Zhang Liao never thought that one day Mi Zhu would propose to marry his sister to him. Although he won Liu Xin's trust, he was nothing in Xuzhou. In terms of family background, he was very different from the Mi family. At first glance, he heard that
Zhang Liao was stunned and hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Zizhong, Zhang is alone and has nothing to offer. My little sister is a rich man. How dare I climb so high?"
Mi Zhu had already hinted this in front of her sister two days ago, and Mi Zhen was fully willing, but she didn't expect her brother to bring it up so quickly. What's even worse is that Zhang Liao refused in person. Mi Zhen felt ashamed without realizing it.
He was so anxious that he wanted to bury his face between his legs, but he couldn't help but peek out from between his fingers.
Mi Fang laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zhang, why are you so unhappy today? This is not like your past behavior. My sister is not someone who hates poverty and loves wealth. Is it because she is not good enough for you or because you look down on our Mi family?
"
Zhang Liao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. It's just that I am loved by my lord and have not made any achievements yet. I really don't dare to think about starting a family."
Mi Zhu picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all in one gulp, and said seriously: "Wenyuan, it is a good thing to be ambitious, but we can definitely start a family and start a career without delay. Besides, my little sister is not old enough yet, even if you want to marry her now, I will
I won’t agree. We can settle the marriage first, and wait until you become successful and famous, which is when you get married. Do you think this arrangement is good?"
Zhang Liao saw Mi Zhu's serious look and knew that if the matter was pushed forward, it would probably hurt the harmony between the two parties. To be honest, he still had a good impression of Mi Zhen, an innocent little girl, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
, nodded and said: "Since Brother Zizhong said this, I will climb up the ladder."
Brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang both looked up to the sky and laughed, but Mi Zhen blushed and said, "Brother, please take it easy, little sister, go back and rest first." After saying that, without waiting for their consent, she hurriedly ran back to her boudoir.
went.
The marriage was settled, and if anything happened in the future in Xuzhou, there would be no need to worry about Zhang Liao not doing his best. Mi Zhu suddenly felt relieved, so he ordered the wine to be served, and the three of them were drunk without realizing it.
The next morning, Zhang Liao woke up and felt a little headache. He opened his eyes and looked around, and found that it was not his military camp. Seeing that he was awake, a pretty maid quickly brought a copper basin and said, "General, please
Clean your hands."
Only then did Zhang Liao remember that he had been drunk last night and stayed overnight in Mi Mansion. He couldn't help but secretly warn himself not to be greedy in the future. If he missed the important event of his lord, he would be guilty of a hundred sins. When he left the room, he asked,
Only then did Zhang Liao realize that Brother Mi Zhu was still hungover. He was worried about the military camp and did not dare to stay, so he asked his maid to thank him on his behalf and hurried out of the mansion, where he bumped into Mi Zhen.
Mi Zhen met Zhang Liao for the first time, and her cheeks felt a little hot. Both of them were speechless for a moment. The situation was very embarrassing, not as natural as usual. Mi Zhen was the first to break the silence, lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her clothes, and said:
"Brother Zhang, the mooncakes you sent are so delicious, but it's a pity that there are too few."
Zhang Liao looked up at the morning glow on the horizon and said casually: "Yes, you can only eat these mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want to eat them again, you have to wait until next year."
Mi Zhen still lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "Why do you have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat moon cakes? Don't you still have moon cakes in your military camp? If they are kept until next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, won't they spoil? Still.
It’s better to take it out and eat it now.”
Zhang Liao suddenly laughed. It turned out that the little girl was greedy again. He turned back to look at Mi Zhen and said seriously: "This moon cake was transported all the way from Xiangyang. How could it be left here today? It was already early in my military camp."
There will be no more mooncakes.”
Mi Zhen raised her head and said angrily: "You lied. I heard it clearly last night. You said there was still more in the military camp. Let me eat the last piece."
Zhang Liao said helplessly: "This is really gone. If I didn't say that yesterday, how can you eat moon cakes with peace of mind? In fact, I still don't know what moon cakes taste like."
"Okay, you were lying to me last night, I'm ignoring you!" After Mi Zhen said that, she turned around and ran away, but her heart felt warm. It turned out that Zhang Liao had always had her in his heart. Thinking of this, Mi Zhen's
His cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot again, and he couldn't help but look back and take a sneak peek. Seeing Zhang Liao still staring blankly at this place, he smiled sweetly, turned around and ran away without a trace.
Only then did Zhang Liao realize that Mi Zhen was not really angry just now. He couldn't help but reached out and touched his head, secretly sighing that it was really hard to guess what the girl was thinking!
At noon that day, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai were escorted to Xiangyang. Liu Xin was furious that Sun Ce and others were pushing for traces. Suddenly, she heard that Zhao Yun had captured them in Luocheng and sent them here. She couldn't help but be surprised.
, what were they doing there? After figuring out the whole story, Liu Xin couldn't help but look at the three people in front of him, and asked: "Sun Ce, since you are determined to be a hero in reviving the Han Dynasty, why don't you come directly?
Why don't you want to go to Luocheng to find me?"
These days, the successive changes have made Sun Ce mature a lot. After seeing the love of the people in Jingzhou for Liu Xin, the crowded recruitment office, and the active work of the prisoners of war, he now feels more and more that what his mother said makes sense.
It would be really ridiculous to think that the Sun family has a share in the world just because his father once obtained a jade seal passed down from the country. If this is the case, the most deserving person in the world is to kill his father and take away
The person who handed down the imperial seal.
Now seeing Liu Xin again, Sun Ce no longer thinks he is hateful, but truly feels that this person is broad-minded and tolerant. No wonder he can gather so many talented people under his command. He relies on his strong martial arts skills.
Sun Ce now understands that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. His martial arts skills may not be ranked among the top five among Liu Xin's generals.
However, Sun Ce was born with a sense of arrogance. Although he was tied up, he still held his head high and said firmly: "My mother said, we have done too many things that are sorry for you, how can we continue to trouble you?
I will use my own hands and unremitting efforts to let my mother and my brothers and sisters live a good life!"
Hearing these words, Liu Xin was very surprised. He couldn't help walking up to Sun Ce, stretched out his right palm, and slapped Sun Ce. Seeing this scene, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai became excited and tried desperately to break away from their guards.
They had all seen Liu Xin's power under their control. With this palm, Sun Ce would still be alive.
But there was only a soft "pop" sound, and Liu Xin's palm slowly fell on Sun Ce's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Ambitious! He is worthy of being Sun Wentai's son. With a son like this, he is also under the nine springs."
It’s time to rest in peace. If that’s the case, then I’ll help you and send you to report to the recruit camp tomorrow. I believe you’ll stand out soon.”
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He subconsciously clasped his fists, and suddenly found that the rope that was tightly tied to his body just now had been completely loosened by Liu Xin's gentle tap. This kind of confrontation
The control of strength made everyone present stunned. In fact, Liu Xin did not use any force at all when he slapped the palm just now. He used the rope-untying technique he learned from Yu Ji, but his technique was faster and difficult for others to detect.
That’s all.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai then breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "We are willing to accompany the young master to the new barracks. Please grant your permission!"
Sun Ce no longer had any ambition at this time. When he heard Cheng Pu and Huang Gai calling him Young Master, he hurriedly stopped him and said: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Huang, please don't call me Young Master again in the future. From today on, I am just
The Lord is just a pawn in front of the horse, and from now on there will only be the Han family in the world, and there will no longer be any inheritance from the Sun family."
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai also knew that there was nothing they could do to save themselves, so they sighed and shook their heads.
Liu Xin signaled the guards to untie the ropes on the two of them, and said earnestly: "Two generals, it is a good thing for Sun Ce to think like this for the country and the people. You should be happy. He is still young, so he must
There is still a long way to go, and it will be a good experience for him to start from a small soldier. As for the two generals, if you are willing to contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty, I will arrange suitable positions for you.
, if you want to disarm and return to work, I won’t force it.”
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were silent for a long time after listening to Liu Xin's words. Suddenly they knelt down together and said in unison: "I will follow my lord to the death and revive the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Xin stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and said: "Both of you are famous generals under Sun Wentai, so naturally you don't need to practice from scratch. In this case, I will send someone to take you to Changsha, and you will go to the navy."
Appoint a lieutenant first."
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai raised their hands together and said: "I will obey the orders of my lord general!"
Then he turned to Sun Ce and said, "Cer, from now on we won't be by your side. Everything depends on you."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Two generals, please rest assured. In the Han army, you have to rely on your true ability. No one can take care of anyone. I am more optimistic about Sun Ce. Sun Ce, from today on, you will belong to the Han army."
As a member, you must always keep your mission in mind and do not let down the expectations of your mother and the two generals. In this way, I will give you seven days' leave, and you and the two generals will go to E County to bring your mother and younger brothers and sisters.
It will be easier to take care of them if we come to Xiangyang."
Sun Ce had lived in Xiangyang for so long, so he naturally knew that the conditions in Xiangyang were better than other places. It would be much easier for his brothers to study in the future. When he heard Liu Xin said that he would take them to Xiangyang to live, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He turned over and knelt down, respectfully.
He kowtowed three times to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin did not shirk this time, and happily accepted his three bows, then helped him up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You hurry up and get on your way."
Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were filled with mixed feelings. They couldn't tell what they were feeling. They bowed silently to Liu Xin and then turned around and left the hall. They saw a scribe hurried in, whom they recognized.
This person was Liu Xin's most trusted advisor, Jushou. He was walking around trying to figure out what happened, when he heard someone behind him shouting: "Quick, stop them!"
