And just like Liu Xin is ready to give Zhou Yi a "life", as long as he knows how Zhou Yi died, Liu Xin can "extend his life" for Zhou Yi in a targeted manner, and Yuan Cheng is the same, Liu Xin feels that as long as Yuan Cheng is not really dead, then he still has the opportunity to "extend his life" for Yuan Cheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, Liu Xin is now beginning to have some suspicions, Yuan Cheng may have died in the Yuan family's internal fighting, after all, looking at Yuan Cheng now, he is seeking to deal with his brother Yuan Feng as an outsider, which shows that Yuan Cheng is still an ambitious man, and he is bound to have a conflict with Yuan Feng.

And in terms of the current situation, Yuan Cheng is undoubtedly the disadvantaged side, if Yuan Feng really knows that Yuan Cheng has an idea about the position under his ass, I'm afraid this thing will be fun, even if Yuan Cheng is "killed early", it is also a possible thing.

Therefore, Liu Xin sighed, pretended to be very embarrassed and said to Yuan Cheng: "Uncle Yuan, this method will definitely exist, but I'll tell you so, the success rate of this method is basically five or five, this method has half the chance of success, but there is also half of the probability of failure, Uncle Yuan, you can naturally live a little longer, but if you fail, then you are likely to die earlier, you know what I mean." ”

Yuan Cheng nodded thoughtfully, although Liu Xin said so much, Yuan Cheng also knew that there was actually only one central idea, that is, the success rate of Liu Xin's method of continuing life was only fifty percent, and if it failed, then he could only die early.

The higher the status, the more afraid of death, although this sentence is not 100% correct, but Liu Xin feels that the correctness of this sentence has reached more than 80%, and Yuan Cheng is not the remaining 20%, after all, Yuan Cheng has just shown the performance of a person who is afraid of death when he hears that his time is short.

And now, Yuan Cheng is naturally struggling with the 50% success rate, because in Yuan Cheng's opinion, the 50% success rate is too low, Yuan Cheng feels that his time is short, and now if he fails, he will not even have a chance to turn the tables, which makes Yuan Cheng dare not gamble at all.

Of course, if Liu Xin told Yuan Cheng that the success rate was more than 80 percent, Yuan Cheng might choose to agree to give it a try.

Liu Xin saw that Yuan Cheng looked entangled, so he didn't rush to urge Yuan Cheng, after all, what Liu Xin needed was a Yuan Cheng who had made up his mind, not a Yuan Cheng who was so timid now, after all, Liu Xin gave Yuan Cheng the next way to continue his life, but he didn't want to be dragged down by Yuan Cheng.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Cheng finally spoke: "Immortal Master Liu, I want to ask you a very important question, if I don't continue my life. How long will you live, a year, or two years? I hope that Immortal Master Liu can give me a rough range. ”

Liu Xin smiled, Yuan Cheng's performance was also expected by Liu Xin, so Liu Xin opened his mouth and said: "Okay, since Uncle Yuan you have said so, then I will tell you so, your lifespan is more than one year, less than three years, and I will not say anything more about the specific value, and the heavenly machine must not be revealed." ”

The reason why Liu Xin said that Yuan Cheng could live for three years was actually Liu Xin's nonsense here, but three years later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had already driven the crane west, and Dong Zhuo would come to Luoyang nine times out of ten, and according to the inertia of history, without Liu Xin's interference, Yuan Cheng should have passed away nine times out of ten, so Liu Xin gave Yuan Cheng a range of more than one year and less than three years.

After listening to Liu Xin's words, Yuan Cheng fell into contemplation again, and this time Yuan Cheng didn't think for long, and it only took a minute or two before making his own decision.

Yuan Cheng looked at Liu Xin and said seriously: "Thank you Immortal Master Liu for being able to tell me such important news, this great grace is unforgettable, but the method of continuing life in Immortal Master Liu's mouth is still very tangled, so I hope Immortal Master Liu can give me a period of time to think about it, I have no way to make a decision now." ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, it was reasonable for Yuan Cheng to make such a decision, after all, Liu Xin just said a few words casually, and Yuan Cheng couldn't trust Liu Xin so easily, so Yuan Cheng still needed more time to go back and think about it.

So Liu Xin saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stood up and said to Yuan Cheng: "Uncle Yuan, since this is the case, you should go back and think about it, and it is uncertain how long this king will leave Luoyang, so this king hopes that you can think clearly as soon as possible, and then give me an answer, so let's do this first, let's go back to the living room first." ”

Yuan Cheng nodded, sighed and said, "I know, here I thank you again Immortal Master Liu, but I also hope that Immortal Master Liu you can keep these things that happened today a secret, after all, it is best not to let others know about these things, otherwise things will be troublesome." ”

Liu Xin naturally understands this truth, not to mention that now that Liu Xin himself is also here to participate, it is naturally impossible to casually talk about these things, not to mention that Liu Xin cannot get any benefits from these things now.

Liu Xin does not deny that he is a person who pursues interests, after all, Liu Xin is not the kind of good person who will give up his interests to help others.

Liu Xin and Yuan Cheng returned to the living room, and then chatted with Yuan Shao for a while, Yuan Cheng's absent-minded appearance aroused Yuan Shao's suspicions, but Yuan Cheng was Yuan Shao's uncle after all, and his identity and status were there, so Yuan Shao didn't dare to ask Yuan Cheng what happened.

After a while, Yuan Cheng finally didn't look absent-minded, as if he had made a decision, but Yuan Cheng still looked preoccupied.

Liu Xin saw all this in his eyes, but Liu Xin still no longer expressed his opinion on this, and only waited for Yuan Cheng to make his own decision.

At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Xin looked at the sky, and said to Yuan Cheng: "Uncle Yuan, second brother, it's time for lunch now, you can stay here today and have lunch." ”

Yuan Cheng also came back to his senses at this time, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Thank you Immortal Master Liu for the invitation, but I have already made an appointment with a few friends to have lunch together, so I'd better leave first." ”

Yuan Cheng's words looked like he had found an excuse to leave, but Liu Xin didn't want to leave Yuan Cheng for lunch together, after all, the generation gap between Yuan Cheng and himself was still quite big, and Liu Xin still had some things to ask Yuan Shao.

So Liu Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I won't keep Uncle Yuan, but the second brother, you have to stay and accompany the eldest brother to have a meal, and the second brother has to do me another favor in the afternoon, after all, the third brother did me a big favor this morning, and you can't run away with the second brother." ”

Yuan Shao also nodded with a smile, and said, "Big brother, I know, I will definitely do a good job this afternoon, you can rest assured." ”

So, Liu Xin first sent Yuan Cheng away with Yuan Shao, and then met Su Jia at the door who came back to cook.

After all, Su Jia is the only chef under Liu Xin, and Liu Xin can't eat other food now, so Su Jia is busy with things in Chunyi Building, so he hurried back to cook lunch for Liu Xin.

So, Liu Xin called Cao Cao and the others at the gate of the compound back, after all, now it's time for dinner, and those who came to give gifts are also sensible, and now no one comes to Liu Xin to eat, so Cao Cao and the others finally have time to rest.

Liu Xin took Cao Cao and the others back to the living room, while Su Jia went to the kitchen in the inner courtyard first to start cooking.

Liu Xin, who returned to the living room, first asked about Cao Ang's apprenticeship with Jiang Wei, "Boyo, I have found a good apprentice for you, my third brother's son Cao Ang is also my righteous son, I think Ang'er should be able to become a handsome man in both civil and military affairs in the future, so I let Ang'er come to worship you as a teacher, I hope Boyo you can teach Ang'er well, after all, I think Boyo you are the most suitable candidate to be Ang'er's master." ”

Jiang Wei nodded with a smile, and said: "Lord, I understand, in fact, Brother Meng De came to me this morning to talk about this matter, and I have also met my apprentice, Ang'er, this kid's physical fitness is very good, and he is also very clever, he is definitely a manufacturable material, I will definitely teach Ang'er well." ”

Liu Xin nodded, it would be a good thing for Jiang Wei to be able to accept Cao Ang as an apprentice, after all, Liu Xin had thought about this matter in the morning, in case Jiang Wei didn't look down on Cao Ang's qualifications and didn't want to be Cao Ang's master, it would be a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, Cao Ang is also competitive and has been recognized by Jiang Wei.

And Cao Cao also smiled and patted his son sitting next to him and said happily: "Brother Boyo can personally teach his son in the next, and he is very relieved to be in the next, after all, Brother Boyo is a capable person who is both civil and military, and the dog can reach half of the level of Brother Boyo, so thank God for it, so I hope that the dog can serve Brother Boyo, first, you can do the gift of a disciple, and secondly, the dog can better learn the skills of Brother Boyo, Brother Boyo, what do you think of this?" ”

Jiang Wei nodded, but said with some doubts: "I don't have any opinions, but Brother Meng De, you can think about it, Ang'er is still young now, usually just let Ang'er follow me to study and practice martial arts, there is no need to let Ang'er always be by my side, after all, Ang'er may also miss his family." ”

Cao Cao smiled, touched Cao Ang's head and said: "Ang'er is not a child now, it's time to learn to be independent, not to mention that I basically come to the compound every day to see Ang'er, but Ang'er's mother may blame me, but this is my problem, you don't have to worry." ”

Liu Xin also nodded at this time, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you are right, it's time for Ang'er to learn to be independent, after all, under the protection of her parents, it is impossible for Ang'er to become a man, but for the sake of the third brother, you will not be complained about by your younger siblings, I think you can do this, you send Ang'er to me every morning, let Ang'er study and practice martial arts with Boyo, and wait until the evening, third brother, you will take Ang'er home with you, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Liu Xin's suggestion is very good, Cao Cao nodded hurriedly, because Cao Cao's wife, who is now Cao Ang's adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, is a gentle but somewhat stubborn woman, and she also loves Cao Ang very much, so Cao Cao knows that if he really wants Cao Ang to study and practice martial arts with Jiang Wei all the time, so that Mrs. Ding can't see Cao Ang for a while, Mrs. Ding will definitely be unhappy, and then Cao Cao feels that he is going to be in trouble.

Therefore, Liu Xin's suggestion was exactly in line with Cao Cao's requirements, so Cao Cao immediately agreed to this suggestion, and Cao Ang officially became Jiang Wei's disciple, and came to Liu Xin's compound every day to "go to school", and the "famous teacher" Jiang Wei conducted one-on-one teaching.

After solving the problem of Cao Ang's apprenticeship, Liu Xin changed his mind and began to care about how many people came to give gifts this morning, and most importantly, how many gifts he received this morning and how much they were worth in total.

As today's bookkeeper, Zhang Song took out a blank piece of paper, which recorded who came to give Liu Xin a gift this morning, what the gift was, and the approximate estimated value of the gift.

Liu Xin turned this list of gifts and found that in this morning, there were already twenty-one groups of people who came to give gifts to themselves, the most generous of which was naturally Emperor Han Ling's, who gave himself a total of gifts worth more than 500,000 taels of gold, but Liu Xin "bribed" Emperor Han Ling yesterday The value is probably more than 10 million taels of gold, so in the end it is still Liu Xin's "blood loss".

As for the second place, it is naturally the Yuan family, the Yuan family sent a gift worth more than 20,000 taels of gold, which can be described as generous, after all, Liu Xin's relationship with the Yuan family is like that now.

As for the other gift givers, they are basically some small families, or some middle and high-ranking officials in Luoyang City, and most of the gifts are worth about one or two thousand taels of gold, which is a little worthless compared to the gifts given by Emperor Han Ling and the Yuan family.
