Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 84: Second-grade Intermediate Dragon Weapon: Qiankun Cloth Bag

"Is this Yuan Huan?"

Ji Qiu's gaze fell on the young scholar, but he saw that his shoulders were slightly hunched due to the ropes, his moon-white gown was stained with mud, and the jade pendant on his waist was tilted to one side.

The messy black hair fell in front of his forehead, but it could not hide his brow bones like distant dark mountains, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes were condensed with a cold frosty color.

There was a dark red fingerprint on his pale cheek, his thin lips were pressed into a stubborn straight line, and his eyelashes cast tiny shadows when he lowered his eyes. Although his clothes were disheveled, his every move revealed the elegance of a well-read person. Only his shoulders were trembling slightly, revealing his embarrassment in trying to hold on.

"She has a good appearance and temperament!" Ji Qiu nodded secretly.

Speaking of the talented people from aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty, most of them actually had a pretty good image and temperament.

This is mainly because the talent selection mechanism of the Eastern Han Dynasty already included an assessment of image and temperament.

Those who don’t have a good image and temperament will be eliminated at the first round.

Pang Tong first joined Sun Quan and then Liu Bei, but why was he not valued either time?
This has a lot to do with his ugly appearance.

Among all the generals under Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang loved Zhao Yun the most, but he disliked Wei Yan. Why?
This has a lot to do with the fact that Zhao Yun is handsome and Wei Yanchang is ferocious.

Even Cao Cao, who himself had an ugly appearance, missed the opportunity to obtain the map of Western Shu because he looked down on the ugly Zhang Song.

Think about it, even people like Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Cao Cao looked down on those with ugly appearances, let alone others.

The aristocratic families are well versed in the rules of officialdom, so the talents they introduce are naturally those with excellent appearance and temperament!
"You, you, who are you? Why did you suddenly attack Bo County? Do you know that I am Yuan Huan from the Yuan family..."

Yuan Huan twisted his body and struggled to break free from the ropes that bound his body, but he was tied too tightly and could not get free at all. He had to give up and asked.

Wei Yan's surprise attack and the speed of breaking the city were so fast that Yuan Huan had no time to react.

He was originally reading in the study, but was caught by Wei Yan who suddenly broke into the study.

It was not until Wei Yan tied him up and took him out of the mansion that he discovered that the entire Bo County had fallen.

Then I was brought here in a daze, and until now I have no idea what happened.

"Of course I know you are Yuan Huan. If you weren't Yuan Huan, I wouldn't have arrested you!"

"As for my identity, I think you should be very familiar with it. I am Ji Qiu!" Ji Qiu said slowly.

Yuan Huan was stunned and cried out, "You are Ji Qiu? How is that possible? Aren't you still in Chenliu County? How did you suddenly appear here?"

"That's naturally fake news. If you didn't all think I was in Chenliu County, how could you have let your guard down so much and allowed me to easily capture the county seat of Bo County?" Ji Qiu chuckled.

In order to delay time, he had previously kept his army stationed in Chenliu County.

Later, when he decided to capture Taishan County, he ordered the army to hide during the day and move at night, quickly rush to Taishan County, and immediately capture Jumu County to block the news.

This made the Taishan family and the Taishan Yellow Turbans completely unaware of his whereabouts. They all thought he was still in Chenliu County.

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Huan's face was as gloomy as water, and his heart began to sink.

He never expected that Ji Qiu, who was originally stationed in Chenliu County and dared not come to Taishan County at all, had arrived in Taishan County without anyone noticing.

This news really shocked him.

What shocked him even more was that Ji Qiu seemed to have known for a long time that he had joined forces with the Taishan aristocratic families and the Taishan Yellow Turbans in Taishan County to conspire against Ji Qiu.

Otherwise, he would not have raided Bo County, let alone arrested him!

But this kind of Yuan family conspiracy was only known to a few people within the Yuan family. How did Ji Qiu know about it?
Who leaked this information to Ji Qiu?

Of course, it is actually meaningless to discuss how Ji Qiu learned the news at this time.

At least it didn't mean much to him.

What he wanted to know more at this moment was what Ji Qiu was going to do next and what he was going to do to him.

But no matter what Ji Qiu is going to do, I'm afraid his situation is very bad.

Because Ji Qiu hid his tracks and launched a surprise attack, his primary purpose must have been to attack the Taishan Yellow Turbans and the Taishan family who were his enemies.

This will completely destroy his plan.

I'm afraid he won't be able to complete the task Yuan Wei assigned to him.

He was a descendant of the Yuan family's side branch, so it was impossible for him to get too many opportunities.

This mission is his biggest opportunity.

If successful, he might even replace Yuan Shao's position in the Yuan family.

But now that he has failed, his future in the Yuan family is ruined.

There will never be another chance.

Compared to his ruined future, his current situation in prison is not that important.

The mainstream trend in late Han Dynasty society was to sacrifice one's life for justice. Talented people valued opportunities and platforms to display their talents more than their own lives.

In order to seek an opportunity to display their talents, countless people are willing to risk their lives.

Even children from top-tier aristocratic families like Yuan Huan are no exception!
"You are quite capable. You have only been in Bo County for three months, and you have transformed this barren land into a vibrant one.

I admire you very much. How about you consider joining me and working with me in the future?" Ji Qiu said straight to the point.

Those in power should have a broad mindset, so that they can accomplish great things.

Although Yuan Huan was born in the Yuan family, he had talent, which made it worth Ji Qiu's effort to win him over.

At the same time, given Yuan Huan's current situation, there is indeed an opportunity to win him over. "To join you?"

Yuan Huan had an incredible expression on his face.

Ji Qiu's proposal was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Although his future in the Yuan family is ruined, it seems that there is a chance for him to be won over.

But how could Ji Qiu really dare to win him over?

Aren't you really afraid that he will pretend to surrender, then lurk beside Ji Qiu and launch a counterattack?
After all, his mission is to eliminate Ji Qiu. If he can eliminate Ji Qiu in this way, it can be considered as completing the mission!

"You are not a talented person in diplomacy, so it is really difficult for you to come to Taishan County to form alliances.

The way to employ people is to use their strengths.

After you join me, I will entrust you with important tasks, let you be responsible for logistics, and give full play to your talents and wisdom! "

Ji Qiu continued to recruit people patiently, as if he was not worried at all that Yuan Huan would pretend to surrender.

Yuan Huan was suddenly touched that Ji Qiu, his enemy, could understand him so well and trust him so much.

It gave him a sense of "a man will die for his friend".

At the same time, Ji Qiu's vision, talent and courage are also extraordinary.

How dare you use your enemies so boldly.

"The world is about to be in chaos, and everything will be reshuffled. At this time, everything else is empty, and only talent is the most real."

"Judging from Ji Qiu's performance, he might become a regional overlord in the future!"

"I'm now at the end of my rope in the Yuan family. If I seek refuge with Ji Qiu, it might be a way out!"

"How about giving it a try?"

"Even if I'm wrong, I can become an undercover agent and return to the Yuan family later!"

Yuan Huan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Ji Qiu looked at Yuan Huan's changing expression and couldn't help but smile.

He knew that Yuan Huan was moved.

I was moved by his humble attitude.

Of course, I was just moved.

At present, he cannot be said to be loyal to Ji Qiu, and it is more of a speculation due to the situation.

Maybe he was thinking of turning the tables if the situation got worse, and using this achievement to return to the Yuan family.

But none of this matters.

For Ji Qiu, as long as Yuan Huan was willing to join him in name, that would be enough.

He would plant a dragon seed in Yuan Huan to ensure his loyalty.

Of course, if Yuan Huan refuses to surrender, he can also use the dragon seed to forcibly control Yuan Huan.

But he was not willing to do that.

Because this will completely expose the ability of the dragon species and have a very bad impact on the civil and military officials under his command.

After all, who would be willing to follow a lord who can control them at any time and turn them into a puppet?
Ji Qiu then came over and untied Yuan Huan with his own hands, saying with a smile, "Well, Yao Qing, have you thought it through? I've treated you with sincerity, so please don't let me down!"

"Alas, the envoy is full of sincerity, and I am extremely moved. But I still have two conditions. If the envoy can do it, I am willing to join you and serve you!" Yuan Huan said with a long sigh.

Ji Qiu immediately said, "Yao Qing, please speak!"

"First of all, I am a member of the Yuan family after all, and I don't want to be an enemy of the Yuan family, so I hope your Excellency will not let me become a direct enemy of the Yuan family in the future!" Yuan Huan said.

Ji Qiu said, "It's a good thing that Yaoqing hasn't forgotten his roots. How can I not allow it? Yaoqing can focus on the logistics in the future. I will never let Yaoqing fight against the Yuan family on the battlefield!"

"Secondly, my wife and children are still in the Yuan family. If I seek refuge with you, I'm afraid they will be in trouble with the Yuan family. Please try to rescue them!" Yuan Huan said.

Ji Qiu said again: "No problem, since Yao Qing has come to join me, your wife and children are mine.

I will send my best men to fetch your wife, children, and elders and ensure their safety!"

"In that case, I pay my respects to my lord!" Yuan Huan knelt on the ground and paid his respects with great ceremony.

Ji Qiu laughed heartily, helped Yuan Huan up and said, "Qing Yao, please stand up quickly. I wish you as much as Gaozu wished for the Marquis of Ling!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to help Yuan Huan up, a dragon seed entered Yuan Huan's body without anyone noticing.

After the dragon seed entered Yuan Huan's body, Yuan Huan's expression suddenly changed. He bowed to Ji Qiu and said, "My lord, I have something else that I would like to present to you!"

"There's another thing? What is it?" Ji Qiu asked.

Yuan Huan took out something from his arms, which turned out to be a cloth bag half a foot square.

The surface of the cloth bag was decorated with ancient patterns of interwoven clouds and thunder. The dark purple fabric was shimmering, soft as silk yet extremely tough.

The mouth of the bag is decorated with nine red gold bells, engraved with the seal script of "Qian Kun". When the breeze blows, the bells make a crisp sound, and the vibration of the sound waves makes people feel confused and dazed.

Yuan Huan handed the cloth bag to Ji Qiu and said in a deep voice, "This is a treasure of the Yuan family, a second-grade intermediate dragon weapon, the Qiankun cloth bag!"
