Chapter 54: Two pills for one life and one death
In Julu City, 200,000 Yellow Turban troops were all sent out.
Only a few men were left in the city.
"Master, it's windy up there, why don't you go home first?" Zhang Xian stood beside Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao nodded, although Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, he knew that Taiping Dao still had a long way to go, and this victory only pulled the Yellow Turban Army back a little. There are even more severe tests ahead.
As long as Huangfu Song is defeated, the Yellow Turban Army will have a way to live.
Zhang Sai also followed Zhang Jiao's side.
Zhang Xian followed Zhang Jiao fifteen years ago, when he was only twelve years old.
For so many years, Zhang Jiao has only one daughter under Zhang Xue's knees, and Zhang Jiao has regarded Zhang Xian as his own son in his heart.
Zhang Jiao even wanted Zhang Xue to marry Zhang Xi.
"Master, drink saliva."
Zhang Jiao took the pottery bowl, only the moment he drank water, the moment the bowl blocked his vision, a dagger pierced his heart.
"Master, I'm sorry."
Zhang Xian caught the bowl that was about to fall, looked at Zhang Jiao's angry face, and felt a slight pain in his heart.
"Why?" Zhang Jiao didn't understand why Zhang Xian betrayed him.
Zhang Sai lowered his head and said, "Because my name is Yuan Sai, you are just a chess piece, and now you are useless." ”
"You are from the Yuan family...... At this moment, Zhang Jiao finally understood, but he didn't expect everything to be under that person's control.
Zhang Shi slowly put Zhang Jiao on the bed and covered it with a quilt.
Although Zhang Jiao treats him very well, he can't change that he is a member of the Yuan family.
If he doesn't, then it's himself who dies.
He didn't have a choice.
"Master, don't blame me." Zhang Shi closed Zhang Jiao's eyes.
Fifteen years, in the face of Zhang Jiao's sincere dedication, it is impossible for him to have no feelings. It's just that when Zhang Jiao took him in, his mission was already doomed.
Zhang Sai turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door, from now on, he is Yuan Sai. I can finally return to my family.
But before leaving, Yuan Sai still went to the granary and set a fire.
The granary suddenly caught fire, and the Yellow Turban Army who remained in the city immediately began to put out the fire, and at the same time mobilized the ordinary people in the city to help.
"General Tiangong, it's not good, the granary is on fire."
Someone came to report to Zhang Jiao.
But there was no response from Zhang Jiao, and some people went around looking for Zhang Jiao, but some people had the courage to push open the door of Zhang Jiao's room.
"Oh no, the great sage and good teacher have been killed."
The news of Zhang Jiao's killing spread throughout the city as soon as possible.
The fire in the granary was extinguished in time, but the city seemed to be covered with a dark cloud.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you, who killed you." Zhang Xue hugged Zhang Jiao's corpse, her tears were like pearls, and her voice was hoarse.
Qu Shuai, who went out of the city to chase and kill the Han army, took the soldiers under his tent and returned to Julu one by one, and immediately knew about this thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Dong Zhuo was defeated just now, and they just went out of the city to chase and kill the Han army, why did their leader die in his room.
"Great sage and good teacher, whoever killed you, I must break him into pieces."
Qu Shuai, who came back one by one, all came to Zhang Jiao's side.
But no one knows who the murderer is.
"Where's Zhang Xi?"
Zhou Cang, who came back, asked.
Zhou Cang said this, everyone realized, they all went out to hunt down the Han army, only Zhang Xian followed Zhang Jiao.
Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, Zhang Sai is missing again.
"No, it can't be." Zhang Xue shook her head, she couldn't accept this result.
Unlike other Qu Shuai, Zhang Xue was often taken care of by Zhang Sai when she was a child, and she had long regarded Zhang Sai as her own brother.
Zhou Cang asked the whole city to search for Zhang Sai's whereabouts, but tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops went to Julu City, and no one found Zhang Sai.
"This brute, vain the great sage and good teacher regards him as his own, but he does such a thing that loses his conscience."
Although there is no conclusive evidence, the Qu Shuai who came back has already regarded Zhang Xian as the murderer of Zhang Jiao.
"What, you said that the great sage and good teacher were killed?"
Zhao Hui came back with a team of 100 people and received the news at the city gate.
Zhao Hui always thought that Zhang Jiao should die of illness in the end, but he didn't think about it at all, let alone take precautions.
Looking at Zhang Jiao lying on the bed, Zhao Hui never expected such a result.
Zhang Jiao still had a dagger in his chest, but Zhang Xue didn't let people pull it out.
Zhao Hui stepped forward and touched Zhang Jiao's neck, but there was no beating.
"Xiaoxue, you turn your head first." Zhao Hui pressed Zhang Jiao's body with one hand and held the dagger inserted in his chest with the other.
"Brother Zhao, I'm ......" Zhang Xue choked and shook her head.
Burst!
The dagger was drawn, but, strangely, no blood spurted out.
"Ahem, ahem."
What is surprising is that after the dagger was pulled out, Zhang Jiao, who everyone on the bed thought was dead, actually coughed twice.
"Huh? Daddy, Daddy woo......" Zhang Xue hugged Zhang Jiao's body tightly.
"Whew, whew......" Zhang Jiao took two breaths and opened his eyes.
"Great Virtuous Teacher."
"Great sage and good teacher, is it the hand of that kid Zhang Sai?"
Zhang Jiao snorted, but didn't explain too much, first looked at Zhang Xue, reached out and touched Zhang Xue's face, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, Daddy is fine." ”
"Daddy, if I don't cry, you'll be fine." Zhang Xue endured it, but the tears still couldn't stop dripping.
"Zhao Hui, come here." Zhang Jiao's voice was very small.
"I have a bottle in my arms, you help me take it out."
"Yes."
Zhao Hui reached out and touched a finger-sized white porcelain bottle from Zhang Jiao's arms.
"I know you've been poisoned, and there are two pills in here, one of which can cure you......"
Zhang Jiao's speech was intermittent, but Zhao Hui could basically understand it.
The two pills were exactly the same, and there was no difference to be seen.
But the effects of the two pills are opposite, one saves people and the other harms people.
If Zhao Hui eats the wrong thing, that name will die, and if he is lucky, then the poison on his body will be cured.
Of course, Zhao Hui could also choose not to eat, Zhang Jiao did not force him.
But Zhang Jiao's meaning is obvious, that is, let Zhao Hui choose first.
Either Zhao Hui dies and he lives, or Zhao Hui's body is cured, and Zhang Jiao dies.
If Zhao Hui doesn't choose, Zhang Jiao can also let someone else come.
Now it's up to Zhao Hui to choose.
The two pills in the porcelain bottle were poured out by Zhao Hui, both pills were black and only the size of a grain of rice.
"Don't." Zhang Xue trembled slightly, she didn't want Zhao Hui to die, but she wanted her father to live.
The other Qu Shuai also looked at Zhao Hui, but they didn't speak, and it was difficult to know what they were thinking in their hearts.
There is nothing wrong with their body and they do not need treatment.
Zhao Hui looked at the two pills in his palm and picked up one of them.
"Coach Zhao, let me come." Zhou Cang said that he was willing to give his life for Zhang Jiao.
Zhao Hui shook his head: "No." ”
He didn't think that Zhang Jiao was lying to himself, there was no need for this at all.
For the strange poison on his body, Zhao Hui wanted to cure it.
Although drinking tiger blood now can allow him to recover for a short time, Zhao Hui is not satisfied.
The opportunity is in front of him, and Zhao Hui will not give up.
