Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 65 System-Visible Hidden Features

Watching the carriage Dong Zhuo was riding slowly out of the alley, Liu Yu wondered why Niu Fu didn't leave with him.

"Is General Niu still busy? Do you want to go to the mansion for a meeting?"

"It's okay to say it here. I will let the leader of the spy team come to the mansion to report to you tomorrow morning. Remember his name is Zhang Xiu."

It turned out that Niu Fu was going to tell the secret spy about it, and after he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but he turned back after only taking two steps.

"By the way, there is one thing I didn't want to understand. The Grand Master once ordered Mu Zhi to live in the Taiwei's Mansion, but why did you refuse General Guo Si outside the Canglong Gate? You must know that the supplies in the Taiwei's Mansion are It is issued by the palace, but you live in this alley and you have to find ways to support your subordinates."

Hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly realized, no wonder Dong Zhuo mentioned Taiwei's Mansion as soon as he entered the small courtyard, so there is such a thing in the middle!
Was it Han Rang or Guo Si, or did the two have already discussed to hide this matter?

And Dong Zhuo obviously didn't take this matter too seriously, but Niu Fu insisted on leaving alone to remind him again.

Could it be that he had a feud with the two of them, Guo Si, did he make a hint at this time to win him over to deal with those two?
Thinking of this, Liu Yu tentatively asked: "Thank you, General Niu, for reminding me. By the way, I have one thing I don't know. If it is found out that some generals in the Xiliang Army participated in the matter of driving up food prices, how should I deal with it?"

But I heard Niu Fu reply: "Just let Mu Zhi do it, there is me behind you, there is the grand master to back you up, no matter if you are a court official or a general in the army...even if it is a general of the Xiliang Army, as long as you do something illegal They must be punished severely.”

After Niu Fu said this, he turned and left with a smile. This was the first time he laughed tonight.

And the last sentence he said was even more intriguing.

"Illegal thing! Hehe, it seems that Niu Fu really wants to use my hand to get rid of Guo Si!"

"Ding, Niu Fu's friendship has reached 50."

Liu Yu didn't want to know what the conflict between Niu Fu and Guo Si was, but seeing Niu Fu's soaring friendliness made him willing to help.

That night Liu Yu lay on the bed and relived the conversation with Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu.

At this time, he discovered that there seemed to be many loopholes in the problem of food shortage in Luoyang.

For example, the price of grain remains high, why doesn't Dong Zhuo transfer grain from Chang'an or Xiliang to make it cheaper?
And if this incident of driving up food prices was really related to the court ministers, then with Dong Zhuo's brutal character, why did he still kill one person now?
Could it be that Dong Zhuo's temper has changed drastically, and he has started to use evidence to convince others in everything he does?

According to historical records, Luoyang City at this time is being besieged by the armies of princes, and it will be burned by Dong Zhuo in a short time.

But now that the princes and armies have all retreated, history has changed.

Therefore, Liu Yu can only believe that it is due to his own reasons that many things and many people have deviated from the original track.

As the night was getting darker, Liu Yu was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but at this moment he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.

"Brother Mu, have you fallen asleep?"

As soon as he heard Cai Yan's voice, Liu Yu opened the door, and saw Cai Yan and a maid standing outside the house.

"Is there anything Yan'er can do for me at such a late hour?"

In the morning, in the alley, Liu Yu publicly announced that Cai Yan was his fiancée, and then changed her name to Yan'er.

Cai Yan also knew that he was trying to deceive others, but he was still a little shy when he heard such an intimate address.

"It's nothing, just looking at the lights in the room and wanting to talk to you."

Cai Yan lifted her foot into the room, and the maid who came with her hesitated whether she should follow in.

The maid was newly recruited by the butler Laifu in the afternoon, but she was considered smart, so she turned around and went back first after saluting.

Only then did Liu Yu notice the newly recruited maidservant.

The woman is not very old, but she is very handsome. It is very likely that the child of a defeated official's family became a maid when she was desperate.

There was no one else in the room, so Cai Yan asked about his father, because he had seen the butler Lai Fu seem to be busy cooking when it was dark.

After inquiring, she found out that it was her father Cai Yong who came. Just when she was so happy that she could have a reunion dinner with her father, Dong Zhuo suddenly appeared.

So the meeting between father and daughter had to fail, and Cai Yan was anxious to know about his father's situation in Luoyang, so he came to Liu Yu's bedroom so late without avoiding suspicion.

Liu Yu didn't know much about Cai Yong's situation, but judging from Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him, he shouldn't have suffered too much trouble.

Liu Yu comforted her a few words and suddenly heard Cai Yan's stomach growl a few times.

"Did Yan'er not eat tonight?"

Cai Yan replied with some embarrassment: "I'm not used to Luoyang's food."

Liu Yu didn't have enough to eat at night, so he asked his servants to boil some boiling water, and prepared to have an extra meal with Cai Yan.

If you are hungry at night, get a bowl of Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles to satisfy your hunger and fill you up.

Half an hour later, Cai Yan drank the last sip of soup in the bowl, and then pursed her lips contentedly.

"Earlier, brother Muzhi said that there are a lot of this kind of noodles and condiments in the mansion, but I asked Uncle Fu that there are none in the mansion, and he doesn't know that 'Master Kong'. What's going on?"

Liu Yu knew that Cai Yan would definitely mention "Master Kong" to himself after eating the delicacy of later generations, so he told her the story he made up in advance.

"I put away the noodles and condiments. If Yan'er wants to eat it, just come to me. As for Master Kong, he is actually a shadow guard. Only my father and I know of his existence at home."

Then Liu Yu changed his tone and reminded Cai Yan very solemnly that the servants and maidservants in the family were newly recruited and should not be trusted, and he should be asked to solve problems in the future, and the real identity must not be revealed.

Cai Yan also knew that it was about the safety of her father and Liu Yu, and she repeatedly promised that she would be a "fiancée" who would keep her own place.

It's just that when she said the word fiancee, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Liu Yu wanted to make some fun but suddenly heard a crisp system prompt.

"Ding, Cai Yan's intimacy has reached 100, do you want to execute the recruitment order?"

"..."

The sudden surprise made Liu Yu a little overwhelmed, so he quickly opened the system to check it carefully.

"Ding, Cai Yan, resourcefulness 80, charm 95, intimacy 100, five elements attribute, wood."

"This...what the hell is going on! How can female characters use the system to check attribute values, and Cai Yan is actually a special character with five elements attributes!"

In fact, out of curiosity, Liu Yu checked Cai Yan with the visual function when he first met her.

But there was no response from the system at that time.

"Is it because of the last system reward?"

The last reward given by the novice package is the effect of enhancing the visual function.

After the enhancement, the range of visual functions has increased a lot, but Liu Yu didn't expect that there would be an additional hidden function, which can check the attributes of female characters.

After checking the relevant instructions, Liu Yu found that female characters do not have complete four-dimensional attributes, and the system will only display the one with the highest value among the four items of force, command, resourcefulness, and mind.

In addition, a female character has an extra charm value, which represents her appearance, and a female character with a charm value greater than 95 will have five elements.

In addition, unlike the friendship of male generals, female characters are intimacy.

When the intimacy reaches 100, the recruitment can be 100% successful.

However, the system did not specify whether the female character had other feelings for the host after the recruitment was successful.

Although the wood attribute is one of the five elements that the system needs to recharge, Liu Yu decided to give up the recruitment temporarily after thinking for a while.

Because Cai Yan is the one he wants to marry as his wife, it would be too boring to become a subordinate who only knows how to be loyal to himself.
