I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Surprised by Huang Zhong
Chapter 139 Surprised by Huang Zhong
Zhen Yi's arrival so soon was completely unexpected by Meng Chen.

But this is also good, after all, Zhen Yi represents Yuan Shao of Jizhou, some things cannot be done clearly, but can be done secretly.

In the reception room of the Governor's Mansion, Zhen Yi looked very nervous.

Originally, he wanted to meet Shen Wansan, the president of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce, but now he was taken directly to the Governor's Mansion.

Besides, this wait is only half a day, Zhen Yi doesn't have any confidence in his heart!

Zhen Yi was more or less aware of the friction between Yuan Shao and Meng Chen. If Meng Chen deliberately made things difficult this time, he would not even be able to make it back alive.

Although the two armies are not envoys, Zhen Yi is not Yuan Shao's envoy, and there is no direct conflict between the two sides.

If Meng Chen is unhappy, he can be dealt with just by finding any excuse.

Zhen Yi had his lunch in the living room of the Governor's Mansion, Zhen Yi couldn't describe this meal in words.

After living for decades, this meal completely changed Zhen Yi's cognition.

Just as Zhen Yi was reminiscing, a burst of hurried footsteps woke him up.

Not long after, Shen Wansan's obese body appeared in front of Zhen Yi's eyes.

Behind Shen Wansan, an imposing young man entered immediately.

"Grassman Zhen Yi, pay homage to Governor Meng."

"I'm busy with business today, Patriarch Zhen has been waiting for a long time."

"It's worth waiting as long as you can get the chance to be recruited by the governor."

Meng Chen laughed. On the surface, Zhen Yi looked harmless to humans and animals, but he was a cunning old man.

Just these two simple sentences are enough to prove Zhen Yi's tact.

The two sides exchanged polite greetings, and then a servant brought tea, Meng Chen didn't speak, and Zhen Yi didn't dare to speak easily, the air seemed to freeze for a while.

After a long time, a shady literati on the right entered, and upon seeing it, Zhen Yi thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing it there for a while.

"Brother Zhen, I'm really sorry. I delayed Brother Zhen for half a day to report to the governor this morning." Mi Zhu hurriedly apologized to Zhen Yi as soon as he entered.

As soon as this remark came out, Zhen Yi finally realized that this person was Xiu Mi Zhu from the Mi family in Xuzhou.

The Mi family and the Zhen family have business contacts, but why Mi Zhu looks like this makes Zhen Yi puzzled.

"Hahaha, Brother Zizhong is the president of the Western Regions Branch of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce. He has just returned from the Western Regions. It has been very hard work."

"Working for the Lord, no hard work!"

The two conversations between Meng Chen and Mi Zhu revealed enough information that Zhen Yi would be a little overwhelmed for a while.

Is it suitable for the Mi family to join Mengchen?There was no sound at all.

"Zhu, I heard that Brother Zhen wants to join the club, but is he serious?" Suddenly, Mi Zhu took the lead in speaking, which made Zhen Yi a little uncomfortable.

Just like that, Mi Zhu stared at Zhen Yi again and again, and after a while, Mi Zhu said with a smile:
"My lord, Zhu thinks that Brother Zhen is not Yuan Shao's secret work."

"Well, since brother Zizhong guarantees, then follow the rules."

The conversation in a few words made Zhen Yi's back sweat coldly, if Mi Zhu hadn't spoken for him, Meng Chen would have regarded himself as a spy sent by Yuan Shao.

"Thank you..." Zhen Yi just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Meng Chen.

"The governor doesn't understand business matters. Since brother Zizhong is the guarantee, you and the three of you can discuss it on your own."

After saying this, Meng Chen got up and left, leaving behind Shen Wansan, Mi Zhu, and Zhen Yi to discuss specific things.

Today's arrangement is intentional by Meng Chen, one is to deter Zhen Yi, and the other is to create opportunities for Mi Zhu.

Although the Mi family and the Zhen family are not particularly familiar with each other, Zhen Yi can accept this kind of favor today.

After some intense bargaining, and under Mi Zhu's mediation, the Zhen family successfully joined the Penguin Chamber of Commerce and obtained the monopoly of sales in Jizhou.

Of course, the Zhen family needed to pay a huge sum of money for this, but in Zhen Yi's view, all of this was worth it.

In the backyard, Meng Chen was playing mahjong leisurely with several beauties.

"Master Hou tricked Zhen's family into joining the club, why did he recruit elder brother?" Mi Zhen said intentionally while touching the cards.

"Hehe, Miss San's words are wrong. What is deception? It was Zhen Yi who came to Chang'an to ask for membership."

After playing the cards in his hand, Meng Chen said again: "Brother Zizhong is a subordinate of this Marquis, so it is only natural for him to do things for him..."

"Nonsense!" Cai Wenji said with a smile while looking at the six barrels shot by Meng Chen.

"Wait a minute, Miss Ben is fooling around too." Mi Zhu answered.

"That...that..." Fu Shou hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"What? One shot and three shots? Why is Ben Hou so unlucky!" Meng Chen covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

Originally, Mengchen wanted to let Cai Wenji go, but he didn't expect to be so lucky!

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Meng Chen's helpless appearance, there was a burst of silver bell-like laughter from the backyard.

As the saying goes, the hero's tomb in the beauty's nest, the life of accompanying the beauty in the backyard every day, was soon interrupted by the news from Jingzhou.

"My lord, the military adviser is asking to see Mr. Jia." Meng Shan's voice came, and Meng Chen frowned involuntarily.

According to past habits, Liu Bowen and Jia Xu would never come here at the same time, and today's visit must be something urgent.

"My lord, let's go, my sister and I just joined the table together." Cai Yan said, which was regarded as a relief for Meng Chen.

Casting apologetic gazes at the beauties, Meng Chen quickly walked towards the study room, where Liu Bowen and Jia Xu were discussing countermeasures.

"Military teacher, Mr. Wen He, what happened?" Meng Chen's voice had already passed before the men arrived.

Seeing Meng Chen enter, Liu Bowen directly entered the topic!

"My lord, news came from Jingzhou that Shi A missed and was almost captured, but now he is lurking."

"Oh? Shi Ake is an expert in this field, how could he miss it?"

"Suddenly there is an extra strong general beside Liu Biao, who is good at wielding big swords and proficient in archery. His surname is..." Before Liu Bowen finished speaking, Meng Chen preempted him.

"Surname Huang Mingzhong, promoted from Han Dynasty?" Meng Chen blurted out.

"It's this man!"

"Hiss, that's not surprising. This person is very skilled in martial arts. I've heard someone mention it before. However, Huang Zhong was pushed out by others, so how could he appear beside Liu Biao?"

Meng Chen lowered his head, thinking for a while without a clue.

"By the way, what's the matter with Mr. Wenhe?"

"Liu Zhang sent envoys to Xiangyang to join forces with Liu Biao." Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

"Tracking Hanzhong? Fatty Liu is out of his mind!" Meng Chen cursed angrily.

However, if these two things are connected, maybe it's not Liu Zhang's brain showing off.

However, the failure of the assassination and the sending of an envoy by Liu Zhang, can this kind of coincidence be combined?
"My lord, this matter is extraordinary, Shi A's ability should not be missed." Liu Bowen spoke again, reminding Meng Chen.

"Well, I don't think such a strange thing is easy."

Once again bowed his head and pondered for a while, Meng Chen said: "The order will not be accepted at night, and the investigation will start from inside Chang'an. The Marquis will have a look at that time, who has such courage."
