Sun Ce was not in a hurry to attack, he first let the cavalry disperse, and each person had a torch to hold both ends of the road outside the Wutang Pavilion.

Nearly two hundred torches were lit, the gong on the watchtower stopped, and after a while the door opened. Several people came out of it and knelt on the side of the road. Judging from the costumes, it should be the pavilion chief and the miscellaneous servants in the pavilion. Their heads were bowed, and their bodies trembled, like sheep stared at by wolves.

Sun Ce walked over, swept his gaze, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and stopped in front of one of them.

"Those who know the times are handsome, and I know that I pity the innocent, and I admire them. You and I met in Pingshui, and there was no deep hatred, and you wanted to kill me, did you want to repay Yuan Xiansi's kindness? ”

The figure was slightly stunned, and the trembling disappeared, stable as a rock. He slowly stood up, tilted his head, and looked directly at Sun Ce. This is a man about thirty years old, medium build, strong physique, Chinese face, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, fleshless cheeks, slightly thin lips, and the facial lines look hard.

"The general is ......"

"Jiangdong Sun Ce. Dare to ask the name of the high surname? ”

The young man's face changed, and his right hand trembled nervously. Sun Ce looked at him intently, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker. He could see at a glance that this young man was not a miscellaneous servant in the pavilion, so how could he let him succeed in a sneak attack.

The corners of the young man's eyes twitched twice, and he sighed softly. "I originally thought it was an eagle dog, but I never thought that it was a phoenix bird that soared for nine days. Sitting in a well and watching the sky is in vain. In the next full favor, he was engaged in Yanzhou, and he was ashamed to be ugly in front of the general. As he spoke, he took out a short knife from his sleeve, fiddled with it twice in his hand, and stuck it in his waist.

"Full of favors?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up. "Long admiration."

Man Pet glanced at Sun Ce, a trace of self-deprecation flashed in his eyes, and then he was thoughtful and arched his hand. "The general is falsely praised, and he doesn't dare to be it."

Sun Ce smiled and turned to look at the people who were kneeling on the ground. "Which one is the pavilion chief? We're hungry, so please prepare some food for us. If there is wine, take some out of it, and I will have a few glasses with Manberning. ”

The pavilion chief agreed again and again, and hurriedly entered the pavilion. Sun Ce stretched out his hand to invite. Full of favor hesitated. "General, my Manchu clan is a surname in Changyi, and Lingzun was besieged in Changyi, and I have a share of the Manchu clan."

Sun Ce chuckled softly: "I know, if your family is not famous, how can you be the county governor at the age of eighteen." Obviously, you can be a celebrity, but if you have to be a capable official, you can be regarded as a maverick. If I'm right, you weren't in the city at the time, were you? If you preside over it, my father may not be able to leave Changyi alive. ”

Man's eyes flashed, and he nodded silently. "The general is very good, but I was really not in the city at the time."

"That's good, one yard to one yard. We'll talk about your family besieging your father later, so let's talk about it first. ”

Sun Ce took Man's favored arm and dragged him into the pavilion. Guo Wu and the others had already controlled the pavilion, and the pedestrians who stayed overnight stood in the courtyard, looking frightened and panicked. Sun Ce waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go back to the house to sleep peacefully, and not to go out if there was nothing to do, so as not to be injured by mistake. And the people were skeptical, and they went back to the house one after another. Sun Ce followed Man Chong to the courtyard where he lived, went to the hall, and sat on the main seat himself, but let Man Chong sit in the guest seat.

Guo Wu and the others immediately controlled the courtyard.

Sun Ce untied the long knife and put it on the table. "Let's talk about business first. What are you doing here? ”

Full of pampering bows. "Seeing that the general is powerful, I don't know if I can be spared, so I asked people to burn the official documents."

Sun Ce squinted at the full favor and couldn't help laughing. "And you're not going to say it, are you?"

Man Chong met Sun Ce's gaze, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression. "I believe that the general will not be strong."

The smile on Sun Ce's face was even bigger, and he felt uneasy in his heart when he saw it, and his originally firm eyes became a little wandering. "Man Boning, do you think there are fewer people like you in the world, or fewer people like me?"

Manzhong's eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The general is a natural genius, and it is rare to see him." Although there are not many pets, it is not uncommon. It's just that each has its own master, and each is loyal to his own thing, and I ask the general to forgive me. ”

"Okay, I won't force you, but what I'm going to do, don't stop you, just keep it alone." Sun Ce waved his hand. Xu Sheng and Guo Wu walked over, grabbed the two waiters who were hiding on the side, pressed them in front of Sun Ce, and "choked", and the long knives were unsheathed and put on their necks. Sun Ce said unhurriedly: "Tell me some news that I am interested in, maybe I can spare your life." ”

The two waiters were so frightened that their faces were pale, they collapsed on the ground, weeping silently, and pleaded with Man Zhong again and again. Man Chong's face changed twice, and he stared at Sun Ce for a long time, and saw that Sun Ce had no intention of giving in, so he had to sigh.

"Okay, I said."

"I didn't force you." The pavilion chief brought the wine and food, and Sun Ce picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip. "For the two waiters to defile their feathers, Berning seems to be profound, but he has great benevolence, but it is a pity that the laity does not know, but he looks at it as a cool official."

Man Zhong smiled bitterly: "I only act with peace of mind, and I don't care whether others know or not." General, I came in a hurry because Liang Xiang Lu Fan led 10,000 people to invade our border and had arrived at my own clan. ”

Sun Ce nodded. Lu Fan reacted quickly, and it seemed that he was also making meritorious contributions. "Repay the favor, since Berning is a messenger for me, I will also return you with a piece of news, maybe you can atone for your crimes."

Full of pet eyebrows frowned slightly, puzzled.

"I will attack Changyi and take the whole of Sanyang. Those who serve first will be rewarded, and those who serve later will be punished. Sun Ce looked full of favors and smiled. Man Boning, I don't make it difficult for others, if you are willing to be loyal to Yuan Xiansi, I admire you, but I will never show mercy. You think twice. If you're still willing to talk to me, we'll talk about it casually, and if you don't want to, I'm not reluctant. After dawn, I will let you go, and now I will ask you to grieve all night. In the future, if you have the opportunity to command the army, we will compete on the battlefield, let me see your ability to use the army. ”

Man Zhong looked at Sun Ce in surprise. Sun Ce's demeanor was full of strangeness, and every time he was surprised, he actually had a sense of elusiveness. He hadn't met Sun Ce, and he didn't have much reputation under Yuan Tan, and he was only able to do the Assassin Mansion because of the strength of the Manchu family, so it stands to reason that Sun Ce wouldn't pay attention to him. But as soon as Sun Ce saw him, he said that he admired him for a long time, and called out his words, and now he broke his ability to use soldiers, which was really beyond his expectations.

He could know his words, but he couldn't know that he knew the art of war. So far, he has no experience in commanding troops, and Yuan Tan only regards him as a capable official who can understand the drama, and has no idea of letting him lead the army.

Did Sun Ce say it casually, or did he have the ability to predict the future? How could he know so much about me?

What made him even more unsettling was Sun Ce's self-confidence. He made it clear that he was going to capture Changyi and occupy the entire mountain, and he was not worried that he would tell Yuan Tan. He knew that he had the power to be a soldier, but he was willing to let him go, and he would see him again on the battlefield in the future, as if he would definitely be able to defeat him. He had seen many people, including Yuan Tan of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, and he had never seen anyone so confident.

This is a naturally strong man.

The pet pondered for a moment and raised his glass. "General, I have a few questions, I can't figure it out, and I want to ask the general for advice."

"Don't dare." Sun Ce raised his glass and returned the salute. "I'm willing to learn from Berning."
