Zhang Lang returned to Moling, and it had been nearly half a month.

After a few days of recuperation, he has become vigorous and energetic. And the Dunjia Xuanmen Esoteric Sect, which was originally a little stagnant, unexpectedly broke through the first layer and entered the second layer after this ordeal. This made Zhang Lang extremely excited.

It's just a pity for Zhang Lang, after Wen Ji returned the goose feather fan to Huang Yueying, she happily returned to the division. I don't know when I will see her again in the future, and it may be far away. However, Zhang Lang secretly felt that he would still see Huang Yueying, and when he saw him again, he would definitely not be in the same situation as before. It's just a pity that the birthmark on Huang Yueying's face has become a small regret in Zhang Lang's heart.

This matter also subsided quickly, but Zhang Lang went out in the future, and every time he went out, he had to arrange to bring a large number of guards, which was a request of the civil and military officials, and Zhang Lang would not have agreed, he was afraid of trouble. But as soon as he returned home, in the tearful eyes of several coquettish wives, Zhang Lang immediately raised a white flag and surrendered, there was no way, who called out the column of things, and he had no confidence to speak.

Just in the past few days when Zhang Lang was depressed, there was finally good news that before Zhou Yu left, he did a good thing that Zhang Lang was not sure of, and Sun Ce was willing to surrender. Sun Ce nodded, so Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Lu Su were naturally not a problem.

Zhang Lang took a sharp breath of the evil anger in his heart in the past few days, immediately bathed and changed his clothes, led the civil and military officials, and personally went to the prison to welcome the return of Sun Ce and others.

The prison is dark and damp, and it is said that there is no sunlight in the end, Zhang Lang treats Sun Ce and others well, and has always let the soldiers serve them well, and strictly forbade the soldiers to torture them, so Sun Ce was locked up in it, but it didn't feel like being in prison, but he was fat and fat, and he was a little blessed. Of course, Zhang Lang didn't see it with his own eyes, and he didn't know what his situation was, but when Zhou Yu came back, he said this to himself.

Zhang Lang ordered his people to wait at the door, and only took Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and other important ministers into the prison.

The prison is layered and heavily guarded. It is divided into "heaven" font size, "earth" font size, and "human" font size, the people with the number of heaven are all sentenced to death, and no one who is locked in it can come out alive; And in the name of "earth", it is generally a repeat offense, but the death penalty is avoidable, and the living crime cannot be escaped. The problem of the prisoners in the "person" is not very serious, but it is only a slight punishment, and generally the people here have no major offenses.

And Sun Ce and others were locked up in the prison of "Earth". Sun Ce doesn't fall for a day, Zhang Lang is ready to lock him up for a day, if he doesn't fall for a year, he will be locked up for a year, if he doesn't live or die, then he will be locked up for the rest of his life, even if there is a suspicion of killing people, it is better than returning to the mountain, with a lesson, Zhang Lang doesn't want to have a second time.

Walking into the gloomy dungeon, Zhang Lang couldn't help frowning, and Zhang Zhao and several pampered civil officials pinched their noses with a disgusted expression, obviously very uncomfortable with the rancid smell in the dungeon.

Under the respectful guidance of the guards, Zhang Lang was taken to the dungeon with the word "earth".

The prisoners in the cage on the side, all of them grabbed the iron bar, and looked at Zhang Lang and the others in surprise. Some of them lost no time in shouting "wronged", while others shouted insults, and their voices rose and fell from time to time, arguing with some of the prisoners who were resting to see what was going on.

The guards quickly led Zhang Lang and others to Sun Ce's prison.

The prison guard was about to open the prison door, Zhang Lang stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the key." ”

The guard glanced at Zhang Lang in surprise, and his eyes were even more admiring, he bowed down and held the key to Zhang Lang with both hands.

Zhang Lang opened the cell door with his own hands and walked in.

Zhang Zhao and others also followed.

Sun Ce was dressed in prison clothes, with his hands on his knees, his head bowed, and sat in a dark corner.

Zhang Lang's heart was filled with pity, and he wanted to be the master of the world, but now he has become a prisoner of the subordinates, and he will never see the sky. If the person with a weak will is afraid that everything will be discouraged by now and he will be ruined.

Zhou Yu grabbed ahead of Zhang Lang, took a few steps forward, and said to Sun Ce: "Brother, the lord has come to see you." ”

Sun Ce raised his head blankly, lord? What a familiar salutation and sound. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, his expression of surprise flashed, and when he saw Zhang Lang behind Zhou Yu, a deep despair and helplessness followed. Zhang Lang stood there, his tall and mighty body, standing straight, like a tall mountain, which would never be overcome.

Sun Ce looked at Zhang Lang blankly.

This is the era of reckless heroes, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain.

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Last night, I heard that Sun Bofu was willing to serve this general, and I was excited all night. Early this morning, I bathed and changed my clothes, and took the important ministers of Jiangdong to lead Bo Fu out of the mountain. Now with the help of Bo Fu, it is like a tiger with wings, and its strength has reached a higher level. Sweeping the world, it is said to be waiting. ”

Sun Ce was a little wooden on the surface, but with Zhou Yu's support, he stood up. After a long while, he muttered, "Thank you for the general's kindness." ”

Zhang Lang knew that he was still a little difficult to accept in his heart, grabbed him with one hand, and said with a smile: "Bo Fu, although you are named under my account, Lang will treat you like a brother, you ask Gongjin, ask Zilong, ask everyone under Zhang Lang, when have I treated them badly?" So you can rest assured. The place of the waves hopes to get your help, that is, to return peace to the world and justice to the world. Who will be the emperor at that time, to be honest, I don't care at all. ”

Sun Ce didn't say anything, he only took Zhang Lang's excuse. But Zhang Zhao and the others stopped doing it and began to persuade them with nonsense.

Zhang Lang shook his head, stopped Zhang Zhao from talking, and said to Sun Ce seriously: "Sun Ce, I hope you can really contribute to me, even if it is not for me, but also for the people of the world, after years of war and chaos, the people are homeless, how they live is really not what we can imagine." Don't hesitate anymore. ”

Sun Ce was still silent. Zhou Yu secretly pulled his sleeve. Sun Ce turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and saw that his eyes were full of expectation, and he sighed in his heart. I have already lost everything, even if I do my part for the people in the world. Sun Ce tidied up his clothes in front of everyone, and then respectfully made a big salute to Zhang Lang, and said softly: "From now on, Sun Ce is willing to surrender to General Zhang, and after the saddle of the horse, there will be no complaints. ”

Zhang Lang was very excited, it was not easy to make the arrogant Sun Ce speak, he pulled Sun Ce up, and said excitedly: "Okay, it will be my own family in the future." You can come to me if there's anything you need. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, and another fierce general." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Zhou Yu also said on the side at this time: "Brother, since this is the case, you should contribute to the lord." Huang Gai and Lu Su also like it very much, but you have to persuade them. ”

Sun Ce nodded and said, "It's natural. ”

Zhang Langxi said again and again: "Then there is a Lauber charm." He turned to Zhang Zhao again and said, "Today is really a great day, several of you will come to my house in the evening, and I will treat you." Last time, the insider sold a few bottles of good Western wine from a merchant, but I have never been willing to drink it, so I will let you taste it tonight. ”

Zhang Hong said with a bitter face: "Isn't it, my lord, Western wine?" You also know that Xia Guan can pour a cup. ”

Zhang Zhao immediately teased: "Haha, then you don't have a mouthful, the things that the lord took out must be the best, since this is the case, let the official do it for you." Don't thank me. ”

Zhang Hong immediately retorted: "Since it is a good thing taken out by the lord, even if the lower official is not sticky with wine, he has to try it with all his life." You're cheap, don't think about taking advantage of it today. ”

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "What, am I poisoned wine?" What is not fateful? You don't want to drink it, and I'm reluctant to take it out. ”

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "That's it, Zhang Hong, you can do it yourself." ”

Zhang Hong's face was confused: "Lord, I heard that this Western wine is very strong, is it true?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a serious face: "It's true." ”

Zhang Zhao said with a sly smile: "Okay, the stronger the stronger, the more energetic." But if someone who is afraid of pouring a cup should not say drink it, and should be dizzy when they smell it, right? Hahaha. Zhang Zhao laughed unscrupulously.

Zhang Hong blew his beard and glared and shouted, "Good Zhang Zhao, make fun of me like this." Tomorrow we will play a few games of chess. Whoever is going to lose, how about inviting everyone to Yexianglou for two drinks? ”

Zhang Zhao's laughter stopped, his mouth was still wide open, but the expression on his face looked very funny.

Zhang Hong then smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Zhang Zhao is proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, don't say that you can't play chess." ”

Zhang Lang also quipped on the side at this time: "Isn't it, Jiangdong's Minister of the Interior, he still doesn't know how to play chess?" ”

Zhang Zhao didn't expect to get angry, and he didn't want to lose face like this, as long as he slapped his swollen face and became fat, he said with confidence: "Come here, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Having said that, he only cried bitterness in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to bleed again in his pocket. Zhang Hong, this guy, chess is not ordinarily strong, he plays chess, sees who kills whom, and there is really no one in the entire Moling who is his opponent. Everyone knows this, no, there are a few people on the side who have already started snickering at themselves. Ay.

Sun Ce looked at Zhang Lang and their monarchs and ministers in harmony, and felt a little envious in his heart.

Zhang Lang suddenly said to Sun Ce: "Look, I forgot to talk to them, let's go out." It's not good to stay in this place for a long time. ”

Sun Ce smiled at Zhang Lang and said, "The general will go out first, and then go and see Huang Gai and them first." ”

Zhang Lang stared at Sun Ce, and there seemed to be blame in his eyes.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu incomprehensibly, and Zhou Yu said to Zhang Lang: "Lord, then let's go out first." ”

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu deliberately accentuated his voice with the word "lord", and suddenly understood in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he said again: "Lord, don't worry." ”

Zhang Lang laughed with satisfaction. With a wave of his big hand, he said, "Come on, bring the things." ”

The guards in the back brought up the new official uniform that had been prepared long ago, it was a pair of armor, and Zhang Lang said: "Change it into Bo Fu." ”

The guards replaced Sun Ce with all hands and feet. After the end, the whole look is new, although it has lost a little bit of the original sharpness, but it has become more mature and stable, and the wind of the general is still there, a good Jiangdong little overlord. Zhang Lang secretly praised in his heart.

Under Sun Ce's persuasion, Lu Su, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others were willing to surrender to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang's strength has greatly increased, and there is more space available for his subordinates to adjust.

Just when Zhang Lang persuaded Sun Ce to surrender, Liu Bei had another difficulty in Jiangling.

Liu Bei didn't know what the plan was, so he only took Guan Yu straight to go, but he was ambushed halfway, but fortunately, Guan Yu desperately protected Liu Bei and let Liu Bei escape, but the two were separated.

When Liu Bei was down, he fled to a mountain village.

I saw a village boy grazing cattle there, and stepped forward to ask.

The village boy didn't wait for Liu Bei to speak, so he said in that crisp childish voice: "This is Liu Bei's Uncle Liu Huang?" ”

Liu Bei was surprised, and when he saw the village boy's eyebrows and eyes, he asked, "How do you know?" ”

The village boy smiled and said, "My master commanded, let me be here for you to grow." ”

Liu Bei was even more strange: "Then how do you know that I am?" ”

The village boy said again: "My master said that Uncle Liu Huang must be down-dressed, but he looks like an extraordinary person. Isn't that just you? ”

Liu Bei was amazed and asked, "Who is the master of your family, how can you have the ability to predict the future?" ”

The village boy said: "My master is Sima Wei, Mr. Shuijing. ”

Liu Bei had never heard of this person's name, and this time he saw that he had met a strange person in the mountain, so he hurriedly asked the village boy to take it.

In the mountain path, it takes less than half a pillar of incense to walk for less than half a pillar of incense, and it is convenient to see a simple thatched hut with a fence, and some vegetables and livestock are planted in the front yard.

Liu Bei, under the guidance of Xiao Tong, soon came to the door.

The sound of the piano inside stopped abruptly, and then there was a hearty laugh: "The strings are blocked, and there will be distinguished guests." Little San, don't hurry up and bring your guests in. ”

Xiao Tong answered crisply and took Liu Bei in.

Liu Bei praised it, and immediately looked at this Mr. Shuijing after entering the house.

Sima Wei is already in his old age, full of white temples, but he is full of energy, there is no trace of aging, but he shows that he is old and strong, and his spirit is very good. At this time, he was looking at Liu Bei with a smile on his face.

Liu Bei hurriedly saluted and said: "Liu Bei has seen Mr. Shuijing, and today he is destined, and he is really fortunate to have three lives." ”

Sima Wei shook his hand and smiled: "In the next grass people, idle clouds and wild cranes, it is not worth Uncle Liu Huang's salute." Come on, please. Then he said to the boy, "Today, your distinguished guest is coming, and you can bring out my precious and good tea." ”

The boy replied and retreated.

Liu Bei sat down, obviously a little impatient, and said: "How did Mr. Shui Jing know that Bei Jinyu would be in trouble here?" ”
