Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 19: Fan's Drinking
When Xing Daorong heard that Zhao Fan invited him to a banquet, he did not refuse at all.

Anyway, it is unlikely that a war will break out for the time being, so I might as well put my plan of "dying on the battlefield" on hold and just live my life.

Since suicide is not an option, just enjoy the present moment.

Xing Daorong knew his own worth very well.

These few times, for unknown reasons, I failed to commit suicide. Next time when I attack Xichuan, I won’t be so lucky.

In short
In Xing Daorong's heart, his "miserable" days will not last long.

Xing Daorong feels that his life is quite miserable, but others don't think so.

Even Zhao Fan was quite envious of Xing Daorong.

That day, Xing Daorong was invited into the mansion, and was served with fine wine and delicious food.

But then again, the good wine and food of this day still taste a bit different from the "black technology" of later generations. We can just enjoy the atmosphere.

Where does this atmosphere come from?
Of course it was Fan, who was helping to pour wine, who came.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Fan suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the general has not yet married?"

Hearing this, Xing Daorong glanced at Fan, and saw that her beautiful face was slightly flushed. Although she looked shy, she knew what Zhao Fan meant.

He just nodded sullenly and said, "How can I have a family if my great undertaking is not yet accomplished?"

Zhao Fan said immediately, "Hey, General, that's not right. As the saying goes, if you don't settle your family, how can you build a career?"

As he spoke, he could not help but sigh again, "To be honest, General, my elder brother has passed away for three years. My sister-in-law is a widow and there is no ending. I have always advised her to remarry. My sister-in-law said, 'I will only marry someone who has three things: first, he must be both civil and military, and famous throughout the world; second, he must be handsome and have outstanding dignity; third, he must have the same surname as my brother.' But where in the world is there such a coincidence that can meet all three of these conditions?"

Xing Daorong quickly replied, "That's not impossible!"

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, is a man of both civil and military talents, handsome, and has the same last name as my brother. He is just the right person for me."

Zhao Fan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Xing Daorong to directly pick Zhao Yun out.

Although Zhao Yun does fit these three points very well,
He is not the point!

Zhao Fan looked obviously embarrassed for a moment, but he smiled and said, "General Xing is joking. This matter has nothing to do with General Zhao Yun."

Xing Daorong listened and glanced at Fan and said, "Madam, do you think so too?"

Fan was stunned when she heard this, and the wine glass in her hand almost spilled some wine. She finally calmed her trembling heart and said to Xing Daorong: "Zhao Yun is good, but he is far away in Wuling. It is better to have General Xing right in front of you."

The voice was soft, like a feather brushing against the tip of his heart, making Xing Daorong feel itchy.

just
Xing Daorong still shook his head and said, "Old Fan, I appreciate your kindness. But as I said, how can I have a family if my great cause is not accomplished?"

As he said this, he turned to face Fan Yufeng, staring into her sparkling eyes with his tiger eyes, and said seriously: "Sister-in-law is a beauty, Xing is attracted to her. A gentleman likes a beautiful lady, this is human nature."

"It's just that Xing likes to be a pioneer. If I die on the battlefield one day, wouldn't it be a shame for my sister-in-law?"

Fan Yufeng's heart, which had just calmed down when Xing Daorong looked at her, suddenly tensed up again.

I opened my mouth, but didn't know how to refute.

Xing Daorong smiled and said, "Madam, in this chaotic world, you should find a peaceful family!"

After that, he drank the wine in his hand and said to Zhao Fan: "Thank you for your hospitality today, Brother Zhao. I can't drink much, so I will leave today."

"Next day, I will definitely invite you brothers to my house!"

After saying that, he just turned around and left, not being polite at all.

Only Zhao Fan and Fan Yufeng were left with complicated expressions.

After a long while, Zhao Fan was the first to react, and he said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, although what General Xing said does make some sense, since he said that you are a beauty, it is obvious that he has taken a liking to you."

"Although things didn't work out today, there's no need to rush."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yufeng put away the wine bottle in her hand and whispered, "Uncle, don't you want to be the governor of Guiyang? Why didn't you mention it?" Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "Xing Daorong is very smart. How could he not see what I want?"

"If he doesn't mention it, then I don't have to mention it either."

Fan Yufeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The uncle and the sister-in-law sat in silence, but their minds were filled with thoughts and worries.

It was obvious that Xing Daorong's matter was not going to end so easily.

...

It’s not that Xing Daorong looks down on Fan Yufeng, nor does he despise her because she’s married.

A married woman naturally has her own advantages.

Gentle, considerate, caring, experienced...

Especially a goddess-level wife like Fan, she is even more likable.

But Xing Daorong was speaking from his heart. He considered it his duty to die on the battlefield. If Fan followed him and became a widow again, it would not be a good thing.

Besides...

He also didn't want to leave any shackles on himself.

In order to avoid being too sentimental, he hesitated when he went to the battlefield.

Just as he walked out of the place where Zhao Fan was treating him to a meal, he saw Huang Zhong walking quickly towards him.

Seeing that he was drunk, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "General Xing, the lord has something important to discuss, and urgently needs you to come over."

Although Xing Daorong reeked of alcohol, he was far from drunk. When he heard Liu Bei's urgent call, he knew something big was going to happen, so he quickly said to Huang Zhong, "General Huang, lead the way. I'll be fine."

Huang Zhong saw that Xing Daorong spoke clearly and did not show any signs of being drunk, so he felt relieved to lead the way.

When they found Liu Bei's place, they saw Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang among them.

With himself and Huang Zhong included, except for Zhang Fei's absence, it seemed that this was the highest-level meeting of Liu Bei's group for the time being.

When he entered, Guan Yu saw that Xing Daorong was drunk, and he couldn't help but frowned and said, "General Xing seems to have been having a good time these days."

Xing Daorong knew that Guan Yu looked down on him.

This is not surprising. Guan Yu was arrogant, and he had never fought with him. Liu Bei highly valued him, so it was natural that he would look down on him.

Seeing that he was drinking, he took the opportunity to make trouble.

But he was not in the army at the moment, and Xing Daorong was not afraid of Guan Yu at all.

If you are not afraid of death, how could you be afraid of fighting with Guan Yu?
He immediately said, "General Guan, if you want to drink with me, I will remember to call you next time."

When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes narrowed, his face changed, and he stopped responding.

It seems like he doesn't care about anything, but he thinks highly of himself.

However, Xing Daorong saw that Guan Yu did not provoke him, so he did not take the initiative to speak to him again. He just bowed slightly to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and then found a place to sit down.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He was not surprised. After all, when Kong Ming joined, Guan Yu did not give him a good look.

It was not until the Battle of Xinye and the Burning of Bowangpo that Guan Yu's attitude changed.

As long as Xing Daorong has real ability, he is not worried about their future relationship. Liu Bei also knows his second brother's temper very well.
