Li Shuyi asked, "Then what should we do about this historical plot? Are you going to support Liu Bei and make the show real and occupy Xu Province? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "The plot of giving up Xuzhou three times takes too long. Not all the rich families in Xuzhou support Liu Bei. Tao Qian has been in business for a long time. Even if he doesn't have much ability, he should have a group of followers. Mi Zhu's careful delivery of the letter is proof of this. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian had to give up Xuzhou for the sake of his descendants before he died. How can we wait for him to die? We should take advantage of these few days to gain some benefits and find some missions with good rewards. "
When they arrived at the posthouse where Liu Bei's army was stationed, Bai Xiaowen quickly met with Liu Bei.
After handing over the spoils of war from the southern front — five elite Yellow Turban Army tokens — Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spirit Realm.
[Your reputation in Liu Bei's army has increased.]
[Your position in Liu Bei's army has been promoted. You are now in charge of the Fang Gate.]
Liu Bei's army was small, so he was promoted quickly. Even Li Shuyi was promoted to captain.
Bai Xiaowen presented Mi Zhu's secret letter and briefly explained Mi Zhu's request.
Just as Bai Xiaowen expected, Liu Bei stamped his feet and sighed after reading Mi Zhu's letter. "Zizhong, you've misled me! Are you trying to make me a heartless and unjust person? "
Bai Xiaowen tried to persuade him. "Milord is a member of the Han Dynasty and has elite soldiers under his command. The only thing he lacks is a foundation. Tao Qian is too weak to guard Xuzhou. Why don't you let Milord take over? This way, he can bring order to the country and protect the people. "
If Bai Xiaowen was just a courier, Liu Bei definitely wouldn't have discussed the matter of Xuzhou with him. Otherwise, wouldn't he be setting Mi Zhu up? But now that Bai Xiaowen knew the inside story, his words weren't too abrupt. This was the benefit of digging into the plot. He could deeply participate in the historical plot.
Liu Bei was enraged, "Why do you say that? My way of life is based on faith and righteousness. You may not know this, but when I met with Prefect Tao just now, Prefect Tao, and Prefect Tao offered me the Xuzhou City Tablet Seal right in front of my face. I firmly refused to accept it, and I definitely wouldn't do something like seizing it. "
Bai Xiaowen pretended to be terrified. "Milord, your benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled. I have been rude."
Liu Bei's expression changed very quickly. He immediately regained his gentle smile and advised, "You should use your skills for the right path. Although the Yellow Turban Bandits have retreated, they may come back at any time. The threat is still there. We must be careful. "
Bai Xiaowen bowed and said, "My lord, wherever the Yellow Turban bandits go, it is like a swarm of locusts passing through, the people are plunged into misery and suffering. If they were allowed to escape to Qingzhou and Yan Zhou, who knew how many people would suffer. This general believes that we should send elite troops to cut off the Yellow Turban bandits' path of return. "
Liu Bei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "You are right. I will carefully consider this matter. First, help me send this letter to Mi Zizhong. Advise him to restrain his thoughts and not act rashly. "
Liu Bei immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to Bai Xiaowen.
Notification:
"Side Mission 1: Secret Letter completed."
Bai Xiaowen brought Liu Bei's letter with him and paid a visit to Mi Zhu. Along the way, Bai Xiaowen scanned with his mind and vaguely discovered that there were people secretly following them. They were most likely spies under Governor Tao Qian's residence.
"The situation is a bit tense. Even two unfamiliar people like us are being followed," Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice. "There is not much profit to be gained from doing these errands. I plan to do something big again, and then I'll leave. "
Li Shuyi nodded. She was a bit nervous and excited at the same time.
After all, Tao Qian's army and Liu Bei's army hadn't completely fallen out. Although they sent people to follow them, they wouldn't commit murder in public and assassinate Liu Bei's men. Furthermore, Bai Xiaowen's position wasn't high, so they didn't send too many people to follow them.
Bai Xiaowen took a few detours to get rid of the spies. He quietly entered the Mi Residence through the small door in the backyard and met with Mi Zhu again.
"General Bai is truly trustworthy."
After his promotion, Mi Zhu changed the way he addressed Bai Xiaowen. He was promoted from 'Little Brother' to 'General'. A notification came from the spirit realm.
"You received 10 Refined Gold Ingots."
"You received 1 Remnant Page of the Book of Duplication."
Bai Xiaowen whispered, "Lord Mi, Milord isn't willing to take over Xu Province. I advise you to be careful. This is Milord's reply. "
After reading the reply, Mi Zhu sighed, "Lord Xuande is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. He already has the intention to leave. But the people of Xu Province are in a place of war. What should they do? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Lord Mi, don't worry. As long as the bandits of Xu Province still exist, Milord can't leave to protect the people."
Mi Zhu said, "But the Yellow Turban Bandits have already retreated and will soon enter Qing Province. At that time, Tao Gongzu won't be a threat and won't ask Lord Xuande to stay. "
"Lord Mi, what if the Yellow Turban Bandits can't return to Qing Province?" Bai Xiaowen whispered.
Mi Zhu's expression changed slightly.
Bai Xiaowen recalled the military map he saw in Liu Bei's tent. "If the Yellow Turban Bandits want to go north, they have to cross the Yellow River. Le 'an Ferry is their only escape route. If a group of elite soldiers suddenly attack Le 'an Ferry and destroy the ferry and set the boats on fire … how will they escape? "
Mi Zhu frowned and thought for a long time. "Le 'an Ferry is the throat of the Yellow Turban Bandits. It won't be easy to take it down. Moreover, Lord Xuande … might not be willing to do this with great fanfare. Guan, Zhang, and the other generals won't be so easily dispatched. "
Bai Xiaowen said proudly, "Why would we need a fierce general to do this? I'll go back and report to Milord that I'm willing to lead a small group of elite soldiers to attack Le 'an! "
Mi Zhu said cheerfully, "It's great that General Bai is willing to go. If it's successful, I'll reward you handsomely. "
[Side Mission 2: Attack Le 'an begins.]
[Mission Objective: Destroy the basic facilities of Le 'an Ferry and set the boats on fire.]
[Mission Time Limit: 3 days.]
[Mission Difficulty: S]
[Mission Reward: Two remnant pages of the Book of Duplication, 50 refined gold ingots (Mi Zhu), unknown reward (Liu Bei).]
Bai Xiaowen's expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. He had indeed wanted to do something big, but this business was so big that it was still a little unexpected — it was an S-rank mission! It was even harder than Bai Xiaowen's Class Change Mission!
Bai Xiaowen was now a level 2 Awakened. His strength had skyrocketed. However, the difficulty of the Spirit Realm mission was based on the level of the successor. This mission to attack Le 'an was extremely difficult for a level 2 Awakened. The slightest mistake could cost him his life.
