Chen Mu patted Zhang Han's shoulder to stabilize his emotions, and then said, "I speculate that Tang Hong is more likely to run to the north gate." After all, I am the person who is newly included in his account, and I was still Kong Xiaoxian's person before, so Tang Hong's trust in me is still in words. However, he thinks that he has trapped me, and he thinks that with his status as a gate lord, I will definitely not rebel against him. And when Kong Xiaoxian died, I became his person completely. ”

Zhang Cripple's expression was grim: "If you stay with Kong Xiaoxian for a little longer, or if your skills are a little weaker, I believe that tonight, Tang Hong will definitely take you out." Let you die outside too. ”

"Yes." Chen Mu nodded and patted the lame man on the shoulder, Chen Mu liked the transparency of the lame man, and found that the lame man was more and more like his own driver Lao Zhang. He is very powerful, but if he hands over a company to him, he will make the company yellow. The reason for this result may be due to some kind of character flaw. And his brainpower, there is no problem.

Chen Mu withdrew his hand: "Since I plan to do this, I have two other steps to consider. The first step is to enlist Li Xiu's support; The second step is to kill Sun Tingyu. Then we occupy the northern wall, and if possible, the south and east gates are not spared. Guaranteed to be foolproof. ”

"Li Xiu?" The cripple frowned.

Chen Muyi smiled and said: "Yes, Li Xiu is a civil official, and he is also the person sent by Tang Hong to Kong Xiaoxian's side, but I think I can convince Li Xiu." ”

The cripple's brows furrowed even tighter: "You're not afraid that Li Xiu will kill us?" ”

"Does he have what it takes?" Chen Mu snorted coldly: "I think he is a person who understands and knows what it means to be 'a man who knows the times as a handsome'." ”

"What if Li Xiu doesn't agree?" Zhang Han asked.

Chen Mu gritted his teeth: "Then he must die." ”

"You killed the general......" Zhang Han hesitated.

Chen Mu stood up and looked out the window: "I just said that he collaborated with the enemy and sent a letter to Alando, which caused us to be ambushed last time, and also caused our ambush strategy to fail." After killing him, take away his military power. If Wu Dong dares to interfere, then even Wu Dong will be killed together. But I don't think Wu Dong will care about this kind of thing. He was the supervisor of the 7th Regiment, not the 3rd Brigade. His duty was to see that the Seventh Regiment did not rebel against the imperial court, and he did not care about the internal strife of the Shence Army. In addition, I am not treason, I am just clearing the obstacles for Kong Xiaoxian. After taking Kong Xiaoxian in, he was the supreme governor of Jiuquan City, and according to the practice of the Liang army, the captain died in battle, and the supreme commander took over the command and became the temporary captain. And Kong Xiaoxian will still be stationed in Jiuquan to defend the Daliang River. This is not a bad thing for Wu Dong, but it may be a good thing. Because he may follow Kong Xiaoxian together, the tide rises and rises, and he becomes the third brigade supervisor. ”

Zhang lame shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that you have thought about it so much. ”

Chen Mu asked, "Do you dare to do it?" ”

"Dare!" Zhang Cripple stood up: "I'm so old, I've been in the bag all my life, and now I finally have the opportunity to stand up, can I not do it?" ”

Chen Mu turned around: "Zhang Han, what about you." ”

Zhang Han stood straight: "I have nothing to say, I will do whatever you want." ”

"Good. Let Lu Han keep an eye on the city. Cripple, go and bring your thirty people, let's go find Li Xiu. ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Mu muttered in a low voice: "If Li Xiu agrees, I will also take away his military power." It's just that I won't take his life. ”

Thirty people were gathered.

Chen Mu led the people directly to the lookout in the center of the city, which was four feet high and made of wood as a whole. As soon as Li Xiu was appointed as the temporary commander of Jiuquan City, he climbed the lookout.

Li Xiu observed Chen Mu's arrival and asked Chen Mu what was the matter?

Chen Mu didn't answer, and directly climbed the ladder of the lookout, and just when Chen Mu was about to climb up, Li Xiu held his arm and opened the crossbow and aimed it at Chen Mu's head.

At this time, Chen Mu was still about a zhang away from Li Xiu, and Li Xiu was condescending, staring at Chen Mu.

Li Xiu's voice was low: "Go down and return to your defense area." ”

Chen Mu slowed down, climbed up another foot, stopped, and said, "I'm here to save you." ”

Li Xiu sneered: "I don't need you to save me." ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Don't be so dead-eyed, I haven't said anything yet." ”

Li Xiu clenched his crossbow and aimed at Chen Mu: "I know what you have to say, I have long warned Tang Hong that I can't leave you behind, but unfortunately Tang Hong didn't listen." Now that Tang Hong has put the military power in my hands, I can't make the same mistake. If you don't want your head to blossom right now, you should go down quickly. I'll act like nothing happened. When Tang Hong returns, you will continue to be his subordinate. He is reluctant to let you die. I also believe that after Kong Xiaoxian's death, you can follow Tang Honggan in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Li Xiu, you are a person who understands. As long as you give me half a cup of tea. ”

"I'm sorry not to give it."

With a "bang", Chen Mu grabbed the crossbow in Li Xiu's hand, fought with one hand, and bent the crossbow machine.

In the flash of light, Chen Mu actually rushed up with a jump.

Li Xiu never expected this, but was frightened by Chen Mu and took a few steps back.

On the lookout, there was a servant beside Li Xiu, who drew his sword and rushed over. Chen Mulun raised his arm and smashed the crossbow on Hu Cong's head, only to hear the Hu Cong snort and fall to the ground, twitching twice and then not moving.

Li Xiu wanted to draw the knife, but felt that it was meaningless, so he sat down in a chair on the lookout in a decadent manner.

Chen Mu threw the crossbow aside: "Li Xiu, I admire your brainpower, you are a transparent person." It's a pity that you can't practice qi. You've also underestimated my strength. You think, I can't jump up all at once. ”

Li Xiu was shocked, paused for a while, calmed down, and asked, "Chen Mu, what kind of combat power are you?" ”

"I don't know."

"Huh." Li Xiu smiled bitterly: "One leap and one foot high, I'm afraid there are more than seven grades." How could someone like you come to Jiuquan to start as a soldier? ”

"I don't have time to tell you that." Chen Mu approached: "Help me, save Kong Xiaoxian." ”

"You are really a good slave of Kong Xiaoxian. But don't you think it's a disadvantage to do so? Tang Hong values you so much, and he will definitely reuse you in the future. Tang Hong is the Tang family and the son of the gate valve. ”

"I'm not anyone's minion, I want to help whomever I want, it's nothing more than for myself. You said that Tang Hong valued me, and I also knew it, but Tang Hong's heart was too poisonous, couldn't you realize it? ”

"No poison, no husband!" Li Xiu glared.

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "But when he poisons you, I'm afraid you won't be able to face it so easily." Kong Xiaoxian is different, although he sometimes pretends to be benevolent and righteous, but when a person pretends to be benevolent and righteous for a lifetime, it is true benevolence. I know that your Li family has also been favored by the Tang Clan Gate Valve for several generations, and your family is also under the control of the Tang Clan Gate Valve, so you will not betray the Gate Valve, but Kong Xiaoxian is also a member of the Tang Clan, and Kong Xiaoxian is now in a good relationship with Tang Zhen, they are people on the same line. You followed Kong Xiaoxian, you are working for your son Tang Zhen, you did not betray the Tang family, and you are not sorry for your ancestors. Since Kong Xiaoxian is stronger than Tang Hong, why don't we help Kong Xiaoxian? ”

Li Xiu frowned: "I'm different from you, you just joined the army and were soldiers of the Seventh Regiment, and now at the critical moment, you choose to help Kong Xiaoxian, as long as you say that you still have the Seventh Regiment in your heart, Kong Xiaoxian will believe it, and I am very grateful to you." But I'm different, I was originally the person sent by Tang Hong to Kong Xiaoxian's side, Tang Hong sent me to the Seventh Regiment just to clamp down on Kong Xiaoxian, and now I replaced Kong Xiaodong and became the general of the Third Brigade, how could Kong Xiaoxian let me go? ”

"I have a way to keep you from dying."

"What can you do?"

"Hehe, I think, now you can only trust me, or I'll let you die right away. But I'm a little reluctant to give you that. ”

"What's the use of keeping me for you?"

"It's very simple, I think you're a transparent person. I'm new to the city and want to have a few reliable and savvy friends. In the future, you and I will jointly assist Kong Xiaoxian, and I will have a good time, and I think you will too. ”
