Chapter 55: Dangling
"In such a time of scarcity, it is really commendable to be able to do this in the name of an individual.
However, as time went on, I realized that I might be overthinking. Because one day, Chen Feng suddenly sent someone to our beggar's residence, and selected more than 20 people to take away semi-forcibly.
I made a point of remembering what those people looked like. I'm ashamed to say that although I'm not young, my memory has always been very good, so I can roughly remember what those people looked like.
It's just that I feel terrified from the bottom of my heart that I haven't seen them in Bailu City since they were taken away, not even a single one......"
Zhuge Gu suddenly stopped when he said this. Because of the skin and bones, the already terrifying look on his face became even more terrifying at the moment.
"Don't panic, now in front of you, there is me."
Tang Ye spoke, his voice calm and low.
Zhuge Gu looked at Tang Ye, the expression on his face gradually eased, and the whole person seemed to become much more relaxed.
Obviously, because of Tang Ye's existence, he became at ease.
Without saying any flattering words, Zhuge Gu took a deep breath and continued with an exhalation:
"Those who were taken away were relatively young and strong among the beggars. If it's for conscription, there's no need to be so sneaky. So I suspect that the partial general named Chen Feng must be doing something shady in secret!
On the surface, they help beggars, but in fact, they take some people who don't know where to send them or what they are used for.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I ran out of the abandoned houses that I had lived in, and I never drank the rice porridge they gave me again, never lived in any of the abandoned houses they provided, and never saw anyone taken away again......"
After saying everything he wanted to say in one breath, Zhuge Gu began to gasp heavily.
Tang Ye hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back, but the other party's gasping became heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Tang Ye immediately withdrew his hand, his face slightly embarrassed. Then he cautiously comforted:
"Don't talk about it yet, I already know the general situation. You can rest well, and we'll take care of the rest. ”
Hearing these heart-warming words, Zhuge Gu, who had not been warmed for a long time, moved slightly, and his deeply sunken eyes moistened a little again......
Gently closing the door, Tang Ye led Yang Ke to the next room. As soon as the door was replaced, the man with a cold face couldn't wait to ask:
"My lord, that person just now...... Is it reliable? ”
Tang Ye glanced at Yang Ke and smiled indifferently: "It's okay." I chatted with him all morning, and I could feel that he did have a high level of military talent.
Moreover, he was one of the powerful men in central Yunzhou - a strategist under Ma Long, so he has very rich practical experience.
Although he has been a beggar for more than half a year, he is definitely worse than he was at the beginning, but as long as his body recovers, he will definitely become our think tank and even a guide. ”
Yang Ke was silent for a moment and continued: "Looking at him like that, one foot is probably closed in the ghost gate, and whether he can survive is a question......
Hearing this, Tang Ye sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea for Yang Ke, and said calmly:
"I've taken him to the doctor, and it's true that he's sick, but it's not enough to be fatal. It is possible to heal slowly. ”
Yang Ke took the tea, held it in the palm of his hand but didn't drink it: "But the price is too great." There is no shortage of strategists in this era, why should the lord treat a dying beggar as a treasure? ”
"No, it's different." Tang Ye took a sip of Longjing tea, and suddenly felt the fresh fragrance between his lips and teeth, "I know that there is no shortage of strategists in this era. But such experienced and honed talents are even more valuable.
They know how to circumvent the hardships they have experienced and get closer to success sooner than ever for themselves and the monarchs they assist them!
It is precisely because there are so many strategists in this era that I don't care much about those who are talented but young and frivolous, and I am not willing to use my safety to promote their growth.
On the contrary, this older age is more calm, more thoughtful, and more suitable for my style of acting.
Although the disadvantage is that there is no passion, and I don't even dare or want to take risks, you and I will naturally make up for this. ”
After listening to what Tang Ye said, Yang Ke nodded suddenly, and did not express any more doubts about Zhuge Gu.
However, Tang Ye still added: "Of course, if the strength shown by this person in the future does not satisfy me, then I will not keep him for a long time." ”
Tang Ye groped his fingers for the edge of the celadon tea cup, and turned his head to look at Yang Ke: "Don't talk about this, now there is a task to be handed over to you." ”
Hearing this, Yang Ke, who was about to take a sip of tea, suddenly put down his cup and stood up, respectfully clasped his fists and said, "What does the lord command!" ”
Tang Ye rubbed his right eye, which was a little itchy, and said, "You also know that Lin Shanweng wants us to kill Chen Feng. But based on what we've learned in the past few days, this guy seems to be a good guy.
Judging from the news that Zhuge Gu brought us, the 'good guy' seems to be just his disguise, and there seems to be some unknown action behind it.
So I hope you can go to Chen Fengfu and do some research. There are three requirements, one is to observe Chen Feng's movements and know what abnormal behaviors he has every day; The second is to see who he has the closest contact with. As for the third point......"
Tang Ye stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although I am not worried about your safety, I am worried about the safety of others." Unless you are forced to do so, you must not kill. Even if it hurts people, it's better not to do it, otherwise it will startle the snake. ”
"Beyond understanding!"
After Yang Ke finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Ye:
"It's time for lunch, let's have a meal and then go."
Yang Ke turned his head and looked at the gentle smile on Tang Ye's face, his heart moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little......
After lunch, Yank left in a hurry.
Tang Ye lay on the bed, closing his eyes and adjusting his personal state.
He wanted to see what level of character this Zhuge Gu was:
Zhuge Gu (Xuanzong) (Level: 2, Ambition Required: 200) (Loyalty: ??? )”
Pillowed his arm, looking at Zhuge Gu's current level, Tang Ye was not surprised.
Level 2, quite in line with Zhuge Xuanzong's current state.
It's just that Wen Jiang is different from military generals, and Wen Jiang can't more intuitively reflect the strength represented by the rank. Therefore, what is the strength of this level 2 Zhuge Gu, we can only look at the future performance for the time being.
Although he was not too sleepy, Tang Ye still slept soundly for half an hour, then got up and went to the street to start wandering.
