Chapter 88: Fighting Over Zhao Yun
Who leaked the news?
Who exposed Zhao Yun's existence?
Damn it!
The expressions of the players changed slightly as they looked at Xiao Wen, the wariness in their eyes becoming extremely intense.
However, although there was wariness, there was also some unwillingness mixed in.
They had clearly already arrived here. They had clearly already met Gongsun Zan.
As long as Gongsun Zan agreed, they would be able to obtain Zhao Yun from him.
Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, was a famous general whose name resounded throughout history!
Obtaining a Tier 5 general meant they were about to soar.
So...
What reason was there not to fight for him?
Even if the one standing opposite them was a god-level player, they still had to make a move and fight for him!
The thought flashed through their minds.
The next moment, their gazes landed firmly on Gongsun Zan. One after another, they spoke up, expressing their admiration for Zhao Yun, saying that they wished to take him under their command and promising that they would certainly treat him well.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan's expression remained calm and unmoved. His tranquil gaze swept across them, a sneer on his face.
Although he did not know what these people wanted Zhao Yun for.
Nor did he know whether Zhao Yun truly had some sort of hidden potential.
At least in Gongsun Zan's eyes, he was just an ordinary young man who could only serve as a foot soldier.
Go further than that?
What a joke. Would this general misjudge someone?
That boy did not have that ability, nor did he have that fate!
"Zhao Zilong, where are you? Step forward!"
Gongsun Zan shouted loudly.
The next second, a young general walked out from the crowd.
The person who came forward was none other than Zhao Zilong of Changshan.
He wore armor and held a silver spear. Although he also looked rather valiant, he lacked a certain divine charm found in the legends of ancient history.
It was like...
It was like a bright pearl covered in dust!
General: Zhao Yun
Gender: Male
Status: Sealed
Rank: ???
Level: Level 20
Talent Attributes: ???
Weapon: Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear
Exclusive Skill: ??? (Unknown)
Personality: ???
Faction Affiliation: Gongsun Zan · White Horse Volunteers
Official Position: Squad Leader
Overview: When opponents meet their match, a general meets a worthy talent. Only a wise lord can make a dust-covered pearl bloom and release its radiance.
A sealed Zhao Zilong?
He had only made it to the position of squad leader?
This position was truly somewhat unfair to General Zhao Zilong.
Xiao Wen frowned and muttered under his breath.
Of course, Xiao Wen was not the only one muttering. The players opposite him were the same.
The moment Zhao Zilong stepped forward, those players also threw out their inspection skills.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Zilong's attribute panel appeared before everyone's eyes.
When they saw the attribute panel, the expressions on their faces all became slightly different.
There was a bit of shock, mixed with a trace of surprise.
Clearly, this Zhao Zilong before them was far more ordinary than they had imagined.
How could an ordinary person be made outstanding?
Undo his seal.
How could it be undone?
By meeting a wise lord.
Since it had to be a wise lord, why could that wise lord not be me?
A thought flashed through these players' minds.
The next second, they wished they could pounce forward directly, throw him over their shoulders, and carry him away.
However, just as this thought emerged in their hearts, they immediately saw Gongsun Zan's expression turn cold.
"Zilong, do you know these people?" Gongsun Zan asked.
"I do not," Zhao Yun answered.
"Then are you willing to leave with them?" Gongsun Zan asked again.
"In Yun's life, I only recognize a wise lord. They clearly are not one!" Zhao Zilong replied.
"You all heard what he just said clearly, didn't you? If you still want to keep a bit of face, then get lost!" Gongsun Zan waved his hand.
At the same time, from the military camp behind him came waves of horse neighs. The next moment, a white-robed iron cavalry force nearly ten thousand strong charged out.
Gongsun Zan's ace legion, the White Horse Volunteers!
The lowest level among these light cavalrymen was Level 15, while the highest had reached Level 30.
When these cavalrymen appeared behind Gongsun Zan, a powerful pressure instantly surged forward. The turbulent aura was so overwhelming that it seemed to make others unable to breathe.
The faces of these players instantly became extremely ugly. They no longer dared to remain there and fled in a sorry state.
After those people left, Gongsun Zan snorted coldly.
He looked toward Xiao Wen at the side, only to discover that this lord appointed by the Son of Heaven was also staring intently at Zhao Yun, even somewhat dazed.
As Xiao Wen looked at Zhao Yun, he suddenly sensed that the general template originally belonging to Liu Bei inside his inventory had begun to shine.
The next moment, a special quest appeared before Xiao Wen.
[Good Birds Choose the Right Trees to Perch On]
Quest Type: Special Quest
Requirement: Subdue Zhao Yun
Reward: Tier 5 General, Zhao Yun
Failure: Difficulty of fusing with the Son of Heaven's imperial fortune increases
Overview: Subdue Zhao Yun and henceforth embark on the path of competing for destiny. The Son of Heaven's imperial road has never been a road walked by one person alone. Behind him, there shall be countless followers.
The quest surfaced before Xiao Wen's eyes, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
This was the first time he had seen a forced recruitment quest like this.
Suddenly, Gongsun Zan's soft call awakened Xiao Wen.
He abruptly raised his head and saw Gongsun Zan staring at him with a faint smile.
"Is my lord also interested in that young general under my command?" Gongsun Zan could not help asking.
"Elder brother, you jest. I only feel that this person is pleasing to the eye, as if I have seen him somewhere before. It makes one unable to resist looking at him a few more times," Xiao Wen replied.
He then stepped forward, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked, "Brother Zilong, have we met somewhere before?"
Zhao Yun: ???
"Is my lord from Changshan?"
"No."
"Has my lord been to Changshan?"
"Also no."
"Then Yun naturally has never met my lord," Zhao Zilong said seriously.
He had indeed never seen such a young lord before.
However, looking at this person at this moment, he still felt that he was quite decent and pleasing to the eye.
At any rate, he was unlike those people from earlier, who were annoying.
Xiao Wen: ...
What a boring person.
A cheesy pickup line that had always worked had actually been broken by your blunt personality.
Brother, that hurt!
He returned to Gongsun Zan's side in embarrassment, lowered his voice, and said before the general:
"Elder brother, this official sees that this person's rank under your command does not seem very high."
Gongsun Zan nodded and raised his head as he said, "It is not high. When serving under this general, one naturally bears responsibility according to one's ability."
"Elder brother, this official has come by order of the Son of Heaven to encircle and suppress the Wuhuan together with you."
"However, before departing, those above instructed this official to find some promising talents. That boy just now seems rather good to this official. He can be cultivated somewhat. General, would you be willing to part with him?"
Xiao Wen rubbed his palms and asked in a lowered voice.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan frowned slightly.
If someone else had brought up this matter, he would naturally have refused outright.
But Xiao Wen was different.
He was an official sent by the Son of Heaven. In Gongsun Zan's eyes, that meant: this fellow has people in the court and cannot be offended!
If he offended him, he feared it might ruin his lord's chances of becoming Governor of You Province!
However, he had just said all those things earlier. If he simply handed Zhao Yun over like this, would that not be slapping himself in the face?
No way!
"Brother, do you truly wish to take him in?"
"Naturally."
"Zhao Zilong's direct superior is my deputy general, Yan Gang. As long as brother can make my deputy general agree to this matter, this general has no objections."
"How do I make him agree?"
Gongsun Zan's gaze landed on Ma Chao as he said:
"Fight him! Defeat him!"
