Chapter 19: Zhang Liao's Determination
In the evening, at the foot of Songshan Mountain, a famous mountain in Henan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Liu Miao led the team to set up a tent and prepared to rest here for the night.
"Little Liaozi, come here!"
Zhang Liao had just finished ordering his soldiers to make a guard deployment when he heard Mulan's shout.
Zhang Liao's face darkened, but he still ran over helplessly. The soldiers behind him couldn't help but snicker when they saw the leader deflated.
Liu Miao also saw this scene, although it was not the first time, but he still couldn't help but smile on his face.
As for why this scene happened, we have to start a few days ago.
After coming out of Luoyang, because of Zhang Liao and his generals, Liu Miao was much easier, he only needed to determine the direction and itinerary, and the rest of the work such as exploring the road, sweeping up thieves, and setting up camp tents was taken care of by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao didn't have any complaints, but unfortunately, he was targeted by Mulan.
As the saying goes, it's better to offend villains than to provoke women. Hua Mulan had some scheming about Zhang Liao before, and after he found out that Zhang Liao was not completely loyal to Liu Miao, he was even more awkward to look at Zhang Liao. So she kept instructing Zhang Liao to do this and that along the way, not to stimulate it with words.
Zhang Liao may have seen that the other party was a woman at first, and silently endured Mulan's deliberate targeting, but once he finally couldn't hold back and made a deliberate bet with Mulan.
The two agreed to compete in three games, namely foot fighting, horse fighting and archery, and won two of the three games. If Mulan loses, she apologizes to Zhang Liao, takes over all of Zhang Liao's work, and sends a treasure knife to Zhang Liao. If Zhang Liao loses, he has to promise Mulan one thing, and he can't go back.
Of course, the ending is doomed, Mulan's current force is 92, Zhang Liao is 88, and in several skills related to force, Mulan's sword S, swordsmanship S, and archery A are all one level higher than Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was defeated and never won even a game.
Zhang Liao was dumbfounded, he also felt that he underestimated him because Liu Miao said that he was not Mulan's opponent, but now he knows that this is the truth at all, he never thought that he would not even be able to beat a woman.
But now that he lost the competition, Zhang Liao was also relieved, he had to admit defeat, but thinking of the content of the bet, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.
Of course, Mulan also saw it, so she said that she would give Zhang Liao another chance, and proposed that Zhang Liao and Mu Guiying also compete, and the method and gambling contract would remain the same as before, and if Zhang Liao won this time, what he lost before could not be counted.
The sad Zhang Liao fell into the pit again, and he unexpectedly found that Mu Guiying was stronger than Mulan, and of course he lost even more.
This can't be blamed on him, after setting off from Luoyang, there were more than 300 soldiers there, and along the way, Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying didn't have a chance to make a move. Hua Mulan is active and active, but who would have thought that Mu Guiying, who looks gentle and lovely, would also be forceful.
Zhang Liao was completely convinced, almost deeply doubting his life, and he decisively offered to fulfill the gambling contract.
Only then did Mulan say his condition, that is, to call Liu Miao "lord".
Liu Miao didn't expect Mulan to put forward such a condition, he knew that this was Mulan helping him subdue Zhang Liao, it seems that Mulan's previous actions were deliberate. Liu Miao's heart was full of emotion and relief for a while.
Zhang Liao is also a smart person, and of course he understands Mulan's intentions. He had always called Liu Miao "Liu Taishou" before, and now Hua Mulan wants him to change it to "Lord Gong", don't look at it as just a change in title, in fact, it represents a change in identity. Calling "Taishou" means that he is Liu Miao's subordinate, which is the relationship of position; After calling "Lord Gong", it represents a real subordinate relationship, which means Zhang Liao's allegiance to Liu Miao.
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Miao, and his heart was full of thoughts for a while. He is actually full of affection for Liu Miao, and Liu Miao's actions have always surprised him, from the first time they met, to the other party's appreciation of him in exchange for the heirloom jade seal, and now to the discovery of two skilled maids. Thinking about it now, if he is loyal to Liu Miao, it seems that it is not bad. Before, he was a little worried that following Liu Miao to Jiujiang County would do nothing, but if the development of the situation is really as Liu Miao said, Liu Miao will definitely not be an ordinary person. Liu Miao is now the Taishou of a county, the starting point is not bad, and he is also a descendant of the clan, and his character and insight are also the best choices......
Zhang Liao's mind was racing, it was only a matter of a moment, he didn't hesitate, walked straight to Liu Miao, saluted respectfully, and called "Lord".
Liu Miao hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up and said with a smile: "This is all Mulan nonsense, Wen Yuan doesn't have to take it seriously, if you don't mind, Wen Yuan can call me Gongzi like them." ”
Zhang Liao shook his head again and again, and said solemnly: "Zhang Liao is really willing to serve the lord, not because of General Mulan's gambling contract, I hope that the lord can fulfill Zhang Liao's heart." ”
Seeing Zhang Liao say this, Liu Miao was no longer hypocritical, he took a long knife from the hand of the guard, handed it to Zhang Liao, and said: "This knife is what I used before, the quality is not bad, now I give it to you, I hope it can play its due light in your hands." ”
As soon as Zhang Liao saw the luster of the blade, he knew that it was undoubtedly a treasure knife, so he hurriedly refused: "Lord, this knife is too valuable......
Before Liu Miao could answer, Hua Mulan walked up and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder with a big grin and said, "Little Liaozi, there are many good things in Childe's hand, just a knife, you don't dare to take it, how dare Childe hand over the heavy responsibility to you in the future?" ”
At this time, Liu Miao also smiled and said: "Wen Yuan doesn't have to excuse himself, this knife is nothing, there will be a lot of good things in the future, but when you want it again, you will have to exchange it for combat exploits." ”
Zhang Liao no longer shirked, solemnly took the long knife, and said in an almost swearing-like tone: "This treasure knife will never be dusted in Zhang Liao's hands!" ”
Liu Miao praised it, took out another roll of cloth, and handed it to Zhang Liao, "Your martial arts skills are already very good, and you can often communicate with Mulan and Gui Ying in the future, I believe there will be greater progress." However, although martial arts are beneficial, it can only be the enemy of a few people, and I hope that Wenyuan can become an enemy of ten thousand. This is a military book in my collection, and now I also give it to Wen Yuan, who can study it often when he has time. ”
Zhang Liao took the cloth in confusion, opened the frontispiece, and saw only a few words-Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies, which were exactly the replicas that Liu Miao had just redeemed from the system.
Sun Tzu's Art of War Zhang Liao is very familiar, although he has not read it, but he has already heard like thunder, what is the thirty-six strategies Zhang Liao has not heard, but it can be put together with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it is not an ordinary thing.
Zhang Liao didn't expect Liu Miao to not only give him a knife, but also give him a book of war, the sword and the book of war are treasures that the generals dream of, but these are precious, and what is more precious is the lord's appreciation and expectations for him.
At this time, Zhang Liao worshiped Liu Miao as the main father, and there was no longer the slightest mustard. He held the sword and the book of war, knelt on the ground with red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao bows to thank the lord for his kindness, from today on, Zhang Liao is willing to serve the lord and the work of dogs and horses, and he will never give up!" ”
"Ding! The host stimulates Zhang Liao's determination, and Zhang Liao's level of bravery changes. ”
Suddenly receiving a reminder from the system, Liu Miao was stunned, and after appeasing Zhang Liao, he hurriedly called up the system's evaluation page for Zhang Liao:

Liu Miao found that Zhang Liao's skill [Divine Bravery] changed from C to B, I don't know if this means that the probability of Zhang Liao's supernormal ability has become higher, but Liu Miao is looking forward to it.
