Although Diao Chan entered the mansion not long ago yesterday, through conversations with everyone, she already knew that this was the residence of a court official. His surname was Xu Mingkang, and he worked in Taiwei's mansion.

These are not the main things. The main thing is that Xu Kang is not Wang Yue's apprentice, nor is he his relative, nephew, and the reason why he is allowed to live here is just because everyone has a happy chat together. Speaking of which, Xu Kang is in the mansion.

Everyone living there has no blood relationship with Xu Kang. Even Xue Ker, who is closest to Xu Kang, is just his adopted sister.

However, these things have obviously been ignored by everyone here, but Diao Chan, who has just escaped from the palace, cannot ignore them.

In her opinion, Xu Kang's willingness to serve Wang Yue was already a great favor to her. How could she still move in and do nothing?

In order to express her gratitude and have a reason to stay in the future, when she saw Xu Kang coming back drunk, she took the initiative to cook a bowl of sobering soup for him.

This is a secret recipe she learned from the palace, so Diao Chan is very confident.

After learning about Xu Kang's dormitory from the maid, Diao Chan came over in person with some sobering soup. After all, when meeting for the first time, you always have to leave a good impression on the other person as a diligent person.

Knocking lightly on the door, the door opened.

Diao Chan took two steps forward and looked around, only to find a man sitting by the bed looking at her awkwardly.

Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person must be Xu Kang. She bowed quickly and said awkwardly: "I made a bowl of hangover soup for you to relieve your hangover." Seeing that Xu Kang didn't react at all, he just stared blankly.

Looking at herself, Diao Chan's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

It suddenly occurred to me that the other party was in a drunken state, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed at my lack of thinking. If Xu Kang couldn't control himself and behaved like a beast, even if he was very skilled in martial arts and could defeat him, it would be extremely embarrassing to meet him in the future.

But the hangover soup had been brought, so she couldn't just leave. She moved lightly, trying to put the soup bowl on the table and run away. However, she saw Xu Kang suddenly stood up and fell at her feet.

Shout out "Sister Fairy".

Diao Chan was already nervous, so she was frightened by this, so she smashed the bowl of hot soup without thinking. With a "clang", it hit Xu Kang on the back of the head, and the porcelain bowl shattered into pieces.

Diao Chan jumped back and was about to run away, but she found Xu Kang lying motionless on the ground. After all, she was a little worried, so she went back to check carefully, only to find that Xu Kang had passed out.

It's broken! I want to live in his house, who would have thought that I would knock the owner unconscious the moment they met. If others knew, how could I have the nerve to stay?

However, Diao Chan looked around and luckily no one saw her. She hurriedly cleaned up Xu Kang, moved him to the bed and put him away. Looking at Xu Kang sleeping soundly, she prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that he would be too drunk.

Don't remember what happened today. Then he ran away quietly.

In the morning, in order to avoid reminding Xu Kang's memory, Diao Chan had to hide behind the pillar outside the door, and only dared to show up after seeing him leave. Just listening to Xu Kang's words, it seemed that she could not remember what happened yesterday, and she couldn't help but

He breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Diao Chan is also a clever person. After everyone discovered the flaw in what he just said, he hurriedly made up for it: "That's it. Yesterday I went to deliver hangover soup, but I didn't know that he was already asleep. I couldn't disturb him, so I left.

They came out, so they don’t count as acquaintances.”

Everyone was stunned, and no one thought much about it. After all, it was the first time the two met yesterday, so what could happen?

After Xu Kang left the mansion, he went straight to Xu Jing's mansion. In Luoyang, among the important ministers Xu Kang made friends with, only Xu Jing and Cai Yong were the two.

Cai Yong is an upright person, and he probably doesn't have any good ideas about Zou Yuan. Relatively speaking, Xu Jing is a bit more diplomatic, and it's not certain that he might gain anything.

After Xu Jing listened to Xu Kang's narration, he frowned for a while and then asked, "What is the relationship between you and Zou Yuan?"

Xu Kang sighed and said, "Have I told you dozens of times? It's just a matter of meeting a few times."

"How many times have we met before you are willing to bear such a big disaster for her?"

"You have to be chivalrous as a person, and you can't just ignore someone's death."

After all, Xu Jing was also a scholar. He nodded and said, "It seems that Cai Yong taught you well and finally guided you to the right path."

Xu Kang rolled his eyes and said, "When did I take the evil path again?" However, seeing the joking look in Xu Jing's eyes, he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he said, "No matter what, you have to find a way."

Xu Jing said with a bitter face: "What can I do about this matter? It's just a trivial matter between two men who are jealous. Even those ministers who hate Dong Zhuo will not make a fuss about this issue."

Xu Kang thought the same thing and said fiercely: "If it doesn't work, I will kill Zhang Ji. If Dong Zhuo really favors him, at worst, I will follow Yuan Shao's example and leave Luoyang."

Xu Jing glared at him and said: "How can you learn from Yuan Shao? Dong Zhuo did not move against Yuan Shao because he had the support of the army himself. In addition, the Yuan family's influence in the local area was huge. Dong Zhuo was not sure that he would kill Yuan Shao.

After capturing Yuan Shao, I controlled the situation in the world and then allowed him to leave. Can you do that?"

Xu Kang remained silent.

Seeing this, Xu Jing sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will go find Cai Yong."

Xu Kang was stunned and said: "What are you looking for, Master?"

"Of course, go to him to beg Dong Zhuo, and be sure to suppress this matter. Otherwise, if you really confront the Liangzhou Army, your death will not be far away."

Xu Kang said gratefully: "Thank you very much, uncle."

"We are all a family, why are we talking about this?"

Xu Kang thought for a while and said: "Actually, through this incident, I feel that our Xu family's foundation is really too weak. It's just that a small captain in the Liangzhou Army has left us helpless."

Xu Jing thought for a while and sighed: "Then what do you want to do?"

Xu Kang said mysteriously: "When I was a Yellow Turban thief, I was chased by Huangfu Song. I once fled to Qiao County, Yuzhou. There was a Xu family fort there, which was a local tycoon. There were two brothers in the fort.

They are the talents of the generals, especially the second eldest son, Xu Chu, who is more courageous than anyone else. If we can take them for our own use, they will definitely be of great help to our Xu family."

When Xu Jing heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, he nodded and said: "This is indeed feasible, but how do you want to regain them?"

Xu Kang said with a smile: "It's very simple. Since their surname is Xu, they naturally recognize us as one family, so everyone will not distinguish each other, and they will naturally help us."

Xu Jing looked at Xu Kang with wide eyes and said, "You actually have such an idea?"

Xu Kang nodded and said cheerfully: "The current situation is in chaos. It is not as good as in the peaceful and prosperous times. Having a general to support us will also be of great benefit to our Xu family."

Xu Jing laughed dumbly and said: "If the eldest brother and the third brother know about this, they will definitely not agree. But who said that it is me who makes the decision in Luoyang now? You can just go on your own and I will support you."

Xu Kang was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Thank you very much, second uncle. Your kindness will be unforgettable to my nephew."
