C12 Association

In fact, everyone on the drill ground was secretly wiping away their sweat. Even Sun Jian, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, couldn't help but secretly rub his temples.

"Dairong!" Sun Jian had no choice but to stop Zu Mao. Otherwise, Zu Mao would have to perform a striptease.

"My lord!" Only after being shouted at by Sun Jian did Zu Mao regain his composure. He touched the corners of his eyes and actually managed to shed a few drops of tears. Cheng Pu and the rest could not help but feel a chill down their spines, wondering if they had overdone it in the past by winning over Zu Mao.

"Dairong, I remember you saying that you've recruited a new janitor. Is that one of the five?"

Zu Mao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord! Here! It's the thin one! " With that, Zu Mao pointed his finger at any of the returning members of the team.

"Oh?" Sun Jian looked at Chen Ren with interest, supporting his chin with his right hand, while his index finger continuously rubbed against his beard.

At this moment, Chen Ren still didn't know that Sun Jian had developed an interest in him. If he did, he would most likely die from grievance. In order to hide his strength, Chen Ren had just stretched out his arm for the opponent to cut him. Although it was a wooden sabre, it was still painful.

Just as he was about to return to his original position, he suddenly heard an order from the messenger. The competition on the drill grounds had ended. His companions were also baffled. According to the usual practice, they should also have to compete with the other victors. Who knew that today would be the end of the competition.

Returning to his own tent, Chen Ren felt uneasy for some reason. Not long after, Zu Mao came back, and as soon as he came back he went to Chen Ren's tent. It had to be said that Zu Mao was very happy today. After Sun Jian's question, as well as the statements from the other guards, Zu Mao knew that he had won all thanks to Chen Ren. He immediately praised Chen Ren and rewarded him with ten taels of gold. In the end, he wanted Chen Ren to go with him to Chen Liu City tomorrow to join the alliance with Sun Jian.

Ten taels of gold might be an astronomical amount for ordinary soldiers, but it was nothing for Chen Ren. However, the last item that Zu Mao mentioned was extremely alluring to Chen Ren.

Joining the Alliance with Sun Jian! The reason why Chen Ren was doing so much now was to experience the development of history for himself. Think about how many historical figures we'll meet in the Alliance tomorrow. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, right! That's right! And there was also Liu Guan Zhang! Oh my god! No way! Tonight, he must rest well and fully recover!

Here, Chen Ren was too excited to sleep. On the other side, Zu Mao had just come out of Chen Ren's tent and went straight to Sun Jian's tent.

"My lord!" "According to your instructions, I will have that Chen Ren prepare to enter the city with us tomorrow!" As soon as Zu Mao entered, he clasped his fists and said to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian smiled and asked, "You did what I told you, right? Didn't tell him that I wanted him to accompany me? "

"Don't worry, sir!" "Dairong did exactly what his lord told him to do!" Although Zu Mao was an honest and straightforward person, he would do whatever Sun Jian wanted him to. He would not let down the price.

"Good!" I would like to personally see just how capable this Chen Ren actually is! " Sun Jian squinted his eyes and smiled.

Chen Ren was a talented person, and this was something that Sun Jian immediately came to a conclusion after asking Zu Mao about him. Although Sun Jian was not good at strategy, it did not mean that he did not have any advisers. After analyzing it with his subordinates, Sun Jian immediately came to a conclusion: this Chen Ren should be trying to find out if his Sun Jian's bearing was enough to become a loyal target.

Sun Jian was naturally very confident in his bearing, so he asked Zu Mao to bring Chen Ren to him. Didn't you want to observe my bearing? I'll let you stand beside me and observe! Thinking of this, Sun Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Regardless of Sun Jian's misconception, because Chen Ren was too excited, he did not fall asleep until late at night. The next morning, he was kicked awake by Zu Mao.

Chen Ren yawned as he followed Zu Mao to the entrance of the military camp. By this time, Sun Jian and the other three generals had all arrived. Zu Mao mounted his war horse and signaled the sergeant to give Chen Ren a good horse.

Chen Ren recalled that he would soon be able to see many famous historical figures. He was so excited that he didn't notice that Cheng Pu and the other three generals, including Sun Jian himself, didn't have a single soldier with them. He took the reins and jumped onto the horse. Sun Jian was impressed by the agility of the action.

"Let's go!" Sun Jian didn't express his attitude, and only waved his hand in an imposing manner. But who would have thought that Chen Ren was so engrossed in the situation he was about to encounter that he didn't even notice Sun Jian's actions. Sun Jian's act could be said to have been a waste of effort.

Sun Jian's military camp was right next to Chen Liucheng, so the journey wasn't long. In a short while, they entered the city. Chen Liucheng was now Cao Cao's base camp and could be considered quite bustling. However, there had been too many troops stationed here recently, giving the city a solemn atmosphere.

The location of the alliance was the original Chen Liu official's residence. Everyone dismounted from their horses at the entrance of the official residence and walked directly into the residence. There were soldiers leading the way. Arriving at the main hall, he saw that a few people were already seated inside.

"Marquis Wu Cheng, Changsha Emperor, Sun Jian is here!" Sun Jian handed his name card to the soldier at the entrance of the hall, who took it and announced Sun Jian's identity.

"Haha!" Great Guard Sun! Welcome! Welcome! I am Cao Cao Mengde! "Thank you, Sun Te Shou, for coming here for justice!" A short black-faced man walked out from the hall, cupping his hands at Sun Jian, and said while smiling.

Oh my god! This is Cao Cao? This was the future ruler of half of the Central Plains, Cao Cao? This image! This bearing! This, this, this, this is too terrible, isn't it? Chen Ren felt a little dizzy as he stared at the black fatty in front of him. This person in front of him had no way of connecting him with the overlord in Chen Ren's heart. Although Cao Cao was wearing a set of majestic black armor, but compared to Sun Jian, he was far too inferior.

Cao Cao Cao naturally wouldn't know the thoughts of Chen Ren, who was dressed as a soldier, beside Sun Jian. He warmly invited Sun Jian to his seat and introduced him to the other people in the hall. Chen Ren listened attentively, but he could not help but be disappointed. The people present were all unimportant figures, namely Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, Ji Bei, Xiang Xin, and Wang Quang.

"Eastern County's Grand Guard, Tortoise shell!" The soldier at the door shouted again. Cao Cao apologized to Sun Jian, then went to greet Tortoise shell with a smile.

Yet another trump card! Chen Ren couldn't help but sigh, a disappointed expression on his face. Chen Ren didn't know that his expression had been secretly captured by Sun Jian. In reality, Chen Ren's actions had always been the focus of Sun Jian's attention. It was obvious that Chen Ren had come in to observe the various dukes, which made Sun Jian believe even more that Chen Ren was looking for a master. Seeing the disappointed expression on Chen Ren's face, Sun Jian was secretly delighted.

Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Hao, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Zhang Yang, and many other marquis arrived one after another. However, Ma Teng didn't personally come, but instead sent one of his men. Cao Cao kept waving at the crowd, but it was all thanks to Cao Cao's ability that none of them were ignored.

"Marquis Qi Xiang, the BoHai Protector, Yuan Shao, has arrived!" All the dukes present rose to their feet with the soldier's shout. Yuan Shao's reputation was too great, or to be more accurate, the Yuan Family's reputation was too great. Fourth generation, third generation, the Yuan Family's students filled the world, while Yuan Shao was the Yuan Family's most famous person of his generation.

As everyone stood up to greet him, the handsome and magnificent Yuan Shao, wearing a suit of golden armor, stood at the entrance of the main hall. He cupped his fists towards everyone in the main hall and walked in without a word. Cao Cao stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao with a smile, "Ben Chu! Long time no see! "

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and smiled, "Meng De! Don't get it wrong! I am not here for you, I am here for the justice of the world! " Yuan Shao purposefully raised his voice when he said the last sentence, making him seem especially dignified.

Cao Cao didn't seem to be surprised by Yuan Shao's performance, so he invited him to join the chairman. Chen Ren looked at Cao Cao and then at Yuan Shao and thought to himself, "How can people fight like this?" Look at how handsome Yuan Shao is, and look at how you're acting, you're obviously not on the same level! If he remembered correctly, back then He Jin didn't listen to Cao Cao's words at all, and instead listened to Yuan Shao's every word. Was this really a question of appearance?

Chen Ren's repeated glances at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's actions made Sun Jian's heart flutter. Sun Jian never thought that Yuan Shao would have such elegance, fearing that Yuan Shao would subdue Chen Ren, but he couldn't say it out loud. Sun Jian's heart was filled with anxiety!

"Meng De!" "How many are left?" Without any hesitation, Yuan Shao sat down on the chair and the moment he sat down, he asked Cao Cao who was sitting beside him.

Cao Cao looked at the people sitting in the hall and thought to himself, "There is also Gongsun Gui and Yuetao who have not arrived yet."

Just as Cao Cao's voice faded away, the soldier's loud voice sounded again from outside the door, "Grand Guard Beiping, Gongsun Zeng has arrived!"

"Haha!" Just as I mentioned Brother Bo Qi, Brother Bo Qi arrived! " Cao Cao quickly stepped forward to welcome him.

"Hahahaha!" It is my fault that I have been keeping you waiting for so long! Beg your pardon! "Please excuse me!" A straightforward voice rang out and a row of five people appeared at the entrance. Chen Ren craned his neck and looked over. His concern was not Gongsun Zan, but the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, who were behind Gongsun Zan.

"Ah!" Chen Ren didn't look worried, but upon seeing him clearly, he was dumbfounded. "Why is he here?
