Chapter 420: Mission
Early the next morning, Cong Ye opened the door and walked out. It's not that he's figured out the pamphlet from Crocodile Lun, but today is the day when Cao Zhong's soldiers are in the city, and he has to go out of the city to meet Cao Zhong again, which is also part of King Crocodile Lun's plan.
"Sir."
Since Ouyang Lanlan's mother and daughter began to cultivate, they no longer worry about Cong Ye staying up late as they did at the beginning, because as long as they don't serve Cong Ye at night, they tend to practice all night, knowing that cultivation will not make the body feel tired, but the more they cultivate, the more energetic they are.
"You prepare breakfast, I'll come back after I'm out of town."
"Yes, sir."
Under the service of the mother and daughter, after the bush leaves were washed, they hurried out of the city.
When I came to the outside of the city, I saw that the camp tents of Cao Zhong's troops were everywhere, and almost surrounded the north, southeast, and west sides of the town, leaving only one direction facing the sea in the north.
Finding Cao Zhong's Chinese army tent in the layers of military camps was not a difficult task for Cong Ye. When Cong Ye suddenly appeared in the Chinese army's account without alarming a sentry, although his generals were surprised, Cao Zhong did not explain to them, but just waved them to wait outside the tent.
"We knew that Dr. Cong would be coming today, so we didn't immediately order the siege."
"Oh? Why is Governor Cao so sure? ”
"We just received a secret message from the queen yesterday evening that the king did not dare to start a big war, and this is exactly what we wanted. If it can be resolved peacefully, why not? ”
"Does the queen also want a peaceful settlement?"
"Of course, the queen mother cares about the people of the world."
Cao Zhong's words couldn't help but remind Cong Ye of Bai Juyi's four poems:
Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, when Wang Mang Lixian was corporal.
If he died at that time, who knows if he has been loyal since ancient times?
"Commander Cao never thought that the queen had other purposes?"
"I don't know what Dr. Cong means by this?"
"I just want to say that whoever sits on the throne in the future will lead the family behind him to escape the fate of generations of sacrifices, regardless of the overthrow of the current king and his royal family."
"Truth be told, we've thought about it before. Therefore, this time, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, we must break free from the shackles and get rid of the fate of being in captivity. ”
"There are no absolutes, what if you don't achieve what you originally wanted?"
"Sooner or later, it's just ten years earlier, so what's there to be nostalgic for."
Seeing the resolute expression on Cao Zhong's face, Cong Ye knew that even if they knew that it was the queen who had ulterior motives, they probably wouldn't bother with her. In other words, from the very beginning, Cao Zhong and the others made up their minds that the fish would die and the net would be broken, and if they did not succeed, they would become benevolent.
"Commander Cao doesn't have to be discouraged, as the saying goes, there is no endless road, here is a handwritten letter entrusted to me by the king to give to Commander Cao, and we will continue to talk after Commander Cao reads it."
From the change in Cao Zhong's expression when he read the letter, Cong Ye could also guess the content of the letter.
At first, he looked indifferent, but since he was more and more surprised, until he was solemn, until he showed a hint of relieved joy.
"What does Governor Cao think?"
In fact, Cong Ye had not read this handwritten letter from King Crocodile Lun to Cao Zhong, but Cong Ye also knew that he must be talking about the origin of the royal family and the strategy of Crocodile Lun in his heart.
"I just don't know how His Majesty the King will treat the Queen Mother?"
"Since His Majesty the King did not mention it, it means that he did not think about disposing of the queen."
Cao Zhong took the letter in his hand and read it from the beginning again, before he said to Cong Ye:
"Please ask Dr. Cong to return to His Majesty on behalf of the criminal minister Cao Zhong, and the criminal minister Cao Zhong is willing to obey His Majesty's dispatch."
"It's so good, as soon as you ask Governor Cao to act according to the plan, the life of rebirth is beautiful."
Cao Zhong's rebellion was not originally for power, but just to get rid of the fate of being captive, so seeing that the king also had this heart, how could he not gladly obey?
Cong Ye, who soon returned to the medical hall, finished breakfast accompanied by Ouyang Lanlan's mother and daughter, and said to the two:
"Now that Zhenbei City has been besieged by the Grand Governor Shuai Shuai Corps, the medical hall will no longer be open to receive patients. You two should both hide upstairs and practice according to the Kurong Technique. ”
Ouyang Lanlan respectfully agreed:
"Yes, sir."
Qian Ying looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and Cong Ye couldn't help asking:
"What does Xiaoying want to say?"
"Xiaoying and her mother went upstairs to hide, I don't know what the master is going to do?"
"Hehe, of course I'm downstairs watching the door."
"Master, Xiaoying accompanies the master downstairs to watch the door."
"Tease you, I have something to do, I want to go to the city lord's mansion to accompany the king."
Seeing what her daughter was going to say, Ouyang Lanlan hurriedly called her:
"Xiaoying."
Qian Ying stopped talking and followed Ouyang Lanlan upstairs.
Cong Ye did not go to the city lord's mansion to see the king, but made a detour to the north gate and went straight to the vast North Sea. When I came to the sea, I really saw a big ship anchored in a bay. This ship is only slightly larger than a fishing boat compared to a ship on Earth, but it is a huge ship here.
Cong Ye's purpose here was to destroy the giant ship, so that the queen, Zhan Bo and others would have no excuse to ask the king to retreat to the sea, so they had to negotiate face-to-face with the Grand Governor Cao Zhong according to the king's set.
Throughout the game, or the Warriors' Conspiracy, the purpose of building this giant ship is twofold. First, this was used as a foreshadowing, when Cao Zhong rose up, the queen and Murong Shilin and others persuaded the king to retreat to Zhenbei City. Second, once the king boarded the ship in a panic when Cao Zhong's troops attacked the city, he could exile the king and the entire royal family to the vast North Sea, so as to save the infamy of killing the king in the future.
Therefore, in Crocodile Lun's plan, the first step is to gain Cao Zhong's trust, and the second part is to destroy the big ship. In this way, the conspiracy of the Zhan family is basically self-defeating.
Although there is a leader of the town north of the city waiting, it does not pose any danger to the clump leaves. casually smashed a few big holes in the waterline of the big boat, and seeing the huge boat slowly sinking, those soldiers in the boat had already run out in a panic.
The leaves did not stay long, and disappeared without a trace on the vast sea in the blink of an eye.
The Imperial Palace, the capital city, tens of thousands of miles away, is Cong Ye's next destination.
Tong Guò's conversation with King Crocodile Lun in the Lord's Mansion, especially after seeing the other party's plan, Cong Ye also changed his original plan to stay out of the matter. As the saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest. Even if he is not a native of the cage, what should Ouyang Lanlan and Qian Ying's mother and daughter do? If he can't find a way out of the cage star in the next ten years, Cong Ye can be sure that with his current cultivation, even if he can barely defeat the crocodile demon who came to collect the sacrificial flesh, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the master behind it.
If he wants to hide secretly to avoid the catastrophe ten years later, it is even less likely that even Crocodile Lun can sense his existence the moment he enters the city, not to mention his ancestor, the crocodile demon.
Therefore, Congye had to decide to assist Crocodile Lun and act according to the plan he had made. If it really succeeds, it will also be of great benefit to Cong Ye himself, at least even if he can't find a way to leave the cage star in a short time, there is no danger of staying here, isn't it
