Chapter 935: Stand-in
"Okay."
While Liu Lan nodded in response, he shouted outside the room, "Zhongkang, you come in." After saying that, Chen Deng saw the two of them walking in from outside the house, and after the two of them saw each other, they stood aside, but Chen Deng was stunned in front of him, because what he saw at this time was a person with the same appearance as Liu Lan, and the two of them stood together, Mo said that he couldn't tell the difference, that is, the people who often served around Liu Lan, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
"Yuanlong may be able to tell the truth from the fake?" Liu Lan said with a smile.
"Like, it's too similar, if it weren't for the different clothes, it wouldn't be able to tell which one is Derangong, I really didn't expect that there would be two people who are so similar in this world."
"So, doesn't that mean you can confuse the real with the fake?" Liu Lan smiled mysteriously.
Liu Lan's words immediately made Chen Deng smell the danger, and he screamed in his heart, but he pretended to be incomprehensible and asked, "Deran Gong wants this?" β
Liu Lan didn't pay attention to Chen Deng, with his ingenuity, he wouldn't have guessed? Turning to Xu Chu and said: "There is something that you need to go, and then take the three thousand guards away, disguise yourself as the Chen family, and blend into Xuzhou City." β
"The lord is going to Xuzhou?" It happened suddenly, Xu Chu said uncertainly.
"Yes." Liu Lan smiled mysteriously, glanced at Chen Qun, and although he sneered in his heart, his face was burning and said, "But it's not." β
Xu Chu didn't understand what the lord meant, he looked puzzled, looking at his dazed and bewildered expression, Liu Lan laughed, and said, "You have to go to Xuzhou with this 'me' who can be fake." β
Xu Chu's eyes lit up, and he immediately promised.
Liu Lan nodded and took out the bag from his sleeve. handed it to Xu Chu, and said in his ear: "These two tips." The former one was dismantled when he went to see Tao Qian, and the other looked at it after he saw it. After saying that, I still didn't feel at ease. He also said: "If you go to Xuzhou and listen to Mi Zhu, he will arrange everything properly." β
Xu Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Zhongkang will not let the lord down." β
"Okay." Liu Lan laughed, and saw Chen Deng on the side looking at him in shock and said, "Is it difficult for morality to go to Xuzhou with me in person?" β
"Yes."
"But if Tao Xuzhou can't see Deran Gong, I'm only afraid of the tiger talisman ......"
"Don't worry, I've got my own plans." Liu Lan said with a deep smile.
Since this is the case, it is not easy for Yuanlong to persist anymore, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but he smiled bitterly in his heart This trick of stealing beams and changing pillars is really ingenious. It seems that this person is really underestimated.
After Chen Deng retreated, Liu Lan called Guan Yu to confess, and then said goodbye to Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen's two daughters, and then went to look for Xu Chu, and after seeing Xu Chu, he asked with a smile: "Zhongkang, how are you preparing?" β
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and said, "I didn't expect that you, the fake lord, would learn the appearance of the lord so well." β
Liu Lan had a straight face. said: "Zhongkang, take a closer look, am I true or false?" β
Xu Chu hurriedly looked Liu Lan up and down again, just for a moment to hurriedly salute. Said: "Lord, why are you here in person?" Didn't you want that fake person to go to Xuzhou with Zhongkang? β
After Liu Lan made a silent gesture, he said in a low voice: "I changed my mind again temporarily." He was told to say, "Remember." This is known only to you and should not be mentioned to anyone. Especially which Chen Deng. β
"Zhongkang understood." Xu Chu answered, but still asked the doubts in his heart. Said: "But why did the lord do this? Let go of the Chen family, but shouldn't the lord be trusted? β
"Where is Tao Xuzhou, I have to go to see it in person, but if I wait for the people from Tao Xuzhou to come in person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter Xuzhou City. As for the Chen family, although I use them, I don't trust them, so today is just to confuse Chen Yuanlong. β
"I see."
Liu Lan said: "Okay, let's go quickly." "But in my heart, I had to do it as a last resort, after all, there is an inner ghost around me, so why not use it a little? He believed that as long as he left Xiao Pei with his front foot, his back foot would be known to the pottery merchant, so that it would be easier for me to get close to Tao Qian, and if he bluntly said that he went to Xuzhou at the beginning, I am afraid that this Xuzhou city would become his burial place. β
Liu Lan entered Ziche, at this time, no one would think that he was the real Liu Lan, only thought that he was a stand-in, but only Guan Yu and other henchmen knew that the real lord had already set off for Xuzhou.
Chen Deng and Xu Chu rode beside the carriage, and behind them were 3,000 Liu Lan's personal guards dressed as family members, and the group hurried to the city gate before the city gate of Xuzhou City closed on the second day.
Xuzhou City has been investigated very harshly recently, that is, Chen Deng went up to say that he also checked the people one by one, when the guard lifted the curtain, he didn't care about Liu Lan's appearance clearly, this pawn had not seen Liu Lan, naturally he didn't know who this person was, but in his heart he inevitably thought that this person didn't know what was sacred, and even Captain Chen could only accompany him on the side, and he couldn't get into the car.
The carriage started again, slowly drove into the city of Xuzhou, and when the group of people entered the city for a moment, it was a fast horse rushed into the city of Xuzhou, disappeared into the night, and then the gate of Xuzhou City slowly closed, the night has shrouded the entire Xuzhou City, but this night is destined to be an undercurrent, and how many people will have no intention of sleeping.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and there are only Chen's father and son in the quiet space, Chen Qi stands with his hands in his hands, standing in front of the window and staring at the bright moon outside the window, contemplative. Liu Lan's temporary uprising changed the established plan, so that Chen Qi completely lost the opportunity to control him, and the result was not unexpected, but still in his expectations. He had never underestimated Liu Lan, who was both a friend and an enemy, but until this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, maybe Liu Lan was more powerful than he imagined.
He thought that through this series of calculations, he could completely control Liu Lan in the palm of his hand, but unfortunately it backfired, Liu Lan was a chess player, so that he had to cancel all the plans, the development of the situation made him feel a little powerless, and Liu Lan's plan to steal the beam and change the pillar caught him off guard, and he couldn't do anything to the stand-in. If you do that, you will only lose your entire family.
He had already calculated it, as long as he acted carefully. At that time, control Liu Lan or get rid of Liu Lan, and transfer it to the Danyang army. With his understanding of Liu Lan, the die-hard reaction of his subordinates would definitely come to Cao Bao for revenge, and with the strength of the troops almost equal, it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Pei's troops to capture Xuzhou City.
At that time, it would be best if Danyang Army and Liu Lanyu could fight to defeat both, if not, but no matter who on both sides won in the end, the final winners would definitely be him and the Chen family, with his prestige in Xuzhou, if this situation was really successful. He Chen Qi only needs to raise his arms and exhale, and he will be ninety percent sure that he will completely control Xuzhou.
When he changed his plan, not deciding to support Liu Lan but using him, when he worked hard for a long time, and the probability of failure was a few pounds to zero, he got such a piece of news, and the mood of getting up early was like being doused by a basin of cold water, and at this moment, he only lost his voice and smiled bitterly: "The plan is in the people." Success is in the sky, success is in the sky. He regretted again and again, and said: "I can't complain about anyone, I can't complain about anyone." I only complained that the old man was too naΓ―ve and lucky. In the end, that trace of loneliness has long filled my heart.
Chen Deng looked at his father's slightly rickety back. With a long sigh, he said, "Actually, why is my father so troubled?" At this point, my father lamented again. It's better to plan ahead. β
"Planning?"
He looked at Chen Deng and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for the marriage between the Mi family and Liu Lan, how could I have come up with this strategy!" If Liu Lan is in charge of Xuzhou, he will naturally reuse the Mi family, and let my Chen family be the second to the Mi family, how can this be in line with the interests of my Chen family? Let him introduce a businessman to suppress my Chen family? β
Although Chen Jue was unwilling, he still canceled the plan, which means that he has acquiesced to the reality that he is a low-level family.
Chen Deng came behind Chen Qi and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, this matter is careful and hidden, Liu Lan doesn't know anything, so it's not too late for my father to cancel the action at this time, and then my Chen family still has a pivotal position in Xuzhou, that is, what does it matter if the Mi family is stable, as my father often says, the rafters at the beginning are rotten first, and it may not be his Mi family who can laugh last in the future." β
Chen Qi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed: "What you said is right, but my father is a little short-sighted." Looking at Chen Deng, he said seriously, "Through this matter, my father finally understands the biggest difference between a hero and a puppet." β
Chen Deng said without thinking: "Naturally, the heroes will not be controlled by people like puppets. β
Chen Jue slowly turned around, looked at Chen Deng, and said, "You only say one thing, although the biggest difference between a hero and a puppet is that the idea of a hero can be put into practice and is not at the mercy of others. And even if the puppet has an idea in his heart, it will not be able to realize it. β
There was a trace of helplessness in his heart, Liu Lan's previous 'obedience' made Chen Qi think that he was just a reckless husband and could be controlled at will, but when it really came to the critical moment, Chen Qi found that it was not him Liu Lan who had been at the mercy, but the entire Chen family, and the Chen family was played by him Liu Lan, and he acted as the vanguard of his stay in Xuzhou, which made him not have a sense of absurdity.
I was stupid enough to think I could play with him and applaud. Chen Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head slightly and walked to Chen Deng's side and whispered, "Do you know what he is now?" Chen Deng was about to speak, but found that his father had already asked himself and said on the side: "The current Liu Lan is like a trapped dragon trapped in the quagmire, and Xuzhou is a pool of living water, when the trapped dragon has living water, it will eventually be the time when he ascends to heaven." At the end, there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his tone, but it was also like a hint of excitement.
"Although this is the case, Xuzhou is the land of four wars, and it is unknown who belongs at that time." Chen Deng looked at his father Chen Qi's side face and said, only to see his forehead prominent, obviously recently seriously lacking sleep, and where can he still find a wisp of black silk in his sideburns, his father is really old, he looked away from this matter, and he is even more blind, the Chen family has no capital to fight for Xuzhou, but his father is stubborn, although in the end because Liu Lan did not make the trip at zero time, when in his heart this may be a great luck, after many years, Chen Deng is even more convinced of this, Of course, at this time, he didn't know whether to be happy or resentful, because when he learned that Liu Lan would not come to Xuzhou, he didn't even notice it, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes at that time. Don't forget, once upon a time, in Chen Deng's heart, Liu Lan was his carefully selected opponent!
But his opponent's sudden change of itinerary made his horizons suddenly become extraordinarily broad and even more long-term, although Xuzhou is temporarily Liu Lan and the potter are fighting, no matter which of the two of them has the last laugh, can it be later? It will be the two of them or someone else who can have the last laugh. Many names flashed in Chen Deng's heart, the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, and even him. At this moment, Chen Deng suddenly heard his father Chen Qi speak, and said, "My father is very willing to gamble with you." Chen Qi said and laughed at the same time, but he thought of something, looked at Chen Deng, and said, "Has this fake Liu Lan slept?" β
Chen Deng looked at the night outside the window and said, "It's already a watchday, it's time to rest." β
Chen Qi didn't seem to hear what Chen Deng said again, and the thoughts that flashed in his mind before immediately generated a clever plan in his heart, and at this time, he was pacing back and forth in the room, thinking about how to implement it, and suddenly Chen Qi, who was blessed to the heart, stopped, and even his voice was trilling, and said: "You say, if we control the fake Liu Lan, if we can steal the beam and change the pillar at that time, how likely will you be to succeed?" β
Chen Deng was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect his father to give up yet, and at this time he came up with such a bold plan, shook his head slightly, and said: "First, if my father really wants to do this, he must first understand the origin of this person, and know whether his relationship with Liu Lan is close or there is a gap. Chen Deng thought for a while and continued to add: "If this person can't be controlled or tempted, if it can be controlled, the person who contacts can neither be the child and the father, nor can it be the person of my Chen family, so it is the best strategy, otherwise the slightest mistake will put the Chen family in danger." β
"It's really a three-point shot." Chen Qi looked at Chen Deng with a smile, very satisfied with what he said just now, and saw that he was still eager to try at this time, so he smiled and said, "What else do you think?" Go on. β
"There is also the fact that Xu Chu has been following him closely, if his father wants to control this fake Liu Lan, he must first separate this person, but the key is that he will never let strangers easily approach the fake Liu Lan."
Chen Deng no longer had any thoughts in his heart, but he had to say the consequences and the aggravation: "The third is because whether this matter can be successful is only five or five, and it is not in the interests of the Chen family, so it is better for my father to dispel this idea."
Chen Jue was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Chen Deng was persuading himself after talking for a long time, and he was satisfied that his son had shown such an experienced side, and said: "The Chen family will never do it if they are not eighty percent sure, although they are cautious, but after all, only this is the long-term solution, and although the benefits of this matter are very large, the risks that come with it are also very large, so let's give up." β
After Chen Qi completely let go, he looked at this matter very clearly, not to mention how to deal with the real Liu Lan; The plan to replace Tao Zhuang is to control his minions, which is also even more difficult, and if the opportunity is revealed, the Chen family will really be doomed.
No longer thinking about these unrealistic things, Chen Qi looked at Chen Deng and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's rest early." So saying, he walked out of the house.
Just walked a few steps, but suddenly stood in place, turned around and asked, "By the way, when will Liu Lan arrive?" β
"Calculate the itinerary, that is, these are two days." Chen Deng followed behind Chen Jue, stopped at a distance from Chen Jue, and said.
"He's going to meet with Tao Qian, I'm going to see if he can take Xuzhou without risk." At the end of the conversation, a hint of an intriguing smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and the arc became higher and higher, and finally he laughed out loud.
"The child is also waiting to see."
Chen Deng heard his father laugh loudly, and also smiled: "But I want to know more about how the Tao Chamber of Commerce will respond." (To be continued.) )
