That night, Changshi Chen Lang had no intention of sleeping, and sat in the study of his house for a night.

He was shocked by what Zhou Hu said last night.

"No wonder Zhou Hu wasn't afraid of offending a circle of people, it turned out that he ...... It turned out that he didn't want to defend Xuchang at all, he just wanted to take away the county guard......

His face was full of horror and solemnity.

Last night, although Zhou Hu didn't say it explicitly, Chen Lang could understand the meaning of his words: If Zhou Hu can't be the captain, I will persuade Li Jun to abandon Xuchang and retreat to Kunyang.

Of course, Chen Lang understands that once Li Junshou decides to abandon Xuchang and defect to Kunyang, the rebels will inevitably take the opportunity to seize Xuchang and even send troops to pursue it.

That Zhou Hu clearly practiced the strategy of 'borrowing a knife to kill', and used the hands of the rebels to get rid of them all.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the rebels and flee to the area of Kunyang...... So what?

Kunyang is the territory of Zhou Hu, there are Zhou Hu's people everywhere, that Zhou Hu can easily get rid of them, blame the rebels, and there is no proof of death, who can prove that Zhou Hu killed them?

"Then you can only ...... Help him become a lieutenant?'

Chen Lang clenched his fist and immediately released it weakly.

Also, even if you are unwilling, what can you do?

That Zhou Hu's family business was far away in Kunyang, not in Xuchang, he could take Li Junshou away at any time by patting his buttocks, but what about them?

Unless you let Zhou Hu become a captain......

"Ruthless...... This week's tiger methods are really ruthless......

Chen Lang muttered to himself.

At this moment, he finally realized how ruthless the former bandit leader was, no wonder even the rebels were planted in his hands.

"Sir? Master? ”

"Huh?"

When Chen Lang came back to his senses again, he saw the servants in the house standing in front of him, with a look of concern and questioning.

Turning his head to look out the window, he realized that it was very bright outside. - Did he sit in his study all night?

"What's the matter?"

Rubbing his somewhat swollen forehead, Chen Lang asked with a frown.

The servant obviously also saw that his lord was in a bad mood, and said cautiously: "Just now, a servant of the county government came to the mansion, saying that it was on the order of the county guard, and invited the lord and the captain of Zhou Shang, who came to our mansion yesterday as a guest, to go to the county guard mansion to discuss important matters. ”

"Oh......"

Chen Lang suddenly realized.

Also, yesterday because Zhou Hu and Du Lieutenant Cao Suo had a stiff quarrel, Li Junshou temporarily suspended the military discussion and postponed it to this day.

"Master, do you want to send someone to Xiyuan to inform the captain of the upper part of Zhou?" The servant asked cautiously.

"Hmm."

Chen Langgang nodded, and then changed his words: "I'll go in person." ”

"Yes."

The servant glanced at his master in surprise and left respectfully.

“…… Hateful! ”

Looking at the back of the servant leaving, Chen Lang scolded hatefully.

It's not to scold the domestic servant, but to scold a former bandit leader, or to scold him for his own lack of interest - obviously Zhou Hu humiliated him when he was in Kunyang, but now, he has to go to please others, so as not to be hated by that Zhou Hu and become a 'dead man' in the latter's mouth.

This grievance made Chen Lang ashamed and annoyed.

But no matter how ashamed he was, he didn't dare to joke with his life and his family.

"Fur ......"

After a long breath, Chen Lang calmed down and got up and headed towards Xiyuan.

A moment later, he came to the small building where Zhao Yu stayed yesterday.

I saw that outside the small building at this time, there were two black tiger thieves wrapped in black scarves.

If it were in the past, Chen Lang would definitely call the name of 'Zhou Hu' unceremoniously.

However, at this moment, he has lost that confidence in his heart.

He arched his hand curtly and said, "The two, I don't know if the captain of the upper part of Zhou has already gotten up?" ”

I have to say that fortunately, Chen Lang did not treat these black tiger thieves badly when he entertained them yesterday, so the two black tiger thieves were still very polite in their words: "Chen Changshi, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Lang nodded and said, "That's the case, Li Junshou sent someone to come and summon the upper lieutenant of Zhou to go to the county guard's mansion with his subordinates." The two of them also knew that the summons of the county keeper could not be delayed. ”

"That's right."

The two black tiger thieves nodded in agreement, and immediately reported to He Shun, who was resting on the first floor of the building, and asked He Shun to go to the second floor to communicate.

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Yu walked out of the building with Jingnu.

Seeing that Chen Lang was standing outside the building in person, Zhao Yu was happy, and stepped forward to greet Chen Lang: "Chen Changshi." ”

"Zhou, Zhou's upper lieutenant ......"

Compared with yesterday's attitude towards Zhao Yu, Chen Lang at this moment really seemed a little cautious, and barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "I don't know where Captain Zhou rested last night?" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Jingnu who was standing aside with her head down, and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you Chen Changshi." ”

Saying that, he asked Chen Lang: "Regarding the mention of Zhou yesterday, I don't know if Chen Changshi can think about it?" ”

『……』

Of course, Chen Lang understood what Zhao Yu was referring to, and after glancing at Zhao Yu, he said with a complicated mood: "Under ...... Willing to help ...... below"

"Haha."

Zhao Yu was not surprised by Chen Lang's reaction, stepped forward and patted the latter's arm, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, you and I can get along well......

"Yes, yes......" Chen Lang nodded with a sneering face, and then arched his hand and said: "I have ordered the house to prepare breakfast, it is better to go to eat first, so as not to make the county guard wait for a long time." ”

"Good. …… Let Chen Changshi bother. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

A moment later, Zhao Yu and his entourage had breakfast, and then took the carriage from Chen Lang's mansion to the county guard mansion together.

On the way, Zhao Yu asked Chen Lang about some things about Xuchang, and Chen Lang knew everything and said everything, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

At this time, in front of the gate of the county guard's mansion, Xun Yi, the western governor who was also called, was standing in front of the mansion waiting for Zhao Yu.

Seeing Zhao Yu, Jingnu, and Chen Lang get down from the same carriage, a hint of color flashed in Xun Yi's eyes.

"Captain Zhou Shangbu, Chen Changshi."

"Post overseer."

"Xun Du Post."

After greeting each other, Xun Yi looked up and down at Chen Lang, who was a little embarrassed, and asked with a tentative smile: "Chen Changshi's complexion is not good today, it can't be that Chief Zhou has caused you any trouble, right?" ”

Seeing Zhao Yu looking at him with a smile, Chen Lang was shocked for no reason, and shook his head again and again: "No, not ......"

From the side, Zhao Yu grabbed Chen Lang's shoulders and said to Xun Yi with a smile: "Who is Zhou Hu when I supervise the post?" Right, Chen Changshi? ”

"Yes, yes......" Chen Lang nodded again and again.

Seeing that Chen Lang actually allowed Zhao Yu to stop his shoulders and make a gesture of intimacy, Xun Yi's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, and he quietly gave Zhao Yu a thumbs up: Amazing!

Although he didn't understand what kind of means this Zhou leader used, he could see that this Zhou leader had already surrendered Chen Lang.

In order to avoid embarrassing Chen Lang, Xun Yi diverted the topic and said: "Song Juncheng and Cao Duwei haven't come yet, shall we go in first?" ”

"Let's go in first."

After Zhao Yu nodded, the three of them entered the mansion along with Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun and the twenty black tiger thieves who followed the carriage.

As yesterday, the rest of the people were waiting in the courtyard of the front yard, and only Zhao Yu, Xun Yi, and Chen Lang entered the house, plus Niu Heng, who acted as Zhao Yu's guard.

Sure enough, the three of them came early, and the county Cheng Song Shu and the governor Cao Suo had not yet arrived, and the official who led the three of them respectfully said to the three of them: "The three of them will be here later." ”

Hearing this, Chen Lang was about to walk to yesterday's seat, but was grabbed by Zhao Yu's arm, and said with a smile: "Chen Changshi, let's sit together?" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Lang to the seat on the west side, pointed to the seat where Xun Yi had sat yesterday, and said with a smile: "Please." ”

“……”

Chen Lang's color changed slightly, he looked at Zhao Yu, and then at Xun Yi, who looked a little playful, and finally sat down in that position.

Not long after, Du Wei Cao Suo took Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and a few others to the house together.

When he saw Zhao Yu sitting on the seat that should have belonged to Du Wei Cao Suo like yesterday, Wei Shi Hanhe sneered and said in a low voice: "It seems that this guy is planning to 'make a mistake'......"

Hearing this, Tian Qin and Liao Guang also sneered.

Suddenly, Tian Qin suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Lang who was sitting at the head of Zhao Yu, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and he reminded Cao Suo in a low voice: "Du Wei ......"

Cao Suo raised his hand to interrupt Tian Qin, because he had also noticed that Chen Lang at this moment.

"How could it ......?"

Cao Suo's heart was in disbelief.

You must know that as far as he knows, Zhou Hu offended Chen Lang, and yesterday Chen Lang was still on his side, why did Chen Lang 'defect' to Zhou Hu's side after only one night?

Looking at Chen Lang, Cao Suo felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, Chen Lang was the chief of the county guard's mansion, the chief of all officials, and his position was not low.

“……”

After taking a few deep glances at Chen Lang, Cao Suo and his party quietly came to yesterday's location.

Soon after, the county Cheng Song also arrived.

Just like Cao Suo and the others, when Song Shu saw Chen Lang sitting at the bottom of Zhou Hu, his face also showed a look of consternation.

It's just one night's work, and this week the tiger 'rebelled' against Chen Lang?

Recalling the ulterior motives in Zhou Hu's eyes when he looked at him yesterday, Song Shu faintly felt that something was not quite right.

You must know that Chen Lang, the chief of the county guard, although he is a subordinate of Li Junshou, has no real subordinate relationship with Song Shu as the county leader, but many times, Chen Lang works under Song Shu, so for Chen Lang, Song Shu still knows a lot about himself, and he can't imagine that Chen Lang will turn to the side of Zhou Hu.

"What the hell is going on?"

Song Shu muttered secretly in his heart.

Just when he had the heart to take a step to ask Chen Lang about the situation, Li Junshou also stepped into the house.

Seeing this, Song Shu could only temporarily suppress the doubt in his heart and sit in the seat that belonged to him.

At the same time, Li Junshou also noticed Chen Lang, who 'changed seats', and a few traces of surprise flashed in his eyes: This Zhou Hu, plotted against Chen Lang?

But he didn't want to delve into it, after all, what he cared about most was whether he could defeat the rebels, and as for who would be the captain, to be honest, he didn't really care.

"Okay, now that we're all here, let's continue yesterday's military discussion......"

After sitting on the main seat, Li Junshou glanced around at the people in the room and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Including Zhao Yu, everyone clasped their fists.

The atmosphere in the room was even more eerie than yesterday.
