For Zhang Chao's trust, Lu Su naturally agreed, in fact, it was not the first time he had done such a thing.

Before leaving, Zhang Chao went to see his eldest brother Zhang Miao again, which is also a common practice.

After that, a caravan of fifty people under the banner of Zhangjia Trading Company set off from Jinyang City. Including Zhang Chao himself, he was not wearing a white dress that represented his identity, but changed into a businessman-like appearance, and the iron guards below were also wearing the ordinary clothes of the trading company one by one, which made outsiders look at it from a distance, and they couldn't imagine that this inconspicuous caravan, the general was mixed in it.

The caravan slowly left Jinyang City and headed straight in the direction of Goryeo.

And just as Zhang Chao left Jinyang City, there were people following behind him, quietly following him, these people were all dressed very ordinary, no different from other businessmen, which made the omniscient Tianyan Organization not notice.

...... ......

In the middle of a wooden hut, on a solid wooden bed, a young man was lying on it, looking from afar, his brow furrowed and his face pale.

"Old man, is he still saved? It's the seventh day, but I haven't woken up yet. A woman of about fifty years of age, dressed in a patch, looked at the man on the wooden bed and asked softly.

Another man of about fifty years old, who was also dressed with patches but had a sturdy figure, shook his head after listening to the woman's questioning, "I don't know, but I tried just now, and he still has a snort, so he shouldn't be dead yet." Well, in any case, even if we have saved him, we must do our best, all right, old woman, I have struck a hare yesterday, and you can go and make it for him, and let him drink some fresh soup. ”

"Okay." Listening to the old man's instructions, the old woman agreed, and turned to leave. It was just that the old man looked at the man lying on the bed and sighed softly.

The man rode on a horse and came to the old man who was hunting in the mountains in a coma, and then he was taken home and has been asleep until now, a full seven days.

The old man couldn't figure out the identity of the man, but what he knew was that the identity of this person should not be simple, which could be seen from the white horse and the expensive armor, as well as the shining silver spear, all of which proved that the man's identity was not bad.

Yes, the man who was in a coma for seven days and did not wake up was Zhao Yun, after he was seriously injured, the jade lion in the north night took him across the river and brought him to the mountain, and he happened to meet the old man, so he picked up a life. It's just that when he will wake up next, everything depends on his creation.

...... ......

Baishan Station.

This is one of the common post stations in the northeast of Goryeo and Rus' from Byeju to the northeast.

Because of the complex terrain here, it is surrounded by mountains, and even from a distance, there are more than 100 of them.

And here, today ushered in a group of businessmen, they are Zhang Chao and others under the banner of Zhangjia Trading Company.

Traveling all the way, Zhang Chao took Dian Wei and Xu Yu and fifty iron guards, and after crossing most of Youzhou, he appeared at the Baishan Post Station in the administrative land of Liaoxi County.

When he appeared here, he was not far from the country of Goryeo, and he was afraid that he could reach it in four or five days.

Seeing that they had already walked half the way, Dian Wei and Xu Yu and others also showed a look of hope on their faces, and they who followed Zhang Chao knew too well how the lord had lived in the past few days, frowning every day, with a preoccupied look, which made them as guards look quite distressed.

Zhang Chao is really in a bad mood these days.

Zhao Yun's disappearance made Zhang Chao feel confused. He couldn't figure out why Zhao Yun, who had always been brave and resourceful, would take only a thousand soldiers to provoke the most powerful Rus state in the north.

The Rus' country, with its vast territory, is far from being comparable to the current Han Dynasty. And because of the climate, the people there are far more able to endure hardships than ordinary people, which also makes them have a hint of stubbornness in their temperament.

After the fact, the Tianyan Organization also investigated, this is a warlike people, and is now on the road to prosperity under the leadership of a man named Yaxiong Fuqiang.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Han Dynasty cannot defeat the Rus' State. This fact, Zhang Chao also asked the members of Tianyan to inform Zhao Yun, he didn't believe that Zilong would not know about this matter, but he still went to provoke the other party, why is this?

Zhang Chao, who couldn't figure it out, was a little distressed, lost the news of Zhao Yun, and might face the anger of the Rus Kingdom next, Zhang Chao didn't know what would happen next for a while.

Baishan Post Station, said to be a post station, is actually just a few empty houses. It is only used by merchants who usually pass by to rest, and there is not even a single official living here.

After Zhang Chao and the others came here, Dian Wei hurriedly took the iron guard to clean up, which made room for Zhang Chao to rest.

At this time, it was the end of March and the beginning of April, and the weather in Jinyang City had warmed up, but at Baishan Station, at night, the weather was still a little cold, but fortunately, Dian Wei and others had already lit a charcoal fire in the room, and the room was still warm.

Zhang Chao, who had taken off his coat, was sitting next to the brazier at this time, with a little confusion in his eyes, still puzzled by what happened in Goryeo.

Liu Bei, with the help of Zhuge Liang, had stabilized Jingzhou and had an army of 300,000; Cao Cao is also recovering his strength, and with the ability of the four states, it must not take long to become strong again; Yuan Shao, who was at the closest distance, was also expanding his army, and Tianyan reported that the number of their troops had also reached hundreds of thousands; In addition to Dong Zhuo in the west, who has been staring at the place of Sili, the situation of the entire Han Dynasty seems to have become dangerous again.

And at this time, something happened here in Gaoli, and Zhang Chao felt a little lacking for a while.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Jin Dynasty in history, it took a long time. Under the three-legged force, Wei, Shu, and Wu have also fought for many years. All these lessons seem to tell Zhang Chao that it is not a simple matter to quickly unify the whole country by himself, and there may be a long way to go for him.

My thoughts were a little confused, one thought of the relationship between the princes, one thought of Goryeo, and another thought of how Zhao Yun was now, was something really wrong?

This made Zhang Chao's brain even more confused, and he unconsciously felt a little dizzy, and the drowsiness hit his heart.

"Who?" Just when Zhang Chao's consciousness was a little blurred and he was about to fall asleep, Dian Wei's loud shouting suddenly sounded outside, and this shout also woke up Zhang Chao, who was about to meet Zhou Gong.

In addition to the shouting, there was a sound of swords striking outside, which made Zhang Chao quickly get up, come to the bed, put on his coat and pick up the matching sword on his body.

Voices outside were already telling him that something was wrong. When Zhang Chao had just made these preparations, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then Xu Yu appeared in front of him with six iron guards.

Hearing the sound of the door, Zhang Chao raised his sword in front of him, ready to fight at any time, but when he saw that it was Xu Yu who came, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked out loud, "What's wrong?" What's going on out there? ”

"Lord!" After seeing that Zhang Chao was not unanimous, Xu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said: "Lord, some black-clothed assassins suddenly appeared outside, it's not safe here, let's leave quickly." ”

"Assassins?" Hearing this word, Zhang Chao was stunned. How could there be Assassins in this wilderness? Do they think they are ordinary businessmen who want to commit robbery?

As if seeing Zhang Chao's doubts, Xu Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, the people who came here are not weak, they actually fought with the Iron Guard, they must not be ordinary people." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Xu Yuzhi's words, Zhang Chao said with a stunned expression: "So, these people are coming at me." ”

When he said this, Zhang Chao already had a gloomy face.

This time he came out of Jinyang City, it can be said that he was quiet, but he was still discovered by others, and followed all the way here, it seems that he really wants to die.

After knowing that the other party was not good, Zhang Chao said: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Zhang Chao is not a person who is afraid of things, even if the enemy has chased here, then he also has to see who it is. He suddenly had a feeling in his heart that from the beginning of Zhao Yun's accident to the present, he was afraid that it was a serial conspiracy of the other party.

Zhang Chao's idea was good, these assassins were coming at him. And the person who was the leader, and Dian Wei was the one who set up an ambush for Zhao Yun before.

Behind Shi A, there was also an old man standing. The thin figure looks like he is in his fifties, but the light in his eyes shows that this person's strength is extraordinary.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Yu walked out with an iron guard to protect Zhang Chao. As soon as they appeared, the voice of the old man who had not moved his hand came out, "Is it the general Zhang Chao in front?" Hahaha, didn't expect us to meet again. ”

Listening to these slightly familiar voices, Zhang Chao stood in front of the door and looked at each other, and at a glance he saw the old man who was very obvious in the crowd, and immediately frowned, "Wang Yue!" ”

The old man is none other than Wang Yue, the teacher who once taught the emperor's swordsmanship, and once had the title of emperor's master.

And today, he appeared here, and it was on the order of Prime Minister Cao Cao that he came to rob and kill Zhang Chao.
