Although Xu Huang was in charge of 100,000 horses, it was impossible for him to mobilize an army to protect his women, and in the end, except for Pang De, he only handed over all the hundred Flying Tiger guards assigned to him to Zhang Ning, that is, those big men that Gong Du saw outside the side hall. Of course, these guards are all elites of a hundred battles, and Pang De's martial arts are not under him, and Zhang Ning himself is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and Runan and Yingchuan are close to each other, and the army is coming in the morning and evening, Xu Huang is a little relieved. Rao was like this, and he still handed Zhang Ning two precious carrier pigeons for use in case of emergency.

When Zhang Ning heard Gong Du ask about her intentions, he didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Senior Brother Gong, are you alone in charge of Runan now, or are you and Senior Brother Liu in charge together?" Why didn't you see Senior Brother Liu come to see me? ”

In the eyes of the Taiping Daoists, Zhang Ning is not only the daughter of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, but also the saint of the Taiping Dao, and her status is more than one and a half stars higher than Gong Du and Liu Bi, the two disciples of Zhang Jiao.

Hearing Zhang Ning's unkind tone, Gong Du hurriedly said: "Naturally, here is that I and Senior Brother Liu are the co-masters, but Senior Brother Liu is accompanying a distinguished guest, so ......"

Pang De, who was standing behind Zhang Ning, suddenly slammed the big knife to the ground, snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of distinguished guest?" Is it more ...... than my wife?"

Zhang Ning waved his hand to stop Pang De, then smiled at Gong Du and said, "It turns out that Senior Brother Liu has another distinguished guest. Speaking of which, the Taiping Road has declined, and the two senior brothers seem to be going to climb another high branch, and the little sister really wants to hear it, which way is the fairy? ”

The matter of Jian Yong's visit to Pingyu is very confidential, and Gong Du still does not know Zhang Ning's identity, so he naturally refuses to tell the situation of the talks between the two sides. However, Zhang Ning was able to judge the plans of the two of them from the fact that Liu Pi accompanied the distinguished guests and did not come to see her, which really surprised Gong Du.

In the face of Zhang Ning's questioning, Gong Du had to bite the head and said: "Don't dare to hide from the young master, although Senior Brother Liu and I occupy Runan, but there are some jackals around us, and the two of us have no choice but to maneuver around and try to protect ourselves." ”

Runan was originally Yuan Shu's territory, but now it is suddenly occupied by the Yellow Turban, and it will definitely become the target of the surrounding forces. When they left Luoyang, Xu Huang and Zhang Ning speculated about this, thinking that Cao Cao was most likely to win over Gong Du and Liu Pi, and of course, if Liu Xuan, who was besieged in Shouchun, got the news, he would definitely not let go of this great opportunity. However, Xu Huang and Zhang Ning never imagined that it would be Liu Bei who would be the first to win over Gong Du and Liu Pi.

Seeing that Gong refused to tell the truth, Zhang Ning was slightly unhappy in his heart, and he didn't ask anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Gong, no matter who you are entertaining, the little sister has come from thousands of miles away, Senior Brother Liu should always show up." What's more, the little sister came this time, not on a whim. The two senior brothers are already in great trouble, and they still don't know it! ”

Gong Du worshiped Zhang Jiao's door back then, and he did see many of Zhang Jiao's miraculous skills, although he did not learn any skills from Zhang Jiao, but he was convinced, and Zhang Ning was Zhang Jiao's only daughter, and it was reasonable to be able to get Zhang Jiao's true biography. Thinking of this, Gong Du hurriedly took a deep look at Zhang Ning and said, "I don't know what is the big trouble for the two of us?" How to get rid of it? Please show me the young master! ”

Zhang Ning had already put away his smile and said, "Since Senior Brother Gong and Senior Brother Liu are the joint masters here, then the only way to do this is when Senior Brother Liu comes, and the little sister will show you a clear way." However, it is inconvenient for the little sister to stay here for a long time, what to do, Senior Brother Gong will do it himself. ”

Gong Du said yes, bowed and retreated. Looking at the murderous men outside the door, Gong Du couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly came to the front hall, went straight to Liu Bi's side, and whispered: "Senior Brother Liu, the holy daughter is here." ”

"Ahh Liu Bi's hand holding the wine cup shook violently, and the wine had already spilled out.

Gong Du ignored Jian Yong's strange gaze and continued: "The Holy Maiden invites Senior Brother Liu to see you later, there is something important to discuss. ”

Although Liu Bi already had seven or eight points of alcohol, when he heard that the holy maiden had arrived, he didn't dare to slack off, arched his hand towards Jian Yong, and said, "Master Jian, you stay here for a while, Liu and Senior Brother Gong will go to the back to deal with private matters, and they will be back in a moment." ”

In the eyes of Jian Yong and others, Taiping Dao is not only a rebellion of the imperial court, but also has some mysterious colors, since Gong Du and Liu Pi keep saying that it is a private matter and a family matter, Jian Yong is not good to ask, so he has to stand up suspiciously, arch his hand and say: "Two generals, you and I have discussed good things, remember to remember." ”

Gong Du laughed and said, "If Lord Jian is not at ease, tomorrow my two brothers will hand over the defense of Pingyu City to your lord." ”

Jian Yong snorted and said continuously: "General Gong's words are serious. ”

Gong Du then took Liu Pi and walked towards the side hall. Seeing the team of murderous men outside the door, Liu Bi hesitated and said, "Look at this posture, the saint is not good." Senior Brother Gong has to think clearly, this Runan is the country that you and I have laid down. ”

At the banquet just now, whenever the maidservant served food and poured wine, Liu Bi couldn't help but squint his eyes and put his hands up and down, and these scenes were all seen by Jian Yong. The moment Gong Du left, Jian Yong took the opportunity to have a long talk with Liu Pi, promising that when Lujiang was defeated, the concubines in Yuan Shu's mansion would be selected by him, and he would be promoted to serve as the Taishou of Runan. Yuan Shu himself was already extravagant, with hundreds of concubines, and with Jian Yong's promise, Liu Bi had already been thrilled and wanted to help Liu Bei, so when he heard that Zhang Ning suddenly came here, Liu Bi had more eyes, worried that she was here to grab the land.

Where did Gong Du know Liu Bi's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense, you and I know the saint's character, how can it harm us." ”

As he spoke, he had already entered the side hall. Zhang Ning got up and said, "Since the two senior brothers are here, then the little sister will speak straight if she has something to say." Now it is not the year of Jiazi, but the two senior brothers are holding high the banner of righteousness at this time, don't they know that a catastrophe is coming? ”

Gong Du had already been moved by Jian Yong's words and had the intention to take refuge in Liu Bei, but Taiping Dao was against the government, so he didn't dare to say these words to Zhang Ning. Now listening to the meaning of Zhang Ning's words, it seems that she doesn't want to confront the government anymore, so she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched her hand and said: "The holy woman is right, as long as there is a way to live, who wants to make a living on the tip of the knife." ”

Zhang Ning had already guessed that other forces were also trying to win over Gong Du and Liu Bi, and listening to Gong Du's meaning, it seemed that they had been moved by the distinguished guest, but they didn't know which side that distinguished guest belonged to. Zhang Ning didn't continue to ask, but turned to Liu Bi and said, "Senior Brother Gong knows the overall situation, I don't know what Senior Brother Liu means?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Bi was stunned for a moment, and asked with an embarrassed expression, "What did the Holy Maiden say?" ”

As soon as he entered the side hall, Liu Bi was attracted by Zhang Ning. As Zhang Jiao's personal disciple, although Liu Bi's qualifications are not good, he often walks around Zhang Jiao's house, so he naturally has seen Zhang Ning. However, at that time, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Ning unscrupulously like this. I haven't seen her for a few years, Zhang Ning, who is married to a wife, has a happy life, and she has a little more charm than back then, which makes Liu Bi's eyes light up, and he didn't listen to what Zhang Ning said.

Zhang Ning also felt Liu Bi's aggressive eyes, frowned, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Now it is not as good as the Jiazi years, there are strong enemies around Runan, if the two senior brothers don't find a way out early, disaster will not be far away!" ”

Liu Pise made his mind dizzy, and he relied on the wine, he didn't know the north and south of the world, his mind turned, and he actually started Zhang Ning's idea, and said with a sneer: "The holy woman is reasonable, Senior Brother Gong and I are planning, and we want to vote for a master, and when the time comes, it will be indispensable to soar." If the saint is willing, the disciple is willing to share the glory with the saint. ”

Pound was furious and shouted: "Bold thief, dare to be rude to my wife!" Eat me! ”

As he spoke, he moved, and the big knife in his hand went straight to Liu Pi with a gust of wind.

Zhang Ning said in a deep voice: "General Pang, slow down!" ”

With a flick of Pang De's wrist, the big knife grazed along the top of Liu Bi's head, smashing Liu Bi's helmet to pieces, and a few strands of hair slowly fell to the ground. In fact, Pang De didn't want to take Liu Bi's life, otherwise this knife would go down, Liu Bi would have no possibility of escaping, Rao is like this, and Liu Bi was scared to the point that his face was pale, and most of the wine had already woken up.

Gong Du hurriedly said: "The holy maiden is angry, Senior Brother Liu has drunk a few more glasses of wine, and then he has no words. But I don't know where this general is sacred? ”

By this time, Gong Du was completely sure that Zhang Ning was married to a big man. However, due to Zhang Ning's identity as the saintess of Taiping Dao, Gong Du did not dare to ask Zhang Ning directly, so he had to speculate by inquiring about Pang De.

Pang De didn't hide it, he paused for a big knife, and said in a deep voice: "Pang Mou is a general under the command of General Xu of the First Army of the Han Dynasty, who is the master of Fang that you just said?" My wife came in person, to remember your old friendship, to save your life, you and others did not know that the time of death was near, and they still spoke foul words to themselves, I really don't know what to do. ”

Speaking of this, Pang De suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Zhang Ning, and said: "These thieves are not worthy of Mrs. pity, and the last general will dare to ask Mrs. to return to the house." ”

Zhang Ning waved his hand and said, "Two senior brothers, my husband is now guarding Guanzhong, holding 100,000 male soldiers. If the two senior brothers are willing to return to the land of Runan, the little sister can still agree to what the Lord promised just now. Runan is really a land of projectiles, if my husband waives his army south, it will be desirable in an instant, if it is not for the old friendship, why should the little sister do more? Where to go, the two senior brothers think twice. ”

Gong Du is very clear about the situation around him, Liu Xin and Cao Cao are the two most powerful forces around Runan, no matter which one is stronger than Liu Bei, and Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Xin, and taking refuge in Liu Xin is obviously more promising than taking refuge in Liu Bei. couldn't help but turn to Liu Bi and said, "Senior Brother Liu, what do you think?" ”

Liu Bi had just recovered from the horror of that knife, and said in a trembling voice: "As long as the conditions are right, it doesn't matter where we go, it's just how Lord Jian explains?" ”
