Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 257 Zhang Sui's Purpose for Making the Eight Immortals Table and Stools

But this look made Zhang Sui feel that Li Ru could be used.

The "Tao Te Ching" mentioned: Great straightness seems like bending, great cleverness seems like clumsiness, great eloquence seems like silence.

Truly smart people, on the contrary, like to use their physical disadvantages to cover up their own brilliance.

Just like Han Xin, outsiders thought he was a coward, even butchers thought he was easy to bully, but he was able to become a great general.

Another example is the assassin Zhuan Zhu, who was just a cook in the eyes of outsiders, but was able to successfully assassinate Wang Liao.

The assassin Qin Wuyang was famous throughout the world, but he was the one who killed Jing Ke.

This Li Ru, at least, was not as people said two thousand years later: just a scholar.

We can chat on the way.

Even though he said this, Zhang Sui still came to Li Ru, bowed respectfully and said, "I am here to inform the military advisor that the general will personally come to the military camp to select the troops and generals at noon tomorrow, and then the army will set out. Military advisor, please don't be late."

After saying that, Zhang Sui turned and left.

Li Ru thanked him and watched Zhang Sui leave quietly.

A burly man beside him came up and said, "I feel like I'm being looked down upon."

Li Ru watched Zhang Sui disappear from his sight on his horse, then he turned around, looked at the strong man and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, although you have been on the battlefield for decades and have won every battle, you are still a little bit lacking in judging people."

The sturdy man looked suspiciously in the direction where Zhang Sui left.

As Li Ru walked in, he said, "He didn't even want to say a word to me. He looked extremely arrogant."

"But think about it again. He was appointed as the temporary governor and commander of an army this time, but he was willing to come in person to inform me about the expedition tomorrow."

“Isn’t this contradictory?”

"If he really despises me, he should just ignore me and at most send his soldiers here."

Li Ru sighed and said, "I originally thought that you and I had chosen the wrong person when we joined Yuan Benchu. I was even planning to fake my death and escape."

"Now it seems that we might as well take another look."

"Zhang Bocheng, the person standing behind you is the deputy driver."

"It's possible that the other driver wants to spare our lives."

The strong man looked up at the sky and said unwillingly: "I never thought that after Dong Zhuo's death, we would end up like this!"

Li Ru smiled and said, "I told you long ago that it would be a good thing if you didn't go to Beijing."

"After entering the capital, he seemed to be in the limelight, but he was actually heading towards destruction step by step."

"You all think that the Yuan family is a top family that truly serves the country and the people."

"That's because you are military commanders after all."

"Let you lead the troops to fight, no problem."

"You insist on getting involved in the court dispute."

"You were played to death by the Yuan family."

"The only one among you who can show off in the court is Jia Wenhe."

"But this person is very cunning and treacherous. He is not on the same path as you guys."

"It's no wonder you're in such trouble."

The sturdy man lowered his head and said, "Is this how our lives will end?"

Li Ru stopped and looked at the burly man.

After a while, he said, "I thought so at first."

"But now it seems that there is still hope."

The sturdy man raised his head and looked at Li Ru suspiciously.

Li Ru glanced in the direction of the gate and said, "On this road, let's see what kind of person this Zhang Bocheng is."

"If that doesn't work, we'll fake our own death and escape."

"If it works, we may have a chance to achieve great success."

"Is this, perhaps, what is called 'finding a way out of a desperate situation'?"

The sturdy man looked at Li Ru and was about to continue asking questions.

He didn't understand why Li Ru said that.

The man just now, although he was only the temporary governor, was quite capable.

However, he really couldn't believe that such a young man could save people like him?
But Li Ru was unwilling to speak again.

Although the strong man was unwilling, he had to stop and not follow.

At present, his identity is just Li Ru’s guard captain.

Although Li Ru often called him "Brother Rong".

However, he knew that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Every title people use now is not a sign of respect for one's status, but is probably just a title. After Zhang Sui left Li Ru's mansion, he went straight back to his own residence.

We are setting out for battle tomorrow.

He will rest early today.

It will take a long time to go there and come back.

Accomplishing something great may seem exciting.

However, Zhang Sui, who had gone on several expeditions, knew that this was really boring as hell.

There were a bunch of big men on the road, all of them smelled bad.

The speech is also extremely vulgar.

All Zhang Sui could feel was the word "steel".

There is nothing "soft" about it.

A person's life should be a harmony of yin and yang!

However, a military career doesn’t involve that much consideration.

He wanted to experience the softness before going out.

When they returned home, Hongyu and Cai Wenji were still busy in the tailoring room.

Zhang Sui hurried forward, sat down with them and chatted, watching them busy.

Looking at the two women and several maids kneeling in front of the wooden board, busy and talking, Zhang Sui suddenly thought of something.

This kind of life is all out in the open.

He wants to change.

After chatting with the girls for a while, Zhang Sui immediately took out yellow paper and drew a picture.

What picture?

A square table with eight seats.

When he was a child, he grew up in the countryside, and every household had such a table.

Four benches.

In the late Han Dynasty, these things did not exist.

The Eight Immortals Table first appeared during the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

There are still hundreds of years to go.

Now he has to make them in advance.

In addition to the octagonal table and four benches, Zhang Sui also made a tablecloth out of sheepskin.

After finishing all these, it was already dusk.

Hongyu instructed several maids to prepare dinner.

Zhang Sui then asked the maid to put the food on the Eight Immortals Table.

Although in Zhang Sui's eyes, everything was normal.

However, Cai Wenji and Hongyu were both a little shocked.

They don't even know how to sit at this table!

Cai Wenji even mistakenly thought it was some kind of Hu table.

Zhang Sui taught Cai Wenji and Hongyu to sit properly.

Zhang Sui sat at the very first seat, with Hongyu and Cai Wenji sitting on his left and right.

While eating, Zhang Sui's feet were placed on Hongyu and Cai Wenji's thighs.

Both women couldn't help but look down under the table.

Seeing Zhang Sui's feet resting on their thighs and moving around, the two women looked a little embarrassed.

They didn't understand before: why Zhang Sui suddenly wanted to make this kind of table.

Now, seeing his restless feet, the two women finally understood.

Zhang Sui ate his meal while observing the two women's reactions.

Seeing the two girls lowering their heads, their pretty faces unconsciously blushing with shame, Zhang Sui smiled slightly.

He suddenly realized that he was such a scumbag!
If I had traveled through time to the Song Dynasty instead of the end of the Han Dynasty, especially the Water Margin era, I would very likely have been the second Ximen Qing.

Thinking of being beaten to death by Wu Song's fists——

Zhang Sui shrank his neck.

There must be a bottom line.
