The Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

()Chapter 9 Thunderbolt (recommended)

"My lord, Steward Zhang has arrived." The servant stood at the door and reported respectfully.

"Okay, you go down, and invite Steward Zhang to come in." The prefect Liu Ling who was sitting upright did not stand up, but just waved his hand to signal, his face was neither neglectful nor overly enthusiastic, just business-like look.

When Zhang Ling came in, he raised his eyelids and took in the scene in the room. He was not surprised by the prefect's attitude. After all, he was only the housekeeper of Liu Yu's family, and the other party's willingness to receive him was due to Liu Yu's marquis. The face of the position is improved, but I want the other party to stand up to greet him, unless Liu Yu comes in person, this is only possible.

But what surprised Zhang Ling was that the handsome man who was sitting still couldn't help but think of the conversation with Liu Yu. He was the son-in-law of Liu Yugao in Youzhou, who was the governor of Liaoxi. Gongsun Zan...Gongsun Bogui.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "In Xiazhangling, I have seen Governor Liu." After speaking, he turned around and saluted Gongsun Zan with a calm expression, "I have seen Governor Gongsun."

Regardless of whether it was Liu Ling who was sitting at the top, or Gongsun Zan, their hearts were moved when they heard the words, and they secretly praised: "Just a housekeeper has such a vision, but the young master who has never been masked is not a simple one. character."

At that moment, Gongsun Zan, who was sitting upright, couldn't help standing up and bowing before sitting down. He is a guest today and doesn't need him to deal with it, so he can sit quietly and watch.

"Steward Zhang, please sit down."

Liu Ling looked at Zhang Ling, who was kneeling on the right, and because he had a good first impression, he immediately asked with a smile, "Butler Zhang is here, what advice does Marquis Liu have for you?"

"Facing the eunuch, how dare you give me advice." The other party was polite, but Zhang Ling didn't dare to follow the polite way, and immediately said respectfully.

After finishing speaking, looking at Liu Ling who was waiting for the good news, Zhang Ling immediately turned serious, embellished Liu Yu's confession in his heart, and then spoke slowly.

"Half a month ago, a small group of barbarians invaded Lizhong, resulting in countless casualties. Even Lord Hou almost died. After investigation, it was found that some Han Jian dared to collude with barbarians. Therefore, Lord Hou wanted to mobilize family law in anger , and send servants to ask for instructions from the prefect."

While talking, Zhang Ling observed the changes of the two people in the hall, and found that they were all smiling and listening, and they couldn't see anything, so he continued: "Before the Lord Hou came, he asked the younger one to pass the message on his behalf."

Gongsun Zan and the two of them were all moved when they heard the words. Now they also had a little interest in this little prince who had never masked his face, and now they all really wanted to know what conditions that young prince would use to impress him.

"Two years ago, my father and mother were killed by barbarians, and now there are beasts who dare to collude with their father and enemy. I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this revenge. I also ask Liu Taishou to take care of this honor and not to interfere with this matter." , if I win, I will naturally owe the eunuch a favor at that time, even if I am defeated and die, I believe the winner will help me repay the eunuch's favor at that time."

Liu Ling's heart moved when he heard the words. Although the other party said it tactfully, he probably meant that he hoped that he would stand by and not help each other. When the time comes, no matter if Liu Yu wins or someone else wins, he will not lose a share of his benefits. Why not do that.

Immediately Liu Ling wanted to agree, but he couldn't help thinking of his son-in-law, Gongsun Zan. Although he was conceited that he had some vision, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Gongsun Zan, who had not yet made a fortune, as his son-in-law, but in comparison, he had to admit that his son-in-law He was more than a notch better than him, and immediately looked at Gongsun Zan who had been looking at him since just now.

After receiving his father-in-law's look, Gongsun Zan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up immediately, and smiled at Zhang Ling, "I have been in love with Lord Liu Hou for a long time, since I met Steward Zhang today, I would like to ask Steward Zhang to act on my behalf." Let me introduce you."

As soon as Gongsun Zan's voice fell, not only Zhang Ling was stunned, but even Liu Ling, who was looking forward to it, showed surprise. With the wisdom of the two of them, of course they knew that although Gongsun Zan didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his words was not only to agree to the two. He didn't help each other, and even agreed to stand on Liu Yu's side.

Although Zhang Ling was surprised, he was even more excited, but driven by the rest of his rationality, he immediately stood up and said with a happy face: "Gongsun Taishou is willing to go, this old slave believes that Lord Hou will sweep the couch to welcome you. "

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Liu Ling stopped talking. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and said a few polite words before sending Gongsun Zan and Zhang Ling away.

When Zhang Ling led Gongsun Zan to go to Liu's house, he immediately dispatched someone to tell Liu Yu the news that Gongsun Zan was about to visit. District magistrate?

As for Liu Yu's other mission, before Zhang Ling's visit to the prefect's mansion, he had already sent someone to notify the members of the Liu family who were still in Zhuo County, and those people should have arrived at Liu's house by now.

.............

Liu's house, in the garden of Liu's mansion.

After Liu Yu listened to the information brought back by his servant, after waving his hand to make the servant retreat, he pondered for a while before his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Come here, call Liu Wu to see me quickly."

This Liu Wu is an orphan adopted by Liu Yu's father since he was a child. He is now 32 years old and is the captain of the Liu family's guard. After listening to Liu Yu's orders, they were recruited from Zhuo County, and twenty dead men from Liu's family followed.

After a while, the muscular Liu Wu walked over quickly and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Quickly recruit your subordinates, and arrest all those on the list for me." Liu Yu ordered in a solemn voice with his hands behind his back.

"Master Hou, if someone resists on the way, I don't know...?" Looking at Liu Yu's back, Liu Wu also understood Liu Yu's actions in the past half month, but the people who were about to attack were all members of the Liu family. His surname is also Liu, but he is just a slave in the final analysis. If he wants to do something to those masters, he still needs Zhang Yu, the master, to speak.

"Resist?" Liu Yu turned around and looked at Liu Wu who was bowing his head. The cold light in his eyes flickered, and he said coldly, "What are the weapons in your hands for? If anyone dares to resist, I will kill you on the spot."

Hearing the murderous intent in Liu Yu's words, Liu Wu trembled all over immediately, and the cold sweat dripped from his drooping head. He knew how many people would die if Liu Yu's words went on, and he couldn't help being terrified by Liu Yu's cruelty, so he responded immediately. With a sound, he backed away a long way before he dared to turn around and leave. During the process, he didn't dare to look at Liu Yu from the beginning to the end.

Looking at Liu Wu's back, a cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes. Just now, if Zhang Ling was standing in front of him, he could guarantee that the other party would carry out his orders without saying a word, but Liu Wu No, because, in the final analysis, the object of Liu Wu's allegiance is the Liu family, not Liu Yu alone.

If one day, when he told the other party that he wanted to fight for world hegemony, a decision that would plunge the Liu family into a catastrophe, half of the other party would betray him for the sake of the Liu family.

Although it is only a possibility, and the situation may change at that time, he can even win over the other party and turn the other party into his diehard loyalist, but Liu Yu doesn't want to make things so troublesome. If the person standing here today is Zhao Yun, even generals like Zhou Cang and Miao Hua, he would try his best to win him over, but Liu Wu, who is not even considered a general, really has no value for him to win him over.

However, after what happened this time, he made up his mind that he must win over a group of people who are only loyal to him in the shortest possible time, and if he wants to do this, the people who stand in front of him are those people like Liu Zheng , these people must die, and die quickly.

Think here!

Liu Yu couldn't help being filled with murderous aura, and walked towards the gate step by step. He had to go out to greet Gongsun Zan's arrival. Gongsun Zan deserved this kind of treatment. Somewhat secondary.

After Liu Yu stood at the door for half an hour, Zhang Ling arrived with Gongsun Zan.

When the two of them came, besides Liu Yu who was waiting at the door, there were also people kneeling on both sides of the door, including Liu Zheng, Liu Wu and others. The angry Liu Wu and other 20 people.

It can be said that the arrest of Liu Zheng and others went very smoothly, and there was no blood in the process. Apart from Liu Yu's sudden attack, it was also a reason why Liu Zheng and others did not believe that Liu Yu dared to hurt them. In their hearts, this time , Liu Yu sent people to "invite" them, at most it was just to warn them, never thought that Liu Yu would kill them.

That's right, what I said was please. Although Liu Yu said to Liu Wu that he was arrested, Liu Wu and others invited Liu Zheng and others very politely, which made Liu Zheng and others see Liu Yu standing at the door. , Thinking that they were waiting for them, everyone let go of their worries one after another, and several people kept relying on the old and selling the old to Liu Yu.

However, after Liu Yu's face was full of coldness and he directly ordered the most noisy people to be beheaded, everyone in Liu Zheng finally recognized the reality, did not dare to speak anymore, and knelt on the ground with disastrous faces.

And what Gongsun Zan saw when they arrived was this scene. Immediately, they got off their horses and walked quickly towards Liu Yu who was coming to meet them.

When Gongsun Zan walked towards Liu Yu, he glanced around and looked at the man in the brocade suit kneeling on the ground, especially the blood on the ground. grade.

"My servant, Liu Yu, has met the prefect Gongsun." Liu Yu walked up to Gongsun Zan and saluted.

"Master Hou, you are being polite. Zan has been friends with Lord Hou for a long time. Please forgive me for coming here suddenly." Gongsun Zan also hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Zhang Ling, who was standing on the side, also quickly saluted: "Master Hou."
