The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"You are the Yellow Turban Army here? I brought the money, where is my elder brother and my family, Master Cai Mao?"

The little brother was half-speaking, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly changed his words.

Chapter 62 Trading outside the city

The boy's voice was quite crisp, and it sounded like a boy's voice.

But at this moment, Liu Zheng didn't pay attention to these things, but just glanced at the young man who spoke.

Wearing a suit of armor, he is not tall, a bit shorter than him, but has a handsome face and looks a little beautiful, not the kind of burly boy that should be.

"Are you from the Cai family?"

Although he felt something was wrong, Liu Zheng didn't think too much about it. He was more concerned about the boxes behind them, which contained the gold and pig iron he needed.

"Yes, I am the person sent by the Cai family. This general, you must be the famous Liu Zheng."

The young man sized up the people who came out of Runan City, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng spoke, the boy also said something to Liu Zheng, and he recognized Liu Zheng's identity at a glance.

This surprised Liu Zheng, and he became curious immediately, and looked at the young man twice more.

"You know me? Am I famous? Just a nobody."

"If the people who defeated the prefect of Qin Jie and killed Zhu Jun, one of the three great Zhonglang generals, can only be regarded as unknown soldiers, then there will be no celebrities in this world."

After the young man heard Liu Zheng's words, he refuted Liu Zheng without thinking.

Liu Zheng was even more surprised when he heard his words, but he could understand after thinking about it. After all, it has been several days since he defeated Qin Jie and beheaded Zhu Jun.

The news of him occupying Runan City has spread throughout Runan County, and the news of Zhu Jun's beheading has already spread throughout Jingzhou, and even all nearby states and counties.

I'm afraid that the emperor of Luoyang and Zhang Jiao of Jizhou have already known the news.

Liu Zheng has also become famous, letting more people know that there are people like him in this world, but this is not good news.He beheaded Zhu Jun, a Zhonglang general, so he was on the official army's must-kill list.

The next road will become more and more difficult, at least it is unlikely to take refuge in the imperial court, and he can only go to the dark with the rebels like the Yellow Turban Army.

"It seems that I have become a celebrity. I'm afraid I'm not a celebrity, but a villain."

Liu Zheng laughed at himself.

"You are joking, the general. Originally, there was only Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang as a big villain. Now your reputation has surpassed Zhang Mancheng. Your future is limitless."

The young man looked at Liu Zheng, and said to Liu Zheng respectfully, although he wanted to flatter him, but Liu Zheng also understood that at this time they must be trying to curry favor with Liu Zheng.

After all, Cai Mao's life is still in his hands. In order to save Cai Mao, they have to flatter Liu Zheng.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, have you brought what I want?"

Liu Zheng responded to the boy, and the boy took two steps back, then stretched out his hand, and opened one of the wooden boxes.

The wooden box was opened, and a golden light shone inside, and the gold ingots were placed neatly.

Liu Zheng didn't count the gold ingots carefully, but he could probably understand from a glance at the boxes that the number should not be much different.

"Well, okay, let's send someone to transport the things to the city."

Liu Zheng didn't even bother to check, so he just said something to the boy.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Liu Zheng wanted to collect the money, the boy immediately uttered a voice and stopped Liu Zheng's actions.

Let Liu Zheng turn his head to look at the boy, and start to look at him curiously again.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"The money can be given to you, but what about our Lord Cai Mao?"

"Oh, so I was worried about your Cai Mao, don't worry he's fine."

"The rules are like this. I have to see whether my lord is dead or alive. I can't just send you a letter and let us obediently hand over the money to you!"

So far, Liu Zheng has never let Cai Mao come out. The members of the Cai family have never seen Cai Mao alive. They will inevitably have scruples in their hearts, so it is reasonable to do so.

After Liu Zheng heard what the other party said, he also nodded and did not embarrass them. He turned his head to look at Zhou Cang and gave Zhou Cang a signal.

"Zhou Cang, go and bring Cai Mao over."

"Yes, he is handsome."

Zhou Cang immediately walked over to the dungeon, and not long after, Cai Mao was brought over, although he was still wearing the same clothes as when he was arrested.

But he was quite embarrassed, and he hadn't had a good bath for more than ten days, and he exuded a sour and smelly nausea.

When Cai Mao saw these members of the Cai family outside the city, a trace of joy appeared on his face, but the distance was relatively far, so Cai Mao did not rush over.

Xiao Ming was still in the hands of Liu Zheng and the Yellow Turbans, so Cai Mao didn't dare to act rashly.

The young man outside the city quickly took a long look at Cai Mao from a distance, his nervous heart was finally relieved a little.

"Okay, man, you have seen it too, send things in, man, you can take them away."

Liu Zheng was straightforward and didn't intend to embarrass the Cai family. Although he was a rebel of the Yellow Turban Army, he would still abide by the basic principles of faith.

With Liu Zheng's words, the young man rushed to order people to transport the wooden boxes here to the city.

Looking at a dozen large boxes, transported by the carriage, they gradually went to Runan City.

Liu Zheng was still a little bit excited. After all, it was a windfall, and the pig iron he urgently needed would be solved soon.

But when Liu Zheng looked at the ground outside the city, he saw the traces of the carriage wheels on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly realized something, and immediately yelled.

"stop!"

Liu Zheng frowned and stared at the carriage in front of him.

"What's the matter, handsome Qu?"

When Liu Zheng called out to stop, the young man who was walking in front immediately ran over to Liu Zheng's side, and asked Liu Zheng what was wrong.

"Open the box on this carriage and let me have a look."

Liu Zheng gave the boy an order without thinking.

"This guy is handsome, haven't you already seen it just now, there is nothing wrong with our box."

"Is there any problem, I'll check it out, open him!"

The young man's hesitant response to Liu Zheng made Liu Zheng more convinced that there was something wrong with the box in the carriage, and he immediately shouted again with a louder voice.

The boy then walked towards the box.

"Okay, I'll open it right away."

The boy approached the box, and then pulled the lock on the box, intending to lift the lid, but at this moment he nodded.

Immediately rushed to the back of the wooden box, drew out a knife, turned around and slashed at Liu Zheng's body.

Chapter 63 Boys and Girls

The whole process of the young man was very fast, and the long knife had already attacked Liu Zheng in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that Liu Zheng had been on guard for a long time. When he became suspicious of the carriage, he had already raised his vigilance.

When the boy slashed at him with a knife, he immediately turned to one side, avoiding the boy's shining knife.

Then he stretched out his hand, just reached the part where the young man's wrist was pinched, and hit it lightly, the young man's wrist was in pain, and he couldn't hold the long knife immediately.

The handle of the knife fell down, and Liu Zheng caught it with one hand, then swung his tail, lifted the long knife again, and put it on the boy's neck.

At the moment when the young man made his move, those private soldiers of the Cai family also launched an attack on Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army at this time.

Although there were only a few dozen people, without hesitation, they grabbed the long knife on the carriage and launched an attack on Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army, and the shouts of killing immediately sounded outside the city.

But after Liu Zheng subdued the boy in an instant, Liu Zheng yelled loudly.

"Stop, if you don't stop, I will kill this person and Cai Mao!"

Liu Zheng's words made the young man's face turn pale in an instant, and with a trembling voice, he ordered the private soldiers of the Cai family who were fighting the Yellow Turban Army to stop.

Fortunately, this battle has not yet reached a fever pitch. In addition, Liu Zheng is surrounded by a few masters. Zhou Cang, Xu Huang and others cannot be handled by ordinary people.

So there were no casualties on either side.

The most exciting thing was Cai Mao, he had finally hoped that his family members would come to rescue him, but before he could figure out what happened, he saw Liu Zheng and his family members start fighting.

He knew in his heart what kind of person Liu Zheng was, let alone dozens of private soldiers of the Cai family, even with ten or a hundred times more troops, it would be impossible to defeat Liu Zheng in Runan City.

Cai Mao felt a chill in his heart. Seeing that Liu Zheng and the people from the Cai family had temporarily stopped, he regained his composure and looked anxiously at Liu Zheng, wanting to know what happened.

"Zhou Cang, go and open the box on the carriage."

After subduing the boy, Liu Zheng immediately asked Zhou Cang to check the box on the carriage.Zhou Cang immediately opened the wooden box according to Liu Zheng's instructions.

As a result, as Liu Zheng expected, the box was empty.

The first box was empty, Zhou Cang was shocked, and then opened the next few boxes one after another.

As a result, except for the boxes containing pig iron that were actually full of pig iron, the boxes that were supposed to hold gold were all empty.

Moreover, even the first box of gold was not full at all. Except for some gold on the first floor, the bottom ones were all stones, which were separated by wooden boards and covered with silk cloth, so they could not be seen. come out.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng smiled instead of angry.

He looked at the boy in front of him with interest.

"I said, your Cai family is too powerful. Do you think I, Liu Zheng, are stupid, or do you think you are smarter than me, and you sent me away for thinking of using these empty boxes?"

When the young man was asked by Liu Zheng, he was also speechless for a while. He didn't know how embarrassed he was, but he still couldn't refute Liu Zheng.

On the contrary, Cai Mao, who was in a hurry, came over in a hurry, and when he saw the young man, he immediately turned pale with shock.

"Little sister! Why are you, second brother and third brother, why didn't they come?"

Cai Mao looked ugly, looking at the young man in front of him, but Liu Zheng was taken aback when he heard Cai Mao's words.

"Little sister? Younger sister? Female?"

Only then did Liu Zheng look again at the boy he had caught.

Oh no girl.

When Liu Zheng was still a little surprised, the boy finally blushed a little, then lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Cai Mao, on the other hand, was extremely nervous and hurriedly begged Liu Zheng for mercy.

"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, don't want to hurt my little sister's life, there must be some misunderstanding here, please allow me to ask."

Cai Mao was very nervous, for fear that Liu Zheng would be furious and kill them directly.

Liu Zheng didn't lose anything anyway, so he nodded and signaled Cai Mao to ask what's going on.

Cai Mao soon started talking with the girl here.

After Liu Zheng heard their conversation here, he understood what happened.

It turned out that Cai Mao's letter was indeed sent to Cai's family.

However, the members of the Cai family had a huge disagreement over the matter of spending [-] gold to rescue Cai Mao.

Although Cai Hao is the eldest son of Cai and the current head of the Cai family, he has two younger brothers named Cai Zhong and Cai He.

After Cai Zhong and Cai He received the letter from Cai Mao, they did not plan to spend [-] gold to rescue Cai Mao according to what the letter said.

Instead, he refused to rescue Cai Mao on the grounds that he did not know the authenticity of the letter.

In fact, they knew that the letter was true, and they were able to find out that Cai Mao was captured during the battle with Liu Zheng.

But the reason why they didn't rescue Cai Mao was also very straightforward.

The Cai family has great achievements, but the head of the Cai family is Cai Mao, only the eldest son is the one who really controls the Cai family, but if Cai Mao dies outside, the huge Cai family foundation will fall into the hands of Cai Zhong and Cai He .

So that's why they would rather Cai Mao die outside than want him to come back.

But Cai Yao's youngest sister, Cai Yao, is not as short-sighted as his two elder brothers.

Although Cai Mao is not a shrewd person, compared to Cai Zhong and Cai He, he is still slightly better than them. If Cai Mao is really killed by the Yellow Turban Army this time.

The Cai family is bound to fail in Jingzhou, and the huge family property will definitely be taken over by others.
