The Danyang soldiers guarding the door saw Zhang Yan rushing over with a vicious face, still wearing the clothes of a jailer, and immediately stood up and pointed at Zhang Yan: "Hey! What for? ”

Zhang Yan didn't say a word, his eyes showed a cold gaze, he reached out and grabbed the finger of the Danyang soldier, and broke it hard, but when he heard a crisp sound, the finger of the Danyang soldier was broken by him.

"Ahh

Danyang Bing immediately let out a howl like killing pigs, which made him heartbreaking.

Seeing this, the rest of the Danyang soldiers immediately rushed up, trying to subdue Zhang Yan.

But Zhang Yan was like a poisonous snake, shuttling back and forth between everyone, and instead of touching him, the nine Danyang soldiers were punched and kicked by Zhang Yan, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and they fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

It was noisy outside, and Cao Bao in the house walked impatiently to the door, and was immediately taken aback when he saw his subordinates fall to the ground.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Cao Bao, and gave Cao Bao a punch head-on, directly breaking Cao Bao's nose bone, and blood gushing out from his nasal cavity.

Cao Bao stumbled to the ground, and before he could react, a big foot stepped directly on his chest, and he looked along the big foot, only then did he see that it was Zhang Yan.

There were still two Danyang soldiers in the house, and when they saw Zhang Yan appear, they were a little jealous, leaning against the wall, not daring to act rashly.

Something happened here, and the Danyang soldiers from all over the rest rushed over and surrounded the house, and at the same time, they all saw Cao Bao being trampled under Zhang Yan's feet.

Zhang Yan saw that there were many Danyang soldiers, so he dragged Cao Bao up from the ground, took out the long knife tied to Cao Bao's waist, and put it directly on Cao Bao's neck, his sharp eyes swept over every Danyang soldier, and roared: "Whoever dares to come, I will kill him first!" ”

The Danyang soldiers had scruples and did not dare to act rashly, but they guarded the exit to death.

Mi Zhu, who had been tied to the stake, was very relieved to see Zhang Yan appear: "Lord Zhang, why are you here?" ”

"Steward Mi went to look for me, and as soon as I heard that you had been arrested, I rushed here. Mi-sama, how did you get caught? ”

Mi Zhu sighed lightly and said, "I don't know, I was drunk last night, and I didn't wake up until just now, who knew that as soon as I opened my eyes, I met Cao Bao and brought someone to arrest me, saying that I was Cao Jun's spy......"

Zhang Yan held a sharp blade in his hand, moved the blade to Cao Bao's skin again, and asked, "You want to catch Lord Mi?" ”

Cao Bao was frightened, and hurriedly said: "I am also acting on orders, and all this is none of my business......"

"On orders? On whose orders? ”

Cao Bao said with a wry smile: "In the whole of Xuzhou, except for Tao Yuanjun, who can command me?" ”

"You mean, this is an order from the Tao Envoy?" Mi Zhu said in surprise.

Cao Bao nodded and said, "Otherwise, how dare I act rashly?" ”

"But Tao Envoy Weishenme wants to arrest me?" Mi Zhu hurriedly asked.

"This ...... I don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told. At that time, I was drinking outside, and suddenly I received an order, so I ordered my troops and horses to go to Mifu......"

Zhang Yan grabbed Cao Bao tightly, and Danyang Bing said: "Loosen the tie for Lord Mi!" ”

The Danyang soldiers let go of Mi Zhu, and Zhang Yan said to Mi Zhu again: "Lord Mi, let's go to the State Pastoral Mansion to ask what is going on!" ”

Mi Zhu is also an abnormal atmosphere, in the past few years, he has used his property to help Tao Qian a lot, but in the end, he ended up like this, which is really infuriating.

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Yan held Cao Bao hostage and yelled at the Danyang soldiers guarding the door.

The Danyang soldiers slowly retreated, for fear that Zhang Yan would hurt Cao Bao, so they slowly gave way to it.

Zhang Yan hijacked Cao Bao and walked in front, letting Mi Zhu follow him, facing more than 100 Danyang soldiers who were eyeing him, and his momentum was not weak at all.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the cell, followed by a very loud voice: "Get out of the way!" ”

A moment later, Zang Ba led Xu Sheng and more than 100 cavalrymen to break in directly through the door of the cell, and when he saw the Danyang soldiers surrounding Zhang Yan and Mi Zhu in Kanxin, he immediately shouted: "Good brother, I came one step too late, didn't let you be frightened, right?" ”

Zhang Yan saw that Zang Ba was majestic, and as soon as he appeared, the Danyang soldiers looked at each other one after another, as if they were afraid. He smiled at Zang Ba and said, "Brother Zang came in time!" ”

"Get out of the way of the fuck, whoever dares to block Lao Tzu's way, Lao Tzu will let his blood splash on the spot!" Zang Ba yelled at the Danyang soldiers in front of him.

Zang Ba has a heavy army, even Tao Qian respects him for three points, these Danyang soldiers have been following Tao Qian for a long time, how can they not know Zang Ba's prestige?

With Zang Ba's loud roar, the Danyang soldiers got out of the way, and Zang Ba galloped forward quickly with the cavalry, forcibly dividing the Danyang soldiers into two groups.

He rode a war horse to Zhang Yan, glared at Cao Bao who was held hostage by Zhang Yan, waved his horse whip, and directly hit Cao Bao's head, and asked: "Lord Mi is kind and charitable, and he is a model of Xuzhou, even Tao Envoy Jun also respects three points, you dare to lead troops to arrest him?" Tired of living, right? ”

Cao Bao's aura just now has long been gone, and in the face of Zang Ba, who is dominant, he is even more inferior, the muscles on his face are a little shaky, and he said with a smile: "Even if General Zang lends me ten guts, I don't dare to act rashly, all of this is an order from Tao Envoy Jun, I just act as an order!" ”

"Oh?" After Zang Ba heard this, he was suddenly surprised, "Why did Tao Envoy Jun give such an order?" ”

"I don't know ...... this," Cao Bao replied.

Zhang Yan interjected: "Brother Zang, it seems that I still have to go to the State Pastoral Mansion, and ask clearly in person!" ”

"Hmm." Zang Ba turned his face and said to the two cavalrymen behind him: "You two dismount and give the war horse to Zhang and Mi to ride!" ”

"Whoa!"

The two cavalrymen quickly dismounted, supporting Zhang Yan and Mi Zhu on their horses, Zhang Yan saw that Zang Ba had stabilized the situation, so he let go of Cao Bao, turned over and jumped on horseback.

Xu Sheng rode his horse to his side and whispered, "Master, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Zang Ba said to Cao Bao: "Lord Cao, I'm really sorry, there are no extra horses, please walk with the Danyang soldiers, and we'll see you in the state pastor in a while." Also, release the people of Mifu as soon as possible, otherwise, hehe...... I think you should know my means! ”

"General Zang, don't worry, I will do it, I will do it......" Cao Bao said with a cold face.

"Xu Sheng, you stay and be responsible for bringing all the people in Mi Mansion back!"

Xu Sheng said: "Huh! ”

"Turn the horse's head around and go to the governor's mansion!"

With Zang Ba's order, the cavalry withdrew from the cell one after another, and Zang Ba, Zhang Yan, and Mi Zhu also followed, got out of the cell, and went to the state pastor together.

Zhang Yan galloped forward and said to Zang Ba beside him: "Brother Zang, what happened just now is you!" ”

"Why bother with a little effort? If you still treat me as a brother, don't say half a word of thanks to me in the future. ”

"Okay, then if Brother Zang needs help in the future, just ask."

Mi Zhu was surprised to see Zhang Yan and Zang Ba mingle.

Zang Ba holds a heavy army in his hand, this heavy army is the Taishan thieves who Zang Ba surrendered back then, after the reorganization into the Han army, although there are many rules, but the bandit is difficult to change, only Zang Ba can suppress them, and they only obey the orders of Zang Ba alone.

In order to stabilize Xuzhou, Tao Qian had to use Zang Ba's prestige to station him in Kaiyang and be responsible for garrisoning Langya State. It can also be said that Zang Ba seems to have become a hegemon, and even Tao Qian is afraid of him.

Mi Zhu saw that Zhang Yan and Zang Ba were talking and laughing, and they were called brothers, in addition to being surprised, he also seemed to feel a kind of relief.

Today's Xuzhou seems to be calm, but in fact it is a pool of mixed water.

Below Tao Qian, Zang Ba and Zhen Rong are all dominant figures, who obey Tao Qian's orders on the surface, but in fact they have their own small kingdoms. But for a long time, Tao Qian did not want to break this deformed situation in the past, but turned a blind eye and made this situation worse.

Zhang Yan's appearance gave Mi Zhu hope, so he unconditionally funded Zhang Yan with 5,000 gold. Its purpose is to make Zhang Yan develop and grow and become a faction of his own.

Now, the spark has been ignited, Mi Zhu can only wait patiently, waiting for the day when the prairie can be fired!

The group soon came to the State Pastoral Mansion, and as soon as the people guarding the State Pastoral Mansion saw Zang Ba leading the troops coming, they were immediately very nervous, and hurriedly went in to inform Tao Qian.

At this moment, Tao Qian was in the hall to meet Wang Lang and Zhao Yu, who had gone and returned, when he suddenly heard that Zang Ba was coming with troops, he was startled, and hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers did he bring?" ”

"About more than 100 rides, in addition, Zhang Yan, the prime minister of Pengcheng, and Mi Zhu are also among them."

Tao Qian asked nervously, "Wasn't Mi Zhu arrested by Cao Bao?" Why did he come too? ”

"My subordinates don't know."

Wang Lang hurriedly interjected: "Tao Yuanjun, I think Zang Ba and Zhang Yan should all come for Mi Zhu's affairs. Since Mi Zhu was arrested for a reason, why don't you take this opportunity to clarify the matter? ”

Tao Qian frowned, and said after a long time, "Let them come in." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, Zang Ba, Zhang Yan, and Mi Zhu stepped into the hall together, and Tao Qian noticed that there was a trace of resentment in their eyes. It's just that he can't understand why Zang Ba, who has always been outstanding, was also involved.

"Meet the Tao Envoy!" Zang Ba, Zhang Yan, and Mi Zhu said in unison.

Tao Qian said: "No courtesy, everyone sit down!" ”

Zang Ba, Zhang Yan, and Mi Zhu sat down one after another, and when Zhang Yan sat down, he nodded at Wang Lang and Zhao Yu opposite.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Cao Bao walked in from the outside in embarrassment, and saw Wang Lang, Zhao Yu, and Mi Zhu all sitting on the right, Zang Ba and Zhang Yan sitting on the left, several pairs of eyes were staring at him, he lowered his head, did not dare to look directly at Tao Qian, and arched his hand: "The last general will meet Tao Envoy Jun!" ”

Tao Qian said: "You came just in time, please take a seat first." ”

After Cao Bao took his seat, Tao Qian said: "Today's sages are all here, presumably all for Mi Zhu to be arrested...... The government has always handled the matter impartially and will never bend the law for personal gain. Now it's time to show the evidence of the crime in front of everyone, and let you be convinced! ”
