Walking all the way, it took half an hour to get to the south gate. In front of the city gate, Dian Wei and Xu Chu had already waited here with five thousand Zhang Jiajun in armor. After seeing Gan Ning coming from a distance, Dian Wei rode forward and shouted, "Gan Ning, you remember you." If my lord is injured by a hair, there is only one thing I can do for the rest of my life, and that is to kill you. ”

"Me too." Xu Chu also rode out.

"I'll wait the same." The five thousand cavalry of the Zhang family army shouted in unison. The voice resounded through the clouds and night, and it could not be dispersed for a long time.

Gan Ning looked at this situation, he was a little excited, he also hoped that he would have such a day, he could become such a person, even if it was to become a member of the five thousand Zhang family army.

Gan Ning didn't answer anything, he believed that he would be able to show everything with practical actions in the future. He still escorted Zhang beyond the city gate and left Jinyang City.

Zhang went beyond the city, and Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others obeyed the order and did not go out of the city to chase after him. But more than 5,000 people stood on their horses in this way, looking in the direction of the lord's departure, and they firmly believed that the lord would return safe and sound.

In the general's mansion, Bai Tong and the others who were sent back had already cried.

Cai Yan, who knew the news, was already unconscious at this time. Originally, during the confinement, his body was a little weak, but now after learning that Zhang Lang was kidnapped, he fainted. Hua Tuo has already arrived and is being treated.

In the backyard, Lu Fei, the executor of the Tianyan Organization, was angrily scolding several of his right-hand men, "What are you all doing to eat, didn't I say it?" If you want to be mixed in with the people and save the second son at the right time, what have you done one by one? ”

In the face of Lu Fei's angry rebuke, several henchmen were a little aggrieved. They were even determined to save the second son, but Zhang Chao himself did not cooperate and forbade them to do so.

Although it is true to say that Lu Fei is their head, Zhang Chao is the boss, and now that he is being reprimanded, he has only one to bow his head and remain silent.

Lu Fei was tired after scolding for a long time, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, no matter what the reason, you haven't completed the task well, now go to the court to ask for a charge." Remember, the second son is fine, maybe you will come out one day, if the second son has something, you will all be martyred. ”

"No." In the face of such a harsh decision, none of the confidants had the intention of refuting it. Everything they have is given by Zhang Chao, and if something really happens to the lord, they would rather be buried for him.

In the general's mansion, because Zhang Chao was robbed, he fell into a solemn atmosphere, and a sad atmosphere made everyone who went there feel it clearly.

Compared with the sad atmosphere in the house, Zhang Chao, who came out of Jinyang City, was indeed very relaxed.

Out of the city, Gan Ning didn't say anything about tying Zhang Chao up, on the contrary, his brothers were still carefully serving Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao is the identity of a general, and he is also the lord of merger, seclusion and division. There are millions of people under his rule, and hundreds of thousands of troops. They hadn't thought they would have anything to do with such characters before. But now not only was this man by his side, but he was also their captive, which caused them to tremble.

To say that in the waters of the Yangtze River, the Jinfan thieves can be regarded as having some fame and a little power. It's just that this thing is really not worth mentioning compared to what Zhang Chao has. In the face of such a big person, it is impossible to say that they have no fear at all.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Zhang Chao did not show the consciousness of becoming a hostage, on the contrary, he kept smiling, and from time to time he would say something to Gan Ning beside him.

"I'm talking about Xingba. The husband is standing in the world, he should make a difference, do you want to be a thief all your life? Zhang Chao took this opportunity and began to persuade him.

"Xingba, now is a world of chaos. It is indeed an inopportune time for ordinary people, but for a hero like you, it is the time to use it, have you ever thought that with your skills and good water nature, you should be a general who commands thousands of troops. It's not that he is a thief and a thief, and he is blamed. ”

"Xingba, I think you are also a good man, I don't know if you have the heart to serve me, you don't know, I have built a naval army now, and there is a lack of a general who is familiar with water warfare, if you are willing, command 10,000 people, even tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, it is also a matter of imminence."

Zhang Chao chattered endlessly like Tang Seng on TV, constantly pouring the idea of being a general into Gan Ning.

"Xingba, don't you want your wife and children and descendants to respect you in the future? Don't you want them to look at you with envy and adoration on their faces when they talk about you? Don't you want to glorify your ancestors? If you want, I can do it for you. Zhang Chao saw that Gan Ning had not spoken, so he just continued to speak.

In this way, along the way, Zhang Chao was a little thirsty, and he came to a place twenty miles south of Jinyang City in the evening.

"We'll rest here tonight." Seeing a big tree in front of him, which was very obvious in this wilderness, Gan Ning finally spoke, pointing to the front and saying.

More than 100 brothers stepped forward together, and after removing some weeds under the tree with the weapons in their hands, they each found a fairly clean place and lay down.

Zhang Chao was no exception, and he also lay down against the big tree.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the world was full of stars, and some of the more than 100 people below began to snore.

And among them is Zhang Chao's voice, this day down, it is indeed very tired, now that he has a place to live temporarily, he naturally fell asleep quickly.

Gan Ning on the side was holding the Xingyue Knife in his hand, and he really couldn't sleep for a long time.

He felt like he was dreaming about what had happened today.

Originally, I wanted to rob a gold store and grab some good accessories to please my newly robbed mother-in-law. I never expected to meet Zhang Chao, and then there are so many things happening now.

His eyes moved involuntarily to the side, seeing that Zhang Chao was sleeping very soundly, and the sound of snoring would come out, he thought in his heart, what kind of person is this, in such an environment, and as a hostage, he can even sleep, doesn't he know his current situation? He could be beheaded at any time.

At the thought of killing Zhang Chao, Gan Ning couldn't help but shake his head. In the face of such a respected hero, he will not make a move. So is it good to release this person now, just release him, will this person order the officers and soldiers to arrest him? It's still a state border.

As soon as I thought of how to deal with Zhang Chao, I couldn't help but think of what Zhang Chao said in the afternoon.

To say that to become a general, to glorify the ancestors and ancestors, that is exactly what every self-proclaimed hero and hero pursues. Especially with a hero like Zhang Chao, it should be a very pleasant thing. Is it really possible to take the opportunity to become this person's subordinate? It's just that he still wanted to rob other people's wives during the day, and he took this person as a hostage, if he really chose like this, will everything he said come true?

Gan Ning fell asleep thinking about it. In the dream, I also saw that I really became a general commanding thousands of troops, and I looked like a glorious moment.

As soon as the morning dawned, the brothers woke up. Gan Ning also woke up, he habitually looked to the side, and saw Zhang Chao looking at him.

"What are you looking at me for?" Seeing Zhang Chao's scorching gaze, Gan Ning didn't know why, but he felt a sense of panic. It's as if someone has discovered the secret in my heart.

"I wonder if you've already made your decision?" Zhang Chao did not avoid Gan Ning's gaze, but asked rhetorically. After saying this, he also said: "I, Zhang Chao, am a human being, and I do what I say, and I am really optimistic about your ability, so I want to use it for myself." I might as well tell you that yesterday when I was out of the city, there were my men among the people, and if they attacked, I had an 80% chance of escaping, and a 10% chance of being injured and leaving. But I didn't, do you know why? ”

"Why?" was said by Zhang Chao, Gan Ning also thought that he did see a lot of men appear among the people yesterday, and now that he thinks about it, this statement is true.

"Because I don't want to watch a hero be killed like this, I don't want to watch Xingba die early, I still want to see what you look like when you become a general, and I want to see you fight in all directions and achieve fame." Zhang Chao did not shy away from speaking.

And it was these words that made Gan Ning's heart move, and the desire to take refuge in Zhang Chao last night was even more serious.

Noticing the change in the expression on Gan Ning's face, Zhang Chao said again: "Xingba, you are a good general who commands water operations, and you are also the talent I urgently need now." What do you think? Take your brothers to join me, I can guarantee that your future life will be very exciting, and you will definitely become the most dazzling person in your Gan family. ”

"That's enough." Listening to Zhang Chao's persuasive words again, Gan Ning really stopped him with a sigh of drinking. Then he said a sentence that made Zhang Chao and the other brothers stunned, "Okay, now that we are out of the city, we are already safe, and you can leave." ”

Gan Ning actually allowed Zhang Chao to leave, which was unexpected by others, and Zhang Zhiyuan didn't expect it. Instinctively, he said: "This is still the territory of the state, aren't you afraid that after I go back, the army will send people to hunt you down?" ”

Zhang Chao's words were exactly what the other Jinfan Thief brothers were thinking about, and they all nodded when they heard this, and then their eyes focused on Gan Ning, who was the leader.
