Sure enough, after a while, Fang Linyan received a prompt,
"Contractor ZB419, you have successfully escaped from the Changban Slope battlefield and are 40 miles away from the central camp of the Cao army. Zuo Ciye, who is responsible for tracking you, is in close cultivation!"
"So, you will get 2 hours of buffer time."
"2 hours later, Zuo Ciye's disciple, Sun Xian, will take over tracking you. At that time, if you still carry the artifact: Green Sword, then your position will continue to be locked."
"However, the locking period has been extended to 2 hours. At the same time, every 3 times Sun Xian continues to track you, he needs to meditate with his eyes closed for 4 hours."
Of course, it was a happy reunion when teammates met again. Crespo, the Goat, Vulture, and others held the Green Sword and looked at it for a long time. They were really envious! They couldn't wait to erase the line of "can't be brought out of this world" below.
At this time, Fang Linyan straightened up and smiled,
"Since the distinguished guest is here, why don't you show up?"
Hearing Fang Linyan's words, the rest of the people were shocked and hurriedly took precautions, but they saw that the surrounding forest was silent. There was no movement at all.
After a while, the Goat said in amazement,
"Boss? Is there anyone here? "
Fang Linyan laughed and said,
"I guess the backup plan prepared before should be coming soon, so I deliberately said something to trick you."
Then he looked at the cave next to him,
"Have you guys seen it before? Has Zhang Xu's body been touched? "
Max immediately said,
"It was dug away."
Fang Linyan nodded, then after 2 minutes, he said loudly with a smile,
"Since the distinguished guest is here, why don't you show up?"
The rest of the people couldn't help but smile at the same time, but they found that no one responded.
But after a few minutes, when Fang Linyan said the same words again, the bushes next to him suddenly moved. The air there quickly became like frosted glass, then 3 people emerged from there.
The leader was none other than Lieutenant Liu, who had dealt with Fang Linyan before. There was also a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a veil on her face.
Behind the woman stood an old man. Although he seemed to be holding a cane, he was hale and hearty. There were many wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were as clear and flawless as a baby!
The woman was a little surprised.
"We used the Earth Shrinking Technique to get here, and we even used the secret Silent Leaf Stepping Talisman of our sect. How did you find out that we were here?"
Fang Linyan laughed and said,
"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning."
Lieutenant Liu's face was very ugly at this time. He stood up and said to Fang Linyan,
"Fang Yan! You killed Xiahou En and betrayed the Cao Camp, but I was implicated. Do you know that? "
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"I don't think you'll care about a mere Battalion Cao's position, right? Besides, in your heart, I'm afraid you've never considered Cao Cao as your lord. The lord in your heart is probably only the Virtuous Master. "
Lieutenant Liu's expression immediately changed.
"What Virtuous Teacher? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hahaha!" Fang Linyan laughed loudly and said,
"Now, it's time to be honest, but you all still want to hide. Are you afraid that I will go to the Cao Camp to kill you?"
Yes, Fang Linyan had long determined the identity of this group of people in the Cao Camp who seemed to have formed their own faction. They were the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that swept the world!
At first, Fang Linyan really didn't think of this until he met Suo Gu who came to kill and the old man of "Luo Cao's" family took out the token of "Pingbei Zhonglang General of Dahan".
Suo Gu himself was one of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, but he was recruited later.
Of course, this might be a coincidence.
However, the front of the token was "Pingbei Zhonglang General of Dahan", and the back was a swallow. After a little investigation, this was actually very obvious. The one who issued this token was the leader of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army: Zhang Yan!
This guy was from Zhao Yun's hometown, but he was the best one in the Yellow Turban Army. He surrendered to the imperial court early and was titled as Pingbei Zhonglang General. He was also called Swallow.
Not only that, Cao Cao's rise began when he incorporated the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou in the third year of Chuping.
At that time, Cao Cao's strength was still relatively weak. He couldn't defeat the Yellow Turban Army in a head-on battle, but he made the Yellow Turban Army surrender to him unconditionally without bloodshed. After the surrender, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou had a million people including their families. Among them, 300,000 were strong and healthy.
This made Cao Cao's strength expand rapidly!
Although the process was not recorded in history, if there was no compromise or deal, it was definitely impossible.
According to the analysis of the situation at that time, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang had been dead for six years. There was no lack of knowledgeable people in the Yellow Turban Army. They knew that the situation was hopeless.
In the end, there was no way out of being a rebel, so they surrendered to Cao Cao. The premise was to ensure the safety of the Yellow Turban Army's higher-ups.
Although Cao Cao was a careerist, his charisma and love for talent were indisputable. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou was a piece of fatty meat to him. After eating and digesting it, it would become the foundation of a tyrant.
In truth, if the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou did not surrender, Cao Cao would not even have the qualifications to fight against Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.
Under these circumstances, although Cao Cao's high ranking officers were all under his control, a large number of officers, veterans and the like were all former Yellow Turban Army members.
There were also many factions in the Cao Army.
There was the faction of brothers represented by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the others.
There was the faction of relatives of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and the others.
There was the faction of trusted aides of Xu Chu, Yu Jin, and the others.
There was also the faction of surrendered generals formed by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Zhang Yan, and the others.
Apart from this, there was also the faction of Yellow Turban Army members who didn't interact with each other but would help each other out.
Not only that, the faction of surrendered generals was also in an alliance with the Yellow Turban Army. This was because both sides were weak. Moreover, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Zhang Gu, and the others were originally among the surrendered generals.
Cao Cao actually turned a blind eye to the fact that he had so many factions under his command. In fact, he would even encourage them.
In truth, for Cao Aman, or any other person in power, having many factions was a good thing. If his subordinates were like iron plates, what would he do if someone coveted his position as the boss? What would he do if they easily took over his position?
Cao Cao was also very tolerant of the Yellow Turban Army under his command as long as they did not betray him.
Perhaps this might sound exaggerated, but it was not strange at all with Cao Cao's way of doing things. The impression that Cao Cao gave others was that he was very suspicious and easily held grudges. However, this was not the case.
During the Battle of Guandu, Chen Lin wrote a declaration of war against Cao Cao. It was much more vicious than the people in the book circle who scolded me. After Cao Cao read the declaration of war, he broke out in cold sweat.
But later, Chen Lin was captured and transferred to Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao asked him a few questions, then smiled and gave him an official position.
If this was not a big deal, Zhang Xiu caused great damage to Cao Cao. He shot an arrow at Cao Cao and killed Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and the general, Dian Wei!
This was the enmity of killing his son, the hatred of severing his heart, and he had almost been killed.
But later, when Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao was very kind to him. In order to ease his heart, Cao Cao let his son, Cao Jun, marry Zhang Xiu's daughter.
Later, Zhang Xiu followed Cao Cao to war and held the military power until 207 AD, when he died of illness during the crusade against Wuhuan. At this time, he had surrendered to Cao Cao for 8 years. He was promoted repeatedly and his land had reached 2000 households.
It could be seen that Cao Cao was really magnanimous. In order to conquer the world and recruit talents, he let go of the hatred.
This was also the reason why he could make the Yellow Turban Army under his command.
After Fang Linyan killed Xiahou En, he released the paper crane that Liu Xiahou En gave him before. There was also a message on it:
"The Mermaid's Pearl and the artifact Qingqiu Sword are both in my hands."
"I'm at the place where Zhang Xu's body is buried. I'll only wait for 2 hours. You can only have 4 people at most. If there is one more, I'll turn around and leave immediately."
Although he was now the public enemy of Cao Army, Fang Linyan firmly believed that the other party would definitely come!
Just the Mermaid's Pearl alone was something they were determined to obtain, not to mention the Divine Weapon!
***
At this time, Fang Linyan looked at the woman and cupped his fist.
"I'm Fang Yan. Since it seems that you are here to talk to me, then I'll take the liberty to ask for your name."
The woman smiled faintly and took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.
Simply speaking, she was an ordinary woman with good facial features. She looked to be in her thirties, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were quite obvious.
However, upon closer inspection, her eyes were lifeless and even sunken. It was obvious that she had lost her sight.
"I'm Zhang Zhi, greetings to Mr. Fang."
Fang Linyan turned his wrist, and the Mermaid's Pearl rolled in his palm, then he pointed to the Qingqiu Sword held by Crespo,
"To be honest, I don't plan to keep these 2 things for myself. I have contacted Liu Xuande's side and Sun Quan's side. They both expressed great interest."
Having said that, Fang Linyan changed his tone and said,
"However, I'm a person who cherishes old friendships the most. Previously, Liu Xiahou En spoke up for justice, and he also appreciated us, so I'll consider trading with you first."
"However, these two items are top-notch divine items in the world. Our asking price is not low. Can you make the decision?"
Zhang Zhi nodded and said,
"I'm a woman, and I don't have a good reputation. No wonder you have such an idea."
Having said that, she said gently to the old man next to her,
"General Xu, thank you for your trouble."
The old man nodded slightly, then he handed over a seemingly ordinary umbrella. Zhang Zhi pulled out a crutch from the umbrella.
This crutch was brown. At first, it looked very ordinary. There were many knots on it. If an old farmer used it as a crutch, it would look very harmonious.
However, after looking at it a few more times, you would feel that this crutch was more comfortable. Every bend and arc on it seemed to be telling the truth between heaven and earth.
At this time, Vulture had already said in the team channel,
"Boss, this woman's identity is not simple! This is another equipment close to the power of the artifact! "
Fang Linyan almost blurted out "F * ck". Is artifact a cabbage?!!
In the ordinary adventure world, there were often no more than 3 artifacts. Even if this was the golden main storyline world, there were no more than 10 artifacts at most! Furthermore, he could calculate it with his fingers.
In this world, the first artifact was definitely the imperial jade seal that suppressed the world's luck. This thing was passed down from the Qin Kingdom, and it even faintly became the symbol of the emperor suppressing the world.
The emperor without the imperial jade seal was even considered unworthy of the position! Therefore, the imperial jade seal deserved to be ranked as the first artifact.
The Green Killer Sword was an artifact, so the Heavenly Sword was definitely an artifact too.
The Red Hare was undoubtedly the most famous horse in the history of China. It had an attribute that greatly increased men's favorability: It could be ridden! Therefore, it deserved to be listed as an artifact.
Weapons like the Green Dragon Crescent Blade were also famous in history. Its fame was no faster than the Green Killer Sword, so it was natural for it to be an artifact.
It was the same for the Zhangba Snake Spear, but the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was more famous, so there was a 50% chance that it was an artifact. As for Liu Bei's double sword, it was most likely legendary quality. The main reason was that its owner dragged it down.
Zhuge Liang's fame was great, and it was not inferior to Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Fang Linyan judged that he also had an artifact on him, but this was a typical case where the owner was too famous, so it limited the reputation of the equipment.
Therefore, the artifact on Zhuge Liang might be the fan he held: White Feather Fan!
It might also be the weapon he invented: Zhuge Crossbow.
It might also be the Eight Trigrams Garment he wore, or the Dun Jia Tian Shu, or the "Chu Shi Biao" that was passed down for thousands of years.
***
After letting go of his thoughts, Fang Linyan looked at the long staff in the woman's hand again, but he saw Zhang Zhi said calmly,
"This weapon is called the nine-section staff. It was used by my father to cure diseases and save people! Later, it stirred up the world and shook most of the Han Dynasty! "
"The Merman's Pearl in your hands is another treasure refined by my father! Before its power was broken, it had a name called Mou Ni Zhu! The magical talisman water that I taught to cure diseases was soaked in it. "
"Nine-section staff, Mou Ni Zhu … talisman water to save people?"
These thoughts flashed through Fang Linyan's mind, and he suddenly said in shock.
"Could it be that your father is actually … a great teacher?"
Zhang Zhi nodded and made a woman's curtsy solemnly,
"So, now can Mr. Fang Linyan think that I can make the decision?"
At this time, Fang Linyan had a feeling that the truth of this mermaid's pearl was actually like this!
Back then, Zhang Jiao single-handedly established the Taiping Road, crossing states and counties, accumulating prestige along the way. He relied on the talisman water to cure diseases, which was extremely effective. He then preached the doctrine and developed the believers! In the end, he successfully organized a great uprising that shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty and involved tens of millions of people!
Where did this magical talisman water come from? It was the pearl in his hand! Although listening to Zhang Zhi's tone, this thing was still in a damaged state at this time, it was not impossible to repair it. No wonder this woman was determined to get it.
So Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Of course … are you sure you want both treasures?"
Zhang Zhi smiled and said,
"If there is a chance to get such a magical object like the Green Killer Sword, then why not?"
Fang Linyan pointed at the Green Killer Sword and said,
"I have to make it clear first, the Green Killer Sword has the dragon aura of the Han Dynasty on it. The person who gets it will be tracked by Zuo Ci's people."
The old man behind Zhang Zhi waved his hand and said indifferently,
"It's okay, with me here, Zuo Yuanfang's disciples can't play any tricks."
Fang Linyan glanced at the old man and said,
"May I know the name of this old mister?"
Zhang Zhi said seriously,
"This is my uncle, Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang."
After Fang Linyan heard it, he took a breath of cold air. Another extravagant person who left a name in history! He is the senior with a poisonous tongue, the ancestor of the scolding!
This person was good at reading faces and commenting on characters in history, and he was quite incisive and accurate. After his death, someone robbed his tomb and found that only his clothes were left in it, so there was a legend of him becoming an immortal.
One of the activities hosted by Xu Shao in his hometown was to comment on characters or works at the beginning of every month. To put it bluntly, it was the Han Dynasty version of Cat's Eye and Douban.
This activity was mostly held at the beginning of the month, so it was also called "Yue Dan Review" or "Yue Dan Product". No matter who it was, once the review was done, their value would be a hundred times higher. Therefore, it was famous and popular for a while.
When Cao Cao was not famous, he paid a lot of money to let Xu Shao review. Xu Shao gave him 10 words: A capable minister in times of peace, a traitor in times of chaos!
These 10 words could be said to have described Cao Cao's life.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and treated Xu Shao very politely.
Zhang Zhineng could freely enter and leave Cao Cao's camp. In addition to the fact that she didn't want to go against Cao Cao, having Xu Shao's protection should be a very key factor.
So Fang Linyan hurriedly stepped forward and said,
"Greetings, Mr. Xu. I have heard a lot about you!"
Xu Shao nodded. After looking at Fang Linyan and others, his face suddenly changed slightly and said,
"Your faces are so strange. You should have died long ago, but now you are living at the same time. But now, you're living a life of riches and honor. Could it be that there's an expert who changed your fate? "
Fang Linyan and others smiled bitterly after listening,
"There is indeed such a thing, but we are also under this powerful master's command."
Xu Shao nodded, closed his eyes again, and said no more.
Zhang Zhi said at this time,
"What do you want?"
Fang Linyan and others exchanged glances, then Fang Linyan said straightforwardly,
"The first condition, 5 tax deeds."
The first request made by Fang Linyan and others directly surprised Zhang Zhi.
