Chapter 110 Conversation in the Secret Room
Zhou Chong said awkwardly again, "General, apart from the treasures that Zhou Xi buried, there are still some treasures that I haven't brought back. When I captured Li Ru, he also took a batch of treasures from Mei Wu, and I captured them together. I was in a hurry when I left, buried in the mountains..."

Pei Yuanshao's eyes were shining brightly, it was time to send out. "Brother, let's hurry up and bring back all the treasures."

"See Li Ru first, and talk about the treasure later."

Dian Wei was not there, and only Pei Yuanshao accompanied Zhou Cang to meet Li Ru.Li Ru was born as a general, and he is still capable of fighting. He never put himself in danger. This is Zhou Cang's consistent dogma.

"Student Wen Xian, please stay safe." Zhou Cang personally lifted Li Ru's blindfold and untied the rope.

Li Ru rubbed his already numb arms and rubbed his astringent eyes. Fortunately, the secret room was not too bright, and Li Ru quickly adapted to the candlelight. Looking carefully at the person in front of him, the distinctive features made him feel very uncomfortable. Familiar, but not too familiar if I recall carefully. "Is it you? You are, are you Zhou Cang and Zhou Weiguo?"

"It turns out that Mr. Wen still remembers Zhou Cang. The road was treacherous, and he was very rude to him along the way. Please don't take offense, sir. Please sit down." Zhou Cang invited Li Ru to sit down.

Li Ru's mind turned quickly, "I kept thinking on the way, who tied me up, but I didn't expect it to be you. There are many things that are very strange, and I haven't figured them out. Looking at it now, I'm afraid you are more involved." .”

"Zhou Cang is willing to solve my doubts for you." Zhou Cang always called Li Ru a gentleman instead of a general, because he felt that Li Ru was more suitable as a counselor, and this type of counselor was very suitable for him.

"Cao Cao assassinated Xiangguo. Afterwards, Lu Bu arrested his family members, but found that he had already left Beijing."

"It is true that I saw that the situation in Luoyang was unclear, and advised Cao Cao to send his family back to his hometown. However, Zhou Cang never heard of Cao Cao's assassination of Xiangguo, but he once advised Cao Cao to protect the emperor and not let Xiangguo enter Beijing."

"Then Niu Fu's plan was given by you, right? You and I know what's in his stomach."

"That's right, I was also forced to be helpless at that time."

Li Ru re-examined Zhou Cang again. He has a rough face and a burly figure. No matter how you look at it, he is a martial artist. If you don't want to be a thoughtful person, you really can't just look at his appearance!
"Xu Rong defeated Cao Cao. When he came back, he said that he was rescued by the princes along the way, but he couldn't tell who it was. As far as I know, no princes would be willing to rescue him. I also suspected Xu Rong's excuse. Soldier. That person is also you."

"Yes, Mr. has a good plan." Zhou Cang thought to himself, he was indeed a suspicious and careful person.

"Oh", Li Ru blushed, this is a good idea, is Zhou Cang one of Cao Cao's people?This person's strategy is unpredictable, how could he be willing to be under Cao Cao. "Then the Chuanguo Yuxi disappeared later?"

"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't expect Yuxi to be taken away from the palace by Sun Jian." Zhou Cang didn't deny it.

"A nursery rhyme in Luoyang City: there is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east. Xiangguo ordered me to investigate, but I didn't find any clues..." Li Ruzhen had many questions in his heart, and he wanted to say them all at once.

"Haha, don't mention these things anymore." Zhou Cang was noncommittal. "Is that all you want to know, sir?"

"Why did you do that?" Li Ru looked at Zhou Cang straightly.

Zhou Cang looked at Li Ru: "It's very simple, protect yourself, protect your life. Protect yourself, protect your friends, and protect more innocent people. I don't want the world to be in chaos and the people to suffer. This is the only way. Later, seeing that the situation is irreversible, I can only remedy it." .”

"Then why are you kidnapping me here?"

"It's a coincidence among coincidences to meet Mr. Since Mr. is here, I want you to stay by my side." Zhou Cang threw the hydrangea without any concealment.

"Hahaha, you dare to use me? Moving the capital, digging the imperial tomb, killing Liu Xie with poison is not my responsibility. Everyone in the world hates me to the bone, and all the princes want to kill me." Li Ru looked at him mockingly. Zhou Cang said.

"Why don't you dare? Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu are dead, and Li Ru's whereabouts are unknown, maybe he is already dead. Who would care if Zhou Cang has an extra counselor or a relative, that's all." Zhou Cang also responded .

"Why did you choose me?"

"Dong Zhuo has four people who I am optimistic about. Wen is Jia Wenhe and Li Wenyou, and Wu is Lu Bu and Xu Rong. I am optimistic about you because you are sinister, vicious, and cautious enough. The world does not value your methods. Dong Zhuo uses them. It’s not your way, but I can!” What Zhou Cang said was frank enough, and Li Ru felt it was very pertinent.

"Is the general praising me?" Li Ru lowered his head in silence for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Then what is your ambition, general?"

"Hehe, I don't have any ambitions. It's too early to talk about ambitions now. I just want to live in troubled times and be a rich man. However, there are no eggs under the broken nest. I can only rely on the land of a state. Free from fighting."

Li Ru understands that Zhou Cang is not without ambition, but he hides it very well. In other words, Zhou Cang's ambition is gradual.Now Zhou Cang wants to hide behind one of the princes and watch the progress of the current situation. The big tree he chose is Cao Cao, and the land of one state is Xuzhou, both of which are good choices.

"Then what does the general have to rely on?" After Li Ru knew the answer to this question, he had to rely on Zhou Cang, or he would die. If Zhou Cang could treat each other honestly, no matter how distressed Zhou Cang was now, he could take refuge in him.

"I have five thousand soldiers who are good at fighting, and I can recruit another ten thousand at any time. They are fully armored and have five generals. By the way, there are a few more people. This is my righteous brother Pei Yuanshao, and another brother is elsewhere. I will introduce you when the time comes." " Zhou Cang introduced Pei Yuanshao to Li Ru, and Pei Yuanshao saluted Li Ru without saying a word.

Li Ru took a deep breath. He didn't expect Zhou Cang to have a lot of family background. He was able to force Xu Rong to retreat. It means that Zhou Cang's generals and soldiers are not simple. Five generals?When Xu Rong came back, he said that there were three generals, and the other two were elsewhere. It seems that what he said was true.Li Ru believed in Xu Rong's vision, the veteran on the battlefield would not be wrong, and Xu Rong would not lie.

But looking at the thick-backed brother in front of him, he is also capable of fighting. There are two other younger brothers who don't know who they are, and it seems that they are all performing secret missions elsewhere.Li Ru's thinking is not bad at all, the other two younger brothers are Zhou Cai and Liu An.

"Also, I stationed troops in Pengcheng. This is on the surface. There are three other bases. This is one of the smallest but the smallest. It has a total population of 30 households and food for three years. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Zhou Cang looked at Li Ru with a smile.

Li Ru was taken aback. Where are the three bases with a population of 30 households and three years' worth of food hidden?How many years have you been preparing for this?Li Ru looked at Zhou Cang, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Zhou Cang was lying to him.If this is the case, he is fully capable of further aspiring to the top of the world. Is Zhou Cang worried about something?Zhou Cang's wisdom must have his reasons.
