Humane Yongchang

Chapter 96

The sun is shining.

Chen Sheng's simple straw hat made of twigs on his head, lying on the back of a gravel the size of a carriage, fixedly looking at the end of the road in the northeast.

Chen Dao sat in the shade under the gravel, holding his waist knife and closing his eyes.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, looked sharply behind, and at the same time made a bird call of "Cuckoo, Cuckoo".

"Haw haw haw."

The crisp oriole chirping came from behind.

Chen Dao's sharp eyes were relieved, and he turned back and said, "Dalang, second brother, they are here!"

Chen Sheng said without turning his head, "Please come over."

Chen Dao turned his head and called "Cuckoo, Cuckoo" three times again.

After a while, an old soldier of Youzhou army led Chen Hu to appear in his field of vision.

Hearing the footsteps of the person coming, Chen Sheng turned around and jumped off the back of the stone, looking at Chen Hu who was holding the knife on his waist: "Second Uncle, is the journey going smoothly?"

Chen Hu replied: "It's going well."

Chen Sheng: "Where are Li Zhong and the others?"

Chen Hu turned around and pointed at him: "They're all panting in the forest two miles away. They'll kill you as soon as you give an order... Listen to Brother Chen Ji, have things changed?"

The Chen Ji in his mouth was the old soldier of Youzhou army who was beside him to meet them.

After Chen Sheng and the others reached the edge of the ditch road, they did not dare to go any further. They hid their horses and walked from the outside to this place on foot.

Then, the nine Youzhou Army veterans who were accompanying him were sent out in two groups.

Go all the way to meet Chen Hu and the others, lest they accidentally bump into the trap set by other people's grain.

Go all the way to find out the location of the grain transport team and the location of the group of people who camped in the wild last night.

Try to control the situation here in the shortest possible time.

……

Chen Sheng informed Chen Hu of what he and Chen Dao found along the way in a few words.

"Vinegar cloth? War horse?"

Chen Hu frowned deeply: "There are a lot of people who keep war horses in the county, don't we have several of them? But the vinegar cloth thing, only the county soldiers have standing... Why, you suspect that group of people Is it also for this batch of food?"

"Country soldier?"

When Chen Sheng heard this, there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he seemed to prove something and nodded, "That's right!"

"You mean..."

When Chen Hu saw his face, he was surprised: "Is it the commander-in-chief, or the commander-in-chief?"

There are only two people who can mobilize the county soldiers.

Chen Sheng nodded with a thoughtful look on his face.

He had some doubts at first that it was the three chiefs in the county who were planning this batch of food.

Because in Chen County, there are only three in the county who have reason and ability to move this batch of food.

Other people, either don't have that motive, or don't have that strength!

He is the exception.

It is an exception pushed to this place under the violent conflict between the two world-wide views of the past and the present.

The reason why it could not be determined before is that this group of people is the handwriting of the three heads of the county.

It was because he was not sure whether the three heads of the county would make it to this point.

This should not be the game method that the great nobles of the Qi Lu family and the Chu Xiong family should use.

It's as if Jack Ma competes with a big businessman at the level of Nanshan Pizza Hut, no matter how much he tears his face, he won't use inappropriate tricks such as stealing official seals and cutting network cables.

One is that this kind of small means is meaningless to big businessmen of their level except for disgusting people.

The second is that neither of them can afford the consequences of breaking the lower limit.

Can you do first year?

I can't do fifteen?

At that level of game, once the two sides start unruly and unscrupulous.

The loser is utterly defeated.

But the winner is not necessarily better!
The business game is like that.

The same is true for the political game between the Qi Lu clan and the Chu Xiong clan!
But no matter how unbelievable Chen Sheng was, when a piece of evidence was put in front of him, he had to believe it.

This made him suspect that there might be a deeper reason behind the game between Qi Lu's and Chu Xiong's, or a bigger layout.

……

"Then what shall we do?"

It was also difficult for Chen Hu to accept this result, but instead of questioning Chen Sheng's judgment, he directly asked him for a solution.

"Lets see……"

Chen Sheng thought and replied: "If you have a chance, we will do it, and if we don't have a chance, we will withdraw!"

This complicated change was something he didn't expect.

It made him give birth to the heart of retreat.

He is willing to pay the price for his persistence and is willing to bear the consequences of his decision.

But he will never take the lives of the people around him to pay for his decision.

The difference between an idealist and a bitch.

He is very clear.

Not long after, there was another "chirp" sound of sparrows chirping.

Chen Dao took two steps in the direction of the bird's call, and the "Cuckoo, Cuckoo" responded twice.

Soon, a figure wearing a blade of grass appeared among the rocks.

"Eldest son, big brother!"

The visitor walked up to Chen Sheng and Chen Dao and cupped their hands, and said succinctly: "I found someone, right in the middle of this ditch road. There are indeed three hundred people, equipped with bows and crossbows."

"The food team has also arrived. About two hundred people will enter this trench road in half an hour at the latest."

Chen Sheng glanced to the northeast: "Where is the person in ambush?"

The visitor pointed to the opposite side of the ditch: "Just across from the mountain!"

Chen Hu glanced down his fingers and said in a low voice, "Fight or go, Dalang, you have to make up your mind soon!"

"Second Uncle, don't panic, let me think about it."

Chen Sheng frowned and looked at the small hill that was only four or five hundred meters away from him, feeling that something was wrong!

But what was wrong, he couldn't understand for a while.

He waved to Chen Hu, sat in the shadow of the gravel, rubbed his temples with both hands, and fully opened his mind.

After a few breaths, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

He jumped up and said in a hurry, "Uncle Dao, go there yourself, and quickly patrol the road within [-] miles to see if there are still ambush behind us!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked!
Chen Dao didn't say anything, he gave each of the two Youzhou army veterans a look from the left and right, and then walked quickly to the place where the horse was hidden.

Chen Sheng turned around and was about to climb on the gravel again, but Chen Hu grabbed the collar and pulled him back: "Dalang, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Sheng didn't know how to explain it to him. After thinking about it, he said: "I can't tell why the three adults in the county government dare to attack this batch of grain. This is normal, because our family lacks information channels to see the overall situation."

"But that Master Lu has no reason to judge this point. Since he knows this and dares to use this batch of grain to catch the three adults, he will naturally prepare his back-up to deal with it. Those three adults can also completely push them to the opposite side of many aristocratic families in the county!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but raised a thumb and sighed: "If you attack it, you will save it.

"Then what shall we do?"

Chen Hu didn't quite understand the intrigues of these hearts, but felt that the brains of this brat were indeed different from those of these rough men.

"What else can I do?"

Chen Sheng shrugged helplessly: "This is not something our family can mix, so watch the show in peace!"

Chen Hu will be relieved.

It's good to watch the show, it's good to watch the show!
However, before Chen Sheng climbed onto the gravel for a quarter of an hour, Chen Dao came back, still carrying a dark man whose head was wrapped in a yellow scarf and passed out.

Chen Sheng saw the yellow turban from a distance, and couldn't help but be stunned, but a new light flashed in his mind.

It's like holding a missing puzzle piece and finding the missing piece of the puzzle.

"Where did it come from?"

He jumped off the gravel and asked.

Chen Dao: "Caught."

Chen Sheng: "I'm asking you, where did you get it?"

Chen Dao pointed in the direction of where he came from: "It was caught over there."

Chen Sheng:  …

……

"Snapped."

A bag of water poured on the dark man's face.

The dark man who had passed out suddenly woke up and was about to scream when he opened his mouth, but found that his mouth was blocked by a smelly rag.

Chen Hu, who was beside him, moved his bare stinky feet unnaturally.

Seeing that the person had woken up, Chen Sheng put away the yellow talisman in his hand, and pulled out the long knife from Chen Hu's waist: "I originally wanted to cut off one of your thighs before talking to you, but I thought that if you were willing to tell the truth, If I ask you anything, you can answer it, and you can save a life and live, but I can't bear to make you walk on crutches... Would you like to talk? Nod if you want, if you don't, I'll cut it first. Lose one of your thighs and ask if you are willing."

Dark Man:  …

Seeing that the dark man didn't speak, Chen Sheng raised his long knife, aimed it at his thigh and slashed it.

The dark man was shocked when he saw this, and nodded desperately: "Woooooooo..."

When Chen Sheng saw this, the falling long knife suddenly stopped and settled on the dark man's trouser legs.

Through the trousers, the dark man can detect the edge of the blade!

His bladder shrank, and almost no urine came out.

Chen Sheng took back the long knife with regret, and nodded to Chen Hu.

Chen Hu stepped forward and retrieved his stinky footcloth from the dark man's mouth.

The swarthy man immediately wailed, "I said, I said, I said everything, the nobles don't want to cut off my legs..."

As soon as Chen Sheng heard him speak, he couldn't help frowning.

What this person said was not the accent around Chen County.

It is also very different from Chen Dao's Youzhou accent with a bit of a big ballast.

On the contrary, Chen Hu was amused when he heard his accent, he smiled and asked in the same accent as him, "Brother Qingzhou?"

The dark man was stunned for a moment: "Where are you from Daguo? I am from Zhangqiu Yujia Village, please help me!"

Chen Sheng had a few things in his heart, and he gently pushed Chen Hu: "You can stay where it's cool!"

He put his waist knife on the neck of the dark man, and asked in a vicious voice, "How many of you are here?"

The dark man looked at Chen Hu pitifully as if looking for his relatives.

Chen Hu smiled, pointed to Chen Sheng and said with a Qingzhou accent: "Whatever he asks, you can answer it, otherwise the cauldron can't save you!"

"Good inside, good inside, I said, I will say anything!"

The dark man stiffened his neck and responded a few times, then said, "We came here with eight thousand silver, and here we have three thousand."

"Fuck."

Chen Sheng was so shocked that he almost dropped his knife: "Three thousand? If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

The dark man was anxious: "Daguo, I really didn't lie to you, we really have 3000 people here!"

Chen Sheng: "Come on? What's your name?"

The dark man: "Our handsome man is called Xu Fu, a native of Langya County, who brought us here and said that he wanted to kill some high-ranking official."

Chen Sheng silently put away the long sword.

Just because your boss is called Xu Fu, I believe what you said!

Sure enough, it's fate, it's amazing!
He shoved the waist knife back into Chen Hu's hand, "Give it to him..."

"Pfft."

Before Chen Sheng could finish his words, Chen Hu had already stabbed the dark man's heart with a sharp knife and twisted it.

The dark man froze, looked up at his dear cauldron in disbelief, opened his mouth for a long time, "uhhh", but in the end he couldn't spit out a word.

Chen Sheng's eyes widened abruptly: "What are you doing? Didn't I say it all, as long as he explained honestly, he would save his life?"

Chen Hu was stunned: "Then you didn't say it earlier, we thought you let us kill him! Hey, what a good man, he must be a good man in farming, next time you must remember to say something like this..."

Chen Sheng:  …

He silently climbed onto the gravel, facing the horse road, looking left and right, only to feel that this peaceful world was suddenly full of murderous intentions and ambush!
He couldn't help sighing: "What a middle game, what a bunch of old yin comparisons!"

Chen Hu and Chen Dao, who were under the gravel, looked at each other blankly, and asked in unison, "Then what should we do?"

"what should we do?"

Chen Sheng murmured softly, and suddenly a thousand arrogance rose in his chest: "We will do as originally planned!"

It was not clear what this game was before.

He didn't want to come to this muddy water.

Now see it!
Of course, there is no need to rush to withdraw!

Everyone ride a donkey and read the songbook!
Let's see who is the big winner in the end!
　Two-in-one, the gentlemen understand... Because the first order has to be put on the shelves at a rhythm, the rest of the few days can only maintain the minimum normal update, and it will definitely explode on the shelves.
