Chapter 40 Xi Zhicai: Xun Yu, I'll go take a look for you [Seeking follow-up reading]

The county seat of Yingchuan County was Yingyin County.

Xun family.

Xun Yu was discussing the contents of Jin Mao's second letter with Xun You.

"The turning cart should be a waterwheel, right?"

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "Bi Lan made a waterwheel. Although he is cruel, he is also ingenious."

Bi Lan was one of the Ten Attendants of Emperor Ling of Han.

Xun Yu’s wife was the daughter of a eunuch, so she treated eunuchs fairly.

"If Bi Lan has any ingenuity, then this little county magistrate is better than him."

Xun You said with longing: "A waterwheel that can be driven by a child, I really want to see it for myself."

"Gongda is right." Xun Yu did not refute: "And this method of pressing vegetable oil, and these rice seeds, how can we harvest two crops?"

"Then shouldn't there be twice as much food?"

"Incredible."

Xun You smiled and said, "Uncle, have you ever thought about meeting this person?"

"Gongda laughed." Xun Yu chuckled: "Yingyin is thousands of miles away from Wushang, why is it so inconvenient?"

Xun You smiled and nodded. His uncle had a wide range of friends, and it would be a lie if he said he didn't want to meet such a strange man.

But the distance is really far, one thousand kilometers, and it is inconvenient to travel.

Why don’t you ask why Xun Yu didn’t join Jinmao?
Don't joke, any family from Yingchuan County can crush a small Karami like Jinmao, not to mention the Xun family, a prominent family in Yingchuan.

Being interested is one thing, but they cannot be confused.

At this time, the servant reported that there was another letter from Wu Shang.

Xun Yu did not hide anything and read it out in front of Xun You.

The two were silenced on the spot.

Because in the third letter, Jin Mao gave a brief account of what happened, omitted important details, and also talked about the current predicament, and asked Xun Yu for some tactical guidance.

But who are Xun Yu and Xun You? Look through the appearance to the essence, and you will see the truth at a glance.

The Jiao family has been raided, and there is still tactical guidance?

Is this aimed at genocide?
Isn’t this guy too fierce?

For the first time, Xun Yu realized that Jin Mao was not only a versatile man, but also a fierce bandit.

To be precise, they should be called official bandits.

In front of the bandits, he is an official; in front of the officials, he is a bandit. His identity is very flexible.

Xun You had a different opinion.

Originally, Xun You thought that Jin Mao's method of training troops was just for show, but now it seems that is not the case.

Although I don't know how strong the Jiao family's private soldiers are, comparing with their own family, they are not weak either. The main reason is that all the private soldiers of the aristocratic families are death warriors who can fight to the last man.

Even so, Jinmao was able to be annihilated, which shows that this method of training is really effective.

The fact that Jin Mao was able to give such a precious military training method to Xun Yu shows how important Xun Yu is in his heart.

However, Xun You thought that his talent was not even half of Xun Yu's, and that what he could see through, Xun Yu could naturally see through as well.

So I didn't say anything more.

No one knows what Xun Yu is thinking.

Anyway, Xun You decided that if he had the chance, he would definitely see what this person looked like.

Just based on Jinmao's sincerity, it is worth it.

"Wen Ruo! Wen Ruo!"

At this moment, a drunk man stumbled in, his loose clothes dragging on the ground, exposing his chest and back.

"Hey, Gongda is here too." The drunk man burped and greeted him staggeringly.

I don't know how Xun Yu moved, but he quickly pulled away and said calmly: "Zhicai, you are drunk again."

"I'm not drunk." Xi Zhicai stretched out his hand and said, "Wen Ruo can lend me a gold coin. My family can't afford to eat."

Xun Yu rummaged around and found dozens of five-zhu coins, all of which he gave to Xi Zhicai.

"That's all I have, Zhicai, spend it sparingly."

Xi Zhicai shook his shoulders, tied his trousers, and his clothes were on. He put his hands into his arms and the money fell into his pocket.

Everything was done so skillfully that it didn't look like it was the first time.

"Gongda?" Xi Zhicai extended his hand to Xun You again.

The latter turned up his cuffs to show that he had no money.

Xi Zhicai smiled and pointed at Xun You, then pointed at the bamboo slips on the ground in surprise and asked, "Are you guys debating about scriptures?"

"Can I join in, too?"

Xun You had a blank expression, as if he was a wooden man who didn't exist. He was a socially anxious person.

Xun Yu waved his hand and explained: "It's not a debate about scriptures, but a debate about people." Without waiting for Xi Zhicai to speak, Xun Yu picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and handed them over.

What this means is that Xi Zhicai can look at it freely, there is nothing to hide.

"Thank you, Wenruo." Xi Zhicai took the bamboo stick with a smile and bowed crookedly.

Xun Yu shook his head and laughed. The two had been friends for many years and knew each other's temper well. Xun Yu did not blame Xi Zhicai for being rude.

Xi Zhicai was very curious, but there were not many people that Xun Yu could discuss with.

As a result, the more he looked, the more confused he became: "Wen Ruo, this person does have some talent, but..."

But even Xi Zhicai thought he was better than Jin Mao, and Xun Yu was paying too much attention to him.

"No." Xun Yu explained: "This boy is a scoundrel, obsessed with me."

"Oh?" Xi Zhicai found it very interesting, his curiosity burning in his heart.

"Could it be that this person has a crush on you, Xun Wenruo?"

Xi Zhicai couldn't help laughing so hard that even the wooden-faced Xun You almost broke down.

It’s really because Xun Yu is so handsome that women blush when they see him, and some men also blush when they see him.

Moreover, Xun Yu particularly likes to wear flowery clothes and smell perfume. He wears clothes with bright colors and sprays powder with the scent of the flower.

"Don't joke." Xun Yu knew Xi Zhicai very well, "I have never met this guy before."

This is quite interesting. Xi Zhicai realized that Xun Yu was a man of great talent. However, his fame could not spread to Wushang County. That would be much more impressive than being famous throughout the country.

"This child?" Xi Zhicai discovered the key point: "Is this child still young?"

Xun Yu nodded: "I came of age last year."

Holy shit! That's awesome!
Xi Zhicai finally became interested and read the letter carefully again.

"The means are immature and the heart is cruel."

"I would like to know how this boy conquered Shanyue and made him work for him."

Xi Zhicai glanced at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, don't you want to meet this person?"

Xun Yu remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

Xi Zhicai finally understood: "I just happened to have some free time, so I'll go check on this boy on behalf of Wenruo?"

"Oh, what a pity. I don't have enough money for the journey. The mountains are high and the roads are long. How can I get there?"

Xun Yu could no longer hold back: "My wife's family has a caravan traveling back and forth to Kuaiji County."

"Haha!" Xi Zhicai frivolously hugged Xun You and said, "Gongda, tell me, does Wen Ruo like that boy?"

"I was just teasing him, he really wants to go and see it?"

Xun You rarely spoke: "If I have the chance, I would also like to go and have a look."

Xi Zhicai felt as if he had been electrocuted. He lay on his back and pointed at Erxun: "Are you two crazy?!"

"That's a land of barbarians where the Baiyue people run rampant!"

How dangerous?

Xun Yu then repeated the contents of the two previous letters, and Xi Zhicai was stunned: "This kid also knows how to farm?"

"I want to go to Wushang, not necessarily to see this boy." Xun Yu finally told the truth: "I want to go and see if what this boy said is true."

"The world is not peaceful, and the people are not living in poverty."

Xun Yu's face was full of longing: "If this boy really has such talent, he can save people from danger."

Unlike other aristocratic families, the Xun family passed down their traditions through farming and studying. They did not practice land annexation and were more friendly towards the lower-class people.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to be joking, Xi Zhicai sat cross-legged and thought seriously.

At this time, Xun Yu advised: "Zhicai, I want to go and see it with my own eyes, but not now."

"This matter needs to be considered over a long period of time, and there is no rush."

Xun Yu didn't want to make his good friend run around because of his affairs, but at the same time, he didn't want to hurt his friend's self-esteem, so he could only explain it very tactfully.

"Wen Ruo looks down on me!"

Xi Zhicai could hear it, and stood up suddenly: "Thank you for your care, this time, I will go and see it for you with my own eyes!"

The next sentence immediately returns to square one.

"During this period of time, I'll ask Wen Ruo to take care of my household affairs."

"Oh, by the way, where's the money?"

"You can't let me go to someone else's place to eat and drink for free, right?"
