Chapter 23: Layout Planning!
The next day, after the news of the assassination of Chu Feng, the general of Chu State, in the General's Mansion came out, the entire Chu State was in an uproar, causing an uproar.
"Damn, these Assassins are so damning!"
"Hmph, you don't have to guess to know, it must have been sent by the Chinese, I didn't expect them to be so despicable and shameless, they dared to secretly send someone to assassinate our general!"
"Don't let Lao Tzu touch them, if you let Lao Tzu meet them, Lao Tzu will definitely not spare them!"
"Damn, it's just a bunch of sinister villains......"
Walking on the street in the direction of the city gate of Chu State, there were many faint voices of righteous indignation around him, which continued to flow into the ears of Xu Chuan and Chen Xiaoke.
Hearing this scolding, Xu Chuan and Chen Xiaoke couldn't help but smile at each other.
It's just that instead of taking these scoldings to heart, the two continued to go to the direction of the city gate to find out.
After walking a few steps, the two of them saw the gate in front of them, half-open and half-closed.
And there are dozens of Chu troops, which are strictly guarded here.
The long stream of people out of the city had gathered together, but no one could go out of the city except for people who could enter through the city gates.
Looking at that posture, it is obvious that 'only allowed to enter, not to go out!' β
"Sure enough, as His Majesty said, they have stepped up their investigation since last night, but they are afraid of ...... I can't get out for a while. β
Chen Xiaoke whispered in Xu Chuan's ear, then slightly frowned like a sword, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?" β
"It's okay, just walk around and wait quietly." Xu Chuan smiled indifferently, glanced at it, put his hands behind his back, and turned back.
Chen Xiaoke nodded and followed Xu Chuan back.
Along the way, Xu Chuan took Chen Xiaoke around shopping, while secretly observing the situation in the city.
After wandering around the city for a long time, Xu Chuan found that not only the main gate, but also the other two partial city gates, there were dozens of guards guarding them.
It is also a strategy of 'only allowing people to enter, not to let people out'.
"It seems that Chu Jun wants to fish tightly......" Xu Chuan laughed secretly in his heart, "However, with such means, he also wants to trap me, and he thinks that I am too naΓ―ve!" β
As Xu Chuan expected in his heart, once Chu Feng died, the Chu army would definitely strictly control the city gate and not let anyone out of the city.
What's more, this is a tense period when China and Chu are at war.
It is understandable that the people of Chu will do this.
But with this means alone, how can Xu Chuan be stopped?
Chen Xiaoke, who was following Xu Chuan's side, didn't say a word, but looking at the smile on the corner of Xu Chuan's mouth, she knew that Xu Chuan must have already had an idea in his heart.
"Your Majesty, how do you think of getting out of the city?" Chen Xiaoke said curiously.
"Hmm." Xu Chuan nodded, did not say it directly, but smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War?" β
The Art of War? Chen Xiaoke was inexplicably stunned.
It's already at this time, what else is Sun Tzu's Art of War talking about? Could this also have something to do with Sun Tzu's Art of War?
Chen Xiaoke was a little surprised and puzzled in his heart.
"The concubine knows a little bit about it." Chen Xiaoke didn't lie, and asked with a puzzled wink, "The concubine is unknown, please tell Your Majesty in detail." β
"Striking the West and sowing discord!"
It was a simple eight words, and it was gently spit out from Xu Chuan's mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Striking the West and sowing discord? After chanting these eight words softly on his lips for a while, Chen Xiaoke suddenly became stunned.
Since the Chu army has only allowed people to enter and not to let people out, then next, it will inevitably strictly investigate the people who have entered the city today.
Maybe...... Those who will enter the city in the next few days will be arrested and closed first.
At this time, once they return to the inn, they will inevitably fall into the net.
Only by finding an opportunity to strike at the west, and then sow discord, and actively interfere with the sight and attention of the Chu army, can we find an opportunity to leave this place.
"The concubine understands, Your Majesty." Chen Xiaoke nodded and smiled, "The concubine knows what to do." β
Chen Xiaoke's heart was also really shocked.
Although she and Xu Chuan are both extraordinary in martial arts, they can break through, but their two fists are hard to beat with four hands.
What's more, it is now in the territory of the Chu State.
They must not act rashly.
Otherwise, you will lose everything!
Xu Chuan didn't say anything else, just nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "This is what can be taught..."
Xu Chuan suddenly discovered that Chen Xiaoke was not only powerful in kung fu, but also since the two of them had a similar mind, she even reacted quite quickly.
It was indeed a wise choice to come to assassinate her with her.
"Let's go, let's go separately and make some trouble for them first." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Xu Chuan's mouth, and he walked towards a group of Korean caravans.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Xiaoke then went elsewhere.
In front of Han Shang of the 20-person team.
One by one, the people of the Korean caravan clenched their fists and clenched their fists, their faces full of anger.
"Third master, if we can't get out of the city today, I'm afraid that this business will be scrapped!"
"Yes, third master, this is all our belongings......"
"This Chu people are too hateful, even we Koreans are not allowed to go out, isn't it just that Chu Feng is dead, who can blame this? It's not that they themselves are not strong enough and have been assassinated! β
"Damn ......!"
Waves of complaints and anger continued to come out, and everyone looked at a middle-aged man in the caravan.
The middle-aged man who was called the 'third master' also frowned, and secretly gritted his teeth in anger.
"Everyone, calm down, don't panic yet!" Zhu Sanye raised his hand and pressed it, and everyone no longer complained, but all quieted down and listened to Zhu Sanye's instructions, "Wait for me to find the Chu army Taishou and ask them for an explanation!" β
At this moment, Xu Chuan came towards the caravan.
"Zhu Sanye, please stay!"
Xu Chuan's voice came, and Zhu Sanye, who had just raised his foot, stopped his steps, turned his head with everyone, and looked at Xu Chuan.
"Who are you?" Zhu Sanye didn't speak, someone in the team had already asked.
"Hehe, in the Xia Ji family's shop, Ji Yuan Feng." Xu Chuan smiled at each other.
Epoch seal?
Not only Zhu Sanye's cheeks were stunned, but the others were also full of woodenness.
They had heard of the Ji family's shop, but Ji Yuan sealed this person, but they had never heard of it or heard of it.
I only know that the 'Ji family shop' was opened by merchants of Chu State, but the scale is not large.
And they have always had no contact with their caravans.
What did he do here?
Zhu Sanye was stunned, looked at Xu Chuan with a self-determined face, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency why you came?" β
"Ji wants to talk about a business with the third master." Xu Chuan didn't beat around the bush, bowed his hand, and said with a smile, "Now that General Chu Feng has been killed, I am afraid that this city gate will not be able to be opened for a while, and the third master will ...... this business."
Xu Chuan didn't finish speaking, but stopped his voice, with a smile on his face like the wind.
"What do you mean!" Zhu Sanye stared at Xu Chuan.
