Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 999
But Yuan Tan is originally an atheist. In his eyes, all supernatural events are nothing more than people who cannot explain them with existing knowledge, so they can use the theory of ghosts and gods to feel at ease.

So Yuan Tan calmed down a bit, and opened his mouth to ask: "Who are you, why did you scare me late at night?"

"What King Qi said is so funny. Didn't you come to keep vigil for me? Why are you so scared now that you see me?" This is where the strange sound came from.

Yuan Tan then said: "Who is scared? It's just that you speak so abruptly. No one will be surprised. Where are you? Come out and talk."

And that voice also sneered: "I'm afraid King Qi will be even more afraid if I come out now."

"That's funny, then come out and give it a try!" Yuan Tan said while placing his hand on the sword.

Once this person comes out, Yuan Tan will give him some flair.

After all, he must not be a good person if he is pretending to be a ghost at night.

But when Yuan Tan was thinking of teaching that pretender a lesson, he saw a person climbing up from inside the coffin.

Yuan Tan took a closer look and saw that it was Zhou Yu who was supposed to be dead.

This surprised Yuan Tan, and then Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Tan and said with a smile, "Why, King Qi is scared?"

Yuan Tan was also standing there blankly at this moment, not because he was too frightened to move because of Zhou Yu's fake corpse, but because he was quite excited when he saw Zhou Yu come back from the dead.

Immediately, Zhou Yu also turned over and got out of the coffin, muttering: "I've been lying down for a day, and I'm really a little numb. It seems that this coffin is really prepared for the dead, and the living suffer in it."

Seeing that Zhou Yu still had the heart to complain about the coffin, Yuan Tan also laughed and said, "Who made Gong Jin want to experience it? It's just for yourself."

Seeing that Yuan Tan had actually spoken, Zhou Yu looked over suspiciously for a moment and said, "Isn't King Qi afraid? If he were an ordinary person, he would be speechless right now."

Yuan Tan smiled and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Gong Jin and I have no deep hatred, even if he comes back to life, at most, he is just thinking of his old friend, and he and I will come to have a drink and have fun again."

After Zhou Yu heard this, he also smiled and said: "It seems that the king of Qi is really courageous. It seems that even if Zhou becomes a ghost, he will not be able to escape the entanglement of the king of Qi."

But Yuan Tan said: "You have to do it voluntarily. If you don't want to, there are naturally thousands of ways to avoid it. Why did this matter show up?"

The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.

As Yuan Tan said, if Zhou Yu had stayed in the coffin, Yuan Tan would definitely not have stepped forward to check. After seven days, he would have completely escaped Yuan Tan's sight when he collapsed.

At the same time, there is no such person as Zhou Gongjin in the world.

Now that Zhou Yu came out, it naturally meant that everything he had done before was in vain.

Yuan Tan also understood why Zhou Yu pretended to be dead, so he didn't ask any further questions about this matter.

After all, people have come out on their own initiative now, so they gradually expressed their intentions.

So Yuan Tan said to Zhou Yu: "Did Gongjin figure it out?"

But Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "King Qi's kindness, Gong Jin will remember it in his heart, but this matter of allegiance, Zhou is really obedient."

When Yuan Tan heard this, he said anxiously: "Why, you still can't let go of Sun Wu's love?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "No, Zhou has already let go of this matter, otherwise why would he lead troops to Yizhou?"

"Even so, why are you..."

Zhou Yu said: "Although I put this matter aside, it doesn't mean that I want to be an official in the court. Zhou spent his whole life in the army, and most of the things he learned were military attacks. Now that the world is peaceful, it is no longer the case. If there is more chaos, if the King of Qi insists on recruiting me into the court, it will make others think that you have plans, and thus violate the original wish of the King of Qi."

Yuan Tan also tasted Zhou Yu's words, and felt that they made sense.

If Yuan Tan had no intention of changing the dynasty, there would indeed be no need to recruit military positions now.

Only in this way can officials and the world be reassured.

Yuan Tan naturally understood that Zhou Yu was thinking of himself at the moment, so he also sighed: "Even so, Gong Jin can just tell me directly, why bother to make such a fuss."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "If it wasn't for that, how could Zhou have seen you, King Qi? If he hadn't told you personally, how could King Qi be willing to let Gong Jin go?"

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Yuan Tan also smiled helplessly and said: "That's what Gong Jin said. It's just that your trouble has really worried me for a long time. It's true that you should be punished."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Gong Jin is willing to admit punishment. After this incident, if the King of Qi comes to see him, Gong Jin will drink three cups first as a punishment."

Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Yuan Tan also said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, since that's the case, then Gong Jin should die well, and I will act as if I have never met you today."

Zhou Yu also paid his respects and said, "Gong Jin, thank you very much, King Qi, for your success."

"Also called King Qi?"

"Brother Xiansi..."

……

On the second day, Yuan Tan, who had planned to wait until Zhou Yu was buried, left early.

He didn't say hello to anyone else in Wujun, and just took the earliest flight back to Yecheng.

But when Gan Ning went to pay a visit, he found that Yuan Tan was no longer there.

Immediately, he couldn't understand why Yuan Tan left in such a hurry.

The Zhou Mansion also carried out Zhou Yu's funeral as usual.

It's like nothing happened.

Until Zhou Yu's coffin was buried in the ground seven days later, the Zhou family gradually faded out of the sight of the nobles of Wu County.

But in this mountain, there is another hermit who enjoys the scenery and drum music.

After Yuan Tan returned from Wu County, there was no emotional change.

Everything is as before, which makes Cheng Yu and others particularly puzzled.

After all, Zhou Yu passed away, and Yuan Tan was still in a heavy heart before he left, but after returning, he was much better than before he left.

This is also somewhat unreasonable.

But Jia Xu felt that this was fine, as long as Yuan Tan wasn't affected by this, he didn't care what happened to him in Wu County.

Then everything went on as usual.

After the rebellion in Yizhou was resolved, all the credit was finally given to Gan Ning under Yuan Tan's signal.

And Zhou Yu's performance was not mentioned in the final merit list.

Yuan Tan thought that Zhou Yu must have meant the same thing when he came this week.

Therefore, after Gan Ning received all the credit, he was also promoted.

The mere position of the prefect of Wujun was no longer suitable, and Gan Ning was also transferred back to Yecheng after the statute of meritorious service came down.

As for the prefect of Wujun, it finally fell into Zhang Zhao's hands.

At this point, Zhang Zhao can finally be in charge of Wu County in a legitimate manner.

After everything was arranged properly, Yuan Tan also had no intention of paying attention to other things.

At this moment, she is quietly waiting at home for the birth of her own child.
