Chapter 8: Fellow-minded people

After entering the house, Zhao Yu rubbed his fingers together and rubbed them hard, lighting the oil lamp without using any magic power.

Cao Mengde and Cao Hong saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel more shocked.

Zhao Yu flicked his sleeves and made a gesture: "Please sit down, both of you."

People in the Han Dynasty knelt and sat on the couch, with their knees together and their buttocks pressing their heels, sitting in a strict posture. Later Japan also continued some etiquette at this time.

Sitting posture or anything else has no effect on Zhao Yu. In his current state, even if one toe touches the ground, it is no problem to support the entire body for a long time.

Cao Mengde knelt down, stretched his hands forward, raised his thumbs, and put his remaining fingers together. He bowed and bowed to the end: "If there is no immortal to save me, Cao Mengde will be doomed! Please accept my worship and show your sincerity!"

Zhao Yu saw a look of pain on his face that he was forced to endure. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He waved his sleeves and had a secret surge of magic power to help him and Cao Hong stand up: "It doesn't have to be like this."

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "I am not an immortal, not to mention that my rescue of you is not without conditions. Moreover, Cao Hong's troops are approaching at that time, so he may not be able to save you."

Cao Mengde shook his head firmly: "It's true that the immortal saved me. It was urgent at that time, and Mengde knew it. I have never met the immortal, and the immortal saved me as a gift. I, Cao Mengde, will make a promise today

, no matter what the immortal needs, Cao Mengde agrees to it and will never regret it! If you regret it, both heaven and man will be killed! "

Cao Hong listened but hesitated to speak. He thought this promise was too big. What if the immortal's requirements were too harsh or Cao Mengde died?

But Cao Hong didn't know what Cao Mengde was thinking.

Cao Mengde was originally a passionate young man, and he once had great ambitions to open up territory for the Han Dynasty as a general in the Western Conquest. However, the princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo finally allowed him to wash away all his glory and awaken his heroic heart.

Now that he is weak and alone, and has suffered a new defeat, if he can have an immortal to help him, it will be a great thing both in terms of fame and reality.

He, Cao Mengde, was destined to return, could he even hesitate to make a promise? Even if this promise will bring harm in the future, it will be in the future. When it comes to choosing the lesser of two evils, Cao Mengde's decision-making is beyond what Cao Hong can match.

Zhao Yu's heart was empty, and Cao Mengde's thoughts were clear at a glance.

But he appreciates it even more. Such people are the ones who do great things and can carry his trust.

Zhao Yu put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay. Brother Meng De is indeed very courageous, and he will definitely achieve great achievements in the future."

Then he said: "Brother Meng De, please don't call me Immortal from now on. My name is Zhao Yu, and my Taoist name is Tianyi."

"This..." Cao Mengde hesitated: "Could it be that the immortal doesn't want outsiders to know his identity?"

Zhao Yu laughed and shook his head: "No. Although I have cultivated magic power and have some supernatural powers, I am not an immortal yet. I have just embarked on the road to immortality. To say that I am an immortal is to discredit me."

Cao Mengde and Cao Hong looked at each other, but they believed in Zhao Yu's immortal status even more.

Cao Mengde said: "Then let's call him Mr. Zhao?"

"Okay." Zhao Yu smiled.

Cao Mengde breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, what is the solution to the general trend of the world now? Mengde is newly defeated, and his heart is in a mess, which is difficult to sort out."

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Is it possible that Brother Mengde wants to test me?"

Cao Mengde was slightly embarrassed: "Mr. Zhao was joking..."

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Mengde knows the general trend of the world better than me, why bother asking me. I know what Mengde means, and I came to save you for this reason. Firstly, Mengde is an outstanding person, with great ambition and courage. Secondly, I have What you want.”

Cao Mengde was about to speak, but Zhao Yu flicked his sleeves and stopped: "Listen to me first."

Zhao Yu looked slightly serious: "Since Meng De has made a promise, I won't hide it. It's better to say it out first. I don't like to guess with others, so as not to be separated from each other. . If you can work with Meng De and speak directly in the future, Meng De please remember what I said at this time."

"Mr. Zhao, please speak." Cao Mengde looked serious.

"I saved Mengde because Mengde has the ability to conquer the world. I am not willing to be your subordinate, Mengde, to plan or act for you. I must treat you as a teacher or a friend. If Mengde refuses, what will happen next will also happen." There’s no need to say more.”

Cao Mengde immediately said: "That's how it should be! Sir is an extraordinary person, and it is a blessing for Mengde to be my teacher and friend!"

"Okay." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "My conditions are very simple. If something happens in the future, Meng De must agree to me if I ask again and again. If not, I will turn around and leave."

"Yes!" Cao Mengde did not hesitate when he heard this.

You have even said the words "human beings and nature will kill together" before, so why should you hesitate now?

Hesitation shows a guilty conscience, which makes people look down upon.

"Okay." Zhao Yu laughed heartily: "Finally, I have one more thing, and I want Meng De to promise me first."

"Sir, just say it."

"I will help Mengde conquer the world, and Mengde must also help me practice." Zhao Yu said: "It is not easy to practice the immortal way, and it requires very high resources. I hope Mengde can collect medicinal materials and rare objects for me. In addition, I am Taihe Immortal. For the disciples in this world, I want to establish a separate courtyard for the Immortal Sect, and I may recruit some disciples, and I also need Meng De’s cooperation.”

When Cao Mengde heard this, he was suddenly surprised.

This is a good thing!

If Zhao Yu had nothing to ask for, he would have to worry about his ulterior motives. It is right to ask for something. In addition, opening Taihe Xianmen Villa is just what he wants. Since Mr. Zhao wants to recruit disciples, wouldn't the connection become even closer if he only needs to include the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family?

In this era, the master-disciple relationship is much closer than the marriage relationship.

Master, Master, Master is Father!

Cao Mengde loudly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I agree to everything!"

"By the way." Zhao Yu suddenly seemed to remember something: "I heard that you have the disease of being a widower. If I meet a beautiful woman that I fall in love with in the future, you can't compete with me!"

Cao Mengde was stunned, his eyes widened, and he laughed: "Hahaha... It turns out that Mr. Zhao is also a member of the same group! Okay, if Mr. Zhao likes him in the future, I, Cao Mengde, will not hesitate to tie him up and send him to his room directly. !”

Next to him, Cao Hong felt ashamed and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhao, are your immortals as good as mortals?"

"Why can't it be possible?" Zhao Yu said with a smile: "If you want to become an immortal, you must first be a human being. If I don't complete my humanity, I won't be able to become an immortal. I have the same emotions and six desires, so why can't I be as good as a mortal?"

"That's it..." Cao Mengde listened and thought for a moment: "Mr. Zhao's words are wonderful. If you want to become an immortal, you must first be a human being. How can you become an immortal if you can't do it well?"

That night, Cao Mengden took care of his injury and had a pleasant chat with Zhao Yu.

Except in the beginning, formal and rigorous. Later I let go completely. Say whatever you think without any scruples.

Zhao Yu acted as if he didn't know that Cao Mengde was injured. Anyway, he just held him and chatted, talking about everything that came to mind, from ancient times to the present. Occasionally, he would ask Cao Mengde about some unspeakable things he encountered in his life. When Cao Mengde said it, he would make fun of him. Anyway, he did not regard Cao Mengde as a hero, but as a talkative friend.

This makes the atmosphere more relaxed.
