Chapter 157: Zhang Ren returns to Shun
Liu Chan stared at Zhang Ren directly when he heard this, and sneered: "It's easy to die, but I don't want to fulfill you easily, you want to die in the name of your loyalty, I won't let you get your wish." You're upsetting me, so I'm going to let you die in agony. ”
"Zhang is not even afraid of death, why is he afraid of pain?" Zhang Ren also sneered.
Liu Chan shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, the pain I said and the pain you said didn't mean the same thing!" ”
Zhang Ren didn't have the slightest fear on his face, and poured himself another glass of wine unhurriedly, and after drinking all the wine in the cup, he asked, "Oh? I don't know how you want to torture me, I'd like to hear about it! ”
Liu Chan groaned: "The pain you are talking about is physical torture, and the pain I am talking about is mental torture. ”
Zhang Ren's face sank.
Liu Chan continued to talk eloquently: "Aren't you going to be loyal to Liu Zhang? You want to be named righteous after you die, don't you?
Well, if you refuse to surrender to your father and serve your father, I will kill Liu Zhang first, and then Liu Zhang will die because of you, and I will see how you will be loyal and observant. ”
"You dare!" Zhang Ren suddenly stood up, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Liu Chan and snorted coldly.
"Zhang Ren, what do you want to do?" Seeing this, Chen Zhi rushed over, pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Zhang Ren and shouted.
"Stand down!" Liu Chan waved his hand.
Chen Zhi was embarrassed: "Zhang let him ......"
"He won't hurt me!" Liu Chan shook his head, looked at Zhang Ren again and said, "Did you say it?" ”
"Humph!" Zhang Ren snorted coldly and sat down again.
Seeing this, Chen took the saber and withdrew a few steps.
Liu Chan continued: "Not only that, but I will also let people hype up the news that you have done all kinds of evil, so that everyone in the world will know that you Zhang Ren is a despicable villain. I want to make the world feel that your refusal to surrender to my father is not because you have to be loyal to Liu Zhang, but because of bad conduct, my father looks down on me. ”
Zhang Ren sneered: "Who am I, Zhang Ren, how can I think of people in unexpected ways?" I, Zhang Ren, only ask for a conscience and have no regrets, and besides, I don't believe that they will not distinguish between black and white. ”
Liu Chan grinned and said, "You only ask for a conscience without regrets?" But what about your family? When I first entered your house, I thought you had heard that you had a son and a daughter, right? After you die, they will be spurned by the people of the world, and they will not even be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. ”
"Daddy, teach me archery!" At this moment, two clear voices suddenly came from the arch of the courtyard.
Liu Chan turned his head to look and saw that a boy about seven or eight years old was running over with a girl of five or six years old.
The corners of Liu Chan's mouth hooked, and he beckoned to the two people at the door: "Come, come here!" ”
Looking at Liu Chan's conjured face, Zhang Ren's face changed, and he shouted at his pair of children: "Don't come here, Daddy has something to do now, go out and play by yourself!" ”
The two originally enthusiastic children were scolded by Zhang Ren, the boy was fine, and the girl was suddenly frightened and cried.
Seeing this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and said softly: "Zhong'er, take my sister out, Daddy will play with you again later!" ”
The brother and sister left, but the girl's cry was still faintly heard.
Looking at Zhang Ren's unbearable appearance, Liu Chan smiled faintly and said: "What is General Zhang doing, it's not a flood beast down there!" ”
Zhang Ren clenched his fists and looked at Liu Chan coldly: "You are more terrible than the flood beast!" ”
Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Okay, Hugh said that these are useless, are you willing to serve my father?" ”
Zhang Ren's face was painful and embarrassed: "Your father has Jing, Yi Erzhou, and thousands of talented people under his command, why do you want to stare at Zhang and refuse to let go." ”
Liu Chan looked at Zhang Ren and said: "Although there are thousands of talented people under my father's command, ninety percent of them are not as good as the general!" The general has the talent of a soldier, and the generals under my father's command can only be compared with the general, but there are only no more than three people.
I really don't want the general's ability to be buried, if there is chaos today, my father has great ambitions, and it is a great opportunity for the general to display his talent and make contributions.
Liu Zhang is incompetent, mediocre, in Yizhou, the scholars control the quota of local officials, he ignores government affairs, and only knows pleasure, up and down, the same is true for local officials, luxury has become a trend, and it is not uncommon to oppress the people. The people in Yizhou are also living in dire straits.
The general is loyal to Liu Zhang, and he can get the name of loyalty and righteousness, but now that Liu Zhang has fallen, he spends all day drinking and drinking in Jiangling, will he be grateful for the general's loyalty?
But what about the people of Yizhou? The general is aiding and abetting! Will the people of Yizhou be grateful for the general's loyalty? I'm afraid it's spurning, right?
So who is the general doing this for? ”
Zhang Ren muttered to himself: "I just want to have a clear conscience!" ”
Liu Chan smiled faintly and said, "I don't believe that the general's original intention is to die for Liu Zhang." The general is loyal to Liu Zhang, and disloyal to the people, this is foolish loyalty, and the real loyalty is not loyal to one person, but to the world! Only by being loyal to the world can we truly have no regrets! ”
Zhang Ren's eyes were full of confusion, and he muttered: "Only by being loyal to the world can you have no regrets?" ”
Liu Chan got up slowly, picked up the treasure carving bow that Zhang Ren had broken earlier from the ground, swept away the wine jug on the table, put the broken bow on the table, and said: "Drinking can only numb yourself, and you can use wine to eliminate your sorrows, and the battlefield is the real stage for the general." It doesn't matter if the bow is broken, as long as the general wants to, I'll send someone to bring a better one later. ”
Zhang Ren remained silent.
Liu Chan sighed, bowed his hand and said: "The words I said before that I wanted to kill Liu Zhang were just jokes, now I sincerely apologize to the general, the general doesn't have to take it to heart, but if the general doesn't agree, I won't come in the future, this is the general's last chance, please cherish it!" ”
"Chen arrives, let's go!" Liu Chan bowed again and called Chen Zhi to prepare to leave.
Hearing this, Chen Zhi hurriedly ran over and prepared to leave with Liu Chan.
After just a few steps, Zhang Ren, who was sitting on the ground, stood up suddenly, grabbed the broken bow on the table, and grabbed the broken bow handle in his palm with his left hand, so that the longbow remained in its original state.
In his right hand, he picked up an arrow in the quiver, bent his bow and shot at the target, and the arrow came out in response to the sound and went straight to the target, but after all, the bow was broken, and the strength was insufficient, and he only flew dozens of steps before stopping.
Zhang Ren snorted coldly, threw his hand off the bow to the ground, and said in the direction of Liu Chan: "When will you give me a new one!" ”
