Seeing Zhao Yun shake her head in rejection, Yuan Xi could not hide the disappointment on her face.
"Zhao Yun! Young Master is sincerely giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful!”Yan Liang said with an unfriendly gaze.
In Yan Liang's view, Yuan Xigui was the son of the Great General, so treating the wise and corporal like this, personally coming over to invite a surrendered general, could be said to be giving enough face to Zhao Yun.
Now that Zhao Yun had rejected him directly, it was simply a slap to Yuan Xi's face.
Even if he didn't want to be a lieutenant for Yuan Xi, he could just find a lame excuse. If he rejected her so directly, no one would be able to keep their face.
Yuan Xi forced a smile and waved his hand to stop Yan Liang. He looked at Zhao Yun and said,"Does General Zhao Yun have any concerns?”
"No." Zhao Yun shook her head again.
Perhaps Zhao Yun also felt that she was being too rude, so she explained again,
"Please forgive me, Young Master. Actually, I don't have a deep friendship with General Gongsun. I was just a lieutenant in his tent.”
Zhao Yun had not been with Gongsun Zan for a long time. Later on, because her brother had passed away, she had left Gongsun Zan for a long time.
It was only when the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan began that Zhao Yun came out of the mountain to help Gongsun Zan again in order to repay Gongsun Zan's kindness.
Now that the battle had ended and Gongsun Zan had died in battle, Zhao Yun could be considered to have returned the favor. He did not accept Yuan Xi's invitation, and it was not because of Gongsun Zan.
"Is there anything you can't say?" Yuan Xi still did not give up.
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment before explaining,"
"I once promised someone that if I had nowhere else to go in the future, I would go to that person.”
"At that time, because I was under General Gongsun's tent, I didn't leave with him. Now that General Gongsun is dead, I intend to fulfill the agreement from back then.”
Yuan Xi immediately knew that Zhao Yun was referring to Liu Bei. He couldn't help but curse the cunning big-eared thief for taking action so early.
Gongsun Zan was also Liu Bei's elder brother. He did not expect Liu Bei to have poached him in his early years. He was really cunning.
"General Zilong is a man of his word.”Yuan Xi first praised Zhao Yun, then changed the topic and said,"But General Zilong, you are not free now!”
"General Gongsun is dead, so how can I not be free?”Zhao Yun asked.
"Hahaha, since General Zilong has surrendered to our army, he is naturally a member of our Yuan family.”Yuan Xi smiled slyly.
"Uh... Hahaha, Young Master is right, it makes sense!”Yan Liang was stunned for a moment before he reacted and immediately echoed.
"Uh..." Zhao Yun was also a little confused, but if she really wanted to be serious, Yuan Xi was right.
Since they had surrendered, as a condition for their survival, they naturally had to work for the Yuan Family again. It was impossible to let them go home to live after surrendering. Wouldn't the victorious party become a sucker?
"Therefore, General Zilong will not go against the original agreement if he works for me.”Yuan Xi said.
If he wanted to make a general like Zhao Yun submit to him, he had to make him submit wholeheartedly.
Zhao Yun was somewhat convinced by Yuan Xi's absurd reasoning, but she was still hesitant and could not make up her mind.
Yuan Xi immediately struck while the iron was hot."General Zilong, I can promise you that if I die one day, you can leave and fulfill the promise you made back then…" Hiss ~ Stop pinching…"
Seeing this, everyone tactfully turned their backs, trying very hard to hold back their laughter.
Zhen Mi grimaced in displeasure as she pinched Yuan Xi's waist.
Yuan Xi felt that this little girl was a little too arrogant and glared at Zhen Mi fiercely. However, Zhen Mi was not afraid at all. She tried her best to widen her almond-shaped eyes and returned Yuan Xi's gaze without showing any weakness.
"Alright, alright, alright. I said something wrong. Forgive me.”Yuan Xi quickly put in a good word.
"Hmph, don't say that. I won't live if you die.”Zhen Mi's eyes reddened as she spoke.
The reason why Zhen Mi was like this was naturally because Yuan Xi's unfortunate death had clearly triggered Zhen Mi's sensitive nerves.
After comforting Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Yun and asked,""What do you think, General Zilong?"
Zhao Yun felt that something was not right. She could not make up her mind. Although Yuan Xi had made a good promise and acted very sincerely, she still felt that something was wrong.
It was just like how his life would change drastically if he agreed to Yuan Xi's request.
Yan Liang, who was standing at the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Zhao Yun was putting on too much airs.
"Zhao Yun, don't be so shameless!"
Yuan Xi didn't stop him this time, allowing Yan Liang to exert some pressure appropriately would also be beneficial for him to take Zhao Yun under his wing.
"Young Master, the guilty general has a presumptuous request.”
"Speak! Whether it's a reasonable request or an unreasonable request, I can agree to it now.”Yuan Xi readily agreed.
Yuan Xi knew very well that as long as he agreed to Zhao Yun's request, Zhao Yun would definitely be taken under his wing.
However, Yuan Xi still said cautiously," Of course, the premise is that I can do it.”
"Young Master, the guilty general wants to find a way out for the brothers in the camp.”Zhao Yun said as she bowed to Yuan Xi.
