Chapter 573: Jump Up
Gong Du really wanted to serve Liu Xin, not to mention Liu Xin's strength, he couldn't refuse Zhang Ning's order alone, Zhang Jiao was his master, and he regarded Zhang Ning as a young master from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, after Zhang Ning made his words clear, he returned to the front hall without the slightest hesitation and ordered someone to arrest Jian Yong.
For a whole day, Gong Du accompanied Zhang Ning and Pang De to inspect the barracks and take stock of household registration, grain and grass. Under Yuan Shu's rampant conquest, the life of the people of Runan was very difficult, but the scholars of Runan were still lustful. However, the storehouses full of gold and silver and mountains of grain in their homes have now become the pockets of the Yellow Turbans.
But seeing those Yellow Turban soldiers with sloppy military discipline, Pang De couldn't help frowning, and said to Zhang Ning: "Mrs. Qiyu, these soldiers are scattered, if Yuan Shuxing troops come to attack, it may be difficult to resist." Since the two generals, Gong and Liu, have agreed to return to Shun, it is better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and ask General Xu to send another man to take over this place. ”
Following Xu Huang in the army for many years, Zhang Ning saw the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him, and he was also frowning, where is this army, it is clearly a gang of bandits. Although Zhang Ning is just a woman, she is quite affectionate, if she doesn't know the combat effectiveness of these Yellow Turban soldiers, it is just that, since she knows that they are not Yuan Shu's opponents, how can she leave Gong Du and Liu Pi and escape alone?
Zhang Ning shook his head lightly and said, "The concubine often hears her husband say that General Pang has the courage of ten thousand people, and whether he can defend Runan City depends on General Pang." ”
Xu Huang was both the commander of the First Army and Liu Xin's sworn brother. Although these words came out of Zhang Ning's mouth, being able to get Xu Huang's praise still lifted Pang De's spirits, and he straightened his chest and said: "Please rest assured, Madame, the last general will give up this life, and he will also protect Madame and Runan City!" ”
Gong arched his hand disapprovingly and said, "Young Master, General Pang, please rest assured." Although the martial arts of Zai Xia and Senior Brother Liu are mediocre, and these soldiers also lack training, they can't stand the crowd, relying on the strong city and guarding it for ten days and half a month, it is definitely not a problem. It was already getting early, so I asked the two of them to go back to their homes, and tomorrow they would accompany them to the outside of the city to inspect the terrain. ”
On the treetops of the moon, the door of the study of the Runan Taishou Mansion "creaked" and was pushed open, Liu Pi blushed, burped, staggered out, and walked straight to the wing where Jian Yong was held. Today, when Gong Du accompanied Zhang Ning and Pang De to inspect around, Liu Bi kept hugging the two beauties to drink in the study.
After two cups of yellow soup, Liu Bi's lust and courage became strong again, and his hands kept wandering on the bodies of the two beauties in his arms, but what appeared in front of him was Zhang Ning's pretty face and slender figure. Thinking that he would soon join Liu Xin's command, the difference between his status and Zhang Ning would be 108,000 miles, and it would be impossible to think of any intersection. Liu Bi was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
As the wine grew stronger, Liu Bi somehow remembered that Jian Yong, who had been reduced to a prisoner, was here. At the beginning, Jian Yong promised to let him be the Taishou of Runan after the matter was completed, and promised to reward Yuan Shu's concubines to him. Hearing that Yuan Shu had hundreds of concubines, imagining that he had missed out on a thousand charming beauties, Liu Bi regretted it even more, and he came to Jian Yong's prison cell as soon as he gritted his teeth. When the Yellow Turban soldier who guarded the door saw Liu Bi, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly opened the prison door to let him in.
Jian Yong was tied to the big pillar in the middle of the room, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth. Through the moonlight outside the door, Jian Yong saw clearly that the person who came was Liu Bi, who was full of alcohol, and couldn't help struggling, babbling in his mouth, as if he had a lot to say to Liu Bi. Jian Yong is actually quite eloquent, but Gong Du was eager to behave in front of Zhang Ning, so he didn't let him say anything at all, so he locked him up, even if he had hundreds of more mouths, it would be useless. Now, suddenly seeing Liu Bi, he naturally wants to seize this opportunity.
His efforts didn't seem to be in vain, Liu Bi looked at him with drunken eyes for a while, and suddenly said with a big tongue: "Jane, Master Jane has it, do you have something to say?" ”
Jian Yong felt a burst of joy in his heart, and nodded again and again. For people like Liu Pi, he has absolute confidence, as long as he is allowed to speak, he is sure to move him.
Liu Pi tore off the rag stuffed in Jian Yong's mouth, and said slowly, "What does Master Jian want to tell General Ben?" ”
Jian Yong was suddenly liberated, completely ignoring his image, opened his mouth wide, greedily took a few breaths of fresh air, and then said: "Jian thought that the general was a righteous person, so he proposed to cooperate with the general, who expected that the general would tie Jian here, and the general would always give me an explanation." ”
Since the failure of Zhang Jiao's uprising, Liu Pi and Gong Du have fallen into the grass together, and in a few years, he has transformed from a Taiping Taoist into a complete thief. As a bandit, in addition to being cruel and cunning, you must also be righteous. No matter what he looks like in his bones, at least the word righteousness must always be on his lips.
Hearing Jian Yong questioning him for not being faithful, Liu Bi's face was a little unbearable, and the wine came up again, so he said without thinking: "Liu has always attached great importance to righteousness, and it is not Liu's original intention to embarrass Lord Jian, but the young master has a life, and Liu does not dare to disobey." If you are offended, you can also hope that Lord Jian Haihan. ”
Jian Yong knew very well in his heart, if Gong Du and Liu Bi just didn't want to cooperate with him and just drive him away, why should they detain him here, if they didn't want to get out, they would be more than lucky, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Haihan? General Liu really knows how to tell jokes. Even if Jian dies, he will die to understand, but I don't know who the young master is? ”
Liu Bi was broken by him, and couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment, and said: "Don't hide it, the young master of my family is the only daughter of the great sage and good teacher, and now she is the wife of Xu Huang, the general under Liu Xin, she came with the token of the great sage and good teacher, and ordered Liu and Senior Brother Gong to serve Liu Xin, how dare I not listen to you?" ”
Jian Yong finally understood that Gong Du and Liu Bi were both disciples of Zhang Jiao, no wonder they said last night that they had a little family and private matter, but it doesn't matter if you are engaged in family and private affairs, but you have trapped me, so how can it work? Jian Yong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea, nodded with a wry smile, and said: "This matter is indeed no wonder to the general, I don't know what benefits Liu Xin promised the general, can you tell Jian Mou?" ”
Liu Bi was suddenly stunned, Jian Yong's promise was still fresh in his memory, but Zhang Ning really didn't promise him anything, just the words "Ronghua and Fugui", but no one knew what the specific "Ronghua Fugui" was, and he really didn't know how to answer.
Jian Yong really smiled this time, he subconsciously reached out to stroke his beard, but found that he was still tied there, and he couldn't move at all, so he couldn't help but smack his lips at Liu Bi and said, "General Liu, Jian is just a scholar, so you don't need to be so cautious." ”
Liu Bi's hand just reached the end of the rope, but he retracted it again and said, "Master Jane, you bear with it first, and if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Jian Yong knew that Liu Bi was afraid that Gong would have an opinion, so he didn't care, and continued: "Jian said something that should not be said. Liu Xin has always used his talents, and his subordinates are full of talents, not that Jian Mou underestimates the two, I'm afraid ......"
Liu Pi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "According to Lord Jane's opinion, what should Liu do?" ”
Jian Yong saw that Liu Bi's train of thought had been led by himself, and he was in a big mood, and couldn't help but say: "I don't know if General Liu has thought about it, but Runan County was exchanged for your life with General Gong, how can you give it to others casually?" And the young master you are talking about is just a woman, General Liu is a good man, why should he listen to a woman? The great opportunity is in front of you, but you don't need to throw it away, even Jian is sorry for you! ”
Liu Bi's heart was shocked, and he asked in a deep voice, "What does Master Jian mean?" ”
Jian Yong sneered: "How many people in the Taiping Dao did Liu Xin kill back then, you don't know, right?" Since your young master is married to Xu Huang, even if he is not a person in the Taiping Dao, why should he come out with a token to make irresponsible remarks? If Jian's expectations were good, the young master shouldn't have brought many people over, as long as he caught her, was he afraid that Xu Huang would not bow his head? ”
When Liu Bi heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the wine suddenly woke up for most of the time, and arresting Zhang Ning as a hostage was something he didn't even dare to think about in the past. Liu Pi kept his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, unable to make up his mind.
Jian Yong continued to persuade: "General rest assured, when the time comes, my lord will hold high the banner of righteousness to crusade against Yuan Shu, will Liu Xin dare to go against the general trend of the world?" Xu Huang's woman is in our hands again, and he has no choice but to eat coptis dumbly, and he can't say anything about his suffering. ”
Control Zhang Ning in your hands! Liu Bi was provoked by Jian Yong, and suddenly a bold idea popped up, Zhang Ning's beauty was really itchy, and he caught her, so when the time came, wouldn't he do it himself? And in this way, the token of Taiping Dao will also fall into his hands, and he can even command the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the world.
Liu Pi was a little excited, stepped forward, untied the rope on Jian Yong's body, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you Master Jian for your advice, Liu will send someone to arrest Zhang Ning!" ”
Jian Yong then knew that the young master was originally called Zhang Ning, he waved his hand unhurriedly, and said, "General Liu, do it slowly!" I'm afraid General Gong won't agree easily, and he still needs to think about it thoroughly. You can come with your ears and ...... like this."
Gong Du had just sent Zhang Ning, Pang De and others to a large mansion in the city to settle down, when he saw two little minions running over, saying that Liu Pi had invited him to discuss important matters. Gong Du and Liu Bi have stayed in the mountains together for many years, and the relationship between them is still good, he didn't think much about it, turned around and returned to Taishou Mansion.
A table of wine and food has been set up in the hall in the Taishou Mansion, Liu Bi greeted him with a smile, and said: "Senior Brother Gong accompanied the young master to inspect everywhere, I'm afraid I'm tired at the end of the day, the younger brother prepared a little thin wine to eliminate the fatigue of the senior brother." Come on, jump up! ”
