Chapter 59, Interception

"Brother Chang Sheng, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." Zhang Liao looked at Lu Zhan and said with hope on his face.

"Wenyuan's matter is my business, please say."

"Lord Dong said that he would raise troops to march east to Luoyang, and he has ordered me and Huaxiong to be the vanguard, and we will open the road first tomorrow morning." Zhang Liao glanced back at the two people behind him as he spoke, especially on the young woman for a while, with tenderness in his eyes, and then turned his head and said, "These two are my fellow villagers, and they just arrived here ten days ago." I would have liked to keep them for more, but now I'm afraid it's impossible. I hope Brother Chang Sheng will help me take care of them after I leave. Otherwise, I'm afraid that those minions of Huaxiong in Liangzhou City will find trouble for them when the time comes. ”

"It's easy, it's on me." Lu Zhan nodded in agreement.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, are they your fellow countrymen? I don't think one of them will be your old look, right? At this time, a somewhat discordant voice sounded behind Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan turned his head and saw that Ma Chao didn't know when he got up, and at the moment he was standing under the eaves stretching his waist with a smile on his face, and his two bright eyes roamed over Zhang Liao and the young and beautiful woman from time to time.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Zhan scolded him, thinking: Brother Yi, do you want to say this? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but it's embarrassing for you to pierce the "window paper".

"Oh~" Ma Chao stuck out his tongue, grimaced, and didn't speak.

Zhang Liao was not angry, his face was hot, and he smiled; The young woman's white duck egg face was flushed with shame, as if she had been smeared with rouge, and she lowered her head a little cowardly; On the contrary, the tiger-headed young man was a little dissatisfied, and looked at Ma Chao with wide eyes, as if he was going to release a call to call him.

"Wenyuan, it just so happens that my mission to come to Liangzhou City has also been completed, and it's okay to stay here. I think I'll leave here in the afternoon and take them to a relatively safe place. Lu Zhan "relieved" Zhang Liao and said-he thought of Jianzhishan and Taoyuan Village, in addition, He Qian, who was a little worried about him, was still there, I don't know if her injuries are clear?

"That's fine." The expression on Zhang Liao's face returned to naturalness, and he thought for a while, "I don't know what you want me to prepare?" ”

"Three handsome horses, some dry food, water, and some coils. Of course, it's better if you help someone get more clothes. Lu Zhan said the back, glancing at the beautiful girl who was still with her head down, with a smile like "I already know the relationship between the two of you" on her face.

"Okay, that's on me." Zhang Liao looked at Lu Zhan and said gratefully. If Lu Zhan hadn't reminded him, he really didn't expect this as a big man. But Lu Zhan is different, because he comes from the 21st century, and he must be a little more careful in this regard than the ancients.

"Big brother, how can you say it's okay to stay here? Wouldn't it be better to stay longer and spend more time with me? What are you doing in a hurry? Suddenly, Ma Chao walked over and said in a somewhat resentful voice.

"Hey, brother-in-law, do you think Dong Zhuo will take you with him when he raises troops to the east? He'll definitely take you along. So, we'll see you again in Luoyang. Lu Zhan knocked on his skull.

"Ah, yes, if he left me here, my father and mother would have sent someone to take me back if he found out. And Liangzhou City, which is not guarded by Dong Zhuo, is absolutely vulnerable. He certainly wouldn't do that, because he was afraid of letting the tiger go. Ma Chao frowned and pouted.

"You can teach." Lu Zhan praised him, and then said, "There are also Ah Lu, Xue Yong and others, you also have to settle them well." Otherwise, Hua Xiong's henchmen who remained in Liangzhou City might be unfavorable to them. ”

"Then let them go with Big Brother." Ma Chao raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's hard to act when there are too many people, and when the goal is too big, I can't protect it." Lu Zhan already had an idea in his heart, and said eloquently, "Didn't you say that Xue Yong's literary talent is outstanding, and he is well-versed in the past and the present?" Wouldn't it be better for you to have someone send them to your father and let him do the best of both worlds? ”

"Oops, why didn't I think of that? That's a really good idea. Ma Chao stretched out his hand and patted his head.

Then they washed up, ate their breakfast, and went about their own business.

Now, Lu Zhan's most urgent thing is to earn contribution points - there are still more than 7,000 points on his body, and the most direct way to earn contribution points is to do good deeds.

In Liangzhou City during the day, people come and go, and the river is endless. Lu Zhan walked on the street, turning around, looking for a money village, wanting to exchange the ten taels of gold that Dong Zhuo had rewarded him for broken silver and distribute it to the people in need in Liangzhou City.

A quarter of an hour later, he was disappointed: after walking several streets, where did he see the shadow of the rich bank? However, he immediately woke up: maybe there was no money bank in the society at this time - who would dare to open a money bank in social turmoil?

Glancing at the rows of wooden houses on both sides of the street, Lu Zhan plunged headlong into a pharmacy that looked quite large.

"Shopkeeper, can you help me exchange this ingot of gold for broken silver?" He walked directly to a rectangular quaint counter, took out the gold in his arms, and looked at a middle-aged man behind the counter who was weighing medicinal herbs and dressed appropriately.

"How much?" The middle-aged man turned his head and looked, his eyes widened, a trace of greed flashed in it, he stopped the movements of his hands, and a look of slaughter did not negotiate on his pockmarked face.

"1,000 taels."

"If you don't change it, it's up to 900 taels."

"990 taels."

“920。”

“980。”

"930, I won't change it again." The middle-aged shopkeeper got up, turned his face away, and raised his chin high.

"Okay, okay, 930 is 930." Lu Zhan endured this.

……

Almost an hour later, Lu Zhan distributed all the silver taels to the men, women, and children in the city who were dressed ordinarily and had dark faces. Finally, when I asked the secret system in my mind how much contribution value I had gained this time, the secret system replied: You helped 850 people this time and gained 8,500 contribution points.

"Damn, the dead shopkeeper, and embezzled eighty taels of silver from me." When he heard this, he couldn't help but curse - he remembered that one person gave one or two pieces of silver, why was there so much less?

After returning to Ma Chao's residence, he saw that Zhang Liao had brought three tall horses and three packages, one of which was very large. Lu Zhan smiled knowingly. Soon, Ma Chao also came back, saying that he had spent a lot of money to hire people to send Ah Lu, Xue Yong and others to Zhangye County.

After lunch, Lu Zhan took the two young men and women named Yunying Yunyan under the escort of Zhang Liao and Ma Chao to the southeast and went out of Liangzhou City for ten miles, and the two sides said goodbye.

"Big brother, if you go to Luoyang first, you have to wait for me." Seeing them riding away on horseback, Ma Chao waved his hand and wiped his eyes and shouted loudly. Although he was with Lu Zhan for a short time, he treated him as his own big brother, and even surpassed him.

"Brother Ma, let's go back for a better reunion." Zhang Liao glanced at them one last time, turned his head and said to Ma Chao.

……

Lu Zhan originally thought that the young woman named Yunyan was not very good at riding horses, but he was relieved to see that she was not inferior to a man in kung fu all the way.

At this time, they came to the foot of a mountain without stopping. The mountains are not high, and the trees are scarce, but the strange rocks are towering, like the heads of many monsters poking out, and they seem to reach out and bite people at any time.

Lu Zhan estimated that it was about forty miles away from Liangzhou City, and in order to take care of Yunyan, he said loudly, "Let's stop and rest." "Pull the reins and slow down.

Before the three of them could stop, at a bend in the path ahead, more than twenty masked men swarmed out. I heard the man who bore the brunt wave his hand and shout, "Spread out, intercept them, don't let them run." ”
