One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
"So you are Shengji's subordinate."

Hearing Qin Yi's self-introduction of his family name, Xu Rong nodded knowingly, and then asked Qin Yi: "Sheng Ji sent you here, why are you looking for a certain family?"

Qin Yi gave another salute, and said: "My family's prefect went to Liaodong. After settling down, I was grateful for General Xu's kindness in your recommendation. I specially ordered Qin to bring a heavy gift to Luoyang to pay respects to the general. There is nothing else to do."

"Hahaha, Shengji is too far-fetched. I am from the same town as him. We have been friends since we were young, like brothers and sisters. The matter of recommendation, Xu can easily do it!"

Xu Rong seemed very happy, and said a few words with a smile on his face, then suddenly frowned, and asked Qin Yi with a cold face: "A certain family heard that you lost the gift that Sheng Ji gave to a certain one?"

There was a faint murderous look in Xu Rong's eyes, and Qin Yi's heart trembled wildly: the meat scene is coming, if you can fool Xu Rong, it depends on the next performance.

With a "plop", Qin Yi fell to his knees and howled loudly: "Qin Yu is a death penalty, a death penalty... I am ashamed of my lord and General Xu—"

This came out so suddenly, not only Xu Rong was unprepared, but his body shook involuntarily, and the guards in the tent were also shuddered by Qin Yi.

"Qin Duyou, don't get excited, just explain what's going on, man, why are you crying?" Xu Rong looked at Qin Yi who was crying, and couldn't help being a little moved, so he calmed down and tried to persuade him.

While howling dryly, Qin Yi covered his face with the big sleeve of his left hand, hid his right hand behind the sleeve, secretly dipped his fingers in saliva, and kept wiping under his eyelids.

Before entering the camp, his face had already been wiped with a lot of dust by himself, and now he wiped it with saliva, making his face even more difficult to look at.

"General, it's all because of Qin Yu's incompetence in handling affairs. He lost the gift that my lord prepared for you... Qin Yu's death penalty, death penalty..."

Qin Yi babbled while crying, and it took him a long time to recount what he said to Ruan Fang when he was at Yuanmen.

"Well, the world is not peaceful. Although Qin Duyou lost his gift, he still did not forget his mission and went through all kinds of hardships to find Xu. This kind of loyalty makes Xu admire..."

As he spoke, Xu Rong stood up, walked out from behind the handsome case, walked to Qin Yi in a few steps, stretched out his hands to help Qin Yi, and said: "Qin Supervisor, please get up quickly, Xu knows Shengji's heart, as for the gift, it is something outside of the body, if you lose it, just throw it away."

"Thank you General Xu for your understanding, Qin is really ashamed... Sigh!"

Although he didn't howl like before, Qin Yi still kept wiping away his tears, and his two eyes were red like rabbits. He didn't know whether he really got involved in the scene, so that his eyes turned red from crying, or was he caught He rubbed the red with his fingers.

"Come, come, Qin Duyou, please sit down!"

Xu Rong supported Qin Yi and led him to a short table next to Shuai's case.

Being supported by Xu Rong, Qin Yi felt a little more relaxed.Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, it seems that my acting skills are not bad.This Xu Rong is also an upright person, he even supported me himself, should I lie down on the ground and roll around, blackmailing him?

Unreliable thoughts just flashed through Qin Yi's mind.He kneels on the cushion and sits upright.In my heart, I was even more energetic in order to continue to deal with Xu Rong.

Xu Rong walked back to the back of Shuai's case and sat down again.

"Qin Duyou, does Shengji have a letter for someone?" Xu Rong asked.

Qin Yi still seemed to be trapped in guilt, his voice choked up and said: "Originally there was a letter, but once Qin was pursued by a bandit, he jumped into a river in desperation to escape, and when the river washed him away, the letter also disappeared. lost."

"Oh, it's hard for Governor Qin." Xu Rong sighed, "How is Shengji doing recently?"

Qin Yi didn't think that Xu Rong was chatting with him, maybe he was testing him.

Pretending to continue wiping his tears as a cover-up, Qin Yi's mind raced, and he quickly thought of a response. He forced a smile and said: "I'm concerned about General Xu, my lord is in good health, but he has just taken office and has a lot of government affairs. Xu, but never idle for a moment."

"How long has Qin Duyou been an official?" Xu Rong suddenly asked about Qin Yi's situation.

Qin Yi was prepared for this question, and answered calmly: "Qin is also new to the officialdom. Because the Liaodong area is close to the border, the situation is extremely complicated, and the people's affairs and government affairs are also chaotic. After the prefect Gongsun took office, he posted a recruitment list to recruit talents Naxian, Qin is not talented, so he was recruited to meet Gongsun Taishou, and after talking with the prefect, he was hired by the prefect as the postal supervisor."

"Oh, in this way, Qin Duyou must be a great talent. Shengji can get the help of Duyou. My old friend is also very happy for him!"

Qin Yi waved his hand lightly, pretending to be modest and said: "Qin has no talent, he just got into the eyes of the prefect by luck."

"The superintendent is too modest, and Shengji's discerning eyes know it." Xu Rong said casually, and then asked inadvertently: "How is the old lady in Shengji's family? Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a few years." I saw my aunt, but I miss her very much."

"Oh, old madam..." Qin Yi was about to say that old madam is fine, when he suddenly noticed that Xu Rong looked at him with sharper eyes than before. He became alert and immediately changed his words: "I'm ashamed to say, Qin A certain has never seen the old lady, nor heard the eunuch mention it, so I really don't know the old lady's current situation."

Hearing the words, Xu Rong nodded slightly, and suddenly put his hand on his forehead as if he was enlightened: "Look at my memory, Shengji's mother passed away last year, and I still miss her... Alas, we are separated by heaven and earth, and we will never see each other again. It’s my aunt’s turn!”

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat: This guy is really trying to test me, luckily I have reacted!
"So that's the case, no wonder I never heard the old lady mentioned by the prefect." Qin Yi also acted suddenly enlightened, and then comforted Xu Rong: "General Xu, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, so you don't have to be too sentimental!"

Xu Rong nodded, turned to a normal expression, and said: "It's hard for Qin Duyou to come far away. Xu is about to fight with Sun Jian at this moment. He is busy with military affairs, but he can't bother to talk to Duyou for a long time..."

Before Xu Rong finished speaking, Qin Yi immediately bowed his hands to him and said, "I dare not trouble the general for a long time. Qin has already brought the Lord's heart, so I will return to Liaodong."

While talking, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong also stood up, raised his hand and said: "Qin Duyou misunderstood, Xu is not in a hurry to drive you away. You must be very tired after you have come all the way, why don't you work temporarily in Xu's camp first?" Rest. Tomorrow, Xu will repair a letter to Shengji, and then send a team of soldiers to escort the post back."

"Respect is worse than obedience, Qin has disturbed me!"

Qin Yi bowed his hands to Xu Rong again, and he readily obeyed.

Until now, he breathed a sigh of relief.Finally got over it, and when it was dark and late at night, it was time for my brother to act.

Xu Rong immediately ordered one of his guards to take Qin Yi down to rest.

Qin Yi followed the guard out of the Chinese army tent.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a man dressed as an officer about to enter the tent.The guard who led the way cupped his fists and saluted the man, calling him "Hua Dudu".

The Hua Dudu slightly nodded, and looked at Qin Yi in surprise.

With a smile on his face, Qin Yi bowed his hands to the governor of Chaohua, and the two passed by.

Governor of Hua?It can't be Hua Xiong, right?Isn't he under Hu Zhen's command? Why did he run into Xu Rong's barracks?
Oh, if this person is really Hua Xiong, it must be because Li Meng was shot to death by me, and Xu Rong lacked his deputy, so Dong Zhuo sent Hua Xiong here.

Qin Yi was thinking about something in his heart, and kept walking, following the guard.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the governor of Huadu asked Xu Rong: "Guardian, that person just now is..."

"He claimed to be a subordinate of Gongsun Shengji, and he came to thank me for recommending me on behalf of Gongsun Shengji." Xu Rong replied lightly, "However, this person's words are flashy and he seems to be hiding something, but I can't fully believe his words. .”

"Does the Imperial Guard suspect that he is a spy sent by Sun Jian?"

Xu Rong shook his head: "They say they are spies, but they don't look like them. Our army has already arrived here, and all falsehoods have been exposed during the military deployment. Sun Jian has nothing to spy on."

"Then the guardian means..."

Xu Rong pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled strangely at Governor Hua: "Zhongjie, how about you deceive him later?"

Dudu Hua was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "I know what to do."
