Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time, unable to believe that such a large piece of pie fell from the sky.

Yet it is.

Cao Cao, who was insignificant in troubled times, had already obtained his first Zhang Liang at this moment.

Compared to Yuan Shao who got Luo Qi, he was already countless times luckier.

Because what Yuan Shao got was not Zhang Liang, but a wolf introduced into the room.

A wolf waiting to devour its master.

Time flies by and disappears in the blink of an eye.

Half a month has passed since the incident in Luoyang.

Everything was going as expected. The Guo family was responsible for rebuilding Luoyang. It could be said that they made a huge fortune. Moreover, even the Zhen family had been annexed, and their financial resources, which were originally second to none, expanded to an incredible level.

Zhen Mi officially became a member of Luo Qi's camp and managed all fund circulation.

She was exactly what Luo Qi expected. She was really a business wizard, managing her accounts in an orderly manner and all funds flowing with ease.This allowed Fan Li and Luo Qi to free up their hands to implement the next plan...the plan to eat Yuan Shao.

Xindu, Guo Mansion.

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Then, what is your next step?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "I don't understand you."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "You are a dignified prince of the Yue Kingdom, and you are definitely determined to restore the country. How can you be willing to be a small staff member under Yuan Shao? Therefore, the Yuan family is obviously your prey and a stepping stone for you to expand your strength. I'm sure I'm right about this, right?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "You came to me just to say this?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said: "I'm really curious about what means you will use to eat Yuan Shao. This kind of thing is more complicated than the Luoyang incident. I am looking forward to how wonderful your plan is."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "If I remember correctly, we don't seem to be in the same group, right?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Although it wasn't the case before, the situation is different now."

Luo Qi said lightly: "Are you trying to say that because the Zhen family has boarded my chariot, you plan to advance and retreat together with them?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "That's right."

Luo Qi said calmly: "But my intelligence shows that you only have a deep friendship with Zhen Mi. In fact, you have nothing to do with the Zhen family. Why do you have to compromise for them?"

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you trust me?"

Luo Qi sighed slightly: "I'm just afraid of falling into your trap accidentally, because I have known for a long time that your mind is very smart."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "I am just your defeated general, why are you so afraid?"

Luo Qi said calmly: "We don't have to play riddles. Why don't we talk openly and honestly, and maybe we can find a consensus. So let me ask again, why do you want to help me?"

Huang Yueying was silent for a moment and said: "Because I am looking forward to it very much."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"

Huang Yueying continued: "I am looking forward to what kind of changes a person like you will bring to Hebei and even the entire Eastern Han Dynasty."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "So you want to see how I develop?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "That's right."

Luo Qi rubbed his brow and sighed slightly: "This is really a ridiculous reason."

Huang Yueying nodded: "Yes."

Roach raised his head and smiled: "But I don't know why... I actually want to believe it."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "I knew you would believe me."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Huang Yueying said lightly: "Sincerity words are naturally pleasing to the ear."

Luo Qi looked at Huang Yueying and suddenly smiled: "The more I talk to you, the more fortunate I feel. Being able to become a companion with you is indeed a great thing."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "So... you agree to accept me?"

Luo Qi nodded and said: "Zhen Mi is already the object in my cage, and she has already spread her wings and cannot escape. And you and her are close friends of life and death. Of course I can trust you."

Huang Yueying chuckled and said: "It turns out that this is the key to mutual trust between you and me."

Luo Qi was noncommittal and smiled: "Then we can talk more deeply about how you think Yuan Shao should be eaten?"

Huang Yueying said: "If you want to swallow up Yuan Shao, you must not be impatient. The Yuan family tree has deep roots and cannot be shaken in a few days. The only thing you can do is to build a career and climb up step by step until the influence has penetrated." We can only wait for opportunities after traveling up and down Hebei Province.”

Luo Qi lazily said: "Isn't this too slow?"

Huang Yueying shook her head and said: "You have neither chess pieces nor foundation in your hands. If you want to realize such a huge ambition, you can only rely on waiting... But if you are impatient, there is actually a plan that can speed up the process."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the plan?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "I remember that you have a beautiful woman named Xi Shi who is very charming and pitiful. If you let her implement the beauty trap, she will definitely cause the Yuan family to be in civil strife, which will create a good opportunity for you to rise to power. What do you think?"

Luo Qi said: "No."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you reluctant to part with it?"

Roach nodded and said, "That's right."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "In that case, then I will think of other strategies."

Luo Qi said lightly: "Actually, I have a very strange suspicion that you seemed to be testing my weakness just now. You really still regard me as an imaginary enemy, right?"

Huang Yueying raised her index finger and said softly: "There are some things... we understand each other tacitly."

Luo Qi smiled, nodded and said: "Very good, very good. This is indeed the most interesting thing. Then let me tell you another secret, as a commemoration of our first cooperation."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "What secret?"

Luo Qi approached him and said with a low smile: "Actually, I had already laid out the plan to eat Yuan Shao as early as when I was studying in Shuijing. Now I am just implementing it step by step."

Huang Yueying said with great interest: "Can you let me hear your plan?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "There are two keys to my layout, one is Cao Cao and the other is Guandu. Can you understand what I say?"

Huang Yueying frowned and said: "How can I understand such a meager clue?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Of course I didn't want you to understand, otherwise I would just have trouble sleeping and eating."

Huang Yueying said: "Then what can I do in your layout?"

Luo Qi said: "My layout has been completed a long time ago, without considering your existence at all, so in fact you really don't need to do anything, you just need to watch everything from the standpoint of a bystander."

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Now I have confirmed a fact."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "You really have a deep fear of me, which makes me deeply honored."

Luo Qi smiled and said, "I remember you are a disciple of the Yin Yang family, right?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said: "It seems that Zhen Mi has told you all these things, so how do you want to solve the problem?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "I just heard that the Yin Yang family is well versed in astronomy and geography, and can understand the universe of Yin and Yang, so I would like to ask you to help me with a divination to see if it is good or bad."

Huang Yueying sighed slightly: "Divination is just a trick of the makeup god, but it cannot be trusted."
