Xi Zhicai touched the bridge of his nose. He couldn't bear Lu Xuan's words, so he forced himself to smile and said: "A loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a loyal woman will not serve two husbands. I accept the kindness of Governor Lu with my heart. I have already served the Lord."
, it will not change again, please forgive me, Prefect Lu."
Lu Xuan waved his sleeves and said as if he didn't care, "Mr. Xi, you are wrong."
Xi Zhicai was stunned?
am I wrong?
I am loyal to my lord. This is a sign of loyalty, so it should be right.
Lu Xuan said: "Students should look at things from both sides. For those who are capable, I think betrayal is nothing. No one will care about your past, because a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master."
.”
"For those who are incompetent, that is betrayal, that is shameless, that is killing a thousand swords. So Mr. Xi must not feel any psychological burden when he betrays Cao Cao, even if it is betrayal."
"Don't worry, as long as you submit to me, I will immediately arrange for people to go to Yanzhou and quietly bring your family members. Cao Cao is known as the courtesy corporal. If you want to follow me, if Cao Cao blocks it, who will dare to serve for him?"
"How shameless does he still want to be?"
"The chaos in the world has just begun. Cao Cao is almost forty years old. He has lived for half his life and is very old. If you wait another ten years, maybe Cao Cao will die. But look at me, I am very young. Just from the age, you
You should also follow me."
Lu Xuan looked urgent and said: "A great talent like Mr. Xi should follow me. There is no future for following Cao Cao, a shameless person with a thick face and a dark heart. Of course, don't worry, I won't force you. If you don't want to
, and I won’t send anyone to hunt you down.”
Xi Zhicai couldn't keep up with the rhythm for a while.
He was a little helpless.
Lu Xuan's tongue-in-cheek remarks made it difficult for him to resist.
He was even more helpless.
Lu Xuan said that his lord was shameless, with a thick face and a dark heart. But he felt that Lu Xuan, a young man of such a young age, was the real shameless one, with a thick face and a dark heart, and he could spit out fragrance when he opened his mouth.
He was a little worried. If Lu Xuan said he would not pursue him, was it a threat, or was he really not pursuing him?
Zhou Yu was ecstatic when he saw Xi Zhicai's expression.
Deserve it!
Make you want to anger the lord.
Zhou Yu directly added fuel to the fire and said: "My lord, in my opinion, Mr. Xi will definitely be loyal to Cao Cao and will not betray him. Let's just kill him to fulfill his loyalty and cut off one of Cao Cao's arms."
Lu Xuan frowned and waved his hand: "Gong Jin, why do you say that? The betrayal of a scholar is not a betrayal. I believe that Mr. Xi is a smart man and will definitely choose the best choice. A good bird chooses its wood.
Habitat, it’s not difficult!”
Xi Zhicai felt helpless.
You only play double act, so why bother?
Xi Zhicai felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should not have deliberately exposed Lu Xuan to observe Lu Xuan. Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot.
Lu Xuan is shameless and too difficult to deal with.
If it was a shameless person like Yuan Shao, it would be easy to deal with it, but I am afraid of a shameless person like Lu Xuan who has a dark heart.
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath, calmed down his heart that was about to burst, and said solemnly: "Prefect Lu, I am loyal to my lord and unswervingly determined. Without my lord, I, Xi Zhicai, would not be where I am now. Please forgive me, Prefect Lu."
"Alas...what a pity."
Lu Xuan shook his head, looking regretful.
Xi Zhicai stopped talking in circles and seized the opportunity and said quickly: "I came to Shu County to meet Governor Lu this time on behalf of the marriage between my lord and Governor Lu."
Marriage?
Lu Xuan never thought about this at all.
In Lu Xuan's judgment, Cao Cao arranged for people to come to Shu County to contact him, maybe to show his favor, or maybe to stabilize Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan even considered that Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai to mediate between him and Yuan Shu.
Contradictory, I hope Lu Xuan will not attack Yuan Shu.
The current marriage request is surprising.
Lu Xuan didn't rush to ask. He thought about it for a while and then asked: "Mr. Xi, how do you want to marry Mr. Cao?"
Xi Zhicai was relieved when he saw that Lu Xuan was not stalking him, and he quickly said: "My lord has a daughter, Cao Xian, who is twenty-eight years old, which is the right age for marriage. My lord plans to marry Cao Xian to Lu
Prefect, the two parties are married, we are each other's allies, and we are here to help each other. What do you think, Prefect Lu?"
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
This is a good thing.
He has never been a money-grubbing person, and he has never cared about women or anything like that.
What he cares about is the marriage between the two parties.
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and said directly: "I, Lu Xuan, can't thank you enough for Duke Cao's appreciation. I have always heard that Duke Cao is upright and upright, and it is indeed the case now. When all the officials were afraid of Dong Zhuo, Duke Cao dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone.
, unparalleled in loyalty and courage."
"When Yanzhou was in turmoil, Duke Cao brought order to things and calmed the people. He was a capable minister. It is my honor, Lu Xuan, to be married to a man like Duke Cao who is open-minded, courteous, loyal, and kind."
"Gong Cao, you are really my good father-in-law."
Lu Xuan's eyes were a little urgent and he said, "I agree to this marriage."
Xi Zhicai tightened his hand on his beard and suddenly tore off a beard. He pursed his mouth in pain and winced again.
Lu Xuan is talking about a good father-in-law!
Moreover, they said that the lord was open-minded, courteous, loyal, and kind. But before, who said that the lord killed people at every turn, massacred the city, was capricious, and killed innocent people indiscriminately?
He somewhat regretted the marriage.
This marriage seems to have been entrusted to someone else. Cao Xian married Lu Xuan, a man with a thick face and a dark heart. I am afraid that he could not get the slightest advantage. It is almost impossible to get benefits from a person like Lu Xuan who has nothing to lose.
Taking advantage of Lu Xuan is even harder!
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said: "Since Governor Lu has agreed, when I return to Yanzhou, he will arrange for someone to send me off and send Cao Xian to Lujiang County as soon as possible."
Lu Xuandao: "Mr. Xi, if you have figured it out and are willing to work for me, you can go south with the bride-to-be. With Mr. Xi's advice, I will be fully confident in capturing the entire Yangzhou."
Xi Zhicai now has no idea what Lu Xuan is thinking. He doesn't know whether Lu Xuan's words are true or false?
Faced with Lu Xuan's enthusiasm, Xi Zhicai said perfunctorily: "I appreciate Governor Lu's kindness. Since everything is over, I will set off back to Yanzhou and report to the lord."
Lu Xuan frowned and said forcefully: "When a great talent like Mr. Xi comes to Shu County, I must fulfill my duties as a landlord. Otherwise, my reputation as Corporal Lu Xuan Lixian will appear to be in vain. Mr. Xi, don't do anything."
I said, you must give me this face."
He had a cold face and looked angry.
Xi Zhicai saw Lu Xuan's expression and was about to leave. Seeing Lu Xuan's "sincere" look, he swallowed it back and could only agree.
Lu Xuan called Zhang Zhao, Li Qian, Zhao Gui, Tai Shi Ci, Mi Fang and others to practice Zhicai together. There were many people attending the banquet, and Zhang Zhao, Li Qian, Zhao Gui and others kept toasting.
The toasts came one after another, and Xi Zhicai couldn't resist them at all.
Especially Mi Fang, he is good at dancing, good at toasting words, and has a set of toasting methods. After a while, he will have another glass of wine, and then he will toast one after another. During the banquet, Xi Zhicai did not know how much wine he drank.
The key thing is to drink Feixian wine.
Xi Zhicai drank so much that he vomited on the spot, and finally fell to the ground completely drunk.
When Xi Zhicai woke up, it was already the next day. He opened his eyes, groaned, looked at the shaky bed, and shook his head. His head was still buzzing. There was even more burning in his stomach.
I feel like my body is soft and very uncomfortable.
Xi Zhicai is also good at drinking, and he likes drinking more. But this time, he really failed when faced with Lu Xuan's toast.
Crunch!
The door was pushed open.
Xi Zhi then looked up and saw Lu Xuan coming. His heart trembled and he said, "Prefect Lu."
Lu Xuan's face was filled with a bright smile, and he said happily: "Mr. Xi, are you awake? Alas, when I think of you leaving, I can't bear it, and I can't sleep all night. Today, let me set up something for you again.
Let’s have a banquet and practice it for Mr. Xi. After this drink, it won’t be too late for Mr. Xi to leave.”
Xi Zhicai shivered again.
Still want to drink?
No more.
If you drink any more, you will die.
Xi Zhicai also likes to drink on weekdays. Today, he really hates drinking and has no interest in drinking at all. Even if it is Feixianjiu, Xi Zhicai doesn't want to drink it.
Xi Zhicai endured the discomfort in his body, dragged his limp body, and said quickly: "I appreciate the kindness of Governor Lu. Time is running out, and I must go back to resume my life. If I go back late, something will happen if I go back too late. Governor Lu, please don't do it again."
There’s a banquet.”
Lu Xuan sighed: "But, I really can't let go of you, sir."
Xi Zhicai only felt his scalp numb.
Don't be reluctant.
Please let me go immediately.
Thinking of Lu Xuan's methods, he felt a little frightened. Lu Xuan was too scheming.
Xi Zhicai cheered up and said: "Prefect Lu, we are destined to meet again. Then there will be time to talk. This time, I have to go back to deliver business. It would be bad if the return trip is delayed because of drinking."
"That's all, that's all."
Lu Xuan sighed and said: "Since Mr. Xi said so, I won't try to persuade you to stay. I hope we can meet again in the future."
"sure!"
Xi Zhicai nodded quickly and said: "Here, come help me and set off back."
The attendants came in, helped Xi Zhicai get dressed, and then staggered away.
Lu Xuan looked at Xi Zhicai's leaving figure with a bright smile on his face.
Zhou Yu followed, and he chuckled and said, "My lord, Xi Zhicai was very energetic when he came. This banquet can be regarded as taking care of him."
Lu Xuan sighed: "It's a pity that you can't use it for me."
Zhou Yu's face became serious and he looked confident, and said: "My lord, Xi Zhicai is very powerful. This is true. However, if Xi Zhicai becomes our enemy, we are not afraid. If we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely defeat Cao Jun."
, Only those who don’t let drama will be useful. Jiangdong’s son is not afraid of Cao’s army.”
