C8 A Wise Man in the Wild

Xiao Shi did not dare to say more and followed behind Xiao Yan. Xiao Zhong, another servant, could not help but snicker.

"What are you laughing at? "Duke dares to laugh at me, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Shi slapped Xiao Zhong on the face and almost knocked his head to the side. Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort as he proudly followed behind Wu Tie.

Xiao Zhong was furious, but he didn't dare to say anything. He stared at the back of Xiao Shi's head and snorted. Then, he quickly followed.

Xiao Yan held Xia Yue's letter in his hand and walked towards the armory.

After nearly two hundred years of peace, the Eastern Han Dynasty broke through the Qiang Clan in the west and attacked the Huns in the north.

Longspear, who was standing to the left and right, became alert when he saw Xiao Yan and his men walk over. Two spears crossed each other and blocked Xiao Yan.

"Stop!" The armory is very important, how could they dare trespass? "

"Hurry up and leave, otherwise we'll kill you on the spot without mercy!"

Xiao Yan was shocked, but he remained expressionless. He stretched out his arm and smiled, "Please have a look, this is the letter from Wu Tie, Xia Wu Tie ordered me to come for the weapon."

A soldier frowned and said, "Me can't read, so don't wait too long."

He turned around, and not too long after, a person walked out. He did not seem to be twenty years old, but there was an old callus on his palm.

The man cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan and said, "Duke, can you show this to me?"

"Of course." Xiao Yan handed over the handwritten book.

"Yes, it was written by County Lieutenant without a doubt." The young man looked him over and nodded.

He turned around and ordered, "Go get fifty spears, ten Ring Head Knife s, and five leaders' armors. "Wait a moment."

After giving out his instructions, he asked Xiao Yan, "I wonder what is the purpose of these things that County Lieutenant gave Duke?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "County Lieutenant has ordered us to listen to him. Why do we need to know everything?"

However, the young man shook his head and said solemnly: "The country has military equipment, how can it be given to a private person? If Duke is unable to speak clearly, then I will definitely not send him off! "

This guy has quite the character. Even though Xia Yue's real name is County Lieutenant, he still dared to stop her … Could it be that his name was also recorded in history?

The person with the most famous Qing Prefecture was Taishi Ci, who was this guy?

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask, "May I ask for Mister's name?"

"Duke is unwilling to speak directly, but there is nothing I can't say with my great name."

The young man said with a straight face, "I am Wang Xiu of the North Sea."

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, but soon after, his face filled with ecstasy.

He had picked up another treasure!

Compared to those famous generals from the three kingdoms, Wang Xiu's reputation was undoubtedly lower, but he was also a talent who was hard to come by due to his Qing Prefecture.

Wang Xiu had once served Kong Rong in his previous life, but later on, Yuan Tan became the master of Qing Prefecture, and then Yuan Tan became the master of Qing Prefecture. Wang Xiu was very loyal to Kong and Yuan. After Yuan Tan died, no one dared to hide his corpse. Only Wang Xiu could not forget his old feelings. Some people reported Cao Cao, while Cao Cao praised Wang Xiu for his loyalty.

Once, when Wang Xiu heard about it, he immediately rushed to the palace gate. At that time, Zhong You, the Minister of Ren, was dissatisfied: According to the old system, if there was an accident, the Nine Dans should remain at home. Wang Xiu, however, said: "How can we avoid disaster when the Emperor is loyal to the Emperor?"

From this, it could be seen that Wang Xiu was definitely a loyal subject. Furthermore, he later achieved the position of Cao Wei and Jiuqing, and was especially good at farming.

"So you are the King of Tombs, Shuzhi?"

Xiao Yan laughed out loud and held Wang Xiu's hand, "As mother to son, even though I have already heard about it from the Huang County, I didn't expect to be able to meet you today, it's truly a fortunate thing!"

Wang Xiu was scared silly by Xiao Yan's enthusiasm: Motherhood? However, his mother had died when he was seven. Where did this Duke hear of his mother's filial piety?

However, because Wang Xiu's mother died on the day of the society, the people sang and danced in celebration. He thought of his mother crying because of this, so the neighbors stopped celebrating for him.

"Is Qing here a mere official?" What a waste of time! "

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh, "With my talent, even if I am not a government official, I am still worth two thousand stones."

"If there is no one in the world, the emperor will be a small official, like a bright pearl thrown into the dark." Xiao Yan's words changed as he said: "Qing'er can come to my Duke Mansion, I will definitely treat you as above."

Wang Xiu shook off Xiao Yan's hand without leaving a trace and said, "Thank you, Duke, for your care. I am just accumulating funds to study in the south."

"Study? The southern lands are sparsely populated, and traveling requires a good horse. "

Xiao Yan turned around and said, "Xiao Shi, go and bring the horse that this marquis rode, and give it to brother Shuzhi."

"Here."

Xiao Shi sang, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Yan.

"Stop!" "Give me another 10 gold. Brother Shuzhi will take it along the way. It's very convenient." Xiao Yan asked with concern.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said, "There's no need for Duke. Confucius has travelled all over the country and was unable to eat his fill. Why should cultivators eat like this?"

Since Xiao Yan was so enthusiastic about him as a mere official, Wang Xiu was embarrassed to ask him what he was going to do with the armors.

However, he couldn't help but wonder: Why is Duke so passionate towards me? Looking at his glowing eyes, it was obvious that... The good of Long Yang?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu's gaze became alert. He retreated a step without leaving a trace. "Duke doesn't need to order the servant to send you any gold anymore. I will remember this."

Seeing Wang Xiu back away, Xiao Yan thought for a while and said: "Am I too enthusiastic?"

After all, it was the first time they met and it was normal for strangers to have feelings for each other. It didn't matter, they could just follow Cao'e's example and have a small feast every three days and a big feast every five days.

"Brother Shuzhi is not a person who comes for free. I admire you. What I admire most in my life is a man of honor. In a few days, I will invite Brother Shuzhi to the banquet." Xiao Yan smiled.

At that time, the guards also placed their armors on the carriage they brought. After Xiao Yan bid his farewells to Wang Xiu, he got on the carriage.

"Have you given the guards anything?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Shi as soon as they got on the car.

"Duke, don't worry. I've made some preparations for each guard. Hehe, this group of people are really straightforward. They have doubled the number of soldiers that County Lieutenant has commanded!" Xiao Shi chuckled.

There were one hundred spears, twenty Ring Head Knife s, forty powerful bows, and ten leaders' armors. It was enough to arm two hundred soldiers!

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, let's hurry back to the house."

"Xiao Zhong, did you hear that? "Hurry up and drive the carriage!" Xiao Shi instructed Xiao Zhong.

"Got it." Xiao Zhong was dissatisfied with Xiao Shi's order for him to hurry over, but he still sped up. After all, returning to Duke Mansion was the safest option for these weapons.

"Howl ~"

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling happy, the carriage suddenly came to a screeching halt and he almost flew out. Luckily, he was stopped by Xiao Shi, so he didn't embarrass himself.

"Xiao Zhong, what are you doing? Why did it suddenly stop? " Xiao Yan shouted.
