I looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "What? Zhang Yang, you want to leave this place? " Zhang Yang cupped his hands and bowed: "Yes! "My lord, I wish to leave this place for the time being. I looked at him with some reluctance. I stood up and bowed. "General Zhang can still continue to serve in our army. Why are you leaving so early? Did Chang Le do something wrong? "
"No!" "No!" Zhang Yang immediately replied, "This general's injuries are frequently on my body, I am afraid I can't help Master anymore. Furthermore, I thank Master for taking care of this matter, I am extremely grateful, and only want to find a place to recuperate. If I can fully recover, I will definitely serve Master!" Since Zhang Yang had already said that, then I will not force him and said: "Alright! General Zhang, when you return, our army will welcome you! I wonder where General Zhang wishes to go? "
Zhang Yang replied: "Master, I just want to make a trip back to my hometown in the Wangzhou Region. If I am on the way, I can hopefully meet up with friends. "I want to take care of the matters of my family, and concentrate on working for my lord in the future, so that I can restore the glory to my family!" I nodded. "All right," I said. Young uncle, I will prepare all the travel fees for you! And I will send a few of my most skilled warriors to go with you so that they can protect you! Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Master! "I shall take my leave!" "Ugh!" I nodded.
A few days later, while I was sipping my tea, a guard came running in, flustered. "What's the matter?" I asked. Look at your flustered expression? Could it be that Liu Biao attacked me? " The guard shook his head. "No! No! Master, we found a corpse at the bottom of the cliff and there were several corpses at the top of the cliff.
"What!" I stood up in shock and my heart tightened. A bad premonition struck me as I urgently asked the guard, "What? There was a corpse on the cliff? There were corpses at the bottom of the cliff? Whose are the bodies? What exactly is going on? "
The guard replied, "Master, the corpse at the bottom of the cliff belongs to General Zhang Yang! What was strange was that neither their trap nor their valuables had been stolen! It is obviously not the work of a bandit, I wonder who was the one who wanted to kill General Zhang Yang! " When I heard that, I felt that it was extremely strange. I thought to myself, Why would someone want to kill General Zhang Yang? Last time, Shi Huan and Guan Wei's guards wanted to kill Zhang Yang, he was a benevolent person who did not have any power or authority. This subordinate had wronged him, but he only cried at his subordinates and did not punish him, such a person would not pose much of a threat in this chaotic world! And he didn't have many enemies! Although he had once held the position of a Great Sima official, he wouldn't make too many enemies! How could this be? Is there a secret in it? "
I wanted to confirm that Zhang Yang was really dead so I said to the guards: "Let's go! I want to take a look! " The guard went with me. After returning, although I have some doubts about what the Military Physician confirmed, I can't find a way to resolve them either. I can only accept the fact that Zhang Yang is dead! I will make sure to properly support Zhang Yang's family, to comfort his spirit in heaven!
On the other hand, Zhang Tie was casually strolling on the streets. In fact, he was a little depressed in his heart, because he saw that his three brothers had all gotten people they liked, forming a pair. Now that he was the only one left, how could he not be depressed?
In front of Zhang Tie, a slim lady was walking, the servant beside her said: "Miss, Master wants you to go back quickly! It won't be long before we pack up and go to Yangzhou! Furthermore, the old master said that an important guest had arrived! Please go back as soon as possible! " The woman replied, "That's enough! Alright! I will return as soon as possible! "
"Aiya!" The girl touched her side and realized that she was missing. She cried out, "Aiya! My jade pendant is missing! I want to look for it! " The servant was shocked, "Where did it fall from? He should still be able to find it! It was a good thing that the Jiao Prefecture governed the area well, there were no incidents of theft or robbery, anything that fell off should be found by looking for it carefully. If they could not find it, they might be able to claim it in front of the yamen authorities on the next day! Miss, you don't have to worry! "
Zhang Tie, who was at the back, coincidentally found Pei Yu. It was no wonder that Pei Yu dropped something when her belt was broken. Zhang Tie chased right after the lady and shouted: "Miss in front, your things have fallen! The item dropped! "
The lady turned around and smiled at Tie Xiaoru. Then, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, young master!" When Tie Zheng saw the girl's appearance, he was stunned. Because the girl's appearance was similar to Xiang Er's, it was just that she was more beautiful than Xiang Er. He held the jade pendant in his hand and stared at her.
The woman smiled again and asked softly, "Young Master, what's wrong?" The woman was also shocked when she saw Tie Ta's appearance. It was obvious that she knew who Tie Ta was. The servant looked at them in puzzlement.
Tie Zheng suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Miss, this is what you dropped!" The woman took it, looked at the jade pendant, and then looked at the iron. She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you! "General Zhang!" "Ahhh!" Tie Zheng's mouth was agape as he looked at the girl. He pointed his left index finger at himself and said, "You know me?" The woman pursed her lips and laughed, "That's right! The General Zhang was famous throughout the Jiao Prefecture, how could she not recognize him? I saw the general riding on a big horse on his triumphant return when I was with my father on the street! "
The servant saw that the person in front of him was an influential figure in the Jiao Prefecture. As a habit, he stepped forward to pay his respects with a fawning look and said: "General Zhang, thank you for retrieving the jade pendant for my Young Miss! "We are the Xu family, not too far away!" Xu family? Master Xu Bei's Xu Residence? " The servant smiled: "That's right! "That's right!"
Miss Xu was bashfully beside him, not knowing what to say. This was because her family had already been informed by him. Tie Ta smiled and said, "The Xu Family is a famous family! I really never would have thought that I would be able to meet the daughter of the Master Xu! " As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at Miss Xu. He could not help but sigh, because Miss Xu really looked similar to Xiang Er.
Miss Xu asked, "I wonder what the general is sighing about?" Tie Ta bitterly smiled and said, "Ai!" I don't know why I thought of her! " Tie Ta's face revealed a bitter yet sweet expression. Looking at the iron face, Miss Xu could already guess what was going on. She lightly parted her red lips and said, "General, you are a loyal and devoted general!" It's hard to see in this world! " As Miss Xu said this, her face reddened, and she covered her burning face in embarrassment.
These words were like sharp knives stabbing into the heart of iron. The iron mask on his face was filled with sadness as he said sorrowfully, "Am I a devoted person? He was just a fool who only knew how to cherish when he lost a precious opportunity! Sigh! Xiang Er... " Miss Xu looked at Tie Ta with her phoenix eyes. From Tie Ta's expression and tone, she could guess that his heart contained many untold sorrows. And the love she had heard about iron had made her interested in it. But she could not help but feel guilty about the grief she had caused in her heart.
At his side, the servant said: "Miss, we have to go back quickly! Otherwise, the old master would have to wait anxiously for you! " Hearing that, Tie Rukuang cupped his fists and said, "If Miss has urgent matters, I won't disturb you!" "I'll be leaving first!" "Ahhh!" When Miss Xu heard Tie Ta's words, a trace of reluctance appeared in her eyes. The servant quickly smiled and said: "General Zhang, I am really sorry! I will definitely report it to the old master and have the old master thank you! "
Tie Ta waved his hand and said, "No need! No need! I'll be taking my leave! " After saying that, Tie Ta left. While walking, he felt that this Miss Xu, in truth, was indeed much more beautiful than Xiang Er. Her temperament was also better than Xiang Er's, and her figure was also better than Xiang Er's.
Miss Xu looked at Tie's burly figure, the emotions unavoidably appearing in her eyes.
Miss Xu and the servant returned to the residence. As Miss Xu headed straight for the living room, a melodious voice first sounded out, "Father! I'm back! "
Miss Xu's voice caught the attention of the burly man sitting on the chair sipping tea. The man couldn't help but focus his attention on Miss Xu. As soon as Miss Xu stepped into the living room, a bright light shone, lighting up the room. The big man's eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. He wanted to swallow something bright in one gulp.
When Xu Bei saw the man's mouth turn into a crescent of greed, she couldn't help but laugh with pride. She knew that if she could get close to someone powerful, she would be of great help to him in the future! Therefore, he was definitely not going to let go of this opportunity to befriend someone with power, regardless of who it was! As a merchant, he had always been an astute person. So Xu Bei let the big guy enjoy himself a few more times before saying, "My daughter! Come and greet this esteemed guest! He is Yangzhou Lord Sun Jian's three grandsons! "The current general, Dan Yang, is too loyal to his post. His martial arts skills are well-known throughout Yangzhou!
Sun Jian's third son, Sun Yi? Why would Sun Jian send his son to the Jiao Prefecture? What was the point?
