Two days later, in the same place, the sun was just right.

Sun and Liu arrived as agreed. In addition to the people involved in the negotiations, there were two boats parked nearby. The larger one held the ransom, and the other was a small fishing boat with a shed.

Zhuge Jin's face was filled with joy, he raised his hands in salute and said, "The 160 million yuan is all on this ship. General Lan can send someone up to check it out."

Lantian knew from the draft that the cargo on the ship was not light. He waved his hand and said boldly: "How can a mere one or two hundred million be insignificant? I trust Tzuyu's character. Moreover, this is our first transaction, so of course we must be honest."

Lord, there’s no need to check again, right?”

"Well...the general is so heroic..." Zhuge Jin proposed to inspect the goods, also to check whether it was Lu Meng, but seeing that Lan Tian was so generous, he was embarrassed to mention it again.

"I think it's getting late. How about we change ships and go back to discuss the follow-up transaction as soon as possible?" Lan Tian suggested.

"Very good." Zhuge Jin nodded in agreement.

Gan Ning took out his whistle and blew it, and the sailor who was operating the boat swung the oar to sail the fishing boat over. Zhou Tai signaled with his flag, and the cargo ship loaded with coins also slowly moved north.

Zhuge Jin stood on tiptoe and looked forward. He vaguely saw a person sitting under the fishing boat shed. As expected, his upper body was covered with a black cloth. He thought to himself, you almost know your cards, why are you pretending to be a ghost?

"Mr. Ziyu, how about we set off together, each boarding his own boat?" Lan Tian extended his hand to signal.

"Thank you, General, for taking care of me..." Zhuge Jin bowed his hands and saluted.

The entourages on both sides kept a distance and walked to the river side by side. The sailors on the oars also changed boats. When everything was ready, both parties boarded the boat at the same time.

"Weigh the anchor quickly and set sail." Lan Tian ordered immediately after boarding the ship, and Gan Ning followed suit and ordered the sailors to row the oars.

On the other side, the fishing boat was tossed back and forth by the Yangtze River because of its small hull. Zhou Tai grabbed the bow rope to fix it, and asked his followers to help Zhuge Jin onto the boat.

"Grand Governor?" Zhuge Jin called softly after getting on the boat. He only saw the man's body moving slightly, but he did not respond to him.

At this time, Zhou Tai also boarded the boat. When he saw Zhuge Jin dumbfounded, he strode up and took off the black cloth. It turned out that the prisoner's hands and feet were not only tied up, but his mouth was also stuffed with cloth.

say.

"Captain, let me help you." Zhou Tai removed the cloth stuffed in the other person's mouth, moved the messy hair from his forehead, and an unfamiliar face appeared in front of him.

Zhou Tai was so frightened that he stepped back, causing the fishing boat to sway from side to side. He pointed at the prisoner and shouted: "He is not the governor, Mr. Ziyu, we have been fooled. Hurry up and catch up with Lantian."

The sailors moved after hearing the order, but there were only four oars on the boat and they couldn't move faster even if they wanted to.

Zhuge Jin panicked and ran under the shed. He found that the person was neither Lu Meng, nor Pan Zhang, Han Dang, Zhu Ran and others. Suddenly, there was a buzzing in his head. Was it Lan Tian who had deceived him?

No, Fangzhou Mu was not so mean, Zhuge Jin hypnotized himself.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Tai grabbed the prisoner's collar and asked fiercely, but the prisoner's eyes were blank and he was not willing to answer at all.

Zhuge Jin was a little panicked. He staggered to the bow of the boat and shouted at the top of his lungs not far away: "General Lan, please stop the boat. I have something to say. I'm wrong..."

As expected, Lan Tian ordered the people to stop, and walked to the stern of the boat, smiling and clasping his fists: "Mr. Ziyu, what else can you do?"

Seeing that he was calm and composed, Zhuge Jin felt even more confused. He quickly asked: "General Lan made a mistake. This prisoner of war is not the governor at all. Send him back quickly."

"When did I say that this prisoner was Lu Meng?" Lan Tian asked back.

"You're talking about a senior general. Who else could it be if you weren't Commander-in-Chief Lü Meng? If you want to maliciously deceive my lord, do you know how serious the consequences will be?" Seeing Lantian cheating, Zhuge Jin felt something bad in his heart.

Lan Tian replied solemnly: "My general is an honest man, so how can he do dishonest things? Does the senior general represent Lu Meng? His military position is nothing more than that of General Huwei."

"Don't worry about Zi Ming's military position. He is the Commander-in-Chief of Jiangdong. Besides, I don't even know this person. You can't just find someone to fill the position, right?" Zhuge Jin argued.

Lan Tian frowned and said, "The man on your boat is called Yu Jin. He is General Zuo under Cao Cao. His military position is not better than that of Lu Meng. Isn't a senior general worthy of his name?"

Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai behind him were both confused. Jiangdong spent 160 million in exchange for a general from Cao Ying?

"But what we are redeeming is General Jiangdong. Even Cao Cao himself is not interested in us. General Lan will exchange it for us." Zhuge Jin quickly bowed and begged.

"The ransom goods have been delivered, how can you ask for an exchange at will? If you want to exchange if you are not satisfied, wouldn't things be messed up? How much time do I have to play with you? Besides, this is the rule of secret redemption. Since you have enjoyed the low price,

You have to take the risk because you are greedy. Now you are redeeming your mistake and you are no different." Lan Tian said with certainty.

"But...but I can't do the job..." Zhuge Jin was so anxious that he almost cried.

Lan Tian frowned and stroked his beard, "Tzuyu, please go to those trading houses and ask. The so-called goods cannot be returned or exchanged after leaving the cabinet. It is indeed your fault that you were wrong in the first place, but it doesn't matter if you spend a little money. Yu Jin has a high status in Cao Cao's heart. You guys

You can definitely resell it to him."

"Ah..." Zhuge Jin was at a loss.

Lan Tian waved his hand: "Tzuyu should take Yu Jin back to recover first. If not, my fleet will wait here for a while. Maybe your master also wants to buy some mid-level generals?"

"I..." Zhuge Jin said sadly.

Zhou Tai came up behind him and admonished, "This person deliberately set a trap for us. This fishing boat can't catch up with Lantian. We should go back to the lord first. At worst, we will fight them with the navy."

"That's all we have to do." Zhuge Jin was beating the cucumber like a frost, but she didn't have much strength.

The two took Yu Jin on board the ship. Everyone on the ship was stunned when they saw that it was not Lu Meng. Sun Quan got angry in public and scolded Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai, then sent someone to take Yu Jin down to the cabin and put him there.

After the violent storm was over, Sun Quan asked the civil and military officers on board to express their opinions. He had already suffered the loss of being dumb, so he could not let go of those prisoners.

Gu Yong complained in a low voice: "I said that I would first redeem the mid-level generals to prevent Lantian from being cheated and lose less. Now I have spent 160 million to redeem them in the ban..."

"Okay, that's the end of this matter." Sun Quan suddenly shouted angrily, which shocked Gu Yong's body.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Sun Quan continued to ask with empty eyes: "Xuan Owl is a scoundrel in the market. I had a bad impression of him the first time I met him. You can't keep playing this kind of tricks. Does he have any words left?"

"General Lan gave us the news. The rest of the redemption transaction has not been finalized yet..." Zhuge Jin lowered his head and answered.

Sun Quan slammed the railing and said, "How brave, Youping. Send the order for the warship to enter combat readiness. I want to go and meet him in person."

"Wei." Zhou Tai nodded and clasped his fists.

"What a humble job..." Zhuge Jin knew that he had failed in his job, so he faced Sun Quan speechlessly.
