Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

At this time, Wang Can probably heard the movement, turned around and saw Li Yi's carriage, and hurriedly stood aside and bowed to avoid it, looking very polite.

When the carriage reached Wang Can's side, Li Yi thought for a while, waved his hand, and motioned for the carriage to stop, then jumped out of the carriage and walked slowly to Wang Can. Comparing Li Yi and the people accompanying him, he confirmed that it should be Li Yi himself, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Wang Can has seen the Marquis Xiang."

"No need to be polite."

Li Yixu gave a helping hand, looked at Wang Can again, and unexpectedly found that although Wang Can was well-dressed, it was only decent, but not luxurious, and even a little flimsy. In Li Yi's opinion, the clothes were a bit inappropriate. Shang Wang's family background.

Moreover, Wang Can's complexion looked a little yellow, his cheeks were thin, and his chin was a little pointed. Even though Li Yi had no medical knowledge, it could be seen that Wang Can's body was relatively weak.

On the whole, Wang Can is the least like one of the children of the family that Li Yi has ever seen.

Li Yi frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back, Wang Can looked at Li Yi in astonishment, wondering in his heart, secretly thought that even if you judge a person by appearance, you can't just take a look and leave, right?

Fortunately, Li Yi turned back quickly, and he had an extra fox fur cloak in his hand. Before Wang Can regained his senses, he put it on Wang Can's back, tightened it tightly for him, and said softly: "It's cold, why does Zhongxuan have so little clothes?"

This big cloak Li Yi was wrapping up to keep warm before. At this time, the residual warmth was still there, and it was wrapped around Wang Can. Wang Can suddenly felt warm in his heart. However, Wang Can was quite calm, and he did not lose his composure. He bowed again and said: " Thank you, Marquis Xiang, for your concern, Can is very grateful."

After a slight pause, Wang Can continued: "Can came here from Chang'an. Because Chang'an was in chaos, many belongings at home were lost, so it was inevitable that we would be in short supply for a while. Fortunately, after arriving in Nanyang, Cai Zhonglang took care of him."

Li Yi couldn't help squinting his eyes. Wang Can's words were more straightforward. In fact, he was robbed. Is Chang'an in such a mess now?

Thinking about the matter of Chang'an in his heart, Li Yi sighed on the surface: "I was negligent, come on, first follow me in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up your body."

"Here!"

Immediately, Li Yi took Wang Can into the prefect's mansion, and asked about Wang Can's situation on the way. Only then did he know that Wang Can came to Nanyang, half of which was at the invitation of Cai Yong, and the other half was to take refuge, because the current Chang'an city has already It was too chaotic, even with an identity like Wang Can's, he didn't have the confidence to protect himself, so he wanted to leave, but he just came to Nanyang after receiving Cai Yong's invitation.

And coincidentally, when Wang Can left the city, the guards at the city gate wanted to rob him of what little he had left. In the end, Wang Can said that he had come to Nanyang to find Li Yi, so he escaped because the guards were under Lu Bu's command. General Hou Cheng knew that Lu Bu and Li Yi had a good relationship, so he was selling Li Yi's face.

Soon, the two entered the study room. Li Yi asked someone to bring hot soup to Wang Can. After he drank it and his face became a little rosy, he spoke again and asked with a smile, "Zhongxuan has been in Nanyang for some time. How does Nanyang feel?"

Hearing this, Wang Can hurriedly put down the small bowl, leaned forward and replied, "Chang'an was originally a prosperous place, but unfortunately, no matter the people's aristocratic families, they are all in panic all day long, and although Nanyang is dilapidated after the war, the faces of the people are often seen. It can be said that it is thriving, and this is a testament to the merits of Xianghou's governance!"

"Ha ha"

Li Yi couldn't hold back, laughed, then shook his head and said: "I've said it, as an official of one side, protecting the people of one place is a matter of duty, I'm lucky to be able to do nothing wrong, but I dare not say credit. "

While talking, the smile on Li Yi's face hadn't completely subsided. In fact, he had heard Wang Can say that Li Yi used people improperly, but after the meeting, he was respectful and polite before entering the door, and even flattered him directly after entering the door. The difference between people before and after is really too big.

Because of the laughter at the beginning, although Li Yi expressed his modesty in a timely manner, it still revealed some "excessive" emotions. Wang Can is an extremely intelligent person, so he naturally noticed it, and he couldn't help but show a bit of bitterness in his eyes.

When Wang Can came to Nanyang, although he had the idea of ​​seeking an errand in Nanyang, it would not be said that Li Yi just came back, and he came to block the door. What he did now was actually a helpless move.

Wang Can is young and talented, so he is naturally a bit arrogant, but he also knows that he needs to be tactful in dealing with people, so this arrogance is usually buried in his heart, but after drinking, he tends to speak freely. Be careful and say some aggressive words.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but after waking up, Wang Can knew the bad food. I'm afraid my words would offend many people, and before he could think of a remedy, he was called by Cai Yong who knew about it. Go, after a few reminders, today's initiative to come to the door.

Chapter 350 Willing to take on this important task

Before meeting Li Yi, or even when they just met at the door, Wang Can was more or less lucky, hoping that Li Yi didn't know what he said the day before yesterday, but after hearing Li Yi's laughter, he could only Sighing that drinking was a mistake.

In fact, with Wang Can's family background, even though it is not as good as before, it is really easy for him to become an official.

Some time ago, the imperial court had conscripted Wang Can to be an official in the imperial court, but Wang Can's eyes were not blind, and now even the emperor was living a precarious life, so he would not take the initiative to jump into the fire pit.

As for defecting to other princes, it is also very easy. Whether it is Er Yuan who is in the limelight, or Liu Biao and Liu Yan who are as steady as an old dog, they will definitely accept him.

But Wang Can himself has concerns, because he knows his own shortcomings, that is, his appearance is a little bit worse. Although he is not sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, he is definitely not personable. Accepted, most of them are just looking to help the Wang family's face, rather than really paying attention to his talent and learning.

Therefore, Wang Can has always been entangled in what to do in the future, until he received a letter from Cai Yong, inviting him to work under Li Yi's command.

Wang Can didn't care much about Li Yi's status as the prefect of Nanyang. With his background, he could find a similar position and stay there for a few years. Find a not-so-popular prefect Dangdang.

The reason why Wang Can came to Nanyang, in the final analysis, was because of Li Yi himself.

Compared to Li Yi's unfamiliarity with Wang Can, Wang Can knew Li Yi quite well, and even met Li Yi several times in the early days, but Li Yi was Dong Zhuo's new favorite at that time, so it was all right. One of the dog legs, Wang Can doesn't even bother to associate with Li Yi.

But when Li Yi suddenly turned against the water and killed Dong Zhuo, countless people almost dropped their jaws in shock. The court officials and Dong Zhuo's old department were either because Li Yi was too popular, or because he cut off his own future. Some people admire Li Yi quite a lot.

Wang Can was one of them. Li Yi's methods made him admire. At that time, he intended to make friends with Li Yi. However, Dong Zhuo had just died, Chang'an was in chaos, and then the chaos subsided, but Li Yi retired and left Nanyang directly. , which prevented Wang Can from finding a chance to contact Li Yi at all.

Therefore, when he received Cai Yong's letter inviting him to Nanyang, Wang Can's first reaction was joy, and then he couldn't wait to see what Cai Yong had in his heart.

It turned out that when Cai Yong invited Wang Can, he was afraid that he would look down on Li Yi and would not come, so he attached a section of Li Yi's virgin work "Luo Shen Fu" and the opening chapter of "The Method of Yi Numbering" to the letter. 1.

Articles and arithmetic are all Wang Can's expertise, and naturally they are also his favorites. When he saw Li Yi's masterpiece, he repeatedly called him a fellow-path, and once again regretted not being able to seize the opportunity in Chang'an. After the method of counting, Wang Can was not calm at all, and directly regarded Li Yi as a heavenly man!

Therefore, although his body was a little weak, Wang Can hurried all the way to Nanyang in order to meet Li Yi as soon as possible.

At that time, Li Yi was still in Yangzhou. Although Wang Can regretted not seeing Li Yi, he was not idle. He seized the time to learn a lot about the situation in Nanyang, and then Wang Can decisively set his sights on Guo Jia's position as the director.

It's not that Wang Can is greedy for an official position, or despises Guo Jia's background. He really thinks that he is more suitable for the job of the master book than Guo Jia, and if he becomes the master book, he can always contact Li Yi. Then discuss the article and ask Yi Shu The law is a matter of course.

It's just that things didn't go as planned, Wang Can felt that Li Yi might have a bad initial impression of him because he was greedy for drinking and uttered those words after drinking, which made Wang Can very annoyed.

Of course, what Wang Can doesn't know is that although Li Yi has complicated views on him now, he has no malicious intentions, but if Li Yi knows that he actually wants to discuss literature, he will definitely keep a distance from him. After all, let Li Yi discuss literature with others. People can collapse in minutes.

Wang Can glanced at Li Yi and found that he was still smiling and looked very kind, but Wang Can knew that this was actually a sign that he was difficult to get close to.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Can suddenly got up and left the table, bowed deeply to Li Yi, and said, "Can is guilty. Can talked nonsense after drinking a few days ago, which insulted the eyes and ears of Xianghou. Please punish him!"

Li Yi was a little caught off guard by Wang Can's sudden blunt and excessive attitude, with a look of surprise on his face, he stood up and supported Wang Can's arm after a while, and said eagerly: "What is Zhongxuan's crime, hurry up!" Please get up."

Ever since they met, Wang Can didn't feel like a son of a family to Li Yi, and now he made such a resolute and decisive apology, even more so.

However, Wang Can refused to get up. He didn't know if Li Yi was a generous person, but since he wanted to stay in Nanyang, and since he wanted to apologize, he had to let Li Yi completely dispel his grievances. If Li Yi said he was fine, he would really be fine, that would be too stupid.

Wang Can bowed again, and said sincerely again: "Young Master Can doesn't do anything, lost his temper after drinking, and even lightly talked about Mr. Guo's right and wrong, and even presumptuously speculated on how the Marquis of Xiang employs people. How can you be innocent of such nonsense?"

Li Yi looked at Wang Can, feeling speechless.

At this time, although the law cannot be said to be completely free for the people's speech, it is not too strict. What Wang Can said that day can only be said to make people feel unhappy, and there is no guilt at all. If Li Yi really wants to do this Just knowing what to do to Wang Can will definitely attract criticism from the world.

Therefore, Wang Can took the initiative to come to the door to apologize, and it is said that this matter can be passed in terms of face, and after Li Yi saw Wang Can with his own eyes, he found that Wang Can did not seem to be aggressive at all, and the negative thoughts in his heart disappeared. A lot, but I didn't want to think that it was Wang Can who was holding on to the previous matter, which made Li Yi very puzzled, and at the same time gave birth to a little bit of vigilance.

While Li Yi wondered whether Wang Can wanted to retreat and seek something from him, he took Wang Can's arm very apologetically and said, "Oh, what's the reason for Zhongxuan, it's just a few jokes after drinking , How could I take it to heart? If all of this is a crime, I should go to trouble Guo Fengxiao first."

Li Yi unceremoniously made fun of Guo Jia, and used him to block Wang Can's "self-blame".

Sure enough, Wang Can's expression froze, and Li took the opportunity to pull him up, and then helped him to sit down, and then Li Yi said again: "To be honest, I was really unhappy when I heard Zhong Xuan's words last night, but I I am not a person with a small belly, so I soon realized that although drinking a slip of the tongue is disgraceful, it is also human nature, if it is right or wrong based on drunk speech, how many people in the world are not at fault?"

Li Yi's words sounded very comfortable, and he was quite distracted, which made Wang Can very fond of him, but if he liked him, Wang Can would not really believe Li Yi's words. Dong Zhuo's lesson was too painful. Easy to deal with, you must have more eyes.

Wang Can arched his hands and said, "Mr. Xiang has a heart that makes Can feel ashamed."

"Where."

Li Yi raised his hand, but Wang Can said again: "It's just that Can is indeed wrong. If it's because of the magnanimity of Xianghou, then accept it calmly. This is not the way of life, and it is against the teachings of the elders in the family."
