Chen Xi wiped the bell that hee didn't know if it was covered in sweat or rain, and the mental power used to block the rain was inadvertently dissipated. It seems that guessing the truth really scared Chen Xi.
"Chen Xi, why are you here? You don't even hold an umbrella!" Liu Bei saw Chen Xi standing in the rain, neither holding an umbrella nor spreading his mental energy out. He was shocked. If the slight chill in the rain seeps in Chen Xi, whose physical fitness is not good, he will have to lie down at home.
"So that you don't have to fight again. Xu Chu tied Gan Ning first. Don't kill him. That guy has a very important role." Chen Xi said. With Liu Bei reminder, Chen Xi felt the slight chill on his body, and opened up his mental power to wrap himself in it. Tomorrow he will be able to wrap himself in a quilt at home without going to work in the government office.
"County guard, don't worry, this kind of master is not that fragile." Xu Chu said. Then he walked over to squat down and grabbed Gan Ning's collar. Then he directly blocked Gan Ning's inner qi and carried him over.
"How did Chen Xi know that the head of the thieves was named Gan Ning? Yu Jin had to take down all the thieves and bandits before he knew that the guy who fought against Xu Chu was named Gan Ning." Liu Bei dragged Chen Xi under the eaves and asked curiously.
"This thing is a sign." Chen Xi took out the golden bell and said with a grin. "This guy was originally a general who I planned to send someone to recruit. He was also the admiral of the navy who I was going to introduce to Liu Bei, but I only knew that this guy was a pirate in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. I didn't know the exact location. But I didn't expect him to come to our site now and have a misunderstandings when he came!"
"Huh?" Liu Bei was surprised, and reacted after a while. Reach out to Yu Jin, he said, "Yu Jin, go bring me the Lu family manger and ask him what's going on."
Lu Jun, who was dressed in confucian costume and looked slightly pale, walked over, "Jiangdong, Lu family, Lu Jun, has met Liu Bei, and Chen Xi."
Chen Xi nodded slightly. He couldn't look at others unscrupulously, so he nodded a little to show respect, and made sure the other person could not see his expression. Then he carefully peeped at Lu Jun. According to the record, he should be Lu Xun's father, a very good character, but he died a bit early due to his poor health.
"No need to be polite." Liu Bei waved his hand to indicate that Lu Jun doesn't need to be strict, and just speak freely. "Lu Jun, you can send one or two butlers for business affairs. Why are you here personally? I don't lack this thing in Taishan."
Lu Jun smiled bitterly. Although he was held hostage all the way to Taisahn, he didn't suffer any hardships on the way. Therefore, he knew something about Taishan. Chen Xi, who slightly nodded and stood behind Liu Bei, was the person who plan the rebuilding of Taishan. He naturally guessed why Liu Bei's forces was so cautious. They were lucking in the abyss to save power!
Although, his Lu family did not pay attention to Taishan, but because of what he saw along the way, Lu Jun had a lot of expectations for Taishan. And because his Lu family had very few descendants, the clan was not hard to move. They were also not a big family that can bet on several people separately.
The Lu family belonged to a strange family. They have a lot of businesses, but the clan's lineage was only two or three people per generation, so the business was no longer needed if it caused troubles. Once they cleaned up their things, they could leave. They didn't even need to prepare!
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jun sat on the carriage and carefully observed the situation of Taishan. Seeing the prosperous situation of Taishan, Lu Jun felt that it was necessary for him to invest more in Taishan, or at least try the water. Although they have very few people, a cunning rabbit has three holes! Maybe it will be used when necessary, and he heard from Mi Zhu that Liu Bei is a pretty good person.
Lu Jun slowly told the whole matter, speaking purely from the perspective of a third party, and did not show favoritism to any party.
Liu Bei and Chen Xi looked at each other, then Chen Xi nodded slightly. This kind of thing was purely accidental, but after it happened it became extremely reasonable.
"It was my mistake. It's not yours. I will apologize to Gan Ning." Liu Bei directly took Gan Ning's mistake on himself. Whether it was Gan Ning's performance just now or Gan Ning character from their conversations Liu Bei was very happy to invite. This is his own people, and he can't let him be bullied by outsiders. Liu Bei directly pushed himself up, then secretly reached out to Chen Xi.
"It's not your fault, Lu Jun. I didn't expect this to happen. Since Gan Ning didn't hurt anyone, the matters should be brought to light. As for the loss, Taishan will compensate you. Lu Jun should not refuse. I have caused trouble for the Lu family and naturally needs to compensate them, so that Lu Jun will not abandon us." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face. He could see that Lu Jun did not intend to accept the compensation from himself and others, but sometimes the compensation was needed in order to get closer next time.
He beckoned and signaled to Yu Jin to come over. He knew that Yu Jin had a copy of the Thirty-Six Strategies that Chen Xi had written under the name of Sun Bin Qingxi. Yu Jin was very much like this book, so he always carried it on him. What he wants to do now is to let Yu Jin go scrap the thirty-six strategies, so that the broken book can make people think about the following content infinitely...
Gan Ning soon recovered. It have to be said that these generals will recover as long as they are not dead. As soon as he opened his eyes, Gan Ning roared angrily at Liu Bei, "I was a fooled to believe in a villain! Kill me if you want!" After speaking, he turned his head, expressing his desired to be cut at the neck.
"..." Chen Xi looked at Gan Ning speechlessly, that was too personal. Chen Xi then said, "Liu Bei, leave Gan Ning to me. I will let him understand the actual situation and supplement the hole in his understanding."
"Chen Xi be careful. Xu Chu!" Liu Bei nodded, then left Xu Chu there.
"Now there are only three of us left. Gan Ning, don't you know it is bad to robbed people. You actually robbed the private property of Liu Bei. This can be considered as flooding the Dragon King Temple. Okay! If you robbed it, just robbed it. Why did you bring the Lu family over and make us frightened! Didn't you compare the difference between Taishan and Yuzhou along the way? We are a big fat meat when the army is not ready. And we don't have a clear relationship with the Lu family. The Lu family shouldn't have come. What do you think we would have thought when you came?" Chen Xi didn't persuade Gan Ning, but just said what happened!
Although Gan Ning yelled loudly, he did not take this matter to heart. After all, he was still young and his great youth hadn't been squandered. He would never be reconciled to die like this. After listening to Chen Xi's words, Gan Ning also thought along the words. He was too arrogant and a fool. After a little thought, he understood what Chen Xi meant.
"You are saying that you think of me as a person who was sent to test Taishan strength?" Gan Ning stared at Chen Xi, hoping to see Chen Xi's inner thoughts from Chen Xi's face.
"You know the truth yourself, and we want to ask what you are doing. Fortunately there is this, otherwise Xu Chu will definitely split you in half!" Chen Xi took out the golden bell and shook it twice, "We sent people to recruit you. I didn't expect you to come to Taishan. Sure enough, you are destined to Taishan. How about joining us? You will become the leader of the navy under Liu Bei! I know you are not convinced about losing to Xu Chu, and I know you are good at water warfare. How about it?"
