Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 377 Chen Deng
Let’s talk about Zhang Sui, Tian Yu and others returning to the city.

Tian Yu became depressed all the way.

Zhang Sui was too lazy to comfort him.

It must have been difficult for him to accept what Mi Zhen said about Liu Bei!

But then again, among the men in the Liu family, except for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, it seems that few of them care particularly about their families.

Not long after the group entered the city, they saw Mi Zhen again.

At this moment, she was leading a horse and talking to a man.

Not long after, two big men were seen coming over with silk in their arms.

After handing the silk to Mi Zhen, the two big men followed the man and left, leading the horse.

Zhang Sui: “.”

Mi Zhen is really a good businessman.

The buyer was found so quickly and the horse was sold.

With such a rush, the price must have been kept very low.

But looking at her expression, it seemed like she had no hesitation at all.

When Zhang Sui and others were looking at Mi Zhen, Mi Zhen also noticed Zhang Sui and others.

She just glanced at Tian Yu coldly and left.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun said to Tian Yu, "This is Lord Xuande's family affair. Outsiders should not interfere. We also have things to do."

Tian Yu nodded, and headed straight to the south of the city with Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun and others.

A group of people passed by the White Gate Tower.

Heavy troops were deployed near the White Gate Tower.

Zhang Sui looked at the White Gate Tower from afar.

After passing the White Gate Tower, we didn’t walk far before arriving at an area of ​​residential buildings.

The mansion here seems more magnificent than other places.

As Zhang Sui and his group approached, several people surrounded them from all directions.

A middle-aged man asked, "You look unfamiliar. What are you doing here?"

Zhang then handed the brocade bag that Chen Deng had given him to the middle-aged man and said, "I am a good friend of Chen Yuanlong, and I came to see you as invited."

The middle-aged man took the brocade bag, looked Zhang Sui up and down, then turned around and led the way while asking Zhang Sui to follow.

The several people surrounding Zhang Sui still maintained their encirclement.

Not far away, we arrived in front of a big door.

On the lintel of the gate, there is a plaque with the two big characters "Chen Mansion" inscribed on it.

The door was wide open.

Directly opposite the gate stands a brick wall with various exquisite patterns painted on it.

Outside the gate, on both sides, stood four young men holding sharp blades.

The middle-aged man asked Zhang Sui and others to wait outside while he went in with the brocade bag.

After a while, a figure in gorgeous clothes came out in a hurry.

The figure looked to be in his thirties, with a long beard, red lips and white teeth, a sword hanging from his waist, and a feather fan in his left hand.

As soon as he appeared at the door, the figure smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest. I am guilty of not welcoming you from afar!"

Zhang Sui went to meet him.

Tian Yu followed closely behind.

When the two sides met, the figure bowed first and said, "Chen Deng, I greet the general!"

Zhang Sui returned the greeting and said, "The name of Chen Yuanlong is well-known. Seeing him today, he is indeed very heroic."

Chen Deng smiled, nodded to Tian Yu, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Sui and his party entered the mansion under the leadership of Chen Deng.

Chen Deng glanced at Tian Yu and asked, "What did the country ask you to do?"

Tian Yu said: "After bidding farewell to my brother last time, I have been in my hometown. Recently, I have surrendered to my lord."

Chen Deng nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

The group followed Chen Deng into the hall. Zhao Yun and others stopped outside the hall door.

Chen Deng asked Zhang Sui to sit in the first seat, and he sat on the left side below. He said, "My father is out today and is not here. He will be back in the evening."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "No hurry, I will stay in Xia Pi for a while this time to experience the customs and people of Xia Pi."

"I will not leave until the army reaches Pengcheng."

Chen Deng: “.”

Seeing that Chen Deng did not reply, Zhang Sui asked, "Why, Yuanlong, you invited me here, but now you don't welcome me?"

"Or have you not greeted Cao Cao yet?"

Chen Deng's expression changed slightly.

He had originally planned to look for Cao Cao during this time!

Because I suddenly received a letter from Zhang Sui, I temporarily canceled the trip.

However, he only told this to his father, and no one else knew about it.

How did Yuan Shao’s son-in-law know this?
Zhang Sui looked at Chen Deng's face and smiled.

Historically, Chen Deng was a fence-sitter.

At this point, Chen Deng went to Xudu to meet Cao Cao, and worked together with Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu.

Zhang Sui continued, “Yuanlong, as the junior of Grand Commandant Chen Qu, it is a big problem for you to just go with the flow.”

“Far water cannot save a near fire.”

"Before, I only used one thousand cavalry and four thousand Black Mountain troops to make Cao Cao afraid to act rashly."

"Langya County has surrendered."

"It only took me one evening to capture Ju County, the seat of Langya County."

"This time I brought 4,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry."

"Yuanlong, do you want to make a bet?"

Chen Dengqiang laughed and said, "What do you want to bet on, General?"

Zhang Sui smiled and looked at Chen Deng and said, "I bet if you go to Xudu now, Xuzhou will still be there before you come back."

Chen Deng: “.”

Zhang Sui stood up, stretched his back and said, "Please arrange a place for me to stay. I will stay here for a while and walk around."

"One day when you and your father have worked out a plan to deal with the situation, come back and tell me."

After Zhang Sui finished speaking, he walked towards the threshold.

Just as he was about to take a step, Zhang Sui stopped again, looked back at Chen Deng who was still sitting in his original position and said, "I am just a son-in-law under my father-in-law."

"But my second eldest son will be my father-in-law's grandson."

"Also, I just defeated Zang Ba of Langya County and came here. The eldest son brought back a total of 60,000 elite soldiers to Beihai County."

Chen Deng frowned.

He hated the feeling of being threatened!
However, he felt a little aggrieved at the moment.

How did this person know that he was connected to Cao Cao?
If Lu Bu knew this, he had no doubt that Lu Bu would kill him.

However, it is certain that Lu Bu is on guard against himself.

By then, their army will be at the gates of the city again, which will be a difficult situation.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng followed and walked out, saying with a smile: "I had expected the general to come, so I have prepared the house and am waiting for the general to come."

Zhang Sui and his group followed Chen Deng away.

After Zhang Sui and his group left, an old man with a frail appearance walked out of the hall.

The old man looked at Zhang Sui's back as he left with Chen Deng and others, stroking his gray beard with his dry fingers, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he murmured to himself, "It is indeed much better than the dry bones in Yuan Shu's tomb."

"It seems that the world will change its surname to Yuan."

Chen Deng arranged rooms for Zhang Sui, Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, Huang Han and Zhen Hao, and asked the maid to bring clothes.

Chen Deng bowed to Zhang Sui and said, "General, please take a bath and change your clothes first. I will go and prepare the banquet."

After that, he left.
