(PS: 50,000 words will be exploded today, so stay tuned...... ）

Zhang Yan walked out of the state pastoral mansion with an unhappy face, and what he never dreamed of was that the money Tao Qian gave him was only five hundred gold.

500 gold wants to be used to build a fortress and form a strong army?

It's just wishful thinking.

At this moment, Zhang Yan's mood plummeted, and the original spirit was gone, in exchange for a melancholy face.

Xu Sheng saw Zhang Yan's depressed mood, but he didn't ask more, just quietly followed behind him.

Zhang Yan was in front and Xu Sheng was behind, and the two of them walked aimlessly on the street.

"Lord Zhang, please stay!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind Zhang Yan, and he looked back, but saw that Wang Lang and Zhao Yu were chasing after him.

He arched his hand and said, "Two adults, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Lang first glanced at Xu Sheng behind Zhang Yan, and when he saw that Xu Sheng's face had been tortured, he couldn't help but show a trace of panic in his expression.

Zhang Yan saw the clue and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, don't be afraid, although Xu Sheng has been tortured, he has already reformed now, and now he is my confidant, without my orders, he will not hurt anyone." ”

When Wang Lang heard Zhang Yan say this, he was relieved, looked around, and saw that this place was located in a busy city, and the nearby voices were noisy, so he said to Zhang Yan: "Lord Zhang, there are many people here, and it is not a place to talk, can you go to the next place?" ”

Zhang Yan heard that Wang Lang seemed to have something to say to himself, so he nodded and arched his hand: "Then disturb Lord Wang." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu were in front, Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng were behind, and the four of them turned a few streets and finally came to the door of a mansion.

Wang Lang stopped in front of the door and said to Zhang Yan: "Lord Zhang, this is the Humble House, and it is fortunate to invite a distinguished guest like Lord Zhang to come, which makes the Humble House shine......

"What did Lord Wang say, Zhang is just a martial artist......"

"Even if Lord Zhang is a martial artist, in Wang's opinion, he is also a martial artist who is well versed in the art of war, and I, Xuzhou, need a martial artist like Lord Zhang. Mr. Zhang, please inside! ”

Wang Lang pushed open the door, stood at the door, and personally invited Zhang Yan into the house.

Zhang Yan raised his leg and stepped into Wang Lang's house, only to notice that Wang Lang's residence was no different from ordinary people's homes.

Historical records record that Wang Lang was brilliant and generous, but his personality was rigorous and generous, dignified and frugal, and he received nothing even the gifts he received for the wedding banquet. He often ridicules those who have a reputation for charity, but do not show compassion for the poor, so they often give money to the poor. It can be seen that Wang Lang is indeed an honest official who is virtuous, has both talents and tools, and refuses to seek fame from kitsch.

Wang Lang studied under Taiwei Yang Ci in his early years, and was very well-known and well-known for his annotation of Confucian classics. Therefore, he was recommended by Yang Ci as Langzhong and served as the magistrate of Jiangqiu County.

Later, due to Yang Ci's death, he abandoned the official service for mourning, and no matter who recommended him again in the future, he would no longer be a leader. If it weren't for Tao Qian's chance to save his family's life, he wouldn't want to come out to be an official.

Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng were invited to the living room by Wang Lang and Zhao Yu, and the four of them sat separately.

Wang Lang asked someone to serve another pot of good tea, and after pouring it full, he picked up the teacup, and then said to Zhang Yan: "Lord Zhang, Wang never drinks alcohol, so please Haihan." Today, Wang replaced wine with tea and toasted Lord Zhang with a glass. ”

Zhang Yan picked up the teacup, drank it all, and then said gently: "Lord Wang invited me here, it shouldn't be as simple as drinking tea, right?" ”

"Master Zhang is really smart...... Wang Lang hahadaxiao got up and glanced at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu understood and said busily: "Actually, we called Master Zhang here to discuss important matters. ”

"Zhang listened attentively." Zhang Yan said.

Wang Lang said: "Today in the state minister's mansion, Tao Yuanjun's words are still asked to be taken to heart by Lord Zhang. After all, during this period of time, money was indeed used in various places in Xuzhou. However, no matter how difficult it was, Tao Yuanjun originally planned to allocate 2,000 gold from the treasury as funds for building a fortress and forming a strong army. But I don't know where Tao Yuanjun heard about Mi Zhu's subsidy of 5,000 gold to Master Zhang, and he immediately became angry. However, the person who Tao Envoy Jun was angry with was not Lord Zhang, but Mi Zhu. ”

"Is it because Mi Zhu gave me too much gold?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhao Yu said: "Exactly." Although Mi Zhu is the richest man in Xuzhou, he is kind and charitable, and often takes out some money to support Tao Yuanjun. In my impression, Tao Yuanjun once begged Mi Zhu once in the most difficult time, and Mi Zhu only gave Tao Yuanjun 500 gold at that time. But now Mi Zhu gave Mr. Zhang 5,000 gold with a wave of his hand, such a big gap will be uncomfortable in anyone's heart. That's why today, Tao Envoy Jun only gave Master Zhang 500 gold ......"

Wang Lang hurriedly interjected: "The reason why Tao Yuanjun did this is completely for the sake of the overall situation. Since Master Zhang has received so much funding from Mi Zhu, Tao Yuanjun can use the money originally used to build fortresses and form a strong army to relieve refugees...... Therefore, for the sake of thousands of refugees, please don't take this matter to heart......"

"Yes, yes, everything is based on the overall situation." Zhao Yu echoed casually.

Zhang Yan listened to Wang Lang and Zhao Yu singing and harmonizing, not only explaining that Tao Envoy Wei Shenme wanted to give him only 500 gold, but also had the meaning of persuasion, as if he was afraid that he would resent his Tao Qian.

"Although the two adults can rest assured, I have no intention of resenting Tao Yuanjun in the slightest. In fact, I didn't come this time to ask for money, on the contrary, I just wanted to inform Tao Yuanjun that I had Mi Zhu's funding and didn't want to ask for so much money anymore......"

When Wang Lang and Zhao Yu heard Zhang Yan say this, their hearts finally settled down, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door outside.

As soon as Wang Lang's family opened the door, a person rushed in, Wang Lang's family couldn't stop him, he broke into the hall directly, ran to Zhang Yan, immediately knelt down, and said with a pleading face: "Lord Zhang, hurry up...... Go and save my master......"

Zhang Yan suddenly saw Mi Qiang, the housekeeper of Mi Mansion, kneeling on the ground, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with your master?" ”

"Just now, Cao Bao surrounded the entire Mifu with Danyang soldiers, and insisted that my master was a spy of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, so he dragged my master off the bed and tied him up, and the housekeepers and maids were taken away, I protected the eldest lady and escaped from Mifu, and first placed her in a safe place, and then came to look for the adult, and begged the adult to save my master!"

Mi Qiang's words are convincing, and his face is sincere, not like he is lying.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt like they had heard a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Where did Cao Bao take people?" Zhang Yan hurriedly asked.

"The master was taken to the dungeon by Cao Bao along with the others...... Lord Zhang, I finally found you, please save my master, my master has been wronged! Mi Qiang cried.

Zhang Yanhuo stood up, strode towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned to Wang Lang and Zhao Yu with a stunned face, and said: "Two adults, Mi Zhu has always been kind and charitable, often helps the people, is a great good man, I don't believe he is Cao Cao's spies." I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. I'm going to the dungeon to save people now, and I'm going to ask the two adults to help, and I'll go to the governor's mansion to ask what happened. ”

"Okay, let's go now." Wang Lang and Zhao Yu replied in unison.

Cao Bao is Tao Qian's confidant, this is a well-known thing, not to mention that Cao Bao brought Danyang soldiers this time, if there was no Tao Qian's order, how could Cao Bao dare to be so presumptuous?

The group was immediately divided into three groups, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu went to the state pastoral mansion to find Tao Qian to ask what was going on, Zhang Yan took Xu Sheng directly to the Tancheng dungeon, and Mi Qiang went back to protect Mi Zhen after telling Zhang Yan where Mi Zhen was hiding.

Zhang Yan was very anxious in his heart, he ran up, walking like flying, and Xu Sheng behind him also followed closely, and after some inquiry, he learned where the dungeon was.

He and Xu Sheng soon came to the door of the Tancheng dungeon, but they saw that the guards here were all Danyang soldiers, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and the garrison was so strict.

"Master, do you want me to distract them?" Seeing this, Xu Sheng immediately asked.

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "No, I'll go in alone for a while, you go to the barracks to find Zang Ba, just say that I am in trouble, and ask him to lead the troops to the rescue." ”

"Whoa."

"Without further ado, go now!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Sheng responded, quickly left Zhang Yan, and galloped in the direction of the barracks.

Zhang Yan stayed at the door of the dungeon for a while, carefully observed for a while, and saw a jailer come out of the door of the cell, carrying a huge basket, and he quietly followed him.

He followed the jailer all the way to an alley, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly struck out, knocked the jailer unconscious directly from behind, and then took off the jailer's clothes, put them on himself, and returned directly to the cell.

Zhang Yan swaggered to the door of the cell, and the Danyang soldiers in charge of the guards saw that he was wearing the clothes of a jailer, so they didn't stop him, and directly let him in.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the cell, he saw that the courtyard was full of Danyang soldiers, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and the guards were really impenetrable.

At the same time, he faintly heard howls coming from his cell, as well as the loud sound of leather whips.

He glanced around, and suddenly saw that there was a room directly opposite the door wide open, and there were ten Danyang soldiers standing at the door, and from inside came Cao Bao's hysterical roar: "I'll give you another chance, do you want to draw or not?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Mi Zhu's voice came out: "I'm not guilty, why do you want to draw a prison?" ”

"Good! Toast and don't eat and drink, tie him up for me, and let him taste my whip! Cao Bao roared.

When Zhang Yan heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and walked angrily towards the opposite room.
