After a bumpy journey, the group's boat finally arrived in Jiangxia the next day.

"Mr. Han Song is a famous person in Jingzhou, and his house is easy to find. Once you get to Jiangxia City, it will be my land. I will take you all the way there." After getting off the boat, Huang An excitedly waved his fists, looking like a local snake.

style.

Ji Shu nodded hurriedly and thanked him. After all, he was new here and was not familiar with Jiangxia City. It would be great to have a local to introduce him.

"Little... young master?"

"Huh? Uncle Fu!"

"What a young master, I hope you are safe!"

Among the people coming and going at the pier, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler looked over. When he got closer, he first saluted Ji Shu and his party, and then said respectfully to Huang An.

"I heard that there were twists and turns on this trip, which made me very anxious."

"The carriages and horses are ready. Master, please come with me back home. Master is waiting at home."

"No, I will take my friends to visit Jiangxia City first and then go home later. You can go back and tell my father that you are safe first."

"Young Master, this..." Uncle Fu glanced at Ji Shu and the others secretly, feeling very puzzled, "It's not too good."

"What is this, what is that, what am I talking about!"

"I am the young master! Don't you listen to the young master?"

Huang An is usually approachable, and with the scene where he stepped forward to protect Qing Yu, everyone has already become friends. At this moment, seeing him acting like a young master, he deliberately put on a straight face, pretending to be angry and scolding, but they didn't realize it.

It was fresh outside, and I chuckled.

The housekeeper didn't want to refute his young master's reputation in front of everyone, and he was afraid of being blamed by the master when he returned, so he had to leave with a grimace and turned back three times.

"Haha, Brother Huang, you are not bad, you are loyal! He was so handsome just now."

Qingyu was the most strictly controlled at home, and she also liked to play against Wang Yun's wishes the most. Huang An's approach suited her best, and she immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"Huh! That's right." Huang An said proudly.

These two living treasures!

Everyone laughed for a while. Ji Shu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When we first met, I felt that Brother Huang was knowledgeable, sensible, and personable. He thought he was a member of a noble family. It turned out to be so when we met today. Qingshan and I are not afraid of anything. We are just servants like Brother Huang and me."

We call each other brothers and sisters, and are you not afraid of others gossiping?"

"I never treated you as servants!" He curled his lips in annoyance.

Huang An flicked his fan and gave Ji Shu a blank look.

"We are brothers and friends when we get along, so why bother with other people's gossip. Besides, didn't Han Emperor Gaozu also come from a gangster background? Ziyuan, how could you and Qingshan know that you and Qingshan wouldn't be able to prosper in the future, so why should you belittle yourselves? When the time comes, I still hope.

You two adults, please give me your support."

"Haha, yes, Brother Huang said it well!" Qingyu has long regarded Ji Shu as a younger brother, and Qingshan has been her guard for many years, like a brother and a friend. Seeing Huang An praising them so much, he was immediately happier than praising himself.

, quickly applauded and praised.

"Although that guy Qingshan is not as good as me, he is still second-rate. If he really joins the army, he will be able to serve as a general."

"As for Ziyuan, he obviously has wild ideas in his head and is unpredictable, but he always underestimates himself in strange ways."

I am not as outstanding as you think. In the face of life and death, I ran away. When I was in the capital, I was unable to change the predicament of the Situ Mansion.

Ji Shu's lips trembled slightly, and he stared at Qing Yu blankly for a long time, then suddenly smiled again.

Well, at least that changed a little bit.

Along the way, Huang An introduced Jiangxia snacks, pastries, customs and people to Ji Shu and others. They all chatted and reached the end of the country before they knew it.

"In front of us is Mr. Han Song's house. I'll take my leave now. If I have some free time, come to the Huang Mansion in the south of the city to find me. Huang An will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome me."

Huang An had been away from home for many days. Since he had seen someone off at the door, it was inconvenient to go in as a guest again. He cupped his hands and bowed, then went home.

Han Mansion, lobby.

Han Song was drinking tea when a family walked in.

"Master, there are a few people visiting from outside the house. They say they are old friends of the master, and they sent me a letter to show to the master." After saying this, the servant handed over a letter.

"Huh?" Han Song took the letter, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "What a distinguished guest. Please come in quickly."

The servant left in response, and Han Song hurriedly ordered other servants to prepare a banquet and clean the guest rooms.

Not long after, Qingyu came in with Ji Shu and others.

"Haha, but Qingyu?"

Han Song stood up and came over to greet him. He was both happy and surprised at the same time and asked.

"Hello, Uncle Han!"

Qingyu didn't forget the etiquette this time, she bowed first and said hello shyly.

"Oh, how many years have we not seen!"

"You, this little naughty girl, have turned out to be such a beauty! Uncle Han almost doesn't dare to admit it. I think all the young men in the capital are fascinated by you, and those who want to marry you are almost crossing the threshold of your house, right?"

"

"Your father's letter said that you are a lot more naughty than when you were a child. It seems that is not true. Isn't this quite polite? You are well-behaved. Old Wang Yun bullied me again."

Han Song was so happy to see his friend's daughter again after so many years, as if he were seeing his daughter who hadn't been home for a long time. He was so excited that he danced for joy.

Qingyu suddenly blushed and whispered in a low voice.

"Not really. I usually go out disguised as a man. Dad is busy with government affairs, so he doesn't care about those things. The few people who propose marriage have never even seen my face. They all come here for the Situ Mansion, so...

They were all driven away by me."

"Haha~~ you!"

Han Song laughed heartily and became happier as he talked. He asked everyone to sit down one by one and asked about things in the capital.

After leaving the capital, he no longer felt taboo about talking softly, so he roughly talked about some of the things that happened in the capital from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Dong Zhuo's chaos.

Han Song inadvertently wrinkled his eyebrows, looked solemn, and sighed repeatedly.

"It's not easy for your father. This is more serious than I know. It's really difficult for him to support the situation in the capital. Originally, business travelers and refugees also heard news that Dong Zhuo was domineering and wielding power. But he didn't want the situation to deteriorate like this.

How dare the old thief Dong Zhuo bully the emperor like this."

"Although your father hopes that I will find an opportunity to persuade Liu Jingzhou to send troops to serve the king, he doesn't know that Liu Jingzhou has long valued culture over military affairs. Although Jingzhou is rich, its military equipment is lax and it relies on the geographical advantages to maintain success. If he sends troops to go on an expedition, I am afraid that he will lose more than he will win.

few."

"Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, various places have recruited their own troops. Nowadays, it has become a situation where the feudal lords are divided. It is not known how many people still have the imperial court in their hearts. It is really difficult to start. Who dares to use the sword lightly? Let alone Liu Jingzhou

I am cautious by nature and do not have the courage to take on such an important responsibility."

"That's not necessarily the case. The opportunity may come soon." Ji Shu suddenly interrupted.

Han Song was secretly surprised, and was sure that this was the young man recommended by Wang Yun. He asked calmly: "How do you say this?"

Ji Shu saluted and continued: "Have Master Han ever heard of Cao Cao?"

"I've heard a little bit. Although this man has made many achievements before, he doesn't have much reputation yet. However, his assassination of Dong Zhuo shocked the world. Who doesn't know about it now?" Han Song nodded lightly, wiping his beard.

Ji Shu continued: "Cao Cao seems to be a heroic man, but he actually has a powerful city. He pretended to serve Dong Zhuo and acted as an assassin. Although he failed, how could he give up? Moreover, Dong Zhuo would not let him go."

"Now that he has gained fame, when he fled to the local area and found the support of some aristocratic families, and with money and soldiers, he immediately became a new prince. Although he could not compete with Dong Zhuo, he came out of the capital

Yes! He is the one who can contact the emperor! He is the one who assassinated Dong Zhuo! This is his greatest asset."

"My lord, it won't be long before the whole world will be moved because of him. At that time, my lord, I would like to ask you to persuade Liu Jingzhou to send troops."

"So what if Cao Cao came from the capital? Sir, please speak more clearly." Han Song was still waiting to continue asking questions.

"Sir, Liu Jingzhou ordered your Excellency to go to Xiangyang to discuss matters." The old housekeeper suddenly walked in and reported.

Han Song was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? Has anyone else been summoned in Jiangxia?"
