actually, you don't need to be so fast, if this matter spreads too quickly, it will seem a bit fake!" Just follow the steps I said! ”
"Uh...... All right. ”
Dian Wei nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll let them go around for tea." ”
"If you can promise that you won't drink and make mistakes, you can go to the restaurant." Ding Xiao added with a smile.
In this era, the transmission of news mainly depends on inns, restaurants, teahouses, etc., this kind of place with a large flow of people, considering that the cost of going to the teahouse is the lowest, Ding Xiao plans to let Dian Wei take people to different tea houses to squat, and slowly spread the news.
But at this moment, noticing Dian Wei's somewhat embarrassed expression, he suddenly realized that he had ignored one point before, that is, Dian Wei and the others were all from martial arts, and they couldn't sit still in the teahouse at all!
"The money for wine and meat is all mine."
"Really? That's great! ”
Dian Wei was overjoyed.
You must know that when Ding Yuan recruited him, one of the conditions he gave was "to drink wine and eat meat every day", because he was very fond of wine and food, and the amount of food was more than twice that of others, so he attached great importance to it.
And now, if it were a restaurant, it wouldn't matter if he sat in it all day.
"Thank you, Major General!" He hurriedly thanked him.
"But you must remember that this matter must be kept secret, and no one should know that you are my people."
In fact, Dian Wei and the others are all fresh faces, and they are not as famous as Ding Xiao, and it is difficult for people to find out their identities, and they are afraid that these people will leak their mouths, so he will emphasize again and again, "So you have to promise me that you must restrain your subordinates, and you must not get drunk and talk nonsense." Take a step back and say, even if someone says something on the spot, you will never admit it afterwards. ”
"Don't worry, the young general, the last general has written it down, and I won't admit it if I kill him! I'm going to take people out for a drink, no, to spread the word! ”
After Dian Wei agreed, he took people to the restaurant again, regardless of the fact that he had already eaten dinner.
"Heh, that's too easy to satisfy, isn't it?"
After Dian Wei left, Ding Xiao smiled.
Like Dian Wei, this kind of talent, simple and simple, loyal and reliable, is very easy to use, no matter who it is, it will be used as a cronie.
This made him feel like he had picked up a treasure, and he couldn't help but sigh again, "Father really gave me a big gift!" ”
……
……
In the next few days, Ding Xiao continued to gather literati every day to participate in gatherings of various natures as usual, and everything seemed to be calm.
But all kinds of legends about him began to spread slowly from all corners of the capital.
These legends are varied, both true and false, including his punishment of traitors in Hanoi, as well as all kinds of small things that helped others after coming to Jingshi, and even some magical performances when he was a child.
Along with these legends, his name of "Little Taigong" has gradually become well-known.
"Have you heard? And there is a 'little princess' in the state, it's just a god? It's in the capital right now! ”
"Tell me quickly, what little princess? What a magic method? ”
"You don't know?! Now everyone is telling about it...... Everyone says that he is the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, and he is like a god! ”
"So powerful?"
"More than that. I heard that he knew astronomy and geography, and at the age of eight he predicted that the world would be in turmoil, and less than a year later, the world began to make trouble. ”
"What is this! I heard that when the little prince was ten years old, he predicted that after the death of the first emperor, the traitorous minister Jian Shuo would rebel, and finally die in the hands of the great general He Jin. ”
"You're all right! However, I also heard that Xiao Taigong is not only clever, but also very enthusiastic, and has helped many people solve problems. ”
Conversations like this continue to take place in all corners of the capital.
Because the common people of this era live a very hard life, there are basically no entertainment activities, and many people like to talk about some strange things after tea and dinner.
So later, Dian Wei and others basically didn't need to spread the news, and the people spontaneously spread these stories, and the farther and farther, the more evil they became.
In the end, the little story made up by Ding Xiao has long been rumored beyond recognition, and it is almost like a myth and legend.
However, no matter how the story is changed, the reputation of "Little Taigong Ding Xiao" is really an instant hit, and it has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the people.
With the establishment of his reputation, Ding Xiao found that his status in the circle of scholars suddenly improved a lot, and the scribes around him gradually increased, and his grade also improved a lot.
Many of them came here and wanted to ask him to help solve some troubles.
And that's not all.
I don't know when it started, Ding Xiao's popular value also began to grow rapidly, and more and more, faster and faster, there is an unstoppable momentum!
Finally, on this morning, the moment he just opened his eyes, a message came from the system, congratulating him on breaking through his cultivation.
Habitat Triple!
