Chapter 64 Tao Qian's Secret Hands
Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and the new chapter has arrived! Looking up at the votes in everyone's hands. Haha!
If everyone has no objection, they will write it in the third person in the future!
Hua Wei looked at Sun Ce with surprise and said, "Young Master, you have seen this person. That day, the man who stood in front of our carriage to resist the riots, and the man with a big knife was him. How do you know him?"
Sun Ce recalled and thought to himself: "A very ordinary person! He is taller and looks like a bitter face. However, his swordsmanship seems to be pretty good. He doesn't look so outstanding. I thought he was just a general with better martial arts skills at the time?"
He quickly denied, "I don't know you, I don't know you. But Xiaowei! I think he has some skills, only being a family manager guarding the house, some of which have buried talents. You give him to me and let him be my military training captain!"
Hua Wei raised her nose and said, "Young Master, please tell him to go there! I am not familiar with him, and it is also his blessing for the young master to promote him.
He is also a pitiful person! When we met him, he was fighting with a group of thieves and was seriously injured, looking bloody all over. I saw that he couldn't support himself, so I asked Mr. Lu to send someone to save him.
I just helped him with the wound. But later I heard that his family was killed by the thieves that day, and the family generals helped him to bury them together.
He was so injured that he could hardly move. Later, Xiaowei cured his injury and he followed us. Along the way, Mr. Lu Fan was explaining to him, but I didn't say a few words to him."
Sun Ce smiled and said, "I didn't blame you, Xiaowei, you did it too well! You girl, are you busy trying to distinguish what you are!"
Suddenly he reacted: "Hmm? You said Lu Fan? Ziheng? Why did he come back? Why didn't I see him just now! What happened to Jiangdu? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
When Hua Wei saw Sun Ce anxious, she hurriedly comforted her: "Young master, don't be anxious! It's okay now. Didn't we just come back and you were knocked out?
They have waited until now to talk to you! They either don’t want you to know and worry, or they just don’t have time to tell you about this. Mr. Lu Fan said that this time was mainly done by Tao Qian instructed Jiang Duling behind his back."
Sun Ce said hatefully: "It's Tao Qian again, he doesn't care about my father's old love. I want him to look good sooner or later."
Hua Wei patted Sun Ce's back of his hand and continued, "After we arrived in Jiangdu, I will accompany the old lady at home. Mr. Lu Fan took two of his entourages and went out every day to visit all the famous scholars and wealthy families near Jiangdu.
Through Mr. Zhang Hong's recommendation, he made friends with famous scholars such as Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng, Qin Song in Guangling, and Chen Duan. He drank and had fun with them all day long, and was very comfortable. However, that day, he never came back after going out to visit Mr. Zhang Zhao.
It was not until the evening that one of his entourage fled back to report the news. It was said that Jiang Duling suddenly sent officers and soldiers to surround Mr. Zhang Zhao's home and arrested Zhang Zhao's family and Mr. Lu Fan in prison and locked up.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, this servant hid in the woodshed in Mr. Zhang Zhao's backyard, and finally escaped and returned home to report the news.
Later we went to Jiangdu Mansion to inquire. It turned out that the reason was that Tao Qian wanted to recruit Mr. Zhang Zhao to work for Xuzhou, but Mr. Zhang said twice that he was sick and refused. Tao Qian was very angry when he heard this.
Someone happened to report that Mr. Lu Fan was in Jiangdu and was having fun with Mr. Zhang Zhao all day long. Tao Qian ordered Jiangdu to send someone to arrest the two gentlemen. He said that they were spies, intending to steal Xuzhou intelligence and plot against him.
At that time, Jiang Qin and General Zu Mao were going to take people to Jiang Duling to ask Mr. Jiang Duling to return. He said that if he didn't give him, he would gather people to rob him. Anyway, he could not let Mr. Lu Fan and others be harmed by Jiang Duling for nothing.
However, the old lady stopped them. After all, we still have so many families in Jiangdu. The old lady sent someone to invite Mr. Zhang Hong to ask him to help us advise.
Mr. Zhang Hong said, "We want us to rest assured. He had discussed with Mr. Lu Fan before he went to Jiangdu, and told them to be on guard against Tao Qian." He also praised Mr. Lu Fan for his long-term vision and accurate view of others.
So they made some preparations in advance, so he asked us to pack up our things immediately and ask the two generals to escort out of the city to Danyang and his uncle, Lord Wu. We packed up our things overnight and set off early the next morning.
Later, when I heard back, Mr. Lu Fan's generals said that it was on the night of the third day after we left Jiangdu. Because we received news that Jiangdu ordered to kill Mr. Lu Fan on the next day for spies.
Under General Zumao, they suddenly attacked the Jiangdu Prison. They fought a war with the guards, and both sides suffered casualties. Fortunately, they rescued Mr. Lu Fan.
But before, they had severely punished Mr. Lu Fan and had severe injuries. Several bones were broken. I helped him use his father's bone granule, but it would take at least three months to recover. When they asked the guards in the prison, they learned that Jiang Duling had secretly taken Mr. Zhang Zhao's family to Xuzhou two days ago.
Therefore, they failed to rescue Mr. Zhang Zhao. They could only ask Mr. Zhang Hong to find someone else to find a way. Listen to General Zu Mao’s return, Mr. Zhang Hong would invite his fellow countrymen and friends, Guangling Prefect Zhao Yu, to rescue Mr. Zhang Zhao.”
After hearing this, Sun Ce felt relieved. He had known that Tao Qian was an ungrateful guy. However, he did not expect that he would be so quick to break his face and attack his family.
Finally, he didn't have time to kill himself, otherwise, even if the women and children at home were fine, these guards would probably suffer all this time.
Lu Fan is still very conscientious. He hardly misses any opportunity and works hard to expand the power of the Jiangdong Army and future development. Such a person must be used well, and he is a great help to him now.
As for Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce was not very worried. Because he knew that Zhang Zhao would serve as one of the main strategists of the Eastern Wu in the future and would be a great minister for entrusting the orphanage this time, he would definitely be in danger.
Huawei continued: "Later, Mr. Lu Fan said he wanted to go back to the young master to recover from his injuries. The old lady said that the young master might need my care, so she asked me to come back with Mr. Lu Fan.
Because the Xu and Yang area was relatively peaceful, and we didn’t hear of any rioters and bandits, we only brought the remaining generals of Mr. Lu Fan back together.
Jiang Qin and General Zu Mao sent the old lady, the younger brothers and sisters to Danyang.
Not long after we separated from the old lady, we picked up the injured Gao Shun on the way. Fortunately, he was there, otherwise we wouldn't be able to wait for the young master to come and save him this time. Unexpectedly, it's not peaceful in Yangzhou now."
Sun Ce sighed and said, "This world is afraid it will become more and more chaotic. This troubled world has just begun!"
At this time, loud training slogans and neat military singing came from outside the tent.
It was dawn. I haven't heard these familiar sounds for a few days. It sounded like today's very loud and powerful.
Chapter completed!
