Mi Zhu was the only one left in the empty yard, sitting blankly on the steps, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. The alliance with Liu Bei failed, her sister ran away with others, and her second brother was also scolded away. Could it be that the Mi family is about to
Will it be ruined in his hands? After pondering for a long time, he made up his mind. After several generations of hard work, the Mi family started from a small inn and reached its current scale and strength. It must not be ruined by his own hands.
I went back to the study, grabbed something, and hurried out the door.
The people in Pengcheng did not know the news about Cao Cao's garrison in the city. Everyone was still living their own lives, taking to the streets when it was time to go, and rushing when it was time to go. There has not been any major turmoil in Xuzhou in recent years. Tao Qian's management
It's not that harsh, and people's lives are generally much more stable than in other places in the Central Plains. There are large and small inns and pubs on both sides of the streets, and there are also two rows of hawkers doing business.
"Ouch! Master Mi, you haven't been here for a long time! Please come inside!" The waiter in the VIP Building saw Mi Zhu standing at the door and hurriedly came forward to greet him. The name is VIP Building, but the guests did not feel at home when they arrived here. The VIP Building's
The price puts many people away, the food inside is not delicious, and everyone from the waiter to the waiter has a bad temper. Therefore, the business here is very light.
I don’t know why, but Mi Zhu has a special liking for this place. Maybe it’s because of the dragon-patterned screen in the middle of the lobby of the VIP building. Every time Mi Zhu comes here, he feels extra peaceful. He glances at the lobby,
There were only a few people there as usual. An elderly shopkeeper was busy settling accounts. Mi Zhu ordered the waiter to lead Mi Zhu to a private room.
"Is your boss here?" Mi Zhu said as he casually placed the thing in his palm on the table.
The waiter glanced at it and quickly replied: "Yes! I'll call you right away!"
The head of the VIP building is a fat man, at most 1.6 meters tall and no more than 230 pounds. He has a big belly and round waist, and the flesh on his face is drooping down, squeezing his eyes into slits.
Hearing the heavy footsteps, Mi Zhu guessed that he was coming. The head of the house seemed to be walking a little more hastily, and he was out of breath when he spoke: "Your Excellency is here, but I am not welcome from afar, so I go to make atonement for my sins!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I have business with you!" Mi Zhu looked at the short winter melon in front of him with a serious expression.
The waiter wisely exited and closed the door. The head of the VIP building quickly knelt down and saluted. Mi Zhu looked at him and did not move. When the head of the house finished kowtow, Mi Zhu said no courtesy. Mi Zhu took out his dragon pattern.
He handed the jade pendant to the head: "How many people do you have under your command?"
"There are seven or eight more! How come you are useful to me?"
"How skilled are they?"
"not bad!"
Mi Zhu nodded: "Keep them, I will be of great use!"
"promise!"
Long Fei had just returned with Mi Huan and had not yet figured out how to arrange them. Mi Fang came. Long Fei thought he was here to pick someone up, so he asked Xu Chu to block Mi Fang from the door. Mi Fang explained again and again before being let go.
He came in. When he saw Long Fei, he smiled slightly and said, "Hey! I am also being kicked out now! Will General Long save me too?"
They were staying in an inn, and it was a simple matter to settle someone down. However, Mi Huan was a girl and needed too many miscellaneous things. She didn't bring anything with her when she went out, so she had to buy it from the street. It took two full days.
Long Fei personally accompanied the eldest lady to prepare the things a woman needs. In the past two days, Long Fei had a new view on women. When it came to shopping, ancient women were as famous as modern women.
It has been more than half a month since I came to Pengcheng. Judging from the current situation, it is not as smooth as expected. The relationship in Xuzhou is complicated and the structure is wonderful, but I still can't master the secrets. On the surface, Chen Gui and his son are still loyal to Tao Qian.
Zang Ba and Cao Bao were independent and rarely expressed their opinions. Mi Zhu and Liu Bei's alliance was inevitable. In such a difficult environment, Long Fei didn't know where to start.
Long Fei was somewhat surprised by Chen Gui and Chen Deng's visit. He even expected that these two people would come to his side. In order to win over Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, Long Fei tried his best to win over Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son, giving banquets and giving money.
, visited, and even promised that Xuzhou could be given to the Chen family as long as they listened to him. Long Fei had already prepared a blank imperial edict. As long as Chen Gui nodded and wrote on it, it would take effect. But Chen Gui always shook his head and refused to talk about it.
The problem made Long Fei a little passive.
Today, Chen Gui and his son came to the door, and Long Fei hurriedly came out to greet him. The inn was originally a place where people came and went, and Chen Gui and his son were also considered celebrities in Pengcheng. Due to this commotion, all the people present knew Long Fei's identity. Some people even turned around.
I have to kneel down to worship, which is a bit embarrassing.
Chen Gui stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "I heard that the general abducted Miss Mi's family?"
"Masters also tell such jokes!" Long Fei felt that these words were a bit harsh: "It's just that Miss Mi is staying with me temporarily! How can you say that she ran away!"
"Hahaha!" Chen Gui said with a smile: "Whether he was abducted or staying temporarily, General Long should be more careful. Mi Zhizhong is not the kind of powerless scholar that the general imagined. Duo Duo
careful!"
"how do I say this?"
"I'm just guessing! Whether you listen or not depends entirely on the general!"
Of course Long Fei knew the details of Mi Zhu, but from what Chen Gui said, it seemed that Mi Zhu was going to take action against him, but how did Chen Gui know about this news? After thinking about it, he felt calm. The Chen family was powerful, and there were conflicts between the families.
The struggle has been going on for a long time, and Mi Zhu’s little trick could never be hidden from Chen Gui, an old fox. Everyone talked about other things, and Chen Gui and his son left. There was only one possibility for Chen Gui to reveal such news to himself. Chen Gui thought
After getting a share of the chaos in Xuzhou, Long Fei naturally helped him and told Chen Gui about Liu Bei's affairs. He believed that Chen Gui was old and cunning and would definitely understand what he meant.
After sending Chen Gui away, Long Fei called Dian Wei and Xu Chu over and asked them to pay more attention in the past few days to avoid accidents. While making arrangements, Chen Dao, Cao Song and Cao Jie unexpectedly came to Pengcheng. Long Fei
He was a little angry. Cao Song hurriedly said: "General, don't blame others. I want to see the general and have something to say to him!"
On the one hand, people have already arrived, and on the other hand, Cao Song is Cao Jie's grandfather. For Cao Jie's sake, he can't go too far. After Cao Jie was settled, Long Fei came to see Cao Song. Cao Song sighed:
"I know that the general placed us in Jiugong Mountain for our safety. After living here for these days, we are still homesick. I beg the general to let us go back to our hometown in Qiao County. Don't worry, general. I will definitely advise Aman to cooperate sincerely with the general.
Support the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Song said it nicely, but Long Fei didn't hear a word from his heart in these words. He smiled slightly: "Boss, you and I are both smart people, why do we need to do such unnecessary things? As long as you persuade Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, I will
Let you go immediately!"
"Aman has been stubborn since he was a child, how could he listen to me!"
"Then you can't blame me!" Long Fei spread his hands: "My condition is very simple. I just want to keep Xuzhou. This Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian once served as an official in the same court as the boss, so the boss can watch him helplessly.
Die at the hands of your son?"
Cao Song stopped talking. He was now living under someone else's roof. Even his life and death were in the hands of others, let alone anything else. Long Fei changed the subject and said, "You are always Cao Jie's grandfather, and you are also my grandfather. Don't worry.
, it is absolutely safe here with me, and what else? As long as Cao Cao does not attack Xuzhou within a year, I can let you go back! How about it?"
Cao Song didn't agree and had no choice but to stand up and thank him. As soon as he stood up, he felt something hit his back hard, and a heartbreaking pain quickly spread throughout his body. At the same time, Dian Wei heard from outside the room.
roared: "Catch him, don't let him escape!"
Chen Dao and Xu Chu rushed into the room and saw that Long Fei was fine. They were relieved a little. Cao Song's eyes widened and he slowly fell into Long Fei's arms. Looking at the arrow on Cao Song's back, Long Fei
Understanding that Cao Song had blocked an arrow for him, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I want to live. I want to know who the mastermind is?"
Xu Chu agreed and went out. Chen Dao was a little at a loss. Cao Song was brought by himself and died just after arriving. How should he explain this to Long Fei? When Cao Jie learned about the situation here, he ignored Mi Huan's advice.
, rushed over and fell on his grandfather, crying like a man in tears. Long Fei hugged Cao Jie and comforted him: "Don't worry, your grandfather blocked an arrow for me. I, Long Fei, will avenge this. Let them
Pay it back tenfold!”
Dian Wei and Xu Chu carried a man in black in. A soldier behind him was holding a bow with a broken string. The man was beaten badly, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was thrown to the ground without moving. Xu Chu clasped his fists and said: "General
, this person is the guard of Xuzhou Prefectural Mufu!"
"Tao Qian?" Long Fei snorted coldly: "Do you have any allies?"
Xu Chu shook his head: "No, he is the only one. He is said to have been sent by Tao Qian to assassinate the general."
"And this!" Dian Wei took out a small piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Long Fei: "I found it on this kid!"
When Chen Dao saw it, the inexplicable fear hidden deep in his heart immediately surged into his heart. Long Fei only glanced at it and put it away: "Take him down and take good care of him. I want to talk to Tao Qian!"
"
Tao Qian was greatly surprised. How could his bodyguard assassinate Long Fei and accidentally kill Cao Cao's father, Cao Song. This not only offended Long Fei, but also gave Cao Cao the best excuse to attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian sat down paralyzed
In his seat, his teeth were chattering, and he didn't know what to say: "General Long, I misunderstood! I don't know about this!"
"This person is a guard of the Zhou Mu Mansion. I caught him on the spot. Tao Zhou Mu, you must give me an explanation for this matter!" Long Fei turned his face and saw Mi Zhu on the opposite side with his eyes slightly closed and his brows furrowed, as if he was worried.
