Forty-three white soldiers were all Liu Bei had, and now they were all given to Chen Dao, which surprised Liu Chan.
"They will act as guards to protect you and Mistress.
My lord has temporarily handed them over to me.”Chen Dao said.
Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh," It's a waste of talent to use these elites to protect me."”
"Protecting the young master and mistress is the most important thing.”Chen Dao said.
"Uncle Dao, there are too few people here." Liu Chan smiled.
You might as well go and tell my father to increase the number of white soldiers to a hundred.
My father told me not to reject the money. My mother definitely has money.”
Although the cold drink business had yet to leave Jingzhou, it was definitely doing well in Jingnan. With the help of the administrative power, cold drink shops had opened in almost every county. Mrs. Gan was now making a lot of money.
The future of this business was limitless.
Liu Chan still had many ways to do business.
He didn't have to worry about money at all.
"Alright, then I'll go and tell the lord.”
"Why are you holding three commoners?”Liu Chan saw a group of soldiers escorting three commoners and couldn't help but mutter.
Chen Dao glanced at Liu Chan and said," Young Master, I'm afraid these three are not civilians. They should be the defeated Cao soldiers disguised as civilians and were captured by us."”
"How did you know?" Liu Chan asked curiously.
Chen Dao pointed at the three people's legs." Young Master, look at how they walk. Their feet are steady and they usually land on their heels. This shows that they are martial artists. Another reason is to feel their aura. They have killed many people.”
"The three of us are the ones who burned the rations in the city.
It's not the Cao Army." As if he had heard the conversation between the two, Ma Shun casually said.
" Stop!" Liu Chan asked the escorting soldiers to stop." Since he is a righteous man who helped us, why did you capture him and tie him up with ropes?" Hurry up and untie me."
"Young master, these three people's identities are unknown. They are just saying things without any evidence. We suspect that they are Cao Cao's spies.”
Liu Chan asked a white soldier to untie Ma Shun and the other two while saying to the escorting soldier,""I'll leave these three behind.”
Ma Shun lowered his head and looked at the little Liu Chan. He asked tentatively,"The son of the Left General?"
"You heard them call me Young Master." Liu Chan nodded.
Tell me who you are."
Ma Shun told Liu Chan everything that had happened in the city. When he was done, Ma Shun said,""Everything I said is true. Please believe me, young master.”
"I believe you, because the messenger pigeon you sent out from the city was intercepted by me.”Liu Chan said.
Seeing that Liu Chan believed him, Ma Shun suddenly knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face,""I only hope that young master can let me go. My wife is still in the city.
I want to find her."
"You said you're from Liangzhou?" Liu Chan asked Ma Shun. How long have you lived in Liangzhou?"
"Twenty years."
"Then how much do you know about Liangzhou?"
"I know a thing or two about the local customs.”
Liu Chan was satisfied.
Ma Shun, are you willing to join our army?”
Ma Shun knelt on one knee and fell silent. Liu Chan saw this and asked a white-armored soldier beside him to take off the silver waist token that symbolized his identity and throw it to Ma Shun."With this, you can travel freely in the city and no one will stop you.
If you are willing to join my father in the future, you can come to the army to find me with this order.”
Ma Shun knelt on both knees and bowed.”
"With gold on his knees, a good man doesn't have to humiliate himself like this.
Get up and quickly go find your wife.”Liu Chan said.
Ma Shun stood up and looked at his two companions.
"Are the two of you willing to join the army or follow Ma Shun?”Liu Chan asked.
The two of them looked at each other and said to Liu Chan,""We will follow Brother Ma!"
"The two of you will stay in the army. With your abilities, it won't be difficult for you to gain merits in the army."
You won't have a future if you follow me."
"If the two of you don't listen to me, then don't blame me for not recognizing the two of you as brothers.”Ma Shun's words stopped the two who were about to speak.
"The two of you can join the White Soldiers.”Liu Chan said.
"Thank you, Young Master." The two bowed and thanked him.
"What are your names?" Liu Chan asked casually.”
"I'm Yin Shang, from Liangzhou."
"I am Liang Xu, also from Liangzhou.”
Liu Chan looked at the two of them with a smile and said,"Stay well among the white soldiers."
In the future, it is not difficult to lead the army to kill the enemy and become a marquis or general.”
The two of them thanked him again.
Ma Shun saw that the arrangements were done and bid farewell to Liu Chan and Chen Dao. Yin Shang and Liang Xu were reluctant to part, so Ma Shun said to the two,""My wife is still alive, so I will leave. If my wife dies, I will come and seek refuge.
We brothers will finally reunite.”
"Let's leave tomorrow. Uncle Dao, get someone to bring the two of them to familiarize them with the military rules.”
Chen Dao was surprised. He turned around and looked at Ma Shun's back as he left."Is Young Master waiting for him?"
"He will come back."
"I'm going back to sleep."
At this moment, at the pier of Jin Xiang Ferry, Guan Ping and Huang Xu stopped their horses by the side of the road.
"Tell me, why isn't he here yet?"
"Sigh, if Ah Dou knew that we were going back to the police station with him, he would definitely be very happy.”
"So we have to give him a surprise.”Huang Xu said.
Guan Ping nodded.
They should be here soon."
When Liu Chan woke up, it was already noon. Guan Ping barged into the tent and said that Liu Chan had lied to him.
"I was sleeping the whole morning. How could I lie to you?”Liu Chan felt very innocent when he saw Guan Ping's expression.
"Aren't you going back to the Public Security Bureau today?"
"I changed it at the last minute. I'll be back tomorrow.
What's wrong?" Liu Chan looked puzzled.
"Huang Xu and I waited for you at Jinxiang Ferry for the whole morning.”
Liu Chan looked at Guan Ping's indignant face and burst out laughing. Guan Ping was angry, but he could not flare up. He could only leave resentfully.
In the distance, thick black smoke billowed, and a stench wafted from afar. It was nauseating.
" They're burning corpses, aren't they?" Liu Chan looked at the black smoke rising into the sky.
The thousands of corpses in Jiangling City had chosen to be burned. This was the root cause of the plague.
Eliminating the plague was Liu Bei's second battle in Jiangling.
Ma Shun returned in the afternoon. It wasn't like the legendary novels where the hero finally lived happily with his beloved.
His wife, Ying 'er, was not killed because she was full of pets. However, she was already seriously ill and had been buried for several hours without anyone to rescue her. She was no longer breathing.
After Ma Shun buried her, he found the corpses of his brothers who had burned the rations with him. He buried them one by one before returning to the barracks.
After handing Ma Shun over to Chen Dao, Liu Chan continued to do nothing.
