Chapter 1428: Zhang Yang: Have I committed a heavenly crime? [2]

"Please, Your Highness, King of Liang, take Hanzhong."

Su Gu stood before the hall, bowing to Duan Yu with his hands cupped.

Duan Yu stopped his footsteps and looked at Su Gu with a smile.

Diligent, clean, but not stupid.

Has principles, has a bottom line, but is not blindly loyal.

A talent worth molding.

And the people in the hall, seeing that Su Gu had already submitted, all hurriedly rose and bowed to Duan Yu.

"Please, Your Highness, King of Liang, take charge of Hanzhong."

"Please, Your Highness, King of Liang, take charge of Hanzhong."

Under the night sky.

The rear residence of Zhang Lu's mansion.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Duan Yu was now occupying the magpie's nest.

Zhang Lu's vast mansion had now been "usurped" by Duan Yu.

Except for Duan Yu, everyone who had been invited to the banquet tonight, including Su Gu, was temporarily unable to leave this mansion.

This was just in case.

Although Su Gu had already fallen into Hanzhong,

Duan Yu did not relax his guard.

Up to now, only he and the assassins from the Military Intelligence Department were in Nanzheng City.

If someone were to flip-flop, then this entire plan would have been a waste of effort.

At that time, it would be inevitable to have to take it by force.

Just a moment ago, Duan Yu had already ordered Liu Bai Tu to send a letter to the prepared Tie Shitou, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Feng, and also brought two of Su Gu's trusted aides straight to Hanzhong.

With Su Gu's military tally and documents, as well as Su Gu's trusted subordinates, Tie Shitou, Zhao Yun, and the others would not be blocked when leading troops into Hanzhong.

In the master bedroom of the rear residence, Duan Yu was soaking in a huge wooden barrel.

Steam rose, shrouding the room like a fairyland.

Maids were still continuously adding hot water to the wooden barrel.

Two maids with delicate features stood behind Duan Yu, holding silk towels and gently wiping Duan Yu's arms resting on the edge of the barrel.

And Duan Yu was leaning his head against the barrel, closing his eyes to rest.

Behind him, light footsteps sounded, and Duan Liuqing, wearing a white dress and clearly having dressed up carefully, came to Duan Yu's side gracefully.

Seeing Duan Liuqing arrive, the two maids immediately moved aside.

Duan Liuqing had known those two maids back in Chengdu.

After smiling at them, Duan Liuqing took the silk towel from their hands.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to get some good rest?"

Duan Yu did not open his eyes, but he knew it was Duan Liuqing.

"You traveled a long way from Chengdu; you should have had a good rest."

Duan Liuqing shook her head gently and wiped Duan Yu's arm, saying: "Master, Qing'er is not tired. Qing'er just suddenly remembered something and wanted to tell the Master."

"Master, although you have now taken Hanzhong, the roads in Yizhou are difficult to travel. Even if you march from Hanzhong into Shu Commandery, it will consume countless manpower and material resources."

"So Qing'er has a plan."

"It is like this, Master: although Zhang Lu is dead, Liu Yan in Shu Commandery does not know, and Zhang Lu's mother does not know either." ===== CHAPTER 1430 =====
