"Bang bang bang, bang!" An unhurried knock on the door reverberated in Mi Zhu's mansion door.

"It's not dawning, who's knocking on the door! Really, don't knock on it! Wang San, the servant on the Mi Mansion, rubbed his somewhat sore eyes and walked towards the door of the mansion in a daze.

"Squeak~" Wang San opened the door, but what he saw was a young man wearing a Xuzhou sergeant's uniform outside the door.

"Eh, this military master, I don't know what you have to do in Mifu?" Wang Er knew that his master still had a bought idle position in Xuzhou City, and now Cao Ying's army slaughtered three county towns in Xuzhou, and a Xuzhou sergeant came to visit when this person was panicking, but it was very related to Cao Ying.

Sure enough, the sergeant clenched his fists and said: "I am a lieutenant colonel of the Xuzhou Army, and I am ordered by Tao Thorn Shi to inform Lord Mi of something urgent, and I hope to be introduced to you." ”

Who is Wang San? A servant of a big merchant! I have always been exchanged for other people's high-spirited calls, when did I receive such a courtesy today?

"Hahaha, this army, no, is a general. This general is too polite, my lord has just gotten up now, the general will follow me to the side hall for a while, and I will go to inform my lord to go! Come on, come on, come here, please. "Look at that Wang San's enthusiasm, the corners of his mouth are almost to the root of his ears.

The sergeant wearing Xuzhou armor smiled slightly, but without saying a word, he followed Wang San to the side hall and quietly waited for Mi Zhu to appear.

"What! The Tao Thorn sent a sergeant? Is there any urgent matter that will be sent at this time, could it be that Cao Ying hit Xiao Pei? Oh, what a good thing to do now! Mi Zhu simply freshened up in a panic, and then rushed to the side hall with hurried steps.

"Where is the messenger? Mi Zhu comes also. Did Cao Ying hit Xiao Pei? ”

Mi Zhu's official position in Xuzhou City is only a small official position, but the safety of Xuzhou is more important than some people in important positions, since he heard that Cao Ying slaughtered the innocent people in the three border counties that he captured, Mi Zhu hated the brutal Cao Jun to the core! But his insignificant official position was still rewarded by Tao Qian for his amazing assets, although he had the heart to serve Tao Qian, but he had been suppressed by the Chen family in Xuzhou. Now Tao Qian actually sent someone to his mansion to find him for the first time, and he was secretly worried in his heart if it was because Cao Ying had already hit the realm of Xiaopei.

"Definitely, Cao Ying just attacked Langya County a few days ago, even if he uses all kinds of means to conquer the city, it will take at least ten days before he can come to Xiaopei, so please don't worry too much." The sergeant said slowly and calmly, as if he didn't care about the safety of Xuzhou at all.

Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the unknown sergeant in Xuzhou in front of him to behave like this, but he became suspicious again: "Didn't you say that Tao Thorn Shi sent you to inform me of something important?" I am here now, and I ask the messenger to speak up. ”

Unexpectedly, the sergeant chuckled and said, "Tao Qian is too busy to take care of himself now, how could he think of you Mi Zhu?" If there is really anything important, the first person to discuss is also General Cao or Master Chen Gui, but it is definitely not you Mi Zhu. ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he immediately snapped the case: "Are you sent by Chen Gui to tease me?" Although I'm not a big person, I'm not a person who allows you bastards to bully me wantonly! Get the hell out of here!! ”

In the face of Mi Zhu's anger, the sergeant suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha, the people of Xuzhou say that the Chen family and the Cao family (Cao Bao's clan) are the real people in charge behind the scenes in Xuzhou. Hahahaha"

Mi Zhu reacted to this, sat back in his seat and said with a gloomy face: "Who did you shoot?" Is it Yuan Shu or Cao Ying? What is the purpose of coming here? If you don't make it clear today, it's easy to get in at the gate of this Mifu, hum! It's hard to get out!! ”

Fang Qiong took off the battle helmet on his head, and said with a smile while unloading the armor on his upper body: "Except for Yuan Shu and Cao Ying, can't I be sent by other princes?" ”

Mi Zhu sneered: "In addition to Cao Ying and Yuan Shu, is it still Hebei Yuan Shao or Luoyang Lu Bu?" It's ridiculous! Cao Ying's army is now overwhelming, and he sent some fine officials to buy off the officials in the city to prepare for him to attack Pengcheng after he said that he should join forces with the outside to capture Pengcheng. Yuan Shu has always been extremely greedy, and has long coveted the rich Xuzhou, although he has been pressing the army in Nanyang to confront a part of Lu Bu's army, but he is afraid that he will see Cao Ying, who is also an ally, send troops to Xuzhou, and greedily rely on himself to be a member of the Lu Alliance, and attack Xuzhou from the south road in the name of helping Cao Ying take revenge. In addition to these two princes, Xuzhou only has Qingzhou, but the friendship between Tao Thorn Shi and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai is very unusual, this matter is known to the world, even if Tian Kai does not come to the rescue of Xuzhou this time, he will definitely not do the thing that fell into the stone! ”

"Hehehe, he is worthy of being valued by my father-in-law, Lord Mi is really good. It's a pity," Fang Qiong shook his head with some regret.

"What a pity?" Mi Zhu was attracted by Fang Qiong's words.

"It's a pity that my lord is really not Yanzhou Cao Yinghuai Nan Yuan Shu, but it is Luoyang's hussar general Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is also!!" Fang Qiong was very proud to report the name of his father-in-law.

"Lu Bu?! How could it be him? Impossible! Although most of Cao Ying's soldiers and horses have invaded Xuzhou, but I heard that he recently lost the Tiger Prison Pass, and now Nanyang Yuan Shu has issued a document saying that he will never ally with Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao of Hebei has also begun to approach Huguan step by step with hundreds of thousands of troops, although there are tens of thousands of cavalry on both roads who are constantly attacking the grain road, but in the face of the absolute strength advantage of Er Yuan, what can the cavalry do? At this time, Lu Bu actually sent someone to Xuzhou, what did he think? ”

Mi Zhu never thought that the person in front of him was neither Cao Ying's envoy nor Yuan Shu's envoy, but Lu Bu's envoy who he had never thought about at all! Mi Zhu was very puzzled, he didn't know why Lu Bu would send someone to Xuzhou at such a time, and why he didn't go to Chen Gui and Cao Bao to find him.

"My father-in-law is well aware of Mr. Mi Zhu's talent, and he also knows that the two major families of the Chen family and the Cao family were secretly in power in Xuzhou. So my first purpose here this time was to recruit Mr. Mi Zhu on the military order of my lord.

I don't know if Mr. knows about the newly promulgated three-trial and six-ministry system in Luoyang, my lord said that as long as Mr. is willing to lead Xuzhou Mi to Luoyang, the lord will hand over the post of the Ministry of Commerce under the Ministry of Household to Mr. Although the Ministry of Commerce is not a particularly big official position, but it is definitely comparable to the previous Jiuqing level, and this position is a position that can give full play to Mr. talent, but it is definitely better than being a 'other family' in Xuzhou is better than ten million times. I don't know what Mr. thinks? Fang Qiong asked with a smile.

Mi Zhu was really moved now. Mi Zhu's family background is quite wealthy, and he can definitely be called the 'richest man' in Xuzhou, and even if you look at the whole world, Hebei Zhen and Chen Liuwei can be compared with his Mi family. But since Chen Liuwei's assets were widely dispersed to fund Cao Ying, and the Hebei Zhen family was also suppressed by Yuan Shao, the head of the world's merchants was vaguely in the Mi family's pocket.

But in these troubled times, what is the use of having inexhaustible money? As long as the people in power want to, he can requisition your things at will! If you dare to say half a word, hum, maybe one dark and windy night, your family will return to Huangquan! And the reason why the Xuzhou Mi clan was not suppressed and occupied by Tao Qian was all due to the two unsuccessful sons of Tao Qian's mansion. Since the two of them met Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen by chance, all of them have been shocked by Mi Zhen, and they all swore to take Mi Zhen as their own forbidden body!

And what makes Mi Zhu feel fortunate is that whether it is the eldest son Tao Ping with the support of the Cao family in Xuzhou, or the younger son Tao Zhi with the support of the Chen family in Xuzhou, the forces between them are basically evenly matched, knowing that now that Tao Qian is terminally ill, there is no decisive victory between them. And Mi Zhu has used these two losers all these years, not only did not let the Mi family fall, but made the Mi family's assets even larger.

But now that Tao Qian is about to die, Xuzhou can only have one successor anyway, no matter who this person is, whether it is the Mi family behind Mi Zhu, or Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen, they will inevitably become the spoils of the heir, and Mi Zhu, the master of the Mi family, can only use the help of Mi Zhen to become a rich son who eats and waits for death, because the family in Xuzhou will never let Mi Zhu, a person who started in business, share their piece of cake. But Mi Zhu, who lost his money and sister, is really willing to accept this ending?

Is that true? Did Lu Huqi really say that? This, that's great! I, can I really be the squire of the Ministry of Commerce? ”

Mi Zhu asked with some excitement. If he can really be a squire of the Ministry of Commerce who is equivalent to the position of Jiuqing before, then Mi Zhu Ke can really be regarded as the ancestor of the Mi Clan! This glory is not comparable to that of gold and silver.

Not to mention that Lu Bu just asked him to move the Mi family to Luoyang, even if Lu Bu really asked Mi Zhu to contribute the huge assets in his hands and the delicate sister who was as beautiful as a flower, Mi Zhu would willingly exchange these for that position. In the final analysis, it is also because of the unfair ranking of 'Shinong Industry and Commerce' that Mi Zhu, who was born in a business, has suffered from the discriminatory eyes, so as long as there is any opportunity, Mi Zhu will not let go!!

"Hehe, maybe other princes may not believe in their words, but my lord will do what he says, and he never breaks his word, (it's quite like my ~(*^__^*)~) I believe that Mr. Mi Zhu has also heard a little, right? Don't worry, as long as Mr. is willing to be loyal to my father-in-law, my father-in-law will even help you arrange the route of how to leave Xuzhou and enter Luoyang. Fang Qiong looked like he was in his chest.

Mi Zhu frowned and said: "Now that the Tiger Prison Pass has been taken by Cao Ying, I heard that the general guarding the Tiger Prison Pass is one of the few generals under Cao Ying - Xiahou Yuan, and he has 50,000 elite men under him, and even if Lu Hu cavalry attacks with an army of 100,000 with the danger of the Tiger Prison Pass, it is not a problem to hold on for several months." In the direction of Huguan and Wuguan, there are armies of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu stationed along the way, although the Mi family is not comparable to some well-known families, but some gold and silver property are all packed together, but there are not a few. And not to mention whether this way can pass through Wuguan or the army along the Huguan, even if the local pottery mansions in Xuzhou are fine, they will not let our Mi clan leave easily, because"

"Because it's not just your Mi's property, but also your Mi's Mi's Mi Zhen, who is said to be the first beauty in Xuzhou, right? Hahaha, Mr. Mi Zhu doesn't need to worry about these problems. Now that I have completed the task of the land that the main bus gave me, it is now the turn of the second one, and this second task still needs a lot of help from Mr. Mi Zhu. Fang Qiong directly interrupted Mi Zhu's question.

Mi Zhu sighed lightly and said, "I don't know what I want Mi Zhu to help?" ”

Fang Qiong pretended to be mysterious and asked Mi Zhu to come forward to listen, he whispered a few words in Mi Zhu's ear, and Mi Zhu was so frightened that his eyes were round, as if he had heard something incredible!

"This, really going to do this? Will it be?" Mi Zhu asked with some hesitation.

Fang Qiong made a reassuring action: "As long as Mr. does what I say, everything else will be a matter of course, as long as it will be seen within half a month!" ”

Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to Fang Qiong's request

Dividing line

But it was said that Yuan Shu in Nanyang, since he listened to Li Yan's persuasion and rejected the alliance messenger sent by Lu Bu, Yuan Shu has been thinking about not wanting to eat, and he always feels depressed in his heart.

What is the matter with him? Without him, Li Yan's share of the painting cake was too far away, and when he coveted it every day, it made him immerse himself in the pain of not getting it all the time. This kind of torment made Yuan Shu, who had just rejected the position of the third duke, feel very upset and depressed, especially after the news that Cao Ying had waved his troops to attack the rich land of Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father, Yuan Shu was even more depressed!

"Bastard! Why hasn't the honey I asked for yet? Well? Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and rush it! Get out of here!! Yuan Shu smashed the empty honeypot on the desk to the attendant who was standing aside.

Watching the few close attendants escape from the military tent with rolling and crawling, Yuan Shu sat on the horse and gasped angrily: "Huh~ Damn Li Yan, what do you say Luoyang is in the bag, and now Lu Bu has increased his troops by 100,000 to guard Wuguan, even if I really fight with Lu Bu to lose both, I'm afraid that it won't be me who finally gets Luoyang, right?" Hum! And that damn Cao Ying! He actually used me to attract Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, but he led a large army to attack Xuzhou!! What a bastard! ”

"Lord, Steward Zhang from your house came quickly and said that there was something important to report to you!" A rough voice came from outside the tent, but Yuan Shu immediately heard that this was the number one general under him, Ji Ling.

"Zhang Heng? What could he, an old slave, do? Go and let him in. Yuan Shu grabbed one of the lychees on the desk that was said to have been transported from Jiaozhou, Jiangdong, peeled off a thin layer of peel, and threw the snow-white lychee flesh into his bloody mouth. (There are lychees in the Western Han Dynasty, and I have specially checked them.) A moment later, a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent. Yuan Shu raised his eyes and saw Zhang Heng, the old housekeeper in his house, 'flying' in and kneeling on the ground!

"Sir! You have to call the shots for the third lady!! When the old housekeeper saw Yuan Shu's face, he immediately cried out with snot and tears, as if his mother had been beaten and scolded.

Yuan Shu frowned and shouted in a low voice, "What happened?" Third lady, what's wrong with her? ”

The old slave wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and replied: "Since the lord left Li Yan in Luoyang Mansion, Li Yan has caused trouble in Wancheng, either molesting a woman of any family, or robbing the valuable objects of which family, and for a while, the whole Wancheng has been circulating the evil deeds of Li Yan's house. But since the lord is looking at him, we who are subordinates don't have much to say.

But as I said before, the third lady took a few people to the west of Wancheng City to buy things, but on the way she met that daring Li Yan! Madame saw that he was a talented person valued by the lord, so she casually said a few words to him, and we didn't care about anything at that time, but Li Yan didn't know what he had done, so frightened that the third lady screamed and fell off the carriage, breaking the lady's left knee! When I came back to my senses, I only saw the third lady sitting on the ground crying, but Li Yan kept deniing that the third lady had fallen into the carriage by herself.

Afterwards, the third lady told us that Li Yan took advantage of her unpreparedness to grab her hand, and she was frightened and only cared about pulling out her hand, but she unexpectedly fell down from the carriage. But in order not to prevent the lord from winning over Li Yan, she instructed us not to mention this matter again. But the third lady can endure this evil breath, how can I wait for the next generation to watch the third lady suffer such grievances? That's why I came overnight and reported the matter to the master! How to deal with this Li Yan, it's all up to you to decide!! ”
