"If I guess correctly, there should be no other person named Jiang Wan in the world."
Jiang Wan raised his eyes calmly. At this moment, his momentum had completely overwhelmed Xing Daorong, and he no longer felt as isolated and helpless as Lingling did at that time.
No... It should be said that now Xing Daorong is not even qualified to talk to Jiang Wan face to face.
Xing Daorong was a prisoner, and the opportunity to attend the banquet at this moment was indispensable for Jiang Wan's tolerance.
But facing Jiang Wan, all Xing Daorong's previous beautiful illusions were shattered.
run?
This was the first way out that Xing Daorong thought of.
No matter how you think about it, you know that if Jiang Wan is still worried about the previous targeting of him, then you can imagine how much suffering he will have in Cao's camp from now on.
What is Jiang Wan's rank?
Xing Daorong didn't understand, but seeing that Cao Cao was so polite to Jiang Wan, and even heard Jiang Wan say that he was going to be released, he had no objection - at least Jiang Wan was also a counselor who wanted to be the master like Xun You, right?
Just look at Zhuge Liang and you will know.
The advisers around a power lord do not depend on the size of his official position. If you want, like Liu Bei or Cao Cao, you can give them as big an official as you want.
The status of a counselor has a vague feeling of being superior to everyone.
But...under such circumstances, to escape...where can he escape?
Xing Daorong's legs were numb, not because of the pain in his soles, but because of fear.
He was afraid of death. Although no one was afraid of death, Xing Daorong, who had not yet made any achievements and had only left a record of defeats, really didn't want to die incognito like this.
After probably fighting for half a stick of incense in his mind, Xing Daorong's feet moved.
Cao Cao's eyes became sharp at that moment.
Because before Xing Daorong came, Jiang Wan told Cao Cao that if Xing Daorong saw him and planned to escape, he would kill him.
He couldn't even recognize this formality, and thought that if he was concerned about trivial matters in the past, Xing Daorong would not be worthy of working under Jiang Wan.
Just when Cao Cao thought that Xing Daorong was really going to escape, so he had already put his hand on the sword at his waist, Jiang Wan stretched out his hand and suppressed Cao Cao's movement.
"Gong Yan?"
Cao Cao cast a confused look, but Jiang Wan just shook his head.
Sure enough, Xing Daorong did not escape.
Taking a step back, Xing Daorong made a splash, and with his heavy body, he knelt heavily on the ground.
His rather loud voice seemed quite hollow at the moment, probably because he had overcome his fear. Jiang Wan only heard him shout:
"Gong Yan! What I did against you in Lingling was wrong! If you are willing to forgive me..."
"Please... please give me a chance! I understand... If I follow Liu Bei, or Liu Xian and the others, I, Xing Daorong, may not die, but I will only be inactive for the rest of my life!"
"But... I... I, Xing Daorong, still hope that one day I can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield - and I don't want to be called a loser with nothing but appearances -"
"Gong...Gong Yan...and the Prime Minister! Please...please...you must give me this chance! No matter what it is...I...I am willing to do it!"
If you put aside Xing Daorong's funny fat body and just listen to this confession, everyone will be moved.
Of course Jiang Wan would not change his nature just because of a few words from Xing Daorong.
As he analyzed with Cao Cao before:
"Xing Daorong is arrogant, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In terms of force, there may be many good players in our army who can defeat him, but this person still has some brains - and sir, he has given me a necessary task
What needs to be done, apart from Xing Daorong, no one is more suitable for this task than him at the moment, so it is best for him not to die..."
"Of course, it all depends on his own destiny."
Cao Cao heard it half-understood, but it did not affect Cao Cao's trust in Jiang Wan and Yi Xiaotian.
After knowing that Yi Xiaotian and Jiang Wan had an explanation, Cao Cao had reason to spare his life even if the defeated general was really a worthless waste.
Now, Xing Daorong has arrived.
Since Xing Daorong spoke so sincerely.
Jiang Wan no longer had any worries.
Finally, a smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xing Daorong actually felt a little guilty.
Really not hearing the statements of the two people opposite him, Xing Daorong quietly raised his eyes and took a look.
As a result, seeing Cao Cao and Jiang Wan both smiling, Xing Daorong felt temporarily relieved.
"Since General Xing has said so, if I continue to hold on to the past, I will be too tolerant."
"But...actually, as long as General Xing didn't escape just now, I have no plans to do anything to General Xing."
"General Xing said he was willing to do anything. Can I take it seriously?"
Jiang Wan, who looked like his plan had succeeded, looked at Xing Daorong without any surprise and spoke lightly.
"Take it seriously! As long as I, Xing Daorong, can do it, I will definitely try my best to do it!"
Xing Daorong nodded like a fool. He finally got the other party's forgiveness. He knew that he had saved his life. Of course, he would do whatever the other party said.
"What if it can't be done?"
Jiang Wan's sudden words made Xing Daorong a little confused.
"Then...then I will try my best...right?"
"Okay! General Xing is so brave! It just so happens that there is still an important task in our army that we don't have a suitable candidate for. If that's the case, how about General Xingdao Rongxing takes over!"
Perhaps Jiang Wan's momentum was too strong. It was difficult for Xing Daorong, who was in a state of emotional turmoil, to refuse such righteous words.
As soon as he heard that he was indispensable and that it was an important task, Xing Daorong didn't think much about anything. When his mind got hot, he responded loudly:
"Gong Yan! There is also the Prime Minister! You can rest assured! No matter how difficult the task is, if I... Lingling... oh no... Xing Daorong, the former Lingling general and the number one warrior in Jingnan, will take charge, there will be nothing that cannot be solved.
!”
"good!!"
Cao Cao was also holding the fire next to him. Hearing Xing Daorong's hook, he shouted and raised his wine cup with laughter.
"General Xing is a true hero! I'll give you a toast, do you dare to accept it?"
"Why don't you dare!!"
When Xing Daorong saw Cao Cao like this, he was so excited that he directly picked up the wine jar on the side, lifted it up and poured it into his mouth.
This night was probably the most unrestrained moment of Xing Daorong's life.
Because in the early morning of the next day, when Xing Daorong was carried out of the city gate in his sleep, Li Fu on the opposite side threw him a series of equipment such as horses, dry food, etc., and handed him a letter from Jiang Wan.
After writing the letter in person, he turned around and left.
Only Xing Daorong was left alone, disheveled in the cold wind of early winter.
