Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569
"Hey..." Zhang Lu was on the Chu army's warship, still sighing with long beard and short hair.

At this time, he was on his way to Jingzhou by boat along the Han River.

Although they boarded the ship in the south of Nanzheng City, where Sun Ce and others landed, Zhang Lu and his family were not able to enter Nanzheng City again.

The itinerary is also completely hidden from the public, without any disclosure!

Zhang Lu's previous proposal to assist the Chu State in stabilizing Hanzhong actually had no other meaning. He had already given up any "influence". He simply wanted to transfer the prestige of the "Heavenly Master" to the Chu State, which was regarded as a first step. Next work.

However, Zhao Yun still declined Zhang Lu's kindness...

The long-term influence of "Chu Studies" made Zhao Yun disdain to use any strategies to fool the people, and Zhou Yu also "suggested" to Zhao Yun in this way in his letter.

Zhou Yu also felt that instead of borrowing power at this time, it was better to trace the source from the beginning and there was no need to let Zhang Lu appear in Hanzhong again.

Therefore, Zhang Lu and his whole family were sent directly back to Jinling...

"Dad, I heard that Jinling is very prosperous and has many novelties, and...didn't dad say that the King of Chu won't treat us poorly? Daddy, don't worry!" Zhang Lu's youngest daughter Zhang Qiying saw her father frowning, so she Come and persuade.

"Qiying...what a pity for all your good strategies before!" Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh even more when he saw his little daughter.

Zhang Qiying is only 14 years old this year. The so-called good strategy is not a good strategy for governing the country and winning a decisive victory on the battlefield, but refers to... some improvements to the teachings and system of Tianshi Dao.

After Zhang Lu heard about it before, he also felt that it made sense and lamented that his daughter was a goddess descended from heaven.

It's a pity that we haven't had time to promote it yet...

Zhang Qiying looked a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said shyly: "Actually, it's not my daughter, it's..." Halfway through, she seemed to feel something and fell silent again.

Zhang Lu was already quite "Taoist" at this time and did not pursue what Zhang Qiying originally wanted to say.

After Zhang Qiying returned to the boat where she was resting, she saw another "girl" in the cabin who looked to be twenty years old. She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said: "Sister Ning, I'm sorry! I didn't say anything. Well?"

Zhang Qiying said and went over, holding the hand of "Sister Ning" and shaking it...

"Sister Ning" originally had a cold face, but when Zhang Qiying said it, she couldn't pursue it any further, so she was just blown away.

That's right, Zhang Qiying's previous advice to Zhang Lu was actually just a paraphrase of what "Sister Ning" said.

Zhang Qiying didn't know the origin of this "Sister Ning". She only knew that her surname was Zhang, and that she had been with him as a maid since she was a child.

It is said that Zhang Wei saved a poor woman when he was exterminating the bandits. In short, she is very familiar. The whole family was killed by the bandits, and she was the only one left, so she was taken in and taken care of.

It just so happened that Zhang Qiying had grown up at that time, so Zhang Wei "naturally" sent Zhang Ning to his niece as a maid... No wonder!
Where is it logical?

After all, Zhang Lu was also a prince, and that was seven or eight years ago. At that time, Zhang Lu was still a well-known figure among the princes in the world!
How could he just use someone of unknown origin to be his daughter's maid?

And according to Zhang Ning's appearance, with the bright new moon shining brightly and the flowers and trees piled with snow, Zhang Wei never thought of finding another way to repay her kindness?
This is not logical, it is obviously full of slots!
However, this was a question that Zhang Qiying only thought of after Zhang Qiying grew up and gradually understood more, and... Zhang Ning was not afraid to show her some magical things.

even……

Zhang Ning's appearance has hardly changed in the past seven or eight years, and no one seems to think there is anything wrong with it. No one even notices that she is "very beautiful", which is even more inconsistent when you think about it. feel!

But Zhang Qiying won't be afraid of anything. After all, she has gradually accepted Zhang Ning's "mystery" since she was a child.

like just now

When Zhang Qiying wanted to tell the truth to Zhang Lu, Zhang Ning's voice directly reached her ears!

In fact, Zhang Qiying even has a better relationship with Zhang Ning than her parents.

In the past, Zhang Lu didn't care much about her daughter. After all, Zhang Lu had many heirs. What's so strange about a daughter...?
It was only later that Zhang Ning asked her to reveal some "good ideas" to Zhang Lu that she got Zhang Lu's attention!

"Sister Ning, will you also go to Jinling with us?" Zhang Qiying asked worriedly.

Zhang Qiying is not stupid, and she can also guess that Zhang Ning must have his own purpose in staying in Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu has completely "lost power" now. It is easy to get the status of a reduced prince in Chu State, but it is impossible to be like Same as before.

Even if... Zhang Ning still has reason to stay in Zhang Mansion?Thinking of the possibility of being separated from Zhang Ning, Zhang Qiying was in a bad mood.

"Jinling... Well, I should also go and see the King of Chu. As for whether he will stay in Jinling, it depends on who the King of Chu is." Zhang Ning said after hesitating.

Zhang Qiying said with a sigh of relief: "Hehe, I hope King Chu will be more powerful!"

Zhang Ning rolled his eyes at the little girl and said nothing more.

That's right, the Zhang Ning of Zhang Qiying's maid... is the Zhang Ning of Huang Tianji!

In fact, not long after Zhang Ning returned to his hometown, he felt that the Yellow Turban Army had given up on Huang Tianzhi's ideals. He felt indignant and punished several Yellow Turban remnants who caused trouble, and then came to Hanzhong.

After all, apart from Huang Tian, ​​the largest Taoist sect at that time was the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Hanzhong, also known as "Tianshi Tao"!
Zhang Ning originally wanted to see if Zhang Lu's way of the Heavenly Master was really consistent with the way of Huang Tian, ​​so she would help him. She also wanted to use Zhang Lu's power to complete the unfinished business of the Yellow Turban.

When "Huang Tianji" disappeared in Guangzong, it was not as "out of control" as Yu Ji thought.

But Zhang Ning's method of reincarnating into Huang Tianji was not satisfactory, and some of the shortcomings left behind broke out. In order to save Huang Tianji... or to save his daughter, Zhang Jiao passed on most of his life to Zhang Ning!

Not only does it make up for her shortcomings as a "different concubine", but it also completely stabilizes her "human" side, giving her an autonomy that ordinary concubines don't have.

Just because Zhang Ning was not awake at that time, and Zhang Jiao felt that her fate was over, he sent an assassin to send her out of Guangzong...

By the time Zhang Ning woke up, Zhang Jiao had already died of illness, Guangzong had been defeated, and the Yellow Turban Army saw that it was all over.

Therefore, Zhang Ning has never held a grudge against Zhang Jiao, and even wanted to fulfill his father's last wish from the beginning.

Poor Zhang Lu, after all his efforts, he learned the news about Huang Tianji, and sent people to Chu Academy to look for her, but he didn't know... Huang Tianji had actually been in his house for a long time, secretly observing and testing her!

The results of the observation test have been disappointing Zhang Ning for seven or eight years...
