Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 170
"Reunion?"

Seeing the description behind [Current Relationship], Xu Jiashu thought for a moment that he had chosen the wrong partner. He went back and checked several times before confirming that it was Diao Chan.

"Impossible. If I had seen a beautiful girl of this level before, there is no way I would have no impression at all." He touched his chin and whispered to himself, "Let's take a look during the free simulation."

In front of my eyes, the summary of the past slowly emerged.

[In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Chuping, the Chang'an scholars completed their merger and were planning a counterattack. You were not in a hurry to choose a side. You pretended to be dumbfounded in front of Wang Yun and ignored his hint. Next, you decided. 】

The options are the reference for subsequent actions. Xu Jiashu quickly moved his eyes downwards.
[[-]. "Wait until I write a letter and go back to summon the army and kill them with red bean paste!"]

[[-]. "But what does this have to do with me, Ke Muzhi, a Qiang man? I'll go find Dong Bai another day."]

[[-]. "Wang Situ, I figured it out."]

【[-]. Free Simulation】

Looking at it in turn, we can see that they probably represent three different directions: independence, Dong's and Shiren's.

Autonomy is the first to be ruled out – at least not possible now.

You know, the reason why Xu Jiashu plays a decisive role in Ma Yunlu's simulation is because Dong Min has been assassinated. When the two sides are at war with each other and have to fight for life and death, either side needs to win over such a sudden new force. This is a big deal. premise!
Without this premise, if you still want to lead troops into the capital in a big way, you simply think that your life is too long. No one wants to see the spoiler appear. Even Dong Zhuo did not have the courage at the time and could only wait outside Luoyang. Pick up leaks.

As for finding Dong Bai
Dong Min is still alive, what's the use of looking for her, elopement?

Uh.
It's not impossible to elope, but Xu Jiashu's thoughts suddenly changed. It has to be an elopement in reality, not an elopement in a simulation.
Finally, option three.

Because I didn't express my attitude on the spot last time, I could only use a lower profile this time, and took the initiative to step in and serve as Wang's tool - don't be too shabby, just like this, how many people want to kneel down but don't have the ability to do so!
As for the follow-up, if Xu Jiashu's guess is correct, he should take the initiative to defect to Wang Yun and then find an opportunity to pry Lao Deng's corner and have an intersection with Diao Chan. From then on, the two tool men who share the same disease depend on each other and support each other to fight against the evil behind-the-scenes mastermind Wang Situ. own destiny
It sounds strange!
Xu Jiashu said, I am matched with the key. Does Wang Paizhu match it?
Match it, match it with a few!
[Free Simulation], start!
-
"Teacher, do you need us to help prepare for the twelfth lunar month?"

Sun Zi kept bowing to ask questions. Seeing that Xu Jiashu didn't answer for a long time, Sun Zi couldn't help but look up at his teacher.

I don't know if it was because of regular exercise, but he grew taller very quickly. He stood out among a group of imperial students and was considered outstanding. In addition, he was Wang Situ's fellow student, so there were already smart people in the court. If you build momentum for him, his future will be limitless.

"The teacher suddenly fell into a daze, but what's on his mind?"

Xu Jiashu came back to his senses and realized that he had entered the free simulation. Looking around, he found that although the cold wind was blowing, the faces of the pedestrians on the outer city streets were filled with a touch of joy - no matter how difficult the days were, as long as they There is still hope, which can make people feel happy.

For people in the Han Dynasty, the twelfth lunar month was such a day.

As the last legal holiday of the year, the twelfth lunar month is also the most solemn holiday in the second half of the year.

"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Three months after the winter solstice, sacrifices are made to the gods."

It means the third Xu day after the winter solstice, celebrating the twelfth lunar month and worshiping the gods.

Calculating the time, it is about fourteen days later in reality.

Sun Zi asked if he, the students, would like to help with the preparations for the Lantern Festival: starting to kill pigs in the first five days, killing sheep in the first three days, fasting and bathing in the first two days, and cleaning the courtyard. These are no small projects. , if you let the guards do it, it will seem too deserted.

"It's nothing to worry about." Xu Jiashu shook his head and patted the student's shoulder gently. "On the twelfth day of the lunar month, you might as well call all your acquaintances over, so that you can have a festive look."

The twelfth lunar month is a day for reunions. "Hanshu-Ku Li Biography" even records that Yan Yannian's mother traveled all the way from Donghai County to Luoyang to celebrate the festival with her son.

Although he realized that he might have entered the option, Xu Jiashu still answered like this.

He did not intend to just let the students "do their work if they have something to do" - they were all people who had left their hometowns when they came here from Luoyang, and they should gather together on such a rare day.

Hearing this, a look of surprise clearly flashed across Sun Zi's face.

It was heard that the teacher had already occupied a county in Xiliang. Others didn't believe this, but he naturally believed it. After reaching the situation of connecting counties across the state, he was actually willing to spend the twelfth lunar month with the people he had been fighting with in the past.

This magnanimity makes him worthy of being a teacher whom he regards as an elder brother.

Xu Jiashu was afraid that he would get angry, so he added, "It would be better to invite more people and make it more lively."

Well, it's just a pity that Xingba has something important to do, otherwise, by taking this opportunity, the original people would be gathered together.

Sun Zi nodded in agreement.

[Chang'an has been peaceful on the surface until the twelfth lunar month, when heavy snow fell one after another. Many people came to your residence. Most of them could still name them. Seeing each other again after a long separation gave rise to endless emotions, until there was a knock at the door. There is a knock at the door, and a stranger comes into the house. You look carefully and see that there is Diao Chan among them. 】

There was no clear reason, just for a moment, the originally lively courtyard became silent. Xu Jiashu subconsciously thought of the scene where the head teacher or leader quietly appeared, and then shook his head - Xingba was not there, there was no other leader here except himself. ?
The real reason for the silence could only be Diao Chan.

She put on a little makeup and wore a red jacket, walking in the snowy scene, turning everything into an unreal dream.

In the yard, the people who were reminiscing about old times all slowed down and spoke perfunctorily in unison. They used their peripheral vision to look at this elf who suddenly visited the world. No, it was a devil. Only the devil needs this skin to charm all living beings.

On the side, Sun Zi leaned into Xu Jiashu's ear and whispered: "Teacher, is this the new master's wife?"

I have seen a lot of the beautiful girls around the teacher, Sun Zi, and Cai Yan, who gets along with him like a brother and sister. But like this, only his appearance can make everyone dare not speak loudly, for fear of alarming the gods, maybe only The unidentified master's wife on the way to move the capital is comparable.

One of them is as indifferent as the osmanthus in the moon palace, and the other is as hot as the flowers of spring dawn, but they are equally equal and share the color of the world equally - as he said, he is worthy of being the teacher he regards as his brother.

Diao Chan's beautiful eyes casually scanned the entire scene, and she was very satisfied with the effect.

When the family fled to the outer city, they naturally couldn't dress their daughter up. Instead, they had to try their best to look ugly in order to stay safe in the chaotic outer city.

Even though she is as beautiful as Diao Chan, with her face covered in plant ash and her body wrapped tightly, she is indistinguishable from a village woman. What's more, she is hiding behind her father, and no one in the gang knows that the accountant's daughter is born in the country. color.

She glanced at Xu Jiashu, shouldn't she turn a blind eye to me now, right?

This is the most beautiful girl at the party!
No man can refuse to pick such a pearl in front of everyone!
Being raised in Situ's house, Diao Chan learned how to make men feel itchy - winking is useless, and making gestures is vulgar. You just need to attract everyone's attention and act like a prize that only the winner deserves to pick, and you will naturally have it. Unrivaled attraction, the more competitive men are, the more they fall for this trick.

Diao Chan thinks she has a winning chance.

Speaking of which, in order to be able to see her family on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the butler also took a huge risk and lied that Diao Chan was not feeling well, so as to get her a day off to visit relatives.

Seeing the beauty's rare smile, Jia Zai thought that his favorability had soared, and he even began to fantasize about having a kiss with Fangze, but little did he know that the goddess in his heart just planned to use him to give others a big surprise.

Boiling Yangyang, you are so rude.jpg
"Xu Langjun." Diao Chan walked up to him and bowed Yingying, "We meet again."

Everyone here calls Xu Jiashu different names, some call him Xu Langguan, some call him Xu Shangshu, some simply call him Xu Jun, but Diao Chan called him "Lang Jun" intentionally or unintentionally.
She raised her head and looked at the target confidently, like a fox throwing out a charming little heart.

"It turns out it's the accountant's family." Xu Jiashu nodded, "Go in and sit down, it's cold outside."

?

Diao Chan frowned and realized something was wrong with this person.

After the banquet, everyone at the table tried their best to peek at Diao Chan, but she just sat quietly, still thinking about Xu Jiashu's reaction just now.

It's hard to say how much she likes Xu Langjun. The reason why she does this is very simple.

Diao Chan is a very smart person.

Especially after the family suffered a sudden disaster and went bankrupt, I became even more aware of the impermanence of the world - my father, a decent and wealthy businessman, suddenly turned into a beggar wandering around in the outer city. The family could only hold each other to keep warm. There were no mature men occupying the corner to take shelter from the wind.At that time, Diao Chan discovered that there is no eternity in this world.

Whether it is a brilliant reputation or overwhelming wealth, they are all fleeting things. Only violence in the hands is reliable.

And Xu Jiashu was her chosen one.

He is good-looking, tall and heroic, and is a hero known to the world with a bright future.

Like every precocious beauty, after understanding the value of her appearance, Diao Chan just wants to cash it in as soon as possible, find a quick husband, and live a good life in this uncertain world.

Thinking about it, if Xu Zimao could be favored, it would be a very simple matter to get rid of his identity as a singer.

Perhaps in order to convince herself, Diao Chan made up many reasons for her behavior, and even deceived herself and beautified the original scene countless times in her memory, thinking that she should like Xu Zimao.
But in fact, her purpose was simple and straightforward, just to make Xu Zimao fall in love with him.

It seemed that her invincible beauty had failed.

In the second half of the banquet, everyone left one after another. Liu Ying called Xu Jiashu to the backyard to discuss meeting his brother Liu Xie, and showed his face once.

Seeing her stunning appearance, Diao Chan suddenly realized - So, is this the only one who is worthy of Xu Zimao?
After all, I was still wishful thinking.

The frustrated Diao Chan silently followed her father, without the calmness when she came, and did not say goodbye to Xu Zimao before leaving.

After all, she was just a young girl with little experience. When the other person's IQ was not lowered by her natural beauty, she was suddenly at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"what is this?"

Diao Chan pointed to the money in her father's hand, thinking that the young master from another family at the dinner party had taken a fancy to her and came to propose marriage.

"Zimao Langguan gave it to us as a thank you for our help in the past." Dad couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Whether it is Zimao Langguan or Gan Haoxia, there are still many good people in the world."

Diao Chan turned around, not looking at her father.

At the end of the banquet, a description suddenly appeared: [During the banquet on the twelfth lunar month, you ignored Diao Chan, and her favorable impression of you has slightly decreased.]

When Xu Jiashu saw this, he felt that something was wrong with what he was doing.

If you act too formal, you lose your appeal.

Speaking of which, both Cai Yan and Liu Ying have gone through a lot of things before they got together. There has never been such a thing like hooking up just because they were interested in sex, which led to the most normal situation. In terms of the relationship process, Xu Jiashu is still a sultry man who has just graduated and lacks experience.

Adult relationships rely on temptation.

You must pay attention next time, Xu Jiashu concluded. At least you can be bolder in the free simulation, and don't overdo it just because of the black simulation.

He continued to watch.

[The day after the twelfth lunar month, during the chat with Xun You, you knew that Diao Chan was about to be given to Niu Fu. 】

The first day after the twelfth lunar month is called "Little New Year". According to the custom, it is necessary to visit relatives and friends. Xu Jiashu only went to Xun You's house.

"What?" He almost lost his grip on the wine bottle in his hand, "Why did Wang Situ suddenly give a beautiful woman to Niu Fu again?"

"Isn't this normal?" Xun You glanced at him as if he shouldn't be surprised, and explained: "Among the remaining members of the Dong family, although Niu Fu is not good at writing or martial arts, he holds the The military power of the Xiliang Army is Dong’s greatest weakness.”

In the final analysis, the scholars have only one purpose, which is to cause civil strife in the Dong Group, which has the upper hand, and then draw chestnuts from the fire, pull one faction to fight another, and complete a comeback in which the weak defeat the strong.

Then the simple and crude trick of assassinating Dong Min was strongly opposed by Xun You, so Wang Yun, who had integrated the scholars, could not be idle. Wu Fu couldn't use the card, so use the Diao Chan card. If the hard one is not good, use the soft one. Yes, even if things don't work out, it's just that there is one less beautiful singer, and it won't cause a head-on confrontation between the two parties.

"But Diao Chan is different!"

Xu Jiashu blurted out - she was a simulation target, and if she really was delivered to Niu Fu, someone would be hung up and scolded for days and nights!

Scary!

Xun You didn't see Diao Chan the last time he went to Situ's Mansion, so he was a little puzzled by Xu Jiashu's reaction, but out of loyalty he still suggested: "Since Zi Mao has an old relationship with the singer, why don't I take you to Situ's Mansion once? As for how to get Wang Situ to take back his life, it depends on Zi Mao's own ability."

[On the same day, you and Xun You came to Wang Yun's house on the pretext of visiting, looking for Diao Chan. 】

"Niu Fu." Diao Chan looked at the blooming wintersweet in the yard, bowed her head and said nothing.

According to common sense, I am just a singer. Even if my beauty attracts the attention of crazy bees and butterflies like Jiazhai, I still can't get on the stage. Being given to a powerful general with military power is already quite embarrassing. Bad situation.
But Diao Chan is really unwilling to give in - who is Niu Fu?

A weirdo who leads the elite frontier troops that Xiliang has cultivated for many years but loses to the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, a waste recognized by the world!

If Dong Zhuo hadn't needed such a non-threatening and related tool man, he would never have been able to rise to a high position in the army.

After meeting the real elites of scholars, I naturally looked down upon third-rate figures like Niu Fu who were neither good at writing nor fighting.

What's more important is that at this time, Diao Chan is not a tool singer who has lost her heart after her family was destroyed. She was rescued from a dark life, and she also reached out to try to get rid of her destined destiny.

"It's true that beauty is unlucky."

Amidst the heavy snow, a faint lament sounded.

"It's been a long night without any intention of sleeping. I thought I was the only one like this, but I didn't expect you, Miss Diaochan, to be the same!", muttering strange lines, Xu Jiashu appeared on stage.

"Come on," Diao Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is the Situ Mansion, what nonsense are you talking about?"

This man is also strange. He was indifferent to me last time we met. Why is he trying to be a good person now?
"Wang Pai. I mean Wang Situ intends to give the girl to General Niu Fu as his concubine. I wonder if the girl knows?" Xu Jiashu got straight to the point.

"Of course I know," Diao Chan replied dully, "I also know that I will give Niu Fu a thumbs up in the future and encourage him to rebel against Dong Min and Li Ru."

These are what Wang Yun asked the family manager to tell her.

She didn't know Li Ru and Niu Fu. Before these people came back from Luoyang, she had already been sent to Wang Yun's mansion.

"Isn't the girl unwilling at all?"

"So what if you don't want to give up, I'm just a singer," Diao Chan began to give up on herself: "As Wang Situ said, if a beautiful woman matches a hero, and she becomes a concubine to General Niu Fu, she might already be a high-ranking concubine."

"Fart!" When Xu Jiashu heard Wang's nonsense as he slapped the table, he couldn't help but refuted it, "How can a rare beauty like Miss Diao Chan in the world be touched by someone like Niu Fu?"

"As long as the girl believes in me," Xu Jiashu stretched out his hand and swore to the moon, "I, Xu Zimao, will definitely let the girl regain her freedom!"

Diao Chan looked up at the night sky. She didn't know if Closing the Moon was a passive skill. It was clear that there was only three minutes of moonlight just now, but a thick dark cloud just drifted over and covered the moon.

Ah this
Xu Jiashu felt a chill on his neck - but fortunately he didn't swear to be struck by thunder.

"Pfft." Diao Chan smiled, which was even more dazzling than the moon hiding in the dark clouds. "Then I'll depend on Xu Langjun."
