Sun Quan handed the letter to Zhang Hong and said, "Look at it yourself!" ”

Zhang Hong was also shocked when he saw it, but he still suppressed the shock in his heart and said: "Isn't there some conspiracy in this, don't fall for Liu Yong's tricks!" Although Ling Cao was drunk a few days ago because he was drunk on duty, he was beaten by Zhou Dudu with thirty military sticks, and he would not have a rebellious heart, right? ”

Sun Quan said angrily when he heard this: "No wonder, I have long heard that this Ling Cao is because he is a veteran of his father, and he is dissatisfied with the fact that he has not entrusted him with important responsibilities, and he has repeatedly spoken disrespectfully. I was drunk when I was on duty just now, but now after being punished, I not only don't repent but also rebel, and I will be arrested and tried! ”

Zhang Hong saw that Sun Quan looked categorical and knew that the disaster was persuading, so he could only say goodbye and wait until he saw Ling Cao.

On this day, Ling Cao was recuperating in bed in his own house, he was not young, and the injuries accumulated by the perennial campaign made his recovery from his injuries much slower, and he was extremely depressed, the only thing to be proud of was that his eldest son Ling Tong was very good, although he was still young, but his strength was not weak, he had already created a reputation in the army, and his future was limitless.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the courtyard, and there were people crying, and when he was about to ask what was going on, the door was kicked open vigorously, and a team of sergeants with fine armor and standard spears rushed in, Ling Cao of course knew that this was Sun Quan's guards, and was about to ask why, when a person flashed in the door was Zhou Yi.

Ling Cao got up with pain all over his body, and got up with difficulty: "What is the so-called matter when Commander Zhou comes?" Why such a battle? ”

Zhou Yi held the sword in his hand, and bowed to the east with both hands: "The lord has an order, and he specially sent me and others from Wu County to capture you, and I will be captured before I can tie my hands!" ”

"Huh? Why did Commander Zhou say this? Even if I drink and make a mistake, I will be captured in Wu County, right? Besides, Zhou Dudu has already beaten thirty military sticks as punishment, isn't it over? Ling Tong's head was stunned, how could a catastrophe suddenly fall from the sky.

Zhou Yi didn't care about anything else, and ordered left and right: "Come on, tie up Ling Cao and escort him back to Wu County for trial!" If you dare to block, you will be killed! ”

Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward, regardless of Ling Cao's injury, directly tied up and dragged out. The servants of the Manfu family watched all this in astonishment, but it was difficult to help, and they wept bitterly from afar.

Ling Cao's wife secretly said that a servant pulled him to the corner and stuffed a piece of jade pendant and said: "Ling Shan, you rush to Nanchang as soon as possible to report this matter to the son, let him be careful, and if there is anything unexpected at home, let him ...... Flee now, and stay alive! Come on! ”

Ling Shan hurriedly said, "Madam, this ...... There is a catastrophe in the house, how can I leave here? ”

Mrs. Ling said angrily: "In this case, it is obvious that the lord wants to attack the master, and he will inevitably attack the son, and it is your great work to keep the son." The Ling family will never forget your great kindness! ”

Ling Shan knew that the situation was urgent, he was an orphan adopted by Ling Cao, given the surname Ling, loyal to the Ling family, and also very clever, and wept and said: "Madam, take care, Shanzi is gone, even if you die, you will keep your son!" Please rest assured, Madame! ”

Ling Shan burst into tears, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

At the same time, Zhou Yi shouted: "Ling Cao's mansion, regardless of the old and young, will be taken into custody together, waiting to be released!" ”

Suddenly, a team of county soldiers rushed into the gate of the mansion again, drove men, women, and children together and escorted them to the prison, and at the same time, Zhou Yi also began to search all parts of the mansion. Soon a sergeant ran over and reported to Zhou Yi with a letter in his hand: "Report to the commander, there is something suspicious!" ”

Zhou Yi opened it and praised it happily: "Good! I'm going back to you for credit! ”

With the evidence, Zhou Yi immediately led people to escort Ling Tong into a prisoner car and rode his horse to the east.

Needless to say, this letter was naturally made by Liu Yong using Jin Tianwei's hands and feet, and the captured sergeant was also arranged, and during the time when the Wanling County Order sent someone to send the letter to Wu County, the sergeant also consciously broke free from the rope, grabbed the knife and cut over the guard, and fled. This increased the suspicion of the county commander, and he was even more concerned about this matter, and arranged people around the Ling Mansion to closely monitor before Zhou Yi came.

Ling Shan changed into a civilian's clothes, wiped the dust on his face, picked up a load of firewood, pretended not to sell it and went out of the city, and after several interrogations he was able to get out of the city, and asked an old servant of the Ling family for a horse before galloping towards Nanchang.

After many hardships and deaths, Ling Shan finally went to Nanchang City, like a refugee, guarded by the road in the city for three days, and finally saw Ling Tong passing by, and immediately pounced and shouted: "General, general save me!" ”

Ling Shan didn't dare to call Gongzi for fear of being discovered. Ling Tong was blocked by someone, he was unhappy, he was always restless these days, he didn't know what was going on, he was about to ride a horse and trample on, and suddenly found that this person's face was very familiar, and he hurriedly stopped his horse and took a closer look, it was Ling Shan who had been playing and practicing martial arts with him since he was a child. Ling Shan didn't stay well in Wanling, but he actually came here, and he still looked so miserable, and his heart was not good. But in the army for a year, I know a lot of ways to behave in the world, and there are many eyes and ears here, so it is difficult to ask in detail.

Ling Tong looked left and right, and shouted: "This person is so bold that he dares to stop my horse, come, pull me on the horse, and wait for me to interrogate carefully, whether the enemy army is meticulous!" ”

Knowing that Ling Tong was in a bad mood these days, he was young and vigorous, and his martial arts were strong, so he didn't dare to touch his moldy head, so he didn't make a sound, and put Ling Shan on his horse and rode by, as if nothing had happened, and went straight to his camp.

After talking about his account, Ling Tong hurriedly asked the left and right to guard the outside, took Ling Shan in, and asked anxiously, "Shanzi, why did you come back here?" So anxious, but something happened at home? ”

"Gong ...... Childe, finally ...... See...... It's your turn! Ling Shan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he fainted. Ling Tong hurriedly sent someone to invite a healer to heal, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the healer say that he was overworked and fainted from hunger. When Ling Shan woke up again, he hurriedly fed the prepared food to Ling Shan.

Ling Shan ate something much better, and suddenly cried: "Childe, Ling Shan is incompetent, the old general and his wife are ...... They're in trouble! ”

After Ling Shan finished saying everything, Ling Tong was furious: "Our Ling family is loyal to the Sun family, why is this happening, is it just that my father is drunk?" If the lord is worried that he can't order the veteran and wants to cut my Ling family, I, Ling Cao, will definitely make your Sun family regret it for the rest of your life! ”

Ling Shan was shocked, hurriedly got up, covered Ling Tong's mouth and said, "Childe whispered, don't say this!" ”

Ling Tong also woke up immediately, and went out of the account to see that there was no one else except his two loyal subordinates, so he put his mind at ease.

Ling Shan persuaded: "Madame asked me to tell Gongzi that no matter what happens, Gongzi must save his life and live, only if you live, can the Ling family have hope!" ”
