Chapter 62: Out-of-City Transactions
The boy's voice was quite crisp, and it sounded like it didn't want to be a teenager's voice.
However, at this time, Liu Zheng didn't pay attention to these, but just glanced at the young man who spoke.
Wearing a suit of armor, he was not tall, a little shorter than him, but his face was delicate, and he looked a little beautiful, not like the burly man that a boy should have.
"You are from the Cai family?"
Although he felt that something was wrong, Liu Zheng didn't think much about it, he was more concerned about the boxes behind them, which contained the gold and pig iron he needed.
"Yes, I am the person sent by the Cai family, this general, you must be the famous Liu Zheng."
The young man looked in front of these people who came out of Runan City, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Zheng.
After Liu Zheng opened his mouth, the young man also said a word to Liu Zheng, and recognized Liu Zheng's identity at a glance.
This surprised Liu Zheng, and he immediately looked at the young man with curiosity.
"You recognize me? Am I famous? It's just a nobody. ”
"If you defeat Qin Jie's Taishou and kill Zhu Jun, one of the three major generals, can only be regarded as nobodies, then there will be no celebrities in this world."
After hearing Liu Zheng's words, the young man refuted Liu Zheng without thinking.
Liu Zheng was even more surprised when he heard his words, but he could understand that after all, it had been several days since he defeated Qin Jie and killed Zhu Jun.
He occupied Runan City, and the news had already spread throughout Runan County, and naturally the killing of Zhu Jun had already spread throughout Jingzhou, and even all nearby states and counties.
I'm afraid that now the emperor of Luoyang and Zhang Jiao of Jizhou already know the news.
Liu Zheng can also be regarded as famous, so that more people know that there is a number one person like him in this world, but this is not good news. He killed Zhu Jun, a lieutenant general, but he was on the official army's must-kill list.
The next road is becoming more and more difficult, at least it is unlikely to defect to the imperial court, and you can only go to the dark with the Yellow Turban Army, these anti-thieves.
"It seems that I have become a celebrity, but I'm afraid I'm not a celebrity, I'm a villain."
Liu Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly.
"The general laughed, Nanyang originally only had Zhang Mancheng, a big thief, but now your name has surpassed Zhang Mancheng, and your future is limitless."
The young man looked at Liu Zheng and said a word to Liu Zheng respectfully, although it was a little bit of a sycophant, but Liu Zheng also understood that they definitely wanted to please Liu Zheng at this time.
After all, Cai Mao's life is still in his hands, and they have to brag Liu Zheng in order to save Cai Mao.
"Okay, stop talking this nonsense, did you bring what I wanted?"
Liu Zheng responded to the young man, who took two steps back, and then stretched out his hand and opened one of the wooden boxes.
The wooden box was opened, and a golden light shone inside, shining out, and gold ingots were neatly placed.
Liu Zheng didn't count the gold ingots carefully, but with a glance at these boxes, he could probably understand that the number should not be much worse.
"Well, well, send someone to bring things to the city."
Liu Zheng didn't even bother to check, so he said directly to the young man.
"Wait!"
When the young man saw that Liu Zheng wanted to collect money, he immediately spoke up and stopped Liu Zheng's actions.
Let Liu Zheng turn his head at this young man, and look at this person again curiously.
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"I can give you money, but what about us, Lord Cai Mao?"
"Heh, it turned out that I was anxious about your Cai Mao, don't worry that he's fine."
"The rules are like this, I have to see whether my family is dead or alive, I can't just give you a letter, let us obediently hand over the money to you!"
Until now, Liu Zheng has never let Cai Mao come out, and the people of the Cai family have not seen Cai Mao alive, so it is inevitable that they will have some scruples in their hearts, so it is reasonable to do this.
After Liu Zheng heard the other party's words, he also nodded, did not embarrass them, turned around and glanced at Zhou Cang, and gestured to Zhou Cang.
"Zhou Cang, go and bring Cai Mao over."
"Yes, Qu Shuai."
Zhou Cang immediately walked to the dungeon, and it didn't take long for Cai Mao to be brought over, although he was still wearing the same clothes as when he was arrested before.
But his body was quite embarrassed, and he hadn't taken a good shower for more than ten days, exuding a sour and smelly nausea.
As soon as Cai Mao saw these people from the Cai family outside the city, his face immediately showed a hint of joy, but the distance was relatively far, and Cai Mao did not rush over.
The small life is still in the hands of Liu Zheng and these Yellow Turban Army, and Cai Mao does not dare to act rashly.
The young man outside the city quickly glanced at Cai Mao from a distance, and his nervous heart finally calmed down a little.
"Okay, you also saw the people, the things are sent in, people, you can take them."
Liu Zheng was also refreshed, and he didn't intend to embarrass these Cai families, although he was a thief of the Yellow Turban Army, but he would still abide by the basic faith.
With Liu Zheng's words, the young man rushed to start ordering people to transport the wooden boxes here to the city.
Looking at more than a dozen large boxes, under the transportation of the carriage, they gradually passed towards Runan City.
Liu Zheng was still a little excited, after all, it was a windfall, and the pig iron he urgently needed would be solved immediately.
But when Liu Zheng looked over at the ground outside the city, he looked at the traces of a few carriage wheels on the ground, and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly realized something, and immediately shouted.
"Stop!"
Liu Zheng frowned and stared at the carriage in front of him.
"What's the matter, this Qu Shuai?"
When Liu Zheng shouted to stop, the young man who was walking in front immediately ran over, came to Liu Zheng's side, and asked Liu Zheng what was wrong.
"Open the box on this carriage and show me."
Liu Zheng ordered the young man without thinking.
"This ...... Qu Shuai, haven't you already seen it just now, there is no problem in our box. ”
"Is there a problem, I'll check it and then open him!"
The young man's hesitant response to Liu Zheng made Liu Zheng even more convinced that there was something wrong with the box in the carriage, and immediately raised his voice again to reprimand.
The boy then walked to the other side of the box.
"Okay, okay, I'll open it right away."
The boy approached the box, then unlocked the top of the box, and was about to lift the lid of the box, but this time he nodded.
immediately rushed to the back of the wooden box, pulled out a knife, turned around and slashed at Liu Zheng's body.
