Looking at the thin secret letter, Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and looked at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu smiled.

"The Yellow Turban Thieves have withdrawn?"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen asked thoughtlessly.

The smile on Mi Zhu's face narrowed slightly, revealing a look of surprise, and he hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

"The news of the Yellow Turban Thief's withdrawal from the army was just sent by a secret agent outside the city, and even I only learned about it half an hour ago. How did Little Brother Bai know?"

Bai Xiaowen said flatly: "Two reasons. First, the Yellow Turban Thieves lost two great doctors, the southern defense line collapsed, and the strength was greatly damaged, while our two sides had just completed the rendezvous and increased their strength greatly. Under the advantages of one and the other, it is reasonable for the Yellow Turban Thief to retreat......"

Li Shuyi sat opposite Bai Xiaowen with a strained face, not saying a word, but there was a trace of sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Mi Zhu. According to her experience, Bai Xiaowen should have turned on the flicker mode.

"And what about the second reason?" Mi Zhu asked curiously.

"Second, I can see from Lord Mi's actions that the current situation in Xuzhou City is delicate. Originally, with the status of Lord Mi, it is not difficult to see my lord, why do you still write a secret letter and hand it over to me, a person with eyes, to deliver?" Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "Obviously, my lord is a strong dragon crossing the river, and his arrival has touched the nerves of a certain old land snake!"

"The premise of the infighting is that the external threat has disappeared, so I judge that the Yellow Turban Thieves have withdrawn. Now, even Lord Mi, in order to avoid the attention of this old snake, must be careful, and do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find me to deliver a letter......"

Bai Xiaowen snorted, and directly chose to refuse Mi Zhu's task "Secret Letter", and then stood up and said coldly: "Could it be that in the eyes of Mi Daren, am I such a stupid villain who regards money as his life? You are humiliating me with money!"

The words are generous and loud.

Mi Zhu sighed and said, "It's just as Little Brother Bai said. Tao Gongzu is mediocre and incompetent, has no ambition to help the world outside, and has no strategy to protect the territory and the people, he is just an old snake. Xuzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, if there is no strong dragon with great talent to guard, I am afraid that sooner or later it will fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves, and it will no longer be the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

Bai Xiaowen coughed: "Lord Mi wants to take refuge in my father-in-law." ”

"Yes," since Bai Xiaowen had seen through it, Mi Zhu no longer sold Guanzi, and said happily, "My Mi family is also rich in Xuzhou, and I am good friends with Zang, Chen and other families, and I have long been dissatisfied with Tao Gongzu. As long as Xuande Gong nods, Xuzhou can change its flag overnight and become the foundation of Xuande Gong. ”

After a pause, Mi Zhu continued: "Little Brother Bai, you know about this matter now, and you should understand that the stakes are very high. This letter, please send it to Xuande Gong with your own hands, and I would like to thank you with a heavy treasure. ”

At this moment, the spirit world prompt message sounded again.

"Side quest 1 step, MeSign opens. Difficulty: B. ”

"Mission Objective: Give Mi Zhu's secret letter to Liu Bei. ”

"Reward: Finely Cast Gold Bar x10, Copy Book Fragment. ”

[Fragment of the Copy Book: B+-rank item, which can be copied from other items (B-rank or below) to become an item that is exactly the same as the target.] 】

Mi Zhu originally planned not to let Bai Xiaowen know the inside story, and only acted as an errand courier, and the task reward was naturally much lower.

Now that Bai Xiaowen knows the inside story and belongs to the friends who work together in the business, Mi Zhu can only increase his bargaining chips.

"Hey, this treasure of Lord Mi seems to be a little incomplete. ”

After seeing the attributes of the copy book, Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up first, and then he saw the word "fragment page" and the level limit of the copy props, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Items that are Grade B or below are not of much value.

Mi Zhu said: "Little Brother Bai, as long as you actively contact the Mi family and Xuande Gong, and after making meritorious deeds, you can get more fragments, and you can get complete treasures by putting them together." ”

Bai Xiaowen secretly felt satisfied in his heart, nodded and smiled: "Since Lord Mi has the heart to join my father-in-law, it is a family, and sending letters is a matter of duty." Like the previous behavior of Lord Mi humiliating me with money, he really looked down on Bai...... Hmm, how many fragments can be used to put together a complete treasure?"

Mi Zhu: "Three copies." ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled, took the secret letter, and put it in the storage space. Li Shuyi was beside her, looking at Bai Xiaowen with almost adoring eyes.

Out of the courtyard, Li Shuyi finally couldn't help laughing: "Xiaowen, I really don't know how long it will take to practice before my cheekiness can reach your level." ”

Bai Xiaowen cut off: "Mi Zhu is not authentic in doing things by himself, and if he wants to use me as a courier, of course I have to give him some color...... Hehe, but this small counterattack won a good mission reward. ”

"I was really sweating when you refused to deliver the letter. Unexpectedly, the last task was to deliver a letter, but the task reward added an additional B+-level prop...... Xiaowen, I don't understand, is the mouth cannon really so useful?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled, and then said seriously: "Every spirit world character has his own thoughts and scheming, and they are very different from the NPCs in traditional video games. Nor do the rules of the spirit world interfere with the independent thinking of these characters, but rather from a fair point of view, tasks and rewards are generated based on our interactions with spirit figures...... So be more mindful when taking on tasks and try to dig up as many rewards as possible. ”

The two walked all the way to Liu Beijun's camp, and along the way they were still discussing in a low voice the newly triggered historical plot - Sanrang Xuzhou.

"In the romance, Tao Qiansan asked Xuzhou to give Liu Bei, but he was not so willing," Bai Xiaowen analyzed, "At least the first two concessions, the meaning of temptation is more." Tao Qian is not a lonely old man, he has a pair of sons under his knees, why don't he leave Xuzhou to his heirs, but to outsiders?"

"Who is he tempting, Liu Bei?" Li Shuyi asked, "But if Liu Bei honestly and unceremoniously took the Xuzhou seal, wouldn't he let Tao Qian sit on wax." ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Of course Tao Qian is not testing Liu Bei, he is very sure that Liu Bei will not take the card seal." You must know that Liu Bei has developed from a vendor selling straw shoes to today, relying on the golden signboard of the word benevolence and righteousness!"

"Anything that damages Liu Bei's reputation is tantamount to cutting off his roots. You see, in the romance, Tao Qian let Xuzhou twice before, once when Cao Cao's army was on the side, and once when Cao Cao had just withdrawn...... If Liu Bei takes over the card seal, he will inevitably lose the reputation of 'robbing while the fire is hot', at least it will be 'blackmailing favors', right?"

"So, Tao Qian is testing his subordinates! Look at who supports Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou!"
