Seeing that Zhang Heng was about to kill his sister to prove his virtue, Xun You quickly offered his hand to persuade him: "Captain, please show mercy. Although this woman is said to be a relative of Dong's thief, she is just a woman..."
Having said this, Xun You couldn't help but lean closer to Zhang Heng and lowered his voice and said: "It's not like the matchmaker is marrying her. The captain has taken her as his concubine. I don't think anyone would dare to gossip about her."
"Gongda..." Zhang Heng looked at Xun You speechlessly and pointed at his head, "I suspect you have a problem here."
"Forehead……"
"Don't do it yet!" Zhang Heng turned to Taishi Ci again.
Tai Shici couldn't bear to say: "Master, do you really want to kill me?"
"Why, do you have to let me do it myself?" Zhang Heng suddenly emphasized his tone.
Taishi Ci trembled all over and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Master, please calm down, I will take action now!"
After saying that, he walked towards Dong Bai with the knife in hand.
Alas, after all, the chief bookkeeper cherishes feathers too much. He obviously likes them, but he doesn't dare to accept them.
Pity this girl, but she is about to die.
Zhang Heng also glanced at Dong Bai and couldn't help but sigh.
Although this woman is a bit unruly, her crime is not worthy of death, but whoever lets her be Dong Zhuo's granddaughter will have no choice but to die.
Looking at Dong Bai again, looking at the shining blade, he was so scared that he was struggling violently. If his mouth hadn't been gagged, he would have screamed.
Cai Yan on the side couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to plead for mercy, but his father Cai Yong grabbed him and stopped him in a low voice: "Zhao Ji, please don't do anything stupid. People like Zhang Ziyi will kill the woman they love even if they say so." Kill, what’s the use of going up to persuade me?”
"Father, whether you succeed or not, you have to try."
During the nearly one year in Luoyang, although Dong Bai was arrogant, he always treated Cai Yan very well. Cai Yan could not do anything to watch her die.
Although she knew she couldn't stop Zhang Heng's decision, she still had to try, even if she failed, she would feel guilty.
Thinking of this, Cai Yan resolutely broke away from his father's control, stood up in stride, saluted Zhang Hengfu and said: "I beg the captain to spare Miss Dong's life!"
Looking at Cai Yan who suddenly came out, Zhang Heng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
It turned out that she was Cai Yong's daughter. She was wearing a green dress that day and a wedding dress today. Her temperament was so different that Zhang Heng didn't recognize her.
Cai Yong rushed out and said with his hands in his hands: "My little girl is rash, Captain, don't blame her."
After saying that, he was about to pull Cai Yan back, but unexpectedly, Cai Yan was still staring at Zhang Heng closely, wanting to wait for his answer.
Zhang Heng thought for a moment and bowed to Cai Yan.
"The lady is begging for mercy for this girl?"
"Yes, I also ask the captain to spare Miss Dong's life." Cai Yan said in a calm voice.
"Okay, since the lady has spoken, I will spare her life. This can be considered as repayment for the lady's kindness in rescuing her in Luoyang City that day." Zhang Heng waved his sleeves and told Tai Shici to stop.
Back then in Luoyang City, if Cai Yan had not come forward to help, he would have exposed his identity long ago. Now he can return the favor to her.
As for Dong Bai, it would be a good idea to take him back as a hostage first, and then exchange some favors with Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Heng was thinking this, but no one knew what he was thinking, and the way they looked at him immediately changed.
And you said you don’t like this woman!
Xun You, in particular, felt helpless.
If you want a step, just say so. It's not like I won't give it to you, so why bother Mrs. Cai's wife.
Captain Zhang is good at everything, but he loves face too much.
As for repaying Cai Yan for saving his life, everyone turned a deaf ear.
Looking at the eyes of everyone, Zhang Heng didn't know what they were thinking, and couldn't help but feel angry.
I can't talk to you!
"Let's get on the road!"
Zhang Heng ordered loudly, not wanting to pay attention to the crowd at all, and walked directly to the front of the team.
Seeing that Zhang Heng refused to kill Dong Bai, although Cai Yan didn't understand why, he still took it upon himself to help her loosen her bonds so that she could feel better.
After being untied, Dong Bai became much more well-behaved. He neither yelled nor made a fuss. He just held Cai Yan's hand tightly, as if this could give her a sense of security.
Everyone continued on the road. After walking for about an hour, Zhang Heng gave the order to stop and let everyone eat some dry food.
After a fight last night and a desperate escape at night, everyone was already hungry.
After simply eating some dry food, we continued on the road.
The place where they docked before was less than twenty miles away from Luhun County, and everyone finally arrived outside the city before noon.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Heng did not dare to enter the city. He only sent a dozen people into the city to buy some clothes and food, and then continued on his journey.
It was more than two hundred miles from Luhun to Liangxian, and no one dared to take the official road. Fifty miles in one day was considered too much, so it was inevitable to sleep in the wild at night.
Fortunately, Taishi Ci and the dozens of soldiers who accompanied him were all skilled martial arts masters. They could also catch some game on the way, so that everyone could eat dry food and have some oil in their stomachs.
In this way, after walking for three days, the group finally arrived a few miles away from Manzhong County, not far to the west of Liang County.
At night, Zhang Heng found a flat place and ordered people to light a bonfire, planning to rest here tonight.
"Gongda, where are we?"
Zhang Heng pierced a pheasant with a branch and roasted it on the fire while asking Xun You.
Xun You replied: "Captain, we have passed through Manzhong this evening. We can reach Liang County up to thirty miles ahead."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng nodded.
It's finally almost here.
"Two months ago, I went south from Chenliu to Luyang and invited Sun Wentai to fight against the Dong thieves. At that time, Sun Wentai's army was stationed in Luyang, and the forward troops had already arrived in Liang County. As long as we can enter Liang County, it will be completely safe. ”
During the past three days, although traveling was a bit tiring, fortunately, he did not encounter any pursuers, so Zhang Heng was in a good mood and his tone became much more relaxed.
"Oh, the captain actually knows the Jiangdong tiger?" Xun You asked with curiosity on his face.
"We can't say we are acquaintances, but Sun Wentai and my uncle have some old friends..."
Anyway, with nothing to do, Zhang Heng told Xun You about how he met Sun Jian.
On the other side of the campfire, Dong Bai cuddled tightly next to Cai Yan, like a frightened baby.
The fatigue brought to her by the three-day journey was nothing, but the death that could come at any time was like a dark cloud above her head, making her uncontrollably terrified.
"Sister, what should I do now?"
Dong Bai's voice was filled with tears, and he was completely confused.
She was originally the most noble woman in Luoyang City, but now she was reduced to a prisoner. The huge gap was hard for her to accept, but she had to accept it.
Cai Yan sighed. She could understand Dong Bai's mood, but she was unable to change the situation.
"Miss Dong, you can't go back to Luoyang. For now, if you want to survive, I'm afraid...the only way is to please Captain Zhang."
"How to please?" Dong Bai asked hurriedly.
"this……"
Cai Yan's pretty face flushed instantly and she gave a helpless smile.
What else can a woman do to please a man?
