Half an hour later, Chen Gong laid out the plan in its entirety.

After hearing this, Zhang Lu was a little moved, but at the same time he was quite hesitant, after all, killing Zhang Xiu was to completely break with Liu Yan. In Zhang Lu's heart, he was more or less afraid of that Liu Huangqin.

Chen Gong saw that Zhang Lu was hesitant and not forced, so he smiled and said: "The so-called ancient wisdom: those who achieve great things are not informal, you are good at pondering and pondering, and you will say goodbye." ”

Seeing that Chen Gong was leaving, Zhang Lu got up and walked out of the tent with him, and said, "I'll send Mr." ”

Chen Gong waved his hand, "No need, before leaving, I will advise the general again, this matter should be sooner rather than later." If it's too late, everything may come to naught. ”

Zhang Lu didn't respond to this, but just hugged his fists and said, 'Mr. go slowly', and watched Chen Gong go away.

Back in Nanzheng, it was already the fifth watch, and in one hour, the sky would be bright.

In the county guard's mansion, except for the soldiers who watched the night, everyone else had already slept. When Chen Gong was about to return to the room, he passed by the lobby and saw that Lu Bu was still sitting in the hall, waiting for him with his eyes closed, and an incomparably moved feeling in his heart for a moment.

"Gongtai, you're back." Lu Bu opened his eyes, how could Chen Gong's footsteps hide from his ears.

"Disturb the general's dreams, and the palace is also wrong!" Chen Gong didn't want to disturb Lu Bu, and he was deeply sorry for this.

"How about going here?" Lu Bu poured a glass of water for Chen Gong and handed it over.

Chen Gong was a little flattered to take it, and the whole person was confident, and said slowly: "Live up to the general's expectations, just wait for a while, Zhang Lu will definitely make a move." ”

In the process of talking with Zhang Lu, Chen Gong almost figured out Zhang Lu's character. This man was suspicious and cautious, but the fact that he was able to listen to the plan and send himself out of the camp respectfully showed that he had already put his mind on it, but he did not say it explicitly.

A few days later, Zhao Song, who had been in a coma for several days, woke up.

He opened his eyes, his eyelids were so low that his vision was a little blurry, and he muttered in a low voice, "This is the Yama Palace?" ”

He only remembered that he broke into the camp alone that day and was knocked away by Zhao Song's punch, and he couldn't remember what happened next.

According to his reasoning, he must have died.

Crunch~

The door opened, and a tall, handsome young man entered.

Zhao Song struggled to see this person's face clearly, and after searching in his mind, he didn't know this person, so he asked out loud: "You saved me?" ”

Lu Bu nodded.

The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives.

Zhao Song wanted to get up and thank him, but as soon as he moved, there was a sharp pain all over his body at the same time, and the pain made him grit his teeth and grasp the sheets.

Lu Bu pressed his hand down, and his words were gentle: "You better lie down and don't move." If it weren't for timely treatment, you would be a lonely soul on the Huangquan Road at this moment. ”

"Dare to ask the surname of the righteous man?"

"Lu Bu."

Wen Hou!

Hearing this name, Zhao Song was shocked. He and Lu Bu have never met, their identities are one in the sky and one in the ground, and they can't fight the relationship between the eight poles, why would Lu Bu save himself.

Zhao Song couldn't figure it out.

Lu Bu found a place to sit down and asked him: "Why did you kill Zhang Xiu?" Even at the cost of his life. ”

Zhao Song was silent for a moment and told his story.

The content of the story is more old-fashioned, probably that when he was in trouble, Su Gu was kind to him, so that he could live, and entrusted him with the position of master and bo, as a confidant.

Zhao Song is a person of the utmost affection, treat me as a countryman, and I will repay him with death.

So after learning that Su Gu died at the hands of Zhang Xiu, he said goodbye to his wife and daughter, changed into the white clothes of Xiaoling, knowing that there was no return, but he was resolute and did not regret it at all.

After listening patiently, Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Your name is Zhao Song?" ”

Zhao Song nodded.

"Coincidentally, when I came to Hanzhong to cross Yumuling, I met your brother Zhao Ju. He recommended you to me, saying that you are unparalleled in martial arts. ”

Lu Bu laughed, because Yumuling was the first checkpoint to enter Hanzhong, so he remembered it more clearly.

No wonder Wen Hou came to save me, it turned out that my brother had recommended me in front of him.

Zhao Song suddenly understood, and at the same time said modestly: "It's just fur kung fu, and it can't be compared to Wen Hou's good fight." ”

"Why, do you have the heart to serve under me?" Lu Bu had already thought of subduing him, and he didn't go around in circles and get straight to the point.

Zhao Song's martial arts are not bad, and he is enough to rank in the top five under his command.

"Thank you Wen Hou for your kindness, but the villain still has a wish to be fulfilled, so I can't obey my fate." Zhao Song obviously had a hint of emotion on his face, but he still politely rejected Lu Bu's proposal.

Lu Bu could see his thoughts, and said casually: "Kill Zhang Xiu?" ”

Zhao Song didn't hide it from Lu Bu and nodded. Su Gu has a great kindness to him, if he doesn't kill Zhang Xiu, even if he goes to Huangquan in the future, he will have no shame to face Su Gu.

Lu Bu no longer insisted on it, and said, 'Take care of your injuries'.

Then he got up and left the house.

In mid-April, a dark and windy night.

Zhang Lu invited Zhang Xiu to drink in the account, took the opportunity to attack and kill Zhang Xiu during the banquet, and used thunder to control the soldiers under his command and use it for his own use.

The next day, in order to show his sincerity, Zhang Lu personally took Zhang Xiu's head and entered the city to see Lu Bu and expressed his willingness to submit.

Lu Bu asked the head to be sent to Zhao Song for him to dispose of.

In the hall of the county government, Lu Bu sat high, looked at Zhang Lu, who was trembling in the hall, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu disobeyed this general, and he died innocently. General Zhang's ability to kill this thief is really a great achievement, let's say, what kind of reward do you want. ”

Zhang Lu's eyes flashed with joy, but the surface was as normal as usual, according to what Chen Gong taught him that day, he hugged his fists and said: "I don't dare to ask for merit and reward for my humble position, I only want to stay under Wen Hou's tent to serve my life, and the rest of my wishes are enough." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Liu Yan will trouble you or coerce your family?" Lu Bu took a sip of cold water and asked with a smile.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and I am willing to serve the country loyally!" Zhang Lu said resolutely, as if he was full of righteousness, but he had his own little abacus in his heart.

With the two big backers of Lu Bu and the imperial court, he is not afraid of Liu Yan, who lives in Sichuan and Shu. As for his family, he had already sent people to his former residence and secretly brought his family to Hanzhong.

When Liu Yan knew the news of his rebellion, it was estimated that the daylily would be cold.

"General Zhang, get up."

Lu Bu let Zhang Lu, who was kneeling, get up, and said in a calm tone: "Since you are willing to serve this general, I can't treat you badly." From today on, you will be the county guard of Hanzhong, and when I return to Chang'an, I will officially play the table to the imperial court. ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to yell out immediately.

"Xie Wenhou's grace!"

He stood up and loudly expressed his loyalty: "In this life, only Wen Hou Ma is the first!" ”

The words were about Lu Bu, not the imperial court.
