Arrived at the village gate.

Only a group of people stood outside the gate.

In front of him was a general, with a mighty figure and raised eyebrows.

A copper bell hung on his waist.

It was the Jinfan thief, Gan Xingba!

"Oh!"

"Xingba is here!"

Tang Jian crouched on the village wall and watched for a long time.

Originally thought that Zhou Yu came to trouble him, but unexpectedly it was not Zhou Yu, but Gan Ning.

He was overjoyed and stood up to greet him.

Gan Ning below also laughed:

"I haven't seen you for more than a month. I thought Jianming didn't remember me, Gan Ning."

Tang Jian quickly asked people to lower the drawbridge, open the village gate, and welcome Gan Ning and others in.

The two met and laughed heartily.

Just as he was about to greet, Gan Ning saw that the young general behind Tang Jian also had a bright look in his eyes, which was extraordinary.

So, he asked Tang Jian:

"Jianming, who is this?"

Tang Jian introduced Lu Kuang to Gan Ning:

"This is my general, the new land warfare instructor of the mercenary group - Lu Kuang, Lu Ziling."

Lu Kuang remained calm and symbolically clasped his fists.

Gan Ning looked at Lu Kuang and nodded, saying:

"Jianming is indeed good at judging people. I think this instructor Lu is not an ordinary person."

Tang Jian laughed and said:

"Xingba's vision is also extraordinary."

"Ziling once followed Taishi Ci and fought against Sun Ce on Shenting Ridge."

Gan Ning was surprised when he heard it!

"Such a hero?"

Lu Kuang bowed again and said calmly:

"General Gan Ning is too kind."

Gan Ning looked at Lu Kuang and showed great interest:

"Since General Ziling has such martial arts, how about we have a free time later?"

Lu Kuang did not refuse: "Being respectful is worse than obeying."

Gan Ning laughed and walked through the parade ground with Tang Jian, Lu Kuang and his entourage.

Tang Jian was willing to spend money and recently added many more troops, a total of 6,000 to 7,000 people.

And after the last selection and replacement of soldiers, the quality of the troops has also been greatly improved.

Gan Ning was amazed when he saw it.

Everyone came to the meeting room and sat down.

Tang Jian asked someone to invite Fu Tong to come and talk to Gan Ning.

After all, Fu Tong was introduced to him by Gan Ning. They have an old friendship and have not seen each other for many years. It is a good opportunity for them to reminisce.

Before Fu Tong arrived, Gan Ning sat at the table and asked Tang Jian about Fu Tong's situation.

"I heard that Fu Tong never robbed the river again after he ran away from Liu Biao."

"I wonder what the situation was like when Jianming saw him?"

Tang Jian laughed and said, "At that time, the food in his camp had already run out, but he still gave me the only bowl of pickled meat."

Gan Ning laughed and said, "This Fu Tong is still the same temper."

Not long after, Fu Tong hurried over.

Seeing Gan Ning, the two laughed and hugged.

Afterwards, Gan Ning smiled and said, "Old Fu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed much. You are still the same as before!"

Fu Tong also smiled and said, "General Gan is still as elegant as ever."

The two immediately reminisced about the past, and Tang Jian also called the guards to meet Gan Ning.

The atmosphere in the hall was warm, and everyone clapped their hands and patted each other's shoulders, and their feelings were very deep.

Tang Jian also asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Gan Ning.

After three rounds of drinking, Gan Ning put down his glass and said to Tang Jian:

"That day, Jianming and I made a bet, saying that we would form a mercenary army and establish a foundation."

"I just thought Jianming was just joking."

"I didn't expect that just a month had passed, and Jianming actually had his own foundation."

"It's really amazing."

Tang Jian raised his glass and said, "This is all thanks to Xingba for giving me a gold and silver sailboat and thirty good hands."

"And for introducing Fu Tong to me. All my achievements today are due to Xingba's help."

"If I can conquer the world and dominate the world in the future, Xingba will definitely get a share of what I get."

Gan Ning was moved and drank the glass.

The two showed their glasses and laughed.

Then, Tang Jian asked, "Xingba didn't come here just to see me, did he?"

Gan Ning nodded, then said:

"To be honest with Jianming, I came here on the orders of Marquis Wu to recruit Jianming and work for him."

"It is true that Jianming has the ability to start a business."

"But compared to Marquis Wu's possession of six counties and eighty-one states in Jiangdong, Jianming's current foundation is still a drop in the ocean."

"And my lord, Marquis Wu, also loves Jianming's talent, so he ordered me to invite him again."

"Why doesn't Jianming gather his people and join Marquis Wu's camp with me?"

"With Jianming's ability, I can guarantee that he will be valued."

Everyone was very happy to hear Gan Ning say this.

From Gan Ning's words, everyone knew that Marquis Wu attached great importance to Tang Jian.

Gan Ning also had a very high opinion of Tang Jian.

Jiangdong was about to face another battle with Cao Cao.

In this case, if you choose to join Sun Quan's camp, you will undoubtedly be treated preferentially.

The talents of your own master will also be fully utilized.

Once you join Sun Quan's camp, everyone's status will also reach a new level.

Just when everyone thought that Tang Jian would choose to agree without hesitation, Tang Jian smiled and leaned back.

"I'm sorry, Xingba."

"Let me refuse."

As soon as Tang Jian said this, everyone was stunned!

Fu Tong, who was sitting at the table, and dozens of captains all showed shocked expressions.

Expressed that they couldn't understand!

Fu Tong suddenly felt that he had heard it wrong, and then looked at Gan Ning and then at Tang Jian.

Then he asked:

"This..."

"Sir, why is this?"

"Now, the Marquis of Wu values ​​your talents, and General Xingba has guaranteed you. With such a good opportunity, why did you refuse?"

What Fu Tong said was everyone's question.

Of course, Lu Kuang was not included.

Gan Ning was also a little surprised, but he felt it was expected.

Then he smiled and shook his head to signal Fu Tong not to ask any more questions.

But since the question was asked, it proved that the generals had doubts in their hearts.

If he didn't make it clear, Tang Jian knew that this would dampen the enthusiasm of the generals in the future.

So, Tang Jian stood up and said:

"First of all, I want to thank Xingba again for recommending me to Marquis Wu."

"However, I have already planned my own business, and joining Marquis Wu is not only not in my plan, but will destroy my plan."

"To be honest, I have some ability and enough confidence. I will definitely establish my own foundation in the near future."

"And now that the business has been planned, how can I give up halfway?"

After listening to this, although the doubts of the people were dispelled, they still felt it was a pity.

After all, in the territory of Jiangdong, refusing Marquis Wu's recruitment.

Such an arrogant person, let alone not having seen it, everyone has never even heard of it!

However, today, my master really did such an arrogant thing!

Being accepted by Marquis Wu is the end of many people's lifelong efforts!

Even many elite figures with prominent family backgrounds and reputations are scrambling to reach the top.

But Tang Jian refused without even thinking about it.

How could everyone not be shocked?
