Zhang Da left the palace in Luoyang and recalled the hardships along the way from Langzhong to Luoyang. With today's result, God finally paid off!
It seems to be a bit like a world away.
While waiting, Wang Xiaowu felt like an ant on a hot pot.
Seeing Zhang Da coming out of the palace, he hurriedly greeted him.
"General, you have finally come out. Cao... um, what kind of official title has your Majesty given you?"
Zhang Da took out the edict in his hand.
"Your Majesty made me General Xuanwei, and also gave me the position of Commander-in-Chief, Right Cao Cao! He also gave me a big house!"
"As for the brothers, rewards will be given based on merit."
Wang Xiaowu was quite dissatisfied when he heard this.
He curled his lips and said:
"How could this be? General Xuanwei is just a general with a general name, and this officer is too young..."
Zhang Da looked at Wang Xiaowu's dissatisfied look, smiled and shook his head.
"After all, we have just taken refuge. If the reward is too high, it may not be a good thing for us!"
"We have no background in the Wei Dynasty, so don't we know that ordinary people are not guilty, but carrying a jade is a crime!"
Wang Xiaowu muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Then you can't just confer a general with a random title. In my opinion, even if it's General Siping or Si'an, it can't highlight your achievements, General!"
Zhang Da didn't pay too much attention.
At first, I just wanted to change my destiny, but now I can settle down, which is considered a good result.
"Okay, no need to complain, let's go together and take a look at the Yuci mansion!"
After a while, the two arrived in front of the house.
The exterior of the courtyard is surrounded by lacquered walls, with green willows hanging down on all sides, and a framed gate standing in the middle. Looking in from a distance, the courtyard is dotted with rocks, connected by corridors, and surrounded by hand-curved verandahs. How impressive!
"Master Zhang, I am the steward of this mansion. My surname is Zou. I am here to greet you!"
The speaker was a humble middle-aged scholar. When he saw that the person coming was Zhang Da, he quickly saluted.
Zhang Da nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the servants who were still busy inside, he said.
"Thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied with it. You can go to the accounting office later to get some money to reward you!"
The man felt excited when he heard it. This was the first time that a noble man who had served him for so many years was treated with a straight eye.
Zhang Da said to Wang Xiaowu again.
"Xiao Wu, this is our home from today on. Take a look at what else needs to be bought. You don't have to worry about spending money. We can live a comfortable life!"
Wang Xiaowu was very happy when he heard this.
"Don't worry, General, I will take care of everything!"
Looking at Wang Xiaowu's cheerful figure, he smiled.
Zhang Da rushed from Chencang to Luoyang and then to Fengfeng. Until this moment, he suddenly felt a little tired and went into the bedroom to rest.
I don't know how much time passed, but I heard a faint noise coming from outside.
At this time, Butler Zou reported outside the door.
"Sir, Brother Xiao Wu got into a fight with someone else!"
Hearing this, Zhang Da was puzzled. Wang Xiaowu was not usually a troublemaker, so how could he suddenly have a conflict with others?
So, he hurriedly asked:
"So what happened?"
Manager Zou replied, "Brother Xiao Wu went to the market to do some shopping and accidentally met a rich young man! That young man knew that we were your people, so he made things difficult for us and even humiliated us with words!"
"At the beginning, brother Xiao Wu was afraid of causing trouble to the general and did not pay attention to it. However, he never thought that the man would get worse and insult the general. Brother Xiao Wu was really angry and started fighting with those people. …”
Seeing something fishy, Zhang Da frowned. Who would deliberately embarrass himself?
"Do you know the identity of that person?"
Manager Zou thought for a while.
"That person seems to be from the Sima family. I don't know his specific name."
Hearing this, Zhang Da frowned. He didn't have a good impression of Sima Yi in the first place.
"In that case, come with me and have a look!"
On the east street of Luoyang City, the leading rich man covered his face and cursed loudly.
"A defeated general dares to act cruelly in front of me. A mere pawn dares to offend our Sima family. I think you are impatient!"
"Someone, call me!"
A group of servants armed with clubs rushed forward.
Wang Xiaowu's body was scarred, but he didn't look like he was retreating at all.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Da defended Wang Xiaowu and knocked down the servants of Sima Mansion to the ground with three strikes.
When the young master saw Zhang Da, he looked up and down, stopped his men, and asked immediately.
"Who are you, who dare to ruin my good deeds?"
Zhang Da motioned to Butler Zou to help Wang Xiaowu, his eyes even more angry.
"I am General Xuanwei, Cao You, Cao Yu, Zhang Da, the commander of the army. I heard that you are from the Sima family. What is your relationship with Sima Yi?"
Seeing it was Zhang Da, Sima Tai mocked.
"Who did I think he was? He turned out to be a surrendered general. He dared to call my uncle by his first name. I have no respect for him!"
"I am Sima Tai, son of Sima Kui!"
Seeing that he was a dandy, Zhang Da laughed heartily.
"I haven't heard of it. Forget it. I have remembered this matter today. I will definitely settle this account with your Sima family in the future!"
Sima Tai was extremely angry because this man didn't take him seriously at all.
"You are looking for death. Listen, come to me and beat him to death. If he dies, it will be mine!"
After hearing this, Zhang Da didn't want to cause trouble anymore. A dignified general was actually provoked by an unknown boy. If word spreads, how can he still hang out in Luoyang in the future?
Zhang Da suddenly became furious. Anyone who dared to stop the Sima family servants would be beaten.
Sima Tai looked at the menacing Zhang Da and was completely frightened.
"Don't come here, I'm warning you, I'm from the Sima family..."
Zhang Da approached Sima Tai step by step, so frightened that Sima Tai collapsed to the ground, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing the moisture under Sima Tai's pants, Zhang Da shook his head disdainfully.
"What a waste."
Disdain to pay any more attention to this lost dog, he turned around and left with Wang Xiaowu and others.
Soon, this matter reached Sima Yi's ears. Sima Yi first kept silent, and then his eyes flashed with evil.
Zhang Da, it's Zhang Da again, this guy dares to go against him everywhere, it's simply hateful.
