"Are all Prime Minister Cao's envoys so independent?"
Liu Ye said this half-jokingly, which actually made Zhao Xue recognize his courage a little bit.
Zhao Xue did not answer Liu Ye's words, but said straight to the point: "I am here to discuss important matters."
"Haha..." Liu Ye couldn't help but smile and said: "Since we have important matters to discuss, Ye would better advise the girl to close the study door first."
Liu Ye is a scholar. Although he also knows some swordsmanship for self-defense, facing a quasi-first-class master like Zhao Xue, what he knows is nothing more than the three-legged cat kung fu.
I’m not afraid that Liu Ye will do something,
Zhao Xue turned around and struck with the long sword in her hand. The door to the study room that she had opened half before was now closed with a sound.
The moment Zhao Xue turned around to close the door, Liu Ye stood up suddenly and tried to go to and take down the long sword hanging next to the bookshelf.
But after being stared at by Zhao Xue with murderous eyes, Liu Ye sat back obediently and said calmly: "I just want to give it a try... It seems,
It really doesn’t work well for Tongha…”
Zhao Xue stared at Liu Ye coldly and said, "If I wanted to kill you, your body would probably be cold by now."
"Yes, it's Meng Lang." Liu Ye replied generously, as if he was admitting a small mistake.
After waiting for a moment, seeing that Zhao Xue did not continue speaking, Liu Ye took the initiative and asked: "I think she is not the envoy of Prime Minister Cao, right?"
Zhao Xue was still silent, so Liu Ye continued: "The girl has excellent martial arts skills and a murderous aura. She is more like an assassin or a killer than a messenger.
Let me take a bold guess...
Every time Prime Minister Cao acts, he can always anticipate the enemy's opportunities, so he should have a very powerful intelligence organization under his command.
Generally speaking, the people responsible for collecting intelligence in these organizations have excellent skills. I think the girl should be the leader in Prime Minister Cao's organization, right?"
"Sometimes if you know too much, you will die faster!" Zhao Xue replied in a cold tone.
Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Just say something. I'm afraid you'll kill me without saying anything..."
But Zhao Xue continued, "But you only guessed half of it right."
"Eh?" Liu Ye was stunned when he heard this, and when he guessed wrong?
Liu Ye became interested immediately, pointed to the cushions and table not far away and said: "I know the purpose of the girl's visit. If you don't mind, please sit down and talk..."
Zhao Xue was not polite. Facing a scholar, she really had nothing to fear.
"Please tell me, girl, where did you guess wrong?"
"I am indeed a member of a special organization, but I am not under Prime Minister Cao, but under the current Hussars General Lu Yan."
"Isn't Lu Qiaoqi also under the command of Prime Minister Cao? How..." When Liu Ye said this, his heart suddenly moved, "Could it be..."
"Sir and Prime Minister Cao are close friends. They are friends and cooperate, not a master-slave relationship." Although he hesitated, Zhao Xue still told the relationship between Lu Yan and Cao Cao.
Gu Jun
Mainly because Lu Yan once said that Liu Ye's heart was toward Cao Ying, and she was very sure that she could win Liu Ye over, so she didn't have too many reservations about him.
After hearing Zhao Xue reveal the relationship between Lu Yan and Cao Cao, Liu Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised, "As far as I know, when Prime Minister Cao started his army from Chenliu, Lu Qiaoqi has been following him... If they were not in a master-slave relationship, Then why did Lu Xiuqi help Prime Minister Cao so much? You know, with Lu Xiuqi’s strength, even if he can stand on his own..."
It’s not easy to continue what he said next, as it would appear that he, Liu Ye, was trying to sow discord.
"Actually, we have asked similar questions before..."
"How do Lu Qiaoqi answer?" Liu Ye felt that his soul of gossip was burning.
"Master said that the person who can pacify the world the fastest, Cao Cheng should be the number one; and the person who has the courage and ability to break the monopoly of the family, I am afraid that the only person in the world is Prime Minister Cao."
Liu Ye was stunned... He was optimistic about Cao Cao because Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and had the final initiative.
And what about Lu Yan? When he got together with Cao Cao, it was when Cao Cao had just started his army! At the beginning of the army, Lu Yan had already seen how extraordinary Cao Cao was... Compared with himself, Liu Yan Ye couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "I'm not as good as Lu Qiaoqi..."
Zhao Xue saw that Liu Ye was a little disappointed, so she comforted him: "You don't have to be disappointed, there is no one in this world who can compare with Mr."
"..." Liu Ye laughed dumbly and thought to himself: "Your comfort is quite interesting..."
After the two of them started talking, the atmosphere finally became less tense than before.
Zhao Xue returned to the topic and told Liu Ye her ultimate purpose: "I am here to invite you to join us." At the end, Zhao Xue added: "Sir, he said that you know things like a god and your heart is towards Cao Cao. camp..."
"It's true again! This Lu Yan is so scary!" Liu Ye sighed inwardly.
However, he has indeed been optimistic about Cao Cao for a long time, and joining Cao Cao's camp is something he has always wanted to do but has not been able to do for the time being.
"I am flattered by Lu Xiuqi's praise...!" After pondering for a moment, Liu Ye suddenly asked with a hint of teasing: "I'm just a little confused. I don't know whether I should join Lu Xiuqi or Prime Minister Cao?"
Zhao Xue, however, did not mean to be joking at all, and asked instead: "Are you doing it to make great contributions and leave a name in history, or do you want to do something practical for the common people of the Han Dynasty?"
This question left Liu Ye a little confused as to how to answer.
If he said that he wholeheartedly served the people, it would definitely be a lie... He Liu Ye went crazy and died because he was not allowed to be reused in history. It can be seen that in his heart he still wanted to be in a high position and achieve a career.
But if you say that you just want to make contributions and leave a name in history, it would seem too utilitarian...
Seeing that Liu Ye was silent for a long time, Zhao Xue thought that he might not understand what she meant, so she explained: "Sir, he is indifferent to fame and wealth. Apart from helping the common people, he is not very interested in other things..."
"It's no wonder that Lu Yan and Cao Cao have been able to cooperate to this day." Liu Ye suddenly realized and thought to himself: "It turns out that Lu Yan doesn't like fame and fortune. There is no conflict of interest between him and Cao Cao. No wonder they can cooperate so closely!"
"Lu Qiaoqi wholeheartedly serves the people, and Liu really admires him." Liu Ye stood up, bowed his hands in the direction of Xuchang, and continued: "So, Ye chose to join Prime Minister Cao!"
"That's it..." Zhao Xue was stunned when he heard this, and said, "That's fine..."
She thought Liu Ye was going to choose Lu Yan, but it turned out to be a 180-degree turn.
However, this Liu Ye is quite frank, and does not have the stinking habit of most literati who hides and likes to show off.
