Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 398 Zhang Liao: Young Master!
Only then did Zhang Liao look at Zhang Sui seriously.

He looked very sad.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't even beat this man in front of me who looked quite immature.

However, it must be said that the opponent is very powerful.

When I reached out to grab him just now, I clearly caught him, but he was twisted in an instant.

The force was so great that it felt like encountering an iron wall.

I feel he is just slightly weaker than Lu Bu.

How did you train at such a young age?

Feel like a monster!
At this moment, seeing that Zhang Sui had asked the question, Zhang Liao, although sad, still answered honestly: "I am from Yanmen, Bingzhou, Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan!"

Zhang Sui: “.”

Unexpectedly, the big man in front of me turned out to be Zhang Liao!
Thinking about the identity I had when I traveled through time and the identity I fabricated after traveling through time, I didn’t expect that I would use it today!
Zhang Sui pretended to sigh and said, "Does Wenyuan know who I am?"

Zhang Liao snorted and said, "When I came here, your guards told me that Yuan Shao's son-in-law Zhang Sui is the commander of the army heading south this time."

Zhang Sui shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."

Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Sui in confusion.

Not this one, then which one?
Does this person in front of me have another identity?
But what does that have to do with me?
Zhang Sui said with emotion: "Those guards didn't tell you that I am also from Yanmen County, Bingzhou."

"I didn't tell you that my husband is Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou."

"When I became Ding Gong's apprentice, Ding Gong was summoned by General He Jin to go to Jingzhao to serve the king."

"Mr. Ding had to leave and had no time to teach me."

“So, he gave me all his own books.”

"Before he left for the battle, he mentioned you, Lu Bu and Wenyuan, to me, saying that you have a promising future."

Zhang Liao widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Sui in disbelief.

Zhang Sui continued, "The reason why I was able to become the son-in-law of Jizhou Mu is because Jizhou Mu took pity on me because I was Ding Gong's only relationship."

When Zhang Liao heard what Zhang Sui said, his expression became gloomy.

Ding Yuan was not a native of Bingzhou.

It was rumored that he came from a humble background, but as an official, he promoted and valued young and promising people.

He was promoted from a small soldier by Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan had only one younger sister, who got married very early.

He also felt angry when Lu Bu stabbed Ding Yuan in the back before.

But I am just a floating duckweed in this chaotic world.

At that time, he had more than two hundred people from his hometown under his command.

Lu Bu joined Dong Zhuo, and the entire Jingzhao was shrouded in Dong Zhuo's bloody terror.

For the lives of more than two hundred fellow villagers.

Plus, he himself has a fear of death.

Therefore, he did not choose to avenge Ding Yuan.

He knew that if he sought revenge, he and the two hundred or so tribesmen would surely die.

Therefore, he chose to surrender to Lu Bu in a servile manner.

At least, as a comrade who once served the same lord, he joined Lu Bu and was closer to Lu Bu.

Over the years, he had woken up from dreams countless times in the middle of the night, dreaming of Ding Yuan questioning him over and over again in his dreams.

But now, when he saw Ding Yuan's disciple appear in front of him, Zhang Liao's face flushed with shame, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Sorry, I am not a human being."

"Mr. Ding was stabbed, and I didn't dare to stand up and resist."

"At that time we were in Jingzhao, surrounded by enemy troops."

“Everyone around me is from the same hometown.”

"Although I am afraid of death myself, and this is also a factor."

"But I am more afraid that more than 200 of my fellow countrymen will be killed by me." "Will—"

Zhang Liao was about to say "General", but before he could even say "General", he changed the address and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, do you know why the King of Chu committed suicide by slashing his throat at the Wu River instead of crossing it?"

Zhang Sui said nothing.

Zhang Liao's tears fell, and he sobbed and said, "At that time, I was the King of Chu at Wujiang Pavilion."

"I left Bingzhou with those people from my hometown and killed the enemy together."

"We once killed the Hu people together, drank the Hu people's blood, and we dreamed of serving the country together."

“But at that time, I was suddenly faced with a situation.”

"In order to avenge Lord Ding, all of us were surrounded and killed on the spot."

"Or maybe you can just live in shame and survive, and maybe one day you can return to Bingzhou and die on the way to kill the Hu people."

Looking up at Zhang Sui, Zhang Liao forced a smile on his tear-stained face and said, "So, young master, what do you think I should do?"

"If it were you, young master, what would you do?"

He wiped his face with both hands to dry his tears, then quickly stepped forward, knelt in front of the table in front of Zhang Sui, and said prostrate on the ground: "Since the young master is here, I am willing to bear the sin alone, and please let my fellow countrymen go."

"Dig out my heart."

"Young Master, please move faster."

"I, Zhang Liao, also want to see if my heart is black."

"Over the years, I have always wondered if I am an ungrateful and evil person."

"I'm not a good liar."

"I really thought about killing myself many times to atone for my sins."

"But every time, I was afraid of death and hesitated to take action."

"Now that the young master wants revenge, it happens that I have no choice."

“This is karma.”

Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Liao and sighed.

He really didn't know how to comment on Zhang Liao's surrender to Lu Bu after Ding Yuan's death.

He also thought about this period of history before traveling through time.

The only thing he could think of was that at that time, faced with such a situation, he would most likely join Lu Bu.

Compared to Ding Yuan, it is obvious that the lives of so many soldiers under his command are more important.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui said, "Get up!"

"What's past is past."

"Mr. Ding's death cannot be blamed on you."

"After all, Lord Ding is only your superior. Your fellow townsman is obviously closer to you."

"If it were me, I would probably do the same."

"Besides, the culprit is not you, but Lu Bu and Li Su."

Zhang Liao then choked up and said, "Thank you, young master!"

Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Liao, the strong man with tears all over his face, and shook his head and said, "Go and clean yourself up, and follow me from now on."

"Now that I'm here, don't tell me that you still want to follow Lu Bu."

Zhang Liao raised his head, wiped his face with both hands, suppressed his trembling, and said seriously: "I had no choice in the past. Now that the young master has come, Zhang Liao will naturally continue to follow the young master to atone for his sins, even if it means death!"

After saying that, he stood up, took out a talisman from his waist, held it up respectfully with both hands, and handed it to Zhang Sui, saying: "This is the talisman that Ding Gong was wearing after he was killed. I kept it. Now that it has been seen by the young master, I will return it to its original owner."

Zhang Sui took the amulet, nodded, and said to the outside: "Take General Zhang Liao to his own camp."

The guards outside responded.

Zhang Liao then bowed solemnly to Zhang Sui and left.
