Chapter 19: Abduction
"Who are you—dare to insult me, come on—drag me out and kill me!" Zhang Mancheng heard Zhou Yu scold as soon as he met and pointed his nose, and suddenly his seven prongs were angry.
"Hmph—I see who dares!" Zhou Yu looked at the yellow turban wrestlers who came over fearlessly. "If you are Zhang Jiao's loyal disciples, then you dare to kill the junior disciples of the Great Sage and Good Master? Are you right, the great sages and good teachers who teach you to help the world and the people? Can I compare to my identity as a godbreaker? Get out of here! ”
After Zhou Yu scolded him, he didn't look at the yellow turban wrestlers who were around, and pulled over a chair and sat down with a swagger, and Liu Xie and Dian Wei also found a place to sit down.
Seeing that Zhang Manchester City was helpless, for the first time, someone put his neck in front of them, but they couldn't go under the knife; First, they have not yet started an incident, and they have contacted and developed many believers, but the vast majority of them are ordinary people whose conscience has not been extinguished; Second, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army can develop is to help the people of the world and not kill innocent people; The third is that Zhang Jiao is the god in their minds, a bodhisattva who saves suffering, if he kills God's junior brother before his identity is determined, how can he be worthy of the great sage and good teacher and his old man. Zhang Mancheng can command these yellow turban wrestlers to kill corrupt officials and local ruffians who harm the people, but he can't do anything but resist them. The heart of killing has not risen, but the conscience of man is still there!
"Stand down—a jug of wine, pour it for these guys!" Zhang Mancheng waved his hand helplessly, he also believed Zhou Yu's words a little in his heart, no one can face so many blades and still scold himself without changing his face, or this person is a fool? Or is the person's identity real? But to be able to stay by the prince's side and avoid a few pursuits, he will not be incompetent. Rather believe it than believe it, Zhang Mancheng made up his mind to try it first, and then he arranged for someone to go back to report to Zhang Jiao.
"Gongzi Zhou, what guts! In the face of the blade on the neck, you can still be so calm, and you can only admire it in the next wave! Bo Cai saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he made a round.
"Don't dare to be! This is also the first time that this son has seen my senior brother treat me like this, which is kind of interesting! What is the purpose of holding me hostage, tell me bluntly! Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to Zhang Mancheng and Bocai's small actions at all, and the TV series in his previous life had already played these badly.
"Hehe-Gongzi Zhou said with a smile, it's not to kidnap you but to invite you to have a small gathering with His Royal Highness the Prince. There's one thing I don't understand, you and the tutor are ...... Senior brother? I have been serving the tutor for many years, and I have never heard the tutor mention you, and Mr. Zhou seems to be a little younger. I wonder if Zhou Gongzi can solve my doubts? Zhang Mancheng has completely changed at this moment, restrained his anger, and returned as a harmless scholar.
"Hmph.... Still don't believe me, do you? Do you know who your master is taught by? ”
"Eh-according to my master, he is a god worshiped in the deep mountains as a teacher, and the old immortal is called Nanhua Immortal." Zhang Mancheng said cautiously.
"Come on—it seems you don't know, let me tell you! The Nanhua immortals taught Zhang Jiao the three volumes of the Book of Heaven, and later Zhang Jiao began to practice medicine everywhere after coming down the mountain, and created the Taiping Sect to develop the sect. And the Nanhua immortals have three brothers, and the road numbers are Nanhua, Zuo Ci, and Yu Ji. I am the master and Zuo Ci Immortal, the Nanhua Immortal is my uncle, and Zhang Jiao is my senior brother. Got it now, right? Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Mancheng and interrupted him with a loud voice.
"I see-disciples Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai see Uncle Shi! Please take a seat, uncle-" The two of them now stand up directly to pay homage to Zhou Yu regardless of whether it is true or not, in ancient times, the most important thing was to pay attention to the inheritance of the teacher, plus Zhou Yu said that he had a nose and eyes, they had indeed heard that Zhang Jiao had three volumes of the Book of Heaven in his hands, and only a few confidants knew about confidential matters, and only Zhang Jiao's fellow disciples were undoubtedly broken by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu didn't move, just waved his hand to signal Zhang Mancheng and Bo to sit back first, and said with a sigh of relief: "Now that you have figured it out, shouldn't you tell me why you kidnapped us here?" And you've been chasing us all the way before? Who instructed it? Zhang Jiao? ”
"No, Master doesn't know about it! This is someone from our side who contacted the people in the palace, and someone in the palace wanted the prince's life, as for the group of people in black, we don't know which wave it belongs to, but I only found out about it after you fled, so I changed the killing to live capture by ordering it. Zhang Mancheng said and looked at Zhou Yu's face carefully, the cowardly prince must have relied on this little uncle to escape, otherwise he would have been killed.
"Is the person taking this job there? Do you know who in the palace wants to kill the prince? Call it out and let me ask. What was your purpose in kidnapping the prince? Zhou Yu said that he dared to be affectionate, and his guess was the same, it was definitely an internal ghost that could have an assassination incident, once he asked who was the mastermind, he didn't have to do it himself when he went back, and the prince Liu Xie and the son of heaven Liu Hong could take care of him.
"Uncle Shi, the person who contacted the joint did not come out of Luoyang City, and I can't know who it is until that person comes back. Capturing the prince alive is the food and silver I want to exchange for the future. Zhang Mancheng didn't know the identities of Dian Wei and Liu Xie, and he didn't dare to tell about the preparations for the uprising.
"Hey—I thought something was going on? Isn't it just asking for money and food? Prince Ben promised you, as long as you put me back, you can have as much as you want! "Prince Liu Xie has heard it for a long time, Zhou Yu is their little uncle who has never met, someone in the palace wants to kill him, and these people in front of him are in order to exchange themselves for some money and food, this matter is much simpler, he is afraid that Zhou Yu will not answer and hurriedly speak.
"That Manchester City! Don't talk about the future things first, just say that you have done two things for me, one is to use these people of yours as bandits to go to Luoyang City to let the city pay money and food to ransom people; the second is to find out who wants the prince's life; I must accompany the prince at all times, don't doubt that my master confessed, and I can't help it! Consult with the prince about the amount of money and grain, and if the prince can accept it, you will ask for it. Zhou Yu said here, and finally put his heart in his stomach.
"Okay, good, good、—— or Uncle Shi came to Changliang, how much food have you decided to pay for that prince?" Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai's hearts were full of joy, and their eyes were full of joy.
"There is no problem, this prince promised to give as much as he wanted! But can you give us some good food and drinks? I haven't eaten anything in the past few days. Prince Liu Xie also smiled, at least he is safe now.
"Someone—get ready for wine and food!"
With an order, Zhou Yu and his party became guests, and the three of them went out to bathe and change clothes first.
"Your Majesty - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhou Yu have news!" A small yellow door hurriedly ran in.
"What happened to the two of them? You're not going to find a corpse, are you? Liu Hong hurriedly pushed away the maid beside him, and tidied up his clothes a little.
"Your Majesty, please see—" Xiao Huangmen presented Liu Hong with a notice.
The notice reads: Today, the prince of the Han Dynasty was in distress and was rescued by us in a safe place. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give us 5,000 stone of grain and 1,000 gold as a reward for our hospitality, and since our status is too low for official contact, please send the things to the designated place before noon tomorrow. If there are any troops or horses or things are not available, then you will receive the heads of the crown prince and Zhou Yu. But don't worry, as long as we receive something, we will naturally release people, you can choose no! Signed: Black Mountain Old Demon
