Chapter 112

Therefore, in order to stay out of it, this meeting tonight took place.

It was to distance himself in advance.

This was easy to understand.

Meeting Jia Xu's gaze, Duan Yu nodded with a bitter smile.

Jia Xu took a deep breath, raised his wine cup to Duan Yu, and said: "Since Young Master Duan understands, there is no need for me to say anything more."

"It's just that if there is any mishap after entering the mountains, don't blame me in the future."

"I have already informed Young Master Duan."

Saying this, Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Duan Yu with cupped hands.

A standard, respectful bow.

"I came to visit rashly; I hope Young Master Duan will forgive me for the disturbance."

Raising his wine cup, Jia Xu said: "Let this cup of wine serve as an apology to Young Master Duan."

After drinking it in one gulp, Jia Xu stepped aside, ready to leave.

"Oh, by the way, I've already paid for this pot of wine; the rest..."

"I haven't touched, and I'm short on money, so I can't pay for Young Master Duan."

"I bid you farewell."

Duan Yu: "......"

Why is it that since time-traveling, the great people I've met have all been so full of character?

Gao Shun is one, and now here comes Jia Xu.

Watching Jia Xu about to walk out the door.

Duan Yu stood up abruptly.

Are you kidding me?

A top-tier strategist of the Three Kingdoms is right in front of me.

How could I just let him leave?

"Brother Jia, please stay!"

Watching Jia Xu about to walk out the door, Duan Yu stood up to stop him.

Jia Xu paused, turned around in confusion, and looked at Duan Yu: "Young Master Duan, is there anything else?"

Duan Yu nodded with a smile and said: "It's late, and Brother Jia probably has nothing to do if you go home now."

"Besides, I've already ordered the dishes; why don't you sit down and have two drinks?"

"Of course, my treat!"

Duan Yu emphasized the words 'my treat' heavily.

Jia Xu raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and said: "Reason?"

Anyone with great talent must be eccentric in some aspects.

Gao Shun's personality was upright and rigid.

Jia Xu was the same.

The smarter a person is, the more they know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Jia Xu was a master of this.

One could tell from the way Jia Xu did things and his various behaviors to protect himself.

"Since Brother Jia chose to see me today, it must not have been on a whim."

Duan Yu sat down slowly, picked up the wine pot to pour himself a cup, and then filled the empty cup he had just placed in front of Jia Xu.

"And you saw me and said so much, which means Brother Jia doesn't think I'm a fool."

"Since that's the case, why not sit down and have a drink?"

Jia Xu raised an eyebrow, remained silent for a moment, then turned around slowly and walked back to the table.

Seeing Jia Xu return, Duan Yu immediately smiled.

"Brother Jia, please sit."

"I have two things I want to say to Brother Jia," Duan Yu said unhurriedly.

Jia Xu sat down slowly, but didn't pick up the wine cup in front of him, instead looking straight at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu didn't feel awkward and said: "Brother Jia came to find me today, definitely thinking that my bandit suppression tomorrow will likely fail, but that I should be able to come back alive."

"So, Brother Jia visited to avoid being implicated after my failure."

"I wonder if Brother Jia thinks I'm right?"

Jia Xu nodded noncommittally.

"Then how about this," Duan Yu reached out and pushed Jia Xu's wine cup closer.

"Let's make a bet."

Jia Xu frowned: "I don't like gambling."

"But this time, we're betting on the future, on what's to come."

"Betting on your future, Brother Jia," Duan Yu said with a smile, looking at Jia Xu.

"Mine?"

Jia Xu was confused.

He only came today to protect himself.

How did Duan Yu get entangled?

And he wanted to bet on his future?

Jia Xu, becoming more and more curious, wanted to hear how exactly he wanted to bet.

"How do we bet?" Jia Xu asked.

Watching Jia Xu gradually take the bait, Duan Yu began to laugh in his heart.

No one is indifferent to their own future, not even Jia Xu.
