Chapter 149 The team is just formed, and the beauty by the Jiangshui is waiting for you
Zhu Han's words were full of infinite domineering and selfishness, but it was these words that were difficult for outsiders to accept, but it made Xi Zhicai's eyes light up, as if he had found a breath that made him feel a little moved.
"If I refuse, will you kill me?"
Xi Zhicai asked with a solemn expression.
People around him also looked at Zhu Han nervously, Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with anxiety, while Dian Wei and Guan Hai came to Xi Zhicai's side from left to right, as if waiting for Zhu Han's order.
"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
Zhu Han chuckled, looked at Xi Zhicai without hesitation, and replied: "We are all understanding people. Others may not know your ability, but I know it myself. Tell me, how can I let you go?
"
"The strong melon is not sweet!"
Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly and whispered: "What you do will only make me resent you. Even if you force me to stay, it will be a hidden danger for you!"
"It all depends on the person. If it's someone else, just leave, just like Yan Liang and the others. How have I ever made things difficult for them? But you are different! I would rather this thing rot in my hands than see the two of us become enemies in the future!"
"
Zhu Han replied seriously.
"Why?"
Xi Zhicai was a little touched. Zhu Han could do such a rogue behavior to him, which shows that his importance in Zhu Han's heart is not small. However, it doesn't feel good to be threatened face to face. It's Xi Zhicai.
Zhicai could guess that Zhu Han would do this, but he didn't expect that he would do it so brilliantly. If he left, he would die, but if he stayed, he would live.
"Only because you are a dramatist!"
Zhu Han chuckled, filled a glass of wine and handed it to Xi Zhicai, smiling and saying: "Drink it, and we will be close comrades-in-arms from now on. I can't guarantee anything else, but you will definitely have your name in Qingshi."
If you don't drink, we will be enemies after today, and I will send people to hunt you down early tomorrow morning!"
Although Zhu Han said it with a smile, his words made everyone present feel a slight chill. It seemed that if Xi Zhicai really walked out of this door, then Zhu Han would kill him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will be resentful? Will you be unable to do anything in the future? Or even join forces with outsiders to murder you? After all, what you are doing to me now is enough to make me make up my mind!"
Xi Zhicai is not afraid at all. This is also his final test for Zhu Han. If he does not have a firm heart, then no matter how talented he is, no matter how heroic and ambitious he is, it will be in vain.
"Sir, Ma Chuang sent someone to return forty war horses, and even the equipment!"
At this time, a guard came to report.
"That's too much!"
After hearing this, Dian Wei was furious and immediately asked Zhu Han for orders: "My lord, why don't you let me lead people to kill these ungrateful people!"
"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places! This is human nature! Dian Wei, you don't have to be angry. As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people who are poor. Today they look down on me.
Tomorrow I will make them unable to climb up!"
Zhu Han sneered and said.
"I didn't let you down, why would you let me down?"
When he heard that Ma Chuang had sent back the horses, Zhu Han felt very happy. He originally thought that these guys would take advantage of his horses. Now it seems that the hearts of Yan Liang and Ma Chuang are not too dark, but now he
The top priority is to retain Xi Zhicai. He looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "Look, even Yan Liang knows how to return the things that belong to me when he leaves, let alone you Xi Zhicai?"
"Thirty years in Hedong? Thirty years in Hexi? Don't bully young people into poverty!"
Zhu Han is usually kind to others, and sometimes he is calm and sometimes too eager to do things. Generally speaking, Zhu Han's ability is better than that of many young people. Even some older people may not be as good as him. This also makes Xi Zhicai subconsciously ignored his actual age. It was only after hearing these words that Xi Zhicai suddenly came back to his senses and secretly thought, his boss is only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he can With such achievements, I think when he was at this age, he was just a scholar studying everywhere, but Zhu Han had already become the leader of a county, with three hundred soldiers and several industries under his banner, showing a powerful A scene of prosperity.
If Liu Hao and others hadn't stopped him halfway, Xi Zhi would have dared to conclude that in less than three years, Zhu Han would be able to truly establish himself in Jizhou, and in less than ten years, he would be able to dwarf others. But things are unpredictable, and God always likes to follow. People are joking, just when Zhu Han was about to pick the fruits of victory in the first year, he was replaced by someone. If it were an ordinary person, he would have led people to kill him in the Yamen if he could not save it, but Zhu Han was able to calm down in an instant , and accepted the "crotch humiliation" from Liu Xu and others. This requires a person with great courage to do it. How many people in Jizhou can do this step of Zhu Han?
After thinking about it, a bold idea suddenly came to Xi Zhicai's mind. Maybe he could help Zhu Hanlong when he was trapped in the shallows. When Zhu Han flourished, Xi Zhicai would definitely have a place in the Zhu Group. If it was an ordinary recruitment of soldiers, Xi Zhicai would go with him, but Zhu Han was forced to go, and Liu Hao and others must have backup plans, which made Xi Zhicai start to hesitate and consider going. The pros and cons of this trip into troubled waters.
"Exactly, we are all still young. I am seventeen or eighteen years old, Wen Yuan is fifteen or sixteen years old, Dian Wei is twenty-two or three years old, Guan Hai is twenty-six or seven years old, and you are twenty-one or twelve years old. Even if you are so young, Even if you fail, you still have the chance to start over, so what’s the point of being afraid? The worst case scenario is that you’ll just have to start over again!”
Zhu Han took Xi Zhicai's hand and pleaded sincerely: "We have known each other for a few months. Although the time is short, we get along day and night. Don't you still believe in my character? Even if you can't trust me, you still can't. My own abilities? Or do you think that I, Zhu Han, have no chance of making a comeback?"
"That's it! At worst, we'll have to start over again!"
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, took the wine bottle from Zhu Han's hand, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will accompany Boyun to the north for a walk, and see with my own eyes how you turned into a bird, Boyun." Phoenix, the one that travels across the nine heavens!”
"Haha... I'll just say it!"
Zhu Han happily patted Xi Zhicai's arm and smiled excitedly: "We are a team, and no one can be without you Xi Zhicai. Just like what was said in Luoyang, now that you are on the It’s hard to get off this boat!”
"Oh? Since you, Boyun, cherish your talents so much, why don't you try to retain Yan Liang and Ma Chuang? These two people have extraordinary abilities and are powerful generals in the army. With their help, this trip north will be even more valuable. Guarantee!"
At this time, the knot in his heart was over, and Xi Zhi began to tease Zhu Han again.
"Them? You're unfamiliar with them. If they come to the banquet tonight and say goodbye in person like you, Zhicai, then I might consider trying to keep them, but... what does it mean to leave without saying goodbye? Who are you looking down on? No matter how talented this kind of person is, I won’t use him! Of course, I, Zhu Han, am not that difficult to get along with. If you want to find another job, just say it to your face. What’s wrong with me? Not only will I not be embarrassed, I will also sincerely bless you!"
As soon as these two people were mentioned, Zhu Han began to become a little irritable. After all, he spent too much energy on these two people. Although there was a deliberate intention to make friends during the period, Zhu Han asked himself that he had never
Although they had been treated badly, on the contrary, their actions made Zhu Han feel chilled.
"What about Pei Yuanshao?"
Xi Zhicai asked again.
"He? Maybe he is really heartbroken! He thinks I am a weak person!"
Zhu Han was stunned for a moment, and then sighed. Pei Yuanshao's departure had a great impact on him, even greater than Yan Liang's behavior. This was a sign that Pei Yuanshao had lost confidence in Zhu Han. As the owner, Zhu Han also
I can only silently wish this brother smooth sailing in the future.
"Are you a weak person then?"
Xi Zhicai asked.
"If you have worries in your heart, you will become your weakness!"
Zhu Han smiled bitterly.
"If you want to achieve great things, you can kill your closest relatives! Boyun, you still have a long way to go in the future!"
Xi Zhicai sighed and said.
"Can you do it?"
Zhu Han was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xi Zhicai to have such a thorough understanding of the character of those in power, so he immediately asked.
"No, so I can't become the master after all!"
Xi Zhicai said with a melancholy look on his face.
To be honest, Xi Zhicai's words were a bit harsh. As soon as he said them, the expressions of Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and others changed slightly, and the atmosphere became depressing again.
"Haha, as the saying goes, all roads lead to Luoyang. If the big road doesn't lead, let's just take the small road. There is no need to imitate our ancestors in everything. We must dare to innovate. How can people eat whole grains without emotions and six desires? I don't want to do it.
Being a heartless person, that would be too boring, I want to be a person with feelings."
Zhu Han also felt the difference in the atmosphere. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Okay, tonight is our last drink in Jingxian County and our first drink on the way north. Come on, drink up!"
"good!"
Everyone clenched their fists, raised their wine bottles, and drank with Zhu Han.
The next day, after Zhu Han said goodbye to his mother, he led the team out of the north gate to meet Ji Chou.
"That's right! It's an iron army!"
Looking at the neatly formed team behind Zhu Han, although there were 200 people who had just been recruited, it did not prevent Ji Chou from praising them. He was stroking his beard and smiling happily: "Look
Come on, that old guy Wang Fen has a good eye!"
"Marquis Zhu Han, meet the captain!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The team of more than 600 people followed Ji Chou's order and headed north.
When he arrived at the Jieshui River, Zhu Han saw Zhang Ning at the ferry after seeing him for a long time.
"Go! Boyun, just follow the last batch of sergeants across the river!"
Ji Cou could not see the change in Zhu Han's eyes. He patted Zhu Han on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your understanding!"
After Zhu Han punched Ji Chou, he ran to Zhang Ning and stared at him silently.
"I heard that you are going to fight in the north?"
Zhang Ning lowered his head and trembled a little.
"Yes, I dare not disobey the imperial court's order!"
Zhu Han replied softly.
"It's obvious that they are trying to trick you, but you can't tell at all?"
Zhang Ning suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhu Han with hazy eyes, and said angrily: "How about I ask dad to step in, so you don't have to leave!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I have to bear the trouble myself. I can't blame others! I don't want to involve others!"
Zhu Han said with a self-deprecating smile.
"But..."
Zhang Ning still wanted to speak, but Zhu Han reached out to stop him. He stared at Zhang Ning quietly for a long time, and then smiled and said: "If you can't trust my ability, then you should trust Guan Hai's ability, right?"
"
"Then...how long are you going to go?"
Zhang Ning blushed a little. She lowered her head again and asked in a low voice.
"It can be as short as one year or as long as several years. I will definitely come back!"
Zhu Han promised: "When I return to my hometown, that's when I will come to marry you."
