I saw Deng Zhan say: "It's not a secret, the reason why Zhan appeared here this time is to transfer an important treasure to the lord." ”

"An important treasure? Couldn't it be ......"

Zhou Yu listened to Deng Zhan's words, and suddenly became excited, and asked eagerly.

"That's it." After Deng Zhan finished speaking, he slowly opened the inconspicuous box in his hand, and suddenly saw a jade stone appear in front of him, only to see that this jade was four inches in circumference, and there were five dragons on it, one of the horns was inlaid with gold, and the front was engraved with eight seal words: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”

Zhou Yu used to be by Sun Ce's side back then, so he could naturally determine at a glance that this was the heirloom jade seal that Sun Jian had privately hidden, and was later exchanged by Yuan Shu from Sun Ce.

"Sure enough, this is the thing, the general can obtain this treasure and dedicate it to the lord, it is really a great achievement, it is enviable, hehe, but this matter should not be exposed, in order to avoid a long night dream, please also ask the general to work hard, immediately take this treasure to Chang'an, dedicated to the lord."

"This ......" Deng Zhan hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "General Rongyu, it's not that the last general intends to shirk it, and he doesn't want to do this, but the last general is walking alone, I don't know what kind of risks will be encountered?" In case the treasure is lost because of the reason of the last general, the last general can't afford to have a thousand lives, and the general is in the Yuan camp, how many people can fight under his command? Being escorted by the general all the way will make the treasure safer, so it is better for the general to escort the treasure directly to Chang'an. ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "You Yu escorts natural safety, but it is not justified, the general is Cao Pi's guard, if he claims to be ordered by the Son of Heaven to give this thing to the lord, and order the lord to inherit the Han family." In this way, the lord can rightfully succeed to the throne as the lord of the world, but in this way, he has wronged the general, because the general may only appear in front of the world under the name Zhanfei for a long time in the future. ”

"It doesn't matter what the name is, the last general doesn't want this false name, just to repay the kindness of the lord, but the last general really feels lonely and doesn't dare to accept this mission, and I ask the general to forgive me."

"General Deng don't worry, this time I will send the most loyal and trusted elite people under my command to help you, I believe that with their help, you will be able to reach Chang'an smoothly and dedicate the treasure to the lord." I will also give the general a warrant, as long as I have my warrant, the general will not dare to be stopped by anyone on the way to Chang'an from here. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Deng Zhan in front of him and said with a smile.

"Since the general said so, then the general has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey." Deng Zhan arched his hand to Zhou Yu and said with a straight face.

"Everything is General Lao, as long as the treasure is in the hands of the lord, the general will pretend to be on the order of the Son of Heaven, and there is no way to refuse the lord, but there is still a dilemma here", Zhou Yu frowned, and continued: "If the Son of Heaven publicly stands up to refute the general's excuses, this matter will still be a little troublesome, which will lead to the reversal of the lord's status and prestige, and he will suddenly become a traitor and evil person who is called Wang Mang and Zhao Gao and others. ”

After hearing this, Deng Zhan smiled bitterly, and sighed to Zhou Yu: "For this, the last general should say sorry to the people of the world, and also to the Son of Heaven, because the Son of Heaven and his harem concubines, children, palace maids and eunuchs have all died in the fire cave, and none of them have been preserved." ”

"What? General Deng had already thought of this section? Yu has to say a word of admiration for this, but don't blame me for being rude, how innocent are those harem concubines and palace maids and eunuchs? My brother's action this time is really big, this time I will cover up for my brother, and I must not do it again in the future. ”

Zhou Yu thought that this was Deng Zhan's doing, although he was very polite on the surface, but in his heart, his impression of Deng Zhan became bad, this person was ruthless, and he was really a bit indiscriminate. Don't make friends in the future.

However, he saw Deng Zhan sighing: "Governor Zhou's words are too overestimated by the last general, where can the last general be so bold?" How dare you openly burn the treasure ship on which the Son of Heaven is riding? If this is said, it should be said that it is providence. Alas, no one thought that the first fire of the Governor of Zhou today actually ignited the ship of the Son of Heaven, of course, this is not entirely to blame the Governor, because the last general could see that the fire was not strong at that time, as long as the rescue was carried out with all his might, this boat of people was naturally killed, but the Son of Heaven and the concubines were still able to survive, but at this time, Cao Piming ordered the last general to go to the rescue, but in fact he instructed the last general to watch the fire from the other side and not to save him, as a result, all the people in the boat were killed, and there were hundreds of people on this big ship. There is also Cao Pi's own sister, but he can bear to give such an order, which is simply a loss of humanity. ”

Deng Zhan said this, and deeply blamed himself: "In fact, this matter also has the responsibility of the last general, if Mo will be able to withstand the pressure and send someone to rescue, no matter what, he can also rescue some poor people, it is not a secret, whenever I think of that scene, it is difficult for me to settle down in my heart, no matter how many years from now on, this will eventually be a nightmare that I will not get rid of in my life, Zhou Dadu said that in this case, where is the last general still eligible to ask for a reward?" If it weren't for the fact that the lord could get the jade seal of the country intact and sit firmly in the world, the last general would rather disobey Cao Pi's order at that time, and would definitely rescue them, but the last general would not dare, because in this way, how could the lord rightfully govern the world? When will my big man settle down completely? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately changed his words and thanked him: "This is all Yu's assumption for a while, and he almost misunderstood the general, I am really ashamed, in fact, if I talk about it, this matter also has an unshirkable responsibility with Yu, after all, the Son of Heaven's boat was ordered by Yu to set fire, that is to say, Yu is the culprit who murdered the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with Brother Deng." ”

"The matter has come to this, and it is useless for us to desperately take responsibility for ourselves, because the governor of Zhou Dadu did not know that it was the ship that the Son of Heaven was on, and it also left a chance for rescue, which was mainly due to Cao Pi's intention to kill the Son of Heaven, which finally led to such an ending, so the main responsibility lies with Cao Pi, not us. And we must also set the tone in this way, so that the lord can inherit the throne logically. ”

"Brother Deng is right, then it is decided, I will report to the lord like this in the good news I wrote to the lord, but the true situation of the matter also needs to be explained in detail to the lord, as for how the lord will be punished, then I also think, but in this way, I am afraid that it will affect Brother Deng, but loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, and Yu is also very embarrassed in his heart......"

"Haha, what Governor Zhou said, is this the kind of person the last general? If the Metropolitan Governor was able to confess this to the Lord, how could the last general keep it? The Metropolitan Governor only reported according to the facts, and the last general was hoping that he would be severely punished by the lord for this matter, so the last general might feel better in his heart. ”

Deng Zhan grinned, but this smile was full of bitterness, which looked very uncomfortable.
