I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 603 Dong Zhuo’s Disease
Liu Jian lowered his head and glanced at the jue that Mi Zhen had dropped on the ground. Then he walked slowly over, reached out and picked up the jue from the ground, wiped it with the cloth on the table, and then placed it in front of Mi Zhen. On the desk.

Mi Zhen was very fond of Liu Jian's gentlemanly behavior, but she had no time to worry about Liu Jian's gentlemanly behavior now.

She hurriedly asked: "How come Sir, do you know that what Zuo Rong wants is the entire amount of food and ink for my family's disaster relief?"

Liu Jian stroked his neat beard, and then slowly said to Mi Zhen: "Because what Zuo Rong wants is all the supplies you have come to help me, Miss. Zuo Rong is not a very scheming person, and he has been targeting him for a long time." For your Mi family, this time you brought so much food and grass to relieve the disaster, with Zuo Rong’s character, how could you not want to take it for yourself?”

"This time he was polite first and then sent troops. He first asked the girl for all the food and grass. If the girl didn't give it to him, or only gave him a small part, then he could use his methods on you."

Mi Zhen was stunned for a while.

The dignified Prime Minister Pi Guo actually wanted to plot the food and supplies of the Mi family to help the victims. Wouldn't it become a joke if word spread?

But Mi Zhen couldn't help but believe in the person in front of her.

Although it was only three days apart, Mi Zhen was deeply convinced of this middle-aged man whom she had just met.

But Mi Zhen, who had dark circles under her eyes, bit her mouth tightly and stood there without speaking.

Liu Jian just stroked his beard and stood quietly aside, neither interrupting nor saying anything, just waiting for Mi Zhen to express her position.

When she was young, she saw Mi Zhen, who was wearing a long gown with water sleeves. She suddenly bowed to Liu Jian Yingying with the courtesy of a woman.

"Since sir is my brother's former friend, please save our Mi family for the sake of my brother's sake. I would like to thank you here, my little girl."

Liu Jian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Mi Zhen up, and then said to him with emotion: "Girl, don't be like this, hey, actually speaking, I am also a person from a declining family. Back then, my family was in Huai, and we were considered wealthy, although not above. We are a top-notch family, but that's what we have to say. Later, we were hit by an accident and all our wealth was lost. My own family was in dire straits. Fortunately, I got to meet Brother Ling once. Brother Mi helped me with my property and help me tide over the difficulties. I Although my family has not recovered its strength now, it is not completely destroyed at least."

"So no matter what, I will repay Brother Mi's kindness."

"Now that I have traveled here, I heard that the girl is giving alms here, and I also know that Zuo Rong, Que Xuan and others are in power here. I know that they will definitely plot against the girl, so I came to help."

"If the girl can trust someone and tide over the difficulties with me, then I will do my best."

The sincerity of Liu Jian's words made Mi Zhen feel warm in her heart.

Regardless of whether Liu Jian can do what he said, but based on Liu Jian's current performance, his words, and his actions, the overall feeling is that Mi Zhen is very trustworthy.

Mi Zhen felt strange... He had only met this middle-aged man twice, but his gentleness and dependability filled Mi Zhen's heart with an unprecedented strangeness. .

As the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou, in the past, the children of various wealthy families in Xuzhou always tried their best to show their superiority in front of Mi Zhen.

The man in front of her didn't seem to need to show his superiority. He just needed to talk about something seriously in front of her. His magnanimity and gestures were enough for Mi Zhen to see the excellence in him.

Even so, Mi Zhen still felt that he seemed to be very low-key.

Generally speaking, there is a sense of mystery about this man that Mi Zhen cannot find out.

Mi Zhen was filled with confusion.

Zhang Fei, who was behind Liu Jian, tried his best to resist the urge to laugh.

My brother is so good at deceiving!

The level of writing this story is really unmatched by ordinary people. I, Zhang Fei, couldn’t come up with such a smooth story about his brother even if I tried my best.

The family was in a state of decline, and he had received financial favors from Mi Zhu. How could my brother make up such lies with just one mouth, and make them so vivid? Look at his expression, as if he had really been favored by Mi Zhu and came here to repay the favor. Same as people.

At this moment, Zhang Fei admired Liu Jian more and more in his heart, and this time he admired him from all aspects.

You have to be convinced of your ability to tell lies!

Even Zhang Fei couldn't see Liu Jian's flaw at this moment, let alone Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen asked: "Sir, you said that the life of the little girl and the followers of the Mi family are all in danger. Could it be that the life danger comes from Zuo Rong and Que Xuan?"

Liu Jian nodded solemnly: "To be honest with you, girl, Zuo Rong and Que Xuan do intend to kill people and get goods. However, they dare not make this matter explicit for the time being, so as not to arouse the resentment of your brother Mi Zizhong."

"If my estimate is correct, in two days, Zuo Rong's envoy will come to find the girl again."

Mi Zhen sighed: "I have already given Zuo Rong two thousand shi of food, what else does he want?"

Liu Jian's face showed a bit of helplessness. He shook his head and sighed: "Those two thousand stones of food cannot satisfy Zuo Rong's appetite."

"According to my opinion, after Zuo Rong has taken two thousand shi of food from you, he will send someone to discuss with you in a few days. He said that the refugees in the north of Xiapi have been temporarily stabilized, while there are more refugees in the south of Xiapi and they are in greater need. Relief from the Mi family."

"He will hope that you will move the team from here to Xiapi Nandi, where more refugees will come from Guangling or south of Surabaya."

Mi Zhen didn't expect that Liu Jian would explain the matter in such detail, and even make it clear what Zuorong would do next.

"Our family came to Xiapi to provide relief to the victims. We can do it either in the north of Xiapi or in the south of Xiapi County. It is reasonable and reasonable for Zuo Rong to make such a request."

Liu Jian said seriously: "He is reasonable, but have you ever thought about it? The northern border of Xiapi is not too chaotic, the number of chaotic people is not that large, and there are not many people who have migrated from the local area. Your Mi family is here If Zuo Rong sends troops to attack and kill you, it will be easy to be exposed when you are doing things here, but south of Xiapi, it is now a deserted place, with refugees scattered in all directions, it can be said that there are almost no chickens or dogs left."

"Hey, you lead people there to give alms. If Zuo Rong sends his troops to dress up as thieves and kill all of you and rob you of food and grass, who will be able to avenge you and avenge you?"

Mi Zhen was shocked when she heard this: "Sir, do you mean that Zuo Rong wants to send people to kill us?" Liu Jian nodded and said, "I am here today just to remind you that I don't want to see my old friend's sister die. It’s only in the hands of evil people that they come up with a plan, and I hope you can understand the dangers involved.”

Mi Zhen's pretty face turned a little pale. Although she had seen a lot, this was the first time he had encountered such a life-and-death fight.

"Sir, since you are my brother's old friend, please, for my brother's sake, try to solve this situation for us."

"Zhen'er is willing to treat her as a teacher."

Liu Jian stroked his short beard and frowned.

"I'm just an ordinary person, how can I turn my hands into clouds and turn my hands into rain? How can I stir up Prime Minister Pi's plan?"

Mi Zhen said hurriedly: "Sir, although Zhen'er is short-sighted, she can still see that your husband is a famous person."

"Sir, he is a man of great talent. He must have great strategies and wisdom. To save Zhen'er, he will also have all the followers of the Mi family."

"Please sir, please don't be stingy and save us."

When he said this, he saw Mi Zhen bowing to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian hurriedly supported her.

This time it’s real mixing.

His hand also completely touched Mi Zhen's cold wrist.

Hmm, soft and fragrant, not bad.

Liu Jian helped Mi Zhen up, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Now that things have happened, we have only one way, and that is to set up a banquet, invite Zuo Rong and Que Xuan to the banquet, and explain the matter clearly at the banquet. I hope they can Don't take action against your people, because even if you don't continue to go south, but go north, Zhe Rong will definitely not let you go, because you have caught his eye, and he will never give up until he gets it. .”

"Throwing a banquet?"

Mi Zhen said with some embarrassment: "But, the little girl is just a member of the female class. Even if a banquet is held, I'm afraid they may not give me this face."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this. Zuo Rong has always been thinking about your wealth. He will definitely come to the banquet you set. At least it will be decent in terms of face. Moreover, he can also use this banquet to explore Your details."

"I'm just a prostitute. I'm afraid I can't understand Zuo Rong."

"Mr. Fanlao explained the matter to him during the banquet for me and helped me deal with it."

"Of course, you can rest assured. Since I have been favored by you, I will naturally support you at the banquet and help you promote peace talks with Zuo Rong."

Mi Zhen was very moved when she heard this.

"Sir, save all of my people. This little girl has nothing to repay. From now on, I will definitely obey your words and treat each other as a mentor."

……

Liangzhou, Nan'an.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Dong Zhuo has not been feeling well since he arrived in Liangzhou.

The terrain of Liangzhou is relatively high, and the air is thinner than that of the Central Plains. Moreover, it is a bitterly cold land. It is cold in winter. In summer, the sun shines high and the sunlight is direct, and the vegetation is yellow and withered.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he didn't think Liangzhou's climate was very good, because it had little impact on his strong body.

But he is now over 60 years old. As he set foot in Liangzhou again this time, he found that he was not used to the environment here.

Over the years, Dong Zhuo had lived in luxury in the capital. Although he had good food and good housing, his physique was far from what it was before.

Not long after arriving in Liangzhou, he contracted the cold.

Moreover, his cold was quite severe, and he never felt well despite taking medicine.

But Dong Zhuo still had a strong character. Although he was ill, he still had to command the soldiers of the three armies to fight against the rebels.

Moreover, after Dong Zhuo arrived in Liangzhou, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court did fight several beautiful turnarounds, and took care of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

But now there is some bad news coming from Guanzhong.

"Rebellion?"

Dong Zhuo coughed and looked at Liu Ai with a frown: "How big is it?"

"Well, it seems that the scale of the rebellion is not too large at present, but the number of rebels is constantly increasing."

"Before, there were only three or five groups of people, but now it has turned into more than ten groups. Prime Minister, I feel that this is not a good sign."
