Chapter 57: The Assassins
Chapter 57: The Assassins
Being a taishou in Nanyang and being a lieutenant here are two completely different moods. For Zhang Zhi, in Nanyang, he is controlled by others everywhere and cannot be satisfied. But under Liu Pet's command, it is different, everyone must listen to Liu Pet's words, Liu Pet let Zhang Zhi be the captain of the Tun Agricultural School, then, no one will dare to embarrass Zhang Tuo.
After Zhang Zhi came back from Nanyang, he was not only thrilling, but also secretly sighed that he had picked up a life. As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yuan Shu on the back foot did not hesitate to announce that he would lead Nanyang Taishou, which shows Yuan Shu's attitude, Zhang Zhi believes that if he takes a step slowly, he is afraid that he will really not be able to come back, for this, Zhang Zhi is very grateful to Liu Chong.
And after coming back, Zhang Zhi held a meeting with the old ghosts of several families, and everyone felt that the world may not be the same as before, and in the future, it is estimated that it will be a situation of going their own way. In troubled times, it is necessary to take refuge in the strong.
This is the reason why Zhang Zhi once again generously contributed materials.
On this day, Zhang Zhi rushed early and late, and finally came to Kunyang before dark. Kunyang is close to Ye County in Nanyang, Jingzhou, and the reason why Zhang Shi came here is because there is a Zhang family in Ye County, and he is going to return to the family today. When Zhang Zhi heard this, of course he was overjoyed, this was a good opportunity to strengthen the family. Zhang Zhi has no doubts about this matter, one is that after Zhang Zhi became an official, there have been several collateral departments to return one after another, and there are cases in the past. Second, the Zhang family in Ye County, Zhang Zhi has heard of it, and it is determined that it is a side line of the Zhang family.
In the shop in Kunyang, Zhang Shi met Zhang An, the current head of the Zhang family in Ye County, a fat man. Zhang Shi looked at it and smiled, this is just a person like Gao Pan, but so what, as long as he really returns to the family, the interests of the family are always above all else.
The two talked very happily, and even Zhang Zhi spoke, as long as there was an opportunity, he proposed to Liu Chong to let Zhang An be the county commander. Zhang An's fat eyes narrowed, and he couldn't see it.
Sending Zhang An out, Zhang Shi smiled and pointed to Zhang An's servant and said: "You are a very good servant, you know at a glance that you are a person who practices martial arts, and you are bright, good, good." β
Zhang An looked back, and then flattered: "Patriarch, you see what you said, we will be a family in the future, so let's do it, since the patriarch likes it, and the patriarch has a lot of things to do recently, he has to manage the family and act as an errand for King Chen." How can you not have a little more help by your side, Duan Qing, you will follow the patriarch in the future. β
Zhang Zhi saw the person named Duan Qing, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, Zhang Zhi was very happy, indicating that this person was not a ruthless person.
In the end, Zhang Shi still took Duan Qing away, and Zhang An was also looking forward to a better future and left satisfied.
Liu Pet didn't expect that he would stay in Xiangcheng for so long. He was originally leaving, and Li Min had no way to do Zhang Zhi's affairs. However, Hu Zhen's cavalry completely disrupted Liu Chong's plan.
A detachment of more than 300 cavalry marched along Rushui and almost circled around the borders of Nanyang, Sili, and Yingchuan. made people panic, and under Xiangcheng, Li Min was so frightened by 300 people that he didn't dare to go out of the city.
The next day, Li Min actually united a group of squires, came over with a luxury gift, and asked Liu Pet to stay for a few more days.
In this way, Liu Pet stayed for several days with half push and half push.
Liu Pet stood on a high place, looking at the barracks, and behind him stood Dian Wei and Xun You.
Xun You: "Lord, it's definitely not a good thing for Li Min to keep us, although I can't think of what it is, but, Lord, I think Li Min is delaying us." β
Liu Chong's eyes narrowed: "You say, if at this time, Yuan Shu sends someone to urge us to ask for grain and grass, will we give it or not?" β
Xun You frowned, and then: "Does the lord think that Li Min wants to use Yuan Shu to suppress us?" β
Liu Pet smiled: "Hehe, I'm just thinking about it, it's not because like you, I can't figure out Li Min's purpose." Hmph, but it doesn't matter, even if Yuan Shu sends someone again, I will collect food in Yingchuan, Li Min, and see who is crying. β
Liu Pet smiled sinisterly, and then sighed again: "Hey, it's the people who are crying." Liu Pet turned around, leaving Xun You with an inexplicable face, Lord, you are so changeable.
There are more and more people staying in the private camp, and now there are more than 800 people, and it seems that within a month, there should be 3,000 people before the spring ploughing, as long as they are in the spring ploughing, after a year, there will be no problem in supporting themselves.
Liu Pet returned to the military tent, Dian Wei was guarding outside, and he heard a big man shouting: "Dian Guard, King Chen is back, hahaha, come, Dian Guard, accompany me to drink, I got a vat of good wine today, hahaha." β
When Dian Wei saw the visitor, he also smiled: "You farmer, why don't you go to plow the fields, how do you know to ask me for a drink." No, including the lord, I want to protect it. β
The man was stunned for a moment, and then: "I asked you to drink, I didn't want you to introduce me to King Chen, so that I could also be a guard or something, that is called prestige." Oh, here, who doesn't respect King Chen, how can King Chen be in danger here, come and come, drink and go, it's in your tent, and it's not far from King Chen, it's all right. β
Dian Wei saw that his military tent was on the left side of Liu Chong's military tent, and at this time, there was no honor in ten thousand, Dian Wei was the person closest to Liu Chong.
"Just drink a little bit, too much." Dian Wei turned back to the two guards: "Today is your class?" Something called me. So he went into the tent with the man, and went to drink.
At the same time, Zhang Zhi was holding a large ball of bamboo slips, all of which were intended to give Liu a purpose. crackled, scattered all over the ground, and Zhang Zhi died of depression. At this time, a figure walked over: "Patriarch, let me help you, why don't you find someone to help." β
Zhang Shi looked back: "Oh, Duan Qing, come on, just right, hold them, follow me to see the lord." β
Duan Qing raised his eyebrows, and Zhang Zhi grinned: "What?" Haven't seen King Chen, have you? β
Duan Qing recovered instantly, and grinned: "Yes, yes, patriarch, I'm a little excited." Zhang Shihahaha laughed, and said as he walked: "Actually, King Chen is very easy, you don't know ----"
Duan Qing lowered his head behind him, and no one could see his face and expression clearly.
"Lord, Zhang Tunnong asks to see you." Liu Pet was squinting, and a guard reported. Liu Pet raised his head: "Oh, let him in." I heard the conversation of Zhang Shi and Konoe outside.
"The lord let you in, Lord Zhang Tunnong."
"Oh, fortunately, this is my assistant, these are bamboo slips for the lord to see, you check them."
Liu Pet smiled and looked outside: "No need, come in." "What are you checking, you still don't believe Zhang Zhi?
Liu Chong saw Zhang Shi come in, and laughed: "Ziyi, you've been busy with you these days, come, let the bamboo slips go." Liu Pet glanced at the young man, but saw that he was sweating profusely.
Zhang Shi looked at it and said with a smile: "Hehe, lord, this is my new assistant, named Duan Qing, who is very diligent and has practiced martial arts for a few days." I heard that I was a little nervous when I met my lord for the first time. Duan Qing, don't be nervous, come and stand here. β
Liu Pet smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't eat people, hehe." Come, Ziyi, tell me about the latest developments. β
Liu Chong rushed outside the door: "Come on, serve tea to Captain Zhang." "I saw a guard come in, and the guard also glanced at Duan Qing when he came in. Liu Pet smiled, and then: "What about Dianjun?" β
Guard: "My lord, the guard is in the military tent, I'll go and call him." β
Liu Pet raised his hand: "Forget it, this barbarian, he must have been drinking again, let him go." β
The guards were very surprised, their hearts were full of doubts, the lord would never call the pawn guard barbarian, never, the lord was like a brother to the guard, and the honorific title of the lord was unmatched in the army, what happened to the lord today?
Shaking his head, the guards went out, and when he left, he turned around and secretly glanced at Duan Qing. After heading out, the guard approached the other and said softly, "Be careful, something is wrong." β
Liu Chong and Zhang Zhi talked for more than half an hour, hehe, the weather in January was cool, but Duan Qing was sweating profusely. Liu Chong's smile became stronger and stronger, which moved Zhang Zhi, and it was best for his achievements to be recognized by the lord.
Duan Qing took two steps forward, very lightly and slowly. Liu Pet glanced at it, but he didn't see it.
Liu Pet smiled: "Ziyi, great, I am so lucky to have you." At the same time, he looked at Zhang Zhi with straight eyes, but saw Zhang Shi's excitement. Liu Pet nodded and said, "Ziyi, you help me bring the box over there, it's over there." Liu Chong suddenly pointed to the other end of the military tent and said to Zhang Zhi, who stood up without thinking about it and passed.
At this moment, Liu Pet suddenly shouted, and the sitting body turned up with both hands, and the entire wooden case was spun up by Liu Pet's huge explosive force, and the momentum of breaking the air flew towards Duan Qing, who took the opportunity to take two steps forward.
Duan Qing's eyes opened, and the time changed, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and he also roared, his hands were like eagle claws, and he grabbed the case on the other side, a bamboo slip, one of the ones he had just held.
At the same time that Liu Pet overturned the wooden case, his feet and eyes kicked hard, and the huge body jumped up like a giant bear jumping effortlessly. Without thinking about it, he kicked Duan Qing with his left leg.
Duan Qing grabbed the bamboo slip, his face smiled, his fingers pinched, and with a popping sound, the bamboo slip shattered, and in the middle was a shiny dagger, and the dark red surface knew that it contained poison at a glance.
Duan Qing turned around, and his smile disappeared suddenly, so fast, King Chen came so fast. What happened just now was in an instant, and at this time, King Chen's feet had already reached his faΓ§ade.
"Poof---" Duan Qing didn't dodge over, and hit Liu Pet heavily, only feeling that the sky was full of stars, the military tent was transferred, and it was muddy. Duan Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, but the dagger in his hand was held tightly and was not kicked away.
Liu Pet crooked his mouth and smiled: "It's quite patient, it's a little interesting." β
At this time, Zhang Shi looked back in horror and shouted: "Lord, Duan Qing, this? β
Liu Chong shook his head: "Ziyi, I believe you, you have been deceived, he is an assassin." β
How could Liu Chong and Duan Qing's actions not alarm the guards outside, and after a while, they roared: "Who dares to move the lord." The other shouted outside, "Come, Assassin, protect your lord." β
Then, Liu Pet heard Dian Wei's roar: "Pifu, I was kind enough to drink with you, but I dared to poke me with a knife and die." β
Liu Chong frowned, listening to Dian Wei's voice, he should be fine. Then he glanced at Duan Qing and said, "Good means, good preparation, Li Min or Sun Jian, or Yuan Shu?" β
Zhang Shi was already sitting on the ground, and then, in an instant, he was hideous again, looking at Duan Qing, eager to eat him. At this moment, there was a commotion outside, not just the sound of the guards rushing in, but something else.
"The homeless people are making trouble, killing people, and the homeless people are in chaos."
The two guards rushed in instantly, and when they saw it, they held their knives and slashed at Duan Qing without hesitation.
Liu Pet: "Keep alive." β
Duan Qing was kicked by Liu Pet, and the two guards were not vegetarians, so they were subdued in an instant. Another figure came in, but it was Dian Wei, and he yelled without seeing the person clearly: "Who, who, who is dead, rest my lord." β
Liu Zhong was startled, only to see a hole in Dian Wei's arm, blood gushing out, and a face of blood splashed on his face, this should be someone else's.
Then Dian Wei looked at Zhang Shi on the ground, and was immediately furious: "Thief, eat my halberd." β
Liu Chong was shocked and hurried: "Dian Jun stop, Ziyi is innocent, you are okay." β
In a word, Zhang Shi and Dian Wei were both moved, one was trusted, and the other was cared for.
Zhang Zhi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Lord, lord, I am guilty." At this time, as soon as there was a movement outside, no matter how stupid Zhang Shi was, he understood what the situation was, Zhang An, who went to Nima, Lao Tzu turned around and skinned you.
Liu Pet glanced at it, Duan Qing's eyes were stopped, Liu Pet hurriedly strode out of the military tent, and saw a group of people rushing to this side in a panic, he should have known that he was in danger and wanted to come to the rescue.
As soon as Liu Pet appeared, everyone felt a lot more at ease. Liu Pet: "Order, in the barracks, those who are in chaos will be beheaded." ordered Li Dian to go to the camp as soon as possible, remember, it was just a small number of people's misdeeds, and no one else should be implicated. β
Then he turned around: "Ziyi, I believe in you, now is not the time to say so much, you quickly go to the camp camp, cooperate with Li Dian to calm down quickly, there are stubborn people, kill." β
Zhang Shi stood up in a panic: "Yes." Then he glanced back at Duan Qing resentfully, and his heart was moved, at this time, the lord trusted me.
Xun You also rushed over, and the head of the criticism was to rush to Dian Wei to say: "Dian Guard, do you dare to drink in the future?" Xun You's face was full of anger, the scholar's anger made the husband embarrassed, Dian Wei heard this, remembered what happened just now, and felt so guilty that his nails were pinched into the flesh.
Liu Pet smiled, it's okay, let Dian Wei remember this, it's not that Liu Pet is afraid of death, but Liu Pet vaguely remembers that Dian Wei seems to have died like this.
"Okay, okay, the gentleman protects me, there must be everything, don't say it."
As soon as Liu Chong spoke, Dian Wei knelt down even more and cried, can you imagine, a giant, an ugly ghost, what is the expression when he cries, one word, even uglier.
Liu Pet laughed: "Dian Jun get up, it's ugly." Then he laughed.
Turning his head to look at Duan Qing, whose face was bloodless: "You haven't answered me yet, who is it?" β
"Hmph, Xiangguo wants you to die, traitor."
Xun You also hurriedly came over to stop Liu Pet, and said loudly: "Hmph, Dong Thief's small means, how can you cut off my loyalty to the Han Dynasty, use your head today to tell Dong Thief that my lord is determined." β
Liu Chong was stunned, how could this be Dong Zhuo. Then looked at Xun You, and suddenly, oh, yes, yes, it must be Dong Zhuo, it must be.
Liu Pet secretly hated in his heart, Li Min, you are dead.
