Chapter 31
After Zhan Shaoning woke up, he had already forgotten what he said last night. He was quite happy when he learned that he was assigned a task by Yuanli. He could prove his ability and stand up straight when being taken in by others.
He was full of energy and was eager to prove that he was not a freeloader. He took Xiao Ce out that day.
Liu Jixin and Wu Kai were naturally with them.
Zhan Shaoning was very good at dealing with people. In less than ten days, he had become brothers with many powerful landlords in Ji County. He bought enough medicine with less money than Yuanli planned and completed Yuanli's instructions excellently.
At the same time, what he and Xiao Ce did and said every day were also sent to Yuanli's ears one by one.
Just like Yuanli's worst guess, Zhan Shaoning seemed to be the one in charge between Zhan Shaoning and Xiao Ce, but in fact it was Xiao Ce who was in control.
Once Zhan Shaoning made a decision, Xiao Ce would gently ask, "Sir, are you sure you want to do this?" When Zhan Shaoning was asked this question, he began to doubt himself, shivered, and then asked Xiao Ce hesitantly, "Uncle Xiao, if it were you, what would you do?"
A true counselor for the master would never train Zhan Shaoning as a puppet like this.
Zhao Ying sent a large sum of money to bribe Zhan Shaoning's troops.
The remaining fifty troops were originally private soldiers of the Zhan family, but in the process of escaping, they were gradually conquered by Xiao Ce because of Xiao Ce's repeated tricks that helped them escape the crisis. Compared with listening to Zhan Shaoning's words, Xiao Ce's words convinced them more.
In the memories of the troops, when they first started to escape, Xiao Ce had repeatedly denied and questioned Zhan Shaoning's judgment, so Zhan Shaoning became indecisive. After leading his subordinates into a crisis and losing dozens of people, Zhan Shaoning no longer made decisions alone and listened to Xiao Ce's words.
After learning about this, Yuanli made up his mind instantly.
Xiao Ce is a dangerous person. It would be convenient if he doesn't stay in Yuanli, but now he wants to stay in Jixian with Zhan Shaoning. Such an ambitious person who wants to control the master and acts in an extreme way must not be left.
But Yuanli is about to leave Jixian. He doesn't have time to deal with Xiao Ce beautifully and without gossip, nor can he bypass Zhan Shaoning and do it directly. He also doesn't have time to explain to Zhan Shaoning. Zhan Shaoning has only been in Jixian for ten days. Now he trusts Xiao Ce more than he trusts Yuanli. Yuanli rashly tells Zhan Shaoning about his worries will never have a good effect.
Therefore, Yuanli plans to warn Xiao Ce before leaving Jixian so that Xiao Ce can't make trouble in the rear.
The night before going to the battlefield, Yuanli held a banquet at the Chu Palace to thank Zhan Shaoning for coming and thanking him for collecting medicinal materials for him.
At the banquet, everyone sang and danced, and they were very happy.
Halfway through the journey, Yuan Li suddenly raised his glass and said to Xiao Ce in a loud voice: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for escorting Shao Ning all the way to Youzhou, so that Shao Ning, a talent, did not suffer from disasters and came to my side to help me. This is my fortune and the fortune of Youzhou."
Zhan Shao Ning's face immediately turned red because of the praise, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Xiao Ce picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "It is Ce's duty to escort the young master to avoid disaster. The young master is young and a little reckless, but he is talented and will definitely become a general in the future! Thanks to Mr. Yuan for not abandoning him, please teach him more. Ce would like to thank Mr. Yuan."
