During the dinner, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty stood in front of the main seat, raised his wine glass and said to everyone in the audience

"My dear friends, I was in trouble at the hands of Dong Zhuo. I couldn't sleep at night, I was restless, and I was in panic. Fortunately, you all saved me from the sea of ​​suffering and allowed me to see the light of day again. Here, I would like to offer you a drink.

Water and wine to express my feelings!"

Everyone in the audience also shouted in unison

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Afterwards, he drank it all in one gulp. Of course, Wen Du did not say thank you, and because he was drunk immediately after touching the wine, he just poured a glass of water and put it in front of his eyes to show off.

"My dear friends, there are no rules for this celebration banquet tonight. Please enjoy it to your heart's content!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty spoke, everyone immediately got into the mood, and the whole place started to become noisy in an instant...

"Brother Seti, why are you so depressed? Is there anything on your mind?"

After Huang Gai drank a bowl of wine boldly, he looked at Wen Du across from him and could clearly feel something strange about him.

"Nothing, I just don't like this kind of occasion."

“Come a few times and you’ll get used to it!

"That's you, the old general, right? Don't bring me in."

Although Huang Gai said he was full of confidence, Wen Du was not fooled. He shook his head and turned to ask Cheng Pu.

"How is the situation in Luoyang City?"

Hearing this question, the smile on Huang Gai's face, who was drinking recklessly, disappeared. He placed the wine glass on the table, and Cheng Pu next to him opened his mouth to answer.

"It's not good. Following your instructions, Gongfu and I led all our soldiers to prepare buckets, but the time to break the city was still a little slow. Although we have tried our best to put out the fire, many imperial tombs and

The palace was burned down by the fire, and the most important thing is that we found at least twenty corpses..."

"How did you arrange the bodies?"

"They dug pits and buried them, and there were children crying next to several of the bodies."

"People cannot be resurrected after death, so we can only send them off like this."

At this time, Cheng Pu cupped his fists at Sun Jian and said

"These children are helpless, so Gong Fu and I discussed it. As long as the lord agrees, we will take them back. We will pay for the daily food and clothing ourselves, and we will never trouble the lord!"

"Huang Gai also asks the lord to agree!"

The two looked at Sun Jian together. Sun Jian took a sip of wine, and then looked at the two of them.

"You two are my good brothers, Sun Jian, through life and death. Why can't I agree? Besides, this is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."

"Thank you, lord!"

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I have a condition."

"Lord, please speak."

"People, you can take them back, but I will pay for their daily necessities! I can still afford a few dolls."

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha"

"Thank you, lord!"

"Come on, do it!"

The three of them all raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, while Wen Du beside him just looked at them silently. After they finished drinking, he spoke to Sun Jian.

"Lord, take me to the prison."

"now go?"

"Look, everyone is drinking here, so now is the best time to "treasure hunt". Let the two generals come together."

"Okay, let's go and join in the fun."

"Okay, come with me!"

Sun Jian took the other three people and started walking to the prison...

"who?!"

The four jailers heard the noise and pointed their guns at the entrance. Then Sun Jian and the other four walked in.

"Don't be nervous, it's me Sun Jian"

Seeing Sun Jian's arrival, the jailers quickly put away their weapons

"It turns out to be General Sun. I have offended you. Please forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter, this only proves that you are fulfilling your duties! It's a good thing!"

"The general is so complimentary"

"We want to go in and see the prisoner, please step aside first."

"This... forgive me for not agreeing. The people imprisoned here are Dong Zhuo's accomplices. Leader Yuan has an order. No one is allowed to enter without his permission."

After hearing this, Sun Jian's voice increased.

"What? You listen to Yuan Shao's words, but my Sun Jian's words won't work?"

The jailers who heard Sun Jian's anger immediately clasped their fists and saluted.

"General, forgive me. I was just following orders."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Wen Du patted Sun Jian on the shoulder from behind.

"Don't be afraid. General Sun doesn't mean anything malicious. Everyone has worked hard. Take this little money and have a drink."

With that said, Wen Du took out a few coins from his sleeves and put them in the hands of the jailer.

"General, isn't this appropriate..."

"There's nothing wrong. Did you hear it? There are sounds of the princes drinking and having fun outside. Did they bring you drinks? Did they give you any rewards?"

The jailers all shook their heads.

"Then take it, brothers, take it to buy a glass of wine, buy some clothes for your wife at home, buy some food for your children, or take it home to honor your parents."

"But……"

"Brother Zhang, take it, these few ingots of silver are enough for the four of us to have a year's salary."

"Brother Zhang, I want to buy a nice dress for my wife, please take it."

"Yes, Brother Zhang, I also want to buy some gifts for my mother."

The one who is called Brother Zhang in the front has not yet made up his mind, but the brother in the back has already accepted it.

"Hey, little man Zhang Yang, thank you general for the reward."

Zhang Yang also felt a bit "forced and helpless" and chose to accept the bribe.

"Are all three of you his subordinates?"

Wen Du became interested in the four people in front of him, and the three people behind him all shook their heads, and one of them spoke back.

"The four of us all come from the same village. The three of us have been playful since we were young, and we didn't study hard. We basically don't know a single Chinese character. But Brother Zhang is different. He is not only knowledgeable, but also has good skills. Originally,

I was an official in Luoyang City, but I bumped into a powerful family in order to save people. I was sent to a frontier fortress at first. However, the government officials admired Brother Zhang as a person, so they took care of everything and smoothed the relationship, and finally

I brought Brother Zhang here as a jailer..."

"I see..."

After hearing the whole story, Wen Du admired Zhang Yang more and more.

"Can we go in now?"

"Okay, but I have to go in and keep an eye on you!"

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, Wen Du naturally agreed. It would be better to say that he wished it was like this.

"Come in, all four of you. It just so happens that you can listen to our conversation."

After that, the group of people walked into the prison.

"General, they are right here"

"Open the door"

"General, is this inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Eight of us are afraid of three of them?"

"I see……"

Zhang Yang stepped forward and opened the cell door, and then everyone walked in.

"General Sun, you are fine."
