"Aiya, Young Master Su's tea is fragrant and has an endless aftertaste. It's really good tea.”
Mei Huan suddenly smiled and praised the tea's fragrance. At the same time, she winked at Zhao Yun.
She was hinting to Zhao Yun not to be rash.
Only then did Zhao Yun suppress her anger. She released her hand that was pressing on the sword and took a sip of tea.
Xu Chu let go of the hilt of his sword and continued to stand behind Su Yi.
However, Su Yi was always calm and indifferent, as if there was no one else around, only caring about sipping tea.
"Ahem."
" Young Master Su," Mi Huan said," our Commissioner Liu is a benevolent and righteous person. It doesn't seem right for you to be so disrespectful to him."”
"Benevolence?"
Su Yi did not think much of it. He sneered and said,"Then tell me, Miss. What kind of benevolent act did your envoy Liu do? Let me broaden my horizons."”
"This…"
Mi Huan searched her mind for a moment before saying,""During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Envoy Liu recruited local soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits for the imperial court.”
"Who hasn't killed a few Yellow Turban bandits these days? If you count them this way, Cao Cao has killed more than Liu Bei.”
Su Yi said disapprovingly.
Mi Huan thought for a moment and said,"Envoy Liu once saved Kong Rong in the North Sea. How benevolent!"”
"Saving a mere Kong Rong is something you can brag about?”
Su Yi's eyes were filled with surprise."That Cao Cao even assassinated Dong Zhuo alone. He raised the flag of righteousness and called on the eighteen vassals to attack Dong Zhuo. Wouldn't that be boastful?"”
Mi Huan was at a loss for words, her face slightly red.
Su Yi took a sip of tea and sneered,"What other benevolent actions does that Liu Da 'er have? Miss, take your time to think about it. I'm all ears."”
"Envoy Liu, he…"
Mi Huan wanted to say something but stopped.
She racked her brains and suddenly realized that she really couldn't find any evidence to prove Liu Bei's benevolence.
"You can't think of anything, right?"
Su Yi put down his teacup and looked at Mi Huan.
"Cao Cao attacked the Yellow Turbans, killed the eunuchs, assassinated Dong Zhuo, raised the banner of righteousness, subdued millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and fought bloody battles to conquer the Central Plains. He welcomed the emperor and allowed the people to enjoy peace and recuperate.”
"Cao Cao has outstanding achievements in his hands. He has done things that benefit the country and the people. His achievements are obvious to everyone, so he doesn't bother to boast about his benevolence.”
"As for that Liu Bei, it's precisely because he doesn't have any outstanding points and doesn't have any actual achievements to show off that he can only put gold on his face and boast about his benevolence.”
Su Yi's words actually caused Mi Huan's expression to surge as she fell into deep thought.
Even though Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with indignation, she didn't have the confidence to flare up.
"Think about it, Cao Cao has done so many things, and I'm too lazy to join him. Liu Bei is such a boastful and benevolent lord, would I go out and join him?”
Su Yi sneered and asked.
Mei Huan and Zhao Yun were silent, unable to refute.
"Moreover, the salt shortage in Xu City recently, I guess that the Mi family must have been pressured by Liu Bei to make the sea salt in Xu City soar.”
"Liu Bei's goal is nothing more than to make a windfall to feed his ten thousand strong army.”
"However, his methods made the people of the Central Plains unable to bear the burden and suffer.”
"Since Liu Bei is so righteous and righteous, did he not consider the millions of people of the Central Plains before doing so?”
Su Yi asked in a stern tone.
"He actually deduced that the Mi Family was forced to do so because of Envoy Liu!”
Mi Huan was shocked again, and her eyes looked at Su Yi in shock.
"Yes, what he said is right. My lord has always been kind and righteous. Why did he not care about the people this time? What is my lord thinking?”
Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with confusion as she thought hard in her heart.
"That's why, you two said that I'm intelligent, yet you advised me to foolishly seek refuge with Liu Bei. Isn't this contradictory?”
Su Yi mocked.
Zhao Yun and Mei Huan looked embarrassed, but they didn't know how to retort.
Su Yi poured them a cup of tea and said with a smile,"In my opinion, instead of persuading me to join Liu Bei, why don't I persuade the two of you to leave Liu Bei as soon as possible?”
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of Zhao Yun and the other two changed in shock.
How did these few words turn around? Instead, it was Su Yi who advised them to betray Liu Bei?
"Brother, I can see that you're extraordinary. You must be a talented general. If you want to join Cao Mengde, I have some ways to recommend you.”
"As for this young lady, although we only have a slight friendship, if you want to take root in Xu City, I, Su Yi, will definitely take care of you.”
Su Yi became enthusiastic and began to arrange a way out for them.
Zhao Yun and Mei Huan felt awkward and helpless, not knowing what to do.
Mi Huan coughed lightly and forced a smile."We appreciate Young Master Su's good intentions. Actually, we were just casually saying what we said just now. Young Master Su, don't take it seriously.”
Zhao Yun also hurriedly cupped her hands." We still have to hurry on, so we won't disturb Young Master Su's leisure. Goodbye."”
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly took their leave.
"I've already ordered the servants to prepare wine and dishes. Aren't you going to eat before you set off?"”
"No, no, thank you, Young Master Su. We'll meet again if fate permits.”
How could the two of them stay any longer? They hurriedly bid farewell and left.
"Will we meet again if fate allows?"
Su Yi looked at the backs of the two of them and sighed,"The flames of war are about to erupt in Xiao Pei. If you have the life to escape, then talk about fate with me.”
Outside the Su Residence.
The moment they stepped out of the door, Zhao Yun and Mei Huan heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's not right. We are here to persuade him to come out of the mountain to assist the lord. Why is it that he is the one who persuaded us to surrender?”
Only then did Zhao Yun come back to her senses, and her eyes could not help but be filled with surprise.
Mi Huan's eyes shook as she suddenly came to a realization.
"This Young Master Su is not only intelligent, but his eloquence is also unparalleled. We have all been tricked by him!”
Mi Huan shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Yun turned around and glared at the Su Residence's main door." Why am I shocked by what he said? How can I allow him to slander my lord like that?!"”
"General Zilong, do you really think that Young Master Su's evaluation of Envoy Liu was slander?”
Mi Huan suddenly asked, her eyes and tone meaningful.
"He-"
Zhao Yun was speechless, not knowing how to respond to Mi Huan's question.
After a long time, Zhao Yun sighed.
"No matter what, let's go back to Xiao Pei first.”
Mi Huan jumped onto the carriage.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to get on his horse and urge the caravan to continue east.
"Su Yi, Su Yi!"
Mi Huan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the distant Su Manor, muttering the name heavily.
In the Su family manor.
Su Yi sent the guests away and had just sat down.
In his mind, the system notification sounded.
Ding!" You have triggered a mission to live in seclusion. The mission will last for three months. Host, please choose a place to live in seclusion.”
Xiangyang, Lake Continent, and Martial Arts City appeared in his mind.
"We've only rested for less than two months, and now we have another mission?”
Su Yi muttered and complained.
Even though he was complaining, he still had to accept this mission. Who knew what kind of reward he would receive?
Although Xiangyang was peaceful, it was still in Liu Biao's territory. It was best not to go.
Wugong was located in Guanzhong, and the Xiliang generals in Guanzhong were fighting for territory. It would be stupid to go to Wugong.
As for this Lake Continent City, it was not very famous. Su Yi had no choice but to take out a map.
After searching for a long time, he finally found this small city in the south of Shanyang County.
"This city is a little close to Xiao Pei."
Hesitation was only for a moment, but Su Yi immediately disagreed.
He had even lived in seclusion in Lower Cai City, not to mention that Hu Lu City was still in Cao Tong District. Even if Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Bei, the flames of war would only burn in Liu Bei's territory, not Hu Lu City.
"Yes, I'll go to the lake!"
