Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 171

Suicide!

Suicide again!

Tao Ya followed the sound and looked around. He was quite surprised when he saw this scene. After a while, he said: "I didn't expect that among these thieves, there is someone with backbone. It's a pity that he is a thief! But, what does he mean by this?" He didn't mean it either. Foolish people, after hearing this, have their own judgment.

Zhuge Yan fell silent, obviously thinking about something, and finally shook his head and said, "I will figure it out later." After saying this, he said goodbye to Tao Ya and others, went straight to the wing on the second floor, and knocked on the door to ask for permission.

"Zhuge Yan asks to see Mr. Chen."

Hearing Zhuge Yan's words, Chen Chi and Chen Bian in the room were startled and hurriedly came out to greet him.

"I have seen Mr. Zhuge, and I can't believe that he is so polite!"

"Mr. Chen saved my life. This is a deep kindness. There is no politeness or impoliteness. It is all from the heart." Zhuge Yan walked in and saw Chen Zhi who was resting in bed.

Chen Zhi's complexion recovered a lot. When he saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge, you're welcome."

Zhuge Yan said seriously: "Thanks to your help this time, sir, otherwise I really don't know how to get out of this disaster, let alone kill the big thief." His tone was particularly sincere.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "I also want to protect myself. Besides, without the concerted efforts of Pengcheng, I alone would not be able to save you, let alone Wang Mi."

Zhuge Yan nodded and said: "I will bear in mind the support shown by everyone in Pengcheng. I also heard about Wang Mi's fate. After this incident, Mr. Chen's name will be spread far and wide."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chi was still a little confused, but Chen Bian had already reacted and showed joy. He knew that Zhuge Yan said that the Zhuge family would help Chen Zhi become famous. With such a big family helping Chen Zhi, it was only a matter of time before his reputation rose. It would be a matter of time before he could break out of Xuzhou. Not a fantasy.

"I've met a noble man! This noble man finally favors me, a descendant of the Chen family!"

At this moment, Chen Bian suddenly recalled the scene when the elder Xu Zhi came to the door.

When Xu Zhi mentioned the news about a noble person for the first time, he said that being favored by him would bring endless benefits. But at that time, Chen Bian never imagined that this benefit would actually fall on the Chen family!
You know, the Chen family has declined, and the situation in Pengcheng County is in jeopardy. There are no children in the younger generation, so it is really difficult to stand out in front of Zhuge Yan.

I never thought that the ridiculous person who was present that day would achieve what he does today.

Looking back on the past, I feel filled with emotion.

Chen Zhi did not have so many insights. He did not feel that it was a great thing to be favored by Zhuge Yan. He became humble, neither humble nor arrogant. When Zhuge Yan talked with him, he felt less respectful and more peaceful, and gradually became close to him. meaning.

After saying a few words, Zhuge Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you don't give up, Mr. Chen can call me by my name. Mr. Chen should already know it."

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Zhuge doesn't need to call me sir. We can just treat you as friends."

"it is good!"

Chen Chi, Chen Bian and others next to him were extremely surprised when they heard this. This conversation contained an important message, that is, Chen Zhi was regarded as a friend by Zhuge Yan.

Friends, in this era, are resources.Sometimes, if there is a political problem, as a friend you will be implicated. On the other hand, if one party gains power, you will also benefit as a friend.

Zhuge Yan is a direct descendant of a top aristocratic family, so you can get a glimpse of the benefits of being his friend just by looking at how many people he attracts when he goes on a study tour.

On the other hand, the Chen family is not even considered high-ranking in Pengcheng County. If through Chen Zhi's relationship, they can climb to the top of the Zhuge family, even if they don't reach the sky in one step, they will at least benefit a lot.

Chen, the old man of the Chen family, was overjoyed here, but Zhuge Yan suddenly asked, "Does Brother Chen know what happened outside the building just now?" As he spoke, his expression changed slightly and became a little solemn.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Did Wang Mi's subordinate suddenly commit suicide? I already know it."

"I think this matter is not simple, and I would like to exchange views with you, Brother Chen." Zhuge Yan glanced at Chen Chi, Chen Bian and others, but hesitated to speak.

Chen Bian observed the words and understood, so he quickly said: "Mr. Zhuge and my nephew are good friends, so they must have a lot to say. It is inappropriate for us to stay here. You guys talk first, and we will see what happens next, Chen Bian. As a member of the Pengcheng family, we are responsible for this and cannot stay away from it."

Chen Chi also reacted, nodded repeatedly, followed the others and left the wing.

At this time, Chen Zhicai asked: "Brother Zhuge, do you think there is someone behind Wang Mi?"

"The possibility is very high." Zhuge Yan said bluntly, "It's just that it's hard to judge who the person behind this is. I wonder if Brother Chen has a clue?"

…………… “Any news?”

At the same time, outside Napeng City, there was a hill with a stone on the top, as smooth as a platform.

There was a man sitting on the stone on the edge of the cliff. He had a dignified appearance and a majestic body. He closed his eyes. When he heard some movement on the mountain road, he opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly.

"I have seen the general."

Behind him, a man walked out of the mountain road. He was dressed in shabby clothes, like a refugee, but he was strong and full of heaven. He came to the edge of the stone, clasped his fists and said: "Wang Mi is defeated, Zhuge is safe."

"Wang Mi was defeated?" The man on the edge of the cliff shook his head, showing a look of disappointment, "Wang Mi has such a great reputation. He joined our clan this time and boasted about it. However, I gave him many warriors, but none of them succeeded. There is no way to escape, and it seems that it is not worthy of its name."

After the words fell, another thin voice came from the side, and then a well-dressed man walked out of the mountain forest, came to the man on the edge of the cliff, saluted, and then said in a deep voice: "General, the spy of the Yangzhou Governor, and I found it, do you want to remove it?"

"Wang Dun's people are here again?" The man on the edge of the cliff laughed when he heard the words, "It's really haunting, but after a few words in person, he can hold a grudge to this point. This man's character is really unpredictable. If he gains power, he will be unscrupulous!"

As he said that, he stood up, turned around and walked, saying as he walked: "There is no need to cut off, it is easy to expose. Wang Dun suspected my identity when he was in Yangzhou. If he cuts off his people again now, this person will definitely be exposed." We won’t give up. The gains outweigh the losses. Besides, Wang Mi is defeated, and we don’t need to stay any longer. It’s time to go see other people. Doesn’t the Jie man who was chased all over the place by the butcher also want to join our clan? Just in time. Let’s go and see him, by the way, what’s his name?”

The well-dressed man thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Shi Le."

"Shi Le? Then go and meet this Shi Le, Wang Mi has let me down, I don't know what this Shi Le is like." The man on the edge of the cliff took great steps, and while he was talking, he had already walked down the hill and came to a forest.

Before entering the forest, he said to the person who came first: "Go back first. There is no need to explore Pengcheng. Just wait for the order."

The man nodded when he heard the words and turned back the way he came. His footsteps were steady and fast, and he soon disappeared into the mountains.

The well-dressed man was a little puzzled, and asked: "General, don't you want to ask how Wang Mi was defeated?"

"My energy is limited, so I can't waste it on such things. Since Wang Mi is dead, it's useless. Why bother to ask? It's a waste of energy." As he spoke, the man who was called the general took another step, while As he walked, he said, "Let's talk about Shi Le."

The well-dressed man quickly followed him and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know much about this Shi Le. I heard that he was born a slave. He fled north after being defeated by Gou Xi. Recently, he was chased by Wang Jun's troops from Youzhou. You only seek refuge when you are desperate, maybe you have other thoughts."

The general asked back: "Aren't the soldiers and horses under Wang Jun's command that can fight Duan Bu Xianbei? Who is chasing Shi Le? Duan Mobei or Duan Pixi [dī]?"

The man in well-dressed clothes respectfully replied: "The general is wise, Duan Pixi."

"Duan Pixi has a loyal heart and will not be merciful when chasing Jie people and horse thieves. It is not surprising that Shi Le is not his opponent. Now there is no place for him in the north and south. It is normal to seek refuge with our clan. Could it be that there is no room for such a person?" ?”

The well-dressed man nodded in agreement.

The general added: "This time Zhuge went north and got help from the King of East China Sea. A few days ago, he arranged for a man to guard Jinyang, named Liu Kun. He seems to have some skills. If Shi Le can use it, let him deal with Liu Kun. By the way, do you know Liu Kun?"

The well-dressed man nodded: "This man has a heroic spirit. As soon as he arrived in Jinyang, he made friends with Tuoba Xianbei. He is not a simple person. In addition, this man is a close friend of Zu Ti, the new prefect of Jiyin. Rumor has it that The two of them once studied and practiced martial arts together, and they practiced hard without stopping and had great ambitions. However, Liu Kun's reputation is much greater and he is friends with many famous people, while Zu Ti did not achieve much."

"Zu Ti? Zheng Zuna, the commander of Pengcheng County, is his brother. I have heard of him. He is a powerful person, but his reputation is not good." As he spoke, the general couldn't help but sigh, "There are indeed many people in China. Hero, it's a pity that they are incompatible. Let's just say that this time, in order to deal with Zhuge Yan, he actually found me here. But then again, since I met the legitimate son of Wuxiang Marquis, even if no one entrusted me , I won’t let it go easily.”

While talking, the two walked through the woods, and the scene suddenly opened up. People outside the forest were neighing, and there were more than a dozen strong men and a dozen horses waiting.

"General!"

As soon as they saw the two people walking out of the woods, more than a dozen people immediately greeted them in unison, all with loud voices.

The general smiled slightly, came to a horse, got on the horse, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head.

When the others saw this, they all got on their horses and moved neatly.

"General, where should I go?"

"Go to Qingzhou first!" The general smiled slightly, showing a hint of intoxication in reminiscing, "Before I see Shi Le, do the Han prince a favor. Doesn't he want to kill King Langya? I'll do the next thing for him later. Bi, in addition, I also went to meet my old friends. Wasn’t the Yang Shizhong who scolded the king in the court also from Qingzhou? Although he is dead, the Yang family is still there. I have come, so why not leave? Last time! Drive!"

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

With a burst of urging, everyone rode away, raising smoke and dust all the way!
