Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 568 Exposure (4000)

Although found the suspected handwriting left by Zuo Ci.

But because the contents of these handwritings are too succinct, Wu Liang has no way to determine the message Zuo Ci wants to convey.

The only thing he can be sure of now is that these handwritings must have been left for him to see, because there is no one else in this yard except him and Dian Wei, and the handwritings are written with water, and will disappear in a short time Not only is the chance of other people seeing it is very slim, even if he came out a step later, he might not be able to see these words.

That is to say.

Zuo Ci has already regarded him as a suffering brother, and has the intention of joining forces with him in private.

This is naturally a good thing for Wu Liang, and it can be regarded as achieving his original goal, but the price he paid is indeed a bit high, because of his preconceived misjudgment of the situation, which led to himself being imprisoned accidentally.

of course.

Wu Liang will not easily trust Zuo Ci and respond to him, especially not to respond that may leave evidence.

Human nature is the most unpredictable thing in the world.

No one can say what exactly Zuo Ci is planning.

Maybe he just wanted to encourage Wu Liang to escape to attract Zhang Liang's attention, so as to create a chance for himself to escape?

Or deliberately tricked Wu Liang into escaping, but went to Zhang Liang to report his meritorious deeds, so that he could live more comfortably in the future?

In short.

Zhang Liang is on guard.

Zuo Ci also had to defend himself.

Wu Liang has now learned the lesson of this time, and completely put away the sense of superiority of the traverser. He will not make the same mistake now, and he will not make the same mistake in the future, so as not to accidentally lose himself and cause trouble All the soldiers and soldiers were buried together.

So Wu Liang resolutely pretended not to see anything, lifted the lid and poured the water in the copper basin into the wooden barrel, and then stopped looking in Zuo Ci's direction.

He just returned to the room very normally, closed the door and quietly waited for the servant to come to deliver the food again.

No matter what purpose Zuo Ci did this.

The one who is anxious now should be Zuo Ci. Wu Liang believes that Zuo Ci will try to contact him again, and then he will be able to adapt to the situation. What he has to do now is to prepare well for Zhang Liang's next summons.

"?"

Seeing that Wu Liang didn't respond, Zuo Ci's only remaining eye finally had a hint of doubt.

The water marks are gone?
So the kid didn't see what I wrote on the barrel lid?
Or does this kid have a mind of his own?

But it doesn't matter.

This kid may not know who Zhang Liang is. After Zhang Liang summons him, no matter how he thinks about it, he has no choice but to advance and retreat with me...

Zhang Liang!

If you take my trick, you have to be prepared to repay it twice. I will snatch your fate, and no one can stop it!
hiss... it hurts!

……

After breakfast, the servants came in to clean up.

Soon, a well-dressed old man led several soldiers into the small courtyard where Wu Liang was.

This old man is not very old, he looks about fifty, he is vigorous and straight, and his stature is not low, about 1.7 meters, which can be regarded as quite good even among men in this era.

More striking, though, was the scar on the right side of his cheek.

To be precise, it should be a rectangular brand. It seems that this brand appeared very early, and a lot of hyperplastic tissue has grown on the scar, but it can still be seen that the brand is a word, Zhang Liang's Zhang.

He may have been Zhang Liang's slave...

Unlike domestic servants, slavery is a slave without freedom. In the eyes of most slave owners, a slave is not considered a human being at all, but a kind of private property, a kind of animal that can walk upright.

In fact, the Celestial Dynasty ended the slavery society very early, and has already entered the feudal monarchy society today.

However, in this era, some people are still enslaved.

When Wu Liang first crossed the border, he was a slave of the Huren Army, and he had to do all the hard work first, and no one would care if he died, it was just like the death of an animal.

However, since Wu Liang led the Huan army, except for a few stubborn elements who refused to mend their ways and were destroyed humanely, so as not to go out and control their own mouths and ruin their own affairs, as well as the affairs of Boss Cao, there was absolutely no one in the Tuan army. Most of the slaves have already been removed from slavery by him, and he has become a full-time soldier of the Huren Army and enjoys the same treatment.

And even if slavery has not completely disappeared.

In this era, there are very few people who use irreparable methods such as branding or tattoos to mark the faces or bodies of slaves. At least so far, Wu Liang has never seen it with his own eyes. The decree and practice of tattooing on the face like the Song Dynasty.

In such a big environment, the brand on the old man's face is particularly eye-catching.

"You two, come with me."

The old man entered the courtyard and scanned around, especially after looking at Zuo Ci twice more, before coming straight to Wu Liang and Dian Wei, and said with a blank expression.

"promise."

Wu Liang bowed his head in response, followed behind him with Dian Wei, and was watched by the soldiers and walked out of the courtyard.

While walking, the old man warned without turning his head: "You have seen the end of the person who lives next to you who disobeyed the master. The old man said the ugly words in his head. Since you entered Zhang's mansion, you have been You are the master's servant. From now on, you must not deceive the master, disobey the master's intentions, or show the slightest disrespect to the master. You must do what the master tells you to do with all your heart, otherwise the master will not punish you, old man I will definitely not let you go, understand?"

"understand."

Wu Liang nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Could the steward please point out some points that we need to pay special attention to when we meet Mr. Zhang later?"

"?"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly turned around, staring at Wu Liang with a pair of eyes, and a lot of anger was added to his face.

"?"

Wu Liang felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said just now, and he was not sure why the old guy was so sudden, so he could only continue to laugh with his head down and wait for the old man to speak.

After a moment.

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly, and shouted coldly, "I'll write it down for you this time, next time if you ask about the master's affairs with your cleverness, don't blame the old man for not being sympathetic!"

"Yes, yes, the villain knows his mistake."

Wu Liang nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, I was relieved. It turned out that it was because of this incident. I didn't expect this old guy to be so strict and loyal to Zhang Liang.

"Since the master brought you back to the mansion, it means that you are still useful."

The old man turned around and continued walking, but his tone softened a little, and he still said without turning his head, "You can answer whatever the master asks. As long as you don't think too much, don't ask too many questions, and work hard to complete the things the master asked, the master will naturally give you an answer." I won’t treat you badly, if not, you’re just asking for trouble.”

"Thank you for your advice, the villain will definitely keep it in mind."

Wu Liang bowed and thanked.

……

After a few words, the group of people had already arrived in front of a hall in the front yard.

"Search!"

The old man finally turned around again, and nodded to the accompanying soldiers.

Several soldiers immediately surrounded Wu Liang and Dian Wei, and searched them carefully up and down, not letting go of any place where they could hide things.

"Reporting to the steward, no foreign objects were found."

After the body search, the soldier reported to the old man.

"Ah."

The old man nodded slightly, then glanced at Wu Liang, pointed to Dian Wei and said, "He is your servant, he stays outside, you come in with me."

"I must advance and retreat with my son!"

Dian Wei immediately stepped forward and said loudly.

No one knew what Zhang Liang would do if he summoned Wu Liang in, so Dian Wei refused to teach Wu Liang to enter alone, otherwise if Zhang Liang wanted to harm Wu Liang, he would not be able to help at all.

"Shh!"

Those soldiers were a little wary of the burly Dian Wei, but now seeing Dian Wei's sudden movement, they immediately took a step back and revealed the weapons in their hands.

"He is loyal to you, but since you have entered Zhang's residence, you don't need servants."

The old man looked at Dian Wei appreciatively, and then said to Wu Liang, "After a few days, the old man will arrange a good job for him. This strength can also be used by the master, and it is not considered inferior."

It is intended to divide and conquer them.

After all, even now Wu Liang will become Zhang Liang's servant, so how could he leave him a loyal subordinate? Isn't this leaving a hidden danger for himself?

It's just that not only Dian Wei couldn't accept this matter, Wu Liang definitely wouldn't agree to it either.

But at this moment, it is most important to find out Zhang Liang's details first, not to mention that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Zhang Liang will never contact Wu Liang and Dian Wei in private at the same time, especially Dian Wei, who is strong and strong. Wei, this is tantamount to putting yourself at a disadvantage.

So even if they don't want to, they can only agree temporarily.

"Since the steward has spoken, you can wait here first."

So Wu Liang finally winked at Dianwei, cupped his hands and said to the old man, "I will also be indebted to the steward to take care of me in the future, and I must arrange a good job for him."

"promise."

Seeing what Wu Liang said, Dian Wei gritted his teeth and retreated.

Seeing that Wu Liang was so obedient, the old man finally showed a smile on his face, nodded slightly and said: "It's only natural, the master has always loved talent and thirsted for it. This person is a rare strongman at first glance. It may be helpful to train him." If you have the opportunity to become a famous general, you will definitely not treat him badly."

"Then thank you steward."

Wu Liang hurriedly bowed and thanked.

"But you also need to understand that from now on, you are no longer a master-servant relationship. You two have only one master in common, and that is Mr. Zhang."

But the old man went on to say, "If you don't have a way to understand this matter, not only will you not be able to be reused, but you may even bring yourself some trouble."

"The little man understands."

Wu Liang answered with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

"You are a person who knows the current affairs, so go in with the old man, the master is waiting for you."

The old man looked at Wu Liang with a hint of appreciation at the moment, finally nodded, and led him to the hall alone.

……

In addition to Zhang Liang, there are two attendants in the hall.

Wu Liang had seen these two attendants yesterday, when Zhang Liang got off the carriage, they were almost inseparable from Zhang Liang, and now they are separated on both sides of Zhang Liang, they are the real personal guards.

"You came."

Seeing Wu Liang, Zhang Liang raised his eyes slightly, and said as he was still playing with the sachet he took from Wu Liang yesterday.

"Meet Mr. Zhang."

Wu Liang bowed and bowed.

"Get up."

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, and then asked, "Yesterday you said that you are a merchant, and merchants often travel long distances, usually in a caravan, and you need to hire some trustworthy people to guard you along the way, otherwise, in this troubled world, you will not be able to go. No matter how far away you are, you will be robbed by the thieves who occupy the mountains and block the way to plunder, no matter how strong your family is, it will not be enough to pay... Do you have a caravan accompanying you?"

"This……"

The first question stumped Wu Liang.

Although he had discussed a set of rhetoric with Dian Wei in advance, this issue was naturally within the scope, but what Zhang Liang said earlier made Wu Liang dare not talk nonsense.

He suspected that Zhang Liang might already have some information, and he was just trying to set him up to test whether he was willing to tell the truth.

As a result, Zhang Liang waited for him to give a clear answer, and then asked again: "Where did your caravan come from, and where are you planning to go?"

Is it confirmed that Wu Liang has a caravan?
Wu Liang couldn't help being a little worried about the situation of the Huan army.

The entire Jinyang City is Zhang Liang's territory.

At the beginning, Lu Bu sent people to Chenliu to investigate Wu Liang's news, but they were easily captured by Chenliu's local snake Zhu's family.

But now that they have come to Zhang Liang's territory, no one can tell how many eyeliners Zhang Liang has in the city, and whether they have already noticed them. After all, judging from the current situation, Zhang Liang definitely has a hand over the sky in Jinyang City ability.

"Returning to Mr. Zhang, the villain came from Chenliu, Yanzhou. It is only because the Sili Department and Liangzhou have had many wars in the past two years. In order to avoid trouble, he went to Shanshan in the Western Region via Jizhou and Bingzhou."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

This is a double insurance, even if Zhang Liang has really noticed the Huan army, he can be right.

After all, they came from Chenliu, and there was Prince Chamu from Shanshan Kingdom who was good at several languages ​​of the Western Regions. Even his appearance was unique to those from the Western Regions, which could stand up to Zhang Liang's careful scrutiny. .

"The twenty or so people who lived in Zhao's courtyard in the east of the city yesterday are the people of your caravan?"

Zhang Liang smiled noncommittally, and asked again.

"..."

Wu Liang's heart immediately sank when he heard this.

Sure enough, the Huan army was found by Zhang Liang!
However, judging from the current situation, Zhang Liang should not have taken action against the Huan army for the time being, otherwise he would not have wasted his time questioning Wu Liang, nor would he have spoken in such a tone, but should have directly brought people up to teach Wu Good identification is right.

　Originally, I didn't want to talk about family affairs, but I have survived the past few days, and now I can't talk about it.

　　My grandfather passed away last week, and I am preparing for the funeral in the last few days. I will hold a vigil for my grandfather tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There should be an update if I finish my work and go home early the day after tomorrow. After that, the update will return to normal. I hope you all understand, thank you.
