Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 64 Zheng Bao’s decision

Lu Yi pointed to the twenty war horses behind him and said, "These are all given to the Marshal by Mr. Yuan."

"Friendship, you come and I go back and forth, isn't it there?"

The dozens of big men behind Zheng Bao all had their eyes shining.

Zheng Bao's face was also filled with surprise.

Although as the bandit commander in Chaohu, he also had war horses, but he only had two horses, and they were not in good condition.

And these twenty war horses are extraordinary things at first glance!
Ordinary people simply cannot get such horses.

Zheng Bao stepped forward quickly, touched each war horse a few times, and exclaimed: "Good horse! What a good horse!"

Liu Ye, Lu Su and Lu Yi looked at each other and nodded.

Lu Yi watched Zheng Baozheng caressing the tenth war horse lovingly. He walked over and said, "Commander, is this friendship enough?"

Only then did Zheng Bao come back to his senses, looked at Lu Yi, grinned from the corners of his mouth to the back of his ears and said: "Enough! Enough! Enough! Completely enough! Yuan Shu, oh, no, Mr. Yuan is worthy of being the fourth generation and the third prince, take action How generous!”

Lu Yi said: "Mr. Yuan has even greater benefits for the Marshal. I wonder if the Marshal wants to hear it?"

Zheng Bao stopped stroking the war horse, looked at Lu Yi and said, "What does Mr. Yuan want me to do?"

Lu Yi said: "It's not convenient here."

Zheng Bao nodded, looked at these war horses with some reluctance, and said to the bandits around him: "Take them back carefully, don't surprise me. Otherwise, I will not spare you!"

Then all the bandits swarmed up, took the reins of the war horses from Lu Da and others, and led them away.

Zheng Bao was leading the way. While walking in front with Liu Ye, he talked about how hard it had been to find him for the past six months and asked where he had been.

Knowing that Liu Ye was in a garment shop in Zhou's family in Shu County, Zheng Bao slapped his thigh.

His people have been found everywhere.

I even went to Shu County.

But they just didn’t go to the Zhou family’s property.

Even he wouldn't dare to provoke the Zhou family.

After the second and third princes of the Zhou family, their disciples and old officials spread all over the world, and their reputation in Yangzhou even surpassed that of the Yuan family.

Offending the Zhou family will cause endless trouble.

But he didn't expect that just this fear made him busy for more than half a year!
A group of people rushed to Chaohu.

Lu Yi had been here before when he was the director of Juchao. He diverted water from Chao Lake to Juchao and opened up five reservoirs.

Unexpectedly, when I came here again, the place had changed drastically.

There are already buildings on the mountain south of Chaohu Lake.

There were a lot of people moving around in front of these buildings.

Some are digging rocks.

Some are sorting food and grass.

Some are forging iron.

Lu Yi: "."

He even saw a few familiar figures!
They are all young people who originally lived in the nest.

These people did not follow him to Wu County, but stayed in Juchao because they had children at home.

Unexpectedly, they came here.

Looking at the bandits patrolling everywhere on the mountain, Lu Yi sighed secretly.

Nine times out of ten, they were arrested.

In these troubled times, the situation of ordinary people is extremely difficult.

Not only do they have to face wars and heavy taxes from various states and counties, but they also have to be constantly wary of bandits or bandits.

Lu Su obviously also discovered these familiar figures.

He looked a little sad.

He also saw a young girl.

This girl's name was Zhang Ying, and he had seen her often when he was acting as acting chief of Juchao for Lu Yi.

He looks very pure and charming at the age of twelve or thirteen.

He was a little tempted before.

Zhang Ying also flirted with him.

However, when he told his grandmother about it, she didn't agree.

Although the Lu family had moved from Xiapiweitai, they were still an aristocratic family, and my grandmother would never allow Lu Su to marry such a lowly woman.

Therefore, although the two had feelings for each other, they did not go any further.

Later, Lu Su moved to Wu County with Lu Yi. He called her in person, but she refused to leave.

First, it was because there was an old mother in her family who was blind, and she didn't want to be a burden to Lu Yi and Lu Su.

Secondly, she knew that if she went to Wu County and saw Lu Su every day but couldn't get close to him, she would feel very uncomfortable.Lu Su's eyes turned red as he thought about the scene where the two finally said goodbye.

Zhang Ying kept chasing the ship for a long distance.

He tried to get off the boat many times, but his grandmother stopped him.

After all, he didn't have the courage to go down.

But he didn't expect to meet her here again.

Zhang Ying came over at this time.

Seeing that Lu Su was looking at the little girl motionless, Liu Ye pulled down his sleeve and said, "What are you doing in a daze?"

Lu Su said in a hoarse voice: "This woman is the one I liked when I was acting as the acting chief of the Juchao for Brother Lu in Juchao. My grandmother didn't agree, so we broke up. I didn't expect to meet her here. .”

Lu Yi beside him looked at Lu Su with some sympathy.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, so that as long as some people were filial enough, even if they had little ability, they might be elected as filial and honest by the state and county.

He thought of Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in "The Peacock Flies Southeast" which he had learned in the textbook when he was a student.

Lu Yi patted Lu Su on the shoulder.

Before Zhang Ying could get close to the crowd, Zheng Bao came forward to greet her.

In full view of everyone, Zheng Bao grabbed Zhang Ying's butt, squeezed it a few times, and said with a smile: "Why did you come out? Are the servants ready for the banquet? The master is here today, and he is an honored guest, so he cannot be neglected!"

Zhang Ying glanced at Lu Su, her face was a little flustered, but she forced herself to endure it. She smiled at Zheng Bao and said, "I've been ready for a long time. I'm just waiting for you, Marshal, to take your distinguished guests back."

Zheng Bao laughed proudly and said, "You're so good! Wait for tonight, I'll pamper you and make you cry and scream!"

There was loud laughter all around.

Zhang Ying's face turned red.

Zheng Bao thought Zhang Ying was shy, so he laughed even more unscrupulously.

A group of people entered a most luxurious house.

It was already filled with desks.

There were drinks, rice, and even chicken and dog meat on the table.

Zheng Bao invited Liu Ye to sit next to him, and also invited Lu Yi, Lu Su and others to take their seats.

After drinking and eating, Zheng Baocai dismissed everyone, leaving only himself, Liu Ye, Lu Yi, Lu Su, and a white-faced scholar named Kuai Rui in the hall.

Zheng Bao took a sip of wine, then looked at Lu Yi and said, "Lu Shijun, tell me what Mr. Yuan wants to see me for."

Lu Yi stood up and handed Zheng Bao the letter that Yuan Shu had entrusted Yan Xiang to write to Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao glanced at it, handed the letter to Kuai Rui, and said to Liu Ye, Lu Yi, and Lu Su: "I understand, you go and rest first. I will give you the news tomorrow morning."

Liu Ye, Lu Yi and Lu Su stood up and left under the guidance of a maid.

Zheng Bao watched the three people leave, and then said to Kuai Rui: "Military advisor, what do you say?"

Kuai Rui put the letter on the desk in front of him and said with a smile: "The Zhou family has a great business. How could we dare to do it before? Now, Yuan Shu dares to entrust us to do it and promises to give us all the food and grass he grabbed. How can we be happy?" Not?"

Zheng Bao frowned and said, "Yuan Shu wouldn't be so kind, would he? Moreover, this is the Zhou family! I'm afraid they will kill and silence them!"

Kuai Rui smiled and said: "How did Yuan Shu kill people and silence them? How many people did his envoy bring here? If he sends a large army, we have spies within a fifty-mile radius. What are we afraid of him doing?"

"The only place where he can kill people and silence them is in Shu County."

"Once the commander-in-chief becomes greedy and thinks that Yuan Shu will really appoint you as the governor of Lujiang, then the commander-in-chief will be killed and silenced!"

"I think his army must be ambushing in Shu County City, just waiting for you, Commander-in-Chief, to fall into the trap!"

"However, as long as the commander-in-chief does not enter the urn, after destroying the Zhou family, he will immediately go to Xiangyang with food and grass."

"When the time comes, what will Yuan Shu be able to do?"

"With so much food and grass, when the commander-in-chief goes to Xiangyang, Liu Biao will definitely reuse him."

Zheng Bao held his beard under his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning I will tell the envoy Yuan Shu and promise him to eradicate the Zhou family."

Kuai Rui said proudly: "Commander, what are you in a hurry for?"

Zheng Bao looked at Kuai Rui doubtfully.

Kuai Rui said proudly: "We can do more! After the Zhou family is destroyed, the disciples and former officials of the Zhou family will definitely investigate and find us. Marshal, you go to the envoy of Yuan Shu tomorrow and tell him that after the Zhou family is destroyed, You will go to Shu County to take up a post. Before taking office, you will have a banquet to thank them for their help."

"And at the banquet, hack them to death directly, and then send Yuan Shu's letter and their bodies to Wujun District."

"Isn't Zhou Yu, the young master of the Zhou family, there?"

"Let him know that it was Yuan Shu who destroyed the Zhou family, and the commander-in-chief can completely eliminate him."

"Even if someone finds out that it was you, Marshal, who did it, Marshal, you can say that you were forced by Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu is powerful, you have to follow him."

"But Commander-in-Chief, you feel that the Zhou family belongs to the third clan of the Second Prince, and you feel deeply guilty. Therefore, Commander-in-Chief, you gave up on Yuan Shu and took refuge with Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou who was Yuan Shu's enemy."

"All this is so logical."

Zheng Bao excitedly patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful!"
