Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"You you you."

Mi Zhu sighed again, and said, "You still don't understand what worries me."

"In the past few months, the family business has been in your hands, and there has been no improvement at all. Because of your anger, you first detained Li Yi's subordinates, and then the favors accumulated in the past years prevented Xuzhou grain merchants from doing business with Li Yi."

"Of course you enjoyed doing this for a while, but have you ever thought about how much my Mi family has paid and how much they have gained?"

"Hey, my Mi family and Li Yi do have some grievances, but it's not a life-and-death enmity. But what you've done is hurting the enemy eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand. This is not the way of business at all."

Mi Fang knew that what Mi Zhu said was right, but she still felt a little aggrieved in her heart, and argued: "Back then in Luoyang, Li Yi's department would rob my elder brother's property, and my Mi family suffered such humiliation. If we swallowed our anger and sold grain to Li Yi, wouldn't it be a shame? People in Xuzhou underestimated my Mi family, thinking that my Mi family is weak and can be bullied?"

"Ah"

Mi Zhu gave a weak laugh, narrowed his eyes, and raised his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something far away. After a while, he breathed in lightly, and said, "Brother, I was in Luoyang City when I saw it with my own eyes. Dong Zhuo is in power, the city is chaotic and disorderly, and murderers abound in the streets, even if my brother occasionally dreams about it now, when I think of the scene at that time, I still can't help but get cold hands and feet, and my whole body is dripping with cold sweat."

Mi Fang and Mi Zhen also showed a trace of fear on their faces. Back then, Mi Zhu was trapped in Luoyang and lost contact with the Mi family. Mi Fang and Mi Zhen, who stayed at home, almost thought that Mi Zhu had encountered an accident, even though Mi Zhu returned safely later. , Talking to them about the tragic situation in Luoyang City, although they didn't see it personally, it also made them terrified.

Mi Zhu continued: "When the man named Xu Huang robbed me of my belongings, I thought I was bound to die. Fortunately, he didn't hurt my life. It's ridiculous. Although I felt a little resentful at that time, I was actually glad that I was more Many, I even want to thank him for not killing, you have to know which one of the merchants in Luoyang City was not looted by Xiliang soldiers at that time, which one was not dead, or even wiped out?"

"It's extremely lucky to save my brother's life."

"After escaping from Luoyang and everything was stable, Brother Wei did have the idea of ​​trying to get back some face from Li Yi, but after hearing some of Li Yi's actions, he knew that he and Dong Zhuo were not on the same path, then His thoughts faded, and after Li Yi killed Dong Zhuo, he secretly made up his mind that he must not be an enemy in this life!"

Mi Fang said unwillingly: "Then let's forget about what happened at the beginning? Li Yi is the prefect of a county, and the elder brother is the governor of Xuzhou. Compared with his status, he may not be worse than him!"

"You still don't understand!"

Mi Zhu stared at Mi Fang, somewhat hating him for not contending: "Although Li Yi is only the prefect of one place, in terms of official position alone, he is not as good as Tao Shijun, but at the beginning the Eighteenth Route princes couldn't help Dong Zhuo, and Li Yi took Dong Zhuo's life. Character, do you really treat him as an ordinary prefect?"

"Li Yi, we have to make friends or avoid seeing him, but we can't make enemies with him, or we can't sleep well for my brother."

Mi Fang opened her mouth and wanted to say something again, but this time Mi Zhu stopped her with a wave of her hand, and said, "I know you are unwilling, and feel that my Mi family has been humiliated. If you want to get this wrong from Li Yi, it is tantamount to If you play with fire, you will easily harm yourself."

"Actually, if you really want to vent your anger, it's not impossible, but you have used the most stupid method."

"Li Yi is short of food, and I have a lot of rice. If he wants to buy it, I'll just sell it to him. As long as we operate a little secretly and raise the price of the grain, my Mi family can not only earn a lot of money. Afterwards, Li Yi I will still miss my Mi family, my Mi family has benefited inside and out, isn't this ten times better than your plan of losing both?"

"As for the Luoyang matter back then, instead of haggling over with Li Yi, it's better to ignore it. When Li Yi thinks about it someday in the future, and sees that my Mi family not only doesn't care about it, but sells grain to him, I must feel guilty. Li Yi is now Given his age, if he is given ten years, it is very likely that he will take care of one side, so how can my Mi family's income at that time be compared with mere money?"

"Hey, regarding Li Yi, my Mi family had a lot to do, but now it's too late!"

After listening to Mi Zhu's outline of the future, Mi Fang also felt a trace of remorse in her heart, but then she thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I don't know that my brother has a long-term vision, and I can't regret it, but"

Mi Fang glanced at Mi Zhen, and continued: "But since elder brother values ​​Li Yi so much, it's not that there is no way to remedy it."

Mi Zhu glanced at him and asked, "How to remedy it?"

Mi Fang's voice became softer again, and she said in a low voice: "It is rumored that Li Yi sent an envoy here with the purpose of begging to marry his younger sister, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

"Bullshit!"

Before Mi Fang could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Mi Zhu angrily.

At the same time, Mi Zhen also looked at her second brother in disbelief, apparently not expecting him to have such thoughts.

Mi Zhen felt dissatisfied, but he was his daughter's family, so he couldn't complain to his brother, so he could only put down the tea spoon in his hand, lower his head and bit his lips, not letting himself make a sound.

Mi Zhu's scolding was loud just now, which startled Mi Fang. Mi Fang didn't quite understand why her elder brother was so angry. He seemed even more angry than when he learned that he had detained Li Yi's subordinates, which made him very panicked.

Looking at Mi Zhen again, although Mi Zhen lowered her head and Mi Fang couldn't see her expression clearly, she could see a teardrop falling from her chin.

Mi Fang panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Little sister, don't misunderstand, the second brother doesn't mean to ask you to make amends, but just thinks that Li Yi is very young, and his brother praises him so much, I think it will be a good match." , That's why I said that, but if you don't agree, my Mi family doesn't agree with him, so don't cry."

What Mi Fang said was from the heart, he really didn't intend to betray his sister, but he didn't expect his brother to be furious and his sister to cry, which made him very at a loss.

However, while Mi Fang was explaining, Mi Zhu became even angrier, got up and walked behind Mi Fang, hit him on the back three times, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Stupid!"

Chapter 308 Dian Wei enters Xuzhou

The education these days is not as reasonable as that of later generations. Corporal punishment is a normal method, and it is abnormal if it is not beaten.

Although Mi Zhu is usually a kind person, but he is really angry at this time. In addition, the eldest brother is like a father, with a strong halo. When he beats Mi Fang, it is equivalent to a father beating a son. Hmph, but don't talk about protesting, I don't even dare to hide for a while, just accept it like that.

On the other hand, Mi Zhen saw Mi Zhu moved his hand, and regardless of her sadness, she really wanted to persuade her, but she found that her elder brother's eyes were a little red, and she opened her mouth, but didn't dare to make a sound.

After hitting him a few more times, Mi Zhu slowly retracted his hand.

Although his younger brother let him down, but in all fairness, Mi Fang's attitude is still very good, and he also knows that Mi Fang has no bad intentions towards his family, and what Mi Zhu is annoyed is that he is too stupid and too disappointing!

After shaking his painful hand, Mi Zhu asked coldly, "Do you know why I hit you?"

Mi Fang's face was a little pale at this time, the place where she was hit just now was her back, and Mi Zhu was not an expert, so those slaps didn't hurt much.

It's just that in Mi Fang's impression, it was the first time that her elder brother had such a big temper, it was really scary.

When Mi Zhu asked her something, Mi Fang subconsciously wanted to say that she shouldn't have proposed to agree to Li Yi's marriage proposal just now, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the matter was not that simple.

But Mi Fang could only think of this, and there was nothing she could do.

Seeing Mi Fang's bewildered face, Mi Zhu felt his hands itch again, and took several deep breaths in a row. Then he resisted the urge to hit someone, tapped Mi Fang's forehead forcefully, and reprimanded: "Originally, if my Mi family and Li Yi got married, although he made Zhen'er his concubine, which is a bit wronged, but Li Yi is a dragon and a phoenix after all, and he will have a bright future in the future, so it's not impossible."

Mi Fang raised her head and peeked at Mi Zhu, thinking that she meant the same thing just now, why did she get beaten?

But Mi Zhen lowered her head again, a little embarrassed, there was nothing she could do. Although Mi Zhu had just hit someone with an animation master, he was still a gentleman. The same words, the same meaning came out of Mi Zhu’s mouth, and it felt like a spring breeze, why? It's all reasonable, but what Mi Fang said is completely different, and it's very suspicious of giving away my sister for glory.

Mi Zhu sighed again, he didn't know how many times he sighed during this time.

Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Mi Zhu finally said: "What I said was before, although my Mi family had some conflicts with Li Yi's subordinates, but it's a trivial matter, whether Li Yi knows Not necessarily, if we can get married, it will be a happy event for both families, and the previous conflicts, as long as we talk about it, it will naturally disappear."

"But it's different now. My Mi family detained Li Yi's subordinates and didn't sell him food. This directly cut Li Yi's face, and it's also known to everyone. Do you think Li Yi treats me now? How much kindness can the Mi family have?"

No matter how stupid Mi Fang is, she has tasted a little taste at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, it's hard to say, Li Yi wants to use the name of getting married with the younger sister, so as to harm my Mi family?"

Mi Zhu nodded lightly and said, "It's not sure yet, but the possibility is very high."

With Mi Zhu's confirmation, the faces of Mi Fang and Mi Zhen suddenly became ugly.

"Li Yi is only about [-] years old now, and he has been an official for less than a year. During this period, he killed Dong Zhuo, made him a marquis, and served as a prefect of any place. It is difficult to match how many people he has achieved in his life. It is not unreasonable to say that Li Yi has achieved fame. Pass"

"Brother, although I have never met Li Yi, so I don't know what his personality is, but how proud is such a young person with such achievements? Now that Li Yi has been humiliated by my Mi family, will he be willing to let it go?"

"The people that Li Yi sent to Xuzhou this time are mainly Dian Wei. This Dian Wei is a warrior who is illiterate. It is said that he once set up a ring in Xiangyang City and fought dozens of times a day. No hero in Jingzhou can match him. As an enemy, Li Yi even calls it the best in the world, regardless of how true this title is, but since Li Yi uses this person as his envoy, it can be seen that his attitude is tough, and the comer is not kind!"

Mi Zhu sighed and said: "In terms of wealth, my Mi family is second to none in Xuzhou, and I am also well-known in the whole world. However, those wealth are the confidence for my Mi family to stand in the world, and at the same time, it is also a deadly noose."

"Fortunately, Brother Wei believes in being kind to others, trying not to offend others as much as possible, and befriending Mr. Tao Shijun, so he can keep this family business. But these help comes from outside after all. One day, it will really give others a reason to deal with my Mi family. It's really hard to say how much Tao Shijun can do."

"The matter of Li Yi buying grain before was very strange. According to my brother's speculation, Jingzhou is rich and the surplus grain is enough to feed the people in Nanyang. There is no need to buy grain from outside, let alone Xuzhou."
