Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 103 The West Market Encounter
The West Market is really a magical place, and Liu Yu met an acquaintance after visiting a few shops.

This person is exactly Wang Guanshi who bought the emerald horse in Cui Di's shop before.

When Liu Yu visited Situ's mansion yesterday, this steward Wang also served tea and water. I remember that Wang Yun introduced him as his distant nephew named Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai saw Liu Yu watching him on the opposite street, he hurried forward to meet him.

"The villain has seen King Zhongshan!"

"Okay, don't pray!" Liu Yu asked curiously when he saw a package on his back, "Did you find something precious for Mr. Situ?"

Manager Wang smiled awkwardly, and replied: "The villain is not here to buy things today, but to sell things!"

Wang Kai said that Situ Wangyun recruited more than half of the grain and grass from the Wang family's warehouse, but it was still not enough, so he arranged for him to come to the West City to find some connections.

Originally, Wang Kai remembered that there would be a grain transaction going on recently, but when he went to West Market to inquire, he found out that the mysterious rich businessman had actually postponed the transaction time.

Wang Kai had no choice but to take the rare calligraphy and paintings in Situ's mansion and go to some small and medium families to exchange some food for emergency.

Almost all the people who can afford to open shops in the West Market are well-known people in Luoyang City, and these people will more or less have food in their homes.

It's just that Wang Kai asked them to exchange food, and the price must be higher than that offered by the mysterious rich businessman.

Wang Kai's ability is not strong and he doesn't have many city mansions, so he only works as a steward in Situ's mansion. Such a person Liu Yu can tell the truth of his words at a glance.

"Wang Yun actually arranged for the steward of the mansion to come to Xishi City to exchange food. It seems that Yang Xiu and Huangfusong are right. Situ Wang Yun may not be behind the mysterious rich merchant."

But a new problem came up again. If Wang Yun was not responsible for the food shortage in Luoyang, then who had the ability to make such a big noise under Dong Zhuo's eyes?

Too many questions made Liu Yu feel a little dizzy, and he was no longer in the mood to go shopping.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was attracted by the noise of arguing in the nearby shop.

"Your kitten is so cute, can you sell it to me?"

"I'm sorry, Princess, but this Persian cat cannot be sold to you!"

"Since you know that I am the princess, are you still afraid that I will rob your pet and not give you money?"

The Persian cat is an alien species from the Western Regions, and the people who can raise this kind of pet are definitely either rich or expensive.

But this person seemed very unwilling to offend the beauty in front of him, and even called her the princess. It seemed that the identity of this beauty was even more prominent.

Sure enough, as soon as the little beauty finished speaking, her subordinates went forward to snatch it for her. At this time, the scribe who was about to sell the Persian cat to the store showed a little annoyed mood.

"This cat is in exchange for food for armaments, and I hope the princess will look at our Xun family's name and hold her hands high!"

The scribe's shout caught Liu Yu's attention, so he turned his head and looked into the shop.

I saw the scribe walking out of the shop with the pet in his hand, followed by a few strong men in heavy clothes.

Claiming to be from the Xun family, could it be a member of Xun Shuang's clan?

Xun Shuang and Wang Yun got the pocket watch and the Qiankun mirror respectively, so naturally they have to shoulder the responsibility of raising military information.

It's just that neither of them wanted to use up the food stored at home, so Wang Yun sent Wang Kai to Xishi to exchange food, and the scribe in front of him should be sent by Xun Shuang.

Liu Yu asked curiously, "Does Steward Wang recognize this person?"

Wang Kai didn't dare to hesitate and replied: "This person is Xun Wenruo, the nephew of Master Sikong, who is currently serving as the palace guard! He must also be here to raise food for the family!"

"What! He is Xun Yu?" Liu Yu couldn't believe his ears.

Xun Yu is a well-known figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms. He was praised for his talent as Wang Zuo when he was young. Later, he served Cao Cao and was reused. He was often called my son-in-law by Cao Cao.

According to the historical process, Xun Yu should have taken his family to Jizhou to take refuge when the eighteenth princes besieged Luoyang. It was only because Liu Yu blocked the army of the princes from Hulao Pass that there was no incident of burning Luoyang, so the fate of many people was very different. Then changed.

"Ding, Xun Yu's command is 72, force is 65, resourcefulness is 96, mind is 97, and friendship is 0."

If the mental skill exceeds 95, one can endow the characters with five elements attributes by completing system tasks. In addition, Xun Yu's resourcefulness is also super high. He is simply a generalist military adviser and internal affairs.

Just now Wang Kai introduced that Xun Yu is now the official guardian of the palace.

The Shougong Ling belongs to the subordinate of the Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers, and is in charge of the imperial stationery, Shangshutai property, etc., and is a small official with no real power.

This shows that Xun Yu has no ambitions in Luoyang, and this is the best time to make friends with him. Maybe a few drinks will make him an irresistible friend.

Just as Liu Yu was thinking about how to take advantage of this coincidence, he heard a woman's voice coming from the shop.

"Don't run away, leave the kitten to me!"

Following the voice, a petite beauty rushed over angrily, and at this moment, several of her subordinates also surrounded Xun Yu in the middle.

Although the little beauty is not tall, she has a well-proportioned figure and her small face is even more beautiful.

"Who is this woman, Guanshi Wang?" Liu Yu asked curiously again.

Wang Kai covered his mouth with his hands, and replied very cautiously: "She is Grand Master Dong's granddaughter, Dong Bai, Princess of Weiyang!"

"Ding, Dong Bai, resourcefulness 71, charm 94, intimacy 0."

Dong Zhuo had only one son, but it was a pity that he died in Xiliang at a young age, and he only left Dong's family a baby girl before his death.

Although she is a granddaughter, Dong Zhuo has always regarded her as the apple of his eye, even more than his own daughter.

When Dong Zhuo took control of the court with his troops, the first thing he did was to use his power to give his granddaughter the title of Princess Weiyang.It can be seen how much he loves Dong Bai.

It is rumored that if you marry Dong Bai, you can become Dong Zhuo's successor.

Liu Yu didn't want to be Dong Zhuo's successor, he was only interested in recruiting Xun Yu.

The current situation where Xun Yu was being surrounded by several burly men provided Liu Yu with a great opportunity to make friends with him.

Xun Yu was a literati who was not strong enough, so it would be impossible to force his way out of the encirclement. At this time, he saw a few officials patrolling the street opposite him, so he thought about it.

"Is the princess really going to rob others in the street? Aren't you afraid of discrediting Grand Master Dong?"

Xun Yu purposely yelled to attract the officials who were patrolling the street not far away, but those officials were all extremely slippery and walked away as if they hadn't heard.

"Hmph, whoever said I was going to rob him, I said I would give you money, but my grandpa's face seems to be very dark, and he won't blame me for causing trouble for him, so I still advise you to hold your hand." Hand over the cat on the bed!" Dong Bai's face value is super high, even when pouting his mouth is angry, he is very cute.

It's just that the upset Xun Yu is not in the mood to appreciate these things. He has determined to serve the court since he was a child, and he has long been dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's actions. Today, he was even more annoyed when Dong Bai stopped him in the street.

I thought that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and even his granddaughter bullied others, and robbed other people's things in the street at will, but no one dared to stop them. This Han court is really hopeless.

Instead of staying in the capital as a useless loose official, it is better to go to the local area to serve the princes.
