The Weather Changes

Chapter 73: Calm the chaos

Views:

Just as we were staring at each other in surprise, and my sister-in-law was looking at us with suspicion, and when I looked at her husband and couldn't come to a conclusion and looked back at me, the soldier who came with the order interrupted our staring.

"Someone from the Xia Mansion is here." The messenger told us casually. I guess this disease was brought out by Zhou Yu.

"Who is this person from the Xia Mansion?"

“It seems to be an old shrimp.”

"Hmm?" I hummed in doubt.

"Come with me, and you have to fix the mess you made yourself." Jiang Zheng was a little rude, but I felt relieved all of a sudden, because Brother Zheng no longer cared about my outrageous behavior in the hall.

As soon as I arrived at the hall, I saw a middle-aged man with some gray hair on his temples. He bowed to me and said, "Sir, I am sorry for offending you..."

Behind him there were a dozen people holding some silk and valuables in their hands, obviously intending to ransom the person.

"Someone come here, arrest this accomplice as well." I walked in front and ordered people to take action without any hesitation, wondering if the situation had gotten out of hand again.

This guy should be the lowly father, but this guy is obviously not a well-educated person. At least Zheng Ge has not entered the door yet, and Zheng Ge is the real leader. He came to me directly like this, Zheng Ge was embarrassed, and I was not happy. It must be those guys who were unwilling to squeeze out the bitter water to report to the big guy. But I just realized my mistake, and you are offended again. This is unacceptable. But this time, I left a way out for Zheng Ge. I planned to let Zheng Ge be the good guy, so I made a gesture with my hands behind my back.

But before Zheng Ge could say anything, more than a dozen servants of the Xia Mansion suddenly drew their weapons from somewhere and confronted our soldiers. Our soldiers also quickly drew their weapons, and then one of the servants whistled, and there was immediate noise outside the door.

"Why are you doing this?" Brother Wen Zheng asked with a frown.

"I have been very polite and well-mannered, but you still cannot distinguish between loyalty and righteousness, and confuse Dao Zhi with Yan Yuan. I have no choice but to ask you two to send me, my son, and my family away from Yuzhang. We will not stop you from leaving here." Although he was helpless, he had a look of satisfaction on his face.

I grabbed Brother Wen Zheng who was having a lustful outburst. I knew that Brother Wen Zheng and I were both tough guys, but I was worse.

"You only have a dozen servants guarding the house." I said coldly.

"There are 300 soldiers outside the gate, and 600 righteous men who are willing to help because of injustice. Your governor's office has been surrounded by my people. Your people are still outside the city. The soldiers in the city have no orders for the time being. In a moment, there will be a pool of blood here. I can't bear to see this happen, so I have to inconvenience you two."

A soldier ran over and was about to report loudly, but I stopped him with a gesture and gestured to him to tell Brother Wen Zheng.

After some whispering, Brother Wen Zheng's face turned a little ugly. It seemed that this guy was telling the truth and not just trying to scare people.

"Po Liu..." I shouted, but before I could finish, an arrow had already shot through the hand of the operator of the weapon closest to me. No one cared about the wounded wailing on the ground. Then, Nan and Song Qian from the side yard rushed out with their weapons, but a woman's hand immediately grabbed Song Qian back, and seemed to want to grab Nan, but failed. Yan Rou strode out of the other side room, walked straight to my side, and handed me the Heavenly Wolf. Then, the Xianbei people's bows and arrows surrounded the guys.

I didn't look at them, I guess they were trembling. I encounter this kind of situation three times a day. To be honest, I don't believe that I can't deal with you bumpkins.

"Are you sure?" I didn't look at them, but just looked at the wolf in my hand. I could feel their whispers, but it seemed that there were such whispers everywhere. I guess our soldiers and their guards were misled. Only the Xianbei people's bows and arrows were still powerful.

"You don't have anything to say? Are you stalling for time?" After pacing forward a few steps, I noticed the sentry tower in front of the Governor's Mansion. I gestured to Po Liu Han Lieya and pointed to the twin towers opposing each other in front.

I guess he is stalling for time. If the people outside feel something is wrong, they may attack the courtyard. If I am the leader outside, I will first occupy the watchtower outside, and then suppress the courtyard with bows and arrows. Then I will climb the wall at the same time. It will be broken in one fell swoop. Therefore, we must control the two watchtowers. Footsteps sounded from behind, and at the same time a voice sounded: "Zheng, is there something wrong?" Then, when she stood still in the hall, everyone heard the sound of heavy weapons hitting the floor. I turned around and saluted slightly, "Brother and sister-in-law, please allow me to command on your behalf, okay?" After getting permission from Brother Zheng, I turned around to command, but I was more cautious. I called Beihai to me and commanded: "Everyone climb the wall and use bows and arrows to order them to put down their weapons. If they refuse to obey?" I was still a little hesitant, but I still waved my hand.

The Xianbei people began to disperse to the walls, waiting for the order from Po Liu Han Lie Ya to climb the wall and put pressure on them. Long Xing also asked a few people to go up to the roof and prepare for the tower. While waiting for the signal that the people from all sides had arrived at the bottom of the wall. The other people, the soldiers guarding the courtyard and other foreign warriors of ours, in addition to continuing to surround the group of people, the rest of the people, under the command of Yan Rou and Wang Lian, had begun to line up in front of the door.

Long Xing and Nan whispered a few words. Although the yard was quite spacious, more than a hundred people squeezed in in an instant, and most of them left immediately. This kind of mobilization also made the scene look quite chaotic, but I still noticed this place. I even felt that Long Xing glanced at me. I guess this guy is going to do something bad.

Sure enough, Nan spoke, and I thought I was about to burst out laughing. At least Nan still had the image of an honest child. It was impossible not to believe him when he came out.

"Brother Zirui, my fork is made of black iron, so it won't hurt the taste if it hurts people. I'm afraid other people's weapons are not clean. Your Tianlang just filled up its blood a few days ago. Let me drink my fork for these dozen people, okay?"

I thought it would be hard for the courage of the people in front to continue. Sure enough, some people looked at me in horror, some looked at him in horror, even the soldiers on our side.

I thought that was about enough, so I turned around to look at Brother Zheng and Sister-in-law, said hello, and then I was about to go to the door.

"I'll leave it to you here. Once you've cleaned it up, pickle it according to the old rules."

"Ah..." A servant of the Xia family suddenly cried out miserably, which made me feel that the lowly man must have learned the words from him. It was not a sound that came from a human throat at all. As my skin was covered with goosebumps, he knelt on the ground and cried, "I still have a wife and children. I don't want to die. Please, let me go!"

I was startled by his voice, but quickly calmed down and thought, "Leave him alive."

Soon, someone else threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground. However, my mind was no longer on the pleasure of seeing my opponent's psychological collapse, because the sound coming from outside the courtyard let me know that the opponent had begun to attack the Governor's Mansion.

"Go up to the roof!" The most valuable thing about Long Xing is that he can always stay sober. He already knows that it is unwise to fight with others for the top of the wall, so he takes a step back to protect the top of the wall from being climbed over at will.

As time goes by, we will have more and more advantages, but now is obviously not the time to think about when this time will be. After Zishi sent me to Yuzhang, he went to his post to deal with the backlog of official business. He is the garrison commander, which shows that we are short of people to a certain extent. When we arrived at the door, the noise was much louder. When there was a noise outside, the guard had quickly closed the door. That's why Yan Rou quickly brought me the weapon. At this time, the door was being hit by a heavy object. Of course, we are not in a hurry to rush out. Let them spend more effort. It is indeed a good time to recuperate, especially for those of us who have just arrived.

Wang Lian had people pile up some wood and earth and rocks one zhang behind the door, more than 10 zhang high and more than 30 zhang wide, slightly wider than the door. This made me confused. Either block the door and have everyone go upstairs, or don't do this kind of laborious thing. This is a bit strange.

"Brother Zhi, don't you know why this is happening?... Everyone, come to these two sides!... This is what the man called Qing taught me. I've never met him, but I heard he's from a foreign tribe. Brother Zishi taught me this method. We call it screen defense."

There were obvious scars on the door. But no one was panicking. The soldiers here had been fighting the Jinfan bandits for half a year, and ours had been fighting non-stop. Everyone was checking if they were ready. They fastened their armor tightly, but the arrows were not yet strung. Wang Lian and I were in the front row, and Yan Rou was in the front row over there.

Wang Lian looked at the door, then at the wall behind him, and saw arrows flying rapidly out of the courtyard. "Brother Zhi, the people you brought with you are very capable!"

"Yeah, what's the use of this?" I have heard this kind of compliment many times. Although it is true, I have become a little numb to it. However, this is the first time I have seen this thing, and I am obviously much more interested in it.

"The enemy is charging in from the front, and their momentum is strong. It is not easy to deal with them. It would be much more advantageous for us to break their front and force them to turn to other directions and repel them. And are you going to the back?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was the summary of us Han people. I think Qing’s head doesn’t have so many twists and turns, and such flowery descriptions. However, their combat experience does make sense, and I can’t help it. We Han people seem to prefer strategy and tactics, and few people seem willing to explore and study such more subtle things. But I have no comment on his last sentence.

The door was finally broken. If it hadn't been broken for such a long time, then the people outside would be as capable as turtles. I habitually moved up and down on the Tianlang pole and shouted, "Brothers, are you ready to kill these bastards?"

This requires no human answer, although the answer is resoundingly correct and satisfying.

After fighting so many times, I understand that momentum is the most important thing. If I give them a heavy blow at the beginning, when they recover and see my appearance, the fear in their hearts will increase, and the battle will be easier to fight.

The opponent's battering ram could not stop and continued to rush down. As soon as it hit the obstacle, the momentum was frustrated. We immediately attacked from both sides. As expected, the opponent's formation immediately stagnated and then retreated. I was always in the first row, swinging my Tianlang and sweeping it across the opponent's head, not caring about the large flaws under my ribs. I remember that Guan Erge told me that when Tianlang chopped with all its strength like a knife, its flaws were in the empty ribs. But I didn't care, because someone would help me protect my ribs. Even if I couldn't protect them, my armor could defend them. I know my armor. The armor that Lu Bu gave me is really good, otherwise I wouldn't have enough lives. If I didn't have it, I might have died in Hanzhong.

I don't know how many times I thought about applying what I learned from Lelang on the battlefield, but I never succeeded once. There was never such an opportunity. This time, there was no space for me to prepare for fighting. I just forced my way through the crowd in front of me like rowing an oar, relying entirely on brute force.

We couldn't fight on the street. I was already walking down the stairs but I stopped. We were too few and we would be at a disadvantage. But I didn't want to give up the advantage. A man on the tower was shot by an arrow and fell down among the enemy. I knew that the Xianbei were fighting hard and I couldn't just let them hold on on the roof. Suddenly I thought of something and ordered everyone to retreat back to the courtyard.

"Will you be able to defeat them in the Spartan battle formation?" I shouted, staring at the situation outside the door. Those of us with bows and arrows were using the "screen" as a cover to shoot at the people outside the door. They didn't dare to rush in, and we were also short of people and couldn't rush out.

"I know. Brother Zishi taught me." But the brave and warlike foreigners under my command were obviously a little confused at this time.

I looked at the situation at the door again. The Governor's Mansion faces north and south, and there is a three-way intersection in front of it. There are crowds of people on the south street now, but most of them are hiding under the porches and behind signs to avoid arrows.

The situation on both sides was unclear due to the door frame. However, judging from the speed of the arrows shot from the roof, the opponent was still trying to climb over the wall.

"Yan Rou, find a few people to deliver arrows to Bei Hai and the others! The brothers from the north, guard the door. Wang Lian... when we wait for them to attack again, we will form a Spartan battle formation... and attack to the right."

"Why attack the right side?"

"The arrows from our right side are shooting faster, and it seems that the enemy is attacking more fiercely on the right side. We have to help the person on the roof."

"yes!"

"Everyone, be alert! The opponent is coming again." Wang Lian began to give his command on forming the formation, while I kept staring at the person outside the door.

I think I must have lost my mind because I jumped out all of a sudden. After I came out, I realized something was wrong. It seemed that I came out a little too early. But my self-esteem came out, and I didn't retreat. Seeing someone rushing over, I thought it would be good to scare him. So I walked out of the door. The opponent didn't rush but slowly approached. Suddenly, I saw someone rushing out in a daze, which still scared them. Wang Lian quickly asked everyone to come together and form the familiar triangular battle formation. But last time I was in the middle, this time they wanted to surround me in the middle, but I was always squeezed in the front. Our battle formation was formed very quickly, and we started to sprint towards the opponent very quickly. The opponent should have never thought of this. Their reaction should be like a mouse pulling a turtle and having no idea where to start, right? My metaphor seems to be too derogatory to ourselves. I must think of a slightly better metaphor in the future, but I don't have time now.

The opponent's collapse was a bit strange, because when we seemed to be in a stalemate, they suddenly lost their strength and collapsed. I remember my last attack swept the butt of a fleeing guy, and the guy suddenly jumped up very high. I think all of us noticed something rising from the ground, and then fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up.

When I shifted my gaze from the people on the ground to the distance, the answer became clear. Li Zhenzhen led people to intercept this gang of thugs from all directions. Now I have time to think about some things. I even wondered if this was a dream.

The battle became completely one-sided, and our Yellow Turban soldiers, who had an absolute advantage, encountered no resistance at all against this mob of guys. So Zishi almost walked straight to me like he was strolling down the street.

"That doesn't make sense!" I said to Zishi. His wife behind him didn't intend to listen to me, because I guess when I looked suspicious, she knew that the problem I couldn't figure out was beyond her wisdom. I continued: "These bastards are so crazy that they dared to take action in the city."

"You may not know that old man very well," Zishi seemed to have understood what was going on: "The old man in this family thinks he is a rare talent and has the ability to make decisions and act in a superior manner. His son was detained by you..."

"You know all this. It's only been less than half an hour. Didn't you stay at the city gate when you entered?"

"Zi Rui, what's wrong with your head? Who should be in charge of your prison? You used to be a city guard."

"Got it, continue."

"I got the report that you detained the scumbag, so I thought something was going to happen, but even I didn't expect him to go so far this time."

"Also, how could he find so many people? Especially since there are so few young and strong men now."

"He thinks he is the reincarnation of Mengchang. He especially likes to take in those bored land rogues and calls them his guests. He calls himself Mengchang. Bah, shameless." After hearing this, he and I looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping on us. Then we looked at each other, and our waists were bent by laughter.

"It's rare to find a person who is so shameless." I nodded.

"But how many disciples does he have?" A question suddenly occurred to me.

"About three or four hundred... Yeah, there seems to be one more on this scene, it feels like there are several hundred more."

"He is also a righteous man who came to help him." I frowned, "Brother Zishi, it seems that you have to check the origins of these people, and rob the Xia Mansion by the way. And..."

Zishi saw me looking around, and he finished what I wanted to say: "We still have to appease the people."

I shook my head and said nothing more. I grew up as a commoner, so I understand one thing: as long as everyone is well fed and there are no other idiots, the common people are actually very satisfied. Unfortunately, the wishes of these lovely people are rarely satisfied. Why can't those above open their eyes to see the people below and know the harm of what they do? Thinking of this, I think the teacher is even more amazing, but I can't figure out what the teacher uses to fill the gap in taxes. My sister told me that according to the account book, our taxes in Jingzhou were paid to Luoyang last winter without a penny less. But my sister also told me that our taxes in Jingzhou have been reduced for many people, and they have been reduced a lot, so it is so stable. In fact, I think the north is also very stable. I don't know how everyone does it. I admit that I am idiot. I often think of other things from one thing, but these things have one thing in common, that is, I don't know what's going on.

"I'm sorry for giving you a good birth, Brother Wen Zheng." I bowed deeply. "If I startle the baby in my sister-in-law's belly, my sin will be even greater."

"It's okay, I didn't expect this guy to be so brave." Brother Wen Zheng seemed to be still a little frightened, and in fact, so was I. If I hadn't relied on the bravery of my brothers this time, I would have been in big trouble.

"Zi Rui, do you want to go and interrogate the Xia family father and son?"

"Brother Wen Zheng will handle everything, right?" I felt it necessary for me to calm down and think about something.

But I still turned around and asked something: "Shouldn't the Master's wife be with you? Why didn't I see her?"

"Master's wife went to Wujun."

"How can you let Master's Wife go there? It's so dangerous. If Master's Wife gets hurt, how can we face the teacher? We will definitely be guilty."

"I sent soldiers to protect them. My master's wife waited until Yujun and the child were stable, and then went to Yinling... If my master's wife is determined to do something, can you persuade her, or can you order her?"

I closed my head and said no more.

At night, I was alone by the river outside the city, with a patrol team behind me. I think they would all look at me. I don't know if my vanity is a little inflated, but I always hope that others will look at me, even if I have done nothing, just like now looking at the flood outside the dike, thinking that although I am young, I have already established some merits, and these merits are indeed very simple. I think the first person who pointed out that the Yellow Turban might take action should be me. That was in the thatched cottage in Xiangyang, but I didn't know that there were ears on the wall at that time... My hatred with the eunuchs should have started from that time. I seemed to have attributed all the bad things to them at that time. Now I am still a marquis of ten thousand households. There is no reason for them not to be jealous of me. In fact, it can't be all the bad things done by the eunuch party. Think about He Jin, who became a general by virtue of the identity of the brother of Queen Mother He. Today, he has claimed to be the king of the same word and has become the de facto emperor. Queen Mother Dong didn't have any strong relatives and wings, which led to Dong Zhong, although he was one of the three officials, still kowtowed in front of He Jin... Dong Zhuo! Why couldn't Dong Zhuo have a family relationship with Empress Dowager Dong? It's entirely possible, otherwise how could he be so inhumane and no one would care. Then it's obvious that I have a big feud with the eunuchs and relatives of the emperor, and this trip to the north, which was almost like an alliance, I'm still alive. I suddenly felt a sense of thankfulness, but then I fell into even more uncomfortable self-blame.

I sat on the dam somewhat dejectedly. What should I do if this goes on? I am a marquis of a million households, and I am only eighteen years old. How can I escape the annual spring meeting with the emperor? Isn't every day in Luoyang full of crises? The powerful people of all colors who are related to eunuchs and relatives have conflicts with me. Although they may not dare to provoke me, because after all, I have made Dong Zhuo... Damn it, I have committed a heinous crime against the people of Yizhou. When can I pay it back? I just found someone I like, but I can't marry her, and I have deeply hurt her. Everything she cherishes most is lost entirely because of me. The Yangguan Avenue, which seemed to be going smoothly, suddenly became narrow, dangerous and full of sadness. And this road is really too long and difficult. I can't go on.

The moon came out today, but the weather was not too cold. As the water flowed, a handful of silver was left in the middle of the river. I must be a guilty person, perhaps a person who deserves pity. I looked at the river in front of me, just looking at it, and walked forward a few steps. The water was already at my feet, and the water was really strong.

"Maybe this is a good destination." I really need to be free. I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but it is indeed very tempting.

"Marquis Fengyun, there is news about your sister. Marshal Jiang asked me to inform you." Wang Lian's voice rang out.

I suddenly remembered the reason I was living. If I died, what would happen to my sister? I quickly steadied myself, turned around and jumped onto the dam, and I was completely refreshed.

"What's going on?" I asked anxiously.

"If we win, the Wujun army may soon join us."

"Really?" I thought this was the best news I'd received in the past few days.

Wang Lian handed me the battle report, and I quickly read it. The beautiful handwriting gave a general picture of the situation. Sister did a great job. She actually managed to get Guan Hai to surrender, and Wang Lang and Yan Baihu were also willing to surrender. After taking over these places, sister will bring the Wujun army, leaving Sheng Bin to guard, and come to join us.

"Binbin might be too much, right? Why not let Brother Pei guard there?" I said to myself. I think Wang Lian probably didn't understand what I was talking about. Because Sheng Bin is my younger brother, we usually address him in a very rude way.

I suddenly felt something was wrong. Since Guan Hai was willing to surrender, why didn't the war report mention Pei Gang or Pei Yuanshao? The handwriting was clearly my sister's. My sister was always very careful, why did she miss Pei Yuanshao and didn't accept Guan Hai's surrender? She also let Sheng Bin, who was only sixteen years old, guard Wu County. Since the rebellion was pacified, why couldn't the experienced Pei Yuanshao be used to guard Wu.

Could it be that Brother Pei has met with an accident? I tried to get rid of this thought, but it stuck in my heart like a needle and I couldn't pull it out. Maybe I can only answer it when my sister comes. But why do I feel a dull pain in my heart

I can still remember that middle-aged man who was strong but had a simple and lovely character. But this time, his body was covered in blood, and I wiped it off as hard as I could, but it just wouldn't get clean.

I was very anxious, and he was anxious too. He suddenly told me: "Oh, brother, it looks like I'm going to die this time." I wanted to shout, but I couldn't.

I woke up suddenly. It was just a dream. Come to think of it, I can still feel Pei Gang's teasing words "I'm going to die" in the dream. I smiled as relaxedly as possible. I picked up the sheepskin beside the couch. It was no different from what I saw yesterday. I tried my best to dispel the crazy thoughts in my mind.

But today I don't know what to do, I can't stand or sit. I just wait until the sun shines brightly in the courtyard. This winter is really warm. I sit on the walkway and bask in the sun like I did in the past, but I don't know when my sister will come back. We need to rest well, and I hope to wait for my sister to come during this period of rest. Of course, I haven't forgotten the dead, ours and those who came to deal with us, I let them all rest in peace, maybe for this reason, the sun today makes me feel very relieved.

"Marquis Ping An Feng Yun, so leisurely."

"Brother Wen Zheng, what advice do you have? I'm sorry I couldn't come to meet you in person." I guess Brother Zheng couldn't get excited to hear such polite words. He waved his hand and talked to me about business.

"Zi Rui, you should solve the problem of Su Fei and Xiang. Only you can handle this matter. After all, it was you who defeated them, and they still regard me as..."

"You damn official!" I finished his words with a vicious smile.

Then, we did the same thing as we had done before in the thatched cottage, but this time he held the sword and I ran away laughing, while before, I usually chased the others. Playing among the pavilions and terraces, I felt it was better not to be over 18 years old.

When I appeared in front of Su Fei with a ruddy face and even a slight breath, I thought he should feel that this big guy with a face like a sweet potato out of the pot is more friendly. I insisted on not putting them in jail but treating them well, which was to win people's hearts. Am I being too straightforward and obviously having some bad intentions? I tried to restrain my wild thoughts and looked at him. He didn't seem to feel what I was thinking. I felt a sense of confusion, but I could feel that he was not on guard against me.

I think the location was well chosen, one room, one table between us, we sat opposite each other fairly. There was no difference between a noble and a pirate.

"Are you okay?" I knew this was nonsense, because I noticed that he used both hands to adjust his clothes before seeing me, so I knew he was fine. However, seeing his hands move without any hindrance, I had to think about which arm he was injured on.

"It's okay. Doctor Hua is very skilled. As soon as the clamp was removed yesterday, the arm was fine." He stretched out his left arm and stretched it a few times. This action reminded me of the arm I broke. I was still thinking about our fighting movements, but I couldn't remember which arm I broke when I knocked him over and broke his arm.

"You are also left-handed?" Thinking of his left hand holding the sword, I suddenly realized that it is not easy to find a left-handed person like me. When I wrote with my left hand, my sister ordered me to write with my right hand without any mercy, leaving no room for change. As a result, the words I wrote with my left hand remained at the level of a beginner, but my right hand was not as good as my left hand, so Huang Xin even laughed at my handwriting. I quickly reminded myself that I didn't know Huang Xin, I couldn't remember Huang Xin, and quickly got back to the conversation.

"No, why am I left-handed?" He didn't seem to notice my change, but just looked at his arm and slightly moved it with his right hand.

"You hold the sword with your left hand."

"Where does your sword hang?"

"I rarely hang my sword. Sometimes I hang it on the left, sometimes on the right. Because I don't usually use it."

"I know you're left-handed. If you were to use a sword, which side would you feel comfortable hanging it on?"

I gestured with my hands and came up with the answer: "right." If I put it on the left, my arm would be stuck, or at least it would be uncomfortable to pull it out. Then I understood his actions at the time, and he confirmed the reason I had come up with.

“I don’t know how you saw through us, but we have fewer people than you, and in order to appear genuine, many of us didn’t even have weapons. I wanted to hold you back, but when I was standing in the same direction as you on the boat and pretending, I couldn’t cross my arms in front of me like that, right?” He then demonstrated a move. Indeed, in that situation, the move was both ridiculous and self-defeating. I laughed too.

"Brother Su Fei, frankly, I can't understand why you wanted to rob me. I can't even understand why you fought with us here for half a year and forced Wen Zheng from Nanye to Yuzhang." I finally arrived at Zishang.

"Well, since you still don't understand and come to ask me again, I'll tell you!"

"Wait, answer me a question first. I find it strange that you seem to trust me so much."

"You should be considered a very strange person. I can't understand why a court official would do something like you, but since Jinfan and I have the same opinion, that is, you are someone who can be trusted, even if you are an enemy."

"Wait, wait, wait, I'm even more confused. Have you and Jinfan seen me before?"

"We just met you that day. We had heard rumors before, but those rumors were so mysterious that we didn't believe them."

"Go on." I was obviously still confused.

"You may not know the friendship between us. Jinfan and I are brothers who have shared life and death. He also regards the other brothers here as his relatives. After that day, he never bothered you again. There are only two possibilities: first, he is dead; second, he believes in you. I also heard what you shouted at him that day. I know that you seemed to have fought a draw, but he was fine. So he must trust you. Otherwise, no matter how many troops you have, my brother Gan Ning will never be afraid!"

I nodded, and I understood everything. So in order to live up to his trust, I proposed a bold idea that he might not have even thought of: "Brother Su, take all your people and let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to Jinfan. I'll take you back. I want to see Brother Gan Ning again."
