The next day, early in the morning.

At dawn, Zhang Xiu got up and left Ping'an Inn with CAI Mao and Huang Zhao. Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Xiu got a reply from the Cai family. The Cai family had already started to prepare the caravan and would send the conditions Cai Mao promised as soon as possible.

The Cai family suffered a great loss in this matter.

But Cai Mao is the owner of the Cai family and the leader of the Cai family. Cai Mao is in the hands of Zhang Xiu, and the Cai family is blackmailed by Zhang Xiu. Even if they break their teeth, they can only swallow them.

A group of people quickly on their way, soon came to the north gate of Xiangyang City.

At the gate, Kuai Liang stood with his head high.

Today's Kuai Liang, dressed in a black robe, with a sword hanging from his waist and a golden crown on his head, has an air of dignity. He saw Zhang Xiu riding his horse, with a smile on his face, went up to the front and said, "General Zhang."

Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted. She replied, "Mr. Kuai!"

Kuai Liang said with a smile: "this time general Zhang went to Xiangyang, he not only got the area to the north of Yuyang County, Nanyang County, but also got many other benefits. Since then, the defense to the north of Nanyang County has relied on General Zhang. "

Zhang Xiu said, "it's duty bound!"

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said sincerely: "Mr. Kuai has the ability to manage the country and help the world, but Liu Biao is old and has no enterprising spirit. Under Liu Biao's command, Mr. Kuai is a bit of a stooper. If one day Mr. Kuai doesn't like to be in Jingzhou, the door of Zhang Xiu will always be open to him. "

Kuai Liang said, "General Zhang, thank you."

Regardless of the positions of both sides, Kuai Liang also appreciates Zhang Xiu.

It's not easy for Kuai Liang to do things without rules. It's more difficult for him to do things without rules. For example, when Zhang Xiu goes to a banquet, she dares to tear her face with Liu Biao and scold Liu Biao out loud; when Zhang Xiu negotiates with Liu Biao, she dares to throw her face out, and the lion opens her mouth and grabs benefits regardless of everything.

On the contrary, Liu Biao, because of his face, is very difficult to do things.

Therefore, Kuai Liang is optimistic about Zhang Xiu.

It's just that both sides have their own positions, and his appreciation of Zhang Xiu is just thinking about it.

Zhang Xiu said a word to woo Kuai Liang, but she didn't say much. Nowadays, it is almost impossible for Kuai Liang to play for him. What Zhang Xiu can do is to have a good relationship with the other party and lay the foundation for the future.

"Goodbye, Mr. Kuai!"

Zhang Xiu said a voice, then turn over to mount a horse.

Huang Zhao and his party followed Zhang Xiu and quickly went out of the north gate to the north of Nanyang County.

Kuai Liang looks at Zhang Xiu's back when she leaves. He has a feeling in his heart. The next time I see Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu will not be as down and out as she is today, and will surely undergo earth shaking changes.

But all this has nothing to do with Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang turns back to the city and goes to the prefecture to reply to Liu Biao.

Zhang Xiu takes people on her way. After about half an hour, she comes to a post station. Next to the post station, there was a pavilion in which a handsome young man stood.

This person is Xu Shu.

Xu Shu knew yesterday afternoon that Zhang Xiu was leaving Xiangyang, so he left the city early to wait. Xu Shu already knew the contents of the negotiation between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, and he was happy for Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu arrived, Xu Shu walked out of the pavilion, led the horse to Zhang Xiu and said respectfully, "Lord!"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "you don't have to be polite, sir. Let's go back to Nanyang."

"Here it is

Xu Shu turned over and went on his way.

This scene fell into the eyes of CAI Mao in the rear. He knew Xu Shu. He was shocked to see Xu Shu calling Zhang Xiu "Lord" and said, "Xu Yuanzhi, when did you submit to Zhang Xiu? My Lord has recruited you several times, but you refuse. Unexpectedly, you should follow Zhang Xiu. "

He never thought that Xu Shu, such a proud man, chose Zhang Xiu.

You know, Zhang Xiu was exiled to Nanyang County.

No matter how much Cai Mao was afraid of Zhang Xiu and how he was defeated by Zhang Xiu, from the bottom of his heart, Cai Mao despised Zhang Xiu. In CAI Mao's eyes, Zhang Xiu is a clay leg.

A Wufu, he despised.

Even if Zhang Xiu is powerful, Cai Mao despises her.

Seeing Cai Mao's expression, Xu Shu said with a smile, "you choose your minister, and I also choose you. It's normal for the common people to submit to the Lord. Do I have to become an official if Liu Jingzhou is not conquered? Since ancient times, it has always been the case that good birds choose trees to live in, and good officials choose their masters to do things. "

Cai Mao's face was embarrassed.

Zhang Xiu for Cai Mao's surprise, just smile, no more words. At this time, Zhang Xiu looked back and saw that the rear was empty and disappointed. When he saw Huang Yueying yesterday, he invited her to go north.

One day yesterday, I didn't hear from Huang Yueying.

Now, I don't see it either.

Zhang Xiu thought that Huang Yueying would not go north, so she was disappointed.Xu Shu noticed the difference of Zhang Xiu and said, "Lord, what's the matter?"

"It's all right, it's all right."

With a smile, Zhang Xiu adjusted her mind and led the people on their way. Walking forward less than a quarter of an hour, suddenly a soldier said loudly: "general, there is a team of people in front of us blocking our way."

Zhang Xiu looked up and saw a group of people in black standing on the official road 30 steps away. With a cursory scan, there were about 30 people in black in front of him.

A person is holding an iron sword, a pair of murderous look.

At this time, a middle-aged man rode out.

When Zhang Xiu saw the middle-aged man, she immediately understood the reason. Because it's not other people who drive out, it's Yi nationality.

The night before yesterday, Yi Ji was humiliated and resented by Zhang Xiu. But he didn't dare to use force in the city, so when Zhang Xiu left Xiangyang, he took people to rob and kill Zhang Xiu and wanted to revenge.

Zhang Xiu's expression was calm, and there was no panic in her eyes. She said, "Huang Zhao, go to Mr. Xu's side to protect his safety. You can get hurt, but Mr. Xu can't get hurt. "

"The end will understand!"

Huang Zhao holds his fist and comes to Xu Shu. He draws his sword out of the sheath and looks alert.

But Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Lord, you must endure and protect your humble position. I used to be a Ranger, and I used to fight everywhere. Although he has not killed people for many years, his sword is still sharp and never rusted. In this war, I will fight side by side with my Lord. "

"Well, you and I will join hands against the enemy."

Zhang Xiu is bold and brave.

He drove his horse forward, not long time, less than ten steps away from Yiji. He mentioned a breath, Lang said: "Yi Ji, you bring people to rob and kill this general, not afraid of Liu Biao, do you know?"

Yi Ji's eyes were filled with hatred and said coldly, "so what? I gave up. Zhang Xiu, there are less than ten soldiers around you. I have brought more than 30 warriors. Today, I'm going to make you hate it. "

Zhang Xiu said: "I'd like to see if you have the ability. But are you going to kill Cai Mao? "

This is Zhang Xiu's trial.

Yi Ji said: "only kill you, not Cai Mao."

With a smile on her lips, Zhang Xiu immediately arranged for a soldier to escort Cai Mao to one side. Not only that, Zhang Xiu even ordered the soldiers to pull out the knife and put it on Cai Mao's neck.

This is to prevent the Iraqis from arranging people to save Cai Mao. As long as Cai Mao is there, Zhang Xiu will have hostages, Liu Biao will carry out the contract, and the Cai family dare not go back. Once Cai Mao is lost, all treaties will be void.

Yi Ji saw Zhang Xiu's way of doing it, disdaining to smile. He didn't care about CAI Mao's life and death, and ordered: "kill! Kill Zhang Xiu. "

The soldiers under his command were killed quickly.

At the moment when the soldiers under the Iraqi command are killed, Zhang Xiu takes out the golden spear and rushes out with a slap on the back of the horse.

"Kill

Zhang Xiu roared.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu is as relaxed as the wind and free as he likes. The samurai under Yi Ji's command is only ten steps away from Zhang Xiu. Such a distance, almost in the twinkling of an eye, has already met.

See a warrior rushed, Zhang Xiu low drink, tiger head golden gun in the air a shake, then mercilessly stab out.

"Puchi!"

The sharp point of the gun penetrates the warrior's throat precisely.

Zhang Xiu's hand was full of force, and immediately drew back the long gun. I saw the gun tip out of the moment, a canopy of red blood splashed out, and the warrior also immediately fell to the ground.
