"There's no need for silver, but I need your help with something."
Bai Feng downed the wine in his cup and smiled.
When Cao Chun and Li Kui heard Bai Feng's words, they were shocked, but they soon relaxed. As long as Bai Feng was willing to make a request, Li Kui's life would be saved.
He hurriedly said, "What does Sir need this general's help with?"
"Take me to see Jiang Gan."
Bai Feng stroked his chin and said indifferently.
Although he had told the Prime Minister that Jiang Gan was not very useful, during the discussion between the Ministers, the civil officials recommended him. Furthermore, Bai Feng was not willing to train the navy, so Jiang Gan was chosen.
Rather than saying that she was unwilling, it was more accurate to say that Bai Feng simply did not have the time. Currently, there were too many things that she needed to do. Furthermore, Jiang Gan was an old friend of Zhou Yu and had many followers in River East.
However, Jiang Gan rejoiced in grandiose achievements and was short-sighted. If Jiang Gan had not fallen for Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's trick, Cao Cao would not have been defeated so quickly.
Although Jiang Gan was not very good, the resources in his hands could be used.
At present, Bai Feng knew very little about Dong Yue Wu and had no way of infiltrating it. Even if Da Qiao trusted him, his plan would not be easy to implement.
But if he went to see Jiang Gan, Jiang Gan would not believe him.
However, Cao Chun knew Jiang Gan and had a good relationship with him. When he had recommended Jiang Gan, Cao Chun had also said a few words. Bai Feng knew this.
With Cao Chun's recommendation, it would at least eliminate some of Jiang Gan's guard against him.
"Oh? General wants to see General Jiang? "
Cao Chun was stunned when he heard this. Jiang Gan was a surrendered general of Jing Province, and he had practically never met Bai Feng before. Why did he suddenly want to see him?
"That's right. I have some questions to ask him about the expedition to Jiangdong. However, the two of us have never interacted before. If I were to meet him rashly, I would definitely arouse suspicion. General Cao has always been on good terms with him, so I need you to introduce me."
Cao Chun immediately understood. He laughed and said,
"This is simple. Do you know why I have a good relationship with General Jiang?"
This question stumped Bai Feng. He shook his head slightly.
Cao Chun nudged Li Kui with his arm. Li Kui quickly cupped his hands and said,
"Sir, you may not know this, but I am General Jiang's nephew. Since you are willing to help me, I will do my best to recommend you!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng was rather surprised.
This was definitely a good thing.
At this time, it was Li Kui who was begging him, not Cao Chun. He didn't expect Li Kui to be Jiang Gan's nephew. In order to save his nephew, his request was naturally simple.
"Okay, then ask General Jiang to come to my mansion tomorrow. After this matter is settled, don't worry. I will keep your previous crimes a secret."
Bai Feng said with a faint smile.
This time, Li Kui's hanging heart finally settled back into his stomach.
However, to Li Kui's surprise, Jiang Gan had already arrived at Bai Feng's mansion.
"Excuse me, how long will it take for Mr. Bai to come back from this trip?"
Jiang Gan touched his mustache and asked Bai Feng's maid anxiously.
"Sir, I really don't know."
The maid shook her head and said.
Seeing this, Jiang Gan suddenly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He kept pacing back and forth at the door.
"Sir is back?"
Just as Jiang Gan was about to go crazy from waiting, the maid suddenly shouted. Jiang Gan's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly looked not far away.
At this time, Bai Feng had just returned with Li Yuanba. He planned to go home and figure out how to distribute the remaining 6,000 attribute points and how to negotiate with Jiang Gan tomorrow.
Suddenly, a person rushed toward him. "Are you Mr. Bai Bai Feng?"
Bai Feng was stunned and began to size this person up.
This guy looked extremely wretched. He had a mustache and was as thin as a match. However, his clothes were extremely luxurious. He didn't look like a poor person who couldn't afford to eat.
"You are …"
As soon as Bai Feng opened his mouth, Jiang Gan hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"I am Jiang Gan. Greetings, Mr. Bai!"
What a guy!
Bai Feng was stunned.
Was Li Kui so efficient? He actually let Jiang Gan pay him a visit?
Although the restaurant was some distance away from his house, he and Li Yuanba had hurried back. Li Kui, who was limping, probably hadn't reached Jiang Gan's residence yet, right?
"General Jiang? You are … "
Before Bai Feng could react, Jiang Gan hurriedly called behind him. A few people carried a heavy box into Bai Feng's residence.
"Sir, may I have a word with you?"
Looking at the smiling Jiang Gan, Bai Feng suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Why did this scene look so familiar?
"What brings Mr. Jiang to my residence this time?"
Bai Feng glanced at the box that a few people had just carried in and asked Li Yuanba to open it.
Li Yuanba received the order and easily lifted the heavy lid of the wooden box.
The shining silver instantly entered Bai Feng's eyes.
Jiang Gan suddenly bent down and cupped his hands.
"My disappointing nephew has angered Sir. I hope Sir will forgive him. These thirty thousand taels of silver are a gift to Sir. I hope Sir will be magnanimous enough to forgive him."
Bai Feng immediately understood that Jiang Gan had come to plead for Li Kui!
Ever since Jiang Gan found out that Li Kui had angered Bai Feng, Cao Cao's favorite person, he was so anxious that he couldn't even eat. He hurriedly ordered people to prepare money and rushed to Bai Feng's residence.
Although Li Kui was disappointing, Jiang Gan's wife doted on her younger brother very much. Jiang Gan was afraid of his wife, so he took extra care of Li Kui.
Who knew that Bai Feng would go to Da Qiao's residence. He waited for an entire day. Now that the sun was about to set, Bai Feng finally came.
Bai Feng was quite happy. Didn't he deliver himself to his doorstep?
However, Bai Feng still said calmly:
"Sir Jiang, I've never liked money. You should take these back."
Jiang Gan's expression changed greatly when he heard this. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Who wouldn't accept money? If he didn't accept the money, then it would be difficult to settle the matter!
Bai Feng didn't keep Jiang Gan hanging. He raised his eyebrows and said:
"However, I do have something that I need General Jiang's help with. If you can do it well, then today's matter will be written off."
"Sir, the matter you're talking about is …"
Jiang Gan saw that there was still a chance and couldn't help but be secretly happy. However, he was still quite worried.
Problems that could be solved with money were not problems. However, helping someone with a task was much more difficult than problems that could be solved with money.
"General Jiang has been in Jingzhou for many years and is an old friend of Zhou Yu. I presume that you have many hangers-on and spies in Jiangdong."
Bai Feng rubbed his chin and didn't beat around the bush.
This time, Jiang Gan's heart was in his throat. He stammered:
"How did Sir know about this?"
Bai Feng said with a smile:
"Previously, when the Prime Minister asked me who was going to train the navy, I mentioned it."
Only then did Jiang Gan breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly slapped himself in his heart.
