Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 90
Seeing Sun Ce glaring at Yu Fan, the latter did not mean to be embarrassed, but stared back rudely, Bai Tu quickly said: "Okay, okay, we are all our own people... Zhongxiang, I believe that Bo Fu is sincere. Gentleman, just like I believe in you." Bai Tu said in a sincere tone.

Sun Ce was very moved when he heard this, but Yu Fan didn't appreciate it: "Could it be that Bai Gong's achievements are based on 'belief'? Now, seven out of ten Sun Zhou people will not return eastward, so Bai Gong will bet on this unwarranted ten Two or three?”

Just like the previous "self-study" trust, not everyone agrees with Bai Tu, such as Yu Fan... When he wants to recognize his master, he values ​​ability more than so-called kindness.

Yu Fan's logic is very simple. Whether he can revive the Yu family depends on his ability. As long as he is capable, the lord will naturally value him and will not be moved by "favor"!

These two behaviors of Bai Tu were negative points in his opinion.

He couldn't bear to see Bai Tujiang Jiangdong's future, gambling on human nature and odds, all based on his own will, which was not what the hero did.

"Zhongxiang, you...don't have any prejudice against Bo Fu because of the Overlord's Relic Armor, right?" Bai Tu said suddenly.

In the early Han Dynasty, in order to appease the Chu State, Liu Bang did not pursue too much questions about the Chu State survivors who had supported Xiang Yu in the past. Even now, 400 years later, Jiangdong seems out of place relative to the Central Plains. He even "predicted" future generations, even more than 1000 years later. The dynasty also needs to look at "Jiangnan" differently.

However, as the wife of Xiang Yu, the Yu family still suffered a big blow. From the fourth surname in Jiangdong at the end of Qin Dynasty, it became a prominent family in Kuaiji County now.

"No! Mr. Bai, be careful! It's not him who I can't stand..." Yu Fan glared at Bai Tu angrily.

Yu Fan was not lying. The main thing he disliked was Bai Tu's impulsiveness. However... the "impulsiveness" was classified as the decisive flaw of the master. Yu Fan couldn't tell whether it was because of the historical legacy of the Yu family. Anyway, The education he received since childhood was to regard a certain bully as a negative example.

"Don't be angry, Gong Jin is also a good boy... Ahem, I'll introduce you later." Bai Tu guessed that if he didn't dislike Sun Ce, then he must dislike Zhou Yu!

Zhou Yu: ...

Zhou Yu initially suspected that Yu Fan was hired by Bai Tu to play the bad guy, but now that the two of them had such a real quarrel, his suspicions were dispelled.

"Bo Fu, you don't have to worry about anything, just go ahead and do it. I'll wait for you to bring your family and generals back safely," Bai Tu said.

Sun Ce didn't speak for a long time. Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced doubtfully, only to find Sun Ce with tears in his eyes. He couldn't help but secretly thought that although Zhou Yu didn't waste his money on Gu Enyi, he didn't want Sun Ce to sell him out.

At this time, Sun Ce took off his red scarf and said, "Mr. Bai, this thing is sent to Mr. Bai first. Ce will return within half a year!"

Yu Fan stood aside and said unhappily: "It's just a headscarf, what's the restriction? Why don't you temporarily detain your wife and children?"

"Ce is not married yet..." Sun Ce gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Fan.

"Huh, I don't think you're leaving your sworn brothers behind!" Yu Fan said and looked at Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce was really hesitant when he heard this. After all, it was safe for Zhou Yu to stay in Jiangdong. He never thought that he would break the contract.

But at this time Bai Tu quickly said: "No, there are many cunning people under Yuan Shu's account, Bo Fu is alone... Well, I still need Gong Jin to follow."

Bai Tu was worried that if Zhou Yu didn't go, Sun Ce wouldn't be able to come back even if he wanted to!
During this period, Yu Fan and Sun Ce kept glaring at each other, looking down on each other.

This is the same as the "first encounter" between the two in history - Yu Fan was originally Wang Lang's subordinate, and initially helped Wang Lang to resist Sun Ce's invasion of Kuaiji County and persuaded Wang Lang to retreat in time.

However, after Yu Fan returned home, Sun Ce personally came to invite him to become an official, and finally moved Yu Fan.

Before Sun Ce was assassinated, Yu Fan kept reminding him not to wear the white dragon fish suit and told him that Jiangdong was not safe. Unfortunately, Sun Ce did not listen to his persuasion and was eventually killed by Xu Gong's disciples.

It's just that in this world, Bai Tu is very curious about how Xu Gong's disciples killed Sun Ce who possessed the overlord's armor and was also a gold and jade armor!
In the end, Bai Tu took Sun Ce's turban properly, and after sending the two of them out of the Zhou Mu Mansion, he took an angry Yu Fan to Cheng Ji Mansion - Yu Fan was also confused as to why he wanted to meet people in Cheng Ji Mansion. ?

At the same time, not long after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left, Lu Kang and Lu Su also came to visit one after another. Bai Tu also invited them yesterday, but the time was staggered with Yu Fan.

Lu Kang is now the bridge between Bai Tu and the powerful Jiangdong family, while Lu Su is Bai Tu's confidant.

Because of Lu Xun, Lu Kang and Lu Su were friends for many years. Taishi Ci introduced the two of them into the central hall and apologized for Bai Tu, saying that it was time for another cup of tea.

"General Taishi, I see the Yu family's carriage outside. Is the lord meeting Yu Fan?" Lu Kang asked doubtfully.

Taishi Ci hesitated for a moment and then decided that there was nothing to keep secret about this matter, so he nodded in agreement.

Lu Kang was a little confused - why was Yu Fan not in the middle hall but in the backyard?When did the lord and Yu Fan become so familiar?
"Zijing, Xiaoxun is with you. Is he not causing any trouble?" Lu Kang turned to Lu Su and asked.

"Lu Lang is smart and studious. Now he can help me handle some simple secretarial matters." Lu Su said.

Although he has not been formally appointed, Lu Su already knows that Baitu is going to hand over the Ministry of Civil Affairs to him, and recently asked him to count Jiangdong's prices, "production capacity" in various places, and...the status of the rich families in each county.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Lu Kang asked worriedly: "Zhong Xiang has an upright temperament, will he offend the lord?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I think... the lord and Yu Fan will hit it off very well!" Lu Su said.

Lu Su already knows about Yu Ji's matter, and he is the one who helped Bai Tu analyze it. With Yu Ji here, he can contact Yu Fan directly. Now the Yu family has no other choice.

Originally, Bai Tu was a little worried. Although Yu Ji was senior enough, but...after all, the Yu family failed to invest in Xiang Yu. Bai Tu was a little unsure about how much influence this ancestral aunt could have on the Yu family.

However, Lu Su's words made him give up his hesitation - Yu Ji was on Bai Tu's side, so the Yu family had no other choice.

Now that Yu Ji's identity cannot be exposed, it does not mean that it will never be seen in the future. In other words... Even if the Yu family wants to bet on others, as long as Yu Ji's affairs are exposed, they will not be able to win the trust of others.

And to a certain extent, Yu Ji is still regarded as the clan concubine of the Yu family. Yu Ji is in the Bai Tu camp. Measured by Yu Fan's inner standards, that side is a decisive bonus - if Bai Tu can develop, then Yu Fan will The surname can return to the four surnames of Jiangdong, which is something that no other princes can guarantee.

In this case, even if Bai Tu has many shortcomings in Yu Fan's opinion, he can only try his best to assist Bai Tu to make up for his shortcomings instead of betraying Bai Tu.

Just when Lu Kang showed that he didn't quite agree with Lu Su's words, he saw Bai Tu and Yu Fan coming in from the back hall.

Bai Tu apologized first, but after a moment's delay, he pointed to the seat next to Lu Kang to Yu Fan. Under Lu Kang's surprised gaze, Yu Fan's expression was even more bitter, as if he was an angry little daughter-in-law. He firmly followed Bai Tu's instructions and sat down.

"Mr. Lu, I have tested Zhongxiang's knowledge. How about letting him be the chief historian of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Bai Tu said.

Lu Kang:? ? ?
