A civil official from Xiangping City came to welcome him and expressed Gongsun Du's intentions.
"Provincial Governor, Gongsun Du and his son want you to go to the banquet alone without any soldiers. This is too dangerous," Yan Rou said softly.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm the Provincial Governor of Youzhou. Liaodong is also under Youzhou's rule. Even if I'm alone, where can I not go?"
He then looked at the civil official and said, "Is it okay if I bring a follower?"
The civil official hurriedly said, "Of course."
During the Three Kingdoms era, even if someone of status went to a banquet alone, they would bring a few followers with them. For example, when Guan Yu went to Dong Yue Wu's Banquet at Hongmen, he brought Zhou Cang with him. Later generations still praised him for going to the banquet alone.
Yan Rou originally thought that Bai Xiaowen was going to call him, but Bai Xiaowen didn't look at him. Instead, he pointed at the black-robed woman behind him and said, "You come with me."
The black-robed woman agreed and lifted the hood on her head.
The surrounding crowd gasped. This woman's hair and eyes were very strange. She didn't look like someone from the Central Plains.
"Provincial Governor, this is …" Yan Rou was puzzled.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "This is the Japanese Raven Girl. She was subdued by a Taoist master and is now my personal guard. With her around, I'll be safe. "
This black-robed woman was Delifa. She was summoned by Bai Xiaowen in advance and had been following the army.
Bai Xiaowen summoned Delifa for a reason.
Bai Xiaowen's identity was Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family. He wasn't a nobody.
Therefore, if Bai Xiaowen wanted to be useful in the upcoming battle, he had to reveal his strength. If he was a nobody, he could ask a Mutant to teach him his summoning skills. However, as the second son of the Yuan family, he couldn't be fooled like this.
To put it bluntly, Yuan Xi was surrounded by many servants and attendants when she was still in diapers. Wherever she went, there would be people following her. How could she have the opportunity to be taught special techniques by a dissimilated person?
If Bai Xiaowen did not hesitate to use this method, it was possible that the Yuan family would have doubts because of the strangeness of the summoning technique.
This question was not because they suspected that Bai Xiaowen had been replaced by someone from another world, because the natives of the Three Kingdoms basically did not know anything about this world (except for a few people). At most, they wondered when the second young master had met a Taoist master and learned this skill.
It was better to be cautious.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen summoned Delifa in advance and asked Delifa, the Japanese Raven Girl, to complete all the summoning spells — at least in the early stages.
After the natives of the Three Kingdoms got used to it, Bai Xiaowen could show other combat techniques such as the Cold Winter Wand, the Talisman, the Kusanagi Sect Martial Arts, and so on. Then, he could pretend that he was taught by a Taoist master who had subdued the Japanese Raven Girl.
Before leaving, Bai Xiaowen looked at Yan Rou and said with a smile, "General Yan, don't forget about our agreement."
Yan Rou's scalp went numb, but at this time, he could only cup his hands and say, "I won't disappoint the Provincial Governor."
…
Xiangping City, Marquis of Liaodong's residence.
Gongsun Du held a banquet to entertain the second son of the Yuan family.
Gongsun Du sat in the main seat while Bai Xiaowen sat in the guest seat. He first used Insight to scan Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du was a strength-type general, but he wasn't very strong. As a Level 9 leader, his strength was only 75 points. However, it was worth mentioning that Gongsun Du had a special passive skill, Liao Dong Master, which gave him an extra 400 HP!
In addition, the high-level leader's general skills were also Level 3, and it gave Gongsun Du an extra 500 HP. Together with his original 600 HP, Gongsun Du's total HP reached 1,500! He was not much weaker than the average strength-type leader.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. Could this be a special skill that all the leaders of the factions in the later stages of the Three Kingdoms had, increasing extra HP? He didn't see such a skill on Yan Rou and the other generals.
Although Gongsun Du had submitted to Yuan Shao, he was still a warlord. The four counties of Liaodong were his backyard.
However, he only had 400 more HP than expected. It didn't affect Bai Xiaowen's plan.
The guests and the host exchanged some pleasantries before the dishes were served. There was singing and dancing to liven things up.
During the meal, Gongsun Du asked, "Young master, why are you here?"
Bai Xiaowen didn't drink and said calmly, "I'm here for the four counties of Liaodong."
Gongsun Du's face changed slightly. He frowned and said, "I don't understand what Young Master Bai means."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The four counties of Liaodong are also under Youzhou. Why haven't you handed over a single grain in the past two years? You're the governor of Liaodong, aren't you a bit incompetent? "
Gongsun Du was shocked and angry. He didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to directly ask for the grain without hinting. Moreover, from his words, he didn't show any respect to the self-proclaimed Marquis of Liaodong.
In his anger, Gongsun Du said, "Young master Yuan, you're wrong! The four counties of Liaodong are my foundation. It has nothing to do with the general. If young master wants to swallow the four counties of Liaodong, it depends on whether you have such a good appetite! "
With a clang, Gongsun Du angrily threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground.
"Throwing the cup as a signal?" Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head. This method was a bit old.
With a burst of shouting, three hundred axemen rushed out from behind the tent.
Gongsun Du ordered, "Capture Yuan Xi alive!" Although he was shocked and angry, he still had some rationality in his heart.
Bai Xiaowen coughed softly, and suddenly a strong pressure spread out! Of the three hundred axemen, only a dozen were elites. The rest were ordinary models. How could they withstand the pressure of "Deterrence"? They fell to the ground in disorder, and most of them were unconscious.
Even Gongsun Du was affected by the effect of Deterrence, and his body stiffened.
Delifa suddenly took off his black robe and raised his hand. In fact, Bai Xiaowen used Return of the Dead to summon an army of creatures.
Horses neighed, and the Death Knight led three Terror Knights to charge, and their target was Gongsun Du!
Ten Undead Archers followed and fired a round of volley.
The moment before the volley hit, the Butcher fell from the sky and landed behind Gongsun Du, blocking his way. With a buzz, poison gas was activated and reduced Gongsun Du's resistance.
A string of arrows rained down, and Gongsun Du's HP dropped by 200 points. He invited Yuan Xi to a banquet, but he didn't wear any armor or ride a warhorse!
This round of volley and the Butcher's poison also woke Gongsun Du from his Paralyzed (Fear) state. But before he could do anything, the Death Knight's Charge hit him. A lance pierced through him, and at the same time, three greatswords were swung at him.
After being repelled by the Charge and being controlled for another round, the Undead Archers followed up with a second volley.
He had lost 600 HP from the start of the fight!
In a hurry, Gongsun Du could only draw his sword from his waist and slash. His heart was filled with fear, and he shouted loudly, "Men! Men! "
