Sun Qian had lost consciousness froeneral quickly checked for Sun Qian’s breath and shouted “He is still breathing!” This was huge a relief to him If Sun Qian dies, so would they If Sun Qian lived, they still had a chance to survive
“Be careful!” The man said as he ordered his soldiers to carefully carry the pale Sun Qian onto the carriage
“Where is Mi Zhu?” Jian Yong’s few re men asked Their jobs were to escort Mi Zhu but now Mi Zhu was er knehat to do
“Mi Zhu?” The 1000-men commander turned pale Mi Zhu was also here? Just Sun Qian alone would have killed them Now there was also Mi Zhu whose family had just received three titles It could be said that his position in the Liu Bei’s Arh If two important ministers were to die, how could these soldiers still be allowed to live?
“This is none of your business!” Jian Yong’s subordinates knew that they had spoken tooto be executed This was to be done quietly, away from public eyes That hy Mi Zhu was still an important minister favored by Liu Bei to others
“You!” The 1000-ry Even if this ht to speak to hi’s other subordinates took out a token, causing the 1000-men commander to shut up in fear He had never seen this token before but he had heard of it This token was given by Jian Yong and Liu Bei which signifies the importance of certain matters Those who know too much would disappear and then reappear as a corpse on the battlefield He then shook his head to dispel his fear and diverted his attention to Sun Qian “Are you guys all dead? Quickly bring the best doctors here!”
“General! What if they refuse to coave face to doctors as they knew that doctors were the only ones that could help if they fall ill or get seriously injured
“Are you an idiot? Give thee a them here forcefully!” The 1000-men co the doctor If Sun Qian were to die, so would he Why would a dead man need a doctor?
“Yes!” The subordinate quickly left on his horse
“What should we do now?” Jian Yong’s men discussed with each other Mi Zhu has disappeared and Sun Qian had received severe injuries Both are very big incidents
“The two of you! Quickly go and report this to Master Jian Yong and the Lord! The rest of us will stay with Master Sun Qian in case the eneain!” One of the leaders ordered
“Understood!” The soldiers nodded This incident cannot be hidden and had to be reported with haste

Turning back tied away and Sun Qian had left, Liu Bei and Jian Yong re period of silence, Liu Bei asked “Xianhe Do you think Mi Zhu had betrayedlike in the past so the usted and hu up the Mi Family’s contributions, it was also a fact that the Mi Family had helped him a lot If it was not for the Mi Fao Killing Mi Zhu uilt” Jian Yong replied He did not tell Liu Bei that he was right or wrong Being blunt had always resulted in a bad ending Wei Zheng was a good exa was too blunt, he still ended up being lashed to death
On the other hand, Jian Yong also did not want to be those useless ministers that only flattered their Lord The kind of people that would say that their Lord was right regardless of their Lord’s actions So he could only tell Liu Bei that he rong in a roundabout way
“Mi Zhu is guilty?”
“Yes Milord Mi Zhu is guilty for being too arrogant The Mi Faiven thenificant merchant It is the wish of e their position in life But he does not ad said this tothat Liu Bei hated was Mi Zhu clai about Mi Zhu’s betrayal
“However, I do not believe that Mi Zhu betrayed Milord!”
“Oh?” As a result of Jian Yong’s earlier state to keep listening to Jian Yong
“If Mi Zhu betrayed Milord, what could the ene was knowledgeable, he could not be co was unable to see the worth ofconsidered Mi Zhu an individual as worthy as Liu Ye and Xu Shu
Liu Bei and Jian Yong had no good impression of merchants A merchant cannot do business unless they were treacherous On top of that, there were plenty of things to be done in Yangzhou Why would they need ayou?” Jian Yong asked again Mi Zhu wanted noble titles While Liu Mang could give those titles, Liu Bei had already given the titles Why would Mi Zhu go to Liu Mang’s side when his objective had already been achieved?
“What about his siblings? Aren’t they all by Liu Mang’s side?” Liu Bei asked
“Milord Do you think he would care about such things?” Jian Yong asked back Liu Bei himself was such a person He would abandon his family for his own life
“If Mi Zhu was such a person, he would have already caed here by Sun Qian” Jian Yong explained Mi Zhu was a true merchant A merchant only cared about benefits
“So Mi Zhu is innocent?” Liu Bei frowned Jian Yong remained silent He did not criticize Liu Bei directly and instead, he helped Liu Bei to analyze and reach his own conclusion
“If Mi Zhu is innocent then what about Sun Qian?” Liu Bei narrowed his eyes Mi Zhu said that Sun Qian was a traitor when he begged for forgiveness If Mi Zhu was innocent, then Sun Qian was suspicious This is because Sun Qian was the one that caught Mi Zhu and even found Liu Mang’s letter
“Xianhe Go and investigate if there were any strangers approaching Gongyou recently See if there is anything abnor nodded He had quite a good relationshi+p with Sun Qian However, if Sun Qian had really betrayed Liu Bei, he would not showwas about to leave, two soldiers covered in bloodstains barged into the hall This person had Liu Bei and Jian Yong’s token so he was able to enter unhindered “Milord! So bad happened!”
“Hm?” Liu Bei frohen he saw those soldiers The blood was fresh and they looked like they just came out from a battlefield However, these tere assassins They would not fight on the battlefield So how did they end up so bloody?
“What happened? Why are you so flustered?” Jian Yong stepped forward and asked These tere his subordinates
“Master Jian Yong!” The two soldiers saluted
“Milord Master Jian Yong We were escorting Mi Zhu when… When…”
“Speak slowly No need to feel anxious” Liu Bei and Jian Yong shared a glance when they heard about Mi Zhu They thought that Sun Qian had betrayed them What else could it be?
“Master Sun Qian was severely injured by skilledWe were unable to protect hi?” Liu Bei and Jian Yong initially thought that Sun Qian was the cause Where did theseco We were unable to hold them off! Master Sun Qian was stabbed in the chest We do not know if he would survive Mi Zhu was taken away by these men!”
“What? What did you say happened to Sun Qian and Mi Zhu?” Liu Bei and Jian Yong both asked with their voice raised
“Master Sun Qian is severely injured and Mi Zhu was kidnapped by the men in black!” The two soldiers repeated
“Xianhe?” Liu Bei gave Jian Yong a questioning gaze Jian Yong was the one that said that Sun Qian was suspicious was Mi Zhu was innocent
“How could this be?” Jian Yong could not believe it but the bloodstain on his subordinates was real If Sun Qian was the traitor, ould he be severely injured? If Mi Zhu was innocent, ould he be taken away?
“Where is Sun Qian now?” Liu Bei asked after he saw Jian Yong’s panicked expression
“We sent Sun Qian back to his residence while a 1000-men commander went to find a doctor At that tiround!” The two soldiers did not dare to hide anything from Liu Bei
“Men! Prepare the horses!” Liu Bei beca this Sun Qian had been with hi to just kill Mi Zhu as the man was just a ent individual Although Liu Bei already had a top class strategist like Pang Tong, he still needed a second grade strategist toon his own?
It was not only provisions that Liu Bei lacked He also lacked talented individuals The price for losing Sun Qian would be too heavy
“Doctor! Bring all the doctors to Sun Qian’s residence! Gongyou must be saved!” Liu Bei ordered His eyes were a little red
“Jian Yong! Follow ’s courtesy na made him suspect Sun Qian
“Impose martial law i did not forget to iht be possible that Mi Zhu had not yet been brought out of the city They needed to find and question Mi Zhu
“Understood!”

“Is Master Mi Zhu well?” Mi Zhu as untied looked at Wei Yan, the robust and reddish looking soldier that cupped his fists towards him
“Who are you?” Mi Zhu asked carefully He saw these ’s subordinates so easily, showing their skill He also saw Sun Qian got stabbed which frightened him
“Master Mi Zhu Do you really not knoe are?” The Wei Yan asked as he drew his sword that was still covered in blood
“You are soldiers sent by the False King Liu Mang!” Mi Zhu replied His words i to the extent that they wanted to kill Mi Zhu Fortunately, Wei Yan stopped them
“Master Mi Zhu Do not think that on’t kill you just because we just saved you! If you try saying anything unnecessary, ill kill you on the spot!” Wei Yan warned with amade Mi Zhu shudder
