Yin Yue felt a little better after hearing this, but still said with some grievance!
“Husband, could it be that the novelty has worn off, and you no longer find Yue'er appealing?”
“Otherwise, if you start taking concubines less than a month after our marriage, it shows that my looks no longer hold any interest for you.”
Liu Jin patted his forehead upon hearing this, finally understanding why Yin Yue was sad.
It wasn’t that she didn’t allow him to take concubines; it was just that starting to do so right after their marriage would indicate that she was not favored in the household.
So, Liu Jin comforted her while explaining the matter of going to the Zhen Family!
After hearing all of this, Yin Yue's somewhat aggrieved expression slowly disappeared, and she resumed her cute and docile demeanor.
She nodded gently and said softly!
“So, Husband had an unspeakable difficulty. However, your help to Zhen Yi shows that you are a person who values loyalty and righteousness.”
“Yue'er still very much approves.”
Liu Jin heard this and, with a righteous expression, said loudly!
“Of course, your husband is famously loyal and righteous. Seeing a good friend pass away, it's only natural to lend a hand to preserve the Zhen Family’s property.”
Yin Yue nodded obediently, looking at Liu Jin with eyes full of admiration.
After coaxing the little girl, Liu Jin's smile became even brighter.
After a few casual chats, Liu Jin left the place.
Because there was still an important matter: the talent he desperately needed, the famous general of Shu in history, Zhao Zilong of Changshan Commandery.
The most important thing was that Zhao Yun was loyal and righteous, with a brave and upright heart. As long as he was recruited and treated with sincerity, he would never betray him in this life.
Moreover, his martial arts skills could rank among the top three in the Three Kingdoms, on par with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others.
He also happened to be from Zhengding County, Changshan Commandery, so since he was here, Liu Jin naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
He soon arrived at a military tent on one side. Cheng Pu, who was sitting there, quickly stood up and said respectfully!
“Marquis.”
Liu Jin nodded, and after a moment of thought, immediately asked!
“De Mou, you have been in Zhengding, Changshan Commandery, for so long. Do you know if there are any Zhao Family Villages in the surrounding area?”
Cheng Pu heard this and couldn't help but scratch his head, looking a bit confused, not knowing why his Marquis was asking about the surrounding Zhao Family Villages.
However, he didn't hide anything and said!
“Reporting to Marquis, there are quite a few Zhao Family Villages around Zhengding. Which Zhao Family Village are you looking for?”
Liu Jin's brows furrowed upon hearing this. Although Zhengding County was just a county, it had a hundred thousand common people and several hundred villages.
There were probably dozens, if not a hundred, so-called Zhao Family Villages.
Finding Zhao Yun would likely take a lot of time.
After a moment of silence, Liu Jin's voice continued!
“De Mou, the person I want you to find is named Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong. I only know that he is from Changshan Commandery, Zhengding, but I don't know which village he is in.”
“Just use this name and send people to search for him in the Zhao Family Villages.”
Cheng Pu nodded upon hearing this and immediately prepared to send people to search.
Suddenly, he paused, as if the name sounded familiar. After a moment of thought, his eyes lit up.
He quickly stopped and whispered to the side!
“Marquis, I seem to have some impression of this Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong.”
Liu Jin heard this and let out a slight “Oh,” asking in confusion!
“Have you heard of him?”
One must know that Zhao Yun was not famous at this time; he could be considered an unknown person.
He would only appear under Gongsun Zan a few years later, merely a minor general among the White Horse Yìcóng.
Cheng Pu quickly nodded and said with a smile!
“Marquis, not only have I heard of this Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, I have also met him. I just don't know if he is the exact same person as the one the Marquis mentioned.”
Liu Jin's face lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly asked!
“Is this person from Changshan Commandery, Zhengding?”
Cheng Pu quickly nodded!
“This person is indeed from Changshan Commandery, Zhengding, and he is even in my army, serving as a Tuncun.”
“When I first came to garrison Zhengding, there were some vacancies in the establishment, so I recruited soldiers and expanded the troop source.”
“This Zhao Yun was recruited at that time. He gained some small fame upon entering the military camp, mainly because he was fair-skinned and handsome, leading many old soldiers in the army to mistake him for a woman and occasionally tease him.”
“Although fair-skinned, this person's martial arts were extraordinary. Several burly men in the army were not his match, so he was promoted to a squad leader.”
“Over the past few months, after several clean-up operations against mountain bandits in the commandery, Zhao Yun performed exceptionally well, so he was promoted several times and now serves as a Tuncun, commanding a hundred men.”
After hearing this, Liu Jin was ten-tenths certain that this person was the Changshan Zhao Yun he was looking for.
After all, he had the same name, was from Changshan Commandery, Zhengding, was handsome, and possessed extraordinary martial arts skills; all the conditions matched.
Without any hesitation, his eyes filled with excitement, and he quickly asked!
“Where is this person now? Bring him over quickly; I want to meet him.”
After saying this, Liu Jin waved his hand again and continued!
“Never mind.”
“Just take me to him.”
Cheng Pu was full of doubts upon hearing this, wondering why his Marquis valued this small Tuncun so much, but he dared not neglect the order.
He quickly led the way, taking Liu Jin towards the other side of the military camp.
A moment later, on a training ground, over a hundred soldiers stood in neat formation, holding long spears and undergoing rigorous training.
After Cheng Pu brought Liu Jin here, he looked at the leading general in front, quickly pointed at him, and said from the side!
“Marquis, that person is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong.”
Liu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the person at the front.
His face was fair, his appearance handsome, and there was extraordinary bravery between his brows, emanating a masculine aura.
He indeed bore a ninety percent resemblance to the Zhao Yun in his mind.
He then looked at the over one hundred soldiers, who were neat and orderly, standing tall, exuding a powerful and elite presence.
Evidently, they had been frequently drilled to allow these hundred-plus men in the army to possess such a powerful presence. Just based on this, this Zhao Yun was absolutely no ordinary person.
Liu Jin nodded slightly and said loudly!
“This Zhao Yun in front of me should be the person I am looking for.”
Cheng Pu heard this and nodded with a smile, immediately ordering his personal guards to go and summon Zhao Yun.
A moment later, two soldiers approached Zhao Yun and briefly explained the situation.
Zhao Yun heard this, and his gaze turned towards Liu Jin's direction, a hint of excitement appearing on his calm face.
He hadn't expected the Marquis to be looking for him. Daring not to delay, he quickly put aside the training and walked quickly towards them.
Upon arriving beside Liu Jin and Cheng Pu, he immediately bowed and said loudly!
“Greetings, Marquis! Greetings, General!”
