Zhao Yu's ability is quite outstanding, which is why he can gain so much trust from Tao Qian. Tao Qian is not a fool. He is a loyal but incompetent person. How can Tao Qian let him stay by his side?
So long? Under Zhao Yu's arrangements, soldiers loyal to Tao Qian in the governor's office began to gather. At the same time, Zhao Yu also sent people to notify Zuo Rong at the east city gate and the pottery merchants staying in the barracks, Tao Ying.
After the two brothers had done all this, Zhao Yu followed Tao Qian's instructions and notified Chen Gui and his son, Cao Bao and the Mi brothers to come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss important matters.
And just as Tao Qian said before, the invited people did not seem to have any suspicion and quickly rushed to the governor's mansion. Zhao Yu, who was waiting at the gate of the governor's mansion, saw that he only brought a few servants and came over.
There was a glint in Zhao Yu's eyes, and then he stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed his hands to Chen Gui and the others and said, "You adults can come in time, I believe that the lord knows, and
It will be very gratifying! Sirs! Please come down with me!"
"Where is it!" Chen Gui, the eldest among the people, also raised his hand to Zhao Yu with a smile and said: "The lord has summoned us. We are all ministers and should obey orders! However, Lord Zhao can accompany the lord at all times. This is why
It's more than we can envy! Speaking of which, Yuanlong, you must learn from Mr. Zhao on this!" Chen Gui's last words were to a young man behind him.
This young man was about twenty years old and had an elegant appearance. Hearing what Chen Gui said, he took a step forward and said to Zhao Yu: "Master Zhao is a great talent in Xuzhou. My father always uses Master Zhao as an example to teach at home.
I'm here! I also hope that one day I can become a great talent like Mr. Zhao!" This young man is none other than Chen Deng, Chen Gui's son. He had been recommended by Chen Gui to become an official, and now he has been appointed by Tao Qian.
Pi Cheng, it's just that the appointment letter has just been issued a few days ago, and he has not yet rushed to take office. Of course, Tao Qian also did this intentionally.
"Huh!" At this time, a middle-aged military general on the side snorted coldly. This man was about forty years old. Although he was not tall, his appearance was very rough, and his face was full of beard.
There is a centipede-like scar on the top of his forehead, but this person is Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family in Pengcheng. Cao Bao snorted: "Why are you still blabbering here? Didn't you say that the lord is summoning you? Why don't you hurry up and go in for an interview?
See the lord?"
Even though Cao Bao seems rude on the surface, no one else present dares to look down upon him. Cao Bao is thick on the outside but thin on the inside. If you look down on him because of his appearance, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Yes! After glancing at Cao Bao, Zhao Yu glanced at the Mi brothers who had never spoken. He snorted coldly in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Yes, yes! Look at my mind.
Why did you forget about business! Let’s do business first and talk later! Haha! Everyone, please come in!” As he said that, he turned sideways and invited everyone in!
"Stop!" Zhao Yu and Chen Gui had just entered the door, but the followers behind them were stopped by the guards of the Governor's Mansion guarding the door. One of them shouted: "What are you waiting for inside the Governor's Mansion?"
Can you enter at will? We are all waiting here!"
"Bastard!" Hearing this, the first person to get angry was Cao Bao. Cao Bao turned around and ran to the guard. Without saying a word, he slapped him in the face! The guard didn't dare to hide, so he could only force it.
After receiving this slap, a red slap mark suddenly appeared on his cheek. Cao Bao glared and shouted: "My people can come in and out anywhere in Pengcheng, who dares to stop me? Damn you
Anyone who dares to stop me? Believe it or not, I will chop off your head immediately!"
After being scolded by Cao Bao, the guard did not dare to reply. He could only lower his head and say nothing. When Zhao Yu saw it, he hurriedly came forward to persuade him: "General Cao, don't be angry! Don't be angry! The same goes for my brothers.
For the sake of my lord’s safety! As for your lord’s followers…”
Zhao Yu glanced at the followers, there were only fifteen or six of them. Only five or six of them were extremely tall and strong, and the others were no different from ordinary soldiers. Zhao Yudang smiled and said: "This rule is right.
Your Excellencies, of course, are not subject to restrictions! Please, please enter the mansion with your entourage!" If it were just these people, Zhao Yu wouldn't have to worry, because in the governor's mansion, Zhao Yu had arranged for a full five or six people.
Hundreds of people! When the time comes, even if they are piled with people, they will be piled to death!
"Huh!" Since Zhao Yu relented, Cao Bao couldn't hold on to this matter. He glared at the guard fiercely, made a wait-and-see gesture, and then led his entourage to the governor's mansion.
Walked away, and the entourage of Chen Gui and others followed them into the Governor's Mansion. Zhao Yu frowned slightly, then stepped forward to lead the way with a smile. However, Zhao Yu did not notice that behind him,
A cold and cold gaze disappeared in a flash.
Soon, Zhao Yu led everyone to a courtyard in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. Originally, Chen Gui and others should have left their followers outside the courtyard before going in. But before Zhao Yu could say anything, Cao Bao was
With a snort, he took a step forward and led his men directly into the courtyard. Chen Gui and others also smiled faintly and followed closely with their men. Seeing that Chen Gui and others were so arrogant.
, Zhao Yu's face became more and more ugly. He snorted and made a gesture to the guard guarding the door of the yard. When the guard saw it, he immediately understood, turned around and left quickly.
"Master Zhao! What are you doing back there?" At this time, a voice came from the door of the courtyard, but Zhao Yu was startled. He turned around and saw that it was the eldest brother of the Mi family.
Mi Zhu was looking at himself with a smile at the moment.
"Uh!" Zhao Yu hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the medicine my lord was going to take was not ready yet, so I ordered a soldier to go to the kitchen to give instructions so as not to delay my lord.
disease!"
"Haha!" After hearing Zhao Yu's improvised excuse, Mi Zhu also smiled lightly and did not say whether he believed it or not. He just said: "When the lord is ill, all the big and small things in the governor's mansion will be on Mr. Zhao."
It’s on someone’s shoulder! Mr. Zhao has been working really hard during this time!”
Hearing that Mi Zhu seemed to be pointing something out, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel nervous. However, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mi Zhu's expression, Zhao Yu turned to smile and said: "Thank you, Master Mi! I'm here to serve my lord.
It should be! But during the time when my lord was ill, thanks to the concerted efforts of Lord Mi and all the others, we were able to ensure the normal operation of Xuzhou's government affairs. If you really want to say that the hard work is done, it should be Lord Mi and you!"
"Haha! They are just serving the lord!" Mi Zhu replied with a smile, then turned to look behind him and said to Zhao Yu: "Master Zhao, please take us to see the lord quickly! We still have
I have a lot of official business to deal with, so I can’t waste too much time!”
"Ah! That's nature! That's nature!" As soon as Mi Zhu changed the topic, Zhao Yu quickly responded with a few words, and then quickly walked into the courtyard gate. At this moment, in the courtyard, Chen Gui and others led
The entourage was waiting outside the wing in the courtyard. Finally, Chen Gui and others did not dare to be too arrogant and did not break into the wing without permission. Instead, they waited at the door of the room. Zhao Yu quickly walked through the crowd and walked to the door of the room, but
He cupped his hands to everyone and said: "My lords, my lord is sick in bed. I am afraid that so many people cannot enter this room. Please lords, please leave all your entourage outside the room!"
Chen Gui narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course this is what we should do! Please ask Mr. Zhao to open the door and let us go in to see the lord!"
Just as Chen Gui finished speaking, suddenly, a cold snort came from behind Chen Gui, and then, a black shadow suddenly shot out from behind Chen Gui and flew directly to a corner next to the wing.
A scream rang out immediately, and a heavily armed soldier jumped out from the corner, covering his face and falling to the ground!
As this soldier was exposed, all the five to six hundred soldiers that Zhao Yu had arranged inside and outside the courtyard all stood up. Each one of them drew their weapons and pointed them at the nearly twenty soldiers inside the courtyard.
The remaining people. The followers behind Chen Gui and others were not vegetarians either. They also drew out their weapons one after another and protected Chen Gui and others in the middle. For a time, the entire courtyard was tense and the atmosphere was extremely tense!
"Master Zhao!" Chen Gui narrowed his old eyes, stared at Zhao Yu closely, and said unhurriedly: "What is going on?"
Although it had been arranged long ago, Zhao Yu did not expect that such a change would suddenly occur, and he was a little overwhelmed. However, Zhao Yu's ability was not bad, and he finally forced himself to calm down. Since the situation was like this, Zhao Yu also
No longer thinking about it, he looked at Chen Gui and the others, snorted coldly, and shouted: "You have ulterior motives! You have bad intentions! I have been ordered by my lord to kill you! Soldiers, kill me!"
After finishing, Zhao Yu jumped back and hid directly in the wing room behind him!
"Huh!" Another cold snort sounded, but it was exactly the same as the one just made. Two red lights flashed, and a tall follower who had been guarding behind Chen Gui was
He rushed out directly, blocked in front of Chen Gui and others, turned around and shouted to Chen Gui and others: "Come into the room! I will deal with these people!" After saying that, the follower pulled out the weapon with one hand.
The sword at his waist was lying across his chest, and he looked coldly at the ambush soldiers surrounding him! He saw that this follower had a face as red as red and phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and a long beard reaching his chest, but it was none other than Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang!
