Fortunately, Lu Meng has never played an online game RPG, otherwise he must have regarded Bai Tu as an old village chief with a broken leg......

Could it be that as soon as the woodcutter met, he would complain to him that there were too many hugging rabbits recently, delaying him to chop wood, and then asking him to go out of the city to kill 15 hugging rabbits?

However, this kind of magical task did not appear, and Lu Meng, under the guidance of Steward Li, met the docking "woodcutter" and told him about Wancheng.

This woodcutter is younger than Lu Meng imagined, generally when it comes to woodcutters, Lu Meng thinks of "woodcutters", after all, there is no field to go into the mountains anyway, young people have to fish and hunt.

However, the woodcutter in front of him, although he was a little unshaven and unkempt, did not have the slightest sense of decadence, not like the kind of poor man who could not marry a daughter-in-law......

After listening to Lu Meng talk about Wancheng, the woodcutter said as a matter of course: "Well, then I'll go with you." ”

Lu Meng: ......

Lu Meng didn't understand why he had to bring a woodcutter for this...... And besides himself, the lord and the woodcutter himself seem to take this for granted?

Do you have to threaten Zhang Xiu and cut down all the mountains around Wancheng?

However, since the lord said that he wanted to take the woodcutter with him, Lu Meng naturally had no objection, and when he went to find Bai Tu again, Bai Tu did not hand him the letterhead, but asked him to tell him in front of him.

"When you arrive in Wancheng and see Master Zhu, you tell him...... As long as Zhang Xiu is willing to be attached, in addition to the previously promised Guannei Hou, he is also allowed to still guard Wancheng, and then he can analyze Wancheng and set up another county in the area of Wancheng and Yucheng, and show him as a guard, or he can lead other troops into the general's mansion, and all the treatment is the same as that of the generals, and he can grab the merits.

Other than that...... If he can't make up his mind for a while, as long as he doesn't accept the solicitation of either Cao and Yuan, I will keep this condition for him, but Jia Xu, who is his advisor, must first come to Jinling as an envoy and be reused. Bai Tu said.

Lu Meng listened to it and wrote it down.

Bai Tu didn't say what the woodcutter was going to do when he went to Wancheng.

However, what reassured Lu Meng was that after the two of them rode on the war horse, they found that this woodcutter was riding a stable horse, which naturally proved ...... This silent young man is no ordinary woodcutter.

Before leaving, Lu Meng also asked Chasing Fengwei for a copy of the information of Wancheng Zhang Xiu and others, and Bai Tute approved him to obtain it.

On the way, Lu Meng also studied this information from time to time, obviously not only satisfied with "sending letters", but also imagined various scenes in his heart to persuade Zhang Xiu.

A few days ago, the two were silent all the way, and later after entering Yiyang County, the woodcutter asked Lu Meng in various "fantasies": "Didn't you send a letter?" Always talking to yourself about something. ”

"You don't understand that...... Only do the tasks that have been explained, won't I always be a small school, when will I be able to pay homage to the prime minister? If there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, we must seize it! Lu Meng's tone was in stark contrast to the woodcutter with a Buddhist face.

"Meritorious...... Is it just for the sake of the marquis? The woodcutter asked, disappointed.

"Not bad! When a man's husband stands in the world, isn't he just asking for a wife? Lu Meng said with his head held high.

"For the sake of this meritorious service, how many soldiers have shed blood and tears for civilians...... Is it worth it? Patience? I saw that the 'Lecture Martial Arts Hall' was still under construction, and the door also said 'Please go other ways to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this gate if you are greedy for life and fear of death', are you really a qualified general? "The woodcutter has some meaning of mental torture.

"What the lord is asking for is to open the peace of the world, and I am under the command of the lord, asking for a wife and a son, is it contradictory to this?" Lu Meng said as a matter of course.

"Every time you kill an enemy, don't you think you're ashamed of your exploits when you see every one of your comrades die?" The woodcutter frowned.

Lu Meng could feel that when the woodcutter said this, it was not an empty accusation, but as if he was really experienced, so he understood that the woodcutter did not look very old, but ...... Maybe it's a great experience?

However, for the woodcutter's mental torture, Lu Meng did not waver and said: "Shame? Why be ashamed, do you question my loyalty to the lord, or do you question what the white prince wants? ”

Lu Meng's psychology actually represents the psychology of some of Bai Tu's subordinate generals - the main internal motivation is still to "make meritorious contributions", and at the same time, the noble sentiments are "shirked" to Bai Tu.

It can be regarded as satisfying the instinctive self-interest of human beings, and at the same time putting on the cloak of benefiting others, making themselves more justified.

As Lu Meng said, he is from Rong for himself, but ...... As long as he doesn't betray Bai Tu, and Bai Tu doesn't betray his original intention, then why can't he get the merit he wants from it?

"All questioned. People who adhere to their beliefs will change, and the only thing that will not change is the beliefs themselves. The woodcutter said bluntly.

Lu Meng looked at the woodcutter in surprise, but he never thought that this person would be so straightforward, even Bai Gong didn't believe it......

"The Lord said that trust between people is a force that can change people's hearts and change the times...... So I believe in my lord, and I believe in myself. Lu Meng frowned and ended the topic.

That night, when the two rested on their horses, the woodcutter stayed awake for half a night, and finally muttered: trust...... Is it?

The footsteps of Lu Meng and the woodcutter were much faster than the honor guards of the imperial court, and it was clear that Cao Pi set off earlier, but ...... When Lü Meng and the woodcutter entered Nanyang County, Cao Pi had just arrived in Yiyang.

"After that, we have to be careful, let's abandon the war horse and change the horse." Although Lu Meng hadn't communicated with the woodcutter for several days, he still suggested coming out at this time.

In the world of Castle Hime, the difference between the appearance of war horses and horses is too great......

After all, Nanyang County is not controlled by Zhang Xiu, and the direction where the two entered is the south of Nanyang, which belongs to Liu Biao's shallow control area, and once they are found to be a "scout" riding a war horse, it is also a trouble.

If they had ridden a normal horse, they would have been able to save them at least some trouble.

"No, hurry as soon as possible, as long as you don't get close to important garrison locations." The woodcutter shook his head.

"Are you sure?" Lu Meng questioned.

"You can also go your separate ways." The woodcutter didn't explain much.

"You...... Never mind! War horses are war horses, you are not afraid of a chopping wood, the master is born to cut people! Hearing this, Lu Meng said stubbornly.

However, it was found that the woodcutter did not look at him at all, apparently ...... It's not deliberately provocative, it's just telling the truth.

"Anyway...... Why do you have a hunting fork with you? It won't be without a talisman, right? Lu Meng finally asked.

Of course, Lu Meng actually suspected in his heart that this woodcutter was either a great master or a great wise man, otherwise what would the lord let him take him for?

"There are always beasts of prey in the mountains, so it's safer to carry a hunting fork. As for the talismans...... Lost. The woodcutter said as a matter of course.

"Lost?" Lu Meng almost bit his tongue.

Before performing such an important mission, you didn't even make up for the talisman? Are you going to die of laziness?

And there are no talismans, who gave you the confidence to ride a war horse in the range of the enemy?

"It's out of the way, I didn't lose it and I don't want to use it." The woodcutter shook his head lonely.

Lu Meng really wanted to say - now is your most obstructive thing!

The two went all the way north, but they were lucky during the period, and the biggest obstacle was some armed bandits, and Lu Meng relied on the gilded armor to "chop and chop" all the way through the customs.

Even if you have just been promoted, it is not a problem to deal with some bandits......

Although it is much easier to be promoted to gilt now, it is already good at Lu Meng's age.

However, what made Lu Meng angry was that the woodcutter was watching the excitement with a hunting fork all the way, and shook his head from time to time, as if he couldn't look down on his martial arts!

"Don't follow the general knowledge of chopping wood, don't follow the general knowledge of chopping wood......" Lu Meng silently persuaded himself.

In the end, when they bypassed Xinye and were about to arrive at the city, a group of bandits with some official backgrounds informed the Xinye garrison that "there is a suspected enemy scout in the territory".

However, at this time, the two were already about to enter the range of the city, and in the end, the garrison of Shinno did not catch up with them.

The relationship between Zhang Xiu and Liu is "awkward" and "tacit".

The embarrassing thing is that Cao Cao had surrendered Zhang Xiu before, but the latter first agreed, and then reversed, and killed Cao Cao's eldest son, and then ...... Nominally returned to Liu Biao's arms.

The tacit understanding is that Liu Biao will only be a monk for one day and give him a bell for one day, so as not to tear this last layer of face.

After all, Liu Biao's control over Nanyang County is very low, and there are many wealthy families in various places...... In the entire Jingzhou, in fact, only Nanjun is regarded as Liu Biao's base camp, which is closer to Nanyang in the Central Plains and Jiangxia controlled by Huang Zu, as well as the four counties of Jingnan, which are only nominally subordinate to Liu Biao.

After Lü Meng and the woodcutter identified themselves in Yucheng, they were quickly sent to Wancheng, after all, these two places were controlled by Zhang Xiu.

Seeing Zhu Zhi who was resting in the annex, Lu Meng retold the words that Bai Tu asked him to pass on, and also retold them to Zhu Zhi.

Finding that Zhu Zhi's face was still a little stagnant after hearing it, Lu Meng couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhu, what trouble is there?" ”

Although Zhu Zhi didn't quite understand why he specially found a junior general in the army to send a message, he ...... However, because of this, it was inferred that Bai Tu wanted to cultivate Lu Meng, so he did not blame him for being abrupt, but bluntly said: "Then Yuan Shao is good to say, although he understands the importance of Zhang Xiu's place and the battle between himself and Cao Cao, but his attitude is quite arrogant, Xin Ping calls himself a famous man at home, but he doesn't know how to be flexible......

On the contrary, Cao Cao's side, this person is really a hero, the eldest son died at the hands of Zhang Xiu, and he actually put his posture quite low, Liu Ye is also a clever tongue, and as soon as he came to Wancheng, he married Jia Xu, and recently Zhang Xiu has been interested in Cao Cao! When it comes to treatment...... It is still Yuan and Cao who are more superior. ”

Hearing this, Lu Meng's eyes rolled and said, "Master Zhu, don't worry, I think we also have one of the biggest advantages...... Yuan and Cao Kai have a high price because they are eager to get Zhang Xiu's support at this time, so they open the price code inflated...... And isn't the reputation of the lord much better than that of Yuan and Cao? ”

Zhu Zhi looked at Lu Meng and felt that this young general was not only brave, so he nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

The woodcutter on the side didn't say much, only mentioned: "The next time I see Zhang Xiu, I will also go." ”

Zhu Zhi looked at him suspiciously, but the woodcutter didn't mean to solve the puzzle, so Zhu Zhi had to look at Lu Meng again......

"My lord asked me to bring this one." While Lu Meng told the truth, he gave Zhu Zhi a look of "I don't know what's going on".
