Chapter 101 The Prefect of Berkshire
.When Badong County was chased by the official army, Zhang Chi certainly did not dare to enter Yong'an, the county seat of Badong County, so he had to run back to the ship with a dark blade. Fortunately, some people in the Five Doks of Rice Road knew medical skills. The Five Doks of Rice Road fought everywhere for years, and of course they also had a role as a military doctor.
All three of them suffered injuries to varying degrees, among which Zhang Chi was the least injured, but he was shot into the calf by an arrow, and then he opened the arrow and applied some medicine. He would be fine.
The most serious injury was of course the dark blade. It was stabbed several times by a spear. It was unbearable to bleeding just by it, but the worst thing was the moment when the spear was stabbed in the chest.
Fortunately, Bai Xue was very fast and rushed back to the ship to treat him in time. If he had ordinary horsepower, he would probably die on the road.
After Zhang Chi applied the medicine, he limped to see the dark blade's injuries with the help of the wine lady.
The women who were originally rescued by Zhang Chi who were about to be cooked in the Five Doks of Rice Road have now been used to take care of the wounded. The women are meticulous and considerate when taking care of the injured.
When several women saw Zhang Chi walking in, they quickly stopped their movements and saluted Zhang Chi.
Their relatives were all killed, and their lives were saved by Zhang Chi, so they naturally burst into gratitude for Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi was injured in the leg and was inconvenient to help each other, so they sat down and asked the winery to help them up.
The woman was helped up and bowed to Zhang Chi and said respectfully: "Young Master should be more careful if you are injured. This lady has to take care of her. She will definitely be cautious. Please rest assured."
Other women looked restrained when they saw Zhang Chi and did not dare to speak. Only this woman spoke generously and appropriately. Before, when Zhang Chi was going to assassinate the General of the Northern Army in Kuaiji, she had some impression of her. However, the situation was urgent at the time and he had never asked. Now when he saw her again, he asked, "What's your name?"
"My servant is called Yu'er." The woman replied respectfully.
This name is common, Zhang Chi nodded, saw her holding a bowl in her hand, and asked with a smile: "What is this?"
"This is a blood-tonifying herb. This lady has lost too much blood and has been unconscious. I'll feed her."
Seeing that the dark blade had been covering her face, Zhang Chi said that everyone who had seen her face had been killed by her. Thinking that she had such a strange personality, this kind of thing might be done so that she would not be troubled in the future. Zhang Chi ordered the women and said, "You go out first, I'll feed her medicine."
After taking off the dark blade's veil, Zhang Chi saw the dark blade's appearance for the first time.
As Zhang Chi expected, Zhang Chi originally wanted a woman to mask her face all year round, even if she was not ugly, she had a medium-sized appearance at most. Who would be willing to cover her face up to her beautiful woman? Unexpectedly, now she is really a beauty when she is unveiled.
Although Dark Blade's eyes were still closed, his face was delicate and his facial features were as beautiful as the painting. I really couldn't imagine that an assassin would have such a beautiful appearance.
"Wow~" Zhang Chi couldn't believe that he could only exclaim as a modern person.
...
The dark blade was unconscious for three days and three nights, and it was only waking up on the fourth day, but it was still extremely weak.
"I'm not dead?" Dark Blade was a little disbelief.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Chi beside him, holding a bowl of porridge and said, "You are still hurt and can't eat too greasy things. Come and drink this bowl of porridge."
"You saved me? How long have I been in a coma?" Dark Blade asked coldly.
Zhang Chi knew that Dark Blade had such a personality, and he was cold to talk to the old helm leader, so he didn't care about it, just answered truthfully.
"Did you feed me porridge these days?"
Seeing Zhang Chi nodding, Danbian thought to himself, I was wearing a veil, how did he feed me porridge? He wiped his face with his hand and saw that the veil was gone. He suddenly screamed: "You took off my veil?"
Zhang Chi saw Danbian's surprised expression, and suddenly realized that it was not like the plot in the novel. The person who saw her face would either be killed by her, or she had to agree to her, right? I have heard of many bloody plots, but I have never encountered them.
Fortunately, Dan Blade didn't speak, and silently ended up with the bowl of porridge in Zhang Chi's hand, but the eyes of looking at Zhang Chi were not as cold as they were at the beginning, with a bit more complicated expression.
After chatting with the secret blade for a while, Zhang Chi realized that the "dog official" she was going to assassinate was the prefect of Badong County. Because the Hu people in the north were now mobilizing their troops to attack the six northern counties, but many officials in Shu had the intention of surrendering to the Hu people in private. They held heavy troops, but refused to send troops to rescue them. They saw that the six northern counties were about to fall into the hands of the Hu people.
The six counties in the north are the gateways to Shuzhong. If the six counties are lost, the Hu people can enter the plains of Shuzhong and there is no danger to defend.
The poor family originally formed an organization where refugees gathered in Shu and formed a bloody hatred towards the Hu people. How can the Hu people attack Shu again? Naturally, they hated the officials who refused to send troops to resist the Hu people's invasion. Therefore, the poor people began to assassinate such officials in various places, and the Badong prefect was one of the targets.
It’s a pity that the prefect of Badong was prepared for a long time. This time, the assassination was not successful. Instead, the poor branch was surrounded and suppressed by the official army. Except for the Dark Blade, all other brothers were killed.
Zhang Chi was a little depressed.
He originally thought that when Miss Wang asked him to come to Shuzhong, he must have been the officials in Shuzhong, and he had already laid the groundwork for him. But who would have expected that Shuzhong was also full of power.
If it were in the past, he wouldn't care about these things, and just find a safe place to live by. However, since he experienced Miss Wang's death and had a lot of things in Kuaiji, his ideas began to change. It is indeed difficult to be self-reliant in troubled times. Since he can't even be self-reliant, he might as well form a force to protect the people.
But now he came to Shuzhong and found that everything was far from that easy.
Seeing that Dan Blade was a little sad, Zhang Chi couldn't bear to talk more about what made Dan Blade sad, so he changed the subject and asked: "Is there any official in Shu who advocated resisting the Hu people?"
Dark Blade snorted coldly: "Officials only care about how much money and food he has plundered. How could he sacrifice his life to fight on the battlefield?"
It seems that Dark Blade has deep resentment towards the officials, and Zhang Chi didn't say anything even after a wry smile.
The dark blade is seriously injured and wakes up for the first time, so it is not advisable to talk too much. She should be asked to rest more. Zhang Chi talked for a few words and then came out on the deck. Looking at the wind, this is the area of the Three Gorges. In ancient times, the Three Gorges were more magnificent than the Three Gorges before Zhang Chi traveled through, but Zhang Chi now has no intention of enjoying the scenery.
While sighing, I saw several large ships coming downstream from the upstream from afar. There were elite soldiers on both sides of the ship, and the soldiers were uniform and heading straight for the fleets where Zhang Chi was.
Oh no, Zhang Chi screamed secretly.
A few days ago, he had a conflict with the government army at a poor branch and rescued the Dark Blade from the army. No wonder he was a little nervous when he saw the government army's large ship.
However, what Zhang Chi expected was that the big ship that took the lead had just arrived in front of him, and a general in armor had already shouted at Zhang Chi at the bow of the ship: "Young Master Zhang, it's you!"
Zhang Chi looked carefully again and was overjoyed. The person who came was Du Ximing.
Du Ximing quickly leaned over, got on the small boat where Zhang Chi was, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Zhang, why are you here in Shu now? You really made Mr. Ding and me very anxious."
Zhang Chi briefly told Du Ximing some of his experiences these days, and then asked about Du Ximing's current situation.
"The experience of our visit to Shuzhong is much more dull than that of the young master, but it is not as earth-shaking as the young master facing the Northern Palace Army to seize the commander." Du Ximing smiled and said, "Ms. Wang had an arrangement before his death. In the east of Shuzhong, there were two counties, Ba County and Badong County. The prefect of Ba County was originally from Xie's family. He had always followed Miss Wang and I were brothers who went to the battlefield with me. A year ago, Miss Wang sent someone to Shuzhong to serve as the prefect. Later, Miss Wang sent someone to wait for Mr. Zhang to follow the young master to come to Shuzhong. Now we don't have to go far along the river to reach Ba County."
It turned out that Ms. Wang had made arrangements, and Zhang Chi sighed in his heart that Ms. Wang really had a deep affection for her.
With Miss Wang as smart as she was, how could she not know the situation in Jiankang City? She used her life and death bet on her own. Although Miss Wang lost in the end, she arranged a way out for Zhang Chi early.
Ba County and Badong County, you can tell that Badong is east of Ba County. In fact, the reason why Badong is called Badong is because it is east of Ba County. Similarly, there are also counties called Baxi County to the west of Ba County.
He walked up the Yangtze River and arrived at Ba County before he walked for a long time. The capital of Ba County was also along the Yangtze River. The prefect of Ba County was named Qin Bo, and at this time he had already been waiting on the bank of the Yangtze River with Ding Yizhi.
Qin Bo was respectful to Zhang Chi. After a few greetings, he welcomed into the city and placed more than a thousand people from the original Five Doks of Rice Road first. A group of people came to the prefect's mansion. Qin Bo, the prefect of Ba County, had already moved out of the prefect's mansion and gave the place to Zhang Chi to live.
Zhang Chi waved his hand as soon as he heard this: "How can this be done? General Qin is the prefect of Ba County. If I first came to Shu, I would give the prefect's mansion to me. Wouldn't this be the magpie's nest?"
"How can't I do it?" Ding Yizhi said with a smile: "Since my brother has arrived in Ba County, he will be the lord of Ba County in the future. He will later merge Sanba to become a place for heroes to develop his business. This is what Miss Wang wants, so please do not refuse."
Ding Yizhi certainly hopes that Zhang Chi will take over Badong.
Qin Bo also insisted on this: "Miss Wang's will let me follow the young master, how dare I not follow me? Besides, Du Ximing and I were brothers. He was also the general of the Yamen Guard, but now he also followed the young master? Since the young master has arrived in Ba County today, there will be only the young master from now on, and there will be no prefect Qin Bo."
