"The spirit realm's laws have always warned us not to reveal our identities as non-natives. We have to fabricate an identity. Since your job advancement mission is to come into contact with Guan Yu or Zhao Yun, we'll set our ancestral homes as fellow townsmen of those two generals. "

Bai Xiaowen had previously collected information. A rough map of the Eastern Han's thirteen prefectures flashed through his mind. He said, "My ancestral home is the Si Li Commandery, Jieliang County of Hedong Commandery. It's the same hometown as Guan Yu. Your ancestral home is Ji Prefecture, Zhending County of Changshan Commandery. It's the same hometown as Zhao Yun. "

Li Shuyi thought for a moment, then said softly, "Won't our accents give us away?"

In the Three Kingdoms plane, the thirteen prefectures in the central plains were very vast. The accents of each major prefecture were different. Although the spirit realm's laws transformed the language into the common tongue, the accents were the same as the two's — Xuzhou's.

It was a good idea to pretend to be fellow townsmen in front of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, but it would be awkward if they were seen through.

Bai Xiaowen had already thought about it. "We'll just say that our ancestral homes are in Hedong and Changshan, and that our parents fled to Xuzhou. For the sake of convenience, we'll set our relationship as sworn brother and sister. "

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, women rarely showed themselves in public, let alone on the battlefield. However, the Three Kingdoms plane was very different. Valiant female generals could be found everywhere. Li Shuyi's identity as a woman wouldn't cause her to be discriminated against, nor would it increase the difficulty of the test.

Bai Xiaowen's identity as brother and sister was more convenient than that of husband and wife.

After the discussion, Li Shuyi said, "Right now, the army outside Xuzhou is bearing down on us. The city gates are under martial law. How are we going to leave the city?"

"Go to the Provincial Governor's Mansion."

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for two commoners to enter the Provincial Governor's Mansion.

Bai Xiaowen spoke without thinking, trying to hoodwink the gatekeeper.

"My brother and sister were taught by a strange person. We learned special techniques and are good at controlling demonic corpse tigers and leopards. We heard that Xuzhou was besieged by the Yellow Turban Bandits, so we came to help. This is the proof that I have killed the Yellow Turban Army bandits. Please present it to Daren. "

Bai Xiaowen had spoken these words in the vernacular. After being converted by the rules of the Spirit Realm, they were automatically converted into classical language. His tone and emotions were imitated to perfection.

In the face of the "righteous man" who killed the Yellow Turban Bandits, the gatekeeper did not dare to neglect him. He took the "Waist Token of the Yellow Turban Army Sergeant" and hurried in.

Not long after, the low-ranking official appeared, followed by a middle-aged scholar in his thirties.

"Two righteous men, the Provincial Governor isn't feeling well and can't meet you personally. He specially sent me to receive the two of you. Please come with me to another courtyard for a chat. "

The middle-aged scholar naturally spoke in classical Chinese, but to Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, it sounded like modern Chinese.

The two of them followed the middle-aged scholar into the courtyard. Bai Xiaowen secretly used Insight.

[Mi Zhu (Boss Level 3)/Challenge Rating: 8]

[Skill 1: Focus; Skill 2: Firm Defense; Skill 3:???] [Skill 4:???]

After entering the courtyard, the two of them took their seats.

Mi Zhu's smile was gentle, and his words were like a spring breeze. "It's commendable that two righteous men are willing to step forward at such a difficult time. I apologize on behalf of the Provincial Governor. If not for his illness, he would have personally received the two of you. "

Bai Xiaowen knew that the Provincial Governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian, did not appear because the two of them did not contribute much. After all, it was just a Yellow Turban Army sergeant's waist token. The Provincial Governor did not care about it at all. If Bai Xiaowen was willing to take out Ji Ming's notebook, the Provincial Governor would probably treat it with more importance.

However, it was already good that the Provincial Governor was willing to send someone else to receive them. In modern times, someone else would be the secretary of the Provincial Governor and Provincial Party Committee.

Both of them used their names. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi both hid the second character in their names and used the pseudonyms of Bai Wen and Li Shuyi.

Mi Zhu said, "Are the two righteous men thinking of joining the army? If Little Brother Bai wants to join the army, I can recommend you to General Zang Ba. "

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. If they joined Zang Ba's army, with their current contributions, they would at most be given the position of sergeant or sergeant. How would they be able to complete their mission?

"Sir Mi, I took the liberty to request an audience with you in order to solve Xuzhou's predicament. Now that reinforcements have arrived, why hasn't Xuzhou made a move yet? As long as we work together, the Yellow Turban Bandits won't be able to resist. "

Mi Zhu said in surprise, "Little Brother Bai knows that reinforcements have arrived? That's right, Duke Xuande's reinforcements are confronting the Yellow Turban Bandits outside the city. However, the Yellow Turban Bandits are too powerful. The Provincial Governor wanted to open the city to welcome Duke Xuande, but he was afraid that the Yellow Turban Bandits would take advantage of the situation to attack. Moreover, the hundred thousand Yellow Turban Bandits have already surrounded the city. It's difficult to even report to Duke Xuande, let alone work together. "

Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "Although I'm not from Xuzhou, I grew up here. This place can be considered half of my hometown. I'm willing to take a token to leave the city and break through the Yellow Turban Bandits to contact Duke Xuande. "

Mi Zhu said in surprise, "Little Brother Bai's generosity makes me blush with shame. Leave the matter of the token to me. "

Notification:

"Side Mission: Breaking Out."

"Mission Objective: Break through the Yellow Turban Bandits' encirclement and find Liu Bei."

"Mission Time Limit: 24 hours."

"Mission Difficulty: A-."

"You've received a mission item: Xuzhou City Passage Token x2. This token can only be used by one person. "

"Your reputation with the Tao Qianjun Army is now at: Friendly."

"The Tao Qianjun Army's high-ranking official, Mi Zhu's, favorability with you has increased to: Normal."

Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen. Apparently, he had also received this mission. Bai Xiaowen nodded to let her accept it, then said to Mi Zhu, "Lord Mi, my brother and I are nothing. Even if we meet Duke Xuande, I'm afraid we won't be able to win his trust. Could Lord Mi write a letter for me to pass to Duke Xuande? "

Mi Zhu and Liu Bei were like-minded and had followed Liu Bei throughout history. He was Liu Bei's biggest financial backer. On one hand, Bai Xiaowen did this to test the waters. On the other hand, writing a letter as a stepping stone would be beneficial for him and Li Shuyi's subsequent missions.

Mi Zhu frowned and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Little Brother Bai, but I can't agree to this request. It's actually very simple to win Duke Xuande's trust. All you have to do is kill a few more Yellow Turban Bandits. "

Bai Xiaowen inwardly muttered that scholars were black-hearted, but it made sense when he thought about it. The two of them came with a Yellow Turban Army corporal waist token, which meant they weren't highly regarded. Mi Zhu might even be suspicious. What if the two of them were Yellow Turban spies? Therefore, it was impossible for Mi Zhu to give them a token or a letter.

Actually, Bai Xiaowen didn't think it was possible for him to ask for a token or a letter from Mi Zhu since Mi Zhu's favorability was only at Normal. He then said, "Lord Mi, I have a presumptuous request. My brother and I have some damaged weapons, and we don't have the money to repair them. Moreover, the materials for Nanjiang's special techniques are quite expensive … Could you give us some gold and silver as military supplies? "
