Chapter 69: From the Dragon and from the Tiger (1)
“...... It is said that Gongsun Ming fought Yuan Benchu three times, and in one fell swoop, he predicted what the future would be, and listened to the next decomposition!"
Since the Yellow Turban rebellion, there has been chaos everywhere in the world, only beneficial to the state, Jingzhou is generally peaceful, the people are also rich, there are a lot of leisure and leisure, this is not, the tavern gathered to listen to the storyteller is really not a few, it is actually the huge hall is all crowded, all listen to the drunkenness, but unexpectedly at the critical juncture, only to listen to the cloud board sound, the storyteller as usual came to a next decomposition, really adjusted the appetite of the people, for a time it was a chaos, but the storyteller insisted on not saying any more, everyone was helpless, had to disperse.
"Yuan Zhi always said that he should choose the master and follow it, and see how Gongsun Ming is?"
As soon as the storyteller left, most of the people in the tavern immediately dispersed, but most of the guests in the private room on the second floor were still there, and in the middle of the C-shaped room, there were four scribes who were laughing and talking about Wuji, only to see a middle-aged scribe with three locks of long beard fluttering in his hand holding a wine bottle, and lit up at a young scribe diagonally opposite, and joked with a ridiculous tone, this person's surname is Cui, his name is Jun, and his name is Zhouping. It's hard to say, the rumors in the market are exaggerated after all, however, hearing its deeds, it is a little heroic, if there is a fate, maybe you can meet with it, at that time, I don't know whether to assist it or attack it, heh, just laughing and talking, I can't count, come, gentlemen, full of drink!"
Sitting opposite Cui Zhouping, the young scribe is sturdy, dignified, this person is Xu Shu, his real name is Xu Fu, Yingchuan people, the character is straight, born in a poor family, heroic and righteous, once because of the revenge of friends and murder and convicted, and then saved, then avoided living in Jingzhou, renamed Xu Shu.
"Haha...... Okay, you're Xu Yuanzhi, it's unknown where you are devoted, and you're going to be on a par with that Gongsun Ming, according to a certain look......"
As soon as Xu Shu's bold words came out, Cui Zhouping couldn't help but laugh out loud, and was about to take Xu Shu a hand, but he heard the door of the wing room suddenly ring, and he stopped halfway through the words.
Cui Zhouping was closest to the door, and when he saw that the people outside the door were obviously pushing the door in by themselves, he got up, stretched out his hand and pushed the two sliding doors open, and immediately saw a famous and strange scribe standing outside the door, followed by several attendants holding wooden boxes, obviously either rich or expensive, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"This brother is invited, dare to ask Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"
The person at the door was obviously a gentle and elegant person, and he gave a big gift before he opened his mouth, and his words were obviously respectful and polite.
"Brother Tai is polite, wait a minute, Yuan Zhi, looking for you. ”
This time I heard that someone was looking for Xu Yuanzhi, Cui Zhouping didn't think much about it, and after politely returning the salute, he immediately called inside.
"A certain is Xu Shu, I don't know if Mr. is ......"
Xu Shu has a lot of friends, and when he heard that someone was looking for him, he didn't care, so he got up and walked to the door, but when he saw that people were very unfamiliar, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"So that Mr. Xu learned that a certain Xue Yi, who is now engaged in Bohai County, was sent to Jingzhou on the order of my lord, and came to find Mr. Xu, and there was a letter, and Mr. Xu was asked to take a look. ”
The person who came was Xue Yi, who came to Jingzhou to pull people on the order of Gongsun Ming, in order to find Xu Shu, Xue Yi has been throwing a lot of money these days, and now he finally saw the main master, Xue Yi's face was full of excitement.
This person heard that Gongsun Ming was sent, not only Xu Shu, but the faces of the other three people in the box couldn't help but be a little weird.
"There's Mr. Law. ”
Xu Shu asked himself if he had ever had any communication with Gongsun Ming, and he couldn't understand how Gongsun Ming could send someone to send him a letter, but everyone came, and he didn't want to lose his manners, so he politely thanked him, stretched out his hand to take the letter, scraped the fire paint on the envelope with a knife, and took out a piece of paper from the inside.
"Yuan Zhi, you are ......"
Seeing Xu Shu laughing so happily, Cui Zhouping's curiosity couldn't help but rise, and he immediately tried to find half of his words from the side.
"Xu is fine, Xue Zhi, I don't know if your father-in-law has anything to say?"
Xu Shu didn't rush to explain, he just waved his hand at Cui Zhouping, and then Zhengrong bowed his hand to Xue Yi is and asked politely.
"My father-in-law said, Mr. Xu will make a decision after reading the letter, don't ask, Xue don't ask, there are three boxes here, which are to be left by my master bus to Mr. Xu, and ask Mr. Xu to check. ”
Xue Yi was actually very curious about what was written in the letter, but Xu Shu didn't say it, and he wouldn't go to the bottom of it, but after a few words of respectful explanation, he left the three big boxes with a few entourages, and then bowed down again, and actually left.
"Today's evil, it's unspeakable, just when it comes to Gongsun Ming, the messenger came out, it's really evil, it's a little tighter, but it's also a good thing, now, Yuan Zhike can determine whether to assist him or attack it in the future. ”
Cui Zhouping and Xu Shu have always been good friends, and they have no scruples about each other, no, Xue Yifang had just left, and Cui Zhouping had already made fun of Xu Shu with a smile.
Xu Shu ignored Cui Zhouping's ridicule, leaned over and opened the three boxes one by one, but saw that the first box was a robe that was the same as the clothes worn by Xue Yizhi's entourage, the second box was empty, and the third box was the smallest, but it was full of more than a dozen gold ingots, which was worth a hundred times.
"What a person who is as careful as a hair, I have made up my mind, assist him!"
After looking at the three boxes, Xu Shu's face showed a clear look, and he clenched his fists, and he actually made up his mind.
"Yuan Zhi, you ......"
As soon as Xu Shu's words came out, Cui Zhouping couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but think that Xu Shu's decision was too hasty, and he opened his mouth to admonish him.
"Brother Zhou Ping, let's read this letter first. ”
Xu Shu didn't say much to explain, but handed the letter in his hand to Cui Zhouping.
"There are a million soldiers, do you dare to practice? Heh, what a Gongsun Ming, his ambition is great!"
There was only one line of words on the letter, Cui Zhouping read it out in a whisper, his brows furrowed, and soon he was raised, obviously he had understood the subtext of the three boxes behind Gongsun Ming - if you want to go, please change into the clothes of your entourage, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, if you don't go, please live and work in peace and contentment with hundreds of money, so as to avoid the disaster of swords, although there is no strong intention, but it obviously reveals a strong ambition to win the world......
