() Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiu agreeing to his invitation to accompany him. Friendship with such a high-star historical general was hard to come by, so he couldn't let go of this opportunity now.
It can also pave the way for what will happen in the future. As for what it is, it is still the same sentence. I am in Xiliang and have a star system. If I don't poach Dong Zhuo's corner, who can I poach?
Qin Xiaobai then ordered the militiamen to immediately close the stall and meet him at the designated place after buying the pork, and then went to Laifeng Tower with Zhang Xiu.
Along the way, Qin Xiaobai kept talking about Ren Xia and leading the army. From time to time, he praised Zhang Xiu's reputation as Ren Xia and his ability in training troops. He also humbly asked for advice and discussed with him the method of uniting troops.
Zhang Xiu was subject to strict requirements from his uncle since he was a child. Later, he went up to the mountains to practice marksmanship with Tong Yuan, a master of marksmanship. However, because his qualifications were considered insufficient by Tong Yuan, he never received a word of praise.
After coming down from the mountain, relying on his uncle's relationship and his own strength, he became the captain of the Shangcheng Administration Brigade not long ago, and he was still just starting out.
At this time, when he heard that a village commander whose official position was not inferior to his own praised him so much and even humbly asked for advice on how to command troops, his pride in his martial arts ability was instantly satisfied and he felt that Qin Xiaobai was very easy to get along with.
When Qin Xiaobai saw Bai Lang's flattery, his friend's degree increased slowly. Along the way, it increased to more than 20, and he was very happy.
However, the happy time always passed quickly, and soon the two of them arrived at the 'Laifeng Tower'.
"Servant, there are several banquets here, but has the music director set up a banquet?" It was already noon, and Qin Xiaobai was also hungry. Seeing that he had already arrived at Laifeng Tower, he knew there was nothing he could do.
In order to persuade Zhang Xiu to continue to improve his friendship level, he was more generous and called the waiter to inquire about the banquet and pay homage to the internal organs.
"Wuwei County has closed its city gates, and merchants can only go in and out. As a result, the price of vegetables in the city has increased several times, and small shops have to increase prices accordingly. Therefore, business is very deserted today. There is only one banquet table. As for the banquet,
"Young man, I don't know his name, let alone whether he is a senior citizen."
The bored waiter saw the customer and quickly stood up to greet him. His hands and feet were very quick and he quickly answered the customer's questions.
Qin Xiaobai and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, and then joked: "Brother Zhang and I are the same person who won't entertain you?"
Zhang Xiu thought about it seriously and said, "It's possible that I don't know that person, but that person said he brought a letter from my uncle and asked me to come and pick it up today. As of today, no one will enter the city."
It’s just the music director that Brother Qin told you about.”
Qin Xiaobai was slightly startled. After thinking about it based on Zhang Xiu's words, he found that it was really possible. He was overjoyed. Chatting together was at best a pleasant conversation. If we had a banquet together, then we could be considered fair-weather friends.
Are fair-weather friends also friends?
So Qin Xiaobai and Zhang Xiu walked upstairs under the guidance of the waiter.
But at this moment, two people came down the stairs. The stairs were narrow and one party had to give way before they could pass.
Relatively speaking, Qin Xiaobai and others have already walked most of the stairs, and the two people upstairs have not yet gone down the stairs. Normally, it is the people upstairs who should do it.
However, one of the two people on the other side, a big man with a gray scarf and a hood on his head, his nostrils pointed upward, seemed to ignore Qin Xiaobai, Zhang Xiu and the waiter, and walked directly downstairs.
Qin Xiaobai didn't care, so the waiter naturally gave in, but Zhang Xiu, who was just starting out and still full of youthful enthusiasm, naturally refused to give in. He snorted coldly and walked straight up the stairs.
Seeing that the two of them were about to collide, Qin Xiaobai was not worried. Who was the spear king of the North? In terms of single combat in Xiliang, few people could defeat him.
At this moment, a man who looked like a scribe, who had been standing quietly upstairs, stopped the big man in gray scarf, smiled slightly at Qin Xiaobai and Zhang Xiu, and made a greeting with one hand.
posture.
After the man in gray scarf was stopped by the scribe, he glanced at the scribe with a cold look in his eyes. However, he saw that the seemingly weak scribe still responded with a calm and elegant smile. The man in gray scarf flashed a cold light in his eyes, and did not hide his venomous look at all.
, but eventually stopped moving forward.
Seeing that they had already retreated, Zhang Xiu did not step forward to cause trouble for them and walked over.
Qin Xiaobai was slightly curious about the relationship between the scribe and the big man in gray turban. Seeing that the scribe had a detached temperament and seemed to be a man of great talent, he quickly opened his insight scan and found that the attributes of the two were also question marks.
This was the second time Qin Xiaobai had encountered this situation. The first time was the clumsy-looking scholar in the refugee camp, which made him confused.
However, this insight was not without gain. Qin Xiaobai discovered that the gray-turbaned man was a Qiang. Wuwei County was deploying all its forces to suppress the rebellion of a small Qiang tribe. In order to prevent spies from mixing in, three
The gates of Wuwei City were closed during the day, and the Qiang people in the city had already been expelled. Why would there be any Qiang people there again?
Although he had some doubts in his mind, they did not seem to be directly related to his interests. Qin Xiaobai went upstairs and passed the two of them without stopping, and continued walking to the third floor.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Xiaobai and Zhang Xiu arrived at a large room on the third floor of Laifeng Tower.
"Hey, it turns out that Brother Qin and Brother Zhang have known each other for a long time. That's better, so I can save the effort of introducing them." As expected, the person in the room was the music director Xiaochi, who knew Qin Xiaobai very well.
He and Zhang Xiula went to sit down at the banquet.
Then he ordered the waiter to immediately change the banquet on the table to another table, and then took out a letter and gave it to Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu got the letter, he immediately opened it and read it.
Qin Xiaobai was very observant. Most of the banquets on the table were intact, with only slight traces of eating. There were three pairs of used bowls and chopsticks on the table, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Zhang and I went upstairs just now.
At that time, a big man in gray turban almost got into a conflict with Brother Zhang. Fortunately, a young scholar who looked like a scholar stopped him. I saw that the young scholar had a detached temperament, so I really wanted to get acquainted with him."
"Haha, that's my second brother-in-law and... I don't know those two people. They dare to conflict with Brother Zhang. I must take this matter back next time I see you." Xiaochi Zhenqu said halfway through his long words.
Suddenly he realized something and quickly changed his mind.
Naturally, Qin Xiaobai could tell that Chief Qu of Xiaochi Town knew about it, but was unwilling to say it for some reason, so he immediately made an insinuation and said, "I haven't asked Brother Qu for his surname yet. It's really rude."
The scribe has an aloof temperament, and the big man looks like an extraordinary figure, not to mention the famous historical general Zhang Xiu. Anyone who can interact with these three people may be a figure who has left a name in history.
And judging from Qu Chang's appearance, there is something extremely urgent and important to enter the city. Could it be related to those two people? There is also a Qiang person among them. When the Qiang people rebelled on the front line, he had a secret meeting with the Qiang people. This matter is a bit strange.
, so Qin Xiaobai became interested in this matter again.
If Qu Chang was really a person who had a name in history, Qin Xiaobai believed that he would be able to determine what happened based on his deeds.
Seeing the waiter change the bowls and chopsticks again, Qu Chang poured a glass of wine for Qin Xiaobai himself, and then said with a smile: "Brother Qin, just call me a winner."
"Successful person?" Qin Xiaobai picked up the wine glass and continued to ask without knowing what was going on.
"The so-called successful person must have two things: first, don't tell others everything you know..." Qu Chang drank the drink in one gulp, and then said a little thoughtfully.
"Oh...that's it." Qin Xiaobai was stretching his neck to wait for Qu Chang's second sentence, but Qu Chang was silent for a long time, and instead started to pour himself a drink, suddenly enlightened.
And he felt that Qu Chang, who seemed like a playboy, had an instant burst of intelligence. He lamented that he should not underestimate the heroes of the world. An NPC who might leave his name in history must have a strong intelligence. His previous image of a playboy must have been intentional.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Qin has realized it. Just realize it, so I won't tell you that I am Niu Fu." Just when Qin Xiaobai thought that the intelligence of this Qu Chang was at least that of a prince's military advisor, he
But suddenly this sentence came...
"Pfft" after spitting out a mouthful of wine, Qin Xiaobai felt that his average IQ had been lowered by the person in front of him...
But then he suddenly caught something and exclaimed in shock: "Are you really Dong Zhuo's son-in-law?"
