Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 621 No return or exchange of goods out of the cabinet

Two days later, in the old place, the sun was just right.

Both Sun and Liu arrived as agreed. In addition to the people involved in the negotiations, there were two boats parked nearby. The slightly larger one was storing the ransom money, while the other was a small fishing boat with a shed.

Zhuge Jin's face was full of spring, and he bowed his hands and said: "The 6000 million yuan is all on this ship. General Lan can send someone to check it."

Lan Tian knew that the cargo on board was not light by the amount of draft. He waved his hand and said boldly: "What is a mere [-] to [-] million yuan? I can trust Tzuyu's character. Besides, this is our first transaction, so we must be honest. Lord, don’t you need to check again?”

"Uh, the general is so arrogant." Zhuge Jin proposed to inspect the goods, and also wanted to verify whether it was Lu Meng, but seeing that Lan Tian was so generous, he was embarrassed to mention it again.

"I think it's getting late, why don't you change ships and go back, how about discussing the follow-up transaction as soon as possible?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Very good." Zhuge Jin nodded in agreement.

Gan Ning took out his whistle and blew, and the sailor steered the fishing boat towards him. Zhou Tai signaled with a command flag, and the cargo ship loaded with coins also slowly headed north.

Standing on tiptoe, Zhuge Jin raised his head and looked forward. He vaguely saw a person sitting under the fishing boat shed. Sure enough, his upper body was covered with a black cloth.

"Mr. Ziyu, let's set off together, how about boarding each boat?" Lan Tian gestured with his hand.

"Thank you, General, for taking care of me." Zhuge Jin cupped his hands and saluted.

The entourages on both sides kept a battle distance, headed into the river side by side, and the sailors on the boat also changed boats. When everything was ready, both sides boarded the boat at the same time.

"Quickly lift the anchor and sail the boat." Lan Tian boarded the boat and ordered immediately, and Gan Ning followed and directed the sailors to row the oars.

On the other side, because of the small size of the fishing boat, it was swung back and forth by the Yangtze River. Zhou Tai grabbed the bow rope to fix it, and asked his followers to help Zhuge Jin onto the boat.

"Great Governor?" Zhuge Jin called softly after getting on the boat, only to see the man's body move slightly, but he didn't respond to himself.

At this time Zhou Tai also boarded the boat. Seeing that Zhuge Jin was standing there in a daze, he strode up and took off the black cloth. say.

"The governor, I'll help you." Zhou Tai took off the cloth stuffed in the opponent's mouth, brushed away the messy hair falling from his forehead, and a strange face appeared in front of him.

Zhou Tai backed away in shock, causing the fishing boat to sway from side to side. He pointed at the prisoner and shouted, "He is not the governor, Mr. Ziyu, we have been fooled, hurry up and catch up with Lantian."

The sailors moved when they heard the order, but there were only four oars on board, and they couldn't get up as fast as they wanted.

Zhuge Jin panicked and ran to the shed. He found that the person was neither Lu Meng, nor Pan Zhang, Han Dang, Zhu Ran and others. Suddenly, there was a buzzing in his head. Did Lan Tian lie to him?
No, Fang Zhou Mu didn't act like that, Zhuge Jin hypnotized himself.

"who are you?"

Zhou Tai grabbed the prisoner's collar and asked viciously, but the other party's eyes were blank and he was unwilling to answer at all.

Zhuge Jin was a little panicked, he wobbled and ran to the bow, and shouted not far away: "General Lan, please stop the boat, I have something to say, it's wrong.
As expected, Lan Tian ordered people to stop, and walked to the stern, smiled and clasped his fists: "Mr. Ziyu, what else can I do?"

Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, Zhuge Jin was even more puzzled. He hurriedly asked: "General Lan made a mistake. This prisoner of war is not the commander-in-chief at all. Send him back quickly."

"When did I say that this prisoner is Lu Meng?" Lan Tian asked back.

"You're talking about a high-ranking general. Who else could it be if it wasn't the Commander-in-Chief Lu Meng? If you want to deceive my lord maliciously, how serious the consequences will be?" Zhuge Jin felt faintly uncomfortable when he saw Lan Tian cheating.

Lan Tian replied solemnly: "This general is innocent, so why would he do those dishonest things? Does the senior general represent Lu Meng? His military position is nothing more than General Huwei."

"Don't worry about Ziming's military rank, he is the governor of our Jiangdong, and I don't know this person, so you can't just find someone to make up for it?" Zhuge Jin argued.

Lan Tian frowned and said, "The man on the boat is called Yu Jin. He is General Zuo under Cao Bandit's command. This military rank is no better than that of Lu Meng? A senior general is worthy of his name, right?"

Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai behind him were stunned. Jiang Dong spent 6000 million in exchange for a Cao Ying general?
"But we are redeeming the Jiangdong general, and we are not interested in even Cao Cao himself. General Lan, please change it for us." Zhuge Jin hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy.

"The ransom goods have been delivered, how can you ask for a replacement at will? If you want to change if you are not satisfied, wouldn't things be messed up? How much time do I have to play with you? Besides, this is the rule of dark redemption. You have to take the risk because you are greedy, and if you redeem your mistakes now, you are no different from others." Lan Tian said with certainty.

"Keep, I can't make the job." Zhuge Jin was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Lan Tian frowned and stroked his beard, "Ziyu can go to those trading houses and ask, the so-called goods will not be returned or exchanged after leaving the cabinet. This matter is indeed your fault, but it doesn't matter if you spend a little money. Yu Jin has a high status in Cao Cao's heart. It can be resold to him.”

"Ah, this." Zhuge Jin was at a loss.

Lan Tian waved his hand: "Ziyu should take Yu Jin back to report first, no, my fleet will wait here for a while, maybe your master wants to buy some middle-level generals?"

"I" Zhuge Jin has a hard time.

Zhou Tai came behind him and advised, "This person is deliberately setting a trap for us. This fishing boat can't catch up with Lantian. We should go back and report to the lord first. At worst, we will fight them with the navy."

"It has to be like this." Zhuge Jin beat cucumbers like frost, and his whole body had no strength.

The two boarded the big ship with Yu Jin, and everyone on board was stunned when they saw that it wasn't Lu Meng. Sun Quan got angry and scolded Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai in public, and then sent someone to take Yu Jin out of the cabin and settle him down.

After the storm was over, Sun Quan asked the civil and military officers on board to express their opinions. The dumb people had already suffered, and the prisoners had to be abandoned.

Gu Yong complained in a low voice: "I said to buy the middle-level generals first, in case there is a fraud in Lantian and the loss will be smaller. Now it is 6000 million in vain to redeem the ban."

"Okay, this is the end of this matter." Sun Quan suddenly shouted angrily, which shocked Gu Yong's body.

Seeing that the scene was under control, Sun Quan continued to ask with false eyes: "That guy Xuan Ou is a rascal in the market. I didn't like him the first time I saw him. I can't keep playing tricks like this. Does he have anything to say?"

"General Lan gave us the news that the rest of the redemption transaction has not yet been negotiated." Zhuge Jin replied with his head bowed.

Sun Quan slammed on the railing, "You have so much courage, You Ping, order the warship to enter combat readiness, and I will go to meet him in person."

"Wei." Zhou Tai nodded and cupped his fists.

"That humble job" Zhuge Jin knew that he had messed up his errand, so he was speechless facing Sun Quan at this time.

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "It's hard work for Ziyu to take Yu Jin to Ruxu and imprison him. What that bastard Lan Tian said is not wrong. We paid such a high price for Cao Cao's restraint, and spent a billion to redeem his general. Isn't that reasonable?"
