Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Gao Shun was very moved by this. To be honest, even though Lu Bu valued Gao Shun, he was not as enthusiastic about him as Li Yi.

Moreover, what made Gao Shun feel even more heartwarming was that Li Yi was enthusiastic, but he never mentioned that he wanted to win Gao Shun to Nanyang, not even a hint.

When he came to Nanyang, Gao Shun also thought about how he should refuse if Li Yi wins him over again, so as to break Li Yi's thoughts, and at the same time not hurt Li Yi's face.

It's not that Gao Shun is careless, you know, Li Yi wanted to pack him and Zhang Liao away at the beginning, but Gao Shun refused.

Li Yi's attitude now relieves Gao Shun of a lot of pressure.

In fact, this is also Li Yi's intention. Since you know that you can't win Gao Shun, don't talk about losing your favor in vain. Moreover, with Gao Shun's position on Lu Bu's side, if something happens to Lu Bu in the future, Gao Shun If he can survive again, it is very likely that he will take the remnants of Lu Bu to Li Yi in the future.

Although this is only a possibility, it is very worthwhile for Li Yi to try. Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, and once it succeeds, it will be a big deal.

It's just that although Li Yi entertained Gao Shun warmly, Gao Shun left the next day. No matter how Li Yi persuaded Gao Shun to stay, it would be impossible to let Gao Shun rest for a day or two, because Gao Shun said that the situation on Lu Bu's side was very tight. He is really worried outside.

Helpless, Li Yi could only ask someone to prepare clothes, dried meat and other things for Gao Shun, and then sent Gao Shun ten miles outside the city before turning back.

At the time of parting, Li Yi repeatedly told Gao Shun that everything related to Yuan Shu should be kept secret, and no news should be leaked, otherwise, if things changed, it would be extremely detrimental to everyone.

After Gao Shun left, Li Yi entered a short period of stability, and everything was done step by step. Only Liu Biao sent an official letter, asking Li Yi how many troops Nanyang has now, and whether he has recruited too many troops. After reading it, Li Yi, Just smiled, didn't take it seriously at all, and replied to Liu Biao casually, saying that there are less than 8000 people in Nanyang

Anyway, Yuan Shu was about to make a move, and Li Yi was not afraid of Liu Biao getting angry with him at all.

Soon, time entered March, and Wancheng, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again, because the beloved prefect was about to take a concubine again.

Chapter 361 The Unexpected Visitor

According to Li Yi's thinking, he wanted to handle the affairs of the Mi family and the Zhuge family together.

The reason is very simple. As the number one person in Nanyang County, whenever there is any movement in the prefect's mansion, those big families, or people who have some contacts with the prefect's mansion, as well as Li Yi's subordinates, must "express" their feelings and reason of.

Some of them are voluntary, and want to get close to Li Yi, so there is a gift-giving project that they will naturally not miss.

But these people did a bit too much, let alone those things, even when Li Yi released those elementary school textbooks, someone actually gave a big box, wrapped in red silk, heavy, with the words Xiang Hou Hehe, should be the words of Xiang Hou He and so on, all the way through the market, and then others saw it, thinking that this is not going to work, everyone is a family, if others give you away, you don’t give it away, this is not to be remembered by the prefect Do you go to the notebook?

Ever since, everyone followed suit, and Li Yi accepted a wave of gifts inexplicably.

Even Li Yi's subordinates followed suit, even Guo Jia Jiaxu, who knew Li Yi's temperament best, was no exception. People respect him, but at the same time fear him. No one wants to make Li Yi "pay special attention" to him because of a little thing.

There are still many such things. Some time ago, paper was produced and some people gave gifts.

At first Li Yi was very happy about this situation, and was a little complacent, thinking that it was because everyone respected his reputation.

But after all, he is a relatively calm person, and he immediately found out what was wrong.

Some people are willing to give gifts, and naturally some are not. After all, not everyone is pleasing to Li Yi.

It's okay to really disagree with Li Yi, anyway, I don't like it anyway, the appearance of that kind of person can be counted, so you don't have to be polite at all.

The important thing is that those neutral factions, if because they often need to give gifts to Li Yi, they will have a bad impression on Li Yi, and even think that Li Yi is deliberately extorting bribes from them, this will have a bad reputation, and it will definitely not be worth the candle for Li Yi.

Referring to later generations, if you are engaged, married, pregnant, full moon, hundred days old, one year old, if you place wine every time, and call colleagues from work every time, you will definitely lose your character.

However, considering that this kind of thing is not good to just say no to accept gifts, after all, it hurts people's face, so Li Yi can only try to squeeze some things, such as taking concubines, Li Yi decided that the Zhuge sisters and the Mi family's daughter Enter the door together and do it together.

Li Yi told Zhuge Xuan about this idea, and explained the reason behind it. Zhuge Xuan fully agreed, and praised Li Yi's wiseness again and again, saying that everything was under Li Yi's arrangement.

However, after the matter was decided, Li Yi had no choice but to find Zhuge Xuan again and tell him that the affairs of the two sisters of the Zhuge family were going to be done in a while as the Mi family sent their relatives closer and closer to Wancheng.

There is no way, there is too much movement in the Mi family, let alone the things on the dowry gift list, there are more than 5000 servants for the dowry alone, and according to those who have seen it, the battle was really mighty, and everyone It's almost time to march and fight.

Li Yi knew that Mi Zhu must have been moved by the things he had said to Mi Fang, and that's why he made a big effort to invest in him.

This situation is naturally worthy of Li Yi's joy, but it is a bit unfriendly to Zhuge Xuan and the Zhuge sisters.

After Zhugexuan escaped from Yuzhang, he didn’t have any money on him. In life, he was first helped by Liu Biao, and then he was paid by Li Yi. , but definitely not ample.

When Li Yi saw this, he naturally wanted to help out, but if he just gave food, or some clothes and supplies to the juniors of the Zhuge family, it would be fine. Zhuge Xuan would thank him and accept it, but if Li Yi directly gave money, or gave some valuables Items, Zhuge Xuan said that he didn't want anything.

Zhugexuan's reason was that Li Yi had done great favors to their Zhuge family, but the Zhuge family had no credit for Li Yi, and he felt extremely guilty. If he accepted Li Yi's money for no reason, wouldn't it be in vain?

Even if Li Yi forced it, Zhuge Xuan said he would resign, but Li Yi had no choice but to give up, but asked Zhuge Liang to bring some meat or other things to his home on weekdays.

Speaking of Zhuge Liang, I have to mention that after seeing Zhuge Liang, people like Cai Yong and Huang Chengyan liked Zhuge Liang very much, and they all intended to accept him as a disciple. However, under Li Yi's secret operation, Zhuge Liang finally recognized Jia Xu as the The teachers on the surface are actually taught by Jia Xu and Guo Jia together, and Zhuge Liang often follows them.

Of course, because Zhuge Liang is too young, although Li Yi is optimistic about him, he will not let him participate in government affairs.

Although Zhuge Xuan didn't like Guo Jia's frivolity, he didn't deny his talent and learning, and he didn't object to Li Yi's arrangement, and he was very grateful to Li Yi, because Li Yi asked his two confidant advisers to teach Zhuge Liang. How important is this?

When Li Yi cryptically expressed to Zhuge Xuan that the Mi family's wedding ceremony was too loud, if the affairs of both parties were done at the same time, the only ones who could see it would be the Mi family, and Zhuge's side might not even be able to splash a little bit of water. , it's really embarrassing to face, so it's better to wait until then.

Although Zhuge Xuan felt a little sour in his heart and felt that he could not afford any decent dowry and treated his two nieces badly, but he had too much affection for Li Yi, so he insisted that we should do it together, and there was no need to trouble Li Yi once .

Regarding Zhuge Xuan's attitude, Li Yi really liked him more and more. He couldn't bear to embarrass him. He forcibly postponed the time for Zhuge Xuan's sisters to come in. Zhuge Xuan wanted to persuade him, but Li Yi only said that he didn't want his own daughter Too wronged.

Li Yi said so, Zhuge Xuan could only agree, and was very moved here.

In a blink of an eye, one day the Mi family's team will arrive in Wancheng. After nightfall, Li Yi sat alone in the study, leaning against a floppy bed, thinking over the gift list from the Mi family.

The Mi family was very generous. Although it was not like funding Liu Biao, the whole family posted it in one go, but Li Yi was very satisfied when he saw the content. After all, he is not based in Xuzhou for the time being, so even if he wanted to post the cheats, he would not be able to post them. aspect.

Moreover, the person who came on this trip was Mi Zhu. The Mi family really had the final say. While Li Yi was looking at the items on the gift list, he was also speculating on Mi Zhu's attitude, so as to determine how he should communicate with Mi Zhu in the future.

Just as she was thinking about something, a maid came in and said softly: "Master, there is a guest visiting, and I am waiting for the master to be summoned by the back door."

Li Yi put down the gift list, rubbed the center of his brows, and looked at the maid again, feeling very strange in his heart, it's dark today, why do you want to visit, and you are going through the back door, is it a gift, or is it because you want to have sex with yourself What invisible transactions?

While thinking wildly in his heart, Li Yi sat up and asked, "Who is here?"

The maid shook her head and said: "My maidservant doesn't know, but I heard from the guard in front of the door that he was a rich man in his robes, and his appearance was not vicious, but he refused to tell his name, he just sent a name card, and said that he could only let the master dear."

With that said, the maid put a famous post on the cases in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi became more and more curious. He glanced at the famous post, thought for a while and didn't open it directly. Instead, he took a hairpin with a wick from the side, poked it a few times, and slowly pushed aside the closed famous post to confirm what was inside. After not hiding anything, he moved his head closer to look, and at the same time he did not forget to tell the maid: "If there is a similar situation in the future, you can ask Zhao Da or Dian Wei to check it first."

Although Li Yi felt that he was a little too careful, but he was about to take off, and he would soon be a senior member of the party, and it was only natural to cherish his life. The ancestral graves have to be blown up.

"Yes, the servant took it down."

As soon as the maid answered, she heard Li Yihu's soft call, which startled her. She thought there was something weird about the name card, so she quickly looked at Li Yi, only to see that Li Yi frowned, holding the name card in his hand , has started pacing back and forth.

As if aware of the maid's stare, Li Yi took a deep breath, waved to her after a while and said, "Go to the back door and lead that person here yourself. Don't talk to other people, and don't talk to others Contact, remember?"

"Yes."

The maid responded and walked out immediately, while Li Yi himself continued to pace the room. Shaoqing, Li Yi picked up the name card again, only to see that the most striking words in the name card were Kuai Liang, the prefect of Nanjun.
