Chapter 323 Zhang Zhao (2)

"Mr. Zhang's complexion is good. It seems that he has almost rested. The conditions here are simple, and Yangzhou is located in a remote place, so there is no good wine and tea to entertain Mr. Zhang. Please forgive me." Zhao Lei waited early. In the hall, as soon as Zhang Zhao came out, he immediately went up to greet him, and said with cupped hands.

Zhang Zhaodao: "It is already a blessing for Zibu to be received by Lord Inspector, not to mention that Zibu is also fleeing now, so he has a shelter, which is enough for Zibu. How dare you ask for anything else. Lord Inspector is really too polite, Zibu really can't afford it."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "There are no adults here tonight, only friends. Mr. Zhang is a well-known person in the country. I wonder if Mr. would be willing to make this vulgar person your friend?"

"What did your lord say? With your talents, you not only put down the Yellow Turban rebellion, but also made you a general, cleared out the ten permanent servants, shut down the Hulao, repelled Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, and unified Yangzhou. From this point of view, My lord is a man who stands up to heaven and earth, how can he be a vulgar person? Zibu is already a down and out person, and my lord still treats each other with courtesy, so naturally Zibu will not refuse such a friend."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, please take a seat!" Zhao Lei was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Zhao understood his reality so well.

So, Zhang Zhao took his wife and children to the table, and then his clans came to the table one after another. Accompanied by Zhao Lei, everyone ate a full meal.

After the banquet was over, Zhao Lei ordered people to send Zhang Zhao's clan back to the room one by one, and he personally sent Zhang Zhao back to the room.

"Zibu is just a commoner, but the lord has always treated him with courtesy. Zibu really doesn't know how to repay the lord." Zhang Zhao clasped his hands after Zhao Lei sent him back to the room in person.

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry about it. Zihan is a straightforward person, and he can do anything for a friend. You don't have to worry about such a small matter. Sir, it's late at night, sir, please hurry up." rest."

"My lord, go slowly!" Zhang Zhao said.

Looking at the back of Zhao Lei leaving, Zhang Zhao turned back to the room, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said to himself: "I thought Zhao Zihan was just a reckless bastard, but I didn't expect that his words and deeds were no less than ordinary soldiers. People. We met in Yangzhou today, is it really God’s will?”

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei arranged for some of his subordinates to stay in the government office and let them take care of Zhang Zhao and the others. He rode a horse and brought Cai Yan, Zhang Han and Zhao Yun to the beach. He was going to supervise Gao Lan and others. People, let's see if there are still people coming across the sea today.

When they arrived at the beach, they first inspected the tea shop built by Gao Lan and others, and then walked towards the coast.

"Wow! It's so beautiful. It turns out that this is the sea. It's so beautiful." Cai Yan's first reaction after seeing the sea was so strong. It was only a small amount, but when she saw the beautiful sea, she couldn't bear the joy in her heart, so she yelled out loudly.

Zhao Lei took Cai Yanqianqian's jade hand, ran forward quickly, brought Cai Yan to the sea water, and picked up the sea water and splashed it on Cai Yan's body, wet the hem of Cai Yan's dress , making the already beautiful Cai Yan even more charming because of the sea water.

Cai Yan also splashed sea water on Zhao Lei. The two young people enjoyed the happiness brought by the sea to the fullest, and finally they were almost soaked, so they stopped.

When the two changed, they completely forgot about Zhang Han and Zhao Yun who were behind them, while Zhang Han and Zhao Yun had no choice but to stay far away and give them a little private space.

Zhao Lei held Cai Yan's hand and sat on the beach, looking at the boundless sea, feeling extremely relieved.Then she turned her head and saw the wet clothes tightly attached to Cai Yan's body, highlighting her exquisite curves, a desire was aroused in her heart.Zhao Lei embraced Cai Yan lightly, and the two sat on the beach like that, looking at the sea, as if the whole world belonged to them.

"Lord!"

The voice from behind broke the peace, Zhao Lei slowly let go of Cai Yan, turned his head to look over, saw that it was Gao Lan, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Lan said: "Mr. Zhang has come and said that he has something important to ask the lord."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Lei's mouth, and he turned to Cai Yan who was beside him and said, "Yan'er, you go back to the government first, and I will come back as soon as I go."

Cai Yan nodded, turned and left.

Zhao Lei called Zhang Han and Zhao Yun to follow Gao Lan to a forest by the sea. Seeing Zhang Zhao sitting under the shade of a tree, he walked straight over.

Seeing Zhao Lei approaching from a distance, Zhang Zhao hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "See Lord Inspector!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Mister, did you rest well last night?"

"Thanks to my lord, my body recovered yesterday. I don't know if my lord is free now?"

"En!" Zhao Lei nodded, walked to Zhang Zhao's side, pointed to a tree shade and said, "Sir, please sit down, we will talk slowly here."

After the two sat down, they heard Zhang Zhao say: "The governor built the tea shop here to welcome the Xuzhou people who came from the east?"

Zhao Lei didn't deny it, and said heartily, "Exactly!"

Zhang Zhao nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Master Inspector is as open-minded as a valley, and Zibu really admires him. Zibu is here to thank you for those people who came across the river."

Zhao Lei said: "It's just a small effort, and it's something that benefits the common people. Naturally, I won't ignore those common people."

"My lord has become more and more famous since he flattened the Yellow Turban, punished eunuchs, and settled Yangzhou. I heard that the imperial court once recruited a lord to work in the court. He ranked among the three princes, but he was rejected by the lord, and he wanted to come to Yangzhou to be the governor of Yangzhou. What's the matter?"

"Well, there is indeed such a thing." Zhao Lei said.

"Your Excellency does not want high-ranking officials and generous salary, but is willing to be the governor. Is Your Excellency planning to stay in Yangzhou forever?"

Zhao Lei seemed to have heard Zhang Zhao's words, smiled immediately, and replied loudly: "Sir, although Yangzhou is located in a remote place, far away from the Central Plains, it can become a place to hide from the world. Otherwise, sir would not cross the river from Xuzhou." I have come here. The reason why I choose to come to Yangzhou is that I don’t want to be a Sangong because Yangzhou has a unique geographical location. If Yangzhou can be well managed, it will become a pure land. Isn’t it good to stay in this pure land forever? ?”

Zhang Zhao sneered, and said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, bandits are everywhere, and the Central Plains have suffered greatly. Not only did the imperial court not show compassion to the people, but it also openly issued a decree to tax the world's land, which directly led to disputes among the princes of the world. If this continues If it continues, I am afraid that the world will inevitably fall into chaos again, and then capable people will inevitably rise up one after another, don't you want to take advantage of this time when the heroes are fighting for hegemony and do some great things?"

Zhao Lei smiled secretly in his heart, but said blankly: "I think so, but Yangzhou is located in a remote place, and the people are few and poor. How can I compete for the world?"

Zhang Zhao chuckled, and said slowly, "With your lord's reputation today, as long as you go up to the top, why don't you worry about the soldiers coming? As long as you sit firmly in Yangzhou, Yangzhou will become more stable, and the people in the Central Plains who came to avoid chaos There will definitely be an endless stream. When I was in Guangling, I heard about your lord's deeds in Yangzhou. Your lord just arrived in Wu County, and it took less than a month to eradicate the local family, making the people of the county out of the fire and water. This kind of courage is definitely not something ordinary people can have.”

After hearing this, Zhao Lei thought to himself: "I didn't expect Zhang Zhao to know me so well, I have to be more careful when I speak."

Zhang Zhao went on to say: "Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, recruited me three times to be the master bookkeeper, but I declined all of them politely. The reason why I brought the clan across the river was to meet my lord. Your strategy and courage have far surpassed mine. In addition, the adults treated me with more courtesy, which made me firmer in my belief. Therefore, Zibu wants to use what he has learned in his life to help the adults. I wonder if the adults are willing to accept me, a down and out person?"

Zhao Lei felt very surprised when he heard this. He never thought that Zhang Zhao would take the initiative to vote before he even opened his mouth. He immediately suppressed the joy and surprise in his heart, and asked with his hands clasped, "Are you serious when you say this, sir?"

"A real man keeps his word. Once Zibu utters this word, he will never break his word." Seeing that Zhao Lei still had some concerns, Zhang Zhao stood up, bowed to Zhao Lei, and then said, "My lord, if you Don't give up, Zibu is willing to follow you around from now on, and swear allegiance to you to the death."

Zhao Lei saw that Zhang Zhao's expression definitely didn't look like he was trying to make fun of him, so he immediately laughed and said, "I got Zibu, big things can help."

"My lord!" Zhang Zhao bowed to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei held Zhang Zhao's hand tightly, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he called softly, "Mr. Zhang..."

The eyes of the two people flowed, and they stared at each other for a long time. That kind of eyes seemed to be the feeling of seeing each other late.

After a long time, the two were separated from each other.
