When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 480 Chen Yuanlong. Sure enough, he is extraordinary! (Four thousand)
General Wei?
Zhang Kai only felt a buzzing in his ears. He? Meet General Wei?
Is there something wrong with his ears, or is Chen Deng suffering from hysteria?
He assassinated Qiao Rui, and right after that, Chen Deng wanted him to meet General Wei?

Zhang Kai couldn't figure it out after thinking it over and over again. He felt inexplicably depressed, his mouth became dry and astringent, and he kept saliva secreting.

Zhang Kai swallowed his saliva and decided to ask what was going on. "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do?!"

"Actually." Chen Deng pursed his lips, his face showing a conflicted expression, and then he sighed heavily, as if he had made a decision, and then he spoke: "Mr. Zhang, guess why I was able to discover your whereabouts in the first place? As a top assassin under Lord Yuan, don't you think your disguise is flawless?"

"This"

Chen Deng's question really stumped Zhang Kai. Thinking carefully, Chen Deng was right. He had done countless dirty work for Yuan Shu, but this time he was captured without even taking out his dagger.
eccentric.

It's really weird.

And Chen Yuanlong's tone was also very strange.
Zhang Yishi?
This is totally unlike the attitude towards assassins.
How could you find my whereabouts?
Is there a spy in Yuan Gong’s army?
No, no.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Zhang Kai denied it. You should know that only Yuan Shu, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun were present at the time.

How could Yang Hong and Zhang Xun betray Yuan Shu?
Did Yuan Gong inform Chen Yuanlong about this matter in advance? !
Zhang Kai was so frightened when he came to this conclusion that his eyelids twitched violently. You know, Chen Deng had beaten Yuan Shu badly, and Yuan Shu wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, so how could he collude with Chen Deng? !

Zhang Kai's eyes instantly became sharp. Besides, how could Chen Yuanlong let the guards behind him hear such a big thing? !

There must be fraud!

Chen Deng seemed to have seen through Zhang Kai's thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "The people behind me are all my confidants. This is just to ensure my own safety. I am only a few steps away from Marquis Zhang. If there is no one around, it would be as easy as taking something out of a bag for Marquis Zhang to take my head. The premise of achieving great things is to ensure your own safety. I hope Marquis Zhang will forgive me."

"This..." Zhang Kai's brain was stuck again, and his sharp eyes suddenly became sluggish. After thinking carefully, Chen Yuanlong's words made sense.
wrong!

Zhang Kai suddenly realized something and asked, "Since Mr. Yuan had made an appointment with you before, why didn't I know about it?"

"." Chen Deng stared at Zhang Kai, making Zhang Kai feel a little scared.

Just when Zhang Kai was about to lose his patience, Chen Deng spoke out, "Of course it was to conceal it from others. If even Zhang Yishi didn't know, how could others know? Besides, I didn't ask Zhang Yishi to assassinate anyone. I just sent Zhang Yishi to see General Wei according to the agreement with Yuan Gong. As for the reason, Zhang Yishi can think about the items Yuan Gong brought back from Jizhou. Zhang Yishi is a smart man, and I don't need to explain the reason."

Oh no, what County Magistrate Chen said makes a lot of sense!
Zhang Kai's frown deepened. Although he was not good at strategizing, he was a skilled traveler and had seen a lot of the world. At least he could tell the truth from lies. Chen Deng in front of him did not look like he was lying. He spoke from the bottom of his heart, but he always felt it was a little strange.

but
When Zhang Kai thought about meeting Liu Bei, he immediately became excited. He was not a homosexual.

It’s all because of Liu Bei’s identity. If Liu Bei was assassinated, who would be the happiest?
Of course it’s Yuan Shu!

More than once, he heard Yuan Shu talk about Liu Bei, saying things like "a hypocrite in a monkey's clothing", "a foolish man weaving mats and selling shoes", and "a poor man who wants to compete with the three officials of four generations!"

Zhang Kai felt that the last sentence was Yuan Shu's real voice, but it was not important. What was important was that if he could solve the problem of Liu Bei, Yuan Shu would be delighted and even the pressure would be gone. The court would be in chaos and Yuan Shu would take advantage of the situation!

Zhang Kai knew that Yuan Shu held the imperial seal. Without Liu Bei, wouldn't that mean Yuan Shu would have no rival? !
Even if he died, Yuan Shu would give him a grand funeral and even posthumously confer him a title of honor because of his merits and friendship!

Even if Chen Yuanlong had some conspiracy, as long as there was a clue, he could have escaped on the way to Chang'an. He was not trapped in the house like he was now.

No matter how you look at it, it's a business that's sure to make money!
Zhang Kai clenched his fists excitedly, his shoulders were shaking slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky.

"Thank you, Lord! I am willing to meet General Wei!"

Zhang Kai did not hesitate and immediately clasped his fists towards Chen Deng.

"Good." Chen Deng stroked the beard on his lips. He had finally achieved the first step. Of course, he would not watch Zhang Kai assassinate Liu Bei.

He will send a few death warriors to accompany Zhang Kai. These death warriors have all been trained, so it should not be a problem for them to keep an eye on Zhang Kai.

Whenever Zhang Kai had any intention, these assassins would immediately speak out to remind Liu Bei.

It is not certain who will kill whom by then.

As for the bravery of Liu Bei and Zhang Kai, Chen Deng could only say that Zhang Kai was far behind.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder when we will set off!" Zhang Kai's face was full of eagerness to try.

Chen Deng said seriously, "My father will be celebrating his 60th birthday in a few days. The sooner you set off, the better. Remember not to behave at my father's birthday party."

This answer made Zhang Kai believe it a little more. The fact that it was held in the name of celebrating Chen Gui's birthday showed that it had been planned before.

Zhang Kai nodded repeatedly, "Master Chen, don't worry, I will never drag you down."

"Good." Chen Deng's expression eased a lot.

Zhang Kai was about to speak, but stopped. Chen Deng stretched out his hand and spread out his palm to make a "please" gesture, and then said: "What is the matter, Mr. Zhang? Why don't you speak directly."

Zhang Kai then said, "Mr. Chen, this is a serious matter. I think the sooner the better."

"." Chen Deng hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Good. Let's do as Mr. Zhang said."

Zhang Kai's face was full of joy.

The two agreed to set off this afternoon and discussed some things.

Chen Dengcai led his guards to resign, and on the way back to the meeting room, Chen Deng was thinking about what to say in the letter to Liu Chong.

This matter is also imminent. Yuan Shu's current power is far less than the records in Xianxiang. Sooner or later he will target the wealthy Chen State.

If Yuan Shu was allowed to annex the State of Chen, he would gain 100,000 soldiers and food and supplies.

Even if it will not have any impact on the final outcome, it will add some variables to the capture of Huainan.

All in all, it is equally important to prevent Yuan Shu from destroying the State of Chen.

Chen Deng suddenly stopped and whispered, "Got it!"

A few days later, Yuan Shu, who was in Huainan, paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself, "Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai. Why is there still no news?!"

"Could it be that he betrayed me again?!"

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Shu's frown deepened, like the ravines in the shape of a Chinese character "川".

Now that he has the imperial seal, he should have announced to the world, "The Mandate of Heaven is with Yuan, and I shall be the Son of Heaven!"

Yuan Shu, who has always been extremely confident, was also hesitant this time.

Even if he was promoted to the emperor, he couldn't get past that damn Guangling!
You must know that after Guangling, there are Huang Zhong and Guan Yu who are besieging Liyang!

In recent days, just seeing the battle reports of Huang Zhong and Guan Yu made Yuan Shu feel frightened, his brows twitching wildly, his mouth drooling, and he couldn't help swallowing again and again.

Huang Zhong and Guan Yu's strength was beyond his imagination.

Even if he took back Sun Bofu's 3,000 soldiers, Yuan Shu still didn't feel safe at all.

Not to mention that Zhang Kai had lost contact, Yuan Shu realized that Zhang Kai might have met with an accident, which made him even more panicked as he was already uneasy.

"What should I do? What should I do? Obviously, getting the jade seal should be a happy event, but why do I feel that there is no difference between getting the jade seal and not getting the jade seal?" Yuan Shu had a worried look on his face and had no choice but to look to Yang Hong for help.

Yang Hong stroked his beard gently, knowing that he couldn't take advantage of the situation at this moment and had to come up with a plan that could be implemented.

Yang Hong's eyes rolled in his sockets, and he immediately had a plan in mind. "Do you know the State of Chen?"

"Chen Guo?"

Yuan Shu couldn't help but recall the news related to the State of Chen, which was located in the southeast of Yanzhou.

In the first year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu established the Huaiyang State and named Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan as the King of Huaiyang. Soon the state was abolished.

In the 15th year of Jianwu, Huaiyang State was re-established. In the 2nd year of Zhanghe of Emperor Xiaozhang, Huaiyang State was changed to Chen State.

The current Prince of Chen is named Liu Chong. He is a descendant of Emperor Xiaoming and the great-grandson of Prince Jing of Chen, Liu Xian.

This man was quite brave and skilled in crossbow shooting. He hit the target ten times out of ten, all at the same place.

He had hundreds of thousands of men under his command and the wealth in the country was dizzying. Even Yuan Shu was somewhat afraid of him.

Now Yang Hong actually mentioned the State of Chen?

Could it be that he was going to attack the State of Chen?

Yuan Shu felt that unless he was mentally ill, he would never provoke a king with an army of 100,000. A hundred thousand elite soldiers would make people fear him even if they were just a tethered dog, let alone the brave Liu Chong?
"Yang Changshi, what exactly do you mean?" Yuan Shu decided to get to the bottom of it.

Yang Hong did not keep the secret, he explained: "Mingsir, do you still remember that we borrowed your passage?"

"Of course I remember. The first place we need to borrow the road is Chen State. Wait a minute!"

As he was speaking, Yuan Shu suddenly remembered something. He had not been able to take over Xuzhou before, so he had to take a detour.

When they passed through the State of Chen in Yanzhou, they did not waste much time talking and left some valuables. The people of Chen did not stop them and even wanted to send them away quickly, as if they did not want to get into trouble.

Although Prince Chen clamored to support the Han Dynasty during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, he did nothing after he proclaimed himself General Assisting Han, and apart from expressing his support, he took no other action.

Judging from his previous and subsequent performances, Prince Chen seems to be powerful, but in fact he is just a mediocre person who can only live in a corner?

Even Yuan Shu could see that in today's world, one must either submit to the court or keep advancing. It was a joke to have an army of 100,000 and still want to live in peace in a corner.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's mentality became much more correct. Liu Chong, who had an army of 100,000, looked powerful, but in fact he was just trying to scare people.

"Yang Changshi, what should we do?"

"Of course, we should send an envoy to borrow food first, and use this opportunity to test their strength."

"good."

Yuan Shu agreed with Yang Hong's plan without hesitation. He called a personal guard and ordered him to go and borrow food.

Chen Guo.

Chen County.

On the school field.

Three or five soldiers were carrying targets, and they were a hundred steps away. However, they stuck the targets into the ground, and the moment they were done, they dispersed in all directions without stopping.

It’s not that they were slacking off, but the crossbow they started from was too terrifying.

You should know that large crossbows like the bed crossbow are strictly prohibited in the Han Dynasty, and it is a serious crime punishable by death for ordinary people to possess them.

It can be seen that the bed crossbow has a terrible deterrent effect.

No one wants to stay in front of such a terrifying battle machine for even a moment.

Even their king was famous for his crossbow-controlling skills.

"There are only three or five of them. It's okay."

Prince Chen Liu Chong looked at the target a hundred steps away and raised his thumb. After comparing one by one, he adjusted the position of the crossbow.

Playing with bows and crossbows, especially the crossbow, was one of his few hobbies. Whenever he saw the crossbow arrows being shot out and the target being blown to pieces, he felt inexplicably refreshed.

Isn't this more exciting than hunting?!
After Liu Chong adjusted the crossbow, he gave the order and the soldiers pulled the trigger of the crossbow in tacit understanding.

A huge crossbow arrow was shot out, and the whistling sound exploded in the ears, but in the blink of an eye, the solid target was exploded by the crossbow arrow, and the debris was like falling snowflakes, which made Liu Chong's heart burn.

"That's great!" Liu Chong laughed.

Liu Chong left the parade ground feeling refreshed. When he returned to the government office, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He didn't even see Luo Jun. After taking a few steps, he was bumped into by a group of guards in a hurry.

Liu Chong did not blame the guard, but helped him up, "What's the matter? Why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty!" The guard seemed to have grasped the backbone, and hurriedly said: "Just now, an envoy from Guangling County Governor Chen Yuanlong came and delivered a letter. The Prime Minister ordered me to quickly invite Your Majesty to the meeting hall for a talk!"

"Chen Yuanlong? The Chen Yuanlong who defeated Yuan Gonglu? The Chen Yuanlong who is the brother-in-law of General Wei?!"

Seeing the guards nodding repeatedly, Liu Chong strode towards the conference room.

I saw Luo Jun sitting in front of the desk with a frown on his brow, holding the Xuande paper in his hand.

"Xiaoyuan, why do you look so sad?"

Liu Chong walked up to Luo Jun in a carefree manner.

Luo Jun raised his head and handed the letter to Liu Chong, "Your Majesty, take a look."

"Is this the letter from Chen Yuanlong? I'd like to see what Chen Yuanlong is up to." Liu Chong took the letter and took a closer look, almost laughing out loud.

What did he see?
Chen Deng actually said in the letter that Yuan Shu would come to borrow grain, saying that he would encounter a great disaster in the near future and that preparations should be made early.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. No wonder Xuande, such a hero, didn't invite Chen Yuanlong to his wedding. It turns out that Chen Yuanlong is just a bear!"

"Yuan Gonglu is coming to me to ask for food?"

"Could it be that Chen Yuanlong can predict the future?!"

"Eh? Xiaoyuan, why aren't you smiling?"

Liu Chong discovered something strange. His right-hand man still had a stern face.
Suddenly he thought of something. He looked at Luo Jun in disbelief. He suddenly felt his mouth dry and couldn't help swallowing.

"Xiaoyuan, is everything in the letter true???"

"good."

When Liu Chong heard Luo Jun's reply, he felt his scalp tingling and his eyes were full of surprise. Aren't Chen Yuanlong and Yuan Gonglu mortal enemies?

How did Chen Yuanlong know about Yuan Gonglu? !

Chen Yuanlong is indeed extraordinary!
