But after several days, Chen Gong was in the restaurant, and he wanted to see Lin Ran several times, but no one took him into the Assassin's Mansion, and he was stopped by the guards outside the Assassin's Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What do you mean by that?! I am your honored guest of Lord Assassin! Chen Gong was pushed a few times by the guards at the door, and his clothes were made out of some folds, and he felt very embarrassed, and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, no one is allowed to enter the Assassin's Mansion without a token to enter the Assassin's Mansion, this is the order of Lord Assassin."

"Then you pass me a word, just say that Chen Gong in Xuzhou came to visit Lin Tingshi, and asked Lord Tingshi to come out and see him."

"I'm sorry, we're not scouts, we don't have a mission to deliver a message." The guards of the Assassin's Mansion said coldly and unceremoniously.

"You ......" Chen Gong suddenly finished his words, Rao is a lotus flower with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, but in the face of these unruly guards who don't listen to others at all, there is no way at all.

Chen Gong returned to the restaurant with some anger, and after that, several days passed, during which people kept coming to visit him, but no one came to take him to Lin Ran.

Chen Gong understood what kind of attitude Lin Ran's behavior expressed.

"Hey. This Lin Xiaobai is really a little too smart. Knowing that I had prepared a lot of rhetoric to persuade him, he simply didn't give me a chance to speak. It seems that it is impossible to pull him over. ”

Chen Gong, who understood it, knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to pack his bags overnight, and soon said goodbye and left.

Hearing the news that Chen Gong was going to take the initiative to leave, Lin Ran, who had been refusing to show up, suddenly appeared in front of Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was stepping on a ferry boat on the bank of the Yangtze River with one foot, when suddenly, hundreds of Xuanjia cavalry rushed over and stopped the boatman.

"Sir, why did you leave Yangzhou in a hurry? Is it because of the poor hospitality of his subordinates? Today's official business is busy, and I haven't had a chance to have a long talk with my husband. Lin Ran rode a war horse in front, went straight to the front of Chen Gong, and dismounted.

This Lin Thorn History is a person with a heart...... Chen Gong bowed his hand to Lin Ran and said, "It's really busy with official business, so I have to leave." Chen Gong knew Lin Ran's true intentions, so he no longer told Lin Ran about the alliance.

"Since it's official business, then it's inconvenient for me to keep it." Lin Ran nodded, clapped his hands to the cavalry behind him, the cavalry dismounted one after another, and took down a large number of things brought by the war horse, everyone was holding a full amount of belongings, Lin Ran asked him to send it into the ferry, and after a while, the ferry was actually sunk a few centimeters by these belongings.

"Lin Tingshi, what are you?" Chen Gong waved his hand to Lin Ran again and again: "This can't be helped. This is too heavy. ”

Lin Ran took Chen Gong's hand, looked at Chen Gong, and said to Chen Gong with some worry flashing in his eyes: "Brother Gongtai, do you believe in fate?" ”

Chen Gong was stunned, looked at Lin Ran a little strangely, thought for a while, and after a long time, Chen Gong said slowly: "The life and death fortune set by God is something that we mortals can't avoid. If bad luck befalls me one day, I can only face it calmly. ”

"Sir." Lin Ran looked at Chen Gong and said, "Mr. is about to usher in a fateful catastrophe, if Mr. is willing to believe my words, then please Mr. promise me one thing." I sent all these belongings to a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou City, and my agents told me that this wealthy merchant had secretly built a secret passage under Xuzhou City in the early years, so that people could escape in times of crisis. Through these huge sums of money, the gentleman can open up the tongue of their family and find out the location and information of this secret passage. ”

"Secret passages? Could it be that Lin Thorn Shi has already determined that we will definitely fail at the hands of Cao Cao? Chen Gong asked Lin Ran with a frown.

Lin Ran shook his head, nodded again, and said slowly: "Who dares to speculate about the future?" It's just that if you can leave yourself an extra way out, one day, in times of crisis, you can use it. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Gong thought about it again, and finally hugged Lin Ran's hand, then stepped on the ferry without looking back, and slowly sailed away from the river bank.

"Lord Thorn, why don't you leave this Lord behind? I can see that you take this adult very seriously. Lu Bu's army is about to be destroyed, and when he goes, most of them will never come back, and he will perish with Lu Bu. ”

Lin Ran carried his hands behind his back, the breeze on the gentle river lifted Lin Ran's collar slightly, Lin Ran looked at the turbulent Yangtze River and the ferryboat that was gradually moving away, and said with some emotion: "Everyone has their own things to do, even if it is death, you have to move forward calmly." I can't stop him from moving forward, I just hope that he can escape the fate of death and be used by me again. ”

Rao is how hard Lu Bu's forces worked, in the end, Lin Ran never agreed to stand next to Lu Bu, and always pursued the principle of neutrality.

Of course, Lin Ran is not absolutely neutral, and behind his back, he is constantly making small moves.

For example, on the eve of the start of the Great War, the merchants of the Little White Merchants League had already begun to hoard a large amount of raw materials in the war zone, raise the price of goods, vigorously peddle war materials, suppress the local economy, and sell a large number of war materials to both sides of the war, from which they earned high profits.

The behavior of the Xiaobai Business Alliance to take advantage of the fire and rob undoubtedly made both sides of the war a little angry, but at the same time, it made Ma Ta Hu Chen and Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.

What they are most afraid of is actually the Yangzhou Alliance's participation in the Battle of Xuzhou, with the support of a super alliance like the Yangzhou Alliance, the final outcome of the war is really unknown.

But now, the withdrawal of troops from Huainan, the development of the economy, and the development of war money, none of the actions of the Xiaobai Alliance have been confirmed, and they really have no intention of interfering in the battle of Xuzhou.

This is undoubtedly the best news for Ma Tahu Chen and Cao Cao.

The two allied armies soon marched to the city of Xuzhou, and cleared the forces of the Lü Bu army near the city of Xuzhou, and the army surrounded the entire city of Xuzhou.

Lu Bu's army held it behind closed doors, and millions of troops did not leak a drop of water in the defense of the entire Xuzhou City, could not insert a needle, and could not splash water.

Cao Cao and Ma Tahu Chen's army launched a fierce attack on Xuzhou City one after another, but Xuzhou City was well defended and defended tightly, and several fierce attacks ended in a crushing defeat, and the two coalition armies were repeatedly defeated under Xuzhou City, and could not step into Xuzhou City.......
