While he was thinking that, Lu Su came forward after finishing his talk with Jia Xu and Sun Qian and asked Lie Fan for some off days as he wanted to escort the crop to his granaries and pick up his grandma to stay at Xiapi, and Lie Fan who has this immediately agree even assigning two of his bodyguards to keep Lu Su's Grandma safe, Lu Su was grateful hearing this and swore that he would repay Lie Fan's kindness with all of his talent.
In Lu Su's eyes, Lie Fan's personal bodyguards consisted of strong individuals and they were a very important part of Lie Fan and his family's safety, as he had also heard of their fame which was known for always standing behind Lie Fan everywhere he went.
Lie Fan gave a small laugh and said to Lu Su that he didn't need to swear an oath, as he believed that Lu Su would do his best to help him achieve his dream.
After that Lie Fan turned to Zhou Chang and Bo Cai who were on his side and whispered to them to inform Zhang Mancheng and Guan Hai to pick 100 men from the Tian Mao Battalion to then escort Lu Su when he returned to his hometown with the grains and to pick up his grandmother.
Zhou Chang and Bo Cai nodded their head receiving the order and then turned toward each other who would convey this order to Zhang Mancheng and Guan Hai, finally, they decided Bo Cai would be the one informing the two of them.
Seeing the leaving Bo Cai, Lu Su turned to Lie Fan wanted to ask who would accompany him from Lie Fan's rank of bodyguards, because he remembered that Lie Fan had 9 personal bodyguards at his disposal.
Lie Fan told Lu Su that his two bodyguards would come to him, so he only needed to inform him of the date and time of his leaving for his hometown, and his bodyguards alongside their men would wait for him in the Southern Gate of Xiapi.
Hearing this Lu Su nodded his head and said his gratitude to Lie Fan, then he informed that he would leave for his hometown in 3 days in the morning time.
The reason is so that he could arrive at his hometown in the morning, where he then could help his grandmother in preparing for their move and the next day they headed to Xiapi.
Lie Fan who wanted to reply to Lu Eu's words was interrupted by a guard who came in, informing Lie Fan that Zhao Yun was asking for his permission to enter the main hall as he wanted to see him.
This caught Lie Fan by surprise momentarily but then he told the guards to allow Zhao Yun to enter, where he then turned to Lu Su apologizing for the intrusion and Lu Su said that it was not a problem.
When Zhao Yun entered the main hall, he greeted everyone in the room and passed for a moment when he saw Lu Su he didn't know Lu Su's name, so he greeted him and introduced himself to Lu Su.
Lu Su returned the greeting and introduced himself to Zhao Yun, where Lu Su also took a deep look at Zhao Yun who had a strong aura radiating from him, causing Lu Su to indicate that Zhao Yun was one of Lie Fan's strong generals that he hadn't know yet.
Lie Fan: "Brother Zilong what a surprise, what's the reason you want to see me today?"
Zhao Yun: "Lord Lie Fan the reason I wanted to meet you is that I want to ask if I can help General Mi Fang in teaching his battalion that will serve as your new battalion?"
Lie Fan: "Of course Brother Zilong you can do so, but I don't know if Mi Fang will agree with this or have you asked him about this? Because it does concern my private safety, people who weren't part of my retainers I don't know if it will be allowed by them."
Zhao Yun: "I see, I haven't asked General Mi Fang yet about this because I wanted to ask for Lord Lie Fan's permission first, since it was like that then I will ask General Mi Fang."
Lie Fan: "It doesn't have to be that complicated Brother Zilong, there's an easy way for you to be involved in many matters since you have been involved in many duties in my administration, how about joining under me as one of my generals?"
Lie Fan wanted to use this chance to finally extend his innovation to Zhao Yun because he has stayed for a long time in Xiapi and has been involved in many things, he could be said to be part of Lie Fan's retainers without name.
Zhao Yun hearing what Lie Fan said was surprised at first, but then he thought about how he had been involved in many things while staying in Xiapi, the biggest one was accompanying Lie Fan to the Sun Clan's capital.
Zhao Yun feels comfortable and pleased working with Lie Fan's retainers, the atmosphere under Lie Fan's leadership was very good whereas Lie Fan was strict but he was a very easygoing person.
Under Lie Fan, you can also innovate many things as long as you report it first to Lie Fan, especially if it is a dangerous innovation to do or contains some high level secret that no one without authorization could know.
Like Lie Fan's warships, no one knew about this until Lie Fan decided to show it to the world during the battle against Liu Yao and the battle for Jiangxia, where he decimated the navies of his opposition.
Lastly, Lie Fan treated everyone from a grassroots background to a noble background the same, of course, some nepotism is still being done but all people who go through it were very talented, and not people who don't have any talent whatsoever.
He remembered Gongsun Zan's words for him to search for a Lord that his heart could accept fully just like when he served him, and even though he wanted to see Liu Bei as he had known him during the time when Liu Bei visited Gongsun Zan, he feels that Lie Fan was a better choice to be his new Lord.
Of course, he needs time to be sure of the decision that he currently holds in his heart so he told Lie Fan that he will inform him of his answer tomorrow after he has some talk with Mi Fang concerning training his battalion alongside him.
Lie Fan hearing this news nodded his head, he informed Zhao Yun to take all the time he needed, and if he decided to refuse he wouldn't have to worry as he could stay as long as he wanted to in Xiapi until he had a destination he had in mind.
Zhao Yun thanked Lie Fan for his kindness and took his leave as he wanted to see Mi Fang as soon as he could, Lie Fan nodded his head permitting him and Zhao Yun immediately took his leave.
With this done, Lie Fan then ended his meeting with Lu Su who wanted to prepare to go back to his hometown, and with that the day passed in the blink of an eye and Lie Fan was accompanying Lu Lingqi in his garden at the Lie Clan Estate.
He has decided to take some days off to accompany his loved ones and decided to spend the first day with Lu Lingqi. Parents from both sides know about their relationship and have even decided on their wedding date, so Lie Fan can spend his time with Lu Lingqi openly.
At this time when Lie Fan and Lu Lingqi spend their time together, Zhao Yun arrives at the Lie Clan estate to meet with Lie Fan and gives him the answer that he owes to Lie Fan.
But knowing that Lie Fan was spending his time with Lu Lingqi, he wanted to leave and come back in the evening but before he left he met with Ying Yue alongside Diao Chan who was heading toward the play care room.
Seeing Zhao Yun, the two of them asked if he wanted to meet with Lie Fan, and Zhao Yun said yes but he would come back in the evening as he knew that Lie Fan was spending some private time with Lu Lingqi.
Ying Yue remembered yesterday that if Zhao Yun ever came looking for him, Lie Fan told them to inform him as soon as possible because it was an important matter.
Ying Yue and Diao Chan turned to face each other, and both of them saw how the two remembered Lie Fan's words, so they informed Zhao Yun and said that he didn't need to feel embarrassed disturbing Lie Fan's time, as he was waiting for his visit.
Zhao Yun nodded his head and felt touched that Lie Fan prioritized him to such a degree, so he waited for Lie Fan in the main hall of the Lie Clan estate for a few minutes before he heard footsteps approaching the hall.
Then he saw Lie Fan enter the main hall, where he took the main seat while greeting Zhao Yun on his way. After taking his seat, Lie Fan then asked Zhao Yun for the reason for his visit.
Zhao Yun: "Lord Lie Fan should have known the reason for my visit, I wanted to give my answer to Lord Lie Fan's invitation before."
Lie Fan: "Haha both of my wives must have told you about me waiting for your arrival. Well then let's hear it, what is your answer?"
Zhao Yun: "After meeting with General Mi Fang yesterday to ask about instructing and teaching his new battalion, I have spent the rest of the day thinking about my decision about your invitation to me, I have decided to accept your invitation, Zhao Yun has seen My Lord!"
Lie Fan: "Haha! Having Brother Zilong join me is like having additional wings to my military tiger, now I can say proudly that in the land only I have four mighty generals with unparalleled prowess! Haha!"
Lie Fan was ecstatic hearing that Zhao Yun accepted his invitation, he let out a loud laugh and stood up from his seat while approaching Zhao Yun who had kneeled down while swearing his allegiance, helping Zhao Yun to stand up while saying those words while patting Zhao Yun on the shoulder, while Zhao Yun was delighted and honored hearing the words Lie Fan have just said.
