After arranging the affairs of Zhang Zhongjing's master and apprentice, Liu Hou finally had time to pay attention to Zhang Xingcai.

"Sister Xing, why are you here?"

"What's the matter, little Adou, if your little lover of Dongwu can come, I can't come?" Zhang Xingcai pouted and said dissatisfied.

"I didn't mean that, the reason why Miss Zhou came with me was because I needed her to help win the hearts of the generals of Eastern Wu. Now that we have captured more and more Eastern Wu soldiers, it is not easy for these proud soldiers to surrender. Miss Zhou has been helping me persuade them to surrender, so I took her with me for a purpose. ”

Liu Hou couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard Zhang Xingcai's words, and hurriedly explained. Zhang Xingcai didn't give up: "Hmph, then you mean that she is very useful to you, and I am just a useless person?" ”

Liu Hou was embarrassed again, and said: "Of course not, your role is great, you see, the rattan armor fire retardant you invented can be worth millions of male masters, so every time we win a battle, we have your share of credit, and no one has your credit." ”

Liu Hou hurriedly exaggerated Zhang Xingcai's merits to infinity, saying that women like to listen to good words.

"Really? Then why don't you let me follow you? ”

"This, this, of course I'm always welcome if you want to come, but marching and fighting are hard and dangerous, and I'm not worried about your hardship."

"I think back then, I was not the same as dancing with knives and guns, and I often mixed in the barracks, where I would be afraid of the hardships of this march and war. I don't care, I will follow you to fight in the future, and I will follow you wherever you fight. ”

Liu Hou listened to her words, and a deep sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart. Back then, he finally fooled Zhang Xingcai into abandoning Wu Congwen and letting her concentrate on studying science, but now he came over and said that he would follow him to fight.

What made her give up indulging in scientific research for many years? Is it because of jealousy? It seems that women are naturally nervous, and when they feel that their status is threatened, they put down a qiē and run over to snatch back what belongs to them.

Liu Hou thought about it, the ugly woman needs to see her family eventually, and the matter between herself and Zhou Xue has always been hidden, so it is better to say it generously. So, he said to Zhang Xingcai:

"Sister Xing, I have something to tell you, don't be angry."

"What's the matter? Isn't it possible that you've already put someone else's on that? ”

Liu Hou was embarrassed for the third time when he heard this, and his face turned red with embarrassment. I really didn't expect this guy to abandon martial arts and follow literature for so many years, and he is still so strong, what is the name of the general, is he such a person? Well, even if you're that kind of person, you have to be willing to do that.

"No, how could it be. I mean, this, that, I'm really interested in that Miss Zhou. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai raised his eyebrows, looking like he wanted to explode. Seeing this, Liu Hou hurriedly said:

"Of course, it's not what you think, that's the case, you know, I'm laying down more and more territory, but I have very few talents, and there are not enough people to manage so many places, and the conquest of the Quartet also needs to have a general to help lead the troops, but now that the talents under my command are withering, I can't do anything bigger.

And the fastest and most direct way to obtain talents is to recruit the captives of Soochow. You see, recently we have captured Han Dang, Ding Feng, Buqi and other Eastern Wu generals, these people are either brave champions of the three armies, or can lead the army, or can govern one side of the talent, if we can recruit them under our command, our army will be like a tiger.

But these people are loyal and righteous people, and it is difficult for me to recruit them by playing tricks alone. But Zhou Xue is different, she is Zhou Yu's daughter, and her status in the Eastern Wu Army is very special.

Many Dongwu generals are still very convinced of Zhou Yu, and by the way, they also have special feelings for Zhou Xue. If I can make good use of this relationship with Zhou Xue, I believe it will be of great benefit to recruit the generals of Eastern Wu. I do have plans to marry Zhou Xue as a concubine, but it's just for the sake of recruiting talents. So, don't be angry. ”

Liu Hou's words completely attributed his covetousness to Zhou Xue's political needs, tried his best to clear up what feelings he had with Zhou Xue, and completely ignored the fact that he was jealous of her in the restaurant before he knew Zhou Xue's identity, and let her go after knowing that she was an assassin.

He said such shameless words, the purpose was to let Zhang Xingcai gain a psychological advantage in his relationship with Zhou Xue, so as to agree to the relationship between the two of them. I just don't know how Zhou Xue will feel when she hears his words.

"Aren't you really coveting her beauty?" Zhang Xingcai asked.

"Of course not, do you think I'm such a person? I'm just thinking about my father's cause. For the sake of the great cause, I have sacrificed my personal happiness, and I am no different from those princesses who are kind. ”

Liu Hou hurriedly expressed his determination and loyalty. I don't know if those amiable princesses in history will run back from the grave outside the plug and knock him on the head when they hear him so cheeky words.

"Hmph, I think you're a womanizer. When you were a child, you saw that the eyes of people and the silver bottle sister were lustful, and now when you see such a big beauty, will you not be moved? ”

"Uh......" Liu Hou was really speechless this time, this really wronged him, when he was a child, although Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinhua looked very cute, but they were still little girls, they didn't have any weird problems like a fetish, how could they look at them with lustful eyes.

"This is really not, you really misunderstood, not to mention that there are some of these and there are not, otherwise, you will follow our army in the future, anyway, our army also lacks scientific and technological talents like you. You should be a scientific adviser in our army, and I believe that you will be able to play a very important role in the army. ”

Liu Hou saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly changed the topic, and did not hesitate to violate the rule that there can be no women in the army, and promised to let Zhang Xingcai stay in the army. But in fact, he had already violated this rule when he left Zhou Xue, but he was the crown prince, and his status was so high that no one dared to raise any opinions on it.

Zhang Xingcai was really happy when he heard that she was asked to stay in the army, and he was even happier when he heard that she would play an important role. Her attention was successfully diverted: "Okay, then I'll stay, but what is a consultant?" ”

"Oh, it's just to hire you, just ask if you don't understand something." Liu Houxin explained a noun.

"Okay, so what's the important thing for me to do now, or ask?"

"This, this ......" Liu Hou just said casually, and he really didn't think of what she was asked to do. In his mind, it is only right to raise this little princess in the boudoir. As for the scientific advisors, is there anyone in this world who has more scientific knowledge than himself?
