"Are you still thinking about your relatives at home?" Lu Bu asked Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen casually.

Zhong Liping in the cell raised his head and looked at Lu Bu's slightly tender face and the maturity that completely dissatisfied with his tenderness. However, he seemed to think of something that troubled him. He immediately remained silent and looked a little depressed. Ji Wen, who was sitting in the cell next to him, just sighed lightly, which seemed to be more open to this kind of problem than Zhong Liping.

Lu Bu saw all this, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Asking a prisoner who lost his freedom whether he missed his family was like asking a traveler who was extremely thirsty and needed water. Instead, it would deepen the traveler's demand for water. In Lu Bu's view, his question may arouse Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen's desire for freedom, and thus open up the two of them's firm resistance.

Although Lu Bu's method was a little "despicable", it has to be said that this method really worked. Under Lu Bu's deliberate guidance, Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen both expressed part of their thoughts to Lu Bu, a boy who seemed to be about the same age as their children.

"Haha, the two of you are indeed admired by your loyalty to the State of Chu. However, as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live on, wise ministers choose masters to serve. Scholars die for confidants, and women tolerate them to please them. According to the following, the two of you are at least much stronger than Xiong Bing, the guards of Yanling City, guarding the city of Yanling City. However, the fact is that the two are abandoned by Xiong Bing and do not use their talents, and they are in vain. Is this worthy of your continued loyalty?

King Qin and General Li Xin valued the position of deputy general of the Chu when they were young, and they believed that their talents were worthy of the current responsibilities. But if they were in other countries, they would be still an unknown person at the bottom.

It was also because the Qin King knew people and made good use of the current Qin State that he had the power to annex the world. Look at the important civil and military ministers in the Qin Dynasty today, among which there are some talented people from other countries. Who has ever said anything about them? If the two can change their ideas and submit to their subordinates, although they are not talented, they dare to guarantee that they can use the talents they bear at least, and they will never waste their talents in vain." After initially establishing a relationship with Zhongliping and Ji Wen, Lu Bu began to further "tempt" the two Chu generals with a sincere expression.

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Ji Wen had already had some intentions. Ji Wen, who was already very dissatisfied with the aristocratic class in Chu who occupied the high-level positions, did not have much resistance to Lu Bu's "temptation". However, he saw that his friend Zhong Liping was silent all the time, Ji Wen temporarily suppressed his thoughts, hoping to wait until his friend Zhong Liping made his own choice and say the thoughts in his heart.

Zhong Liping was not actually very loyal to the State of Chu, but what he had to consider was more complicated than Ji Wen, because the paranormal who was teaching Zhong Liping's son Zhong Limei seemed to be a person from the Shouchun Palace of Chu. Although the paranormal once said that he was only loyal to the Chu royal family and not a royal family, Zhong Liping was worried that if he joined the Qin army, how would he face his son trained by a paranormal from the Palace of Chu in the future.

"Is it because General Zhongli has any concerns? Why not say it out and let General Ji and General Zhongli relieve their worries?" The careful Lu Bu had already seen a rough idea from the different expressions of the two. He knew that as long as Zhongli Ping is convinced, he would probably gain two talents who are loyal to him today.

Zhongliping took a deep breath and whispered the troubles in his heart. However, Lu Bu, who heard the name Zhonglimei, who was familiar with in his memory for the first time, looked at Zhongliping, who had given birth to an excellent son, in his heart.

‘I didn’t expect that Zhongliping was the biological father of Zhonglimei, a talented general who shone brightly in the battle for hegemony in the Chu-Han Dynasty! If Zhongliping could be brought under his command, wouldn’t it mean that Zhonglimei, the future talent of my general, could not escape from my Lu Bu’s palm?’

Thinking of this, Lu Bu began to think for a while, and after a while, Lu Bu asked Zhongliping: "Didn't you say that the paradise was just loyal to the royal family of Chu? Then do you know how old the paradise was?"

After thinking for a while, Zhong Liping replied with some uncertainty: "The age of that master is not completely certain, but seeing that his hair is not gray, at most he will not be over forty years."

"So, the paradise mentioned by General Zhongli had left the Chu Palace when he was in his prime? Haha, although he didn't know how he thought about it, since he had left the Chu Palace early, he thought he had no right to let his disciples serve all his loyalty to a royal family that would fall for the rest of his life." Lu Bu pointed out directly that Zhong Liping's concerns were actually unnecessary.

"This is also..." Although Zhong Liping agreed with Lu Bu's point of view, a trace of sorrow was still floating on his eyebrows. This was not that Zhong Liping was still worried about the previous problem, but that he suddenly remembered that if he and Ji Wen surrendered to the young man in front of him today, would he be used in the upcoming battle against the Chu army? Now that Zhong Liping was asked to swing a sharp sword against the soldiers of the Chu army, Zhong Liping could not do it.

When Lu Bu saw Zhongli Ping, he was still a little worried. He knew that he could not break through Zhongli Ping's psychological defense today. However, this time the conversation with Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen had a great harvest. Lu Bu believed that it would not be too difficult to conquer Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen, the two generals on the battlefield, when they meet again next time.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu stood up, patted the dust behind him, bowed to Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen in the cell and smiled: "Maybe it's too reluctant for you to make a choice now. I think it's better to wait until the war is over and discuss this matter with you. The environment here is not good, but I can only temporarily aggrieved you. Lu Bu said goodbye first after the busy military service."

Looking at Lu Bu's leaving back, Zhong Liping seemed to have put down the big stone in his heart and breathed a deep breath. However, Ji Wen, as Zhong Liping's friend, looked at the unbearable prison environment around him, and was really a little confused. So Ji Wen simply threw his body into the weeds in the cell. Compared to falling asleep, he had the awareness of being invisible to the eyes~~
