.Zhang Chi has now become a hero in Shu. Every time he returns to Chengdu, the most enthusiastic people are the people in Chengdu.

Perhaps it was because he was bullied by the Hu people for too long, or because there were no heroes in Shu for too long, Zhang Chi defeated the Hu people in the previous episode, but it really made the people excited for a long time, and until now, this level of excitement has continued to increase.

There are dense rivers in Shu and abundant water volume, so most of the traffic flows are mainly waterways. Moreover, from Shu to the east, there is only the Yangtze River flowing downstream, so the importance of waterways is more obvious.

Mainly based on water, a profession was born. I don’t know how many poor people in Shu have supported, that is, the porter.

These porters carry the goods on the ship off the ship every day, or load the goods on board, and collect a meager reward from it to survive in a barely life.

This job is very tiring, but even such a tiring job is not available every day. When there is no work, these porters squat at the west gate of the city, waiting for someone to rush to see when there is a boat.

Xiaoliu is one of the porters.

He got up a little late today, and probably because there were few boats in the morning, he slept for more hours. Seeing that it was almost noon, he got up lazy and rushed to the west gate of the city.

At this time, there were already many porters at the west gate of the city. One of the middle-aged men saw Xiaoliu coming now and smiled and said, "What? I'm lazy today and don't want to work anymore? You young people are just unsteady in doing things. If you can't get a job late, you will have nothing to do today's supper."

Xiao Liu stretched lazily and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you came early, but what kind of work can you do?"

"It's strange to say that this ghost life in Tainan is so late that there is no ship yet." The man named Wang raised his trouser legs, revealing his tattered straw sandals, and said, "Look, I've been squatting here for more than two hours, and my feet are swollen."

"That's right, it's useless to say you're here too early. It's better for me to sleep two more hours." Xiao Liu teased.

"If we can't get a job, we will all starve to death." The man named Wang sighed and said, "You are so good. You have no parents, wife and children at home. I am different. There are old people and young people, and I am waiting for a bite of steamed bun to help my life."

Xiao Liu also squatted by the city wall, using his shadow to resist the noon's poisonous sun, and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, if there is work, I'll let you first."

"Oh," it's no wonder that Brother Wang sighed and said, "I have a bond with my family. You are young and have no young and single at home. Why not join the army? At least you can have a full meal."

"Brother Wang, you don't know. How can anyone in the world be born without parents, young and old? I actually have family members, but they have died because of the war." Xiao Liu said with a sad expression: "My parents were killed by the Hu people back then, but my elder brother was killed by the soldiers in our Shu."

"How could it be killed by our soldiers in Shu?" Brother Wang was puzzled.

Xiao Liu sighed and said, "I was still young at the time. The Hu people attacked the city, but forced the captured Shu people to call the city gate. The city was the ** from Shu. No matter how blue and red, they could catch a wave of arrows. Fortunately, I was young and short at that time, and I was protected by my elder brother, so I could save my life. But my elder brother pressed on me and got dozens of long arrows. From then on, I was alone."

After hearing Xiaoliu's life experience, Brother Wang sighed.

"It should be to protect the people, but why do we slaughter our own people? How can I join such a army?" Xiao Liu said hatefully.

Brother Wang nodded and then said, "Did you hear about the recent Northern Expedition of the Hu people, Governor Zhang, who is really a good general to save the people. I heard that he is still asking ** to help the people farm and make them have no worries about food and clothing."

As soon as Governor Zhang of the Northern Expedition was mentioned, Xiao Liu immediately swept away his depressed mood just now and said, "Of course I have heard of this person, but the hero in my mind defeated more than 300,000 Hu people with tens of thousands of troops and recovered Hanzhong. If I want to join the army, I will go and join him."

Brother Wang patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder and said, "Hey, why did you want to sleep in today? Just now, I saw Governor Zhang enter the city and walked over this road."

"Really and false? Don't lie to me." Xiao Liu didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. Now Governor Zhang's famous name is unknown to the people in Shu. As soon as they entered the city, they rush to pass on the news. Governor Zhang rode a tall horse with snow-white fur and was so majestic. What is most admirable is that he is so big now, but he is still wearing a blue shirt. Unlike those other people, who else can he be without Governor Zhang?"

Xiao Liuda shouted: "Why didn't you say it earlier! How long has it been since Governor Zhang?"

"After a while, he just left when you first came."

Xiao Liu didn't even have time to answer, so he stood up and chased forward. He chased him for two streets in a row, but where could he see a figure? He returned in a bad mood.

Of course, I can't catch up. At this time, Zhang Chi had already arrived at the mansion of Luo An, the Duwei of the Shuzhong Cao.

Luo An still smiled at him with a sign of smile, and said far away: "Why did the governor suddenly turn back to Chengdu? The official is in a position to welcome him, and I hope he will forgive me."

Usually, Luo An is quite upright, but Zhang Chi is not vague about the issues involved this time. Although he doesn’t know why Shuzhong didn’t send food and grass for a long time, he might as well test it. Therefore, Zhang Chi snorted coldly and said, “I’m not going back to Chengdu because of Lord Luo!”

Luo An was stunned, obviously not sure, and asked, "For me? The governor might as well say it clearly."

"I am the general in charge of the army to go out to fight against the Hu people in the north, but why is the food and grass not too late? It has led to my army being trapped in Lueyang. As the commander of the Diancao, you are the food and grass being allocated by you. I wonder what sir has to say?"

Luo An was shocked and said, "I had already allocated the food and grass and ordered someone to escort it. Why haven't I arrived at the governor's tent yet?"

Zhang Chi looked at Luo An carefully, and it didn't seem like a lie. He shook his head. Luo An quickly pulled Zhang Chi's hand and said, "There are so many people at the door, so why not the governor will follow me indoors and make plans."

Luo An said that he had already distributed food and grass, but why didn't Zhang Chi receive it? After entering the room, Luo An pondered for a long time, and finally said: "How dare the subordinates be negligent in the general's northern expedition? The subordinates have indeed been allocated. If the subordinates' opinions have not arrived yet, someone may have robbed the food and grass in the middle of the journey."

This is not impossible, Zhang Chi nodded: "There are many bandits in Shu, which is inevitable. But there are people escorting the food and grass, so who can have such a great force to rob the food and grass?"

"I'm afraid it may not be the cause of the bandits," said Luo An.

"What do you mean by sir?" Zhang Chi asked.

"If the bandits do it, I'm afraid that some people have ulterior motives and intentionally arranged it, then..." Luo An stopped talking and thought about it before saying: "The way to transport food and grass is some of the way to Yizhou to deliver it to the Prince's Account."

Although Luo An didn't say it clearly, he couldn't understand his meaning very well.

"What do you mean by the governor of Yizhou?" Zhang Chi asked in a deep thought.

"The governor doesn't know that since the governor recovered Hanzhong and did not often travel to Chengdu, the governor of Yizhou has been very close to Huan Heng of the Huan family. The Huan family has had a plan to go deep into Shuzhong, and I'm afraid this time it has been arranged."

When Luo An said this, Zhang Chi was also shocked.

If this is true, the logical relationship between the front and back will be straightened out. Huan Heng, the Huan clan, colluded with the governor of Yizhou, robbed food and grass halfway, while his army had no food and was besieged by the Hu people. Huan Qian, the Huan clan, also seized Liangzhou and shut down his retreat. It seemed that everything was reasonable.

"Where is the governor of Yizhou now?"

Luo An said: "Since the execution of the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Yizhou has annexed the territory of Liangzhou south of Bashan. As soon as the governor returned to Hanzhong, he also returned to many matters in Yizhou Shu, but now he is not in Chengdu."

Zhang Chi stood up and was about to walk out, but in fact he wanted to find out the truth.

"Governor, wait." Luo An quickly grabbed Zhang Chi and said, "If the governor of Yizhou had already made plans, there might be some next moves. Besides, it is your and I guess now, and there is no certificate. If the governor makes any moves, it will inevitably be alarmed. If the governor colluded with the Huan family to launch troops in advance, it would not be great."

Zhang Chi thought about it and asked, "What should I do if Lord Yiluo?"

Luo An said, "It is better for the governor to remain silent for the time being. When I report to the King of Chengdu, the day will be the day for Chengdu to sacrifice to heaven in a few days. At that time, all officials will gather, and we will also summon the governor of Yizhou to return to Chengdu. When it comes to sacrifice to heaven, we will confront each other in front of it. If the governor of Yizhou really says, it is impossible to capture and kill in person."

Zhang Chi nodded at this time. It was indeed a clever plan.

"It's just that the governor is wronged and stays in Chengdu for a few more days, and then make a decision when sacrifice to heaven. Don't act rashly and alert the snake."

After discussion, Zhang Chi left Luo'an's Mansion.

Daoxuan followed Zhang Chi and asked, "Brother Zhang, in your opinion, how credible is what Luo An said today?"

"I don't know either," Zhang Chi said, according to fact: "But I don't think his expression looks like a lie. I'm afraid the governor of Yizhou is really a trick."

"I just got rid of the governor of Liangzhou, but now the governor of Yizhou appears. He secretly made people feel bad, which really made people feel bored." Dao Xuan said.

"Don't worry about so much," said Zhang Chi: "If the soldiers come and generals come to block the water and escape from the earth, will the governor of Yizhou interfere? When they meet the governor of Yizhou and confront Luo'an, the truth should be revealed."

Zhang Chi was still talking, but Daoxuan, Dark Blade and Hamster beside him shouted in unison: "Be careful!"
