Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Zhang Chen walked into the front hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a charming woman being held down by two maids. The woman was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with the veil on her head removed. Her hair was a little messy, and her cheeks were slightly swollen, as if she had been slapped.

The woman's eyes were covered with tears, and her makeup was smudged, but she still looked noble like a lady from a noble family.

It was Zhen Jiang!

A woman stood by with her hands on her waist, and shouted at her arrogantly: "You bitch, you are still not honest at this time! If you want to die, don't implicate us. When the boss comes back later, we will see how to deal with you! You two, hold her down for me, and hand her over to the boss for punishment later!"

Zhang Chen saw this and was furious. He immediately rushed up and slapped the woman in the face.

"Ouch!" The old woman screamed. The slap made her dizzy and her eyes were full of stars.

She felt a burning pain on her right cheek. When she looked carefully, she found that there was a young general in armor and holding a spear in front of her.

The old woman was shocked: "Who... who are you? I warn you, don't mess around, the boss will be back soon!"

Zhang Chen sneered and said coldly: "He won't come back, he's dead!"

"What! What... what did you say!" The old woman panicked when she heard this.

The two maids also changed their faces.

Zhang Chen pointed the gun, and the tip of the gun was half an inch away from the throat of the old woman. She was so scared that she collapsed and fell to the ground.

"My Lord... please spare my life, please spare my life!"

After the old woman said this, the two maids also hurriedly let go of Zhen Jiang, knelt on the ground, trembling like a sieve, and kowtowed for mercy.

"Sir, sir, spare me! This... is none of our business. We were forced to do it by the thieves from Qingfeng Village!" The old woman was panicked and kept begging for mercy.

Zhang Chen didn't care about them at all. He came to Zhen Jiang and said with concern: "I'm sorry that I'm late. Miss Zhen was frightened."

Zhen Jiang had tears in her eyes and threw herself into Zhang Chen's arms excitedly.

Zhang Chen was at a loss for a moment and had to hug her gently, stroking her back and soothing her emotions.

After a while, Zhen Jiang's emotions eased a little. Perhaps she also realized that she had lost her composure. She took a step back and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for saving me. Otherwise, I would have been harassed by those thieves today."

As Zhen Jiang said this, she saw that she was still wearing the wedding dress. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, and immediately pulled the wedding dress off.

When Zhang Chen saw this, he hurriedly took off the cloak behind him and put it on her.

"Miss!"

A female voice suddenly came from outside the door, and a maid of thirteen or fourteen years old ran in quickly.

This was Zhen Jiang's maid Jinxiu. She was rescued by the soldiers and was worried about Zhen Jiang's safety, so she hurried here.

"Miss, are you okay? Did those thieves do anything to you... to you..."

Jinxiu's eyes were wet as she spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhen Jiang stroked her head and said, "Thanks to Master Zhang's army, we wiped out the bandits. Jinxiu, why don't you thank Master Zhang for saving your life."

"Master Zhang?" Jinxiu noticed Zhang Chen next to her, and when she saw him, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's you! You are that..."

"Jinxiu! Don't be rude!" Zhen Jiang saw that she was talking without restraint, and hurriedly stopped her.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss Jinxiu is just straightforward and innocent."

As Zhang Chen said this, he took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhen Jiang: "Miss Zhen, this jade pendant was accidentally dropped by you in the market this morning. Now it is returned to its original owner."

Zhen Jiang reached out to take the jade pendant and thanked Zhang Chen again.

At this time, Zhang He led a team of soldiers in and said, "Sir, the money, food and supplies in the camp have been counted. A total of 500,000 yuan, 300 stones of food, more than 600 horses, and countless other weapons and armor. It's a pity that the rear camp was burned, otherwise we could get a lot of food and grass."

A small bandit camp actually has so much money and food, which shows how many illegal activities it has done on weekdays!

Zhang Chen said with disgust: "Register all these things and transport them back to Yecheng. Burn this 'Qingfeng Village'!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chen said to Zhen Jiang: "Miss Zhen, it's getting late. Why don't you return to Yecheng with us? I will send someone to escort you back to Zhongshan tomorrow morning, okay?"

Zhen Jiang lowered her eyebrows and said shyly: "Everything is up to you, young master."

Zhang Chen immediately ordered someone to find a carriage to escort Zhen Jiang and Jinxiu back to Yecheng.

When the army returned to Yecheng, it was almost 12:00 p.m., Zhang Chen ordered Zhang He to lead the army back to the camp, and he drove the car himself to take Zhen Jiang and Jinxiu back to the camp.The man was sent to the governor's mansion.

In the mansion, Li Wen and Zhen Wang, a servant of the Zhen Mansion, were waiting for news. When they heard that Zhang Chen had returned victoriously and brought back two women, Zhen Wang ran out excitedly.

"Miss! Miss, it's great that you are okay! God bless you, God bless you!"

As soon as Zhen Wang was here, Zhen Jiang immediately understood a little bit and said immediately: "Thanks to your wit, you knew to come to the governor's mansion to ask for help, Jinxiu and I were spared."

"Miss, what you said is all my fault for not protecting you well and frightening you." Zhen Wang said, and when he saw Zhang Chen on the side, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, governor, for saving my lady."

"Governor?!" Zhen Jiang was slightly startled, and Jinxiu on the side was even more shocked and opened her mouth wide.

Zhen Jiang was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are... the governor? But... the governor, isn't it Lord Li Wen?"

As he was talking, Li Wen came out and said with a smile, "My dear niece, I will be transferred to Liangzhou soon. Zifan is the new governor of Weijun. The transfer order has been issued."

"Uncle!" Zhen Jiang hurried forward to greet Li Wen when she saw him.

"Get up quickly." Li Wen said, "Such a villain appeared under my rule. I am sorry that I didn't rule strictly enough and frightened you. Stay here for one night and have a good rest. I will send someone to escort you back tomorrow."

"Thank you, uncle." Zhen Jiang bowed again and left with the servants with Jinxiu.

When passing by Zhang Chen, Zhen Jiang raised her eyes slightly and met Zhang Chen's eyes. Then her cheeks flushed and she smiled slightly.

Her eyebrows were filled with shyness. Who knows what the girl is thinking?

…

The next day, Zhang Chen personally selected thirty soldiers to escort Zhen Jiang and his party back to Zhongshan. Zhang Chen even saw them off in person, and they returned ten miles outside the city.

Before leaving, Zhen Jiang took out the jade pendant from her waist, stuffed it into Zhang Chen's hand, and whispered with a lowered eyebrow: "Mr. Zhang, I am grateful for your help. This piece of jade is my personal belonging. I am giving it to you now, and I hope we can meet again."

After Zhen Jiang finished speaking, she blushed, got on the carriage with Jinxiu's help, and hurried away.

Zhang Chen looked at the carriage going away, then looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Zhang Chen stuffed the jade pendant into his waist and turned back to Yecheng.
