Zhang Nan successfully gained the trust of the soldiers by telling him something confidential.
After making a promise, he was taken to Liu Zhang's temporary palace as he wished.
Zhang Nan was not brought directly to Liu Zhang, but to the door of a room.
After the soldiers warned Zhang Nan not to move around at will, he entered the house alone to report to Liu Zhang.
It is very strange to say that the residence where Liu Zhang lives does not have any guards!
At least there was no soldier around Zhang Nan.
The soldiers who brought Zhang Nan here were also very caring. They were really relieved that Zhang Nan was standing outside the door alone, and there was no worry about Zhang Nan taking the opportunity to slip away.
Facts proved that this was indeed the case. Zhang Nanzhen stood straight on the spot, not daring to move even half a step.
Zhang Nan's idea is very simple. What if the guards are ambushing in the dark?
If there is an ambush, the moment you run away, you will be pronounced dead.
It was obvious that Zhang Nan did not want to die, otherwise he would not have gone to great lengths to seek an audience with Liu Zhang.
And for Zhang Nan, there is a bigger crisis now.
When you meet Liu Zhang, what secrets do you want to tell him?
Zhang Nan didn't tell Liu Zhang anything top-secret at all, and he only met Liu Zhang to survive.
If Liu Zhang fails to be convinced, Feng Xi may not need to take action, and today is the day Zhang Nan will die!
Zhang Nan was so confused that he had no time to observe whether there were any guards hiding in the dark.
At this moment, the sound of conversation suddenly came from inside the house.
The sound was not loud, and if you didn't calm down, you wouldn't be able to hear anything.
Originally Zhang Nan didn't want to eavesdrop, but two words were always mentioned in the room.
Xu Shu!
The commander-in-chief of Liu Bei's army in Jiangbei.
Zhang Nan would never believe that someone in Liu Zhang's army had the same name as Xu Shu.
Even if there was, how could Liu Zhang be so reused by such a coincidence?
But the voice became smaller and smaller, and Zhang Nan couldn't hear what was being said.
Driven by great curiosity, Zhang Nan began to look around.
After confirming that no one was really nearby, Zhang Nan moved forward slightly and put his ear against the door frame.
The conversation in the room instantly reached Zhang Nan's ears clearly.
"Yuan Zhi, don't worry, Gu has already found a way to rescue your mother!"
Zhang Nan looked horrified immediately after hearing this.
Liu Zhang was the only one in Yiling City who could claim to be alone.
What does it mean?
Liu Zhang wants to help Xu Shu save his mother?
Doesn't that mean that Xu Shu is Liu Zhang's man?
Zhang Nan was stunned instantly. How could this be possible?
Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the house again.
"Mr. Qin, if the big-eared thief knows that I am a member of Duke Qin, he will definitely kill my mother!"
"Why don't Duke Qin let me go back, continue to lurk under the command of the big-eared thief, and help Duke Qin completely eliminate the big-eared thief!"
If Zhang Nan had doubts about this matter just now, now he completely believes it.
There is no doubt Xu Shu’s voice inside!
This voice was so familiar to Zhang Nan that he could still hear it even if it turned into ashes.
"No! Yuan Zhi, it's enough to severely injure the big-eared thief. Our current strength is not enough to take down the entire Jingzhou."
"You've done enough, it's too dangerous to go back!"
"Mr. Qin, if I don't go back, my mother will definitely die at the hands of the big-eared thief!"
"If my mother dies because of my concubine, I would rather die!"
"Don't worry Yuan Zhi. Guan Yu is still in Gu's hands. The worst case scenario is that I will trade Guan Yu's life for your mother!"
"I'll leave everything to Duke Qin!"
"Don't worry Yuan Zhi, this matter can be left to Gu!"
When Zhang Nan heard this, his mind went blank.
It turns out that not only Jiangbei was defeated, but Liu Bei's main force in Xiaoting, Jiangnan was also defeated!
Moreover, General Guan Yu was captured alive by Liu Zhang!
Why Liu Beijun suffered such a disastrous defeat is probably a mystery to everyone.
But at this moment, Zhang Nan understood!
He is the one who knows everything!
Xu Shu, the commander-in-chief of Jiangbei, turned out to be Liu Zhang's man. It would be strange to win this battle!
"Informing the Duke of Qin, Zhang Nan, the naval commander of Liu Bei's army, has asked to see the Duke of Qin. He said that he has something important to tell you!"
"Oh? Where is he?"
"Right outside the door!"
"Let him in!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan quickly retreated far away and regained his previous nervous look.
Sure enough, not long after, the soldier came out of the house.
Just as Zhang Nan was about to speak, the soldier drew his sword and pointed it towards Zhang Nan.
"Ah! Spare my life!"
Zhang Nan screamed in fright, and immediately fell to his knees with a pale face.
The soldier stepped forward and put the cold sharp blade directly to Zhang Nan's neck.
"I told you to stop running around. You can't understand people, right?"
Feeling the coldness coming from the sword blade, Zhang Nan couldn't help but shiver.
"I...I didn't!"
"I swear, I didn't move at all!"
In order not to expose any flaws, Zhang Nan quickly denied it.
He was obviously observing very carefully, and he didn't make any movement. How could he be noticed?
Or was he noticed by the soldiers inside the house?
"If you dare to quibble, I will kill you right now!"
The soldier suddenly became furious and the blade began to slide slightly.
"Brother, I was wronged!"
At this point, Zhang Nan could not admit it even if he died.
Moreover, Zhang Nan concluded that the soldiers in front of him were trying to deceive him.
If he was really so sure, the sword wouldn't be on his neck!
"Hehehe, you have a tough mouth!"
"Okay, let me see if your heart is as tough as your mouth!"
The soldier sneered, then raised the sharp blade in his hand and stabbed Zhang Nan directly in the heart.
Zhang Nan was completely stunned. The murderous intent in the soldier's eyes was so strong that it was definitely not just talk!
It would be such an injustice if he died like this.
Seeing the sharp blade approaching, Zhang Nan could only close his eyes and yell as hard as he could.
"Mr. Qin, I was wronged!"
"stop!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Nan's shouting actually attracted a stop.
After hearing this, the soldier immediately stepped aside, retracted his sword, and looked at the person at the door.
"Mr. Qin!"
When Zhang Nan heard this, he was overjoyed and ran towards Liu Zhang's feet, kneeling and crawling.
Unfortunately, he didn't even take a few steps before he was pinned down again by the soldier who just wanted to kill him.
"what happened?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Zhang Nan quickly cried.
"Qin Gong! I have something important to report to Qin Gong, but he wants to kill me indiscriminately!"
"Please ask Mr. Qin to make the decision for me!"
Zhang Nan's face was pressed against the cold ground, and he could only see Liu Zhang's boots, but not Liu Zhang's face at all.
Therefore, it is not clear what Liu Zhang's expression was.
But Zhang Nan knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to let Liu Zhang give him a chance to speak.
After a long time, Liu Zhang's voice sounded again.
"Let him go."
These four simple words were full of supreme majesty, and the power that bound the body suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Nan kowtowed repeatedly, thanking these four words that sounded like the sound of nature!
"Thank you so much, Duke Qin, thank you so much, Duke Qin!"
