Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Youyou sighed, Zhou Yu didn't know the importance of improving himself as soon as possible, but then again, if he knew how to reach the level of the other party, why would he wait here for Zhou Zhong's next words?

I'm afraid it has already been put into practice!

Zhou Zhong, on the other hand, showed an expression of calmness, and then continued:

"Yu'er, I will teach you a lesson today, which you have never imagined."

"You are too smart and excellent, so you have never needed to work with others. At most, other people are attached to you and have a relationship with you."

"You must know that sometimes, with the help of others, people can do many things that they cannot do alone."

"And this kind of relationship is called cooperation."

He glanced at Zhou Yu meaningfully, and then Zhou Zhong clapped his hands, and put his eyes on the deepest part of the alley in the distance, in the blurry shadow.

……

"Okay, now it's your turn to play."

"Come out."

……

"Who is there!"

Two voices sounded in the alley almost in tandem. Zhou Zhong's voice was calm and flat, as if he had taken everything into his own hands.

Immediately following his voice came Zhou Yu's nervous, youthful voice.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhong clapped his hands just now that he was suddenly surprised to find that there was a man in black standing in the deepest part of the alley in the distance from the beginning to the end.

The other party had been hiding the sound of breathing within Zhou Yu's breathing sound during the previous exchanges between the two, which made Zhou Yu, who had reached the level of a third-rate general, unaware of his existence.

When the voice and figure are blocked, it is impossible to find such a person with the vigilance of most people.

Before Zhou Yu could be surprised, he saw the black shadow approaching him in a few steps, and at the same time, a voice that could not be distinguished from a man or a woman came over at the same time.

"Hehe, it's really a touching scene..."

"If I could have received such a teaching back then, how could I have embarked on the path I am today?"

Seeing that the black figure was emaciated and his voice was a little erratic, Zhou Yu only felt chills.

Although he didn't know who this person was, or even whether this guy was a man or a woman, he subconsciously felt that this person must be a man, and that this feigned woman's posture must have ulterior motives.

This even made his vigilance, which was already a little frightened, increase a lot again.

But just when he was about to ask about the origin of the other party, and even ready to draw his sword to face each other at any time, the figure came to his side first, and his eyes like a poisonous tongue locked tightly on Zhou Yu's face.

……

"You—are you Zhou Yu?"

"Hehehe, not to mention pretty good-looking, it's kind of interesting, no wonder the son of Rang is so afraid of you..."

……

There is no doubt that this person is the man in black who appeared at He Jin's mansion that night.

After he received the order from He Jin, he traveled all the way south day and night, and finally arrived at Lujiang County a few days ago, and managed to meet Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the target of his trip, as he wished.

It's just that Zhou Yu didn't know the origin of this person at this time. After hearing that Zhang Yan was mentioned by the other party, he pulled out his sword with a "clang" as if he was on guard, and pointed the tip of the sword at the bridge of the other's nose.

……

"Who are you! What is your relationship with him, and how do you know about our affairs?"

After asking three questions in a row, Zhou Yu's eyebrows were tightly knit together at the moment.

He naturally knew that the man in black probably had something to do with his uncle, but it was already late at night, and the man was dressed in black, so he couldn't help feeling vigilant.

After the two of them looked at each other for a long time, Zhou Yu's goosebumps arose from the weird smile of the man in black, and Zhou Zhong's voice came in from behind him.

"Okay, don't worry, Yu'er, this is a guest of our Zhou family."

An old figure walked out from behind Zhou Yu, then stood between the two, and began to introduce each other's background to Zhou Yu.

……

"Yu'er, this is the current enshrinement of General He's mansion. He just came to our Lujiang territory a few days ago, and now he lives in Shu County."

"According to what the other party said, the main purpose of his going south to Lujiang this time was to come to find you, but he couldn't wait for a few days. In addition, you didn't come back during the Chinese New Year. I guess you should Here, I will bring him with me to find you."

"Remember what I said, as long as someone helps, that person can easily do things that he can't do alone."

"Next, it's up to you."

Taking a meaningful look at Zhou Yu, Zhou Zhong didn't know whether he was avoiding suspicion or what, so he walked back to the restaurant with three steps, and left Zhou Yu and the other party in the alley.

Unlike that person who looked at Zhou Yu full of curiosity, Zhou Yu's heart is full of questions at this moment:

"He Jin's people?"

"He Jin and I have never met before, why would he send someone to come to Lujiang to look for me??"

Chapter 7 Under Zhou Yu's Change

"You don't need to be nervous. Although we haven't met before, I have heard about you and know that you are very famous in Jiangdong."

"If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have found you either."

Staring at the young man in front of him with great interest, the man in black said softly to Zhou Yu.

He didn't play tricks like others, but he directly showed his intention of coming.

"Zhou Gongjin, right? I won't gossip. Thinking about what your uncle said just now, you know where I come from."

"I came to Lujiang to look for you today on the orders of General He. The General wants to recruit you as Sima in the mansion, to advise him specifically, and to serve as the marching staff for his generals."

"You also said just now that if your own background conditions are not enough, many things will be fruitless even if you work hard... But now, if you have the help of the general, I think you want to gain strength, even more than that. The servant's son, it's not like there's no chance."

"Of course, we will only provide you with a threshold and a springboard. How far you can really go depends on your own ability."

"Just thinking about it, you, a young generation who is also somewhat famous in Jiangdong, shouldn't be the kind of idiot with empty reputation?"

There was a bit of yin and yang in his tone. The man in black first made it clear what he wanted to do, and then he seemed to be afraid that Zhou Yu would not agree, and he could use words to squeeze the other party for a while.

It's just that the rather clumsy aggressive method didn't play any role at all.

Don't say it's an angry retort, Zhou Yu looked at him with calm eyes, and he didn't even show the slightest emotional fluctuation because of his words.

……

"Army Sima?"

"Is it just the military Sima?"

A flat voice came from Zhou Yu's mouth, and the man in black was a little surprised to find that the other party didn't show any enthusiasm for official positions like his peers, and he didn't feel complacent just because he got the attention of a powerful minister. Man, on the contrary, he looked a little dull, and he didn't forget to bargain with him.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu's evaluation in his heart suddenly became much higher, which also made him put away his contempt.

After pondering for a few seconds, the man in black took advantage of the fact that there were no other people around, and showed He Jin the bargaining chips He Jin had given him.

"Of course it's not just one army Sima."

……

Shaking his head slightly towards Zhou Yu, the man in black then said:

"Army Sima is just the beginning. As long as you become the guest minister of General He's house, you can follow the general to participate in some foreign military operations as a retainer. Even if you don't have a military position in Dahan, you can still dispatch troops. Will, establish meritorious deeds."

"After you have established enough meritorious service, we can advise the Holy One to promote you to a lieutenant or general who actually leads the army. After this step, you can lead the army alone."

"If your ability is really worthy of the name, then one day in the future, it is not impossible for you to become a celebrity like Zhang Yan by relying on your own merits."

Taking a deep breath, the man in black stared into Zhou Yu's eyes.It wasn't until a moment passed that his eyes were a little sour, and then he exhaled the turbid air, and his eyes became full of meaning.

"Sun Jian, you know, he, and Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, all rely on their military merits to become a marquis, and they also won territory and an army... What they can do, how can you not do it?"

I don't know whether this sentence is praising the other party's ability or simply touting it. The current attitude of the man in black is much better than the indifferent look before.

And Zhou Yu didn't go too far. Since the other party gave him face, he naturally nodded, and then asked the man in black:

"Okay, then I get it. But there is no free pie in the sky. If you help me like this, what do you need me to do?"

"To be loyal to you, to help you fight against your political opponents, or... do you want to train me to be that Zhang Yan's opponent to limit him, so that he has no time to care about him?"

Frowning slightly, it can be said that the conflict between General He Jin and Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang is almost known to the world.

Even though it is located in the remote Jiangdong area, since Zhou Yu's father served as the Luoyang Commander in Luoyang City, he can be regarded as a "Beijing official" in a sense, so Zhou Yu has heard about the confrontation between the two for a long time. .

Now that He Jin chooses to help himself in this way, Zhou Yu will naturally not take it for granted that his talent has convinced the other party, making him willing to pave the way for his future.

If his guess is correct, compared to Zhou Yu's talent and fame, He Jin probably values ​​the invisible conflict between him and Zhang Yan more.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is an ally. Zhang Yan, as a powerful minister of the eunuchs, was undoubtedly born to stand on the opposite side of He Jin.

And myself... who can barely be regarded as having conflicts with the other party, has a good chance of becoming He Jin's so-called ally, or a free move manipulated by him.

Such speculation made Zhou Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

You must know that not everyone can accept themselves as a pawn to be manipulated by others.

Especially for Zhou Yu, one of the few intelligent young people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such an experience made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But then again, he really needs the help of the other party now.

Whether it is used or supported, power is always real.

As long as he can take advantage of the east wind this time, it is not very important to him for what purpose He Jin helps him.

Zhou Yu, who has always acted according to his own inner thoughts and never succumbed to reality, let go of his inner emotions rarely this time, and truly judged the choice in front of him from the perspective of pure interests.

……

"Haha, you are just a child, what will we force you to do?"

"General He just recognized your talent and learning. Don't think too much, just do things according to your own inner thoughts. We will not forcefully interfere with you."

"As for adding chaos to Zhang Yan...we haven't said that. But if you want to, it's not impossible to consider."

Laughing and laughing, the man in black just took Zhou Yu's question and didn't answer directly.

It's just that only children would choose to believe what he said.

That kind of hypocritical rhetoric made Zhou Yu resist from the bottom of his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it.
