Chapter 402 The Hole Card Revealed ([-])

Sima Yi confessed to Gan Ning that his name was not Ma Yuan.

Gan Ning was stunned, and then waved his hands casually: "Hey, what the hell is I thinking! It turned out to be a name, what is your name, cat or dog? What can you do, you are not my brother, you entered as a prisoner at the beginning. Under Lao Tzu's command, it is normal to give a pseudonym!"

Sima Yi said gratefully, "Thank you, brother, for your understanding."

Gan Ning waved his hand: "Tell me, what's your real name?"

"Actually, my name is Sima Yi, and my name is Zhongda."

Gan Ning nodded, and said, "Ah, Sima Yi, okay, I'll remember it, it's no big deal, it's not as nice as your original name...wait a minute!"

Gan Ning suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened, and he stared at Sima Yi carefully: "What did you say is your name?"

"Sima Yi, courtesy name Zhongda."

Gan Ning's face turned slightly pale: "Sima Yi, if I remember correctly, there is a capable person in Hebei who is Yuan Shang's greatest help after inheriting Yuan Shao's foundation, also called Sima Yi..."

Sima Yi nodded: "That's me, I'm him..."

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes: "What proof do you have?"

"Although I don't have a certificate, there is no need to tell such a deadly lie. I only rely on my sincerity. It's up to you to believe it or not."

"........."

In the room, there was such a quiet silence for a long while.

But I saw Gan Ning slumped down on the soft couch on the ground.

"Ma Yuan... oh, no... now I should call you Sima Yi... Sima Yi, Sima Yi, you have completely fooled me, you are really playing like a dog!"

Sima Yi stared at Gan Ning firmly: "My little brother dare not... Big brother, do you believe what I say?"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Trust me!"

"Then... what are you going to do now?"

"How to do it?"

When the words fell, Gan Ning suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, and placed it horizontally on Sima Yi's neck. The cold air traveled along the blade to the skin on Sima Yi's neck, as if it could freeze human blood.

"I handed your head to Liu Bei, what position do you think Liu Bei will give me?"

Sima Yi looked at Gan Ning quietly.

"My life was saved by my elder brother. If my elder brother buys my future with my head, my younger brother will die without complaint."

Gan Ning just stared at Sima Yi's eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he looked hard, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, or he wanted to see through his heart.

But Sima Yi's eyes were too deep, the ancient well was calm, not even the slightest ripple.

It was so quiet for a while.

Gan Ning finally put down the knife.

"You go, I have killed countless people, but I have never killed my brothers."

Sima Yi smiled: "Brother, where do you want me to go?"

"Where did you come from, where do you go back! Go back to your Hebei Province and become an official. I wish you a smooth future and leave your name in history."

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Hebei, I will definitely go back, but I will never go back by myself."

Gan Ning looked up at him indifferently: "What do you mean?"

"My brother wants to ask my elder brother to come with me."

"Ha ha……"

Gan Ning smiled helplessly: "You are Yuan Shang's staff, you are highly valued, what is I, I am just a gangster in Biannan, I will go back with you, Yuan Shang can use me? Will he look down on such a thief like me?"

Just as Gan Ning finished speaking, a faint voice came from the hidden shelter behind Sima Yi's room.

"Of course I look up to it, I look up to it, and I will respect and praise it."

Gan Ning turned around abruptly, only to see a handsome young man slowly coming out of the shadows, beside him were Guo Dayong and Sun Erhu who led the crowd to join him some time ago.

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes: "You are one of the envoys from Jingzhou...how come you are here?"

Sima Yi stepped forward: "I invited him here."

"What?" Gan Ning suddenly turned his head: "You are crazy, he is from Jingzhou! He is here, your identity is exposed, you don't have to die..."

Yuan Shang shook his head: "He won't die, and he will return to Jingzhou with me safely. Besides, Brother Gan, you were wrong just now. I am not from Jingzhou. I am from Hebei just like Sima Yi...or In other words, I am the master of Hebei."

"Master of Hebei?" Gan Ning was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Yuan Shang in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Sima Yi.

"You two are lunatics! Crazies!... You are all fucking crazy!"

Sima Yi sighed, "When I first saw him, my younger brother also thought he was crazy."

Yuan Shang waved his hands and said: "Zhongda, Guo Huai, Sun Li, you three go out first and check the door for me. I have a few words and I want to speak to Brother Gan alone."

Guo Huai and Sun Li seemed to be a little hesitant, but Sima Yi nodded without saying a word, "No... Guo Huai, Sun Li, follow me out. My elder brother is a righteous man, and my lord is fine with him."

Guo and Sun looked at each other, then followed Sima Yi out of the room.

Gan Ning stared at the three of them as they left the room.

"Those two were also sent by you?"

Yuan Shang smiled, and casually found a soft couch to sit down on.

"That's right, they are my generals from Hebei, who protected me from coming to Jiangxia, and those 500 people are also the elite of our army."

Gan Ning grinned: "You're crazy! Don't you know who you are? How dare you come here and mess around!"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Do you really believe that I am Yuan Shang?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "I have no reason to believe it, but I can only believe what my brother said!"

Yuan Shang sighed and said, "You take Sima Yi...as a brother?"

Gan Ning nodded, "Yes!"

"So you believe everything he said for no reason, even if it's all crazy?"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yuan Shang smiled: "Well, I'll tell you, Brother Gan, that you are not the only one who takes that bastard as a brother, and I am the same. He has recognized you as a brother for almost seven months, but the brotherhood of the two of us However, it has been more than seven years! You believed in these absurd things that were impossible to happen because of your brother, but I took risks that were impossible for a master because of my brother."

After all, Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This kind of friendship, other people don't understand, but I think you should understand it very well."

Gan Jing looked at Yuan Shang quietly, as if he didn't know what to say. When he was young, he saw Yuan Shang put the sword in his hand on the table and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Everyone says Yuan Shang is deceitful, even more so than Cao Cao, but seeing him today, it seems to be different from the rumors."

Yuan Shang shook his head and smiled: "What the world says is true, but it is for survival, there is no way, but if a person completely abandons friendship for the sake of survival, then he is not a human being."

Gan Ning raised his head and said, "It's not a person, what is it?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly: "It's a monster."

Gan Ning: "..."

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Actually, logically speaking, after I have Sima Yi's whereabouts, I should have left a long time ago, but I haven't left yet, because you must know who."

Gan Ning's expression was serious: "Yuan Weiwei, I'm just a water thief. You are from a famous family. The gap between the two is too far. You don't need to do so much for me."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "It's up to you whether it's necessary or not, it's up to me... In my opinion, thieves are sometimes more worthy of fellowship than those scholars, rich families, meritorious dignitaries! You know the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan? Back then The two of us in Hebei are feuds. When we met on the battlefield, we wished we could skin each other. It wasn't until we both fell into trouble and were trapped in a mountain abyss to face the wolves together that I felt, The friendship between people can really dissolve everything and heal everything sometimes, although this should not be said by one overlord, but I have no choice but to say it, because I have indeed felt it before."

Gan Jing was silent for a while, and said: "If you are really Yuan Shang, then I will believe what you say. A son of a thousand gold is not worth living, but you are willing to take risks for your own brother. With this friendship alone, I will treat you with respect. No matter how others look at it, in my opinion, you are stronger than Liu Bei and Sun Quan!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "In that case, brother Gan, follow me back to Hebei."

Gan Ning sighed, "Boats from south to horses from north, I'm a water bandit, what's the use of going back with you?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Because of this, I think you should go back with me. Liu Bei and Sun Quan have no shortage of navy generals, but I have no capable men in this field. The world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be united for a long time. If I, Yuan Shang, wiped out the princes and ruled the world, then I must have a strong navy to fight against Sun Liu. Brother Gan, if you go to Soochow and Jingzhou, you will be no more than a general at most, but if you go to Hebei with me, you It is Yuan Shang's naval commander! At that time, all the water departments I have established will be handed over to you to command. Do you understand the meaning of this?"

Gan Jing looked at Yuan Shang quietly: "With such a heavy responsibility, you can trust me? I'm Jiang Xia's traitor general, maybe I will betray you someday!"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Just now when Sima Yi confessed to you..."

"What?" Gan Ning was stunned.

"I mean, when Sima Yi confessed to you just now, you didn't use his head to claim credit, but promised to let him live. Based on this alone, I absolutely believe you! And I firmly believe it."

Gan Ning had always had a tough look, until this time finally slowed down.

"Yuan Gong, I ask you, if I wanted to kill Sima Yi just now, what would you do?"

"Make a quick decision, I will join forces with Guo Huai and Sun Li, and try my best to kill you and save him here!"

Gan Ning said: "But in this way, your identity will be exposed!"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "There's nothing you can do about it, just take it as what you deserve."

"Sima Yi arranged for you to eavesdrop on our conversation here?"

Yuan Shang nodded: "Yes, but he didn't know that Guo Huai and Sun Li were there!"

"it is good!"

When the words fell, Gan Ning stood up suddenly, bowed his hands and said: "Since Mr. Yuan is so honest with me, I have nothing to say. From now on, as long as you give an order, Mr. Yuan, I will serve you like a dog and a horse." For your hard work, I will die!"

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Thank you, so we can leave the stronghold tomorrow and return to Hebei. However, when Liu Bei and Sun Quan recruited Brother Gan, they each promised 100 million yuan. Yuan's territory is larger than theirs. They also have more soldiers and horses than them, so naturally we can’t be at a disadvantage, Brother Gan votes for me, I will give 300 million yuan as a gift to Brother Gan, just to show my sincerity!”

Gan Ning's face turned red when he heard the words: "Mr. Yuan is being polite, 300 million is a bit more..."

"Not much, and it didn't come out of my pocket anyway."

Gan Ning was taken aback when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

"Liu Bei promised 100 million to Brother Gan, Sun Quan promised 100 million to Brother Gan, and the 100 million that Liu Bei owed me. I will try my best to meet these three sums one after another on the way back to Hebei, and give them all to Brother Gan at that time." , Never break your word!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the words.

Yuan Shang talked endlessly.

"In addition, Huang Zu, who treated the general so poorly, and Yuan will also help Brother Gan clean up together on the way back to the north. It is a bit of a gesture of gratitude, and please don't refuse, Brother Gan, you must accept this dog's head. "
