Chapter 292: Misfortune Doesn't Go One Way (1)
"Hehe, Lin Lao, this is a little bit of my heart, and I ask you to postpone everything!" At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, in a dark room, only a little copper finch lamp flickered there, Zhang Yang licked a smiling face, let his subordinates bring a box, and then put it in front of Lin Lao, open it and see, it was all bright gold.
Lin Lao didn't say anything, just accepted it with a smile on his face, and then Zhang Yang took his men to meet Meng Lao, and Meng Lao's actions were similar to Lin Lao's acceptance of the money.
In the end, Zhang Yang and the others went to find Zhou Lao again, and it was not until an hour later that Zhang Yang finished all the matters at hand, and he and Zheng Gu and the others walked out of the mansion and took a deep breath of the outside air.
The Su Gu next to him couldn't help but say to Zhang Yang: "Lord, now Lin Lao and Meng Lao have received your money, although Zhou Lao's attitude is a little unclear and he has not accepted your money, but no matter what this old guy thinks in his heart, anyway, with Lin Lao and Meng Lao supporting you, your position as a state pastor should also be ironclad, and when the time comes, as long as you ascend to the position of the state pastor, the first one will solve Cao Xing!" ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Gu also deliberately made a posture of wiping his neck, Zhang Yang glanced at Zheng Gu, who was born in a family in Shangtang, and there is quite a lot of family power in the family.
Since the death of Ding Yuan, this Zhenggu has moved closer to Zhang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, after all, the acting assassin Shi identified by Ding Yuan is his Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang has no objection, Zhang Yang was born in a humble manner, and his current achievements are all spelled out by him on the battlefield one after another.
In the past, when Ding Yuan was still there, he didn't need to pay attention to so much, anyway, he only needed to follow Ding Yuan, but now that Ding Yuan is gone, he wants to manage things independently, so he must win over these families and think it is for his own use.
So according to the current situation, he can almost be regarded as a family, and now he is holding this so-called election, in fact, it is also the idea given to him by these families, just to defeat Cao Xing and regain control of the entire state.
Zhang Yang touched his beard as he walked, although what he said was exactly what he was thinking, but then again, he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
Before leaving, Meng Lao once said something to Zhang Yang: "You are not the only one who wants to get the position of the state pastor, the most important thing is that I can also see that Cao Xing, that is a wolf ambition, even if he does not get the position of the state pastor, but do you think he will obediently listen to you!" ”
Meng Lao's words undoubtedly conveyed two meanings like Zhang Yang, that is, the county guards from other places have more or less come to them, and they have done the same thing as Zhang Yang.
This is also a very normal thing, after all, Zhang Yang's banner is fair competition, and his position as the acting assassin is not right, and there are many county guards who do not obey his orders.
But now there is an opportunity in front of everyone, who doesn't want to go farther, so everyone is a competitor at the moment, but for these county guards, Zhang Yang does not pay attention to them, because the strength of these county guards is still one room worse than him, he doesn't need to worry, the only thing he is worried about is Meng Lao's last sentence.
This is a troubled era, there are soldiers who are the king of grass, since the advent of Cao Xing has given Zhang Yang quite a headache, Cao Xing's series of policies listed, a series of technologies developed, so that his eyesight has grown rapidly, anyway, Zhang Yang and Cao Xing have fought a few times, he has to admit a problem, he is not Cao Xing's opponent.
So a very critical question is highlighted, even if Cao Xuan is not recognized by the three elders and does not get the position of the state pastor, will he Cao Xuan be obedient? This is a troubled time, who cares so much about you?
Thinking of this, a fierce color flashed in Zhang Yang's eyes, he looked back at Su Gu and said: "No, now that Cao Xingken is here, it is a godsend, our trip is not just to compete for the position of the state pastor, there is also a target is him, do you understand!" ”
When he heard this, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately understood it, and a deep murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Since then, in this inconspicuous county, it can be said that the world is surging, for no other reason, because here will be elected to merge the state pastor, but the selection of the state pastor is very important, as long as the people who are qualified to participate in the selection of the state pastor, are actively preparing for the war at the moment.
There are many county guards who follow Zhang Yang's example, constantly running to the residence of the three elders, in exchange for the support of the three of them, but some people have come up with a more shady way.
Instead of asking the three elders for help, but those three people are all old and refined characters, what they are thinking in their hearts, who they support, this matter may only be known best in their hearts, and everyone else does not know.
Instead of guessing what was going on in the minds of the three of them every day. It's better to look directly at your competitors. If his competitor suddenly evaporates from the world, then won't the position of this merger state assassin fall right on his head?
Although it was a democratic election on the surface, it evolved into the major county guards, fighting each other, and the entire county was no longer an undercurrent, but a real work with open swords and guns. And at this time, the advantages of the guards brought by these county guards were also fully highlighted. These things happened in this county, and there is no doubt that they have seriously affected the security in this county, but because of the special people affected, the local county magistrates and others also turned a blind eye and didn't dare to care about it at all.
However, if it is said that among these county guards, who is the most embarrassed, it is undoubtedly Cao Xing, on this day, Cao Xing was walking on the street, but he was attacked by a group of ragged people.
Dozens of hooligans and other gangsters rushed out at once, but these people were all armed with blades in their hands, and they didn't want to kill Cao Xing.
Although Cao Xuan said that he had been on the battlefield and had seen blood in battles, but then again, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and no matter how high his kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives.
On the one hand, Cao Xing was seriously hunted down, but on the other hand, Jia Xu, the strategist he brought this time, suddenly became ill at this time.
Cao Xuan hurriedly asked Zhou Cang to invite the doctor, the results of the doctor's diagnosis, Jia Xu's disease, said that the big head is not small, that is, a kind of wind cold, but if it is not well recuperated, the disease will only drag on more and more, and then his life will be in danger.
When Cao Xing heard this, his gaze began to become solemn, the Three Kingdoms period was a period when medical skills were not developed, and now the divine doctor Zhang Ji is not by Cao County's side, so if you have a little cold, you can really kill Jia Xu.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xuan nodded to the doctor, and the doctor also understood what Cao Xuan meant, and immediately grabbed a handful of herbs from his medicine bag, and then continued to dispense medicine for Jia Xu, hoping to temporarily stabilize Jia Xu's condition.
Cao Xuan already had a certain idea in his heart about how to deal with Jia Xu's condition, he couldn't help but look at the doctor's method of rectification, just looking at it, Cao Xuan felt a little wrong, he sniffed his nose vigorously, and in a trance, at the moment when the doctor opened the medical bag. He seemed to see something new.
"Doctor, dare to ask if this is sulfur!" Cao Xuan stepped forward and asked.
And the doctor nodded after hearing this, the smell of sulfur is very strong, so Cao Xing smelled it as soon as he smelled it.
Cao Xing seemed a little puzzled, the doctor was obviously just treating diseases and saving people, why did he bring a bottle of sulfur? The doctor explained that sulfur is also very useful in current medical treatment, such as treating hemorrhoids, acupuncture, etc., all of which require sulfur. Therefore, it seems normal for contemporary doctors to carry it with them.
Listening to the doctor's explanation, Cao Xuan looked at Jia Xu who was lying on the hospital bed again, although Jia Xu's face was pale at the moment, he still nodded to Cao Xuan Cao Xing, so he let down his guard.
It didn't take long for the doctor to complete the configuration of his medicine and hand it over to Cao Xing, but he still told Cao Xuan that Jia Xu could only use medicine as a supplement for this kind of cold, and the main thing was his own rest.
However, after coming back, Cao Xuan first asked Jia Xu to take the medicine, and then immediately beckoned to Hu Che'er, asking him to immediately prepare elite soldiers and a carriage, and he must send Jia Xu back to Bianyun County.
After all, the experience of the past few days still makes Cao Xing vivid, and there are dozens of people carrying knives to cut you at every turn. And Jia Xu is a scribe, where can he withstand such twists and turns. There is a miracle doctor Zhang Ji in Bianyun County, and he believes that Jia Xu's condition will improve in a short time, so it is most necessary to send Jia Xu back.
However, the manpower to escort Jia Xu back was a little exaggerated, Cao Xing not only asked his escort Hu Che'er to escort him personally, but even had already withdrawn most of his troops.
Jia Xu also knows the situation outside, and now Cao Xuan is lacking manpower to protect him, he asked Cao Xuan not to use such a large amount of manpower and material resources, but Cao Xuan shook his head resolutely, Jia Xu's illness is probably because of his Cao Xing's butterfly effect, and Cao Xuan doesn't want to cause any more effects and cause more trouble.
