Chapter 1269 The Son of the Thousand Gold (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce said goodbye to Yan Yan and walked to the workshop official. The workshop is now strictly protected, with Yuan Shu's old subordinates such as Chang Nu and Chen Lan. There are a total of 4,000 divisions, taking turns to serve, and the safety is guaranteed. Therefore, Sun Ce only brought Guo Wu, Xu Sheng and others with their personal guards. As the New Year is approaching, these personal guards are also busy preparing to buy New Year's goods. Those who are close to their homes can go home for the New Year, and those who are far away can also send New Year's goods back through post offices so that their families can share their happiness.

Wen Chou is far away from home, and Jizhou is still in Yuan Shao's hands. He doesn't even dare to contact his family, so as not to leak news and implicate his family. Compared with his cheerful colleagues, he is a little depressed.

After letting Zhuge Liang go once, Sun Ce was in a good mood. Seeing Wen Chou looked bitter, he couldn't help but tease, "Why, can't bear to leave me?"

Wen Chouqiang laughed twice and slashed his mouth twice. It was temporary that he was a guard knight beside Sun Ce. After the New Year, he would rush to Jingzhou to serve as Zhou Yu's personal guard cavalry general. If it weren't for Shen Youjiang's battle with Yuan Xi, the personal guard cavalry would not be Chen Dao, but him. He was very grateful for Sun Ce's trust, but he was not happy now.

"Do you miss your family?"

Wen Chou hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. "Yes."

"Do you have many family members? If there are not many people, I can find a way to pick them up. If there are too many people, I can only quietly vent my anger. Look at who is tight and will not leak news. Then write a letter, I will send someone to send it and give some gifts. It is probably too late before the New Year, and there should be no problem before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Wen Chou looked at Sun Ce in surprise, his voice trembling. "Thank you, General. My father has passed away for many years, and there are only old mother, wife and children in the family, a total of seven. Life is not a problem. The clan can take care of it, but I haven't returned for a long time, so they will worry."

"Okay, then I'll send someone to contact them. You can prepare a handwritten letter and hand it over to me as soon as possible. Since there is a clan, it's not advisable to take them all over. How about your wife? Take her over and tell the public that she has remarried, which should be able to hide her."

Wen Chou agreed repeatedly, and was so happy that he was at a loss. Liu Hu and Chen Wu couldn't help but tease Wen Chou, but Wen Chou didn't care. He muttered and prepared to start a letter. After he was captured, he was worried that he would implicate the clan and never contact his family. Now he suddenly had the opportunity to write a letter, and he had too many words to say, but he didn't know what to say.

Several people were joking all the way to the official party at the entrance of the workshop. Wen Chou suddenly grabbed Sun Ce and pointed to the carriage at the entrance of the official party. "General, that is the family emblem of Geng, Julu."

Sun Ce looked up and saw a small banner on the carriage, with a circular pattern in the center. It was indeed the first time he saw it. The horse pulling the carriage was covered in dust, and the people standing next to the carriage were also wearing thick felt scarves, which was not as dressed as people from the Central Plains.

"You can avoid it for a while, it's not good to be recognized." Sun Ce said to Liu Hu and others again: "Put your mouth tighter and don't talk nonsense."

"Hey." Liu Hu and others agreed in unison. No matter how joking he was, his colleagues who had been with him day and night still had this kind of loyalty. Wen Chou quietly left the team and went back to the camp first.

Sun Ce went up the steps. Before he entered the door, he saw the Cun standing in the front courtyard pressing the sword, pointing and shouting: "Turn them all out. A shameless thing, I have the nerve to come and plead for mercy. Let Yuan Shao come and do it himself, and let me chop his bird head first and pay tribute to the general."

In front of the slave, there was a middle-aged man with three long beards and straight facial features, but his eyes were slightly slender, making people look a little flattering. He laughed and bowed his hands repeatedly, and his voice was very loud. "The love between father and son, the righteousness of brothers, was born from blood, and it was impossible to violate it. Although the leader of the alliance had differences with General Yuan, he was of the same lineage as the Yuan family. Now that the father and son are separated, he asked his wife to open the door for the sake of the Communist ancestor..."

"Who is this?" Sun Ce stepped forward and asked. Seeing this, Chuangnu hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "General, don't pay attention to him, the mad dogs from Hebei." He said while shouting: "Come here, drive these mad dogs out of the workshop. They will not be allowed to approach their wife a hundred steps in the future. They will be beaten once they see each other."

The middle-aged man was very agile and rushed to Sun Ce in a flash. "General Sun? Geng Bao, the governor of Jizhou, was ordered by Yuan Envoy Yuan to negotiate with the general for asking Yuan Xiansi to return. Everything is easy to discuss. Please ask the general to envoy all the king and father and son."

Qian Nu was furious, pulled out his battle knife and chopped down at Geng Bao. At this time, Yuan Quan appeared at the middle gate and ordered Qian Nu to stop.

"How dare you draw your sword in front of the general?"

Although Yuan Quan's voice was not loud, it was very useful. The slave of Chang put away his knife in disappointment and bowed to Sun Ce.

"I was angry and rude for a moment. Please punish me."

Sun Ce waved his hand and said nothing. Qian Nu was the slave of Yuan Shu's family and was loyal to Yuan Shu. He only recognized Yuan Quan's sister and brother in his eyes. He always believed that Yuan Shao was the culprit of Yuan Shu's early death and had no good impression. He drew his sword today and was suspected of colluding with him. He would inevitably be punished by Yuan Quan, so he didn't have to worry about this.

"From what you mean, Yuan Shao wants to pick Yuan Tan back?"

"Yes, yes, father and son's love..."

Sun Ce raised his hand and told Geng Bao not to talk nonsense. Even if he did not understand power and strategy, he knew the twists and turns in it. Loyalty might as well be filial, and etiquette would not be contrary to feelings. Yuan Tan is a prisoner of war, and it is natural for Yuan Shao to redeem him. Since he did not kill Yuan Tan directly at that time, he could not stop Yuan Shao from redeeming him now, otherwise it would be against human nature and etiquette. No one would remember that Yuan Shao had delayed more than half a year to redeem, and no one would know that Yuan Shao had only redeemed a few days before the New Year, and only remembered that he was not.

"Understand, understand, Yuan Tan is his eldest son and heir, and he can't be a prisoner here all the time."

Geng Bao looked a little embarrassed, but he was not easy to refute, so he had to respond vaguely. Sun Ce said as he entered the atrium and came to the hall. Yuan Quan did not welcome Geng Bao, but he could not be rude in front of Sun Ce, so he made him laugh at him, so he immediately sent someone to prepare tea and food. Sun Ce asked Geng Bao to take his seat and politely said a few more words. Geng Bao took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

"Envoy Yuan is sincere in this book, so please read it all."

Sun Ce glanced at him. "I'm not interested in watching him nagging, I'm just concerned about one thing. How much ransom is Yuan Benchu ​​going to pay?"

"Uh... Please give me a offer. As long as I can save Yuan Xiansi, I will spare no expense."

"Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, the heir to Yuan Cheng's lineage, and Li Ying's grandson. He has a noble status and is a veritable son of a daughter. Let's do this, one price, one thousand gold, one hand, and one hand."

Geng Bao was startled and said anxiously: "A thousand gold? General Sun, are you kidding?"

"Is it cheap?" Sun Ce scratched his head, stretched out his two fingers, hesitated for a while, and added another one. "Then... three thousand?"
