"You want to die? Not so easy!" Sun Qian sneered.
"You!" Mi Zhu's eyes widened. He had already admitted defeat. At worst, he would just die. All he wanted was for Sun Qian to give him a quick and comfortable death. But now, it seemed that Sun Qian wasn't going to grant him this small wish.
"Men, tie Mi Zhu up and bring him to my residence!" Sun Qian ordered.
"Yes!" The guards behind Sun Qian nodded and immediately stepped forward to tie Mi Zhu up.
"Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, you will die a horrible death! I, Mi Zhu, will haunt you even if I become a ghost! " Mi Zhu's face was filled with malevolence. He hated himself for abandoning his position as the richest man in Xuzhou and plotting against the country. In the end, he lost all of his family's wealth. He thought that he could become Liu Bei's brother-in-law and make the Mi Family a nobleman. Now, his wish had come true. Mi Zhu's family had three noble titles. But now that he was gone, what was the use of those titles? Mi Zhu was ruthless. If he had stayed as the richest man in Xuzhou, none of this would have happened. At that time, Cao Cao had sent a messenger to contact Mi Zhu. If Mi Zhu hadn't supported Liu Bei, at least he could have stayed as a rich man.
He hated himself for having misjudged Liu Bei. Liu Bei was known for his benevolence and righteousness, but in the end, he was a greedy wolf. His Mi Family had lost all of their wealth because of him. Mi Zhu didn't find it strange that Liu Bei didn't want to pay for his brothers and sisters. He even covered for Liu Bei. How could his brothers and sisters compare to the Mi Family's nobleman status? But now, he had also thrown himself into this mess.
"Become a ghost? Haha, that depends on what kind of ghost you are. I'm not afraid of you being alive, but do you think I'm afraid of you dying? "Sun Qian sneered and took Mi Zhu away.
Mi Zhu still wanted to struggle, but how could a weak person like him compare to the soldiers? He was tied up. Fearing that he would curse again, the soldiers tore a piece of cloth from Mi Zhu's clothes and stuffed it into his mouth. Mi Zhu glared at Sun Qian, hoping to kill him with his eyes. Bang.
Mi Zhu was forced into a carriage by Sun Qian's guards. This carriage was to be sent to Sun Qian's residence. Once Mi Zhu was sent to Sun Qian's residence, he wouldn't be able to survive. Jian Yong's subordinates were also very diligent. They guarded Sun Qian's group until they reached Sun Qian's residence.
Inside the carriage, Sun Qian's eyes were closed, but the smile on his face couldn't hide the joy in his heart. Originally, Sun Qian didn't want to get rid of Mi Zhu because Mi Zhu wasn't related to the overall situation. He only wanted to get rid of Mi Zhu because of Liu Mang's instigation. But now that Mi Zhu was dead, Sun Qian realized that he had gained a lot. First, Mi Zhu's status would rise when Jingzhou and Yuzhou opened trade. This would cause Sun Qian a lot of trouble.
Second, with Mi Zhu's death, Mi Zhu's authority would fall into Sun Qian's hands. Although Mi Zhu's authority wasn't great, he was still in charge of Liu Bei's money. The 5000 gold that Pang Tong took away from Jingzhou was from Mi Zhu.
If Pang Tong couldn't open the trade route between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, Sun Qian could use this to suppress Pang Tong and reduce his importance to Liu Bei. But if Pang Tong could open the trade route between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, Sun Qian would be the one to profit the most. Pang Tong's actions were just for Sun Qian's dowry. Since Sun Qian had taken over Mi Zhu's authority, any trade between Jingzhou and Yuzhou would have to go through Sun Qian. Sun Qian wouldn't be able to run away from this huge contribution. If the nobles in Yuzhou wanted to expand their wealth, they would have to go through Sun Qian. At that time, Sun Qian's status in Liu Bei's Army would rise and Pang Tong wouldn't be able to compete with him.
Sun Qian's plan was perfect. What he needed to do now was to get rid of Mi Zhu. "Fatty Pang, you didn't expect this, did you? Everything you did was for me!" Sun Qian was very happy. If they weren't in the carriage, he would have laughed out loud.
But just as Sun Qian was about to smile, a loud bang sounded. Sun Qian's good mood was immediately ruined. His head directly hit the carriage. Sun Qian used his hand to touch his head and found that it was bleeding. Sun Qian's eyes were filled with shock. Sun Qian's good mood was immediately ruined.
"What kind of carriage are you driving?!" Sun Qian's mouth was filled with rage. The good thing hadn't happened yet, and he was already seeing red. Sun Qian immediately wanted to draw the sword at his waist and kill the carriage driver.
"Men, protect the Patriarch!"
"Protect the Military Advisor!" Sun Qian heard the voice and was immediately surrounded by a group of guards.
"What's going on?" Sun Qian wasn't ignorant. He knew something big had happened.
"Military Advisor, please return to the carriage quickly. The bandits are too many. I'm afraid we won't be able to protect you!" Jian Yong's subordinate cupped his fist and said to Sun Qian.
"Huh?" Sun Qian saw that his entire group had been intercepted. A group of black-clothed men was charging through his group.
"Who are you?" Sun Qian looked at the black-clothed hostages and asked.
"Haha, of course, we're here to kill you!" A black-clothed leader replied.
"Kill my men?!" Sun Qian was immediately angered. Where was this place? This was the capital of Nanyang County. It could be considered as Liu Bei's second base. Tens of thousands of Liu Bei's soldiers were stationed here. Among them were the elite Xiliang Cavalry. For a man in black to appear in this place and want to kill him was simply too arrogant.
However, Sun Qian immediately reacted. This voice, this voice, why does it sound so familiar? When he looked at the black-clothed man again, the black-clothed man gave Sun Qian a strange smile. His face was red, and he was wielding a war blade. And that voice …
Sun Qian's eyes widened. This wasn't him. This wasn't him. This wasn't him. He was one of the generals under the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, Wei Yan! Sun Qian finally remembered who this person was. Originally, with Wei Yan's status, Sun Qian would not know about him. At that time, Wei Yan was just a squad leader. However, Sun Qian was captured by Wei Yan. Therefore, Sun Qian felt hatred and fear towards Wei Yan. At that time, several of Sun Qian's subordinates were chopped up by Wei Yan as if they were watermelons. Wei Yan's strength on the battlefield made Sun Ziyou shocked. Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could be compared to Wei Yan.
Because of Wei Yan's red face, Sun Qian couldn't help but compare him with the second general, Guan Yu. Both of them were arrogant people. One was arrogant and the other was rebellious.
That's right, these people were Wei Yan and his Yi Yang soldiers. They followed the second wave of envoys into the city. However, they hid themselves and didn't appear until today.
Sun Qian and Jian Yong had more than a dozen men with them. It was reasonable to say that they had more men than the black-clothed men. Wei Yan had less than ten men with him. However, Jian Yong's men and Sun Qian's men simply couldn't stop Wei Yan's men. These dozens of black-clothed men were people who had fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield. Sun Qian and Jian Yong's men were experts in assassination and interrogation, but they weren't a match for the black-clothed men.
Not to mention, there was also Wei Yan. Therefore, Sun Qian's men couldn't fight back. Soon, dozens of corpses were lying on the ground.
"Stop them! Stop them!" Although Sun Qian also knew that Wei Yan couldn't be sent by Liu Mang to kill him, because a dead Sun Qian was not in the interest of Liu Mang. Sun Qian also knew that he was released by Liu Mang because he didn't get along with Pang Tong. If Liu Bei's men were united, then Sun Qian would have already died in Ruyin. However, Sun Qian still had a guilty conscience. After all, Wei Yan had left a shadow in his heart. After being captured once, he didn't want to see it again.
"Can you stop them!?" Wei Yan teasingly looked at Sun Qian who was surrounded by his men. To be honest, Wei Yan didn't have a bad impression of Sun Qian. This was because Sun Qian was always lucky for Wei Yan. As long as Sun Qian appeared, Wei Yan would have a good general or a meritorious service. Last time, Sun Qian used the empty city strategy to block Liu Ye outside the city for several days. However, this meritorious service was given to Wei Yan. Wei Yan led his men and rushed into Ruyin city to investigate. Even after Liu Mang saw through the situation and directly attacked the city, Wei Yan still managed to bring back news. Moreover, Wei Yan managed to capture the main character of the empty city strategy, Sun Qian, Mr. Sun Gongyou.
Capturing the enemy's general, this meritorious service was really not small. It also allowed Wei Yan to completely get rid of his status as a soldier and become the governor of Zaoyang City. He led 5,000 Yi Yang soldiers under his command.
Now, he encountered Sun Qian again. This time, it was Xu Shu's order to ambush Sun Qian in the city and wait for Sun Qian's carriage to arrive.
Now that he encountered Sun Qian, Wei Yan also moved. Although he couldn't kill Sun Qian, as long as Wei Yan succeeded this time, he wouldn't be able to run away from a noble title. Therefore, Wei Yan's heart was really excited.
"Hold on, hold on, the defenders of the city will be here soon. You must hold on! Wait for the reinforcements to arrive! " Sun Qian shouted loudly. The sound of fighting and killing was so loud that it was impossible to not attract the attention of the defenders of the city. Therefore, as long as they held on for a while, the defenders of the city would definitely arrive.
Sun Qian's luck was really good to the extreme. As soon as his words fell, the sound of the earth shaking, the sound of hooves, and the sound of armor, the reinforcements really came.
"Huh!?" Wei Yan frowned. How could he not recognize the sound of the horses galloping? Liu Bei now had cavalry, which was the Xiliang Cavalry under his former ally Zhang Xiu. Even if the Xiliang Cavalry couldn't be fully utilized in the city, it was still not something that Wei Yan could resist.
Wei Yan was not a fool, if he was, Xu Shu wouldn't have excluded him. Without hesitation, Wei Yan shouted, "Retreat!"
"What are you doing! What are you doing!? " Wei Yan's subordinates were retreating, but Wei Yan didn't. Instead, he suddenly erupted. Wei Yan himself was a refinement level warrior, and in the battlefield, even if there were hundreds of people, he wouldn't be able to defeat them. But now, once Wei Yan erupted, his explosive power was simply astonishing.
The sword in Wei Yan's hand seemed to be alive, and with a single slash, two people's heads directly flew to the sky, and blood splashed everywhere.
Wei Yan was using his explosive strength to deal with his opponent. He wouldn't do this on the battlefield because a battle could last for several hours. Even Wei Yan would only be able to withstand the explosive strength of his opponent for a short while. But once a refinement stage expert burst out, it would be very difficult to stop him.
In just an instant, five people died in Wei Yan's hands, and soon, only two people were left beside Sun Qian.
"Stop him, stop him!" Sun Qian panicked and wanted to climb into the carriage.
"Stop him!" Wei Yan sneered. After all, the two guards were Sun Qian's subordinates, so even if they were frightened, they still rushed forward for their master's sake.
However, their courage was commendable, but their strength was not enough, so they just gave Wei Yan two more heads. Wei Yan soon approached Sun Qian.
"What do you want to do!" Sun Qian panicked, he thought that Liu Mang would not kill him, but now it seems that Wei Yan's killing intent was not fake.
"Mr. Gongyou, don't panic, I won't kill you!" Wei Yan tried his best to smile, but his body was covered with blood, and his smile looked even more ferocious, so it was better not to smile.
"You are Wei Yan?"
"I am saving you! You will thank me later! " Wei Yan did not have time to chat with Sun Qian, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand and swung it down.
"Puff!" Blood directly splashed.
"Thief, you dare!" On the other side, the Xiliang Cavalry finally arrived. A general holding a spear, Meng De, charged towards Wei Yan.
This was Sun Qian's residence, and when they encountered the black-clothed people, Sun Qian's subordinates immediately went to report to him, so that the Xiliang cavalry could arrive so quickly.
Who was this Sun Qian? He was an important minister of Liu Bei, and even now because of the emergence of Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, Sun Qian was the second most powerful minister, but he was still not someone to be trifled with.
If Sun Qian died here, then he would be finished. He did not know that the enemy had entered the city, and even killed his own minister, which was obviously a slap to Liu Bei's face! It would be strange if Liu Bei did not kill him!
That was why this thousand-man general rushed towards Wei Yan.
"Che!" Wei Yan looked at this thousand-man general who was rushing towards him, but he was just a second-rate general, and he would not be able to last more than ten rounds in Wei Yan's hands. Wei Yan wanted to kill this general, but there were still enemies behind him, so he spat on the ground and directly turned away. Now was not the time to stay here.
"Enemy general, don't run away!" This thousand-man general's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, there were corpses on the ground, and there was a person in a luxurious robe lying on the carriage, this was simply harming people! He did not need to look to know that it was Sun Qian.
Sun Qian was riding a warhorse, if they were in a plain area, then he might be able to catch up, but this was Wancheng city, there were many buildings in front of him, and Wei Yan only needed to move a few times to hide in the alleys, so it was impossible to catch up with him.
