"Brother Zhang can see through and is a wise man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Accepting Zhao'an is a wise choice. β
"Well, I'm terminally ill now, and I don't have a few days to live, and I'll take the sin of rebellion alone. It's just that I can't let go of my sister-in-law Zhang Ning, so what I beg the general to do today is to protect Zhang Ning's safety. I can't trust the court, I only believe in you, the general! β
Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said, "Okay!" I promise you! As long as I, Jiang Sheng, have a breath of air, I will definitely protect Zhang Ning. β
Zhang Baiqi knelt on his knees and bowed: "Engong is above, please accept Zhang Baiqi's worship!" β
Jiang Sheng put his hands around Zhang Baiqi and said, "Brother Zhang's loyalty is unparalleled, Jiang admires it!" I wonder what you want from your old department? β
Zhang Baiqi said: "Brother Jiang's previous tolerance of the Yellow Turban troops is enough, and the white cavalry does not dare to gain an inch. Three days later, I led my soldiers to the outside of Nanpi City, and the general could receive them. As for Zhang Ning, when the day after tomorrow, I will send it to Jiang Shengyuan. β
After Jiang and Zhang met, Zhang Baiqi returned to the camp to arrange for the return of Shun, and Jiang Sheng ordered the troops to stop attacking Zhang Baicai's troops and camp ten miles outside Nanpi City to rest.
That night, Zhang Baiqi called Zhang Ning to the camp tent and retreated.
"Big brother, I don't know what to order?" Zhang Ning asked.
Zhang Baiqi closed the curtain of the big tent, and then sat on the collapse and talked to Zhang Ning.
"Do you know about the situation in our army?"
"Big brother, things in the army, Ning Ning never cared about. Did something happen? β
"Do you know why we retreated here from Zhongshan and Julu?"
Zhang Ning shook her head, she was only ten years old, and everyone was doing their best to protect her safety, she didn't know her current situation.
"I was defeated by the official army, and the foolish brother tried to restore my father-in-law's former state, but the number of days made it impossible for me to return to heaven. Everyone is afraid of frightening you, so the war has been hidden from you. But now it's different, and I can't hide it. Jiang Sheng is good at using soldiers, we can't resist his offensive at all, if I still let everyone persevere, it will kill everyone. β
"Big brother, since that Jiang Sheng is so powerful, if we kill him secretly, then everyone doesn't have to die." Zhang Ning deserves to be Zhang Jiao's daughter.
"Nonsense! Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and the like who attacked us before, no matter whether our Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered or were captured, they couldn't escape their butcher's knives! But Jiang Sheng has always had a benevolent and righteous heart, whether my Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered or were captured, Jiang Sheng treated them with a lenient heart, and those who were willing to follow Jiang Sheng stayed in his army, and those who were unwilling to follow and the old and frail, Jiang Sheng sent them to return to their hometowns. If Jiang Sheng no longer leads the army and changes to someone else to deal with us and others, how can everyone survive? β
"In this way, this Jiang Sheng is still a good person?" Zhang Ning said, "So do you deserve the death of your father and two uncles?" β
"Ning Ning, don't you know, Jiang Sheng is just acting on orders, if he doesn't go to war, the court will want his life. Moreover, the father-in-law and the two uncles did not die at the hands of Jiang Sheng, the father-in-law died of illness, the second uncle died under the gun of Huangfu Song, and the third uncle died at the hands of the traitor Yan Zheng. β
"But Jiang Sheng has repeatedly been the enemy of my Taiping Dao, and those who died under the knife of his troops were all Taiping Dao disciples. This revenge has to be avenged! The hatred in Zhang Ning's heart did not dissipate.
"Ning Ning! There is a debtor and a debtor! Jiang Sheng is a benevolent gentleman, you can't make mistakes! He is strong in martial arts, and he is surrounded by fierce generals, you can't find his bad luck, and don't take revenge! cough--" Zhang Baiqi spoke sharply, and couldn't help coughing violently.
"Okay-okay, Ning Ning remembers, big brother, don't be angry!" Seeing Zhang Baiqi like this, Zhang Ning hurriedly softened and patted Zhang Baiqi's heart.
"Ning Ning, now is not as good as before, we have to think about our future life, and the important thing is that you live well."
"Big brother, I will follow you in the future, and everyone will live well."
"Alas, the foolish brother knows that the limit is coming, and the only one who can't rest assured is you."
"I'll take care of myself."
"How can you take care of yourself as a ten-year-old girl? Don't be willful, you have to listen to my big brother. β
"If you have anything to say, I will listen to you."
"Three days later, I decided to lead all the troops to surrender to Jiang Shengβ"
"Big brother, no!" Zhang Ning was resolute.
"Listen to me! I went to see Jiang Sheng today, after the surrender of my department, the young and middle-aged people choose to go or stay by themselves, and the old and frail will return to their hometowns when they receive the entanglement. As for you, I have entrusted it to Jiang Sheng, and he will protect you well. β
"Big brother, how can you entrust me to the enemy?" Zhang Ning cried.
"Ning Ning! Jiang Sheng is not an enemy! How can you not distinguish between right and wrong, cough cough - wow" Zhang Baiqi coughed fiercely and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Ning was shocked, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhang Baiqi's blood.
"The stakes are high for your father-in-law to leave you with the "Taiping Technique", and if you don't have enough strength to protect you, you will always be in danger. Jiang Sheng has the style of a benevolent person, he said that if he wants to protect you, then there is absolutely no problem. When you grow up, you have your own choice to stay, I have made an appointment with him, and I will take you to his line the day after tomorrow, so you can go with him. β
"But if he covets the "Taiping Technique" and takes it for himself, and then kills me and kills me, what should he do?"
"I didn't tell him at all, we have the Taiping Technique, and I forgive him, and he won't covet these Taoist classics. After you arrive in his mansion, you must be cautious, do not let the people around him find out that the "Taiping Technique" is here, you must live in his mansion for at least six years, and you can only leave after the end of the house, but you must see the situation clearly and think twice. Father-in-law is just your blood and bones, you must not come nonsense. β
"Well, Ning Ning remembered! Big brother, then you should rest early, I'll go back to the account. Zhang Ning said goodbye to Zhang Baiqi.
Zhang Baiqi was already very ill, and the medicine stone was hopeless, so he used the method of practicing qi recorded in the Taiping Technique to regulate his breathing, and he insisted until the team was completely in Jiang Sheng's hands.
For more than two days, except for the doctors and maids who entered and exited Zhang Baiqi's big tent, no one came in and out, and even Zhang Ning did not come to visit, Zhang Baiqi sent someone to call Zhang Ning over, and he was about to be separated at night, and he still had a lot to say to Zhang Ning.
"Lady, she's gone."
"What? It's gone? It's solid, it's solid! Zhang Baiqi was taken aback, he thought of Zhang Ning's attitude when he talked to Zhang Ning that day, and felt bad, so he asked people to come over and quickly find someone.
"General Wei left the camp with a few entourages this morning and has not yet returned!"
Zhang Baiqi almost didn't get up in one breath, he was actually less than thirty years old, but he was already sick like this, with white hair on his temples, he looked like he was in his fifties, it can be said that it was really time to run out of oil and dry up.
Zhang Baiqi asked the soldiers guarding the gate to come over in the morning to question, and he wanted to confirm whether Zheng Gu had left with Zhang Ning.
