Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 306 Assassin Zhang Ren
In the evening Yang Biao took a thin young man into Situ's study.

"My lords, I brought that man!"

Yang Biao pointed to the young man beside him, and introduced: "His name is Zhang Ren, and he is my brother's nephew!"

Zhang Ren, courtesy name Gongyi, was born in Shu County, Yizhou, and Zhang Xiu's younger brother.

This person has little ambition and is capable, but unfortunately he was born in a poor family and has no connections, so after Yicheng came down from the mountain, he came to Hongnong to join his uncle Yang Mao.

Yang Mao is a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, and he is cousin to Wei Wei Yang Biao.

And when Yang Biao learned that Zhang Ren was very powerful, he went to test it out. Yang Biao found that Zhang Ren had a strong desire for fame, and he didn't have a good impression of Dong Zhuo, so he asked him to pretend to be a servant to assassinate Dong Zhuo. idea.

Zhang Ren looked very ordinary on the outside, but he had the aura of calmness on the spot. He held Wang Yun and Xun Shuang in a salute, and then quietly stood aside.

Wang Yun looked at it a few times and couldn't help being a little surprised. He thought that this young man's temperament was calm, and he was born to be an assassin.

It's just that if you have a good heart, it's useless to have no powerful means. After all, the person he wants to assassinate is Dong Zhuo, who is not weak in force, so Zhang Ren's thin figure still makes Wang Yun a little suspicious.

Wang Yun glanced at the old man, and then Xun Shuang immediately understood his thoughts, stood up and asked, "Since you are a junior of your clan, you should be trustworthy, but... don't know how powerful it is?"

In fact, Xun Shuang saw Zhang Ren's too thin body, and was also worried about whether he was qualified for the assassination mission.

As soon as Xun Shuang finished his questioning, Yang Biao burst out laughing.

"Zhang Ren, why don't you hurry up and show off your skills, and show the two adults what you are capable of!"

After Zhang Ren heard the words, he inspected the room and found a large bookshelf against the wall, which was full of bamboo slips.

So without saying a word, he walked over and lifted the bookshelf with one hand.

"A strong man is so powerful!"

Wang Yun praised loudly, this bookshelf is made of jujube wood, it must weigh more than a hundred catties, and the key is also filled with bamboo slips, so it can't weigh more than three hundred catties.

And Zhang Ren lifted the bookshelf with only one arm, and he lifted the weight lightly without causing any confusion on the letters on it.

This supernatural power can't be done by ordinary people.

Xun Shuang was also amazed after seeing it, he never imagined that there was such an astonishing power hidden in that thin and thin body.

And because of Zhang Ren's thin body, he would not be noticed by pretending to be a servant.

"Great, with Zhang Zhuangshi's help, this assassination plan will definitely be foolproof!"

As soon as Xun Shuang's words fell, Zhang Ren also put down the letter, and stood back to his original position after cupping his fists respectfully.

With an ordinary appearance but calm and calm, powerful but unobtrusive, he is an excellent candidate to be an assassin.

Seeing that both Xun Shuang and Wang Yun showed satisfied smiles, Yang Biao decided to fulfill the promise he had made to Zhang Ren.

"My lords!"

Yang Biao bowed his hands politely, and said: "Zhang Ren risked his life to assassinate Dong Bandit. If he succeeds, I hope the two adults will support him a lot!"

"What's so difficult about this!" Wang Yun agreed immediately, "As long as you kill Dong Zhuo, you have made a great contribution. If you want any reward, just ask! And even if you miss, the old man and the others will definitely protect you Zhang No worries for the rest of my life!"

Only those who are rewarded heavily can be brave, Wang Yun firmly believes that, so he didn't intend to treat anyone who participated in the operation badly from the very beginning.

After getting Wang Yun's promise, Yang Biao patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder as if he were his own nephew.

Yang Biao said: "Master Situ is the head of the hundred officials. After the matter is completed, just tell me what official position you want!"

Zhang Ren thought for a while and replied: "I am confident in my military strength and proficient in military tactics. I hope to be a general after I succeed!"

"No problem!" Wang Yun agreed again without any hesitation: "The old man is short of a general who can command the army. After the matter is completed, all the captured Xiliang soldiers will be handed over to you to command!"

"Thank you, Master Situ, for your cultivation!" Zhang Ren was also very excited when he heard that he could really become a general, and he cupped his fists to thank him on the spot.

That night, Wang Yun and the three of them once again explained the details of the day of the sacrifice to Zhang Ren, and specifically instructed that once the assassination plan fails, Zhang Ren must not reveal that there is an instigator behind him.

This basically declared that if the plan fails, Zhang Ren will die.

Zhang Ren naturally knows the truth of seeking wealth and risk, and he has been taught by his master since he was a child that he must be honest in life, and since he agreed to the conditions, he would never betray his employer.

When they left that night, Zhang Ren and Yang Biao walked together, but neither of them spoke.

Yang Biao was calculating how much the Yang family would be affected if the assassination plan failed.

Thinking that Dong Zhuo was accompanied by Yan Xing that day, if Zhang Ren missed and Yan Xing couldn't make up for Dong Zhuo, then he would point the knife at Zhang Ren to avoid future troubles.

In this way, Dong Zhuo had no evidence, even if he guessed that Wang, Xunyang and the other three were responsible for the trouble, he would not retaliate too harshly.

And this matter was also agreed between Wang Yun and Han Sui during the day, so Yan Xing was not only an alternative plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but also a key deployment to erase their flaws.

As long as the assassination plan is successful, the Yang family will officially become a member of Luoyang City, and even if it fails, they will lose some money at most.

Thinking of this, Yang Biao's mood finally stabilized a lot.

At this time, Zhang Ren's mood was extremely complicated and excited.

Zhang Ren was born in a poor family, but since he was a child, he aspired to honor his ancestors. Shu County, Yizhou is his hometown, and his initial dream was to be a captain in the city defense camp of Shu County.

The captain of a county is the second most senior official under the prefect. For a poor background like Zhang Ren, if he wants to realize his dream, he does not know how many years he will have to struggle.

In order to realize his ideal faster, Zhang Ren came to Hongnong to ask his uncle for help.

But the aristocratic family has many rules, how can it be so easy to arrange, so I can only stay in the Yang family manor temporarily as a gun stick teacher.

A teaching position was definitely not what Zhang Ren wanted, and when he learned that his elder brother Zhang Xiu was working in Luoyang City, he immediately went to look for it.

But when I arrived in Luoyang, I found out that Zhang Xiu had died in the prison camp after many inquiries. Of course, Zhang Xiu was not dead. Know this.

So when he learned that his elder brother was dead, Zhang Ren had no choice but to go back to Yang's family. At this time, Yang Biao was looking for someone with strong military strength everywhere, so Zhang Ren got in touch with Yang Biao on the recommendation of his clan member Yang Mao.

After seeing Zhang Ren's force, Yang Biao was very satisfied, and then asked him for an assassination mission. Yang Biao would definitely not tell him who to assassinate at first, but he set a high price for the job.

Zhang Ren wanted to get ahead, and when he heard that he could become an official after completing the task, he was moved.
