Chapter 24 Yu Jin, Meet the Master

"It's no use telling me what you're saying. You need the people on your side to believe it.

I did kill Li Su, but Li Su said that you killed him, there are some big implications..."

Hua Xiong shook his head: "It's nothing to do with anything. My pure heart can shine like the sun and the moon. I am not afraid of my shadow being crooked..."

Yu Jin suddenly didn't want to talk to the guy in front of him.

"Think carefully about whether you want to submit to me or not. A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in.

I just think you are a good person, so I want to keep you here."

Hua Xiong looked at Yu Jin and spoke again.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yu Jin's face: "You spared my life because I killed Li Su with my own hands, so you want to take me in, right?"

A smile also appeared on Hua Xiong's face. Seeing this expression, Yu Jin knew that he had guessed right.

Just when he thought Hua Xiong was going to admit it, Hua Xiong shook his head and denied it very seriously: "No, I just think you are more pleasing to the eye. It has nothing to do with Li Su."

Yu Jin felt depressed again. This guy...

After a while, Yu Jin looked at Hua Xiong and asked again: "Do you really want to take me in?"

Hua Xiong nodded: "Of course, otherwise why would I waste so much time talking to you?"

Yu Jin said: "Then you have to think carefully, accepting me is not a good thing.

I killed Li Su. Li Su was able to become the deputy general here at Sishui Pass, and his status was not low. From what he said, there was discord between you two.

He was from Bingzhou and was from the same hometown as Lu Bu.

It was he who caused Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and defect to Dong Zhuo.

If I kill Li Su, I will surely die.

You already have a lot of conflicts here, and Li Su said that you killed him, and you want to save me. I'm afraid someone will not let you go.

You can’t protect me either.”

Hua Xiong laughed and said, "Are you trying to provoke me, to sow discord and use someone else's hand to kill me?"

Yu Jin smiled and shook his head: “No, I’m just stating a fact.

Do you still dare to accept me now?"

"Why not?"

Hua Xiong smiled calmly and said, "I dare to accept it, do you dare to surrender?"

Yu Jin said with a smile: "Since you dare to accept it, why shouldn't I dare to surrender?"

Hua Xiong laughed out loud: "Okay, I'll take you in!"

He looked at Yu Jin and said, "Kneel down on one knee quickly and call me Lord!"

The smile on Yu Jin's face suddenly froze.

He really didn't expect that Hua Xiong would actually do what he said and directly asked him to kneel down on one knee and call him lord!

This... is really too abrupt.

He really didn't want to call out "Lord". After all, his predecessor had just been killed by the man in front of him today, and his body wasn't even completely cold yet.

But now, I have come to this place and have been squeezed into a corner, unable to come down...

"What? You don't dare anymore?"

Hua Xiong's voice sounded, and although it was plain, people could hear some different meaning in it, which was harsh.

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth secretly, and knelt on one knee in front of Hua Xiong: "Yu Jin, I pay my respects to you, my lord!"

Hua Xiong smiled and stepped forward to help Yu Jin up: "Haha, good!

"My Lord, we have established our relationship. From now on, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down!"

"I hope the lord can take over this matter and protect me."

"This is for sure."

After a moment, Hua Xiong left from here.

"Commander-in-chief, how should we deal with this man? Should we still tie his hands and feet?"

Hua Xiong's hearty laughter came: "No need, I treat Wen Ze with my heart, Wen Ze will definitely not let me down."

Yu Jin looked at Hua Xiong leaving with the broken blade hanging on his waist, and his face couldn't help but twitch...

…

"Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid Yu Jin may not really surrender."

On the way back, the bodyguard couldn't help but speak.

Hua Xiong nodded: "Indeed."

The guard was stunned: "Then you still..."

This naturally included Hua Xiong's considerations.

The main reason was that Hua Xiong lacked capable generals.

Although Hua Xiong was also an old subordinate of Dong Zhuo, he was somewhat ostracized by the people of Xiliang.

This is partly because Hua Xiong himself has a rather straightforward personality and is not very good at getting along with others.

On the other hand, Hua Xiong himself is too good at fighting and too conspicuous among the Xiliang faction.

When people are outstanding, they are always easily envied and excluded.

Since I have come to this chaotic world and the Three Kingdoms era has not yet begun, and the overlord is obsessed with overthrowing the Han Dynasty, I have to give it a try no matter what.

If you want to try, you can't do it alone, you need to accumulate your own strength.

Yu Jin is a good candidate.

Historically, he was one of Cao Cao's five best generals.

After training, he is very capable of leading troops in battle.

But in the end, after Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, it did not seem so glorious.

But his flaws do not outweigh his merits, and he can still be ranked among the generals of the Three Kingdoms.

If Yu Jin was a person as stubborn as Guan Yu, who refused to follow Cao Cao even after being treated like that by Cao Cao, then Hua Xiong would naturally not have the intention of recruiting him.

He will definitely be treated respectfully, just like he was treated to Guan Yu.

But he is not that kind of person.

Historically, after Bao Xin's death, Yu Jin followed Cao Cao. Later, after Guan Yu flooded his seven armies, he surrendered to Guan Yu.

Through this contact just now, Hua Xiong also found out that Yu Jin's character is indeed the same as in history, and he is not a loyal person.

It is very likely that such a person can be kept by your side and used for your own purposes through some means.

The words Yu Jin said just now seemed to be a provocation to himself, but they might also reflect Yu Jin's desire to survive.

In addition to these, one of the reasons was that Yu Jin killed Li Su, which made Hua Xiong feel secretly happy.

Of course, he was not a pedantic person who had to ban it.

If Yu Jin doesn't know what's good for him and has other intentions in mind when he rescues him from this situation in the future, then he won't be polite.

He had just said to Yu Jin, "If you don't let me down, I won't let you down."

But if you betray me, then Overlord Broken Blade will be on your side!

…

As night fell, Hua Xiong inspected Sishui Pass and arranged for people to watch over it. Then he returned to his tent, sat there and thought for a while, then lay down to sleep.

Soon there was a slight snoring sound.

Without Li Su, the man who plotted against him, around him, Hua Xiong slept soundly.

He was not planning to send troops tonight. After a series of battles, his spirits were still okay, but his soldiers and horses could not take it.

Hua Xiong fell into a sound sleep, but many people could not sleep tonight .

For example, the numerous soldiers and princes in the Guandong coalition camp.

Although most people felt that Hua Xiong would not come to raid the camp again tonight due to his continuous battles, they were still worried.

After all, Hua Xiong cannot be judged by common sense.

Last night, most of them still thought that Hua Xiong would definitely not come to rob the camp, but Bao Xin ended up losing his head.

After this bloody lesson, they dared not be careless again.

But tonight they were destined to wait in solitude, and many soldiers would have to endure the cold all night with their spirits tense...

Yu Jin lay in the tent, tossing and turning.

Although I feel very tired and want to sleep, I just can't fall asleep...
