The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 Chapter 018
I don't know how long it took for Mi Zhen to wake up gradually. She found herself lying on a big couch with a thick bedding under her body and a soft blanket covering her body. The fragrance made her feel unusually warm and comfortable.

Suddenly, Mi Zhen became extremely nervous, she clearly remembered that she was about to freeze to death in the canyon, why is she lying in such a warm and comfortable room now?

She sat up immediately, and wanted to get out of bed after throwing off the blanket, only to find out that she was completely naked.

"what--"

Mi Zhen screamed, and immediately wrapped herself in the blanket again. She scanned the whole room, and noticed that on a table near the bed, there was a new set of women's clothes. On the bed, there is still her expensive fox fur coat.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two young and beautiful maidservants came in from the outside. Seeing Mi Zhen sitting on the couch nervously, they asked in unison: "Miss Mi, what's the matter?" gone?"

These two maidservants were guarding outside the door to serve Mi Zhen, when they heard the screams in the room, they immediately pushed the door in from the outside, fearing that something might happen to Mi Zhen in the room.

Mi Zhen looked at these two beautiful maidservants, and hurriedly asked: "Where is this place, who are you, why am I here?"

One of the maidservants replied: "As Miss Mi said, this is the Pengcheng government office. When Miss Mi was in a coma, it was our lord who brought Miss Mi back and told our sisters to take good care of Miss Mi..."

"Pengcheng government office? Then your lord is..." Mi Zhen calmed down a little, then asked.

"Our lord is Prime Minister Pengcheng!" the maidservant replied.

Mi Zhen was startled for a moment, and quickly asked: "You mean, Zhang Yan brought me back?"

Both maidservants nodded.

Mi Zhen wrapped the blanket around her body even tighter, and asked suspiciously: "So, the clothes on me...are also taken off by your adults?"

The maid replied: "That's not true. When the lord brought Miss Mi back, she didn't have any temperature in her body, so the lord asked someone to boil hot water, and arranged the two of us to wait for Miss Mi to take a bath. The clothes on Miss Mi , We took it off. After our lord sent Miss Mi to the room, he left, and told us to notify the lord once Miss Mi woke up..."

As soon as she said this, the maidservant's voice stopped abruptly, and she suddenly said to her companion: "Oh, I was so busy talking, I forgot to inform you..."

Another maid hurriedly said: "I'm here to wait for Miss Mi to wash up, you should go and inform your lord."

"it is good!"

As soon as the words fell, the maidservant bowed to Mi Zhen first, then left the room and closed the door from the outside.

The other maid went straight to Mi Zhen's bed, and said respectfully to Mi Zhen: "Miss Mi, if you need a servant, just ask."

Mi Zhen pointed to the brand new women's dress and said, "Bring me that dress!"

"Here!"

……

In the hall of Pengcheng Mansion Yamen, Zhang Yan had just returned from the prison cell. With an angry expression on his face, he picked up a jar of wine and drank heavily to vent his anger.

Yesterday, he led five hundred Danyang soldiers to wipe out the group of thieves who looted gold, and he even beheaded the head of the thieves with his own hands.When he came back, he brought all the captured thieves back to Pengcheng, locked them in cells, and interrogated them one by one.

Finally, from the mouths of these thieves who looted gold, it was learned that the head of the thieves was Que Xuan, who was from Xiapi.This man was very brave and ruthless, and he was well-known in Xiapi. Because of fighting with others, he accidentally killed someone, and was wanted and went into hiding.

Later, Que Xuan pretended to be a yellow scarf, plundered the people, collected gold and silver, and gradually gathered a group of people, and began to gather in the mountains and forests, making a living by looting houses.

Que Xuan had his eye on Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou early in the morning, but he never got a chance. This time he heard that Mi Zhu was going to transport a batch of gold to Pengcheng, so he became malicious and led people to ambush him on the only road in Wuyuan County. Looted the gold.

In addition, he also learned that the reason why Que Xuan was so rampant was inseparable from Xiang Ruo Rong in Xia Pi.

According to Que Xuan's confidants, although Que Xuan is their leader, in fact, Que Xuan has been obeying orders from Xiapi Prime Minister Ruo Rong, that is to say, Que Xuan is Ruo Rong's subordinate.

Ruo Rong, as Prime Minister of Xiapi, nominally sits in charge of one side to protect the environment and the people, but he did not expect to do this kind of thing secretly.

If what Que Xuan's confidant said was indeed true, then the reason why Que Xuan looted this batch of gold was entirely because he listened to Ruo Rong's orders.

About Ruo Rong, Zhang Yan knew very little, but heard from Que Xuan's confidants that this person was from the same town as Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and the reason why he was able to serve as Xiapi Prime Minister was entirely because of Tao Qian's support.

Zhang Yan was in the hall, gulping down a big gulp of wine, the anger in his heart was still not dissipated, and instead he used the wine to relieve his worries and worries even more.

Not long after he came in, Chen Deng followed in. Seeing Zhang Yan's angry face, he hurriedly said, "I've heard about everything in the cell. If Que Xuan was really instructed by Ruo Rong, Then looting gold is no small matter..."

Zhang Yan put down the wine in his hand, and asked angrily: "What is the relationship between Ruo Rong and Tao Shijun?"

Chen Deng replied: "Years ago, the Yellow Turbans rose again in Qingzhou, with more than a million people, rushing into Xuzhou. Tao Shijun led the army to attack. After several battles, Tao Shijun was surrounded by the Yellow Turbans. At this time, Ruo Rong led the crowd to seek refuge with Tao Shijun. Seeing that Tao Shijun was besieged, he led the crowd into the siege, and successfully rescued Tao Shijun, which was considered to have saved Tao Shijun's life. The people led by Ruo Rong were all from Danyang. Soldiers, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and Ruo Rong himself is very brave and good at fighting, and he is also a fellow countryman, so he is deeply liked by Tao Shijun. He was expelled from Xuzhou. After the war, Tao Shijun asked the imperial court to appoint Ruo Rong as Prime Minister of Xiapi, and asked Ruo Rong to supervise the water transportation of Guangling, Pengcheng, and Xiapi. In addition, Tao Shijun from time to time He will also give some rewards to Ruo Rong for no reason, which shows how much Tao Shijun attaches great importance to Ruo Rong."

"Since Tao Shijun attaches so much importance to Ruo Rong, why didn't Ruo Rong send even a single soldier here when the siege of Pengcheng was so close to Xiapi?" Zhang Yan asked.

Chen Dengdao: "Tao Shijun asked Ruo Rong to send troops to support, but Ruo Rong refused to send reinforcements because he was not Cao Cao's opponent. As a last resort, Tao Shijun personally led the army from Tancheng to support. In fact, this matter, It also made Tao Shijun very angry, but from the beginning to the end, Tao Shijun didn't seem to mention how to deal with Ruo Rong. Until now, Ruo Rong is still sitting firmly in the position of Xiapi Prime Minister."

While the two were talking, a maid came in from the outside, first bowed to Zhang Yan and Chen Deng, and then said: "My lord, Miss Mi has woken up!"

Zhang Yan waved his hand to the maidservant, and said, "Understood, you go first, I'll be there in a while."

After the maidservant left, Zhang Yan asked casually, "Can Mi Fang wake up from a coma?"

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "Although Mi Fang suffered only skin trauma, the arrow wound was very deep, almost hitting the vitals, and she lost too much blood, she is still in a coma."

"Hey! If Mi Fang can't wake up, how can I face Mi Zhu?" Zhang Yan sighed heavily.

"Human life is in the sky, how can life and death be controlled? If Mi Fang really can't wake up, just tell Mi Zhu the truth of the matter, I believe he won't blame..."

Having said this, Chen Deng suddenly stopped talking, stroked the blue beard on his chin, and said to Zhang Yan: "Uh... there is one thing, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Seeing Chen Deng's hesitation, Zhang Yan said, "Brother Yuanlong, you and I are about the same age, and I have already treated you as my own brother. What can I say? It's okay to talk."

Chen Deng then said: "Mingda, there is a huge opportunity in front of you now, if you seize this opportunity well, then your goal of replacing Tao Qian and separatist Xuzhou will be achieved in a short time , I just don’t know if you are willing or not?”

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked: "If there is such a good opportunity, I will definitely not miss it. What kind of opportunity is it?"

Chen Deng laughed and said: "Miss Mi is in the mansion now, and she is Mi Zhu's only younger sister. If you can win Miss Mi's heart and marry Miss Mi as your wife, then you and Mi Zhu will be closely linked. No matter what you do, he will naturally stand by your side, and if you want to replace Tao Shijun and separate Xuzhou, Mi Zhu will definitely spare no effort to support you."

"I understand what you mean. But, I don't want to rely on a woman to achieve my goal, I want to rely on my real ability..."

"It's not a skill to be able to capture the hearts of beauties?" Chen Deng interrupted Zhang Yan and reminded.

Zhang Yan was startled for a moment, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the back hall, and said to Chen Deng: "I'm going to see Miss Mi, those prisoners in the cell, please take care of them."

Chen Deng looked at Zhang Yanyuan's back, shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "Duplicate guy..."

Zhang Yan walked towards Mi Zhen's room in three steps and two steps at a time. For some reason, the closer he got to that room, the faster his heart beat, and his face became slightly hot. He was looking forward to seeing Mi Zhen as soon as possible. .

He came to the door of the room and raised his hand to push the room away, but thinking it would be impolite, he knocked on the door a few times first.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who is it?" Mi Zhen's silver bell-like voice came from the room, it was pleasant and sweet.

Zhang Yan said: "Miss Mi, it's me, Zhang Yan."
