Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"Sir, shall we go back too?"

Cao Ang and his entourage's carriages slowly returned to the city.

Xu Huang then stepped forward and spoke.

"Coo coo coo..."

Just then, a strange sound came from inside.

This caused Xu Huang's face to turn ugly.

"You must be hungry after standing all day?"

"Let's go to Baixianglou."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, sir!"

He was starving that day.

Especially when they were starving, Su Chen and the others happened to be eating grilled fish.

The aroma of fish and meat, along with the sour, pungent smell of love.

Goodness...

It almost killed Xu Huang on the spot.

Fortunately, Su Chen "did not forget his original aspiration".

The main purpose of this trip was to visit Baixianglou!

Although it was already close to dusk.

But as long as it's not nightfall, Baixianglou will not close.

Thinking of this, his previously weak hands and feet suddenly regained their strength.

"Let's go to the East Gate."

Su Chen spoke as soon as he mounted his horse.

These words immediately startled Xu Huang:

"Sir, this is the South Gate. Wouldn't it be closer to Bai Xiang Lou from the South Gate?"

However, Su Chen had already made his decision.

He said nothing more and spurred his horse to follow closely behind.

He could never have imagined Su Chen's idea.

Why go to the East Gate?

Because the East Gate is where scholars from all directions come to gather!

This time, it was Su Chen who orchestrated everything behind the scenes.

But I never expected it to cause such a huge commotion.

Let's leave Xuzhou and Yangzhou aside for now.

Even scholars from Jingzhou have come!

We should go check on it right away!

You might just meet some really talented people.

We must be quick to discover them and not let such talent slip away!

The purpose of seeking talented individuals was not to help Cao Cao.

It was for Su Chen's own sake!

Find a suitable writer and recommend them yourself.

At that time, they can be cultivated into trusted confidants.

Su Chen never liked court infighting.

But if someone in the court owes him a favor, then he can avoid these problems in the future.

It would be even better if we could find a suitable martial arts talent.

We should find a way to get it directly, and then add another general to our bodyguard!

Although Xu Huang's martial arts skills were already quite high.

But in chaotic times, self-preservation is naturally the top priority.

Now his reputation is spreading far and wide because of Cao Cao.

What if some bastard comes looking for my life someday?

If there are too many people, even Xu Huang would be no match for them!

Without any special advantages, this is the safest way to do it.

If it weren't for my date with Qinghe today...

Su Chen will definitely have to stay at the East Gate for a whole day.

Upon seeing a familiar name, he grabbed her immediately.

He thought to himself that.

Su Chen and Xu Huang dismounted and arrived at the East Gate, where scholars were registered.

Xun Yu was hunched over his desk, looking utterly exhausted.

It seems like this day has been quite busy.

"Mr. Wenruo".

Su Chen smiled slightly and leaned closer to greet him.

"Oh? Jingming?"

What are you doing here?

When Xun Yu saw Su Chen, he was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion.

"I've heard that quite a few scholars have come to join me."

"I thought I'd come and see if I could be of any help."

As Su Chen spoke, he unceremoniously plopped down next to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu looked at the young man in front of him.

I forcibly suppressed the urge to punch him.

Want to help?!

It's already dusk!

What can I do to help?!

What mischief are you up to now, kid?

Ever since seeing Su Chen's performance these past two days.

Xun Yu had already made up his mind.

Su Chen is cunning and scheming.

Being with him will never lead to anything good.

Even Cao Ang was tricked by him.

What else is he incapable of doing?

Su Chen, however, didn't seem to care at all and casually picked up today's registration list.

Looking at rows of unfamiliar names.

Su Chen frowned slightly as he turned the pages one by one.

Wang Hu, Zhao Si, Liu Neng...

What kind of names are these?

Su Chen's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

He finally understood Xun Yu's feelings on this day.

After the announcement of the list, the number of scholars who came to submit their applications increased more than tenfold.

However, there are also many who try to pass off inferior goods as superior ones.

Even the initial screening of these people is a difficult task.

Otherwise, Cao Cao wouldn't have specifically sent Xun Yu to keep an eye on things.

Occasionally, I would see names that I vaguely recognized on the list.

But most of them were minor figures from the Three Kingdoms period.

Su Chen quickly skipped over it.

All these people combined are not as fierce as Xu Huang alone.

Xun Yu looked at Su Chen with a suspicious expression.

Didn't you come here to help?

Even if you're late, you should at least help, right?

Well, there are still so many people, so Su Chen just went through the registration records?

This kid is definitely up to no good!

Just as Su Chen was about to flip to the bottom.

Suddenly, a burly man strode toward Xun Yu and Su Chen.

Behind him were several other burly men of similar stature.

"Is this the place where I sought refuge with Cao Cao?"

A rough, powerful voice came through.

Many scholars around made way for him.

They all looked at the burly men with horrified expressions.

"This is it."

Xun Yu also frowned, sizing up the burly man before him:

"This time, we are recruiting retainers, most of whom are scholars."

"You...could you also be a scholar?"

The burly man immediately raised an eyebrow:

"What? Wasn't it said that Sikong cherishes talent?"

"That's why I rushed here from Qiao County, a distance of thousands of miles away."

"Why are you saying you only want intellectuals now?"

Judging from his tone, the big man was clearly somewhat angry.

The surrounding armored soldiers immediately became alert.

They were highly suspicious that the big man had brought people to cause trouble.

Qiao County?!

Only Su Chen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the big man's words!

He looked the burly man up and down.

He was burly and had calloused hands; he was clearly a trained fighter.

And he was born in Qiao County...

"you……"

Just then, Xun Yu was about to speak and refuse the Han.

Su Chen hurriedly stood up and asked:

"Wait a minute."

"Are you Xu Chu?!"

Qiao County, a strong man.

From this information, Su Chen immediately spotted someone!

Xu Chu, the Tiger Fool Xu Chu!

That was a renowned general from the Three Kingdoms period!

His combat strength is comparable to that of Dian Wei.

After Dian Wei's death, he served as the commander of Cao Cao's Tiger Guard Army.

This is an absolute general!

If I guessed correctly.

This trip was definitely worthwhile!

The burly man was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.

He looked Su Chen up and down:

"I am Xu Chu..."

But after saying that, he fell silent.

Instead, she tried her best to recall if she had seen Su Chen somewhere before.

Although Xu Chu was brave, he was definitely not brainless.

Before joining Cao Cao's camp, he was a well-known local strongman in Qiao County.

He has a wide circle of friends.

It's hard to say whether he's ever met Su Chen, but he's forgotten about it.

But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember knowing such a young man.

"Zhongkang, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

Su Chen immediately stepped forward and tried to get closer to him:

"My name is Su Chen, courtesy name Jingming!"

"I'm also from Qiao County, but I've been away from here for many years!"

"Brother Zhongkang, don't you recognize me?"
