Chapter Seventy-One: Free Laborers
Meng Rang Lao'er is here? At this time, he was a mile away from Nanfuzhou, waiting for Zhao Chen to go over to see him.
The guy who sent the letter to Zhao Chen was still the one who took him and Hou Yong to see Meng Rang that day.
Zhao Chen stood in the school palace, across a big lake, looking at the vulture man on the other side of the lake from a distance, looked down at the note in his hand again, the corners of his mouth skimmed slightly, and then tore the note little by little.
"Brother Chen, do you want to bring someone over, just serve it in one pot!" Cheng Chumo, who was with Zhao Chen just now, was also by Zhao Chen's side at this time, looking at the figure of the vulture man on the other side of the lake from a distance, and said.
"No!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he turned his head and smiled at Cheng Chumo, and said, "I have my own way to make Meng Rang'er live as well as die, there is no need to provoke them for the time being!" ”
Nanfu is Zhao Chen's territory, but this Meng Rang Lao'er really came without fear, and he was not afraid of Zhao Chen at all, and he was broken into thousands of pieces.
This can only show that this old guy is either a complete madman, or he has some tricks that can make Zhao Chen throw a rat bogey.
"Don't move here, I'll meet him by myself!" Tearing up the note little by little, Zhao Chen dropped a sentence to Cheng Chumo and walked towards the outside of the lake island.
"Let's take Hou Yong with you!" Zhao Chen said that he would leave, but Cheng Chumo didn't have time to stop him, and seeing Zhao Chen go away, Cheng Chumo behind him suddenly shouted loudly.
"No need!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's voice behind him, Zhao Chen, who had already stepped out of the gate with his front foot, waved his hand at Cheng Chumo without looking back. Said.
Hou Yong, this kid, has practiced guns since he was a child, and his skills are quite good. Zhao Chen took Hou Yong to see Meng Rang Lao'er last time.
However, since the last time I came back, I was probably frightened by the conversation between Meng Rang Lao'er and Zhao Chen, and it looked like he had to flee Nanfuzhou anytime and anywhere.
Zhao Chen estimated that if he didn't send a telegram to Li Er later. Tell Hou Yong that this kid is probably gone long ago at this time.
Again. After the last incident, it was proved that in the face of a character like Meng Rang, in fact, with or without Hou Yong. It's all the same.
"Hello Master Hou!" Coming down from the lake island. The vulture man was already waiting on the shore, and when Zhao Chen got off the boat, the vulture man suddenly bent down slightly at Zhao Chen, and his attitude was a 180-degree turn compared to last time.
"Lead the way!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he didn't even look at the vulture man, he had already turned around and walked forward, and said without looking back.
Heard Zhao Chen's instructions. The vulture man silently looked at Zhao Chen's back and bowed slightly. Then, he quickly walked to the front and led Zhao Chen towards the outside of Nanfuzhou.
It was still the same road as the last time, Zhao Chen followed behind the vulture man, and the two of them hurried silently, and after a while, they came to a hill.
Before he reached the hill, Zhao Chen saw from a distance that a pergola had been temporarily built on the hill, and in the pergola, Meng Rang Lao'er was still wearing a cheesy brocade robe, lying on a chair, looking at Zhao Chen from afar.
"Here, it's a stone's throw away from Nanfuzhou, and I'm not afraid that Benhou will bring someone over to make dumplings?" Coming up from the hill, before entering the pergola, Zhao Chen looked at Meng Rang Lao'er, who was lying comfortably on the chair, and said.
"The old man has been in the wind and rain for half his life!" Meng Rang Lao'er had a dry face, with a strange smile, and after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he listened to a 'hey', looked at Zhao Chen and said, "How many storms have passed, how can you be afraid of this little battle?" ”
When these words fell, Meng Rang Lao'er looked at Zhao Chen with great interest and asked, "I don't know Zhao Hou, how did you think about it?" ”
Next to Meng Rang Lao'er, there was an empty chair, which was obviously prepared for Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen entered the pergola, and sat down unceremoniously as soon as he lifted his robe.
After hearing Meng Rang Lao'er's words, Zhao Chen suddenly turned his head, looked at Meng Rang Lao'er with an indifferent look, and said, "Rebellion? ”
"Or else?" Meng asked Lao Er to sit up straight, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "It's been many days, Zhao Hou should also think about it, right?" ”
"Huh!" Hearing Meng Rang Lao'er's words, Zhao Chen suddenly pouted and smiled, looked at the city of Nanfuzhou in the distance, and suddenly said: "Ben Hou hid about 100,000 horses in that city, do you believe it?" ”
“… What do you mean? Meng Rang Lao'er originally looked at Zhao Chen, expecting Zhao Chen to answer his words, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would suddenly say such a clueless sentence, and immediately frowned slightly, and asked puzzled.
"It's not interesting!" Zhao Chen withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at Meng Rang Lao'er again and said, "Just ask you, do you believe it?" Ben Hou hid 100,000 horses in that city! ”
"The old man is not a three-year-old child, so naturally he doesn't believe such nonsense!" Meng Rang Lao'er didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Chen's words for a while, and after hearing this, he groaned slightly, then looked at Zhao Chen and said with a disdainful face.
"That's it!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he leaned back slightly, looked at Meng Rang Lao'er beside him and said: "Ben Hou is not a three-year-old child, why do you say a word, Ben Hou has to believe you!" ”
“… Hehehe, it turns out that Zhao Hou said this! Meng asked Lao Er to think that he thought what Zhao Chen meant, but as a result, when he heard Zhao Chen's words at this time, he immediately chuckled, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Zhao Hou suspects the power of the old man, that is also reasonable, but the old man really doesn't know how to prove this matter to Zhao Hou!" ”
"Then there is no way!" Zhao Chen, who was lying there, heard Meng Rang Lao'er's words, and immediately spread his hands helplessly, looked at Meng Rang Lao'er and said: "You can't believe you in everything because of your words!" ”
"What does Zhao Hou mean?" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Meng Rang Lao'er suddenly frowned slightly, his eyes began to look at Zhao Chen with some coldness, and asked in a deep voice.
"That's what you need to think about!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he met Meng Rang Lao'er's somewhat cold gaze, and said: "What's more, there are a lot of things in Lingnan now, and Ben Hou is very busy next, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to other things!" ”
"Feng An?" Meng Rang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, hearing Zhao Chen's words. Leaning back slightly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, he looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
Listen to the meaning of Meng Rang Lao'er's words. Obviously, he didn't take Feng Ang in his eyes at all!
"Not only Feng An, but also the remnants of Feng Huo and the Ning brothers!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he met Meng Rang Lao'er's gaze and said meaningfully: "Since they don't want to die, then Ben Hou will simply fulfill their wish to die!" ”
"Didn't Zhao Hou already drive them into the mountains!" Meng Rang Lao'er heard Zhao Chen's words, and the expression on his face did not change at all. As if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, he looked at Zhao Chen. He asked meaningfully: "Could it be that Zhao Hou still wants to eat the whole of Lingnan?" ”
"Shame on wasting!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he leaned back on his chair and looked at Nanfuzhou in the distance. sighed without looking back: "The fat meat that people sent to the door." If you don't eat it, it's a bit unreasonable! ”
“… Uh, interesting! Hearing Zhao Chen's strange exclamation, the expression on Meng Rang Lao'er's face first condensed slightly, and then looked at Zhao Chen, and suddenly couldn't stop laughing: "It's shameful to waste, and heaven is intolerable." Interesting, really interesting! ”
"And!" Listening to Meng let Lao Er open his mouth and laugh. Zhao Chenfu sighed again, turned his head to look at Meng Rang Lao'er and said, "Yesterday I had 4,000 men and horses, and I just came from Chang'an, you must already know about this matter, right?" ”
“… Listen to my subordinates! When Meng Rang Lao'er heard this, he stopped laughing, looked at Zhao Chen with strange eyes, and said, "That's your people?" If the old man is not mistaken, it is the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty, right? ”
"Is there a difference?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at Meng Rang Lao'er and said: "Here in Lingnan, they only listen to Ben Hou's orders, and Ben Hou orders them to kill Lingnan completely, and they will not hesitate to execute!" ”
“… Can you stay? Hearing Zhao Chen's confident words, Meng Rang Lao'er's eyes suddenly flashed a different color, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "If you can leave all these horses in Lingnan, it will be a big help!" ”
"Neurotic!" Hearing Meng Rang Lao'er's words of a fool's dream, Zhao Chen suddenly scolded in his heart.
In fact, he had already discovered that Meng Rang, the old guy, as long as he didn't talk about rebellion, his head was normal, but as long as the topic involved rebellion, he would immediately become unreasonable.
I can't say that kind of feeling, anyway, I feel that as long as Meng Rang Lao'er is involved in rebellion, it will immediately be like schizophrenia, and people who are originally clear-minded will become delusional.
"That's not the point!" Zhao Chen finally suppressed the strong urge to scold in his heart, looked at Meng Rang Lao'er and said: "What Ben Hou wants to say is that when Ben Hou's 4,000 men and horses crossed Meiling, they almost lost their lives in Meiling, and the whole army was wiped out!" ”
"What does Zhao Hou want to say?" When Meng Rang Lao'er heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Chen and asked suspiciously.
"Open up the plank road!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he said without hesitation: "No matter what, the Meiling plank road must be opened as soon as possible, otherwise, Lingnan is trapped in this group of mountains, and there is really no sense of security!" ”
When these words fell, without waiting for Meng Rang to speak, Zhao Chenfu said meaningfully: "Now, there is Meiling in the middle, and many things can only be transported by water, in case the waterway is not accessible one day, then there is no hope at all!" ”
When he said this, Zhao Chen's eyes kept staring at Meng Rang Lao'er, at first, Meng Rang Lao'er, but he didn't react for a while, the meaning of Zhao Chen's words.
But when Zhao Chen said that the waterway would not be open one day, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head, and he reacted suddenly: "What Zhao Hou meant, could it be..."
"Ben Hou didn't say anything!" Listening to Meng Rang Lao'er's hesitant words, Zhao Chen didn't wait for Meng Rang Lao'er, finished speaking, and preemptively interrupted Meng Rang Lao'er's words, and said with an innocent face.
"Hehe, in this way, the Meiling plank road can't be repaired!" Meng Rang Lao'er, when he heard Zhao Chen's words, suddenly showed a look of understanding, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "But I don't know, how long can Zhao Hou cultivate?" ”
"It's hard to say!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at Meng Rang Lao'er and said: "The matter of Meiling Plank Road, Ben Hou must solve other things in Lingnan before he can pay attention to it, otherwise, there will be not enough manpower at all!" ”
"Manpower matters, the old man will figure it out!" When Meng Rang heard this, he suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with confidence and said: "Zhao Hou is only responsible, just order specific things!" ”
"......" Hearing Meng Rang Lao'er's sworn assurance, Zhao Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and when he looked at Meng Rang's old child, he looked hesitant, and after a long time, it seemed to have made up his mind, and he reluctantly looked at Meng Rang Lao'er and said, "Okay then!"
