Cai Yan sat alone at the table. She held her blushing face and stared blankly.
He even laughed from time to time…
She did not quite understand.
She had clearly passed by the Wei residence and seen the Wei residence from afar.
However, she had no intention of getting off the horse.
She realized that she had fallen in love with Chen Xu's scent.
That taste was like the sound of a zither, making her unable to extricate herself.
Her hand gently caressed the zither, and a beautiful melody flowed out.
The music was filled with longing…
The next day, Chen Xu and Diao Chan only came out of the room at noon.
Just like that, another day passed.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Chen Xu bid farewell to Madam Zhang.
Zhang shi did not try to persuade him to stay.
"Young Master Dongsheng, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from today onwards!”
"You're too polite, Madam Zhang!" Chen Xu laughed loudly. Jiang 'er is my wife, so I will naturally take good care of her!”
Actually, he wanted to say that he would help take care of the other four as well.
However, Zhang shi's next words caused Chen Xu to be stunned.
"In that case, thank you, Young Master Dong Sheng!" Zhang shi said with a smile. In a few days, after I have arranged everything, I will go to Pei County to visit Jiang 'er, Tuo' er, Dao 'er, Rong' er, Mi 'er, and the others…"
"Wait?" Chen Xu was stunned.
He was completely stunned!
"Wait a minute, Mrs. Zhang. What did you say just now?" he asked curiously.”
"Did I hear wrongly? Or did you say something wrong?"
"Young Master Dong Sheng, you didn't hear wrongly. I didn't say anything wrong either!”Zhang shi bowed to Chen Xu and said," Zhen Zhang shi, I would like to ask Young Master Dongsheng to help take care of Mi 'er and the others! Young Master Dongsheng, please grant my wish!"
" This…" Happiness came too suddenly, and Chen Xu was unable to react in time.
"Actually, since husband was here, we have been thinking about which side we should stand on."”
"To tell you the truth, we have considered Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and even Cao Cao of Yanzhou, but we have never decided. Until you appeared!"
"I may be a woman, but I'm quite good at judging people. I know that when you return to Pei County, it will be the day when Young Master Dongsheng will begin to soar!”
"And our Zhen family is incompetent and wants to rely on you! Young Master Dongsheng, please grant my wish!"
After saying that, she bowed deeply.
"Please rise, quickly rise!" Chen Xu coughed lightly.
He truly did not expect that this Zhang shi was actually so decisive!
Or should he say, as expected of the current leader of the Zhen family?
Seeing that Zhang shi was still not getting up, Chen Xu knew that Zhang shi was waiting for him to express his stance.
Accept or reject?
Was there a reason to reject him?
His heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice. The mission has been updated. Please make your choice!”
"Option 1: Refuse the Zhen Zhang family's request, reject the Zhen family! [Mission reward: A cup of walnut juice!]
"Option 2: Accept the Zhen Zhang Clan's request and accept the Zhen Clan! [Mission Reward: One-fifth of the Zhen family's wealth!] Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi went to Pei County together!”
"P.S. One-fifth of the Zhen family's wealth will be given out in the form of betrothal gifts!”
Great!
The mission had arrived as expected!
Chen Xu was speechless when he saw the walnut juice of the first choice.
System, you're too naughty!
You could just say that if you choose option one, you need to nourish your brain.
Chen Xu was completely relieved when he saw the reward for Choice 2.
Wait a minute?
There was a problem!
Why was it one-fifth of the family's wealth?
Not one-sixth or one-fourth?
Was there something special going on?
Then, he saw the names of the five sisters of the Zhen family.
A hint of understanding flashed through his mind.
Could it be?
Was this because Zhen Jiang was only one of the five golden flowers?
If that was the case…
Did that mean that as long as he took down the other four golden flowers, the remaining four-fifths of the family wealth would also fall into his hands?
Hiss…
Was he that considerate?
In that case, he had another reason to arrest Zhen Mi and the others.
However, this matter had long been within his plans.
Naturally, he would not let it make any mistakes!
Moreover, the closer the pavilion was to the moon…
He thought to himself, System, I choose option two!”
Chen Xu came back to his senses and realized that Zhang shi was still bowing.
"Madam Zhang, please get up quickly!" This matter is beneficial to both of us, so there's naturally no reason for me not to agree!”
Zhang shi heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, Chen Xu went straight to find Zhao Yun.
Chen Xu sat opposite Zhao Yun and said,""Zilong, are there any talented people in the nearby counties?”
"Good talent?" Zhao Yun frowned and paced back and forth.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Chen Xu and said,"My lord, there really is a talented person in our neighboring Julu County! This person's knowledge is extraordinary and he has always been famous for his talent!”
"Oh?" Chen Xu asked curiously," May I know the name of the talented person you mentioned?”
"His name is Tian Feng, and he is from Julu. He was originally working under Han Fu, but he had never been put in an important position. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown!" Zhao Yun spoke with assurance.
Chen Xu was overjoyed!
So Tian Feng was still at home?
This was really the time and luck!
He was about to pick up a treasure!
Tian Feng was the number one strategist under Old Yuan's command!
Unfortunately, Old Yuan did not listen to Tian Feng's plan!
Otherwise, how could Yuan Shao have suffered such a defeat at Guandu!
"Zilong, let's not delay any longer. We'll set off immediately!" he urged. If we delay, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will take advantage of us!"
