Chapter 251 The rich merchant Mi Zizhong

The news of Xuzhou's change of ownership quickly spread all over the world, and the world was shocked for a moment. Lu Bu was proud, while Tao Qian was dejected. On the day after he passed the position of Xuzhou Mu to Lu Bu, he took the whole family and the young to start his escape career.

This is mainly because Mi Zhunian treated him well in the past, for fear that he would be persecuted by Lu Bu in the future, so he took the initiative to take Tao Qian away with him.

Although Tao Qian has a home, his hometown Danyang cannot go back at all. Although he originally worked in Xuzhou, he seemed to be unwelcoming here after he stepped down, so he almost had no relatives now. At this moment, Mi Zhu extended a hand of friendship, and of course he agreed without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Zizhong. I, Tao Qian, have gained the most in Xuzhou for so many years. It is not the power, status and reputation, but your friendship." Tao Qian sighed deeply and thanked Mi Zhu repeatedly.

Then, Tao Qian and his family put on makeup under Mi Zhu's arrangement and became ordinary businessmen, and followed Mi Zhu to quietly leave Xia Pi City.

"No need to do this? Will Lu Bu do anything to me? After all, I passed on his Xuzhou Mu to him."

When he just left, Tao Qian saw Mi Zhu asking him to disguise himself, and was confused, and felt that this was really a bit fussy.

However, at this time, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old said to him: "Uncle, you must be careful in everything. The child heard that Lu Bu has always been greedy and cruel. If he has bad thoughts, we may really be in danger without being prepared."

When Mi Zhu saw the girl, his eyes lit up and he asked, "I don't know who this little lady is?"

Seeing this, Tao Qian immediately explained: "This is my niece. His father is my brother-in-law Ganlan. After her father died of illness, she has been kept in my mansion and depend on my wife for life."

"It turned out to be Miss Gan. I have heard that Miss Gan is beautiful and smart. Today I saw it. In this way, Mr. Tao also knew that I had a sister, and now I have already gone to Chang'an with my younger brother. In order to avoid trouble on the way, I want Ms. Gan to be my sister. In this way, I can handle it when I encounter a cross-examination. I wonder what Mr. Tao and Ms. Gan thought?"

"Of course this is good. My elder brother is here, and I will be bowed by my younger sister." After Gan said this at Mi Zhu, he directly expressed his opinions before Tao Qian could express his opinion.

"Haha, it's really surprising that Miss Gan speaks so readily." Mi Zhu laughed, feeling very happy, and then he was called the Gan family as brother and sister.

Because Mi Zhu made preparations in advance, he used his Xuzhou private identity to issue a large number of blank road quotations. Now he only needs to fill in his name and identity to easily walk out of Xia Pi City.

As soon as Mi Zhu and his friends left Xia Pi City, they saw a pair of fierce soldiers rushing over. They carefully described a person's appearance, asked if they had seen him, and told everyone that they would report it as long as they saw this person. If they hide and refuse to report it, they would be punished for the same crime. If they reported it, they would definitely be rewarded.

Tao Qian listened carefully to the appearance of the soldier who was about to take it, and suddenly realized: "Aren't they talking about me?"

Tao Qian then instructed a follower to ask, "I don't know what crime that person committed?"

"Hehe, don't look at the man's appearance, he is actually the leader of a thief. He killed and robbed people and committed a death sentence. So when he sees him in the future, he must not make any noise. He must report to the army immediately. Even the government has no way to deal with them." The soldier was quite enthusiastic and explained to Tao Qian's followers.

Tao Qian became more and more frightened the more he heard it. He could naturally hear it. The reason why the other party refused to let him speak was mainly to arrest him quietly and then execute him secretly. This would not have any adverse effects. It seemed that the other party had to kill him.

"As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I can't figure out who it is without thinking. I really didn't expect that he was so impatient. Oh, it seems that I am indeed stupid enough, without any eyes and cannot recognize people, otherwise it would not have caused the ending today."

Tao Qian smiled bitterly, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he had met Mi Zhu this time, otherwise it would be impossible to survive, and the final outcome would be to be secretly killed by Lu Bu.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian was sweating all over. After the team of soldiers left, he came to Mi Zhu and said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Zizhong for helping him. If there is no Mr. Tao Qian, he will not be buried in death. Mr. Qian will not be able to repay his kindness for helping him. In the future, he will be willing to repay his virtue for his subordinates!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he quickly returned the courtesy and said, "The envoy's words are so harsh. How dare Zhu take it? Zhu did this to repay the envoy's kindness for his past grace."

After Mi Zhu's strong refusal, he decided to treat Tao Qian with respect for guests. Tao Qian accompanied Mi Zhu to join Pei Qing. Even if he no longer became an official, he would at least live a stable life in Chang'an.

In fact, Tao Qian only realized that Mi Zhu had betrayed him a long time ago, but he did not feel uncomfortable, because he now deeply understood how stupid he was in the past? People like him would sooner or later not be able to defend Xuzhou. Although Mi Zhu betrayed, he could still think about himself and save himself successfully. This is already a rare thing.

However, Tao Qian felt that he was really shameless to meet Pei Qing. Two years ago, this young man had not been heard of by himself, but now he has become a general of the cavalry, a left-behind Xijing, and a captain of the Sili School. His status is simply incomparable to him. Compared with this young man, his age is simply as alive as a dog.

However, Tao Qian had no choice. He knew that the world was so great that there was no place for him to live in. Needless to say, Xuzhou and his hometown Danyang. Even in Luoyang, although he had reconciled with Cao Cao on the surface, as long as he went, Cao Cao would definitely find a way to kill him, so he had to hold him long and resign now.

So Tao Qian had no choice but to follow Mi Zhu to Chang'an. Fortunately, after passing Xuzhou, it was a smooth road after arriving in Yuzhou. Tao Qian came to Chang'an safely in Mi Zhu's convoy.

At this time, Pei Qing had already heard about Mi Zhu's arrival. He was very excited because Mi Zhu was one of the top rich people in the world and he had a place to rely on, so he welcomed Mi Zhu with unprecedented solemn etiquette. With his identity, he actually welcomed Mi Zhu's arrival in person outside Chang'an City.
