217. Chapter 217 Meeting the Governor
"Captain Governor, you...why are you like this? Are you injured somewhere? Or are you suffering from an illness?" Hua Chenluo had met Governor Zhang several times before. He was a strong man with a red face.
He was a mighty general who was very domineering and plundered cities and territories, but what he saw today was a listless old man with a disheveled face. In fact, Governor Zhang was not very old, less than fifty years old, but I hadn't seen him in a month.
There are a lot more hair on her head, and her eyes are sunken with heavy dark circles.
Governor Zhang wanted to stand up with support, but after several attempts he still failed. He smiled bitterly and said, "My nephew, Hua Xian, please forgive me for my inconvenience. I will wait for you."
"Sit down quickly. What's going on? Were you okay last time I came to see you?" Hua Chenluo poured a glass of water and wanted to hand it to Governor Zhang, but unexpectedly, the lady behind him secretly grabbed her clothes to stop him.
past.
"My dear nephew, don't come here, I... ah! It's hard to explain in words! It's my carelessness that made me look like this because of the Tatars' weirdness!" said Governor Zhang.
Dong Beier and Huali looked at each other. They both knew that the situation of Governor Zhang was exactly the same as the group of Jianzhou sergeants they met a while ago who were returning home to visit relatives. It seemed that someone had killed Governor Zhang.
Curse of the Living Corpse.
"Don't worry. The nephew of the Grand Governor will go find a doctor for you now. Even if he travels all over the Great Wall, he will find a famous doctor for you!" Governor Zhang is the support of Jianzhou City and even the entire Great Saibei. If he has any shortcomings,
Yes, I am afraid that the entire Saibei garrison will lose heart, and the situation will be out of control by then.
"Don't bother, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. You all sit down. If you don't come today, I will send someone to invite you. I would like to ask you, can you take back the food, wages and ordnance that I brought back a few days ago?
arrive?"
"I received them all. We are here to thank you." Hua Chenluo replied.
"Okay, okay, okay! Can my nephew see my intention?"
Hua Chenluo was about to reply to Governor Zhang's words, but unexpectedly his wife, Dong Beier, cut him off.
"Grand Governor, my husband is just a scholar, so how do I understand your intentions? Please make it clear, Grand Governor!" Dong Beier replied softly.
"Haha... My dear nephew, you are truly blessed to be able to marry Miss Xia, a good wife. It seems that Miss Xia has understood a little bit, right? Your father, Xia Yuanwai, is an old friend of mine, so
I don’t treat you as outsiders either. I don’t have much time, so I won’t hide you today!”
Governor Zhang, you have all seen the situation in Jianzhou City now. It will definitely not last long. Once the city is defeated, it will also mean that the northeastern gate of our empire will be opened and the Tatars can march straight in. The mediocrity of the empire over the years has been obvious to all, and the imperial court
It's not that there is no one available and no troops to send, it's that those corrupt officials are just trying to steal the people's wealth and support and refuse to save Saibei. We definitely have no hope.
Your Xia family and Hua family are now the most prestigious and financially powerful in the entire Saibei. Do you want to hand over our land in Saibei to the Tatars?
"Of course not, Saibei is our hometown, we won't go anywhere, we won't be slaves to the country's subjugation!" Hua Chenluo vowed.
