Zhao Yun and Mi Huan entered the Su residence.
"It's a pleasure to have you visit my humble residence.”
Su Yi stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back and welcomed him with a smile.
Mi Huan bowed and said with a faint smile,"We were passing by your residence and were temporarily disturbing Young Master.”
Su Yi sized up the beautiful girl. Looking at her hair, she should have not married yet, yet she dared to lead a merchant group on a long journey. Her tone and bearing were quite calm. It seemed that she was not a simple woman.
"Brother, sorry for the disturbance."
Zhao Yun only cupped her fists, practically greeting him.
Su Yi sized him up and thought to himself,"This person is extraordinary and has a heroic spirit.”
After that.
Su Yi cupped his hands and returned the greeting,"Who hasn't needed help when they're out? I've already sent some food and wine over. Breakfast has just been prepared in the hall. If the two of you are not in a hurry, it won't be too late to leave after eating."”
"This handsome young master sure is hospitable.”
Mi Huan nodded in approval. After exchanging a glance with Zhao Yun, the two of them happily entered the hall.
The host and guest sat down.
Cao Jie, as the hostess, called for the servants to add bowls and chopsticks for Mi Huan and Zhao Yun.
"Are the two of you from Xiapi or Xiaopei?”
Su Yi took a sip of wine and asked.
"I won't hide it from you, Young Master," Mi Huan said with a smile.”
"Xiao Pei, that's Liu Bei's territory.”
Su Yi nodded slightly and casually said,"These few days, Xiao Pei should be on high alert as if she was facing a great enemy."”
The eyes of Mei Huan and Zhao Yun couldn't help but twitch.
"Why do you say that?" asked Mei Huan curiously.”
"After Liu Bei was sent to Xiaopei by Lu Bu, he naturally secretly recruited soldiers and horses to take back Xuzhou.”
"Lu Bu isn't stupid. Once he sensed something, he would definitely plan to attack Xiao Pei to prevent it from happening.”
Su Yi ate his food and said casually.
Mi Huan had just placed a mouthful of wine into her mouth when she heard Su Yi's words. She was shocked and could not help but choke.
"Is this lady alright?"
Su Yi raised his head and looked at her.
"No, no, I just choked.”
Mi Huan pretended to hide it as she glanced at Zhao Yun.
At this moment, Zhao Yun's eyes also flashed with surprise.
"This person looks like an ordinary young master from a rich family. To be able to deduce that Lu Bu was going to attack Xiao Pei, he's not simple!”
The same thought rose in their hearts.
After calming down, Mi Huan sighed,""Young Master is right. Recently, that Envoy Liu has indeed strengthened the defenses of Xiao Pei, training his troops day and night. I heard that he is worried that Wen Hou will lead the army to attack.”
She did not hide anything and admitted it truthfully.
Su Yi was not surprised. He only nodded slightly and continued to eat.
Cao Jie, who was beside her, stole a glance at her husband.
"He has been living in seclusion in the countryside all day, yet he knows the movements of Liu Bei and Lu Bu thousands of miles away like the back of his hand. Father is right, he is indeed intelligent!”
Cao Jie sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Your Envoy Liu must have sent someone to Xudu to secretly seek help from Cao Mengde.”
Su Yi said casually.
As soon as he said that.
Mei Huan and Zhao Yun's bodies trembled, and a look of shock surged in their eyes.
In order to prevent Lu Bu from suspecting him, Mi Zhu had secretly come to the capital. Only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei's trusted aides knew about Xiao Pei.
Since Mei Zhu had just arrived in Xu City, it was impossible for anyone in Xu City to know about this.
This seemingly ordinary young master in front of him had actually guessed it in advance!
How could Mi Huan and Zhao Yun not be shocked?
"We're just small fry, how could we know about this kind of thing?”
Mi Huan suppressed her shock and forced a smile to deny it.
"That's true."
Su Yi nodded.”
At this moment.
Mi Huan sighed again." However, Young Master's guess is not without reason. Lu Bu is very powerful. If he wants to attack Xiao Pei, Commissioner Liu will not be able to stop him. Other than asking Sikong Cao for help, there is no other way.”
"Not necessarily."
"Lu Bu does have the intention to attack Xiao Pei, but I'm afraid he won't have time to care about Liu Bei for the next six months.”
Su Yi sipped his wine and said.
Mei Huan's eyes moved and she couldn't help but ask,""Young Master, what makes you think so?"
"If I'm not wrong, Yuan Shu, that silkpants, will soon declare himself emperor in Shouchun. Huainan borders Xuzhou, and after Yuan Shu becomes emperor, he will be the first to bear the brunt of the attack and will definitely force Lu Bu to become his subject.”
"At that time, Lu Bu would not have enough time to deal with Yuan Shu. How would he have the time to care about Liu Bei?”
Su Yi said unhurriedly.
"Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!"
Mei Huan and Zhao Yun repeated in unison.
Even Cao Jie, who was beside him, couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Su Yi's words really shocked them.
Although the world was in chaos and the vassals were divided, on the surface, they still respected the Han Emperor as the Son of Heaven.
Even someone as powerful as Yuan Shao had to publicly express his respect for the little Emperor.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Shu actually dared to defy the world and declare himself emperor?
Mi Huan didn't believe it, and neither did Zhao Yun.
Even his wife, Cao Jie, could not believe that Yuan Shu had such guts.
"Aiya, I was just chatting on a whim.”
Su Yi laughed and casually brushed it off.
At this moment.
Zhou Tai came to report that he had given the caravan enough food and water.
Mei Huan and Zhao Yun stood up and bid farewell.
Before they parted, Mi Huan bowed and smiled." We are truly grateful for Young Master's hospitality. I haven't asked for Young Master's name yet.”
Su Yi did not bother to hide it and said frankly,"I'm Su Yi."
"Su Yi?"
Mi Huan's thoughts raced as she searched for this name in her mind.
The Mi family was one of the three richest merchants in the world. They had businesses all over the world, especially in Yan, Yu, Qing, and Xu.
These shops were the source of wealth for the Mi Family and also their eyes and ears. No matter who or what happened in the world, they could not escape the eyes and ears of the Mi Family.
Mi Huan thought hard for a long time, but she could not think of a person like Su Yi.
"So it's Young Master Su. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely visit you to thank you.”
Mi Huan put away her suspicions, bowed, and left.
The two of them left the Su Residence and mounted their horses. They led the caravan and set off along the main road to Xudu.
"This Young Master Su actually guessed that the lord sent my elder brother to the capital to ask for help.”
Mi Huan praised.
"This person is indeed knowledgeable, but he later said that Yuan Shu would become the Emperor." Zhao Yunyi laughed.”
"I think so too."
Mi Huan nodded slightly and smiled." Perhaps his intelligence is just so-so. He was just coincidentally involved in my lord's matters."”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A horse galloped over from the front. It was Mi Zhu's personal attendant.
The attendant stepped forward to greet him and cupped his hands."Young Lady, General Zhao, Master has just received news that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun!”
"What?"
Mei Huan and Zhao Yun's expressions changed instantly.
