Tao Qian asked very carefully this time and even told Gan Ning's father's name.
"I wonder why Captain Tao asked about this person? My eldest brother has many talented people, but little Gan Ning's ability is low and he has to be let go."
Cui Niubi didn't want to expose Gan Ning's strength, so he said this.
"Since General Guan is Liu Bei's second brother, I won't hide it. Gan Ning should be the son of my old friend, but I haven't contacted him for many years. Now that I see his appearance, I think of my old friend, so I ask this question."
Cui Niubi thought to himself that it wouldn't be surprising to hear that Gan Ning's father was a prefect before and knew Tao Qian, so it wouldn't hurt to tell him about it.
"Gan Ning's father is indeed named Gan Ding. He seems to have served as a prefect, but I can't remember where." Cui Niupi answered truthfully.
Tao Qian's brows widened when he heard this, "He is indeed the son of an old friend! Did he finally settle down in Ba County? Is there anyone else in his family but Gan Ning?"
"Gan Ning also has a sister named Gan Mei, who is fair-skinned and beautiful." Cui Niubi clicked his lips as he spoke, but then felt it was inappropriate and quickly changed his words, "Guan is already thirsty.
,Ha ha."
Tao Qian heard this and asked people to make tea. He just asked Gan Ning's family clearly. Cui Niu Pi felt that it was not a confidential matter, so he told everything he knew. He also said that Gan Mei was engaged to Zhou Yuanfu.
He only waited for Brother Zhou to become a marquis before going to marry him.
Seeing Tao Qian's endless talk, Cui Niupi's mouth went dry, and he was afraid that he would brag too much and someone would see his flaws, so he held up his hands and said, "I didn't report this to Brother Zhou when I came out. I'm afraid I'll worry him if I go back late."
, I’ll say goodbye now.”
It was not easy to persuade Tao Qian to stay. Although Liu Bei was reluctant to leave, he did not try to persuade him too much.
Cui Niubi walked far away, found a place where no one was around, changed back to his appearance, and walked back with a slumped head. This time, he not only failed to kill Liu Bei, but also lost a dagger.
Two self-defense weapons, my heart bleeds just thinking about them.
When I returned to the camp, I saw that everyone was busy. Some were directing the cleaning of last night's battlefield, some were raising the ice wall, and some were digging pits to set up tents. Cui Niupi had nothing to do, so he went to the Chinese army's tent to find Zhou Yuanfu and told him what happened today.
I told Zhou Yuanfu once.
Zhou Yuanfu also sighed with emotion: "He is indeed the son of destiny. It is really not easy to kill him."
"What kind of destiny's son? Isn't he just a straw sandal seller? Just find an opportunity to kill him next time." Cui Niupi said disapprovingly.
Zhou Yuanfu didn't bother to explain more, but just advised: "Since he missed it, it's better to let it go. If he goes again, he will realize that something is wrong. Besides, I don't know what will change in the future. Maybe Guan Yu will change his mind by then."
"No." Cui Niubi didn't want to just return the transformation collar. Seeing that Zhou Yuanfu wanted to give up, he quickly objected, "Brother, please give me a few more days, and I'll think of a solution."
Afraid of Zhou Yuanfu's objection, Cui Niubi hurriedly said: "That old man Tao is always asking about Gan Ning's affairs, and he seems to be very interested in Gan Ning's sister. Brother, you have to marry Gan Ning's sister back home as soon as possible.
Such a delicate beauty, I don’t know how many people will miss her."
"Didn't you say that he knew Gan Ning's father? It's appropriate for the son of an old friend to inquire. As for the good or bad appearance of Gan Mei, did you tell him quickly?" Zhou Yuanfu asked.
Cui Niubi stuck out his tongue, not daring to argue after all.
Zhou Yuanfu said earnestly: "Brother Cui, you don't need me to explain that disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. If you want to do big things for me in the future, you have to control your mouth."
Cui Niupi was in the wrong, and when he saw Zhou Yuanfu was going to nag him again, he hurriedly said that he should go back and think of ideas, and ran out. When he returned to the tent, he remembered Mrs. Yan, and argued with the mirror again, which was ridiculous several times.
After leaving the camp, it was already completely dark. Cui Niupi felt unwilling and walked towards the city alone.
Arriving in front of Liu Bei's residence, Cui Niupi randomly changed his appearance into a passerby and wandered around to see if there were any opportunities.
After a while, Liu Bei led Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun out of the door, talking as they walked, "Today we are going to meet General Dong with Captain Tao. You must be more careful when speaking, especially the third brother. If you speak uncontrollably,
If you offend General Dong, don't go out with me again."
Zhang Fei curled his lips and said: "I know, the worst thing is that you just don't say anything. The same goes for Captain Tao. He obviously walked through a small door to get there, but he still asked us to wait at the main entrance."
"Look, this is starting to sound stupid. Captain Tao is such a noble person, why not let us go to the main entrance and wait for a while?" Liu Bei said displeased.
Cui Niubi was in trouble as soon as he saw Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. With his own skills, even if he dealt with Liu Bei alone, he might not be able to take advantage. Not to mention that there were two masters on his side. It seemed that he had another chance.
It was a waste of time. These people went to follow Tao Qian and drink spicy food, but they had to go back drinking the northwest wind. Just thinking about it made them angry.
After walking a few steps, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he saw that the three of them had already walked away. Cui Niubi transformed into Zhang Fei and hurriedly walked towards Liu Bei's residence.
When the two gatekeepers saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised. They raised their hands and said, "How come General Zhang is back?"
"Damn it, when you get to the main gate, you ask me to go through the small door again. It's like you're toying with me!" Cui Niupi pretended to be angry and said.
The two soldiers saw that Zhang Fei was angry and did not dare to ask any more questions.
After Cui Niubi entered the house, he quickly ran to Tao Qian's courtyard. Thinking about the appearance of Tao Qian's attendant that he saw that day, he changed his appearance and went straight to the gate.
When Tao Qian's gatekeepers saw the attendants arriving, they hurriedly bowed to say hello. Cui Niubi pretended to be casual and said, "Have Liu Bei and the others arrived yet?"
One of the doormen said with a flattering smile: "Here we are, waiting at the door. Do you want to ask them to come in?"
Cui Niubi waved his hand and walked out with eight-character steps.
Liu Bei and the others naturally knew this person, so they hurriedly came forward and asked, "Thank you, brother, but Captain Tao will let us in?"
Cui Niubi said impatiently: "Are you getting impatient after waiting for a while?"
Zhang Fei snorted coldly when he heard this.
Liu Bei hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "No way, our brothers have just arrived. If something happens to Captain Tao, we will wait a little longer."
"Don't wait. Captain Tao is not feeling well today. I will take you to visit General Dong another day. I specially asked me to tell you. In this cold weather, I am almost freezing when I come out of the house." Cui
Niu Pi sniffed as he spoke, "You go back, Captain Tao specially told you not to go out today, so that I can summon you if anything happens."
Although Liu Bei felt confused, he did not dare to ask more questions, so he pulled Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun back.
Seeing that they were far away, Zhang Fei couldn't help complaining: "It's such a cold day for us to run away. If I had known, it would be better to have a drink in the house."
The two gatekeepers heard this and saw Zhang Fei complaining about going around in a circle, so they didn't take it seriously.
Cui Niupi sent the three of them away. When he saw Tao Qian's guards looking over, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said deliberately: "Look at my memory, your Excellency asked Liu Bei to wait here alone, and he might still have to go out. Alas.
, I still have to run, I don’t know if I can catch up. After catching up for a while, I went back to the house through the small door. These people walked pretty fast."
After hearing this, the gatekeepers all shook their heads, thinking that the servant had really done something wrong.
After a while, Liu Bei was seen slowly walking back from where he had been chased by his attendants. The gatekeepers did not take it seriously and left him waiting outside the door. Of course, this man was Cui Niupi's transformation, and Cui Niupi was very happy.
This time it was finally perfect. I had to ruin Liu Bei's reputation in order to relieve the hatred in my heart.
Not long after, Tao Qian came out with his attendants. Seeing that Liu Bei was the only one there, Tao Qian felt strange. The three of them had always been inseparable. But he didn't ask any more questions, and just told him lightly: "Xuande must be here today."
Be careful, General Dong has always been bold and bohemian, if he says something, don't take it seriously."
Cui Niubi cupped his hands and said, "Here, please keep this in mind and you won't be rash."
Tao Qian nodded and said nothing more.
When the carriage arrived, Cui Niupi quickly and respectfully helped Tao Qian onto the carriage, and then took the opportunity to get in himself.
Tao Qian was old, so he closed his eyes and meditated after getting in the car, while Cui Niupi remained silent beside him.
After walking for a while, Tao Qian suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Xuande, how have you considered what I said during the day?"
Cui Niupi was dumbfounded when he heard this. Could it be that they were discussing other things after he left? What should they do?
"This matter is of great importance, and I can't make a decision for a while!" Cui Niubi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said ambiguously.
Tao Qian nodded when he heard this, "I think people are right. Xuande will definitely achieve great things in the future, so I sincerely want to get married to you. If you already have a wife in your family, then this matter will be a bit tricky indeed.
"
Marriage? Is Tao Qian, an old boy, going to betroth his daughter to Liu Bei? Cui Niupi thought silently. Liu Bei must be hypocritical and refused to agree for a while to save his face. In this case, he exposed his face, so he raised his hand and said: "
I have thought about it, brothers are like brothers and sisters, and women are like clothes. Since it is the boss who cares about you, I will change my clothes, haha."
Tao Qian's eyes flashed, "Okay, a good brother is like a brother, and a woman is like clothes! Originally, I was worried that Xuande was too pedantic, which would affect his future, but looking at it now, I was worrying too much, haha."
Cui Niubi laughed twice and then stopped laughing. Originally, he wanted to create trouble for Liu Bei, but in the end, he played into Tao Qian's hands and found a wife for Liu Bei. This business was a huge loss.
"Although I mean it, I don't know if the girl agrees with it?" Cui Niupi thought about it and could only try to save it this way.
"It doesn't matter, I can find a husband for her. It's too late for her to be happy, so how can she refuse? A little thief like Zhou Cang has such wishful thinking, how can I watch Ganmei jump into the fire pit."
