Chapter 25 Zhang Liao’s adventure, the ‘poisonous scholar’ Jia Xu?
"Congratulations, my lord. You have finally mastered the dark energy. From now on, you will be considered a first-class general!"

"From the time I started practicing martial arts to the time I entered the Earth General realm, it took only a little over a month. This level of progress can be considered unprecedented and will never be surpassed!"

"From now on, the general will not come out. I am afraid that no one can stop the lord's edge."

Zhao Yun and Zhang He expressed their sincere emotion.

These words made Zhang Liao feel even more uncomfortable. He mastered the hidden power after practicing martial arts for more than a month. How fast is that?

I still remember that I practiced martial arts for ten years and became a general at the age of fifteen. This was a great story in the entire upper class of Mayi, and my father was so proud that he held a banquet for ten consecutive days.

But in front of Ye Feng, Zhang Liao felt like a piece of scrap metal.

Ye Feng could naturally see Zhang Liao's depression, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder: "If it weren't for the battle with Brother Wenyuan today, I don't know how long it would take to enter the underground."

"How about I give you a gift in return?"

"Gift?"

Ye Feng nodded: "After watching your fight with Zilong just now and practicing with you in person, I think your Zhang family's Liaoyuan Sword Technique has the potential to improve."

"I'll think about it in the next two days and give you a surprise when I leave."

Zhang Liao nodded indifferently, not really expecting much from this.

Ye Feng did not explain too much. He could have written down the [Tian Liaoyuan Sword Technique] now, but he did not have a deep relationship with Zhang Liao, and secondly, his extraordinary comprehension ability could not be exposed too early.

And handing it over to Zhang Liao before leaving can also reduce unnecessary trouble.

Zhang He on the side said in a low voice unhappily: "Don't you want to explore the mystery of the Heavenly General? The skills improved by my master can reach the level of Heavenly Grade Skills."

"That is to say, in two days you will have a heaven-level technique that is most suitable for you."

Zhang Liao's eyes showed disbelief: "Brother Fanzhi, is this true?"

Ye Feng glared at Zhang He, but did not deliberately hide it.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with excitement after hearing Ye Feng's personal admission: "Thank you, Brother Fanzhi. If you can reach the threshold of the Heavenly General, you will be my great benefactor."

"From now on, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!!"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Is a set of skills worth your life?"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "It's not because of a technique, but because of Brother Fan's ability."

"I heard that these refined salts, soaps, and even the 'Thousand Days of Drunk' were all made by you, and your understanding of martial arts is even more amazing. It is my fortune to be able to follow you."

"The world seems peaceful now, but in fact it is turbulent. If there is a sudden change, many heroes will fight for it. Isn't it lucky to meet a wise leader?"

There was a flash of surprise in Ye Feng's eyes. Could it be that Zhang Liao had already seen that the world was about to fall into chaos?

Perhaps seeing the doubt in Ye Feng's eyes, Zhang Liao chuckled and said, "I was also instructed by an expert."

"What master?"

Zhang Liao said, "Since Brother Fanzhi developed these things and they became popular in Hebei, our Zhang family's business has been declining day by day."

"Just at this time, I rescued a middle-aged scholar from the hands of the bandits. After he learned my identity, he gave me a plan and asked me to lead people to take back the horses from the bandits. As long as we are patient and wait, the Zhang family's worries can be solved."

"Everything turned out just as you expected. With Brother Fanzhi here, the Zhang family's crisis is resolved."

"The 'treasonous' words just now were actually said by him."

Ye Feng's eyes were filled with more interest: "What's this gentleman's name?"

"Xiliang, from Wuwei."

"My surname is Jia, and my given name is Xu."

"Jia Xu?" Ye Feng exclaimed before Zhang Liao finished speaking.

He never expected to meet the top strategist of the era, the "poisonous scholar" Jia Xu, in Mayi.

"Where is Mr. Wenhe (Jia Xu's pen name)?"

"Have you ever left?"

Ye Feng asked impatiently.

Zhang Liao was surprised to see Ye Feng call out Jia Xu's courtesy name, and said to the servant beside him, "Prepare wine and food in the pavilion, and invite Mr. Wenhe to the pavilion."

"Here!!"

The servant left in a hurry, and Zhang Liao also pulled Ye Feng to the back garden.

Inside the pavilion.

Ye Feng looked at Jia Xu, who was labeled as a "rioter" and a "poisonous scholar" by later generations. He had an ordinary appearance, no different from an ordinary middle-aged scholar.

But it was this unprepossessing middle-aged scholar before him who opened the prelude to the struggle for supremacy among heroes in history.

Historically, after Dong Zhuo was killed, he casually gave Li Jue and Guo Si some advice, which made the two of them determined to gather the Western Liang Cavalry, charge into Chang'an City, and deal the final blow to the dying Han Dynasty.

When assisting Zhang Xiu, he helped Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao twice. In the second war, he killed Dian Wei, Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and others, and almost killed Cao Cao.

In the subsequent Battle of Guandu, when everyone thought that Yuan Shao would win, he asserted that Cao Cao would win, and urged Zhang Xiu to come to his rescue, and in the end everything happened as he expected.

A person who can influence the world situation invisibly, and such a talent is surprisingly plain-looking.

He is truly a great man hiding in the city!
Ye Feng came back to his senses and looked at Jia Xu with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, you used your brain, but I ran my legs off!"

Jia Xu twirled his beard lightly and said, "Although Master Ye has suffered from the hardships of traveling, it is not without gain."

"At least the horses won't be a headache anymore. Besides that, I've got a good general. Isn't that wonderful?"

Ye Feng laughed: "Sir, why do you believe that the world will be in chaos?"

"You know that this statement is extremely treasonous. If anyone spreads it, I'm afraid that everyone present here will not be able to escape responsibility."

Jia Xu picked up the Thousand Days Drunk and sipped it gently: "There has never been an immortal dynasty. The Eastern and Western Han dynasties lasted nearly four hundred years, but now it is corrupt from top to bottom. I can see that the Taiping Dao is sweeping the world, but no one is stopping it."

"If the people rise up in rebellion, even if we can quell the superficial war, how can we quell the greed of human nature?"

"Power is easy to take, but it is very difficult to let it go."

In the following time, the two of them drank and talked about world affairs.

Ye Feng has a forward-looking vision and a vast amount of knowledge. He speaks eloquently and many of his ideas make Jia Xu fall into deep thought and consider the feasibility.

As the sun slowly set, the two of them became more and more interested in each other.

Even when Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Zhang Liao went to an open space on the side to practice martial arts, he turned a deaf ear to them.

Finally, the last ray of light from the setting sun faded away, Ye Feng stood up and bowed: "Mr. Wenhe's words are very much in line with my heart."

"The world is about to be in turmoil, and I want to take advantage of the situation and build a career in this chaotic world."

"Mr. Wenhe, are you willing to come out and lend me a hand?"

If there hadn't been a whole afternoon of conversation, Jia Xu might have hesitated, after all, one must consider oneself first.

After all, the world is not in chaos, so how can we risk being beheaded?
But now Jia Xu did not hesitate at all. He helped Ye Feng up and knelt on one knee and saluted: "I have met a wise master. How dare I not serve you?"

Ye Feng laughed loudly: "Having Wenhe is like adding wings to a tiger!"

"Ha ha!!"
