Chapter 278: Wealthy in life, late in death! [Crimson Fate: Man of Disaster]

Deep night.

Standing on the roof of a residential house, Jiang Chen finally saw for the first time with his own eyes the son-in-law General Zuo who had been missing for a long time.

At this time, Liu Chuanzhi also noticed that someone was looking at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and he was also staring at Jiang Chen in Yumen Pass.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

Jiang Chen's brows were full of anger, and he said coldly and loudly:
"General Liu, why are you here?"

Hear this.

Liu Chuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was difficult to deduce from Jiang Chen's few words whether his plan to deal with Hong Wu had been exposed, so he said:

"The general learned from the spies that Chen Xijue, the guard of Yumen Gate, is insane and wants to turn the whole city into water ghosts."

"Such actions can be described as serious crimes, and the world will not tolerate them!"

With a trace of mockery in the corner of Liu Chuanzhi's mouth, he shamelessly said: "The general came here in a hurry tonight just to subdue these harmful water ghosts and save the people of Yumen Pass!"

Hearing these shameless words, Jiang Chen couldn't help being furious. He had a duel with Chen Xi.

but--

Chen Xijue worked hard for Liu Chuanzhi, not only became a water ghost, but was also evaluated as "sinful and insane"...

"Are you really following the wrong person?"

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a bit of politeness: "I'm sorry, but I also ask General Liu to calm down, the last general is presumptuous."

Liu Chuanzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said:

"If I remember correctly, you are the No. 18 Battalion, the hundred generals who presented the military rations with sesame seed cakes, and you are called Jiang Chen. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, you became a lieutenant of my Qingzhou Military Academy."

"It's really a hero out of a boy!"

First, there was a burst of compliments without money, and then Liu Chuanzhi asked casually, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally:
"Come to Yumen Pass today, is there any important military order?"

Jiang Chen had already thought up his speech:
"The Qingzhou army has been on the expedition for more than half a year, and the stock of medicinal materials has been exhausted. Therefore, at the end of the day, I will bring a storage bag and come to buy some to deal with the Dunhuang rebels!"

Liu Chuanzhi showed a false smile:
"Alright, the general has been away from the army for a long time, so it's time to go back."

"Oh, right."

"You are not familiar with the place here. This general recommends a person to you, who is a local drug dealer. In the next two days, he will help you purchase drugs."

Jiang Chen was startled, and immediately understood Liu Chuanzhi's intentions. It was to help in name, but in fact, it was to monitor!
If he was really in Yumen Pass to purchase medicinal materials for two days, maybe Liu Chuanzhi might sneak into the Bailongdui desert secretly, and then release the source of the flood to General Hongwu.

By then, the day lilies are all cold!

Although it is impossible to accurately determine the use of water ghosts, since Liu Chuanzhi has worked so hard to get a large number of water ghosts, it must have important uses.

It is still necessary to turn back as soon as possible and report to General Hongwu.

"No, I have to think of a way..."

Jiang Chen was about to speak.

Inside the inn, Li Xian, an old strategist, was alert. With years of experience in "making people fight, it's a lot of fun", he quickly noticed that there was a hint of vigilance between the two generals.

Among them, there must be something strange!
"This is my chance, and it's also a chance for the Zonghengshu lineage!"

Li Xian would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately stepped forward, shouting loudly:

"You two generals, I have contacts with many local drug dealers, why don't you let me assist General Jiang in purchasing medicines, how about it?"

Liu Chuanzhi frowned.

Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation:
"Okay, although I only stayed in the city for half a day, I have heard of Mr. Li's reputation. It would be great for you to help my Qingzhou Army purchase medicines."

In the inn, the two brothers of the Wang Wang team, Wang Shi and Wang Qi, also echoed loudly:
"good."

"Mr. Li once ordered the two major civil gangs in Liangzhou, the Old Nine Gang and the Xihu Gang, to shake hands and make peace. I don't know how many fights have been avoided. It is well-known."

"Let him help the Qingzhou Army purchase medicines, and he will surely be able to buy a bunch of high-quality and cheap medicines."

Li, the chief culprit in the demise of the Old Ninth Gang and the Xihu Gang, Xian stroked his beard and smiled, but said nothing.

Annoyance flashed across Liu Chuanzhi's eyes, and he said slowly:

"Never mind."

"The general still has something important to do, so let's go first."

Done.

Liu Chuanzhi quickly disappeared into the night without turning his head. Obviously, his target was General Hongwu who was carrying the plague ghost seal.

…………

[Disaster: If you choose to help Hong Wu...you will be hated by Liu Chuanzhi, he will regard you as an enemy, attack and kill you in Liangzhou territory, burn you alive, and escape from death! 】

"The trip to Yumen Pass, at least I didn't get burned alive by this person."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Liu Chuanzhi go about thirty miles away with his heavenly eyes. After calculating the running speed of this person, he jumped to the front of the inn.

The two brothers of the Wangwang team tried to come up to compliment them, but Jiang Chen didn't have the heart to chat with the two stunned young men, so he immediately pulled Li Xian to the guest room on the second floor, and then slowly said:

"Mr. Li, I still have important tasks to attend to, so it's inconvenient to stay longer."

"Please help me to buy some medicinal materials to resist thunder. It would be great if I can find a good alchemist."

talking.

Jiang Chen took out the land deed of [-] mu from his bosom, and said in a deep voice:
"These are your rewards."

Li Xian accepted it calmly, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"If the general has any doubts, you can ask the villain."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he got all the information about this person:

【Li Xian】

[Status: Qi and blood full]

[Native place: Liangzhou, Guangzhi County, Taiping Township]

[Fate: Naturally Born Counselor (Red), Man of Disaster (Red/Black), Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth (White)]

[Fortune: Waiting for decades, finally waiting for troubled times...]

[Nickname: Yumen Guan Great Good Man, Justice of the Peace]

[Cultivation level: Zonghengshi (satisfactory digestion of medicinal properties), the total amount of qi and blood is about fifteen stones. 】

[Cultivation method (ability): Combine vertical and horizontal thousands of strategies (red)]

[Road: None]

[Heaven's Note: Justices of the Peace mess with peace!People who are born with a desire for troubled times may make meritorious deeds and crimes in the next few decades. They will be rich and honored when they are born, but they will be late when they die! 】

"Conspirator?"

Jiang Chen became interested, and said in a deep voice:
"There are no problems for the time being, but when the Qingzhou army returns to suppress the rebellion, there may be some troubles. I need to ask Mr. Li to help this general."

Li Xian was overjoyed, and his tone became more respectful:

"This is also the villain's wish, why use the word 'please'?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Mr. Li, although this general wants to have a detailed chat with you, he still has important matters to attend to, so I will go ahead."

Li Xian respectfully said:

"Let's go slowly, general. The villain will do his best to collect medicinal materials for the Qingzhou army and wipe out the blood scarf rebels!"

"Well, hard work."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he immediately turned over from the window. Before he landed, his whole body moved instantly, and in an instant, he appeared somewhere in the Bailongdui Desert.

"Moo~moo~"

The old green cow had already eaten all the bean cakes, staring at the few Achnatherum splendens that were struggling to grow in the desert, salivating, but because of the master's order, it would rather be hungry than eat half a mouthful of grass leaves. When Jiang Chen came back, he hurriedly Called a few times kindly.

"Hey, let's go back to the army!"

Jiang Chen touched the old green bull's head (ω)(._.`), then turned upside down and rode on the bull's back, and held the "ceremony: Riding the green bull backwards".

"Moo~"

The old green bull yelled, immediately moved its four hooves, and galloped westward.

…………

Twelve hours later.

Relying on "Tao: Crossing the Void" and the old Qingniu, Jiang Chen finally arrived at the temporary camp set up by the Qingzhou Army first.

"The current time is about three quarters of the ugly hour, and Liu Chuanzhi will not be able to arrive until the quarter of the Mao hour, that is, the moment before dawn."

"You still have time!"

Jiang Chen broke into the camp, and after being notified by his own soldiers, he got permission, and immediately strode towards the large carriage where General Hongwu was resting.

He couldn't help feeling a bit of doubt in his heart, for more than ten days, General Hong Wu didn't know why, he never left the car, let alone showed up.

Such a weird thing, even the nine thousand soldiers whispered and discussed it in private.

Someone even made a bold guess:

"The general who came back may not be General Hongwu, he was swapped!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, no one can escape the observation of the sky eye!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, not believing the speculation of these soldiers that the person in the carriage must be General Hongwu.

Afterwards, he stood beside the carriage and told the insiders all about what he saw and heard during his trip to Yumen Pass.

Inside the carriage, Hong Wu said lightly:
"The use of water ghosts is nothing more than pulling people into the water. If thousands of water ghosts come to pull a certain family, even if they have the power to lift up the sky, they will be hard to resist."

"Once Hong enters the water and the Plague Ghost comes back to life, the world will be in chaos!"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Why don't you report to the Holy Majesty, and make all the things committed by Liu thief public to the public?"

Hong Wu sat in the carriage and replied calmly:

"As you said, a certain company has already done it, but—whether it is the squad captain on the surface or a few deputy envoys sent secretly, after entering Liangzhou, there is no news at all."

"Even a few mature pigeons died on the way."

Between the words, there is some sadness.

Losing contact with Kyushu and the imperial court means that the Qingzhou Army has become a lone army with no one to rely on.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and thought to himself:

"Either it is Luo Jiao, or Prime Minister Sima Zhongda, it must be one of them, or the two sides are working together to make trouble..."

suddenly.

A bold idea flashed in Jiang Chen's mind, and he said with an idea:

"If Liangzhou is dangerous, why not order the envoy to go around Yizhou, then transfer to Zhongzhou, or go around the northern grasslands, then pass through Jizhou, and finally enter the capital?"

Hong Wu smiled:

"Well, although you were born in a poor family, you are smarter than someone imagined."

"Yes, a certain family has indeed sent envoys to Yizhou and the grassland. If they can enter Yujing smoothly, it may ruin Liu Chuanzhi's reputation!"

Jiang Chen cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:

"The last general will definitely find ways to help the general kill the willow thief and survive tonight's calamity!"
