Chapter 039-Wentao and Wulue, Gu Xichao
This young man was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His martial arts cultivation was already at the peak of the Connate Realm. He was already considered a genius. He could actually go to high school to look for a beauty. Zhu Bin had only heard of such a person, Little Li Flying Dagger, Li Xunhuan.
He was outstanding in both civil and military affairs, and he was still so young. His future was simply boundless. Zhu Bin did not know why this fellow had been stripped of his official rank.
One had to know that among the top ten generals of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, who had the best reputation among the people, had only become an official because of his family background, while Yuan Chonghuan had only passed the imperial examination.
A person like this young man in front of him shouldn't have fallen to such a state, right?
"Are you regretting it? "However, it's too late for regrets. The news of you treating me to a drink has already spread," the young man said in an extremely calm tone as he took a sip of wine.
"Regret? "That's not the case. I'm just curious, who did you offend to end up like this?" Zhu Bin sighed slightly, finally understanding why this young man was so dispirited.
A man who was able to visit a high school girl in his twenties must have had a lot of ambition. However, he did not expect to encounter such a blow at the most proud time of his life. Naturally, he was down and out. Now that he was wandering in the martial arts world, as long as people knew his identity, they would not be close to him, let alone help him.
It could be said that after being stripped of his official rank, this young man would no longer have the chance to embark on an official career. What could be more devastating than having his dreams shattered and ten years of hardship turned into flowing water?
Moreover, with his current status, he was basically famous in the Jinyiwei and the East Chamber. Even if he wanted to go to another country, it was probably impossible. Moreover, Zhu Bin could see that this young man still had concerns in Ming Dynasty.
"It's better not to be curious about some things. It's not good for you!”The young man said indifferently.
"I've already offended the person you've offended by inviting you for a drink, so what does it matter?”Zhu Bin smiled and said indifferently.
The young man shook his head slightly and didn't say anything else. He continued to drink and no longer paid attention to Zhu Bin.
" Hehe…It's fine if you don't want to say it. I'll treat you to a drink. You should at least say your name." Zhu Bin no longer bothered about who the young man had offended and changed the topic.
"Gu Xichao!" The young man said indifferently.
"Gu Xichao, a good name. Cheers!”Zhu Bin smiled and raised his glass, but his heart was in turmoil.
Zhu Bin had heard of Gu Xichao's name like thunder. Gu Xichao was a character in the cold water. In the book, he was a villain. However, in Zhu Bin's opinion, it was fate playing a joke on him. Gu Xichao's life was thinner than paper, but his talent was enough to be called brilliant.
In the original book, Gu Xichao was the son of a prostitute. He had literary talent and military strategy, and had the ambition of a swan. He was expelled because of his humble background. He had joined the army, but he could only be a pawn and could not display his ambition. He once wrote the military book "Seven Lue," but he was not recognized by him and became a joke.
Although Zhu Bin did not know how Gu Xichao was stripped of his official rank in this world, he believed that Gu Xichao's talent would not be inferior, and would only be more outstanding.
Back when he was watching the TV series, Zhu Bin had fantasized about transmigrating and saving Gu Xichao. Now that he had such an opportunity, Zhu Bin naturally would not let it go.
Seeing Gu Xichao raise her glass and drink it in one gulp, Zhu Bin could not help but say,""Since Brother Gu no longer has any achievements, why don't you come to my residence and help me?”
Gu Xichao paused for a moment, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. However, it disappeared in an instant, and she still said calmly,""Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Imperial Grandfather will never care about such a small matter. As for the others, they will be offended sooner or later.”Zhu Bin said nonchalantly.
Gu Xichao fell silent. However, after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that Zhu Bin was right. Other people, even the Royal Highness, would not dare to take Gu Xichao in as they wished. After all, they needed to avoid suspicion. However, Zhu Bin, who was under the observation period and was not even eighteen years old, was an exception.
The Emperor of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, would not care about such a small matter at all. Even if others wanted to attack Zhu Bin, it would be impossible because Zhu Bin was in the observation period and also in the protection period. Attacks from the court were completely useless against Zhu Bin.
"Gu Xichao greets Young Master!"
Gu Xichao suddenly stood up and knelt down on one knee. She gave Zhu Bin a big bow. This kind of big bow was what civil officials and generals would do when they submitted to their lord. In other words, from this moment on, Gu Xichao was Zhu Bin's subordinate.
"Haha…Good, Xichao, quickly get up. With Xichao's help, you can defeat a martial grandmaster!”Zhu Bin was very happy and immediately helped Gu Xichao up.
"Young Master, you flatter me. Although Xichao is weak, I will definitely do my best for you!”Gu Xichao stood up. The decadent look on her face disappeared, and she instantly revealed a peerless sharpness.
"Haha, I'm not overpraising you. It's not that you're weak, it's just that you're unlucky. Moreover, it's not like Xichao won't have a chance to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm in the future.”Zhu Bin said with a smile.
" Uh…" Zhu Bin suddenly paused. Gu Xichao's temperament changed and his aura increased greatly. In an instant, he had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.
"Haha…I told you that my taste was not wrong!”Zhu Bin became even happier.
