Zhang Fei's actions were naturally extremely fast, and he cut off Chen Ying's head with just one blow.
He took the bloody head in his hand, smiled at Zhang Heng and said, "Sir, this man was killed, but when are we going to get the gold back?"
"Why do you want to take it back?" Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Fei speechlessly, "This is just money, but it should be used as money to buy this person's life."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei shook his head firmly and said, "This is not possible. After all, dozens of pieces of horseshoe gold are enough for us to spend for several months. Besides, this guy deserves to die. Killing him with one knife will be considered an advantage, so why do we need it?" What money to buy your life?"
"Forehead……"
Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Fei in surprise and was speechless for a moment.
Feelings Mr. Zhang, you are the real thrifty and thrifty person!
"But now that the army has left the city, how can we go back for this matter?" Zhang Heng said with a bitter smile.
"There is no need for the army to turn back, I am enough."
"Do you know where this person lives?"
"Of course!" Zhang Fei said with a confident smile, "Yesterday I was keeping an eye on this guy and found out where he lives."
Good guy, this was planned in advance!
Looking at Zhang Fei with a simple and honest smile, Zhang Heng suddenly felt that he was more sinister than himself.
"What do you think, Mr. Xuande?" Zhang Heng looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, "Yide, go back as soon as possible. Don't delay the important event of the alliance."
"Okay, brother, don't worry. I can get the gold back for you within an hour at most."
Zhang Fei patted his chest and promised, then turned back on his horse.
Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Fei's back, then at Liu Bei who had a look of approval on his face, and at Guan Yu who said nothing but nodded slightly, his expression a little numb.
Are you the Jihan Group or the Liangshan Group? Why do you smell like a gangster!
Is it still too late for me to jump out of the car?
The army continued to advance. Just as Zhang Fei said, they only walked for less than an hour. When they were still about thirty miles away from Jujube, he turned back on horseback, carrying a huge bag behind him.
Zhang Heng took the bag and opened it, and found that there was more money than what he had given away!
It is estimated that Zhang Fei ransacked Chen Ying's house to achieve such results.
It’s completely proven, you are the Liangshan gang!
However, Zhang Heng was not polite and handed the bag directly to Uncle Li.
After walking for about half an hour, the Zizao City Gate was already in sight in the distance, and people gradually appeared around it.
There were also signs of soldiers camping outside the city, and there were even scouts in twos and threes patrolling and guarding.
Thinking about it, the small town of Suanzao was really reluctant to accommodate more than 100,000 troops. Many troops who spontaneously came to join the alliance were stationed outside the city.
Liu Bei's team did not attract the attention of others, and the surrounding soldiers also turned a blind eye. There are many people coming to the alliance these days, and there are even more officials of Liu Bei's level. They have long been used to it.
There were troops stationed around, so Liu Bei ordered to slow down. After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the Suanzao City.
The gate of the city was naturally heavily guarded, but about fifty meters to the left, several temporary houses were built with several officials inside. Seeing Zhang Heng and his party arriving, he took the initiative to greet them.
"May I ask who is here?"
The leader was a handsome middle-aged man in his forties. He was not as domineering as Chen Ying before. Instead, he was smiling all over his face.
Just the smile on his face, and the scattered troops stationed along the way, gave Zhang Heng a sense of immediate visibility - as if this was not a place where princes gathered for an alliance, but a venue for some large-scale event in later generations.
The smiling scribe in front of him seemed to be the receptionist of the event organizer.
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Liu Bei did not dare to neglect, he immediately dismounted his horse and said, "Liu Xuande, the commander of Gaotang, come to join the alliance!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng also dismounted, raised his hands and said: "Nanyang Zhang Ziyi, come to join the alliance!"
The Han Dynasty had a parallel system of counties and states, and the administrative units below the county level were counties. But counties are divided into large counties and small counties. The chief executive of a small county is called a chief, and the chief executive of a large county is called an order. Gaotang County, which Liu Bei is in charge of, is the top high-level county, and the county magistrate has a rank of thousands of stones.
So strictly speaking, Liu Bei's official position is not too low. The next step is to be a feudal official at the level of governor of a state or county with two thousand stones.
After the middle-aged man heard Liu Bei and Zhang Heng introduce themselves to each other, and saw that they were walking together, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
It is really strange that a magistrate from a high-class county came together with a scholar with no official position.
However, he immediately held up his hands and said with a smile: "I met you two in Chen Palace, the governor of Xiadong County."
"It turns out to be Chen Gongtai, a famous scholar from Dongjun. I have admired him for a long time!" Liu Bei quickly returned the courtesy.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but take another look at Chen Gong.
Before we even entered the city, we met another celebrity.
As the top adviser of this era, Chen Gong is only somewhat famous now and serves as the anchor of Dongjun under Zhang Miao.
"Mr. Xuande was so complimentary. He has a humble reputation and is not worth mentioning." Chen Gong said politely, with a look of complacency on his face. He then explained, "The righteous scholars who have come to join the alliance these days are too. There is no one to guide us and we are afraid of causing trouble, so I have ordered you to come here to welcome all the people seeking justice against Dong. Since you two are here, please follow me into the city."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng burst into laughter again.
I really made my guess right. This guy Chen Gong is really the head of the reception department.
Liu Bei smiled and nodded, "In that case, it's time to work."
At the moment, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei to command the troops outside the city, and only took Guan Yu and Zhang Heng into the city with Chen Gong.
Suanzao City was already simple and crude. After the coalition forces moved in, in order to make it look better, they simply renovated the original county government office and used it as a meeting hall for the coalition camp.
Of course, only officials at the prefecture level are eligible to participate in discussions.
The rest can only be like the army stationed outside the city, only waiting for orders.
Entering the county government office, Zhang Heng saw two people inside.
An old man in his fifties sat on the throne, dressed in rich clothes, and his every move was dignified. The other one is much younger, only about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is sitting at the bottom left.
Chen Gong walked in with the three of them, bowed his hands to them respectively, and then said: "Liu Shijun, Fujun, Gaotang ordered Liu Xuande to come to make an alliance."
Hearing Chen Gong's address to the two of them, Zhang Heng immediately understood their identities.
The old man sitting high on the throne is Liu Dai and Liu Gongshan, the current governor of Yanzhou. The younger man next to him is Zhang Miao, Zhang Mengzhuo, the prefect of Chenliu, and the immediate boss of the military commander Chen Ying.
Now Chen Ying's head is still in Guan Yu's hands, and the blood has already penetrated the linen wrapping, dripping on the floor.
