Chapter 733: Sun Zhong
Time passed in a hurry, and another half a month passed, and the commercial negotiations with the princes from all walks of life were completed one after another. Although the trade price has dropped slightly, the final transaction price is still as high as 300.8 million gold!
After the price was negotiated, the princes shipped the goods one after another. There was no tailwind in the beacon fire, let alone an east wind, so the princes could only personally send their henchmen to escort the goods to Pingzhou.
Fortunately, the current situation of the princes' melee has not yet begun, and it is no problem to send a small number of troops to escort goods across the border.
And today, Shang Ji is going to receive a few special guests.
Niu Fu sent by Dong Zhuo and Guan Hai sent by Zhang Jiao came together to escort the barley wine and talisman raw materials needed by the merchants. Of course, as Niu Fu and Guan Hai, it is not worth Shang Ji to greet him personally, the object of his greeting is the great Confucian Cai Yong!
After trade negotiations, Dong Zhuo finally relented and allowed Cai Yong to accompany him to Pingzhou to give lectures for a month.
"Cai Gong came from afar, and he worked hard all the way!"
Seeing Cai Yong coming out of the carriage, Shang Ji immediately took two steps forward and welcomed him personally.
"General Shang is polite, the old and first-order rotten Confucian, he deserves a great gift from the general." Cai Yong hurriedly returned the salute.
"Hahaha, Brother Bo, it's been a long time since I saw my demeanor and it's better than in the past!"
"Brother Yanfang (Wang Lie), Brother You'an (Guan Ning)! Yong suffered from the case, but it is not as good as the two of them who are chic and happy in Pingzhou! ”
Seeing the two old friends, Cai Yong was also in a pretty good mood, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he arched his hand.
Several of them were Confucian at that time, belonging to a circle of people, it was not surprising that they knew each other, Shang Ji stood by and watched them politely, and after half an hour, Cai Yong said with some twist: "General Shang, can you let the old man take a look at the rumored Liangqin?" ”
Wang Lie and Guan Ning looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't mind. Cai Yong loves the piano, which is well known. Jiaoweiqin is made of a piece of sycamore wood that Cai Yong rescued from the fire, and now there is a chance to see the rumored Liangqin, Cai Yong is trying his best to endure it before he speaks at this time.
"Of course, I bothered Cai Gong to go to Pingzhou just to go around Liangqin!"
Shang Ji smiled slightly, and a broken piano appeared in front of everyone. Cai Yong's face was overjoyed, and he rushed forward in three or two steps, snatched the Liangqin and looked at it carefully.
Inspecting Liang Qin, the expression on Cai Yong's face can be described as wonderful. Joy, pain, regret, and grief are intertwined and superimposed, which is quite interesting.
It took a while for Cai Yong to react, his face was full of apologies, and he bowed his head and said: "The old man is rude, please forgive the general!" ”
"It's okay!" Shang Ji laughed and waved his hand: "Cai Gong's name of the idiot qin will also be heard, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation when I see it today." It's just that I don't know if Cai Gong is sure to repair this Liangqin? ”
As soon as he talked about this problem, Cai Yong suddenly became proud, and said with his head high: "The general is relieved, although the Liangqin is destroyed, the main body is still there, and it is not difficult to repair." The materials are sufficient, and the old and decayed piano can be repaired within five days! ”
"Materials?"
Shang Ji's brows furrowed when he heard this, this material that can repair the artifact should be very rare, right? I don't know if it's good or not.
Cai Yong saw Shang Ji like this, so he didn't know what he was worried about, and immediately explained: "The main body of the Liangqin is still alive, and there are two broken strings, Longchi, Fengnuma, Guanjiao, Chenglu, Qinzhen, Yunnuma, etc., and the damage is not serious. The materials needed for restoration, although expensive, are not particularly rare. According to the old estimate, all the materials are about one million gold, and the general won't even be able to take out a million gold, right? ”
Cai Yong said a lot of exclusive terms about the piano, and Shang Ji was confused, how could he understand this thing! However, the last sentence of Cai Yong's question Shang Ji understood that the material cost required to repair the Liangqin did not exceed one million gold!
"Cai Gong rest assured, although Pingzhou is bitterly cold, it is not so bad that he can't get a million gold. Pingzhou Mansion Treasury Cai Gongyu takes what he wants, as long as he can repair the Liangqin, there will be a heavy thanks! ”
Cai Yong smiled: "There is no need to thank you, you can personally restore a famous piano through the ages, even if you pay out of your own pocket, you are willing to eat it!" ”
"Cai Gong is high-spirited and bright, and he will admire it. Ben Jiang has already prepared a place for Cai Gong to settle in Xiangping Academy, and asked Cai Gong not to refuse. ”
"I'm tired of the general."
Shang Ji turned to look at Guan Ning and Wang Lie, and said with a slight fist: "I am entangled in mundane affairs, so I can't entertain Cai Gong in person, and I ask the two of you to take care of it on your behalf." ”
"The general's words are serious, this is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility!"
Wang Lie and Guan Ning hurriedly said, Cai Yong came to Xiangping to give a lecture in name. As representatives of Pingzhou's education circles, entertaining Cai Yong was originally within their duties.
sent the happy Cai Yong away, and Shang Ji had time to look at Niu Fu and Guan Hai.
Niu Fu Tiger has a bear waist on his back, and he looks very strong, but the beacon fire is different from reality, how a person's combat effectiveness has little to do with body size, Zhao Yun, a "thin" military general who can be a cream boy based on his appearance, can beat 99.9 percent of the tiger's back and bear's waist type general.
Although he looked extremely fierce, Niu Fu was full of smiles at this time, and said to Shang Ji: "The lower official pays a visit to General Shang." ”
Niu Fu's official position at this time was Zhonglang General, far below Shang Ji's general of Zhengbei, so he could only be commensurate with the lower officials.
"General Niu is welcome, he came all the way from afar, is the road going well?"
"Hahaha, thank you General Shang for your concern, but although the world is big, no one dares to rob General Shang and Xiangguo's goods!"
Niu Fu laughed and said loudly.
Shang Ji couldn't help but smile, although Niu Fu's tone was rampant, it was really not a wild speech. There are princes who are not afraid of Dong Zhuo, and there are more princes who are not afraid of business, but there are really not necessarily people who dare to offend these two people at the same time!
"General Niu has worked hard all the way, the general has already ordered someone to prepare a little thin wine, and after the handover, please drink it freely!"
"Thank you, General Shang!"
Niu Fu clenched his fists, took a step back, and let go of Guan Hai behind him.
Compared with Niu Fu with a smile on his face, Guan Hai's expression was quite unfriendly. If conditions permitted, Shang Ji believed that he would definitely stab himself to death.
"Shang Ji, everything you want is here, hurry up and hand over Brother Sun Zhong!"
Staring at Shang Ji viciously, Guan Hai called his name directly.
"Hmph, the moth thief dares to call the lord by his name!"
Guo Biao, who was behind Shang Ji, immediately jumped out, his hair was all open, and he glared at Guan Hai angrily.
"Uncle Wu, you are a guest from afar, you must not be rude!"
"It's the lord!"
Guo Biao glanced at Guan Hai angrily and took a step back.
"General Guan, although our two families were a little dirty before, you are a guest today, so I won't bother with you. But if you think that Ben is scared of you, you can try!! ”
As he spoke, Shang Ji's momentum suddenly erupted, as if a substantial killing machine enveloped Guan Hai, and the majestic momentum was like Mount Tai pressing down, making Guan Hai's breathing immediately short.
But this momentum came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was calm again.
If it weren't for the cold sweat on his forehead, Guan Hai would even think it was an illusion.
Seeing Guan Hai's palpitations, Shang Ji nodded slightly in his heart. Although Guan Hai is also an S-level general, his strength is at the bottom of the S-level generals, which is far worse than the top S-level generals like Shang Ji.
The two fought fairly, and with all their strength, Shang Ji was confident that he could end the battle within twenty moves.
After being taught a lesson by Shang Ji, Guan Hai was a lot more honest, although his eyes were still full of resentment when he looked at Shang Ji, but he didn't dare to forget the basic etiquette. Theoretically, Guan Hai is the cavalry lieutenant of the imperial court, and his official position is inferior to Niu Fu!
"General Shang, dare to ask me where Brother Sun Zhong is?"
"Bring Sun Zhong up!"
Soon, Sun Zhong was escorted up. At this time, Sun Zhong's complexion did not look good, and he would not build any luxurious prison even if that force was allowed to do so, Sun Zhong had been in the prison for three years, so it was strange that his complexion could be good!
Out of the cell for the first time in three years, Sun Zhong was still a little uncomfortable. He didn't know the real reason why he was brought out, and he thought that Shang Ji's patience had run out and he was going to behead him.
However, at this time, Sun Zhong's expression was indifferent, and he felt like he was dying generously.
Three years is long enough, three years of hard thinking and meditation is enough for a person to understand himself. In this life, there are only great sages and good teachers in this life!
The great sage and good teacher educated himself, and allowed himself to grow from a hungry man to a decisive Yellow Turban general, and this kindness was not enough to repay it three times. The only pity is that his strength is low, and he didn't contribute much strength in the original Huangtian Great Cause, and he failed to live up to the trust of the great sage and good teacher in him.
Today's death at the hands of thieves, although it is a little regrettable, but it is also expected. I should be impassioned, and strive not to fall into the prestige of the great sage and good teacher!
"Brother Sun Zhong!"
In a trance, Sun Zhong seemed to hear a somewhat familiar shout.
Sun Zhong shook his head in his heart, and secretly mocked himself: "I can't imagine that Sun Zhong, who claims to be heroic, would hallucinate before he died!" ”
"Brother Sun Zhong!"
"This illusion...... How can this illusion be so real? ”
"Brother Sun Zhong, I'm Guan Hai! Brother Sun Zhong doesn't remember me? ”
Guan Hai took two steps in three steps, rushed to Sun Zhong's side, and grabbed Sun Zhong's somewhat emaciated body.
"Tube...... Guan Hai? Are you Brother Guan Hai? Brother Guan Hai, why are you here? The dog officer arrested you too?? ”
Sun Zhong's eyes widened, and he looked at Guan Hai who was close at hand in disbelief.
Guan Hai cried with joy and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Sun Zhong's expression was sluggish, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Brother Guan Hai, so the old man still remembers my unscrupulous disciple Sun Zhong?" ”
"Of course, of course, how could the great sage and good teacher not remember Brother Sun Zhong? It's just that the brothers who were defeated on the battlefield misinformed Brother Sun Zhong that you had dedicated yourself to the great cause of Huangtian, but I didn't expect to be ...... by this dog Captured by General Shang. When the Great Virtuous Master found out, he immediately sent me to negotiate with General Shang and take you back! ”
"Great sage and good teacher, Sun Zhong...... Sun Zhong is sorry for you! ”
Sun Zhong was stunned for a while when he heard this, and suddenly began to hug his head and cry, his voice was terrible, and everyone who heard it was sad.
Shang Ji watched quietly from the side, and became more and more curious about Zhang Jiao in his heart.
In fact, Shang Ji had never seen Zhang Jiao at all, but none of the high-ranking generals of the Yellow Turban Army captured by Shang Ji surrendered to Shang Ji. At the beginning, Shang Ji was only regarded as a fanatical blessing in the state of Heavenly Fortune, but even after the end of Heavenly Fortune, Shang Ji still failed to recruit a high-ranking Yellow Turban general like Sun Zhong.
Although he has never met Zhang Jiao himself, Shang Ji admires Zhang Jiao's personal charm! He even thought that his subordinate generals were captured by the enemy, how many could Sun Zhong do this for three years without surrendering?
Just when Shang Ji was sighing, a sudden change occurred, and a strong momentum suddenly erupted from Sun Zhong, who was crying on the ground, which made Shang Ji suddenly startled.
This momentum is not strong, and it is comparable to Yang Cheng and Gao Xiang when they burst out with all their might, but the "meaning" in the momentum is extremely firm!
As far as Shang Ji knew, Sun Zhong was an A-level military general when he was captured, but that was a level under the blessing of the Yellow Turban Army's Heavenly Fortune State, and he was only a B-level military general himself.
But at this time, Sun Zhong's momentum has greatly exceeded the standard of ordinary A-level generals, and he is striding towards the peak of A-level generals!
"Weigh...... Title promotion??? ”
After watching it for a long time, Shang Ji realized that this Sun Zhong had encountered an extremely rare title advancement.
After being in prison for three years, his strength skyrocketed after he was released, what kind of operation is this?
Including Shang Ji, they all looked at Sun Zhong in the breakthrough in amazement!
