Chapter 733 Sun Zhong
Time passed in a hurry, and another half a month passed, and business negotiations with various princes were completed one after another. Although the trade price dropped slightly, the final transaction price was still as high as 308 million gold!
After the price was negotiated, the princes shipped goods one after another. There is no favorable wind in the beacon fire, let alone an east wind, so the princes can only personally send their confidant generals to escort the goods to Pingzhou.
Fortunately, the current situation of melee among the princes has not yet begun, and it is no problem to send a small amount of troops to escort goods across the border.
Today, Shangji is going to receive a few special guests.
Niu Fu sent by Dong Zhuo and Guan Hai sent by Zhang Jiao came together to escort the highland barley wine and talisman raw materials needed by Shang Ji. Of course, with the identities of Niu Fu and Guan Hai, it is not worthwhile for Shang Ji to greet them in person. The person he greets is the great scholar Cai Yong!
After trade negotiations, Dong Zhuo finally let go and allowed Cai Yong to accompany him to Pingzhou to give lectures for a period of one month.
"Mr. Cai has come all the way, and he has worked hard all the way!"
Seeing Cai Yong coming out of the carriage, Shang Ji stepped forward two steps and greeted him personally.
"General Shang, you are too polite. An old man who is a rank-one rotten Confucian is not worthy of a general's gift." Cai Yong hastily returned the gift.
"Hahaha, brother Bojie, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you, and my style is even better than before!"
"Brother Yanfang (Wang Lie), brother You'an (Guan Ning)! Yong suffers from a lot of paperwork, but it's not as good as the two of you who are educating talents in Pingzhou!"
Seeing the two old friends, Cai Yong was also in a good mood, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he cupped his hands.
Several people were great Confucianists at the time, and they belonged to the same circle. It is not surprising that they knew each other. Shang Ji stood by and watched their politeness. After a quarter of an hour, Cai Yong said a little bit coyly: "General Shang, Can the old man have a look at the rumored Liangliangqin?"
Wang Lie and Guan Ning looked at each other and smiled, and didn't mind. It is well known that Cai Yong is fond of piano. The Jiaoweiqin was cast with a section of sycamore wood rescued by Cai Yong from the fire. Now that he has the opportunity to see the rumored Liangliangqin, Cai Yong has tried his best to bear it before opening his mouth until this time.
"Of course, I troubled Mr. Cai to go to Pingzhou just to make a round of Liangqin!"
Shang Ji smiled slightly, turned over a broken piano and appeared in front of everyone. Cai Yong's expression brightened, he rushed forward in twos and threes, grabbed the Qin from the Liangliang, and looked at it carefully.
Checking the Liangqin, the expression on Cai Yong's face is extremely exciting. Joy, pain, regret, and grief are intertwined and superimposed, which is quite interesting.
It took Cai Yong a long time to react, with an apology all over his face, he lowered his head and said, "I'm so rude, please forgive me, General!"
"It's okay!" Shang Ji laughed and waved his hands: "I've heard about the name Cai Gong's idiot Qin, and I saw it today, and it really deserves the reputation. I just don't know if Cai Gong is sure to restore this lingering piano?"
As soon as Cai Yong mentioned this problem, he immediately became proud, and raised his head and said: "General, don't worry, although the qin around the beam is destroyed, the main body is still there, so it is not difficult to repair. There are enough materials, and the old one can repair the qin around the beam within five days !"
"Material?"
Shang Ji frowned when he heard this,
The material that can repair the artifact should be very rare, right? I don't know if it's a good idea or not.
Seeing Shang Ji like this, Cai Yong didn't know what he was worried about, and immediately explained: "The main body of the Raoliang Qin is still alive, but there are two broken strings, Longchi, Fengzhao, Guanjiao, Chenglu, Qin Zhen, Yunmao and others were damaged, but overall the damage is not serious. Although the materials required for repair are expensive, they are not particularly rare. According to the old man's estimate, all the materials are about one million gold, and the general will not even Can't you get all the gold?"
Cai Yong said a lot of special terms about Qin, and Shang Ji was confused, how could he understand this thing! However, Shang Ji understood the last sentence of Cai Yong's question. The cost of materials needed to repair the qin around the beam was no more than one million gold!
"Don't worry, Mr. Cai. Although Pingzhou is bitterly cold, it is not impossible to spend one million gold. Mr. Cai, the treasury of Pingzhou, will give you whatever you want. As long as you can repair the Qin, you will be grateful!"
Cai Yong smiled: "There is no need to thank you very much. I can restore a famous piano through the ages with my own hands. Even if I pay for it myself, I will be happy!"
"Mr. Cai is a man of integrity, I admire him. I have already prepared a place for Mr. Cai in Xiangping Academy, please don't refuse."
"Excuse me, General."
Shang Ji turned to look at Guan Ning and Wang Lie, clasped his fists slightly and said, "I'm too busy with common affairs, so I can't entertain Cai Gong in person, so I ask you two to take care of him."
"The general is serious, this is the job of the subordinate!"
Wang Lie, Guan Ning and the two hurriedly said that Cai Yong came to Xiangping to give lectures in name. As the two representatives of Pingzhou's education circle, it was their duty to entertain Cai Yong.
After sending away the joyous Cai Yong, Shang Ji had time to look at Niu Fu and Guan Hai.
Niu Fu has a hulking back and waist, and looks very strong, but Fenghuo is different from the reality. A person's combat effectiveness has little to do with his body shape. Zhao Yun, a "thin" general who looks like a small butcher can beat 99% of the time Nine's sturdy generals.
Although it looked extremely fierce, Niu Fu was smiling all over his face at this moment, and cupped his hands at Shang Ji, saying, "I pay my respects to General Shang."
Niu Fu's official position at this time is General Zhonglang, far below Shang Ji's General Zhengbei, so he can only be called a lower official.
"General Niu, you're welcome. You've come all the way. Is the journey going smoothly?"
"Hahaha, thank you General Shang for your concern, but although this world is big, no one has the guts to rob General Shang and Xiangguo's goods!"
Niu Fu laughed and said loudly.
Shang Ji couldn't help smiling. Although Niu Fu's words were arrogant, they were really not outrageous. There are princes who are not afraid of Dong Zhuo, and there are more princes who are not afraid of Shang, but it is not certain that anyone dares to offend these two at the same time!
"General Niu has worked hard all the way. The general has already ordered someone to prepare a little wine. After the handover, I will invite the general to have a drink!"
"Thank you General Shang!"
Niu Fu cupped his fists, took a step back, and let Guan Hai behind him.
Compared with the smiling Niu Fu, Guan Hai's expression was quite unfriendly. If conditions permit, Shang Ji believes that he will stab himself to death.
"Shang Ji, everything you want is here, quickly hand over Brother Sun Zhong!"
Staring fiercely at Shang Ji, Guan Hai called out his name.
"Hmph, the moth thief dares to call the lord by his name directly!"
Guo Biao, who was behind Shang Ji, jumped out immediately, his beard and hair all stretched out, and glared at Guan Hai.
"Uncle Wu, you are a guest from afar, so don't be rude!"
"It's the lord!"
Guo Biao glared at Guan Hai and took a step back.
"General, although our two families were a bit dirty before, but today you are a guest, I will not care about you. But if you want to think that I am afraid of you, you can try it!!"
As he said that, Shang Ji's aura suddenly erupted, as if a real murderous intent enveloped Guan Hai, and the majestic aura was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, making Guan Hai's breathing immediately quickened.
However, this momentum came and went quickly, and calm was restored in the blink of an eye.
If it wasn't for the cold sweat on his forehead, Guan Hai even thought it was an illusion.
Seeing Guan Hai's lingering fear, Shang Ji nodded slightly in his heart. Although Guan Hai is also an S-level general, his strength is at the bottom of the S-level generals, and he is far behind the top S-level generals like Shang Ji.
The two fought fairly, and with all their strength, Shang Ji was confident that he could end the battle within twenty moves.
After being taught a lesson by Shang Ji, Guan Hai became a lot more honest. Although he looked at Shang Ji with resentment in his eyes, he did not dare to forget the basic etiquette. Theoretically, Guan Hai is the riding captain of the imperial court, and his official position is inferior to that of Niu Fu!
"General Shang, may I ask where my brother Sun Zhong is?"
"Bring Sun Zhong up!"
Soon, Sun Zhong was escorted up. At this time, Sun Zhong's complexion didn't look good, no matter how powerful that force was, he wouldn't build any luxurious prison. Sun Zhong stayed in the prison for three years, so it's no wonder his complexion is good!
It was the first time in three years that Sun Zhong was out of the cell, and Sun Zhong was still a little uncomfortable. He didn't know the real reason for being brought out, and thought that Shang Ji's patience was exhausted and he was about to behead him.
But at this time, Sun Zhong's expression was indifferent, with a feeling of being generous to die.
Three years is long enough, three years of hard thinking is enough for a person to understand himself. In this life, there are only great virtuous and good teachers!
The great virtuous teacher has educated himself, and he has grown from a starving man to an important Yellow Turban general. This kindness is not enough to repay after three deaths. The only pity is that his own strength is low, he didn't contribute much in the original Huang Tian's great cause, and he failed the trust of the great virtuous teacher in him.
Although it is a bit regrettable that he will be killed by a thief today, it is also expected. I should be impassioned, and try not to fall into the prestige of a great virtuous teacher!
"Brother Sun Zhong!"
While in a trance, Sun Zhong seemed to hear a somewhat familiar shout.
Sun Zhong shook his head in his heart, and secretly mocked: "Unexpectedly, the self-proclaimed hero Sun Zhong would have hallucinations before his death!"
"Brother Sun Zhong!"
"This hallucination...how is this hallucination so real?"
"Brother Sun Zhong, I'm Guan Hai! Did Brother Sun Zhong not remember me?"
Guan Hai took two steps out of three, and flew to Sun Zhong's side, grabbed Sun Zhong's thin body and said.
"Guan... Guan Hai? You are Brother Guan Hai? Brother Guan Hai, why are you here? Did the dog officer arrest you too?"
Sun Zhong's eyes widened, and he looked at Guan Hai who was so close in disbelief.
Guan Hai wept with joy, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Sun Zhong's expression was dull, and after a while he suddenly said: "Brother Guan Hai, so the great virtuous and good teacher still remembers my unworthy disciple, Sun Zhong?"
"Of course, of course, how could the great virtuous teacher not remember Brother Sun Zhong? It's just that the brothers who were defeated on the battlefield misrepresented that Brother Sun Zhong had dedicated their lives to Huang Tian's great cause, but they didn't expect that this dog...was traded." The general has been captured. After the great virtuous teacher found out, he immediately sent me to negotiate with General Shang and take you back!"
"Great teacher, Sun Zhong... Sun Zhong is sorry for you!"
Sun Zhong was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and suddenly began to cry, his voice was shrill, and everyone who heard it was sad.
Shang Ji watched quietly from the side, and became more and more curious about Zhang Jiao in his heart.
In fact, Shang Ji had never seen Zhang Jiao at all, but none of the senior generals of the Yellow Turban Army captured by Shang Ji surrendered to Shang Ji. At the beginning, Shang Ji only regarded it as a fanatical blessing under the state of fortune, but even after the end of fortune, Shang Ji still failed to recruit senior yellow turban generals like Sun Zhong.
Although he has never met Zhang Jiao himself, Shang Ji expressed his admiration for Zhang Jiao's personal charm! He even thought that if his generals were captured by the enemy, how many of them would be able to do what Sun Zhong did for three years?
While Shang Ji was feeling emotional, a sudden change occurred, and a strong aura erupted from Sun Zhong who was crying bitterly on the ground, which surprised Shang Ji suddenly.
This aura can't be said to be strong, it's comparable to Yang Cheng, Gao Xiang and the others bursting out with all their strength, but the "will" in the aura is extremely firm!
As far as Shang Ji knew, Sun Zhong was an A-level general when he was captured, but that was a level under the blessing of the Yellow Turban Army's fortune, and he was only a B-level general.
But at this time, Sun Zhong's aura has greatly exceeded the standard of ordinary A-level generals, and he is making great strides towards the peak A-level generals!
"Called... title promotion???"
After watching it for a while, Shang Ji realized that this Sun Zhong had encountered an extremely rare title of advancement.
After sitting in prison for three years, his strength soared after he was released. What kind of operation is this?
Including Shang Ji, everyone stared dumbfounded at Sun Zhong who was breaking through!
