Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 521 What...thing are they holding on to?
Before leaving Jingzhou and arriving at Yiling, no one had thought that such a sensational thing as "assassination" would happen in this territory.

Because the only people who knew about Liu Chan's return to Chengdu were county officials from Bashu along the way, Zhao Yunhui subconsciously felt that this must not be an assassination by Cao Wei or Soochow.

The order to assassinate must have come from within.

--"Who is the one? 』

Of course, Zhao Yun has no time to think about it at this moment...

The sound of arrows has already sounded, proving that there is more to the enemy than meets the eye. Perhaps... the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.

It is precisely based on this that when faced with the charge of hundreds of cavalry, Zhao Yun commanded: "Form up and protect the young master!"

Then, he raised the gentian silver gun.

The cavalry in front of them also seemed to be well-trained. The troops and horses of each team met in one place and formed a fan shape in an instant, trying to break through the protection of Zhao Yun and his personal guards, looking for weaknesses and opportunities to attack the carriage.

Without a single word, a fierce battle began.

The assassins are well-trained, and their moves are not fancy, and their postures are not beautiful. They only aim to take people's lives and leave no one alive. Every movement of rushing, stabbing, hacking, and slashing is done without any sloppiness. The target is also extremely consistent, that is Liu Chan and Liu Adou in the carriage!

Even as strong as Zhao Yun, because he had to take into account the safety of Liu Chan in the carriage, he couldn't let go at all. He could only guard around the carriage and dare not rush back and forth to kill him.

However, the Seven Detectives' Coiled Snake spear technique used simplicity to defeat simplicity and speed to defeat speed. Although the number of people besieging them was large, they could not get even half a step closer to the carriage.

But with more than thirty people, the defensive formation was tight after all, but facing the impact of more than a hundred people and having to protect the carriage... it was difficult not to expose flaws.

Several times... the assassin feinted his shot in an attempt to attack the carriage. When the defenders came to rescue him, he turned back with a carbine... Many of the soldiers guarding him did not react quickly and rolled over and fell to the ground, never to fall to the ground again.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun is strong enough...

With both offense and defense, he was able to withstand the assassin's attacks almost by himself.

Even Zhao Yun was able to find the energy to observe the battlefield here.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

——"Killing like this is a bit risky and there will be some casualties, but we expect to be able to intercept the enemy and protect the young master's safety." 』

——‘Besides, with such a big movement, it’s impossible for the officers and soldiers here to remain indifferent! 』

never thought...

His voice just groaned in my heart.

On the edge of the grassland, on the opposite side of the river, a thin whistle suddenly sounded in the dense forest...

Then the branches and leaves swayed, and another thirty men and horses in black flew past.

The water column on the originally calm river also surged, and nearly thirty killers in black were added, wearing silver water tanks and rising into the sky with water spikes in their hands.

The two groups met at a point where they formed an angle with the previous cavalry. They instantly formed a frontline formation and rushed towards the carriage.

——"This thief's reinforcements are actually one step faster!" 』

——"They must not have ambush just today. It seems...did they have a premeditated plan?" 』

Zhao Yun just thought of this...

"Stop that Zhao Zilong——"

Someone among the men in black gave an order, and immediately, more than thirty killers in black who came from the water surrounded Zhao Yun and blocked his rescue carriage.

The previous hundred or so people held back the soldiers guarding the carriage, while the thirty or so new riders stabbed directly at the carriage.

"Sir, be careful..."

Zhao Yun shouted, and he galloped to the rescue, trying to save...

He had no choice but to be blocked by more than thirty people at close range, how could he get rid of it so easily.

He watched helplessly as the sharp spear passed over him, and the cold wind was like ice, stabbing into the carriage mercilessly.

"Master Adou..."

In Zhao Yun's anxious cry, the carriage was almost turned into a hornet's nest... windows, doors... were punctured with holes everywhere, more than thirty spears were pierced, and the people in the carriage were densely packed with gun shadows... It was impossible Get out of the way.

The occurrence of this scene made Zhao Yun's eyes red. He raised his head with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he no longer cared about blocking... He jumped up with his feet on the war horse, and his body was rolled up like a whirlwind, as if a whirlpool sucking human life was rolled out...

The gentian bright silver spear released a faint green light, and with the blood flying, the more than thirty spears pierced the carriage. The assassins who had not had time to withdraw had their necks scratched by the sharp edge of the spear... and fell to the ground.

This sudden change not only shocked the living assassins, but also boosted the morale of the guards, together with the officers and soldiers who came to support after hearing the news...

They gathered together, taking advantage of the enemy's momentary sluggishness, swung their weapons one after another, unsheathed their sharp blades, and sealed the throats of these thieves with one strike.

Looking back at Zhao Yun, it was rare for him to maintain his final sanity despite his anger, and his movements did not pause at all.

With a flash of lightning, a palm was swung out, and it was imprinted on the chest of the leader of the thieves. Then he went up and removed his jaw neatly, threw his body to the ground, and stepped on it.

Finally, Zhao Yun asked angrily in a sad and angry tone: "Who gave you the instruction? Tell me! Tell me -"

As Zhao Yun captures the thief and the king...

The entire battlefield also returned to a state of chaos. At this time...the officers, soldiers and guards also finished their killings and came to Zhao Yun's side...glaring angrily at the leader of the thieves at Zhao Yun's feet.

"If you don't say I'm the only one who will die, if you say... my whole family will die -"

This thief is quite tough...

Zhao Yun knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so he raised his arm and punched the man on the side of the face hard.

There was only a muffled groan, and as the killer spat out a mouthful of blood, several teeth were spit out...

Immediately afterwards, there was a tremor that seemed to be caused by a huge force...directly causing him to faint.

"Take them down and make sure to interrogate the mastermind..."

Zhao Yun gave instructions to the group of officers and soldiers who came for support.

"promise…"

Following this voice, Zhao Yun's stern eyes gradually converged, and he looked at the carriage with great sadness... He was fine when he came, but who would have thought... Master Adou... could not go back!

Or under the protection of his Zhao Zilong?
He...he simply betrayed his lord's trust!
How can he explain to the Lord and everyone...

For a moment, Zhao Yun blamed himself extremely.

But having said that, who could have imagined that such an assassination and such a shocking act would happen on their own territory...in Jingzhou!

"I...I am Zhao Zilong! It's really damn——"

Zhao Yun punched the car so hard that he couldn't even bear to open the door and look inside. He couldn't accept this bloody and cruel scene.

Never thought, right now.

"Ouch... Xiaoyu? Are you okay? It just... scared me to death——"

A voice came out...

It was Adou's voice. Zhao Yun was startled. Hearing this voice at this time gave him a feeling of surprise.

"Thanks to the master's wit, I'm fine..."

This time it was the sound of a fish.

Zhao Yun was about to leave in search of fame when he saw Liu Chan and Yu Hao crawling out of the wheels of the carriage, like two puppies...

Liu Chan said while climbing back, "Sure enough, what Master Yun Qi said is right. You have to be calm when encountering things. It is not advisable to sit still and wait for death. The most dangerous place... is often the safest place!"

This…

Zhao Yun was in a daze.

Be calm when things happen——

It is not advisable to sit still and wait for death——

The most dangerous place...is the safest place——

"Are these all given to Adou by Professor Yun Qi?" 』

"It is precisely because of this that Adou calmly analyzed...did he choose to hide under the carriage at the most dangerous moment?"But...when did he leave the carriage? 』

Not to mention Zhao Yun didn't notice, even the assassins who aimed to kill Liu Chan didn't notice either.

This is... changing things up!

At this time, Liu Chan was still dusting off his body and said to Yuhuan: "Master Yunqi told me a story, saying that once Ma Teng rebelled in Xudu City and set an ambush at the city gate... But that cunning man Cao Cao often used a sheep to replace himself when he returned to the city, but he hid in the carriage behind where he stored the baggage. Sure enough, he passed the city gate... Thousands of arrows were fired, and the sheep became a scapegoat and died for Cao Cao... I was then He also lamented to Master Yunqi that Cao Cao is so cunning... But Master Yunqi said that this is wisdom... You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others... He also said that when encountering danger, don't panic and find a way to protect yourself. Life, only in this way will things turn around——"

Liu Chan sighed with emotion and was quite embarrassed at the same time.

This…

For the first time, Zhao Yun felt that Liu Chan's words were so philosophical.

As if, you can see through this incident...

In the past six months...Guan Lin's teaching to Liu Chan has been very effective.

This made Zhao Yun both shocked and delighted. At least... there was no catastrophe caused by his negligence.

However, the most dangerous thing is never the cliff, but the carelessness and negligence that lead you to go astray and encounter catastrophe on the smooth road.

You will surely get carried away if you are proud...

Sure enough, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Chan, but they never thought that the assassin who had already fallen to the ground had faked his death... He looked at the gap, and only heard a "swish" sound, and the hidden weapon in his sleeve had already been killed. Throwing it out, it flew straight towards Liu Chan like a beam of dawn.

Zhao Yun's ears were sharp enough, but it was already too late when he heard the roaring sound in the sky...

He watched helplessly as the flying knife flew across the sky and plunged straight into Liu Chan's chest.

This is the key...

If you win, then...

--"Oops! 』

Zhao Yun exclaimed subconsciously.

Exactly: Why do you raise a cup and drink freely? It’s never too late to draw your sword and donate your life to regret——

In just one afternoon, the courageous Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong... he made at least two mistakes!
...

...

Willow branches in the moon——

Zhang Zhao walked with heavy steps and walked along the path to the side room where Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban were resting. He didn't know whether he was worried about the late night visit, the difference between men and women, or whether he didn't dare to disturb them because of the "name of monarch and minister".

He said...I don't care about this...

But after all, Zhang Zhao was young and extremely shameless, so... he stood in front of the door of this wing for a long time without ever stepping inside.

call…

With a faint sigh, he felt at a loss as if he didn't know how to move forward or retreat.

He could only lower his head and think secretly... Wouldn't it be more polite to wait until tomorrow morning, after Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban woke up to visit them again?

Just when he was at a loss...

Suddenly, a voice came from inside, which was the conversation between Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban. It seemed like... they couldn't sleep, and they were discussing something in the courtyard.

"The moon is so full tonight...where is Xiaohu?"

These are the words of Sun Shangxiang...

Sun Luban responded immediately, "Auntie doesn't know yet? Is it Xiaohu who is serving Mr. Yunqi tonight?"

Hearing these words, Sun Shangxiang let out a deep and heavy sigh, "I've wronged you and Xiaohu. If it weren't for the letter from the eldest brother... If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of Guan Lin and planned to surrender, he let go Don't want to lose that little face? In name, they have made reforms and let the Lujiang soldiers stick to it... secretly, they have sent us sisters to beg for surrender... If... if not... then there is no need for you sisters to commit to Guan Lin, and you don't even have a title. No...just...just a maid filling a house...Have the Sun family ever suffered such humiliation?"

"Aunt..." With the protracted ending, Sun Luban gritted his teeth and seemed to have experienced a rather complicated inner struggle before he spoke: "The surrender letter my father gave to Young Master Yun Qi mentioned that he wanted Young Master Yun Qi to send The flying ball appeared in the sky of Lujiang as a deterrent... forcing Lujiang to surrender himself, and then creating an illusion... It was his father who was forced to surrender in order to save Li Shu from Jiangdong... In this way, his reputation was preserved …”

This was something that had been agreed in advance and recited by Sun Luban.

But the moon and stars are sparse, the sky is dim and the earth is dark, this situation... coupled with the gloomy mood in Sun Luban's heart, these words are actually full of sincerity.

At least... Zhang Zhaoxin was convinced outside the gate.

"Alas..." Sun Shangxiang continued, "Second brother has such a good reputation. In fact... the country has perished. Is he forced to surrender out of helplessness or give up resistance? What's the point of a subjugated king? People have lost their country. Only the final winner will be remembered..."

"In this game, Soochow has lost. It has completely lost from the moment Guan Lin became a blockbuster... For more than a year, his scheming has penetrated Soochow pervasively... The second brother is no match for him. Me neither, everyone is no match for him!”

"aunt…"

The conversation between Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban came to an end with the last soft call of "Auntie".

It's like it's finally... and it's like giving people unlimited reverie.

Looking at Zhang Zhao outside the door, he was daydreaming... As the thoughts deepened, he was stunned in place, his eyes were blank, and he felt that his heart... was being deeply scratched by Sun Quan.

On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, he surrendered... That was because his hometown was Xuzhou. If he surrendered, he would be able to return home in glory.

But now... he wants to fight to the death. The soldiers in Lujiang all want to fight to the death, but my lord, my lord, why did you surrender first?

finally…

Even in the end, Zhang Zhao did not knock on the door of the courtyard, but at this moment, hot tears were already rolling down the corners of his eyes, melting away the stiffness on his face after being blown by the night wind. These tears were actually a deterrent. Unable to stop, it was like a broken bead falling down with a "plop" and "plop"...

He turned his back to the door and walked forward with heavy steps... step by step. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. All he thought about was:
"My lord, my lord, I will not surrender this time. I am willing to fight to the death, but why did my lord surrender first -"

The night wind is dancing wildly, the breath is steaming, and the cold road is like a dream.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed that he was the only figure standing alone. He walked very slowly, like a sculpture, and his lips were trembling... as if he was repeating the same sentence... words that deeply touched his heart.

"——Why did my lord surrender first?" 』

...

Finally, as Zhang Zhao's heavy footsteps disappeared into the night wind, the "drama" that had been arranged long ago in the courtyard of the wing also came to an end...

However, in addition to Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban, Gan Ning, who was familiar to both of them, was also in the wing.

It seemed that because Gan Ning was here, Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban both seemed a little reserved and nervous.

It seems that...in Jingzhou, their status with each other is completely opposite to that in Soochow.

At this time, a soldier came quickly and reported to Gan Ning, "General Gan, he has left -"

Gan Ning nodded, then looked at Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang opened his mouth at the right time, "Now, is the Fourth Young Master Guan satisfied?"

It seems that this is Sun Shangxiang's current attitude after Sun Luyu's persuasion.

With Zhu Ran's death, she was completely disheartened. She felt that there was nothing worth thinking about in Soochow.

My father is gone, my eldest brother is gone, my third brother is gone...

It’s gone, nothing is gone, so don’t worry about it!
Sun Luban gritted her teeth, and she was struggling in her heart... She didn't want to help Guan Lin, but the situation dictated it, and she knew... If she didn't help Guan Lin, then she, her aunt, and Xiaohu would definitely be humiliated in every way, and Soochow would definitely end up It will be more miserable than they imagined.

"Cough cough..."

Gan Ning coughed slightly, then stood up, "Madam, Miss... Gan Ning won't say much else. Everything that happened here and what Madam and Miss said, Gan Ning will truthfully report to Mr. Yun Qi. I believe that. Young Master will also be quite happy and will not embarrass you two..."

After saying that, Gan Ning handed over his hand and said, "Madam, miss, please rest early. Gan Ning takes his leave!"

Without saying anything, Gan Ning quickly walked out of the room with a few personal guards...

Everything went smoothly, and there was no need to report to Mr. Yun Qi tonight.

Speaking of which, Master Yunqi and Xiaohu Sun Luyu...

Ha ha…

The scene in Gan Ning's imagination ended abruptly here.

The picture is so beautiful, I dare not think about it!

As the saying goes... don't look at anything inappropriate, don't look at anything inappropriate——

...

...

In the village, at a post station, Liu Chan was lying on the bed, his chest covered with blood.

Zhao Yun and Yu Huan guarded around him extremely worriedly.

Because it is a village, there are no doctors, and the nearest doctors have to be transferred from the county town.

All are worried.

But when only Zhao Yun and Yu Huan were left in the room, Liu Chan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

This sudden scene surprised Zhao Yun and Yugao.

It was only then that Zhao Yun noticed that what was being crushed in Liu Chan's hands covering his chest was a blood bag... Therefore, the blood on his chest was not Liu Chan's.

It's what comes out of this blood bag...

——"A Dou did this on purpose? 』

For a moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but exclaimed: "Adou? Are you okay?"

"Shhh..." Liu Chan quickly raised his index finger to signal Zhao Yun to speak softer... Then he opened his coat, pointed to the armor on his chest, and opened his mouth softly: "This leather armor... was given to me by my master. This leather armor! It was this leather armor that saved me..."

This…

Only then did Zhao Yun notice that indeed...Liu Chan was wearing the leather armor that Guan Lin asked him to give to Liu Chan under his coat.

Can…

Zhao Yun saw clearly that it was clearly a flying knife. At such a close distance and with such fierce force, not to mention leather armor, even fish scale iron armor might not be able to stop it, right?

Liu Chan slowly stood up and leaned on the bed, "Don't tell me, it really hurts a little... But this leather armor is so strong and so light... It seems that my master mentioned that the buffalo leather should be processed. Then it is dried and made into underwear armor, which is neither heavy nor invulnerable... Come to think of it, this is the armor made of buffalo leather. It is not in vain that the master ate so many cows. These cows have done great service... I will also wear them when I return to Chengdu Put cows on the table, reward them well, and use their skins to make armor!”

Uh...this...Zhao Yun was very surprised, surprised that Liu Chan was completely unafraid, and even more surprised...that in such a dangerous assassination situation, he could still think of slaughtering cattle in Chengdu.

Of course, both Zhao Yun and Liu Chan were wrong. The armor Guan Lin gave to Liu Chan was not an armor made of buffalo leather.

It is an inner armor made of leather that has been stripped of rhinoceros skin and stretched to dry.

Its level of defense...is not comparable to that of two or three buffalo hides combined.

This process sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do.

The first is shedding. The shedding here is not as simple as removing the pig hair or deer hair when eating pork or venison. It will fall off when burned with fire. Buffalo hides and even rhinoceros hides need lime water tempered with quicklime. Put the fur in and soak it.

Lime water will destroy the chemical composition of hair proteins and eat away the remaining fat and meat on the leather.

This step is called liming.

During the process, you don’t just leave it in the pool and ignore it, you need to stir the skin in the lime water three times a day!

As for the time...it needs to be soaked for one week in summer and two weeks in winter before being picked up.

Then rinse it with clean water and scrape it clean with a blunt scraper... This is the first step.

The second step is to harden. Use beeswax to cook the leather, so that the beeswax can penetrate into the fibers of the leather. The entire leather will not only be waterproof, but will also become much harder. In addition, a low-cost method can also be done with tung oil. Soaking cowhide in tung oil can also greatly improve the hardness of the leather, making it waterproof and insect-proof.

After that, according to the records in "Army Preparation Summary", first brush oil, then sprinkle iron filings on it, then use tools to pound it into the leather, then brush oil again, then sprinkle iron filings and pound tightly, repeat this several times, and the leather will The material can be as hard as iron armor, but ten times lighter than iron armor.

This thin and strong "inner armor" was only developed in the Ming Dynasty because of the scarcity of materials and the complexity of the manufacturing process.

Even Guan Lin... only made three sets!

Being able to give a set to Liu Chan can be said to be a sign of respect for Liu Chan...

In fact, Guan Lin thought of it in advance.

Liu Chan may encounter some dangers from within!

Because based on Guan Lin's understanding, Liu Chan was not born when Liu Bei adopted his son, and in ancient times, adopted sons could inherit by substitution according to etiquette and law, and were the No. 1 choice for succession!
If we think of it again...in history, during the defeat of Maicheng, someone turned a blind eye to his father Guan Yu's plea for help, and Guan Lin felt the need to step up his protection of Liu Chan.

Only then did he take out the "personal" treasure and give it to him.

This cowhide inner armor cannot be penetrated by machetes, one-handed axes, one-handed knives, or two-handed knives. In Guan Lin's previous tests, only two-handed axes could break through the defense!

I never thought that the so-called "precautionary measures" would lead to "accidents" happening so early...!
"Uncle Zilong, please don't make any noise. My master said that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others... Therefore, I always carry this blood bag..."

Liu Chan's voice came out again, but this time, it became much more serious.

"You're fine..." Zhao Yun asked doubtfully, "Why use a blood bag to cover it up?"

"Uncle Zilong, you don't understand this..." Liu Chan continued to talk eloquently, "I have learned nothing else from Master Yun Qi in the past six months, but I can always learn something about understanding people's thoughts... "

"how to say?"

"Uncle Zilong, think about it, if the news is released... I am still alive, then the people who want to harm me will not give up. There are countless assassinations along the way... On the contrary, if the news is released and I am dead... then what harm will happen to me? The people will no longer send anyone to stop us, and at the same time...the guy with the evil intentions behind him will slowly surface!"

Well…

Liu Chan's words made Zhao Yun's eyes widen.

It even reminded him of the eight words Guan Lin said to him when he met Guan Lin before leaving - strong and easy to break, born of weakness!

——"What Adou tells us is that he is strong and easily broken, born of weakness?" 』

——"Use the news of the death to confuse the enemy and reach Chengdu safely, and then use the news of the death to lure out those who harbor evil intentions... In the past six months, Adou seems to have learned a lot! 』

I don’t know whether I have a new understanding of “strong and easy to break, born of weakness”, or I am filled with emotion about Liu Chan’s progress and transformation...

Zhao Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath...

——‘Am I the only one who has remained unchanged in the past six months? 』

For a time, strength is easy to break, but weakness is born... together with the following eight words, "The sound is loud, the elephant is invisible", began to tremble in Zhao Yun's mind repeatedly.

Liu Chan seemed to be a chatterbox. He imitated Guan Lin's sinister look with his chin in front of his face, "Xiaoyu, you must cry a little more sadly later... The sadder you cry, the more the enemy will believe it. As for...the mastermind behind the scenes, hehe, my master always tells me...it's actually very simple to find out who is behind the scenes...just look at this matter, who benefits the most! The biggest one, the one who can't wait the most...must be The mastermind behind the scenes!"

Yu Tiao opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Chan in disbelief. At this moment, he just felt sincerely:

——'Young Master is so awesome! 』

...

...

The next day, the weather was clear, the sun was shining brightly, there was no cloud in the sky, and the visibility was very high.

The wooden boat flying the Soochow flag was about to leave the port. This was a vessel that could only be found in diplomacy. The wooden boat easily passed through several water rails and beach dams, and docked steadily in front of a platform.

"Zhang Changshi and Mr. Zhang, you can get on the boat..."

It was Guan Lin who came to see them off in person. At this time, the boatman grabbed the chain and threw the anchor into the water, while standing waiting for the people on the shore.

Zhang Zhao’s face didn’t look pretty…

On the other hand, his son Zhang Cheng raised his hands towards Guan Lin and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yunqi, for your hospitality these days..."

"Don't talk about this." Guan Lin showed a harmless smile, "We will meet again soon. When the time comes, we will all be our own people, brothers..."

As he spoke, Guan Lin patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder in a friendly manner. "He is worthy of being the son of Duke Zhang. He is young and promising. He will definitely be a pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future..."

"Young Master Yunqi, thank you for the award..." Zhang Cheng quickly saluted again.

Zhang Zhao also said goodbye to Guan Lin in silence. His face was as gloomy as ever, and it was obvious that there was something on his mind.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will treat the two princesses well..." Guan Lin smiled at Zhang Zhao, then spread his hands: "Mr. Zhang, please... the boat is already waiting.

heard...

Zhang Zhao staggered across the pedal, swayed, and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, he was held by his son Zhang Cheng, and he survived.

Not long after, the wooden boat headed east and left the port...

It was only then that Zhang Cheng asked his father Zhang Zhao: "Dad, you have been out of your mind since you came back last night. My son has asked me many times, but you haven't said anything. What on earth happened?"

call…

Zhang Zhao let out a long breath, pondered again, and then opened his mouth, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them all.

It was as if something disgusting was stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. His whole old face seemed to be holding back internal injuries.

"Dad? What happened? You...you should tell me!"

Zhang Cheng seemed more anxious than his father Zhang Zhao...

"Ah... alas..."

With a long coda, under Zhang Zhao's helpless, helpless, confused and bewildered face, he angrily flicked his long sleeves, showing an expression of extreme pain.

"My son... do you know? What does it feel like to be stabbed in the back by a 'human master'?"

"What did dad mean?"

"Alas... alas -" There was another long-ended sigh, and Zhang Zhao's mood could not be improved. Zhang Zhao's mood had already reached its lowest point...

Lord Sun Quan has surrendered!
He...he Zhang Zhao, he...these soldiers in Lujiang who are not afraid of hardships and risk their lives, what else do they want to defend?
What...thing are they holding on to?
...

...
