Chapter 036: Hijacking the Messenger

"Major General, Hanchang City is ahead, let's gallop in another hour and we can get there!"

Zhang Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words of the two leading brothers: "Brothers, hurry up, let's not rest halfway, and then have lunch in Hanchang City, and rest after lunch!" We finally don't have to sleep out anymore! ”

"Yes!" All the brothers received the order in unison, although Zhang Bao was the deputy commander of the supervision envoy, but the brothers preferred to call Zhang Bao a major general.

Six hundred iron horsemen galloped on the official road leading from Hanzhong to Hanchang City, and all the pedestrians avoided along the way.

Suddenly, Zhang Bao saw two horsemen galloping over on the opposite side, Zhang Bao didn't plan to make trouble, and instructed his brothers to get out of the way.

However, when the two horsemen approached, Wang Lin, who was leading the way, suddenly shouted angrily: "Chen Ke, you stop Lao Tzu!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao hurriedly commanded the brothers behind him to block the way forward of the two horsemen.

The galloping two horsemen suddenly stopped when they heard the shout, and then turned their horses and wanted to flee, but fortunately they were stopped in time by Zhang Nan and his brothers.

Wang Lin pointed to one of them and said to Zhang Bao after the second cavalry was blocked: "Young General, his name is Chen Ke, he is Pu Hu's person, and Pu Hu is the city lord of Nanzheng City. This Chen Ke is terrible! He forcibly took possession of my sister! ”

Zhang Bao blinked when she heard this, then looked at Wang Lin and frowned, "Brother, first ask your sister what is the current situation?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Lin directly pulled out his saber, and then pointed at Chen Ke and said angrily: "Chen Ke, where is my sister?" ”

The man who was pointed at by Wang Lin with a knife looked at Wang Lin and sneered: "Don't think that if there are many of you, your kid will be angry!" Don't forget whose territory this is! ”

Wang Lin said angrily when he heard this: "Look for death!" ”

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he slashed at Chen Ke, but was snatched by Chen Ke in a flash.

Wang Lin then swung his knife and slashed, and Chen Ke hurriedly drew his saber to block it.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao said angrily: "Okay, you Chen Ke, do you dare to resist after doing all the bad things?" Brothers, take the two of them down for me! ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, Zhang Nan urged him to step forward, easily restrained the two, and the brothers stepped forward to tie up the two.

Zhang Bao dismounted and came to Chen Ke, who was tied up, and said coldly: "What happened to my brother's sister?" ”

Chen Ke glared and said, "What else?" Your brother is now my brother-in-law! ”

Zhang Bao blinked when she heard this: "So my brother's sister is still alive?" ”

Chen Ke glared at Zhang Bao: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" My wife and my son are naturally alive and well! ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "It's good to live well, let me ask you, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”

Chen Ke kicked his eyes, Zhang Bao did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao continued to smile and said, "Don't you say yes?" You are my brother's brother-in-law, I can't do anything to you, but this person next to you is unfortunate! ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he straightened up and said to Wang Lin: "Brother, when your brother-in-law bullied your sister back then, the person next to him must be an accomplice. You can't kill your brother-in-law now, but you can kill his accomplices, don't you say? ”

"Yes, Major General!" Wang Lin said with a straight face, Wang Lin heard that his sister was still alive, and he also had a nephew, and the anger in Wang Lin's heart disappeared a little.

Zhang Bao continued to say softly: "Now I'll ask your brother-in-law a few questions, if your brother-in-law doesn't answer, you will stab the accomplice next to him." But don't stab him to death at once, just let him die slowly. ”

"Command!" Wang Lin Zhengse said.

Zhang Bao then looked at the middle-aged strong man beside Chen Ke and said, "If Wang Lin can't answer my question, but you can, then you don't have to be knifed, it's up to you how to decide." ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ke again: "The first question is the same as just now, where are you in such a hurry?" ”

Chen Ke was silent when he heard this, and the strong man beside Chen Ke also snorted coldly.

Without Zhang Bao's orders, Wang Lin cut off the strong man's left arm with a single sword.

"Ah!! ......" the strong man cried out in pain after losing his left arm.

Zhang Bao saw that Wang Lin made a sharp move, and couldn't help but look at Wang Lin a few points, worthy of being the supervision envoy selected by Zhao Yun.

Zhang Bao then said softly: "The second question is the same as the first, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

"Chen Ke, you are not allowed to say it!" The strong man beside Chen Ke gritted his teeth and shouted.

Seeing this, Wang Lin directly killed the strong man, and the strong man's brother quickly dragged the strong man's body away.

Zhang Bao then whispered to Wang Lin: "Now that your companion is dead, you should say it." Unless you want your wife to remarry and your children to be called daddy. ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, Chen Ke was still silent.

Seeing this, Wang Lin held a knife and said angrily to Chen Ke: "If you really decide not to say it, then I will cut off your head!" ”

Zhang Bao stopped Wang Lin when he heard this, and then said to Chen Ke with a straight face: "Chen Ke, do you think I don't know if you don't say anything?" You are going to Hanzhong to see Cao Cao, do you think I'm right? ”

Zhang Bao actually said that Chen Ke was Pu Hu's person when Wang Lin said it, and coupled with the direction in which Chen Ke and the others were going, Zhang Bao guessed their purpose.

Zhang Bao believes that Pu Hu and Du Hao of Brazil County are likely to defect to Cao Cao as they did in history.

Chen Ke glared at Zhang Bao when he heard this: "Since you know everything, why do you want to kill my brother?" ”

Zhang Bao's heart sank when he heard this, and he really let him guess it. Zhang Bao looked at Chen Ke's eyes and said, "You don't say how I can be sure that my guess is true." ”

"Alas!" Chen Ke sighed loudly when he heard this! He knew that he had fallen for Zhang Bao's plan.

Zhang Bao looked at Chen Ke and smiled: "Chen Ke, since you have already said it, tell everything you know, and I will keep your wife and children safe." ”

Chen Ke still bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhang Bao couldn't help but sigh and said, "Chen Ke, you're afraid that the current situation is still unclear, right?" Now our lord Liu Bei has taken Hanzhong, and the orthodox commander of the 200,000 army and Cao Cao will face off in Hanzhong.

Our lord now owns the two major states of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and Liu Zhang has surrendered to my lord. As Liu Zhang's subordinates, Pu Hu and Du Hao should surrender to our lord with Liu Zhang.

Now Pu Hu and Du Hao actually took advantage of the decisive battle between our lord and Cao Cao, and wanted to fornicate with Cao Cao, and then waited for the opportunity to take refuge in Cao Cao, do you really think that my lord can't deal with you?

Since Chen Ke, Pu Hu and Du Hao have decided to defect to Cao Cao, they will definitely try to hold the people of Pasir County hostage. They did this just to increase their weight in joining Cao Cao, so that they could seek the capital to advance themselves.

Chen Ke, you are also from Brazil County, right? Are you willing to watch Pu Hu and Du Hao coerce the people of Brazil County to join Cao Cao? If your folks live in Pasir County, and if they are taken away, who will take care of their ancestral graves?

Chen Ke, if you weren't my brother's brother-in-law, you would be a dead man by now. I'll give you a way to live, if you insist on dying and be loyal to selfish people like Pu Hu and Du Hao, then I will do what you want. ”

Chen Ke looked up at Zhang Bao after Zhang Bao finished speaking: "How do you know everything?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "I don't just know Pu Hu and Du Hao's plans, everyone in the world can see through them, but they themselves are still self-righteous and complacent." ”

"Alas! Major General's Discernment! Pu Hu ordered me to go to Hanzhong to meet Cao Cao and tell him that he had decided to join Du Hao and Zhang Lu with the people of Pasir County. Let Cao Cao send someone to Pasir County to discuss the matter. Chen Ke sighed.

Zhang Bao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Chen Ke and said, "Zhang Lu is also in Brazil County?" ”

Chen Ke nodded: "Yes, Zhang Lu is in Hanchang City at this time. ”

Zhang Bao couldn't help frowning: "How many people did Zhang Lu bring?" ”

"Less than a hundred." Chen Ke looked at Zhang Bao and blinked.

When Zhang Bao heard this, he immediately had a plan, he ordered his brothers to let go of Chen Ke, and then smiled: "Chen Ke, you tell the truth, would you like to see your fathers and fellow villagers leave their homeland?" ”

Chen Ke shook his head: "Of course I don't want to, but we have to carry out Pu Hu's order, and Pu Hu promised to reward us when we get to Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Bao couldn't help but smile slightly: "Reward? Do you think that when you arrive at Cao Cao's realm, you are not familiar with the place, and Pu Hu will still keep his promise?

Brother Chen Ke, you listen to me, you and the villagers don't have to go anywhere, just stay in this Brazilian county, and I will double the benefits that Pu Hu promised you. ”

Chen Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this: "My subordinates are willing to obey the orders of the major general." ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Okay!" Then you take us to find a safe place first, it's not safe for us to stay on this official road. ”

"Good! Major General and brothers, please come with me. Chen Ke saluted Zhang Bao with a fist, and then got on the horse and walked forward.

Zhang Bao followed closely with his brothers.
