The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 268 Why are you?

At this time Qin Fan came over and explained briefly.

After hearing this, Xi Zhicai smiled wryly and said, "If the prime minister knows that you have kidnapped his right-hand bodyguard, I'm afraid he will not give up."

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Perseverance? I think he would be really persistent if he knew you were coming with me."

Xi Zhicai let out a long sigh, looking at Dian Wei with complicated eyes.

After a while, he turned his head and said, "So the rumors are all true?"

"What rumor?"

"It is rumored that Marquis of Qin has the ability to summon wind and rain, and turn beans into soldiers." Xi Zhicai looked at him deeply, "Since Marquis Qin was able to defeat Dian's guards, I think it is likely to be true."

Qin Fan laughed loudly, "Brother Xi, do you think I can call wind and rain, and cast beans into soldiers?"

Xi Zhicai naturally didn't believe it, "I don't believe it, but the guard Dian is the prime minister's number one expert, it's unbelievable that you can defeat him."

"It's not defeat." Qin Fan explained: "I just touched him with a wooden stick. Even if he loses, it's still very easy to win like this."

"No." Xi Zhicai shook his head, "If it were a weapon, Dian Wei would probably have died in battle, but you can't ignore your ability just because it's a wooden stick."

Qin Fan leaned closer to him, "Brother Xi, to be honest, ten of me are no match for Dian's guards, it's just that he's a fool."

Xi Zhicai looked strange.

Qin Fan didn't say much, and led him to the inn.

Xi Zhicai stopped and said, "In order to avoid people chasing me, I asked the guards to go around and find out the news."

Qin Fan let go of his arm, and led Guo Xiaotian and others upstairs.

The inn is old and almost deserted.

Seeing someone coming, he hurriedly said, "Are you staying at the hotel or eating?"

"Everything." Qin Fan said with a smile: "Bring up the well-made rooms and the best meals here. Money is not a problem."

"Okay, just wait a moment." The waiter looked at the number of them, then turned his head and entered the room.

Only then did Xi Zhi walk in, and Qin Fan waved at him.

"Have some food first, then go upstairs to rest, and we will continue to set off tomorrow."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly.

That night, Qin Fan and Xi Zhicai had a long talk.

Through the chat, Qin Fan knew that he really planned to work for him, but the condition was that he would not give any advice on the issue of Cao Cao.

Getting Xi Zhicai was already a pleasant surprise, so Qin Fan naturally wouldn't say much.

Early the next morning, the group continued on their way.

More than a month later, Shu County.

"Yuan Tan, let's see who I brought you." Qin Fan said loudly as soon as he entered the prefect's mansion.

On the way, I found out that Xi Zhicai actually knew Gu Yong, which undoubtedly made Qin Fan overjoyed.

He was still worrying about how to arrange Xi Zhicai.

"My lord?"

Gu Yong, Bu Zhi and the others were discussing things when they heard shouts outside and stood up together.

"My lord is back."

Several people hurried out of the room.

Gu Yong saw Qin Fan at a glance.

"Yuan Tan."

Qin Fan stepped forward and punched him in the chest.

"Master, you are back." Gu Yong looked Qin Fan up and down, with a smile on his face, and was about to speak when Qin Fan grabbed him.

"Let's not talk about anything else. I brought a great talent from Xuchang this time. You know him. Guess who it is?"

Gu Yong subconsciously looked behind him, but found no one.

"This?"

Gu Yong thought for a while, and said softly: "I have some classmates in Xuchang, and they all work under Cao Cao."

Qin Fan smiled and remained silent.

Gu Yong smiled wryly and said: "Speaking of great talents, I do have a few people in mind, but it's impossible for them to come, let me tell you, my lord, I really can't guess."

"It's someone you know very well."

Gu Yong thought hard, and there were several candidates, but when he thought about their positions under Cao Cao, he thought it was impossible.A moment of dilemma.

"My lord, don't embarrass Yuan Tan." Xi Zhicai let out a long laugh, and walked in from the side of the courtyard wall.

"Play Zhicai!"

Gu Yong's eyes widened, "Brother Xi, why is it you?"

Xi Zhicai pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why can't it be me?"

Gu Yong seemed to have seen a ghost, stepped forward a few steps, and touched him, "I know you are highly valued by Cao Cao's subordinates, so you shouldn't be."

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly and said, "It's not that you don't know about my illness, the lord gave me a second life, and this life is his, so I can't do without it."

Gu Yong laughed loudly, raised his arms and said, "Good job, my lord, I have always complained about you running around all day long, but now I realize that your trip is worth a lot. Haha."

Qin Fan rolled his eyes, "This is a small county, with so many talents from you, what things can't be handled well?"

Gu Yong laughed dryly, pulled Xi Zhicai into the room, and after introducing each of them to everyone, he said, "In the future, we will have top counselors in Lujiang. Even if Zhou Yu comes to commit crimes, why should we be afraid?"

"Zhou Yu?" Xi Zhicai said softly, "But there is a mistake in that song, Zhou Gongjin of Zhou Langgu?"

Bu Zhi smiled and said, "It's him. This man is not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful. He is really a rare opponent."

Qin Fan heard something wrong, and frowned, "Zhou Yu came to attack Lujiang?"

Gu Yong nodded, "After Sun Cexin was defeated, Zhou Yu was very capable this week. First, he quickly consolidated the defeated troops to allow Sun Ce to develop again. Then he attacked Yan Baihu in Wu County, and gained quite a lot. In just half a month, he captured all of his troops. "

Qin Fan nodded, Yan Baihu had an impression on him, and it would not be difficult for Zhou Yu to annex his troops.

"That's all right, but when he was attacking Yan Baihu, he had already sent someone to secretly join forces with Liu Biao to attack Lujiang and Yuzhang counties."

Qin Fan was shocked that Zhou Yu had such courage this week.

"Did they attack?"

"Zhou Yu has come to attack a few times, but Liu Biao has not yet. But Chen Bing is also on the border, I am afraid that he is waiting for an opportunity."

"Is there any loss?"

"Not yet," Gu Yong said with a smile, "General Xu has always been on the front line. It is reported that no one under Zhou Yu is his opponent."

Zhou Yu has many good generals under his command, but if he wants to fight alone, no one can match Xu Chu.

The arrival of Xi Zhicai gave Gu Yong a reassurance.

He jokingly said: "If my lord can attract some talents every time he goes out, why should we be unhappy in Lujiang?"

Everyone who said a word laughed.

That night, Gu Yong was so generous that he hosted a banquet in honor of Xi Zhicai's arrival, and washed him away.

What Qin Fan was speechless was that he actually became an accompanying guest, even though he had just come back.

During the dinner, Bu Zhi suddenly said to Qin Fan: "My lord, although it's been a small fight recently, we have produced a lot of generals, such as Xu Sheng, whom you recommended last time, who is brave in battle and has a very flexible mind. It's not him If he was here, I'm afraid that General Xu would have killed him long ago and lost the city."
