Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system
Chapter 281: Recruiting the 3rd Prince
Lu You had no idea that Wen Chengjie had already arranged a match for her.
What she was thinking about now was how to trick Wen Chengjie in front of Wu Quanwen.
After all, she had been led around by Wen Chengjie these past two days, and that feeling was really suffocating. How could she miss this opportunity to vent her anger?
Wen Chengjie chatted with Zuo Yunfeng for a few more words before turning his gaze to Wu Quanwen and the other three.
"My fellow warriors, you have just killed the Jin soldiers with unparalleled bravery. I really admire you."
"I have yet to ask your names, and where you come from?"
Hearing Wen Chengjie's question, Wu Quanwen's three guards were all silent, but they did not communicate at all, and still stood there loosely.
If Lu You hadn't known the relationship between them for a long time, he would not have been able to tell that they were master and servant.
“This is Old Wu!”
Lu You spoke first.
"He is Guan Shanyue's student. I have met him before at Shangpin Academy in Jianhe County."
[Negative emotions from Wen Chengjie +30, +30, +30...]
Wen Chengjie smiled and clasped his fists towards Wu Quanwen: "I see that Brother Wu is a refined and profound person with extraordinary aura. I wonder where Brother Wu is from?"
"He's from the Wu family in Dongwang Prefecture." Wu Quanwen replied with a fist salute.
When Wen Chengjie heard the three words "Dongwang Mansion", he was surprised.
"Dongwang Prefecture is more than 6,000 miles away from here. It is the easternmost prefecture of our Wu Dynasty. Why did Brother Wu come here?"
Wu Quanwen chuckled when he heard this.
"It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books."
"Not only did I go from Dongwang Prefecture to Xijiang Prefecture, I also want to go to Nanning Prefecture and Beian Prefecture."
"Isn't it possible?"
Hearing Wu Quanwen's question, Wen Chengjie laughed out loud.
"Brother Wu, you are joking. As long as you don't commit crimes, you can go anywhere in this world."
"I just envy Brother Wu's carefreeness. He can travel around and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers, and he can also fight against the Jin soldiers to defend his country."
"Brother Wu is so righteous, I admire him!"
"You're welcome." Wu Quanwen clasped his fists and said, "Young talents like you are the foundation of our Wu Nation."
Wen Chengjie chuckled and looked at the other three people: "I wonder if these three..."
"He's my bodyguard." Wu Quanwen said calmly.
Following Wu Quanwen's words, the three guards saluted in unison.
"Meet Guard Wen."
"You're too polite. We're all family. There's no need for such false formalities."
Wen Chengjie said with a smile.
"This place is full of broken limbs and bodies, and we'll have to burn them soon. This is not the place to talk."
"Why don't you follow me into the city first? I will arrange accommodation and prepare wine and food to welcome you all!"
Hearing this, Zuo Yunfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Got a drink? Let's go, let's get into the city!"
Zuo Yunfeng was a very outgoing person. As he spoke, he held Wen Chengjie's wrist and walked towards the city.
Lu You clearly saw that the expressions of Wu Quanwen and others suddenly became strange.
amount……
"Have you ever had a drink with Zuo Yunfeng?" Lu You asked Wu Quanwen in a low voice.
[Negative emotions from Wu Quanwen +60, +60, +60...]
"I drank it once!" Wu Quanwen said softly.
Hearing the negative emotion prompt sound in his mind, Lu You understood that Zuo Yunfeng must be drunk again.
"What did he do?"
"Guess riddles..." Wu Quanwen said without changing his expression.
Play riddles?
Lu You was full of confusion, trying to understand the meaning of this.
The guard next to him recognized Lu You and had heard Lu You recite the Four Sentences of Hengqu in the academy with his own ears. He knew that his master valued the girl in front of him very much, so he started to explain.
"About ten days ago, Ningguan Pass was breached and we retreated to an uninhabited village on the south side of Xijiang Prefecture."
"In a cellar, dozens of jars of wine were found. The soldiers were hungry and thirsty, so the young master ordered people to distribute the wine."
"We agreed that each person should only drink three sips, just to moisten the throat."
"But after taking three sips, Young Master Zuo started to act crazy, holding on to the jar and refusing to let go, and kept asking people to guess the riddles."
Guess the lantern riddles...
Lu You’s thoughts raced, and his mind sank directly into the storage space.
In that chaotic space, there were many things floating in the air. Lu You's mind moved slightly, and a piece of letter paper floated in front of him.
I am so ugly when drunk that I can’t bear to mention it, and I am too embarrassed to say goodbye to you.
Wait until the victory news arrives at Ningguan, then enjoy the full moon and solve lantern riddles...
Looking at the note that Zuo Yunfeng left for him before leaving without saying goodbye, Lu You's heart was moved slightly.
"Did he say anything else?" Lu You looked up and asked the guard.
"He also said half a poem." Wu Quanwen took over the conversation and said lightly: "I urge you to drink another cup of wine, there will be no friends west of Ningguan."
"Yeah!" Lu You nodded and said, "It's well written."
"It's definitely not written by him." Wu Quanwen said with a smile: "I noticed him right after he arrived at Ningguan, and we have been together day and night for more than a month."
"This boy is simple, chivalrous, and warm-hearted, but at the same time he is brainless and has no literary talent at all."
Hearing this, Lu You looked at Wu Quanwen speechlessly.
It was the first time she heard someone praise someone so sincerely.
"Do you know who wrote this?" Wu Quanwen looked at Lu You meaningfully and asked.
"Wang Wei." Lu You replied with a smile.
"Never heard of it." Wu Quanwen thought for a moment and shook his head.
Hearing this, Lu You said softly, "The Wu Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. Who dares to say that he knows everyone?"
"You said you came from Dongwang Mansion, isn't that also to prevent Wen Chengjie from finding out?"
Wu Quanwen did not refute: "Lu You, everyone likes smart people, but they are afraid of people who are too smart. Do you know why?"
"I'm afraid of being threatened." Lu You answered casually: "After all, no one wants to be seen through their thoughts, right?"
"Then why did you expose me?" Wu Quanwen asked with a smile.
"That doesn't count." Lu You shook his head and said, "Besides, you didn't hide your thoughts very well. Wen Chengjie must have seen through it, but he just didn't say it."
"He is smarter than you, and he will hide his shortcomings."
Lu You stopped and looked at Wu Quanwen: "I don't need to hide my weakness, because I won't pose any threat to you."
Hearing Lu You's words, Wu Quanwen also stopped.
"Are you rejecting my offer?"
"I dare not." Lu You nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Besides, the Third Prince never said he would recruit me. If he hadn't said so, how could I refuse?"
Wu Quanwen gradually stopped smiling when he heard this: "What if I tell you now?"
"You won't." Lu You said lightly.
"Why?" the third prince continued to ask.
"Because you are a smart person." Lu You showed the dragon-patterned jade pendant in his hand: "This is what Mr. Guan left for me. If you recruit me, you are recruiting Mr. Guan."
"I guess you'd never do that!"
