The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 252

Fan Ah nodded, and said to Diao Chan: "Madam, please stretch out your wrist!"

Seeing Zhang Yan's serious face, Diao Chan seemed to be angry, her brows were furrowed, and her heart was flustered, so she stretched out her wrist and let Fan A put her finger on his wrist to feel his pulse.

After a while, Fan Ah let go of Diao Chan's wrist, didn't say anything, just shook his head at Zhang Yan.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan stretched his brows, but the doubts in his heart must be resolved today.

So, Zhang Yan said to Diao Chan: "Your health is fine. I asked the maid who served you, and I know that you have been drinking safflower all the time. Your health is fine. Why do you keep drinking safflower?"

When the matter came to this point, Diao Chan no longer concealed it. It seemed that nothing she had done could be hidden from Zhang Yan's eyes. Otherwise, why did she call the imperial physician Fan A over?
Diao Chan sighed heavily, and said with a dejected expression, "General, it's not without reason that I drink safflower all the time."

"I'm all ears!"

"The general is a man of gold, and Diao Chan is just a lowly concubine. I am satisfied with being able to serve the general in this life, and I dare not have any extravagant hopes for the rest. So, for so long, I have been insisting on taking safflower. , In this way, I can not get pregnant."

Zhang Yan was a little surprised when he heard Diao Chan's answer, and asked, "You don't want to get pregnant? Why? Don't you want a child of your own?"

Diao Chan said: "If I were the concubine married by the general Mingmei, maybe I would give birth to the general, but I am just a lowly concubine who was abused by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu successively. When Lu Bu died, I wanted to die. But I didn't expect to meet the general. My status is low, and I am not worthy to bear children for the general. I just want to be able to serve the general and I am satisfied. I have nothing else to ask for. Besides, the general is now under one person. An important official of the imperial court who is over [-] people, I am such a lowly woman, if I really gave birth to children for the general, then my children are also of low status, it is better not to have children than to be looked down upon by others."

After listening to Diao Chan's words, Zhang Yan felt very uncomfortable. He didn't care whether Diao Chan was perfect or not. Ever since he got Diao Chan, Diao Chan had been very well-behaved, serving him with all his heart by his side. Besides, He never cares about anything, and it is precisely because of this that he likes to come to Diao Chan to relax and watch him sing and dance, which can relieve his pressure in the court.

After all, his soul belongs to modern people, and modern people's minds are open. As long as the two love each other, they don't care about the worldly etiquette.

However, as his time in ancient times got longer, his modern sense of superiority became less and less, and some of his behaviors were incompatible with this era. The strict hierarchy of feudal society and secular etiquette were all like Like a big mountain, it weighed heavily on Zhang Yan's body.

Once upon a time, Zhang Yan gathered his confidantes in the tent to discuss about marrying Diao Chan as his concubine, and wanted to give Diao Chan a title.But it was unanimously opposed by everyone. Everyone thought that doing so would damage Zhang Yan's reputation. After all, Diao Chan had served Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu successively, and her background was not good enough to be Zhang Yan's concubine.

Therefore, Zhang Yan had no choice but to give up and kept Diao Chan in this house, acting as his singer.

Diao Chan's words pierced Zhang Yan's heart like a needle, but the secular world of this era is like this, and Diao Chan is also a person of this era, he knows that he can't get any status, so he simply doesn't want anything extravagantly , just serve Zhang Yan wholeheartedly.

From this point of view, Diao Chan is smart, and it is also a wise move for her to choose not to have children.

Zhang Yan didn't say anything else, turned around and left. Before leaving, he said to Diao Chan: "In the future, don't drink medicine casually..."

After saying this, Zhang Yan walked away.Fan Ah also bid farewell to Diao Chan immediately, and left after Zhang Yan.

Diao Chan looked at Zhang Yanyuan's back, and for some reason, felt empty.Although she also likes the feeling of being with Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan is not an ordinary person after all. As she grows older, she yearns to live an ordinary life, find an ordinary man to marry, and live a carefree life. How wonderful it would be to live a carefree life.

Zhang Yan left Diao Chan's mansion. He knew what Diao Chan wanted, which was freedom and the life of ordinary people.

From the moment she got Diao Chan, Diao Chan revealed her thoughts to him, but at that time Zhang Yan was fascinated by beauty, and he didn't want to let Diao Chan go easily, so he brought him back to Pengcheng.

Who knows, until now, Diao Chan's mind is still unchanged, and she still uses this method to fight pregnancy.

Gradually, Zhang Yan seemed to understand that although Diao Chan's body was here, her heart was not.

Originally, Zhang Yan thought that Diao Chan would fall in love with him after such a long time, but he was wrong. Diao Chan, who has experienced so many things, does not love anyone. Perhaps, at the moment when she decided to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, her love The heart is already dead, and now she is just a walking corpse without a heart.

The person who kept her, but couldn't keep her heart, Zhang Yan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, he made a decision, decided to let Diao Chan go, let her return to herself, give her a sum of money, let him live the life that an ordinary person should live, and end this life!

The next day, Zhang Yan sent someone to Diao Chan's mansion, took Diao Chan out, and gave her a large sum of money.

However, Diao Chan refused Zhang Yan's offer of money, and left Pengcheng alone with only some clothes, without escort, and no one knew where she was going.

Zhang Yan did not go to see Diao Chan off, he was afraid that when he saw Diao Chan again, he would not let Diao Chan go so generously, and would become attached to her again.

For a period of time after that, Zhang Yan was sluggish and lacked the energy to do anything. On the third day after Diao Chan left, he regretted letting Diao Chan go.

Jia Xu, the lieutenant of the Sili school, figured out Zhang Yan's heart and knew that Zhang Yan was distressed by Diao Chan's departure. Beautiful.

Therefore, Jia Xu discussed with Zhang Yan's other confidants and decided to choose beauties for Zhang Yan in private.

Of course, this matter was carried out quietly, and Xu Sheng, the commander of Chengmen Xiaowei, General Zhenwei, and Jin Yiwei, was fully responsible. Zhang Yan didn't know the situation at all.

And in order not to cause commotion, this beauty pageant task was also carried out quietly. Jin Yiwei first searched for beauties in the area under Zhang Yan's jurisdiction, and then Jia Xu personally looked at them, first went through layers of screening, and finally sent them to Pengcheng Do a review.Thus, a peerless beauty who is unique in thousands is selected and sent to Zhang Yan's residence.

For half a month, Zhang Yan has been depressed. He also sent Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate Diao Chan's news, but Diao Chan disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.

During Zhang Yan's dreary days, Zhao Yunzheng came to Xuzhou on a boat with a fleet of horses. After Li Cai's recommendation, Mi Zhu, the prefect of Donghai County, took him to the mansion, and then took Zhao Yun all the way to Pengcheng via Mi Zhu.

One day, Zhang Yan was practicing riding and archery on the school grounds, when suddenly a Jinyi guard ran over, and when he saw Zhang Yan, he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Mi Zhu, the prefect of Donghai County, is asking to see you in the general's residence."

Zhang Yan reined in the horse and put down the bow and arrow in his hand. Mi Zhu is his brother-in-law, and he must have something important to come here in person this time, so without saying a word, he immediately galloped out of the school field on the dark cloud riding snow horse, and went straight to the general government.

Back in the General's Mansion, Zhang Yan turned over and jumped off his horse, and went straight to the hall of the mansion, where he saw Mi Zhu and a handsome man sitting there. Surprised: "Isn't this Zhao Yun?"

Zhang Yan quickly walked into the hall of the mansion, when Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun saw it, they immediately stood up and bowed in unison: "See you, General!"

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Zhang Yan looked at Zhao Yun first, and said joyfully, "Isn't this General Zhao? After a year or two, I don't want us to meet again!"

Zhao Yun was surprised and said: "The general manages a lot of things every day, but he still remembers them?"

"What did General Zhao say? How could I not remember General Zhao? By the way, General Zhao, why did you come here with my elder brother?"

Along the way, Zhao Yun had already inquired that Mi Zhu was Zhang Yan's brother-in-law, so he was not surprised to hear Zhang Yan say the word "big brother".

Mi Zhu immediately told the ins and outs of how Zhao Yun came to Tancheng.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he said, "This Li Cai really did a great job for me. When he comes back, he must be rewarded heavily."

After saying this, Zhang Yan turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, "So, General Zhao is willing to submit to my account and serve me?"

Zhao Yun immediately clasped his fists and said, "If General Meng does not give up, Zhao Yun is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse. However, Zhao Yun has a heartless request, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"You say it."

Zhao Yundao: "If the general wants to attack Yuan Shao in the future, no one can kill Yuan Shao except me. I will kill Yuan Shao and avenge General Gongsun!"

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Why is this difficult? I promise you."

"Then I don't have any demands. From then on, I, Zhao Yun, will swear to follow the general around, and I will never depart from him in this life." Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said.

Zhang Yan said happily: "Okay, General Zhao is here to vote, and we have added another tiger general to our army."

Later, Zhang Yan hosted a banquet in honor of Zhao Yun and Mi Zhu. During the meeting, Zhao Yun urged Zhang Yan to ask when he would send troops to attack Yuan Shao. Zhang Yan told Zhao Yun not to worry. When he regained his vitality, he would lead his troops northward and fight Yuan Shao to the death.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan asked the emperor to give Zhao Yun the title of General Huwei. In this way, together with Huya General Zhang Liao, Huyi General Xu Huang, Hulie General Tai Shici, and Huben General Xu Chu, there were exactly five Tigers. The general at the beginning of the word, from then on, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, and Xu Chu were collectively called the Five Tiger Generals in the army.

Zhang Yan asked Zhao Yun to transfer all the guards temporarily led by Sili Xiaowei Jia Xu to Zhao Yun, and made him subordinate to Zhao Yun, and rewarded Zhao Yun with the house where Diao Chan lived.

Zhao Yun was so grateful and loyal to Zhang Yan ever since...
