Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Xu Shu To Throw
189 A. D.
This was the fifth year Zhang Chao had been here.
At this time, Zhang Chao was already twenty-two years old. He was a beautiful age. Compared to a few years ago, he had a lot of maturity on his body.
In the backyard of the Second Young Master’s Mansion, Zhang Chao was lowering his head and carefully taking care of a vegetable field that covered an area of about three acres.
From afar, the entire vegetable field looked like a light brown, not a pure green like an ordinary vegetable garden. This is all because this is not a vegetable but an oval-shaped poppy.
How could Zhang Chao, who had lived in the Golden Triangle for decades, not know what poppy was? He could even be called an expert in this field.
The role of the opium poppy is too broad. It can be used for anesthesia, treatment of diarrhea and relieving cough. They could lose their minds and their fighting spirit by using the outside world to fight against their enemies.
This was definitely a powerful weapon. In the past two years, Zhang Chao had devoted a portion of his energy to this path. Finally, these finished poppies were grown.
This was also a forbidden area. Without Zhang Chao’s permission, no one was allowed to enter the forbidden area. Bai Tong was also curious about what exactly was going on here, but after looking at it from afar, she was very puzzled. Zhang Chao said that this was medicine to the public. Hua Tuo had also come forward to prove that this thing could indeed anesthetize people’s nerves and be used to treat traumatic injuries.
After picking up the pick and tidying up the ground, Zhang Chao’s body had already started to sweat. He seemed to have returned to the time when he planted poppy in the Golden Triangle. The only difference was that at that time, a large group of brothers had planted the poppy together. However, before the poppy turned into a real product, he would not be at ease handing it over to someone else.
“Second Childe.” Just as Zhang Chao stopped and wanted to rest for a while, Bai Tong’s soft shout came from the side of the door.
Knowing that Bai Tong must have something important to do at this time, Zhang Chao tidied up his clothes and walked out of the backyard, “Tong’er, what’s the matter?”
“Second Childe, someone from the capital has arrived. It’s a person named Xu Shu. He said that he was recommended by Great Scholar Cai. I have something important to tell you.” As soon as Bai Tong saw Zhang Chao, she immediately handed over a dry towel and said while patting the mud on Second Childe’s body.
“Xu Shu?” Upon hearing this name, a trace of joy appeared on Zhang Chao’s face.
Others don’t know this person, zhang chao heart is really clear, this is a talent comparable to zhuge liang, early is he assisted liu bei, only then defeated cao cao, seized a place. If he insisted on speaking about his life, he could use sixteen words to describe it. It was Xingxia Jianghu, abandoning martial arts and obeying culture, recommending talented people, and waiting on his mother to return to Cao.
He never thought that this person would be recommended to Chen Liu by his father-in-law.
If one were to talk about it, this would be the first great genius to be recommended by someone to come to his place on their own initiative. Zhang Chao could be said to have attached great importance to it.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Zhang Chao took a towel and wiped his cheeks, then accompanied by Bai Tong, he headed towards the front yard.
In the reception room of the front yard, country is accompanying cao cao here to talk.
Speaking of which, when country and cao cao youth are YingChuan generation of celebrities, are a little famous people, can meet here today, naturally is to have a good chat.
“I never thought that Yuan Zhi would have such an experience.” After listening to cao cao finish these few years, especially after the experience in prison, country is sighed.
Country laments is cao cao kill people.
Cao Shu loved fencing when he was young, and he was a chivalrous warrior, so he often pretended to be a benevolent warrior. In the late years of Zhongping (188), he complained on behalf of others, killed them and escaped before being captured by officers and soldiers. Coincidentally, the great scholar Cai Yong learned of this matter. He knew that this person was very capable and had good knowledge, so he stepped forward to find Zuo Feng.
Every year, zhang chao will ask someone to give zuo feng some money, this together with his respect for sorted, this way, cao cao was saved from prison, and then sorted was recommended to zhang chao.
For zhang chao, cao cao naturally also heard, know that this person is young and promising, capable of literature and martial arts, and is the guangling satrap of the imperial court, general dang kou, also have the intention to make friends, this time have a chance, and return the favor, was sorted said, is directly toward Chen liu.
“Yes.” Hearing Country’s sigh, Cao Shu also said bluntly, “If it weren’t for Great Scholar Cai’s help this time, I’m afraid my life would be in danger.”
“Yes, yes. Scholar Cai is a good person and a role model for us scholars. Oh right, he is also our Second Young Master’s father-in-law, hahaha.” Country said here can’t help but laugh.
“Brother Fengxiao, how is Second Young Master?” Xu Shu asked curiously.
“En, I can’t tell you about this matter.” Guo Jia smiled and shook his head. He looked out and saw Zhang Chao and Bai Tong walking over. He said, “It’s better for you to take a look for yourself, hahaha.”
Following the country’s line of sight, cao cao turned around, this saw a white clothed zhang chao and a long skirt of white tong.
According to rumors, Chen Liu Second Childe was usually dressed in white. In addition to his age, he was also well-matched. Especially when he was far older and calm. How could Xu Shu not recognize him? He immediately stood up and took a step forward before lowering his body to say, “Yingchuan Xu Shu greets General Zhang.”
Xu Shu’s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, showing his pride.
At this time, Xu Shu was less than twenty years old and had the will of a young man. Although Cai Yong recommended it, he still wanted to see if Zhang Chao was the master. If not, he would also turn around and leave.
“Yuan Zhi doesn’t need to be so polite.” Zhang Chao naturally had a smile on his face, but his attitude towards talented people had always been like this.
Zhang Chao reached out his hand to support Xu Shu’s arms. He gently exerted force. What he didn’t expect was that this person was quite powerful, and he unknowingly added a bit of strength.
In the past few years, Zhang Chao had trained quite a bit. Sometimes, he went to the courtyard to train with Zhang Jiajun, and sometimes he practiced the Five Birds Game that Hua Tuo taught him. Adding on the good food and sturdy physique, this force straightened Xu Shu’s body.
Standing upright again, Cao Shu’s expression carried a trace of satisfaction. He knew that Zhang Chao was a young man who had become famous. Normally, such a person would be dazzled by a false name. If that was the case, he would slack off in his physical training. It was impossible for such a person to let him be loyal to him. However, it was obvious that this Second Young Master was not.
After helping Xu Shu up, Zhang Chao casually patted his shoulder and said, “Come on, Yuan Zhi, what do you need to say?”
Zhang Chao’s casualness made Xu Shu feel as if he was talking to an old friend, making the distance between the two of them shorten a lot in an instant.
On the side of the country watching this scene, can’t help but laugh in the heart, he knows master is interested in this cao cao, otherwise would not have such a casual action. For example, in the past two years, there had been people who had come to defect. However, most of them had met a person and handed it over to him to arrange a seat for him. However, whoever could sit down and chat properly was someone that they valued in their hearts.
Facts have also proved that those who are randomly arranged, but are just figure has its name, the real ability is really not much, country also don’t know what kind of xiangren zhang chao is, how to meet on one side can make a correct judgment, as if for whose ability has long been known.
“Yuan Zhi, you were recommended by my father-in-law. You even said that you have something important to tell me. May I know if you can tell me now?” After sitting down, Zhang Chao smiled and said to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu indeed came with news, and Zhang Chao asked, so he said truthfully, “This time, Great Scholar Cai asked me to tell the general only one piece of news, that is, the Spirit Emperor’s health is not very good.”
“Yes.” Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Chao did not look surprised at all. Instead, he was extremely calm, as if he had already known about this news.
In fact, some Heavenly Eye members had already reported the Spirit Emperor’s physical condition on time. Zhang Chao naturally paid close attention to the changes in the Emperor’s body. This was because only when this person truly died would the world be in chaos and his chance truly come.
“Alright, I already know about this matter. Feng Xiao, arrange for Yuan Zhi to stay here and take the lead.” Zhang Chao saw cao cao seemed to have no words, so he stood up and instructed the country to the side. After giving the order, he nodded to Bai Tong, and the two of them were about to walk out.
In terms of military counselor rank, his status was already very high. At least in zhang chao here, can now occupy this position but only two people, is country and lu su. Now that there was another cao shu, it could be seen that he valued this person.
After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he had to leave. Guo Jia, who was well aware of the importance of his position, hurriedly whispered to Xu Shu, “Thank you, Lord. You don’t know that the Military Counselor position is the highest rank among the advisors here.”
Xu Shu did not know how important the rank of military counselor was, but hearing Guo Jia’s words, he knew that he was valued. He immediately had a puzzled expression on his face. Could it be that because he was recommended by Cai Yong, he didn’t ask anything and was sealed such an important position? How could this be a joke?
Xu Shu was very suspicious of Zhang Chao’s arbitrariness, so when he was about to walk out of the living room, he shouted, “Wait!”
After a while, Zhang Chao and Bai Tong both turned their heads and asked, “What, is there anything else for Yuan Zhi? Oh, right, you are also very respectful and filial like me. In this way, Tong’er, let the people from the Heavenly Eyes Organization immediately bring Yuan Zhi’s mother to Chen Liu and bring more money. You must eat and drink deliciously along the way, and you must not neglect her.”
“Yes, Second Young Master.” Bai Tong hurriedly agreed.
Zhang Chao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xu Shu and asked, “Yuan Zhi, is there anything else?”
