Chapter 101 Remnants of the Book of Reproduction
Looking at the thin secret letter, Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and looked at Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu smiled sweetly.
"The Yellow Turban thieves have retreated?"
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen asked thoughtlessly.
The smile on Mi Zhu's face faded slightly, showing a look of surprise, before hesitating for a moment, he nodded slowly.
"The news of the withdrawal of the Yellow Turban thieves was just sent by the spies outside the city, and even I only learned about it half an hour ago. How did Brother Bai know?"
Bai Xiaowen said flatly: "Two reasons. First, the Yellow Turban thieves lost two great doctors, the southern defense line collapsed, and their strength was greatly reduced, and our two sides have just completed their rendezvous, and their strength has greatly increased. Under the circumstances, the Yellow Turban thieves retreated. The meaning is also reasonable..."
Li Shuyi sat opposite Bai Xiaowen with a sullen face, not saying a word, but looking at Mi Zhu with a hint of sympathy. According to her experience, Bai Xiaowen should have turned on the cheating mode.
"What about the second reason?" Mi Zhu asked curiously.
"Second, I can see from the actions of Lord Mi that the current situation in Xuzhou City is delicate. Originally, as Lord Mi, it is not difficult to meet my master, so why do you have to write a secret letter and give it to me? Delivery by someone who is born?" Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "Obviously, my lord is a strong dragon who crossed the river, and his arrival touched the nerves of an old local snake!"
"The premise of infighting is that the external threat has disappeared, so I judge that the Yellow Turban thieves have retreated. Now even Master Mi, in order to avoid the attention of this old local snake, must be careful and spend a lot of money to send letters to me..."
Bai Xiaowen snorted and directly chose to reject Mi Zhu's mission "Secret Letter", then stood up and said in a cold voice, "Could it be that in the eyes of Master Mi, am I such a stupid villain who regards money as fate? You are using Money humiliates me!"
The words are generous and eloquent.
Mi Zhu sighed and said, "Just like what little brother Bai said. Tao Gongzu is incompetent, he has no ambition to help the world outside, and he has no plan to protect the world and the people. He is just an old local snake. Xuzhou is a battleground for the military. , If there is no strong and powerful dragon guarding it, 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: "Master Mi wants to take refuge with my lord."
"Yes," since Bai Xiaowen had seen it through, Mi Zhu no longer sold off his ties, and said cheerfully, "My Mi family is considered a rich man in Xuzhou, and I have a good relationship with Zang, Chen and other aristocratic families, and I have long been dissatisfied with Tao Gongzu. As long as Xuande With a nod, Xuzhou can change its flag overnight and become the foundation of Duke Xuande."
After a pause, Mi Zhu continued: "Little brother Bai, you already know about this matter now, and you should understand that it is of great importance. Please send this letter to Duke Xuande yourself. I would like to reward you with a great deal."
At this time, the spirit world prompt message sounded again.
"Step 1 of the side mission, the secret letter is opened. Mission difficulty: B."
"Mission objective: Deliver Mi Zhu's secret letter to Liu Bei."
"Quest reward: precision-cast gold ingots*10; remnants of the copied book."
[Residual pages of the copy book: B+ grade props, can copy other props (B grade or below), and become the exact same item as the target. 】
Mi Zhu originally planned to keep Bai Xiaowen from knowing the inside story and just act as an errand courier, so the quest reward was naturally much lower.
Now that Bai Xiaowen knows the inside story and belongs to a small partner who is doing business together, Mi Zhu can only improve his bargaining chip.
"Hey, this treasure of Lord Mi seems to be a little incomplete."
After seeing the properties of the copy book, Bai Xiaowen's eyes lit up first, and then he saw the word "remnant page" and the level limit of the copy item, which made him a little disappointed. Items of B-rank or lower are not of high value.
Mi Zhu said, "Brother Bai, as long as you actively contact the Mi family and Duke Xuande, and make meritorious deeds, you will be able to get more fragments, and if you put them together, you can get the complete treasure."
Bai Xiaowen secretly felt satisfied,
Nodding and smiling: "Since Mr. Mi has the heart to join my lord, then he is a family, and sending letters is a matter of his own. Like Mr. Mi's behavior of humiliating me with money before, I really look down on Bai... , how many fragments of pages can spell out a complete treasure?"
Mi Zhu: "Three copies."
Bai Xiaowen smiled, took the secret letter, and put it into the storage space. Li Shuyi was beside her, looking at Bai Xiaowen with almost adoring eyes.
After leaving the other courtyard, Li Shuyi finally couldn't help laughing: "Xiaowen, I really don't know how long it will take me to practice before my skin can reach your level."
Bai Xiaowen snorted: "Mi Zhu himself is not authentic, and wants to use me as a courier, of course I have to give him some color to see... Hehe, but this small counterattack has won a good quest reward. "
"When you refused to deliver the letter, I was really sweating. I didn't expect that the final mission was to deliver the letter, but an additional B+-level item was added to the mission reward... Xiaowen, I don't understand. so useful?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled, and then said seriously: "Every character in the spiritual world has their own thoughts and scheming, and they are very different from NPCs in traditional video games. The rules of the spiritual world will not interfere with the independent thinking of these characters, and It is from a fair point of view to generate tasks and rewards based on our interactions with the spirit world characters... So when accepting tasks, we must be more careful and try to find as many rewards as possible."
The two walked all the way to the camp where Liu Bei's army was stationed, and along the way, they were still discussing in a low voice the newly triggered historical plot-Three Ranging to Xuzhou.
"In Romance, Tao Qiansan asked Xuzhou to give Liu Bei, but he was not so willing," Bai Xiaowen analyzed, "at least the first two times, the meaning of temptation is more. Tao Qian is not a lonely old man. He has a pair of sons under his knees. Why not leave Xuzhou to the heirs, but to outsiders?"
"Who is he testing, Liu Bei?" Li Shuyi asked, "But if Liu Bei honestly and unceremoniously took over the Xuzhou badge, wouldn't Tao Qian sit on wax."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Tao Qian is not trying to test Liu Bei. He is very sure that Liu Bei will not accept the seal. You must know that Liu Bei has grown from a seller of straw sandals to today, relying on the golden signboard of the word benevolence and righteousness!"
"Anything that damages Liu Bei's reputation is tantamount to breaking his roots. You see, in Romance, Tao Qian let Xuzhou in the first two times, once when Cao Cao's army was on his side, and once when Cao Cao had just retreated... If Liu Bei took it Card seal, will inevitably lose a reputation of 'taking advantage of the fire', or at least 'receiving favors', right?"
"So, Tao Qian is testing his subordinates! Let's see who will support Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou!" 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's school
