Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 39
Chapter 39 Donglai Taishi Ci (1)
“This” The archer was speechless when he spoke of the silver taels. He didn’t even argue back. Obviously, he should know the value of the horse.
Sure enough, when it came to horse value of ten thousand taels, not a single person in the surroundings actually stood out to refute. Obviously, everyone was a regular customer here, so they knew the market situation of the horse market. Even the girl who had been rescued was now nowhere to be seen. Apparently, her mother knew that her daughter had caused a great disaster, so she should take her and run away first.
“What is this? Either take the money or report it to the official. You can choose one of them.” The horse dealer didn’t have the slightest intention of being polite. Obviously, he had determined the responsibility of the archer.
“I don’t have that much money. If you want to report it to the official, just report it to the official.” The archer was also honest. He actually confessed that he had no money, and then he acted as if he was free to do whatever he wanted.
The horse dealer was also enraged by the archer’s actions. He blushed and said, “Alright, report it to the official. When the time comes, I will punish you for hard labor and compensation.”
“If you compensate me, then I will compensate you. I will not go back on my word.” The archer stood where he was and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice. He didn’t show the slightest sign of weakness or pleading for mercy.
“This is a man.” Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“Oh, Zilong thinks he’s a man. Then how can we see a hero in distress?” Zhang Chao stood at the side and saw everything clearly. Then, he smiled and strode towards the middle of the street.
When everyone stood still, Zhang Chao’s actions obviously attracted everyone’s attention.
Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white, seemed to be very particular about his workmanship. He should have been drunk by the horse dealer the moment he appeared as a young master of a wealthy family. “Stop, what do you do?”
“Solve the problem.” After Zhang Chao answered, he first arrived at the side of the fallen horse. After carefully looking at it, he nodded his head and said, “An arrow pierced through his throat. Indeed, it is a good archery.”
“How are you going to settle this? Are you going to pay for him?” Looking at Zhang Chao looking at the dead horse, he was still praising it. The horse dealer was a little anxious. He felt that this person was difficult to deal with. Most importantly, he was afraid that this person had a background. If he reported it to the official, what if he suffered a loss?
‘”Haha, don’t try to trick me. Let me ask you this. You only saw this hero shoot your healthy horse to death. But have you ever thought about what kind of crime it would be if your healthy horse injured that girl? According to the laws of the Great Tang Dynasty, animals hurt people and the master was convicted, right?” Zhang Chao turned his head to look at the horse dealer, his eyes shining brightly as he asked.
“Ah! This” The horse dealer’s eyes turned and he said, “But my healthy horse didn’t hurt the girl.”
“That’s right, what you said is the truth, but the reason for this result is because this hero shot your healthy horse, so you are not guilty. From this point of view, you should be grateful to him.” Zhang Chao said with a smile, and before the horse dealer could reply, he said, “Of course, let’s tell the truth. The truth is that your healthy horse is dead, and you need compensation. That’s also true.”
The horse dealer was stunned by Zhang Chao’s words, but he had to admit that he was right. “That’s right, you’re right.”
“Alright, I’m right. Do you think half of the responsibility for this lies with the family? At the very least, you can’t blame the archers, right?” What Zhang Chao was waiting for was the horse dealer’s words, that is to say, if the other party said this, he would naturally bite on it immediately.
“Ah! This is also true. However, half of the responsibility requires 5,000 silver coins.” When the horse dealer was forced by Zhang Chao, he followed his words.
“Alright, five thousand is five thousand. Someone, bring the silver.” Hearing this, Zhang Chao stretched out his hand and said to the embroidered guard beside him.
The master wanted money, and immediately, a guard in charge of the money took out a large bag of silver.
Zhang Chao reached out and took it. After pondering for a while, he knew that it wasn’t enough. He said, “Then, send someone to follow my guards to get it. Of course, we won’t leave during this period. How about eating wine here?”
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were no silver bills. No one had the qualifications to throw them away, and only then would they be able to load their belongings into the carriage.
Although Zhang Chao had brought some silver taels with him this time, it was naturally not enough when it came to five thousand taels, so he could only ask someone to pick it up.
The horse dealer also knew about these things, as he usually did when dealing with people. They all sent their horses to the buyers and were collecting silver taels. He didn’t doubt Zhang Chao’s words, so he turned to the two people beside him and said, “You guys go get the money. I’ll keep an eye on them.”
“Alright.” After the two of them agreed, they followed a brocade guard appointed by Zhang Chao and left the horse market.
This was a lively scene. Even if the curtain was down, everyone would do whatever they were supposed to. The man who shot the arrow could not leave. Someone had offered 5,000 taels of silver for him. How could he know when he left?
“Come, let’s eat together.” When Zhang Chao saw the archer standing there without moving, he took the initiative to greet him.
Benefactor greeted him, so the man could not stand where he was. He walked to Zhang Chao’s table with some restraint and stood there.
In fact, this man was also a very straightforward person, but because Zhang Chao helped him pay 5,000 silver, he felt that he owed something, and he felt a little tied up in his relationship.
‘”Come, sit down.” Zhang Chao did not think too much, but the actions of the person in front of him were actually done by a man. If not for that arrow, the bowl in his hand would have been thrown away. Although he could not say that he could save the girl, it would still hurt the healthy horse. In the end, this would have happened the most.
Under Zhang Chao’s warm greeting, the archer sat at the dog meat table, beside Zhao Yun.
“Your archery skills are not bad. I admire you.” As he spoke, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, “Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.”
This was originally a way to make friends in Jianghu. First, it was normal for him to report to his own family.
“Donglai Taishi Ci, the word justice.” The archer hurriedly gave his name.
“So it’s Brother Gongyi. Come, this is my Second Childe.” After Zhao Yun knew the justice of the herringbone in front of him, he said politely and looked at Zhang Chao.
Originally, Zhao Yun should have introduced Zhang Chao’s identity, but now that he was his Lord, how could he casually reveal the full stop? He stopped and wanted Lord to introduce himself.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chao was stunned. He was shocked to hear the identity of the archer.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Or it can be said that from the appearance of the country, to zhaoyun, to today and lu su far side of the fate, including tardif suddenly appeared, is completely in his unprepared situation.
Taishi Ci, word Ziyi, Donglai Huang County (now Longkou East Yellow City Assembly in Shandong Province) people. During the Three Kingdoms Period, one of the Tiger Generals of the State of Wu could probably be ranked in the top ten in terms of martial power at that time, and the worst was within the top fifteen. At that time, the State of Wu was even one of the best battle generals.
After poaching Country Wei Zhaoyun, Zhang Chao had been wondering if he wanted to attack Country Wu as well.
Just because Chen liu is too far away from the territory of sun chien now, he did not dare to expect too much, but did not expect that in a day, met the two great talents of wu, one article and one martial, can be said to be complementary.
Zhang Chao’s heart was overjoyed. He felt that today was truly his lucky day. He actually met two great talents in a short period of time. He couldn’t help but look at Taishi Ci. Only then did he notice that his gaze was also looking at him. His emotions were still waiting for him to introduce himself.
“Zhang Chao, Zhang Zhiyuan, from Chen Liu Prefecture.”
‘”So it’s Brother Zhiyuan” Based on his habits, Taishi Ci wanted to say something to show his intimacy. However, when he heard the name Weapon, he was stunned and said, “What did you say? Are you Zhang Chao, the Zhang Chao of Chen Liu’s brother?”
“If it’s a fake one, then it’ll be fine.” Zhang Chao also didn’t expect that tardif had actually heard of him, he couldn’t help but be happy, in this way, some things would be much easier to do.
“Aiya, I’ve heard a lot about you. Especially in the Long Society War, your heroic performance has always made people admire you. I didn’t expect to meet you today. It’s truly a great honor to meet you.” Taishi Ci said with a very excited expression.
“Haha, that’s just a trivial matter. You shouldn’t praise it. Brother Zi, you shot a good arrow. This is truly admirable.” Zhang Chao also laughed heartily.
After announcing their names and knowing their identities, the relationship between the two sides began to heat up rapidly. Especially under Zhang Chao’s intentions, after getting three more jars of heroic drunkenness and three plates of dog meat, he borrowed wine to talk about things, and his relationship was strengthened even further.
“This hero is really drunk.” After he opened his mouth and drank half a jar, Taishi Ci sighed. “After drinking this wine, there is no taste in tasting other water wine. This is really a good gospel for winemen. Unfortunately, it is too expensive.”
As he spoke, Taishi Ci shook his head, apparently feeling regretful that he couldn’t drink this kind of wine often.
“Ah, what did you say? Has Brother Zi forgotten who made this Heroic Drunk?” Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Chao wanted to recruit tardif, so he started to set fire to it. As a subject, don’t you want to do is to share the master’s worries.
“Oh, haha, hahaha. Extreme, I forgot about this.” Taishi Ci patted his head and gulped down another mouthful at the wine jar, “I said the wrong thing. It’s time to punish him.”
