Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Emperor Master Wang Yue
He Jin’s sudden words made the Han Spirit Emperor feel very polite. Before Zhang Rang could say anything, he had already made up his mind.
The emperor gave the order, even if it was Zhang Rang, it was impossible for him to change it. He had to protect the emperor’s authority.
Just like that, something that was originally planned suddenly happened, and Zhang Chao became the Guang Ling satrap.
After learning about this matter from Yue Zhang, Zhang Chao was really depressed for a long time.
In history, Zhang Chao was the Guang Ling satrap. This was also the only job in his life, and it was also the last job. Originally, he thought that through his own efforts, he could change history, but now, it seemed that fate was sometimes very evil. No matter what, that sentence should be yours, it should be yours.
Tomorrow, he would announce the fact that Zhang Chao had become the Guang Ling satrap. After returning to his room, Zhang Second Childe became unhappy.
It was said that several of the capital’s main goals had been achieved, and there were even some other harvests. However, it was this final appointment that made him unsatisfied. If he couldn’t go to Bingzhou City smoothly, he wouldn’t be able to leave independently, so he could only continue to hibernate.
“Ah, forget it. Perhaps this is the will of the heavens. You want me to continue laying a good foundation, right? Even so, just wait and see.” Zhang Chao’s personality was filled with Ah Q spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly appeared here and could adapt to life and environment so quickly.
That is, things that cannot be changed, then don’t worry about it. Anyway, as long as there are soldiers in hand, it will be sooner or later for them to leave independently.
Zhang Chao was still young, and the last thing he lacked was time. Compared to those famous dukes in history, even if they were to endure, there were very few people who would be his opponents, so why were they in such a hurry? It was said that the Spirit Emperor was not dead, and even if the world was not in complete chaos, it might not be a good thing to go to Bingzhou City first.
After thinking about Zhang Chao, he prepared to sleep. Perhaps after receiving the decree tomorrow, it is time to leave Luoyang.
Zhang Chao wanted to sleep, but there was someone who didn’t want him to sleep. Just as his body fell on the bed, a loud shout came from outside the door, “Who is sneakily appearing here? Do you want to do something wrong?”
The sound came from Zhao Yun’s mouth, and then he heard the crisp sound of the long swords colliding.
With the sound of the sword striking, the entire backyard of Yue Lai Ju became brightly lit. There were Heaven’s Eyes members hidden in the corners of the small building. Those holding torches were all Zhang Jiajun’s youths. On the inner floor were eight brocade guards dressed in black. Inside were Zhao Yun and two swordsmen dressed in black.
Zhang Chao walked out of the room and ran upstairs just in time for Manager Wang De. He hurriedly said, “Second Childe, it’s too dangerous downstairs. It’s better if you don’t go down.”
“It doesn’t matter. Isn’t Ziyi standing here? What am I afraid of!” Zhang Chao pointed to a place not far away and said tardif, who had already set up his bow and arrow.
After the tardif heard Zhang Chao’s words, his heart became warmer, relying on the master’s trust in him, he had to protect it from the slightest bit of damage.
In the backyard downstairs, Zhao Yun was fighting against the two swordsmen with his sword. Now that he had shouted, the two sides had already exchanged more than 20 moves.
Being able to fight against Zhao Yun for twenty moves was not a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, a person who was still suppressing his head was not a mediocre person. Zhang Chao couldn’t help but be interested. Upstairs, he said, “Who is this person? Can you give me your name?”
“Who are you?” An elderly swordsman downstairs raised his head and asked. “In the capital, you actually have so many private soldiers. If it wasn’t for the fact that you wanted to rebel, could it be?”
Zhang Chao was very unhappy when he heard this, and his eyes revealed a trace of killing intent.
“Second Childe, does this person sound like someone from the government?” On the other hand, Wang De had heard something. In the capital, he had more experience in fighting with people from all walks of life than others.
“People from the government?” Hearing Wang De’s reminder, Zhang Chao nodded lightly. After looking at the two black-clothed men, he asked, “I am the Guang Ling satrap and General Dang Kou of the Imperial Court. Some of the generals beside me naturally deserve it. However, it is you. What is your ident. I.ty?”
“Guang Ling satrap? General Dang Kou? Could it be Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhiyuan?” It was the same old man who asked himself after hearing Zhang Chao declare himself.
The other party could guess his name based on his identity alone. It seemed that he should be someone from the Imperial Court. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhang Chao shouted, “Alright, they are all from our own people. Stop.”
After all, this was an important place in the capital. Killing the people in the government for no reason was not a good thing. Not to mention these two swordsmen were not simple, they were actually not inferior to Zhao Yun in swordsmanship, their identities were even more worthy of deep thought.
When Zhang Chao stopped, Zhao Yun stopped his sword, and the two swordsmen also stopped. After knowing that these people weren’t bandits, but officials of the Imperial Court, they didn’t have the mood to make a move.
Both sides stopped and Zhang Chao said upstairs, “I have already reported my identity. Please tell me the name of the guest downstairs.”
“I am Emperor Master Wang Yue. This is my disciple, Shi Ah.” The old swordsman in the courtyard said as he removed the black cloth from his face.
“Ah! It’s actually Wang Yue. No wonder he felt a little familiar just now.” It seemed that Wang De was the swordsman who had thrown him out of the capital. Wang Yue’s face darkened and he became nervous.
Zhang Chao would never forget that it was precisely because Wang De offended Wang Yue that he was thrown out of the capital and appeared in Chen Liu. He had also promised to help him smooth this matter over, that is, if he encountered it today, then he would solve the matter thoroughly.
“Don’t panic, I’m fine.” Zhang Chao stretched out his hand and patted De’s shoulder.
This comforting action instantly made Wang De feel warm-hearted. Only then did he remember that he was not the lonely swordsman of the past. He was now an organized and reliable person. “Second Young Master, I lost my composure,” he said with a face full of shame.
“Haha, I can understand.” Zhang Chao said with a smile.
This answer made Wang De feel grateful. Not only did Second Childe not blame him, but he also said that he understood. What else could he complain about serving such a master?
Zhang Chao looked away from Wang De and said, “It turns out that Emperor Master is here personally. It’s really a disappointment. In other words, why don’t you go upstairs and have a chat? I have a good hero who drinks and receives friends here.”
Zhang Chao was now the satrap, and granted the rank of general, speaking of status is not low, open to invite, how can wang Yue not give face? “That’s good, then I’ll disturb you.” As he spoke, he withdrew his sword and brought his disciple upstairs.
Wang Yue, Zi An Rui, a famous swordsman at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in Yandu. He was skilled in assassination and longsword techniques. Legend has it that he was stronger than Lyu bu and was invincible in a one-on-one duel. However, his utilitarian heart was too heavy. He wanted to be an official in the Imperial Court, so he became the swordsmanship enlightenment teacher of the Emperor Liu Xian Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was known as an Emperor Emperor Master in the capital.
Emperor Master was also one of Wang Yue’s favorite titles. In his opinion, this was the symbol of his status.
Often, when someone was willing to address him as an Emperor Master, he would be able to speak properly. On the contrary, he would feel disgusted, and it was unknown if the sword was unsheathed.
In the private room upstairs, Zhang Chao and Wang Yue sat opposite each other. On the table was the best Overlord Drunk.
“Haha, I really didn’t expect that Emperor Master would personally come. This is truly a great honor for me.” As Zhang Chao complimented Wang Yue, he filled his glass with wine.
When the wine entered, the fragrance immediately filled the room, causing his disciple, Shi Ah, who was standing behind Wang Yue, to wrinkle his nose. Obviously, the smell moved him.
Wang Yue also looked intoxicated, but what he was immersed in was not the fragrance of wine, but what Zhang Chao said.
These words seemed to raise his status very high, making Wang Yue extremely happy.
Looking at Wang Yue’s arrogant and complacent expression, Zhang Chao couldn’t help but deny what he had just thought in his heart.
At the beginning, when he saw that Zhao Yun could not defeat the two swordsmen, he had the intention of recruiting them. Such a person was definitely a talented person in terms of martial power. Moreover, he was a great talent. If he could use it for himself, it would definitely be a good thing.
However, when he heard that the other party was actually Wang Yue and liked to hang the title of Emperor Master on his body, he knew that it was best not to say anything.
This was a person with an extremely serious utilitarian heart. With his current status, he was still unable to satisfy the other party’s thirst for power. In other words, recruiting would be extremely difficult. Perhaps it would also cause trouble. Once the matter failed and he spread the news, even an Emperor Master would be summoned. There would be people who would accuse him of malicious intentions.
Zhang Chao didn’t want to take risks. Although Wang Yue’s swordsmanship was indeed very powerful, and even Zhao Yun was no match for him, he was still clear-headed about what kind of person he could use and who couldn’t.
Even if he couldn’t recruit them, Zhang Chao would be much more relaxed when he started chatting.
Zhang Chao flattered Wang Yue and made him happy. At the same time, he replied, “Where is it? General Zhang is young and promising. For the sake of the country and the people, he is likely to make a big difference in the future. At that time, please have a chance to help this old man.” Although Zhang Chao had the title of Guang Ling satrap, it was only a vacant post. On the contrary, General Dang Kou was the real post. For this reason, those familiar with the Dao were all called his general, not the satrap
“There’s plenty of room for improvement. It’s just that it’s hard to say if I can help you.” Zhang Chao smiled, thinking like this in his heart.
“Hehe, that’s natural. Actually, I still need Emperor Master to help me. I’m always by the Emperor’s side. If I have the chance to put in a few nice words, I’ll be able to endlessly enjoy it.” Zhang Chao was lying, and after he finished speaking, he lightly nodded to Zhao Yun, who was standing beside him.
