Back to the Three Kingdoms

Sun Jian smiled and said: "Zibu don't have to worry. If I don't even have this kind of elegance, I still talk about how to contend for the world!"

Zhang Zhao was greatly moved and prayed: "The lord is wise!"

Zhou Yu said: "This drama is really brilliant today. The talent of this person is definitely not under me. He will definitely become the right arm of the lord in the future!"

Sun Ce also said: "Although this person is a little arrogant, he has real materials and arrogant capital, so don't worry about it. I think my father can immediately appoint him as an assistant to assist his father in achieving his great cause!"

Sun Jian nodded, "What Ce'er said is extremely true. Tomorrow Ce'er will hire Xi Zhicai for his father." Sun Ce clasped his fist and promised.

After the meeting ended, Zhang Zhao returned to the mansion. As soon as he came back, he shouted excitedly: "Zicai! Zhicai!" Xi Zhicai immediately greeted him.

Zhang Zhao said in excitement: "Good news, good news! The lord has decided to appoint the nephew as his staff. Tomorrow morning, the lord's eldest son Sun Ce will come to hire the nephew on behalf of the lord!" The look of calmness.

Zhang Zhao noticed the burden Xi Zhicai was carrying on his shoulders, and he was taken aback, and asked, "Why are you carrying the burden? Where are you going?"

Xi Zhicai clasped his fist and said, "I am really ashamed of my great love for my uncle! My nephew felt that Sun Jian was not the master of my nephew's hope, so he decided to leave!"

Zhang Zhao was shocked, grabbed Xi Zhicai’s arm, and said anxiously: “Why did the nephew say this? The lord was greatly admired by the nephew’s strategy today, so he immediately decided to appoint the nephew as the palace of Wu. Staff! The lord does not care about the rude behavior of his nephew at today's banquet. Who can compare with such a minded nephew? Isn't the nephew moved at all?"

Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "Wu Wang Wulue is indeed a great man, but he is not the master of my nephew's mind!"

Zhang Zhao asked angrily: "Even the lord does not enter the eyes of the nephew, what kind of lord does the nephew want?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Uncle, although my nephew is not talented, but he doesn't want to be inhumane. To be honest, before my nephew came to Jiangxia, he had also observed Cao Cao. In my eyes, today, it can be called The heroes are nothing but Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Chen Lang, but I have seen both of them, and I think Sun Jian is not as good as Cao Cao."

Zhang Zhao said unhappily: "What a nephew said is wrong! Why is my patron inferior to that of Cao Cao? After Cao Cao is just an eunuch, he is extremely pickled. What's the point?"

Xi Zhi laughed; "Uncle's words are biased! If you talk about heroes by birth, then Yuan Shu should be one of the best heroes in the world! But what is the actual situation, I must not need to say more from my nephew! Sun Jian is right! Uncle has the kindness to meet and meet him. Because of his gratitude to Sun Jian, his uncle thinks he is the number one hero in the world. That is also human nature! But in the eyes of my nephew, Sun Jian is not as good as Cao Cao. First of all, he is not as good-minded as Cao Cao. It is vast, and Sun Jian is nothing more than a last resort; although Sun Jian has a martial arts strategy, he is inferior to Cao Cao; although Sun Jian is a talent, his ambition is to replace the Han Dynasty. Although Cao Cao dare not say that he has no such intentions, I can see that Cao Cao’s greatest wish is to clarify the world and reorganize the mountains and rivers! Cao Cao’s ideals can be said to be more of a kind of dignity. But Sun Jian's ideals are more out of selfish desire."

Xi Zhi laughed, "When the Eighteenth Route prince Tao was attacking Dong Zhuo, that Sun Jian actually did something to hide the jade seal privately. You can imagine how his heart is! After seeing it today, I am even more sure of my own. Judgment! Although I am not a character like Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang, I am not willing to pin my ideals on this person!"

Zhang Zhao frowned, trying to refute Xi Zhicai, but what the other party said was justified and well-founded, and there was no way to refute it. Wu grabbed Xi Zhicai's arm tightly and said arrogantly: "No matter what you have reasons, I will never let you go!"

Xi Zhicai begged: "Uncle! Would you like to see your little nephew stay in an unhappy place for a lifetime?"

Zhang Zhao's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help letting go of Xi Zhicai's arm, but he still didn't give up, persuading, "My nephew, why don't you try to stay? Maybe the lord will surprise you, maybe it's not necessarily!"

Xizhi shook his head and said, "If a big man is alive, he will either not promise, but once he promises, he will never regret it until he die!" Chao Zhang Zhao clasped his fist and said, "Thank you for your uncle's attention these days, my nephew can't bear it. Uncle, this is my goodbye!"

Zhang Zhao sighed, clasped his fist and said: "Since my nephew is determined, I am not too strong!" Then he moved his heart and said, "You don't have to worry about your nephew if you want to leave. It is better to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning. It's not too late!"

Xizhi hesitated for a while, but felt the hospitality was difficult, so he had to agree.

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his servant to call Xi Zhicai, and then quickly returned to the Wu Palace.

Sun Jian was preparing to rest under the service of his concubine, but he heard that Zhang Zhao suddenly came to see him. Feeling that there should be something urgent, he simply summoned Zhang Zhao directly to the bedroom.

auzw.com When Zhang Zhao saw Sun Jian, he hurriedly said, "Master, your subordinates took the liberty!"

Sun Jian smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's okay, it's okay! Zibu has gone and returned. Surely there must be something urgent, right?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "My lord, that drama has a weird temperament, so I don't want to accept the offer of the lord and want to leave!" Sun Jian frowned, looking a little unhappy.

Zhang Zhao said anxiously: "The subordinates dare to invite the lord to visit the humble house! As long as the lord goes, he will be able to leave that drama talent!"

Sun Jian did not answer immediately, frowning. The little concubine who stood by the side watched his words and thoughts, and said to Zhang Zhao: "I have never heard of this kind of thing! A commoner who is obviously only here to cast effect, but wants King Wu to condescend! What is the use of such an arrogant person?"

Zhang Zhao was secretly angry, but did not dare to reprimand the lord's concubine, and said to Sun Jian anxiously: "Lord! That drama is only talented in the world, and it is too important for the lord's great cause! Let alone losing this person The loss to us, the harm caused by this person's contribution to others is absolutely incalculable!"

Sun Jian looked a little emotional. The little concubine said on the side: "Then kill him! Isn't that the same?"

Zhang Zhao was shocked, and said anxiously: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be the heart of the world's heroes! It must not be so!!"

Sun Jian said to Zhang Zhao: "What Zibu said is reasonable. But it's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Lord..." Zhang Zhao wanted to persuade Sun Jian to go tonight. However, Sun Jian showed an expression of impatience and said, "I have already decided on this matter, so you can withdraw." Zhang Zhao had no choice but to withdraw.

Zhang Zhao came out of the palace, looked back, frowned, and a thought came up in his heart: The lord is really inferior to the son of Ce! If it was Master Ce, he would definitely rush over immediately, desperately!

At this point, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but his heart moved. He hurriedly boarded the carriage, and the coachman shouted: "Go to the mansion of the son of Ce!" The coachman promised and immediately waved his whip to urge the carriage to run.

Soon after, Zhang Zhao rushed to Sun Ce's residence. However, after asking the guards, it was known that Sun Ce had not returned after the meeting ended. Zhang Zhao estimated that Sun Ce went to drink with Zhou Yu seven or eight times out of ten, so he hurried to Zhou Yu's residence. However, Zhou Yu didn't come back either. Zhang Zhao only learned from the guards that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had a drink. Zhang Zhao hurriedly searched for the still open tavern in the city, but he didn't see a half-person figure at all. It turned out that after the meeting, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu went to the riverside to have a drink together, expressing their ambitions. They didn't know that Zhang Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the city.

A fang came back from outside and hugged Chen Lang and said: "Master, I have already inquired about it."

Chen Lang hurriedly asked: "Where does he live?"

"Just live in Zhang Zhao's mansion."

Chen Lang frowned and murmured: "That said, this drama historian was recommended by Zhang Zhao." Chen Lang didn't understand why the drama historian who should serve Cao Cao appeared here, but this issue is no longer important.

Chen Lang paced back and forth, and couldn't help feeling uneasy when he thought that Xi Zhicai was about to become Sun Jian's subordinate. Is there any way to get this drama Zhicai back? Chen Lang thought about it, but couldn't think of a good way. In the end, Li Gun had to take a few fangs to prepare a carriage to lie in ambush near Zhang Zhao's mansion. When they saw Xizhi came out alone, they kidnapped him and took him to a secret foothold outside the city. Chen Lang’s spy personnel had long been lurking in Jiangxia, and the secret foothold outside the city was a hiding place previously prepared by the spy personnel in charge of the espionage work here.

In the early hours of the morning, Sun Ce rode his horse back to his residence. Zhang Zhao, who had been waiting outside the gate for a night, hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Master Ce, I have been waiting for you all night! You are finally back!" Sun Ce got off his horse and asked incomprehensibly: "Zhang Why is Master Zhao waiting for me outside the gate?"

Zhang Zhao grabbed Sun Ce's wrist and ran towards his mansion. He ran to his side and said, "The son, come with me! Otherwise, Xi Zhi will be afraid to leave!!"

Sun Ce was amazed, "Where do I start with this?" Zhang Zhao said as he ran, "I'll talk about this later!"

Sun Ce suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Zhang Zhao to Zhang Zhao's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zhao excitedly shouted at the servants: "Master Ce is here, hurry up and call the trick Zhi!"

The servant was stunned, and quickly said, "Master, Xizhi has already left just now."

Zhang Zhao was shocked, and asked in a huff: "How can you let him go?!" The servant was panicked and quickly said, "This, this, the villain doesn't know!"

Sun Ce patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder and asked the servant: "How long has he gone?" The servant quickly said, "If you return to the son, he hasn't left for a long time."
