Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 656 Am I That Kind of Person?
I saw Deng Zhan said: "To be honest, the reason why Zhan appeared here this time is to transfer an important treasure to the Lord."

"Important treasure? Could it be."

After hearing Deng Zhan's words, Zhou Yu suddenly became excited and asked eagerly.

"It's exactly this thing." After Deng Zhan finished speaking, he slowly opened the inconspicuous box in his hand, and suddenly a piece of jade appeared in front of him. One of the horns of the dragon is inlaid with gold, and there are eight seal characters engraved on the front: "Ordered by the sky, you will live forever."

Zhou Yu used to be by Sun Ce's side back then, so he can be sure at a glance that this is the Jade Seal that was originally kept by Sun Jian and later exchanged by Yuan Shu from Sun Ce.

"Sure enough, it is this thing. The general was able to obtain this treasure and present it to the lord. It is really a great achievement, which is enviable. Ha ha, but this matter should not be exposed. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I ask the general to suffer hard and hold it immediately." This treasure is going to Chang'an and dedicated to the lord."

"This..." Deng Zhan hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then he said: "General Rong, it's not that the general is trying to shirk on purpose. He doesn't want to make this happen. He is actually walking alone. I don't know what kind of risks will be encountered in this? Because of the reason of the last general, the treasure is lost. Even if the last general has a thousand lives, he can’t afford it. The general is in the Yuan camp, and there are more than ten thousand people who can fight under his command? Escorting the treasure all the way will make the treasure safer , So, why not just escort the treasure to Chang'an, the general."

Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Yu Yu's escort is naturally safe, but the name is not right. As Cao Pi's guard, if the general claims that he was ordered by the emperor to give this thing to the lord, and he ordered the lord to inherit the Han Dynasty The world. In this way, the lord can justifiably succeed to the throne as the lord of the world, but this has wronged the general, because the general may only appear in front of the world under the name Zhan Fei for a long time. gone."

"It doesn't matter what the name is. I don't want this false name. I just want to repay my lord's kindness. However, I really feel that I am alone and do not dare to accept this mission. Please forgive me, General."

"General Deng, don't worry. This time I will send the most loyal and trusted elite men under my command to help you. I believe that with their help, you will be able to reach Chang'an smoothly and dedicate the treasure to the lord. I will also give the general A warrant, as long as I have my warrant, the general will never dare to be stopped by anyone on the way from here to Chang'an."

Zhou Yu looked at Deng Zhan in front of him and said with a smile.

"Since the general said so, then the general has no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient." Deng Zhan cupped his hands to Zhou Yu and said seriously.

"Everything is up to the general. As long as the treasure is in the hands of the lord, the general pretends to be ordered by the emperor, and the lord has no way to refuse it, but there is still a dilemma here." Zhou Yu frowned and continued: " If the emperor publicly refuted the general's excuses, it would be a bit troublesome. This would lead to a reversal of the lord's status and prestige, from the pure minister who was praised by everyone before to suddenly become the same as Wang Mang, Zhao Gao and others A villainous person."

Deng Zhan smiled wryly after hearing this, and sighed to Zhou Yu: "For this point, the last general should apologize to the people of the world, and at the same time to the emperor, because the emperor and his harem concubines, children, court ladies and All the eunuchs have died in the fire pit, and none of them have been preserved."

"What? General Deng thought of this section a long time ago? Yu has to say a word of admiration for this, but don't blame me for saying something bluntly. How innocent are those harem concubines, palace maids and eunuchs? My brother's actions this time are really a bit strange. Daddy, this time I will cover up for my brother, and I must never do this again in the future."

Zhou Yu originally thought it was Deng Zhan's actions. Although he was very polite on the surface, he had a bad impression of Deng Zhan in his heart.Never make friends in the future.

However, Deng Zhan sighed: "The words of the governor of Zhou are too overestimating the general. How can the general have such courage? How dare you openly burn the treasure ship on which the emperor is riding? If you say anything about this matter, it should be said to be God's will. Sigh However, no one would have thought that the first fire fired by the governor of Zhou today would actually ignite the emperor's boat. If we try our best to rescue the people on this boat, some people will naturally die, but the emperor and concubines can still be saved. However, at this moment, Cao Piming apparently ordered the general to go to the rescue, but in fact he instructed the general to wait and see. Going to rescue each other, all the people on the boat were killed, there were hundreds of people on this big boat, and Cao Pi’s relatives and sisters, but he could bear to issue such an order, it is simply devoid of humanity.”

When Deng Zhan said this, he blamed himself deeply: "Actually, the general is also responsible for this matter. If General Mo can withstand the pressure and send someone to rescue him, he will be able to save some poor people no matter what. To be honest, Whenever I think of that scene, I can't settle down in my heart. No matter how many years from now on, this will be a nightmare that I can't get rid of in my life. Governor Zhou said, under such circumstances, how can I ask for rewards? ? If it wasn't for the lord to get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo intact and to secure the world, the last general would have disobeyed Cao Pi's orders and would have rescued them, but the last general didn't dare, because what would happen to the lord? Rule the world in a legitimate way? When will I be able to completely settle down as a big man?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately changed his words and thanked him: "This is all Yu's assumption at the moment, and he almost misunderstood the general. I am really ashamed. In fact, if we talk about it, Yu has an inescapable responsibility for this matter. After all, the emperor's position Yu ordered the boat to be set on fire, that is to say, Yu was the culprit who murdered the emperor and had nothing to do with Brother Deng."

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless for us to take responsibility on ourselves like this, because the governor of Zhou didn't know that it was the boat that the emperor was on, and he also left a chance for rescue. This is mainly because Cao Pi deliberately murdered the emperor. It finally led to such an ending, so the main responsibility lies with Cao Pi, not us. And we must set the tone in this way so that the lord can inherit the throne logically."

"Brother Deng is right, so it's settled. I will report to the lord in this way in the victory report to the lord, but the real situation of the matter needs to be explained to the lord in detail. As for how the lord will punish, then I also think It's just that this way, I'm afraid it will hurt brother Deng, but loyalty and righteousness can't be both, and Yu is also very embarrassed."

"Haha, Commander Zhou is right. Is this the kind of person that the general is? Since the governor was able to confess the matter to the lord, how could the general keep it? The governor just reported it according to the facts, and the general was looking forward to the meeting." The lord has punished me severely because of this matter, so the last general may feel better in his heart."

Deng Zhan grinned, but this smile was full of bitterness, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
