"The Mi family is a wealthy businessman in the East China Sea. Naturally, they are very concerned about the movements of the four parties. Mi Fang came here this time just to inquire about the news. She will not leave until there is a result in this matter."
When he heard that Jia Xu was going to Zhongmou, Yu Xian felt a little panicked.
But this is not something he can control, and there is no use in thinking about it.
Yu Xian had no choice but to continue asking, "Since Mi Fang wanted to find out the news, why didn't she go to Zhongmou instead of coming to Hulao Pass?"
That man knew a thing or two about this.
"I heard that Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others did not want to accept the imperial edict. But they were under the banner of King Qin, and they came with important ministers of the court. It would be a bit unreasonable to ignore it completely. So they all sent I have asked my close friends to come here to see what Zhu Jun’s idea is.”
"When the envoy arrives at Zhongmou, it will be a place that attracts everyone's attention. He is a businessman, and it is too conspicuous to appear there. It happens that Hulao Pass is not far away, and the guard here, Cao Bao, is a guest general from Xuzhou, and we have a good relationship with him. So Mi Fang came here to wait for news."
After hearing this, Yu Xian nodded secretly, and that was true.
In this turbulent era, it may not be a good thing for a businessman to dance too much.
As for the reaction of Yuan Shao and others, it was not surprising.
These guys ignored Zhu Jun at first, but now that they saw the imperial edict coming, they wanted to push Zhu Jun out to take the blame.
According to their preliminary plan, they planned to jointly elect the highly respected Zhu Jun as the Grand Master to fight against the rebellion of the Chang'an court. In order to strengthen Zhu Jun's confidence, they even urgently sent some troops to help defend against Cheng Gao.
It's just a pity.
Uncle Zhu has more tricks than them...
Yu Xian thought for a moment and then asked, "A few days ago when you came back from selling fish, I heard you mention that a distinguished guest would be visiting the Mi family. Do you know who it is?"
That person doesn't know much.
"I heard that he is a distant descendant of the city's captain Cao Bao, who seems to be named Cao Chun or something. The Mi family also has some connections, and many people who come to Zhongmou have been invited."
Yu Xian had a rough idea and smiled at the man, "That's a good answer, but it's a pity that there is no prize."
Although that person was expecting it, he was inevitably disappointed.
Just when the man stood up to leave, Yu Xian suddenly glanced at him and said with a smile, "Wait a minute."
When the man heard this, he immediately had a lot of expectations, and quickly turned around and said, "Although the old god gives you orders."
Yu Xian did not make any extravagance, pointed to his back, and said slowly, "I am quite happy to have my children with me during the day. It's just that wild dogs occasionally disturb my peace at night. I don't want to kill, so you can take those children with me." How about you leave the stick and let me drive away the wild dogs?"
Hearing this, the man touched his back in surprise, and soon realized that he quickly took out the pole behind him and said flatteringly, "Old god, this pole is a bit tricky. How about I go find a better wooden stick for you."
Yu Xian smiled when he heard this and said, "That's fine, I'll ask someone else for it."
After saying that, he glanced at the children.
The man immediately panicked and hurriedly handed the pole to Yu Xian, "That's not what I mean, I'm just afraid that the old god won't like this clumsy thing."
Yu Xian glanced at the pole. Although there was countless eagerness in his eyes, he did not dare to pick it up.
He thought for a while and asked the man, "I don't know what you want in return for this opportunity."
Yu Xian deliberately emphasized his voice.
The man was not spiritually enlightened, he just thought that he had won the favor of the old god again and had obtained the so-called opportunity.
He quickly said, "I just hope that the old god can help me enlighten some carps again so that I can save more money."
Yu Xian was overjoyed when he heard this.
But if he wanted to get this thing cleanly, he couldn't say a word.
"This opportunity of yours is precious. Are you sure you will just trade some carp with me?"
"This?" The man hesitated for a while, but he saw that Yu Xian was trapped under the city. Even if he had any magical powers, his abilities would probably be limited.
Moreover, this old god is a very clear-minded person. How much benefit can he get from a carrying pole?
It is better to lighten the fresh fish.
That man was completely unaware of the difference between "this opportunity" in Yu Xian's words and "this opportunity" in his opinion.
The man said firmly, "Just some carp is enough."
Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "Excellent."
He reached out and took the carrying pole, finally showing his unconcealable joy.
He tried to use mana to input it, but the pole did not respond at all.
Yu Xian couldn't figure out the truth, but he wasn't in a hurry. There would always be time to figure it out later.
He nodded and said deliberately, "Well, that's right, it's just an ordinary carrying pole."
Then, he asked the man, "How many days do you want me to help you enlighten the carp?"
The man hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "How about January?"
Yu Xian laughed loudly after hearing this, "It's also very good. Just go ahead."
After saying that, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the pole in one gulp.
The man was overjoyed to receive Yu Xian's promise. When he saw Yu Xian swallowing such a long pole into his belly, he couldn't help but be shocked and speechless.
Could it be that this old immortal was going to this pole to nibble on something to eat?
He hurriedly said politely, "I still have some good firewood. Although it is not delicious, it is very good for grinding my teeth. I will give it to the old god to relieve his boredom."
Yu Xian laughed after hearing this.
He was in a good mood at the moment and didn't bother to pay attention. He opened his mouth and blew out smoke, covering his figure.
"You all go, Pindao is a little tired today."
When everyone dispersed, Yu Xian did not immediately check the pole in his hand.
Although the carrying pole appeared unremarkable, Yu Xian had a strong premonition.
This is the treasure sent by Dong Zhuo to suppress the Chenggao territory.
Because this is not the first time Yu Xian has seen this thing.
The last time Yu Xian passed by Chenggao, he had seen that old guy Zuoqiu Junyi get this thing from the mountain. However, this thing was really ordinary. When Yu Xian and Guan Hai laughed at it, Zuoqiu Junyi himself felt that he had done something.
Stupid thing.
In anger, he threw the pole down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, after so long, Yu Xian saw it on a woodcutter.
Yu Xian was a Taoist monk.
How could he remain indifferent when something suspicious appeared in front of him twice?
After a long time, when the crowd dispersed, the sun set, and the city gate was locked.
Yu Xian then opened his mouth and spit out the pole from the acupuncture point of his liver.
He smiled and said, "You and I are indeed destined."
When you hold it in your hand, you can see that it has nothing special about a shoulder pole except that it has been worn smooth by years of use.
Yu Xian couldn't help itchy hands, and simply tried several methods. Unfortunately, no matter whether it was blood drops, spells, or runes, he couldn't get any feedback from above.
Yu Xian thought about it and threw it into his mouth, "It doesn't matter, no matter you are ordinary or supernatural, since you have this fate, just follow me from now on."
