Chapter 818: Operation Thunder

Zhou Sen casually picked up some vegetables in those big pots and walked to the young man, who was also holding a basin and squatting in the corner to eat.

"Zhou Sen." Zhou Sen squatted beside the young man and smiled.

“…… Yao Bing. The young man hesitated.

"How long have you been here?"

"Three months." Yao Bing glanced at the cooks.

"I just came today."

"I know."

Yao Bing doesn't seem to be good at talking, Zhou Sen asked him and he answered, and the two chatted with each other.

After a while, the group of chefs finished eating, explained a few words, and left Zhou Sen Yao Bing and a few handymen to clean up the kitchen. After a few chefs left, a few handymen complained, yo Zhou Sen and Yao Bing, and slipped away.

"Or ...... You rest and go. Yao Bing glanced at Zhou Sen.

"Let's go together, you teach me." Zhou Sen glanced at the empty kitchen, and could only smile bitterly, only since he was thrown into Mogan Prison, he has seen too much of the weak and the strong, but he didn't expect that in this barracks canteen, it is also an undisguised law of the jungle.

"Okay."

Yao Bing nodded and began to tell Zhou Sen anything to clean up.

In fact, it is not difficult to clean up, it is nothing more than pouring some uneaten leftovers together, tidying up and cleaning some kitchen utensils in the kitchen, removing ashes in the stove, and so on. Cleaning does not need to be managed by Zhou Sen, there are special people.

There are more than a dozen kitchen stoves, plus pots and pans, and the work is very great, and the two of them have been busy until a group of chefs slowly return to the kitchen, and the two of them finish their work.

Getting the job done is just the beginning of another job.

Zhou Sen threw himself into the busier work and began to chop and wash vegetables.

But don't underestimate cutting and washing vegetables, that's manual work, just a basket of potatoes and radishes or something is hundreds of pounds, to wash and cut into pieces, the workload can be imagined.

After dinner, a group of chefs did not leave, they helped to clean up, and soon the kitchen was cleaned up and they left.

Fortunately, Jin Xiaopang hadn't forgotten Zhou Sen's existence, and after cleaning up, he took Zhou Sen to a barracks, assigned a bed and left. The barracks was a huge dormitory, and it was so stinking that there were fifty beds in the bunks, and judging by the greasy clothes on the beds, the people who slept here were cooks.

Zhou Sen didn't see Yao Bing.

Zhou Sen had a feeling of loneliness.

Over the next few days, Zhou Sen finally understood what had happened.

He was not a regular soldier of the Han Empire, but was made a reservist, mainly for those regular soldiers.

From the mouths of those young cooks, I learned that the treatment of regular soldiers in the Han Empire is extremely high, and it is also a supreme honor in their hometown, so many young people regard being a soldier as an ideal, but the soldiers of the Han Empire are not so good, and there are only two kinds of people who can enter the army, the first is a person who is physically strong; The second type is the rich and powerful.

In addition to the above two, there is another way, that is, the reservist, that is, Zhou Sen's current identity.

After joining the reservists, the reservists had priority when the regular army was recruited in the Han Empire. Of course, it is not easy to be able to change from a reservist to a regular soldier, and the same two conditions are required at the beginning, being strong and strong, or having a relationship and background in the family, otherwise, it will be in vain.

Obviously, Lu Xiaomei is a rich and powerful person, after he joins the reserves, as long as the Han Empire recruits soldiers, it is easy to turn into regular soldiers, and even if it is a reservist, it is also a fat shortage with external water.

As for Zhou Sen, it is impossible to get the same care as Lu Xiaomei, after all, in Wuchao City, everyone knows the population structure of the Lu family, although Zhou Sen joined the reserve army with Lu Xiaomei, but they all think that Zhou Sen is just a distant relative of the Lu family, and Master Lu did not deliberately explain, so he was directly thrown into the worst kitchen in the reserve.

Of course, there is also a regular establishment in the kitchen, but it is not the turn of a reservist like Zhou Sen, and most of the ones who have an establishment are chefs like Jin Erfat. In fact, there is a shortage of kitchen establishments, even if some chefs are not necessarily regular military establishments.

Zhou Sen originally wanted to notify the three shareholders of Xinghuo Commercial Bank, but in this kitchen, he was busy all day and the news was blocked, so he couldn't notify him at all. In the end, Zhou Sen could only pin his trust on Lu Kitten, but unfortunately, although he was in the same barracks, Zhou Sen couldn't see Lu Kitten at all.

Now, Zhou Sen's daily life is two o'clock and one line, from the kitchen to the barracks.

Several nights, Zhou Sen wanted to leave the barracks and go to Xinghuo Trading House to inform the three shareholders, what made Zhou Sen vomit blood was that although this barracks did not have the image of a soldier, in order not to affect the cooking, it was the implementation of militarized management in terms of time, and someone would check the shop every morning and evening, and it was impossible for Zhou Sen to leave and return unnoticed.

On the fifth day, Zhou Sen was completely dead, and he thought of a question.

The three shareholders are not familiar with the military, and if they want to make friends with the powerful people of the army, even if it costs money, it will definitely take a process, and this process can be as short as a few days or as long as several months.

With the steady character of the three shareholders, it is estimated that it will take about three months at the earliest if you want to get through the relationship between the top and bottom.

After figuring it out, Zhou Sen began to think about other channels.

Zhou Sen naturally didn't want to stay in the smoky kitchen for three months.

If it really can't be done, then the only thing is to violate military discipline and be expelled from the military......

……

In five days, Zhou Sen became completely familiar with the process of the kitchen, and the chef in the kitchen had a good impression of this newcomer with quick hands and feet, from deliberately making things difficult at the beginning to slowly accepting it.

On the sixth day of preparing lunch, Zhou Sen and Yao Bing chose vegetables together, and when they were chatting with each other, someone shouted that the people in the kitchen were moving things, and all the people in the kitchen were dispatched, and when they arrived at the warehouse behind the kitchen, by the warehouse, many people were unloading from the short-legged donkey, and the goods piled up in the open space were piled up, including flour and rice, edible oil, seasonings, salt, etc., everything.

Zhou Sen saw a familiar face.

Captain Han.

"Hello fat brother!" Zhou Sen glanced around, but didn't see Lu Xiaomei, and hurriedly ran to Captain Han's side to say hello.

"Yo, Zhou Sen, I haven't seen it for a few days, it's a lot stronger!" Captain Han punched Zhou Sen in the chest, with a look of admiration. At the beginning, Zhou Sen stood beside Lu Xiaomei, and Captain Han always thought that Zhou Sen was weak, but now when he looked at it, he found that Zhou Sen was actually very strong.

"Where's Lu Kitten?" Zhou Sen hurriedly asked.

"He...... Hey...... He was exalted...... Hey, it's a secret, you can't say it. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Sen suddenly looked disappointed.

"By the way, Zhou Sen, for the sake of the kitten's face, I will tell you a good news." Captain Han looked mysterious.

"Huh?"

"I heard that the Empire is recruiting regular troops, this is a good opportunity, you have to behave well."

"When?"

"Just this month or so, don't be lazy."

"Uh-huh, thank you Fat Brother, thank you Fat Brother." Zhou Sen thanked him again and again, took out some imperial coins and stuffed them into Captain Han's trouser pocket.

"Oops...... How embarrassing is this......"

Han Fatzi smiled, and secretly praised this young man for being sensible.

After moving some supplies to the warehouse, the group returned to the kitchen, and Zhou Sen found that several chefs had gathered around a small table, muttering and discussing. There is no need to guess, Zhou Sen knows that they are sharing the spoils.

Harming the public and private seems to have become a chain of interests, and Captain Han is just one of them.

Zhou Sen could only frown, he knew that this was a huge chain of interests, and Captain Han was just the tip of the iceberg, if he wanted to uncover this black curtain, it was definitely not something he could do, because everyone was used to it.

Things must rot first, and then worms will grow.

Suddenly, Zhou Sen had a sense of crisis.

When the famine spread last year, Zhou Sen felt that the Han Empire was a little powerless, and when it came to the army, he felt that under the majestic army, there was a thick black curtain.

Zhou Sen can definitely believe that behind Captain Han, there is a huge black hand that is manipulating everything.

Who will it be?

The god of gourd?

Subconsciously, Zhou Sen shook his head, although he didn't know that the Golden Melon Heavenly God was a human being, but he had seen the Longtu Heavenly God, and he had reached the level of the Longtu Heavenly God, and he would definitely not shake the foundation of the empire for some petty profits.

At dinner that day, Zhou Sen found that the rice used was adult rice, many of which had been moldy, and it was still yellow and black after many times.

Zhou Sen felt the anger of those soldiers, and he realized that a wave of anger was growing and spreading.

Something is going to happen!

To Zhou Sen's surprise, although those soldiers were extremely angry, no one made trouble, and everyone had an expression on their faces that dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. 、

For two days in a row, Zhou Sen found that although the soldiers were angry, they seemed to accept the reality and still ate in silence, but Zhou Sen found that the leftovers had increased significantly, and many meals were splashed into the water tank without moving at all.

It was a silent protest.

However, no one took this protest to heart, and the chefs were still in full swing in the kitchen.

In the midst of this protest, Zhou Sen found that the soldiers who had eaten the inferior food had become visibly depressed, and at least 50 people had seen more than 50 people frequently going to the toilet during meals.

On the third day, the spoiled and inferior food was consumed, the meals were back on track, and the anger of those soldiers eased a lot, and Zhou Sen breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, after all, no one wanted to face a cold face.

What made Zhou Sen puzzled was that those cooks seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't take it seriously, and under the side knocks, Zhou Sen knew that similar things had happened before, some soldiers made trouble, and the result was that the soldiers who made trouble were locked up, and even some soldiers were directly dismissed from the military and sent back to their hometowns.

There is no doubt that being expelled from the military and repatriated to their homeland is a disgrace for a soldier, and even related to the prosperity of the family's honor.

No wonder the soldiers swallowed their anger.

Over the next few days, a couple of officer-looking men came to the kitchen to inspect them, took some samples, and then they were gone.

At noon on another day, when Zhou Sen was racking his brains to find a way to leave the kitchen, a short soldier walked into the kitchen alone. The people in the kitchen seemed to know him and saluted him.

The short soldier waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go about themselves, and then he carefully examined it in the kitchen, and from time to time he would pick up the food with his chopsticks and taste a little.

The short soldier didn't seem to find the problem, and left with a grim expression.

When the soldier left, the chef in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Kim, who is he?" Zhou Sen asked.

"General Yue, a civilian general in charge of logistics." Jin Xiaopang said absent-mindedly.

"Are you here to check the moldy food from last time?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of moldy food! That eye of yours sees moldy food?! ”

“……”

"Be careful when you talk in the future." Jin Xiaopang's expression was extremely stern.

"Yes, yes."

On that day, after dinner, all the people in the kitchen were summoned to the conference room for a meeting, and the convener was none other than General Nayue. During the meeting, General Yue mentioned the matter of food mildew many times, but none of the chefs stood up to speak, but there were chefs who argued.

After the meeting, some people were stayed, most of them were newcomers, and among them, there were Zhou Sen and Yao Bing.

Zhou Sen waited alone in a small office for a long time before the door was pushed open.

It was General Yue who came in.

General Yue nodded at the saluting Zhou Sen and motioned for Zhou Sen to sit down, and after sitting down, General Yue did not speak, but was silent for a long time.

"You are Zhou Sen, the last one. And, I know, and you won't say, I'm just wasting my time. General Yue sighed to himself, a trace of worry on his face.

"I want to know, how many times has this happened?" Zhou Sen asked without humility or arrogance.

“…… This, has not been counted. General Yue obviously didn't expect Zhou Sen to take the initiative to speak, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"How many years?"

"It's been more than ten years."

"General, I want to know, what about the soldiers who said it?" Zhou Sen's gaze became incomparably deep.

"......" General Yue opened his mouth and did not speak, and there was silence for a while.

"If I did, what could be the worst?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Boot camp."

"Boot camp?" Zhou Sen was stunned.

"Most likely, you will be tortured to death. Forget it, so be it. General Yue stood up slowly, his face heavy.

"Things must rot first, and then worms will grow." Zhou Sen said word by word.

"Things must rot first, and then worms will grow!"

General Yue's short body was shocked, and he slowly sat down again, looking at Zhou Sen quietly.

"General, the villain asks a few questions first, and asks the general to answer truthfully."

"Say."

"If the Golden Gourd Heavenly God knew, would he be able to change the status quo?"

"Difficult!" General Yue pondered for a moment and spat out a word.

"Hehe, that is to say, the mastermind behind the scenes is very powerful, and even the big figures in Wuchao City can't be shaken, then, his person must be from the high-level of the imperial capital, in charge of the responsibility of supervising the golden gourd god, if the villain reports truthfully to the general, the general will not be able to solve the problem, but the villain will incur the disaster of killing, the price of this sacrifice is meaningless."

"No, it makes sense, at least, it can make them converge and converge."

"That's meaningful to the general, but it's meaningless to the villain."

"Hehe, you're special. Okay, I don't embarrass you, go ahead, there will be a result in this matter, and I am not in a hurry. ”

"General, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, but not one day." Zhou Sen said with a smile.

"What do you suggest?" General Yue's body shook.

"I can't talk about it, this matter is related to the top of the empire, and it is impossible to cure it radically, but it is still possible to deter and deter. In fact, the general can now collect human and material evidence in case of emergency, and then, by using iron-fisted means to kill a few people, it will naturally be able to set an example for everyone. ”

"Kill! Hahaha...... Little brother, you think too highly of me, don't look at everyone calling me a general, in fact, I am an empty shell, powerless and powerless, you want me to kill people, who will I kill? Kill you! General Yue laughed.

"Yes, just kill people like me!"

"Say!" General Yue's eyes lit up.

"This matter, the golden gourd god should know something, if the general truthfully reports to it, gets support, kills a few small soldiers and young generals who are involved, and makes an example of chickens and monkeys, when the time comes, who will dare to risk killing the head to damage the public and private interests? As for those behind the scenes, they can only eat coptis dumbly. ”

"You don't just look down on me, you look down on them! They collude with each other inside and outside, both as individuals and as a whole, and they affect the whole body. General Yue smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, this is a matter of determination, if General Yue is determined to do it, he can naturally do it well. Besides, General Yue did it, not only to get the support of the military, but also to let the soldiers see your efforts, but also, after collecting evidence, once you find an opportunity, you will strike a thunderbolt and let them never survive. ”

"Go ahead." General Yue walked to the window, glanced out, and waved his hand back at Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen sighed secretly, he saw the helplessness on General Yue's face, it was an expression of more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

Walking out of the room, Zhou Sen found that all the people in the kitchen were looking at him, and their eyes were not friendly.

Obviously, I stayed too long.

It seems that he will soon be transferred to the boot camp.

In the next three days, Zhou Sen did not expect General Yue's iron-fisted methods, and everything was calm in the kitchen, but on the fourth day, he received a secret order in the kitchen.

The so-called secret order is to transfer Zhou Sen out of the kitchen under the pretext of military secrecy.

Not only Zhou Sen, but the other six chefs in the kitchen all received secret orders.

Looking at the secret order in his hand, Zhou Sen could only smile bitterly, he still overestimated General Yue's ability.

Zhou Sen originally thought that even if General Yue couldn't take iron-fisted measures to control corruption, he would at least clean up the discipline in a small place like the kitchen, but now, not only did he not have the plough court and sweep the holes that Zhou Sen fantasized about, but he didn't even have the least rectification of discipline, but instead, the black hand behind the scenes first launched a revenge.

There is no doubt that because of General Yue's meeting, the mastermind behind the scenes simply made the first move.

In fact, except for Zhou Sen's few words, the people in the kitchen remained silent about General Yue's investigation, but it was obvious that the forces behind the scenes didn't care whether they said it or not, they were also killing chickens and making an example.

If Zhou Sen is "deserved", then Jin Xiaopang's group of chefs is completely unjustified.

In the entire kitchen, Zhou Sen was the only reservist who was transferred, which shows that someone was informing, and several chefs were tired of Zhou Sen.

After receiving the secret order, it was just a simple handover with the new chef who took over the kitchen, and Zhou Sen and the others were immediately taken away by a group of heavily armed soldiers and put into a military carriage.

On the occasion of leaving, Zhou Sen saw that the honest Yao Bing had a smug expression on his face.

The carriage carried the crowd away.

A group of cooks fidgeted in the carriage, panicking all day long, and kept complaining about Zhou Sen.

Almost everyone was complaining about Zhou Sen, thinking that the reason was Zhou Sen, because, after the meeting, only Zhou Sen and General Yue chatted the longest.

In the face of the complaints around him, Zhou Sen could only remain silent.

For a group of chefs, Zhou Sen is still a little guilty, they are only the end of the entire chain of interests, but they take the biggest risk and survive in the cracks. This time it was connected, and it was indeed an unwarranted disaster.

In the midst of a group of people's anxiety, the carriage drove all night.

Before dawn, the carriage stopped and seemed to have reached its destination.

No one told them to come down, so they stayed in the wagon. The outside of the carriage was extremely chaotic, with the occasional sound of metal colliding and dense footsteps.

With a "bang", the curtain of the carriage was opened.

"Get out of the car." A tall, thin, black-faced soldier snorted coldly.

"Yes yes yes ......"

A group of cooks shivered at the fierce gaze, and hurriedly nodded and got out of the carriage.

Nest City!

Zhou Sen was surprised to find that they did not arrive at the boot training camp, but actually returned to Wuchao City, on both sides, there was the towering cliff of the Dark Ridge, and the place where they were now was the open space outside the barracks in Wuchao City, in the open space, there were hundreds of soldiers in and out, they seemed to be preparing something, and they seemed to be extremely busy.

Just when a group of cooks were panicking, a soldier who looked like a steward came over and took away the order in their hands, and was stunned for a moment when he received Zhou Sen's order.

"You're a reservist?" The soldier asked, frowning.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Sen replied respectfully.

The soldier didn't speak, he left immediately, and muttered something to the people in the Jiudao Gui Barracks not far away, Zhou Sen immediately inquired with "Jing", but he heard what the people from the Jiudao Gui Barracks said The list drawn up by the deputy supervision envoy himself, and then, the soldier complained casually, and there was no substantive information.

However, Zhou Sen still knew some clues, at least, the so-called supervision envoy was one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

After the soldier negotiated with the soldiers of the Jiudaogui Barracks, he took Zhou Sen and the other six cooks to a barracks, motioned for everyone to change into ordinary people's clothes, and made proper arrangements, and the soldier threw Zhou Sen and the others outside.

Coming out of the barracks, Zhou Sen found that some of the people had also changed their clothes, and the clothes were the same as them, all of them were herdsmen's clothes.

Zhou Sen was arranged to be next to a healthy horse, and Zhou Sen found that everyone had a Xiongnu healthy horse by his side.

When Li Min was approaching, Zhou Sen felt the tense atmosphere, and the soldiers were holding their breath, as if they were listening to something.

Just when Zhou Sen was guessing, suddenly, there was a stormy sound of horses' hooves outside Wuchao City, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly deafening when Li Min was approaching, and the entire Wuchao City seemed to be shaking.

"Let's go!" In the darkness, a short, sturdy soldier shouted, and immediately turned on his horse.

"Keep up."

A soldier whispered to Zhou Sen and several cooks.

"Yes, yes."

Zhou Sen and a few cooks got on their horses and followed the group of soldiers out of Wuchao City, and when they just left the gate of Wuchao City, thousands of elite cavalry outside rushed like a tide from outside the canyon.

Seeing the murderous rush of the black crushing cavalry, Rao is Zhou Sen was bold and frightened, and a group of cooks were even more frightened.

A strange scene arose, when the overwhelming cavalry approached them, they suddenly leaned to the side, making way for them to pass by a narrow passage.

"Speed up!"

The thin and sturdy man urged, and immediately, a group of soldiers and cooks disguised as herdsmen urged their horses to gallop towards the grassland beyond the canyon, and Zhou Sen and a few cooks hurriedly followed.

Everyone ran non-stop all the way, and they ran wildly for a hundred miles, until the sun rose three poles.

When the horse was galloping, Zhou Sen had already figured out the structure of this group of people, including him and six cooks, the total number was thirty-two, and the sturdy little man was a soldier and a leader, known as "Brother Hao".

The group found a sheltered bush to rest, and several cooks immediately gathered hay and dead branches and prepared to raise the fire for cooking, but they were stopped by the sturdy little soldier.

"What are you doing?" The short, sturdy soldier looked at the cooks with a puzzled expression.

"Master Jun, cook!" Jin Xiaopang looked flattering.

"Cook! What to cook? The soldier was stunned.

"Didn't you call us here to cook for you?" Jin Xiaopang also looked puzzled.

"You're a chef?" The short, sturdy soldier came to his senses and asked.

"Yes, we're all chefs."

“…… Cook...... Chef ......"

The short and sturdy soldier had a cold face, but suddenly he woke up, and immediately had a nervous breakdown, and sat on the ground with a trance. After a while, the soldier came to his senses, gathered everyone together, and asked for detailed identities one by one.

Among the thirty-two people, except for Zhou Sen, who is a reservist, the others are all regular soldiers, but the difference is that they are not well-trained combatants, but engaged in various jobs in the army, and they don't even know what they are called to Wuchao City for.

After figuring out their respective identities, the short and sturdy soldiers looked disheartened when they were in a daze for a long time.

Then, the short and sturdy soldier told everyone about the mission.

Assassinate the Xiongnu Shan Yu's arm, King Zuoxian.

The crowd was stunned at first, then agitated, clamoring to go back.

Zhou Sen could only smile bitterly, he thought that the worst plan was to be sent to the boot training camp for training, he never dreamed that they would be sent directly to the enemy's rear to carry out assassination missions. There is no doubt that this was an assassination attempt to the death.

"Quiet." The short, sturdy soldier raised his arms with a serious expression.

The noisy crowd fell silent.

The short, sturdy soldier began to tell the story of the assassination.

This assassination operation is called "Thunder Operation", which means to give the enemy a thunderous blow, because King Zuo Xian is the main battle faction of the Huns, and if King Zuo Xian is assassinated, Wuchao City is likely to be exempted from military disasters.

The plan had been detailed months earlier, with several barracks selecting elites for assassination operations, and then commanded by a tough man codenamed "Brother Hao".

Because of the vast grassland and desert area, when carrying out the "Thunder Operation", in order not to leak the news, and the long distance, the elites have enough time to run in, so except for Brother Hao, the elite team members did not know the assassination mission when they left Wuchao City.

Similarly, in order to keep it a secret, Brother Hao did not contact the selected elites.

In order to keep it secret, when the assassination team went deep into the grassland, Wuchao City sent thousands of elite cavalry Mu Qing dozens of miles outside Wuchao City and expelled all the spies and herdsmen.

"Brother Hao, I'm just a chef, I'm going home!" Jin Xiaopang was the first to object.

"I want to go home too, but if we go back now, I am sure that tomorrow at noon our heads will be hung above the city gates." Brother Hao smiled bitterly.

"Ah......h

A group of people immediately looked at each other.

"Strictly speaking, your identity is a regular soldier, as long as you violate discipline while performing a mission, even if you are not sentenced to death, you will be imprisoned for a long time, here, the only one who can leave is Xiao Zhou, because his identity is a reservist, and he is not qualified to carry out military operations."

"Zhou Sen, you can go home alone, did you mean it?" Jin Xiaopang looked at Zhou Sen with a jealous expression.

"Yes, Zhou Sen, did you deliberately frame us?" Several other chefs condemned Zhou Sen in unison.

"Guys, what's the point of arguing about this now? Now, the most important thing is to find a way to get the job done and get home safely. Zhou Sen said lightly.

"Complete the task ......"

"Get home safely!"

"Boy, what we want to assassinate is King Zuoxian, a madman of the Huns, a war maniac."

“……”

Hearing Zhou Sen's words, everyone was suddenly shocked, and the gossip and the crowd argued violently.

"Brother Hao, what do you think?" Zhou Sen looked at Brother Hao.

"I racked my brains for months to prepare for this plan, but I couldn't imagine that it would fall short at the last minute...... It seems that the discord between the Golden Melon Heavenly God and the above is not groundless......" Brother Hao looked depressed.

"Brother Hao, is the army the main battle or the main peace?" Zhou Sen was suddenly a little confused, judging from this operation, the army planned this operation, aiming to eliminate King Zuoxian, who was the main battle of the Xiongnu, so as to achieve the goal of peace. However, it seems that another force is holding back the army's decision, and although it approved the operation, it was to interfere with it, and make the assassination attempt fail, so as to achieve the purpose of the war.

It seems that the forces behind the scenes would prefer war to happen.

"I don't know about this, but the general once said that the Han Empire is now prone to natural disasters, internal and external troubles, and storms, so it is not suitable for using troops." Brother Hao shook his head.

"Yes."

Zhou Sen secretly admired, sure enough, he was a vain man under the fame, and the golden gourd god was far-sighted, not a brave and unscrupulous person.

The Han Empire seems to be strong, but last year's famine showed that the edifice was about to collapse, and if a large-scale war broke out, it was likely to trigger a chain reaction that would be out of control.

In the past, Zhou Sen was full of confidence in the army of the Han Empire, but after only spending some time in the Jiudaogui barracks, he suddenly lost the slightest confidence in the army of the Han Empire.

There is no doubt that whether it is the Longtu Heavenly God or the Golden Melon Heavenly God, they are all fierce generals with amazing strategies, but as the so-called single tree is difficult to support, the war is often a war between tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, which also involves the supply of the army, not a few fierce generals can win the war.

On the other hand, the Huns, sharpening their knives, and the number of arrows hidden by a small tribe are extremely amazing, which shows that they have long been scheming.

From Zhou Sen's point of view, the war between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu, even if it was won, would greatly damage its vitality and shake the foundation of the empire.

This assassination can be seen in the clues.

The power of the Golden Melon Heavenly God seems to be in danger of being set aside, and it can be seen that such an important military operation as the assassination of King Zuo Xian was actually manipulated by the forces behind the scenes.

From the dispatch of thousands of cavalry Mu Qing within a radius of dozens of miles from Wuchao City to cover this assassination team, it can be seen that the Golden Melon Heavenly God attaches great importance to this assassination operation, but unfortunately, he never thought that those so-called elites are either chefs or craftsmen, and these people are all people who have disobeyed the forces behind the scenes in some small things and need to be cut off......

……

Watching a group of people discussing how to escape for their lives, Brother Hao didn't bother to speak, leaning on a rock in a daze.

Brother Hao is a soldier, he is not a chef, nor is he a craftsman, he is a real soldier, but he is just a person, even if he has the iron-blooded heart of a real soldier, he never thought of leading such a group of rabble to assassinate King Zuoxian.

What Brother Hao needs is a team, an elite team to complete an assassination operation that can go down in history, and God, played a huge joke with him.

Now, Brother Hao is already disheartened.

Operation Thunder, in name only.

Everyone in the grassland is like frosted eggplant, one by one sick and sitting on the grass.

From beginning to end, Zhou Sen remained silent.

One by one, ideas were proposed, but they were rejected one by one.

There is no way to save your life without going to jail, it seems that all roads have been blocked, and the only way is a dead end!

Zhou Sen stood up.

Zhou Sen decided to save the assassination team, which had already been demoralized.

Zhou Sen's eyes fell on Brother Hao, he respected this anxious tough man, if everyone here just wanted to go home, then this man was carrying the mission of history, and his pain and anxiety were not something that a few chefs could understand.

"Brother Sen, I have something to say."

"Say it."

At this time, everyone lost their respect for Brother Hao, the leader, and Zhou Sen's respect made Brother Sen feel a little surprised.

"Uncle Jin, I have something to say." Zhou Sen stared at the chattering Jin Xiaopang.

"Say it...... Hey, everyone is in the same boat now, quiet and quiet...... "Although Jin Xiaopang is a little unkind to Zhou Sen, but, as Zhou Sen said, there is no point in being noisy at this time, and it is the best policy to work together to go home safely.

Silence fell.

All eyes fell on Zhou Sen.

Suddenly, people noticed that this young man, who was extremely cautious in his speech and walking, exuded an awe-inspiring majesty, and his not tall body gave people a sense of majesty.

Brother Hao also noticed the change in Zhou Sen's temperament, and couldn't help but sit up straight.

Compared with a group of chefs, Brother Hao, who is the confidant of the Golden Melon Heavenly God, can be said to have seen the world, not only has seen many strong people, but also dealt with many high-ranking officials, so he can naturally see Zhou Sen's unique spiritual temperament.

"Everyone, I am Zhou Sen, a reservist, my identity can allow me to return to Wuchao City, however, I can only think about it, from here to Wuchao City, there are hundreds of miles away from Wuchao City, and the herdsmen and spies who were dispersed by the cavalry of Wuchao City have all gathered around Wuchao City, and if I go back, I may not be able to enter Wuchao City alive. Well, even if I return to Wuchao City safely, I am sure that the people who arranged for us to die here will not let me go easily, and what awaits me is the tragic fate of being killed. ”

Zhou Sen paused.

Zhou Sen's words have a deep meaning, not only to make everyone gain psychological balance, but also to shorten the distance with everyone.

Most of the time, some people's happiness is based on the pain of others. Obviously, the current pain of everyone is because Zhou Sen has a chance to live, and their pain stems from Zhou Sen's chance to live, and now, Zhou Sen's opportunity is shattered, and everyone's psychological balance is not enough, and the envy and jealousy at the beginning will naturally disappear as a matter of course.

In addition to letting everyone gain psychological balance, Zhou Sen is also telling them that if they escape back to Wuchao City, it is not just as simple as going to prison, but the biggest possibility is to be killed and killed.

People's last glimmer of hope was extinguished alive by Zhou Sen.

"Xiao Zhou, do you have any good way to say it for everyone's reference." Jin Xiaopang said.

"I said at the beginning, kill King Zuoxian!" Zhou Sen cut the railway.

This time, no one was noisy, you look at me, I look at you, there was a long silence.

Zhou Sen's proposal has become the only hope.

If you kill King Zuoxian, all problems will be solved.

"We only have one battle now and kill King Zuoxian, we can return in triumph and become the heroes of the Han Empire, and when the time comes, no one will dare to disadvantage us." Zhou Sen was stunned word by word.

"It's easier said than done......," muttered an armoured craftsman.

"Yes, it's not easy, maybe, we will never be able to kill King Zuo Xian, but this is our only hope, and besides, we are not without the slightest chance, we have Brother Hao, Brother Hao has been preparing for this assassination operation for several months, as long as we work together, it is not impossible to kill King Zuo Xian." Zhou Sen knew that he had to arouse Brother Hao's ambitions.

"It's hard to ......" Brother Hao shook his head with a blank face.

"Brother Hao, if there are any difficulties, just say it, and the brothers will work together to find a way to get through it."

"At the beginning, I used to draw up a list of assassination squads, all of whom were the top experts in each class, and all of them had a lot of experience in stealth in the field, but now, they are either chefs or craftsmen......

"Hehe, Brother Hao, we are also the top masters in the industry, the uncle cooks the best food, the leather armor made by the cother is the strongest, and the uncle repairs the forging weapon but has a few brushes......"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone was amused by Zhou Sen and burst into laughter, and the solemn atmosphere was much more relaxed.

"Hehe......" Brother Hao, who was originally indifferent, also laughed.

"Brother Hao, I'm serious, don't underestimate the brothers, Uncle Jin, they can cook a good meal, we can eat and drink enough to fight, the vermilion cobbler can help us process some armor, more chances to survive, Hong Ye can forge some of the tools we need, as long as we work together, it is not impossible to create a miracle, when the time comes, the brothers can return triumphantly, and make those who want to frame us stupid......"

"What I need is not someone to cook, but someone to kill."

"It's just killing people, it's no different from killing chickens and sheep, you ask your brothers, who hasn't slaughtered a few cows and sheep? Let's just say that Uncle Jin is in charge of cutting vegetables every day, not only is his hand strong, but his knife skills are accurate, if he wants to cut off one or two of your meat, it will never be one or two without money. Let's talk about the vermilion leather maker, who is familiar with the road of peeling with a knife, and killing people is not a piece of cake. As for Hong Ye, if you look at the pimple flesh on his body, who dares to say that he won't kill? Zhou Sen walked up to Hong Ye and grabbed Hong Ye's strong arm and lifted it up.

"That's it, Brother Hao, isn't it just murder!"

The crowd laughed again.

"Does anyone know how to shoot arrows?" Brother Hao also seemed to be a little moved by Zhou Sen's words, and asked casually.

"Me!" Zhou Sen said immediately.

"Do you know how to shoot arrows?" Brother Hao had a non-skeptical expression on his face.

"Of course, Brother Hao, it's not Xiao Zhou that I brag, I will shoot there when you say shoot, I think back then, I once used an arrow to sterilize a fly."

"Spaying and neutering flies with arrows?" Brother Hao didn't react for a while.

"Hahaha, Xiao Zhou, you just blow it!" The crowd laughed again.

"Xiao Zhou, you are too good at talking." Brother Hao reacted immediately and said with a wry smile.

"Brother Hao, I'm not bragging, you say, where to shoot?" Zhou Sen laughed and untied the horned bow and quiver from his horse.

"Can you really shoot?"

"Of course."

"Okay, just shoot the tree." Brother Hao casually pointed to a tree the thickness of an arm not far away, and the tree was not far away, about twenty zhang.

"Brothers, look at it!"

Zhou Sen let out a long laugh and pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

In fact, everyone didn't have much hope for Zhou Sen, but now that they were in a desperate situation, they all subconsciously wanted to have some fun.

Zhou Sen's expression suddenly became cold, he bent his bow and arrows, and the bowstring was slowly pulled away little by little, inexplicably, the atmosphere became tense, and people held their breath, for fear of disturbing Zhou Sen.

"Stretch"

With a slight cracking sound, the black-feathered arrow shot like a meteor into the arm-thick tree.

"Grab"

The arrow hit the tree, and the trunk shook and a few leaves fell.

There was a suffocating silence at first, and then, there was a burst of applause, and Brother Hao, who was originally sitting, also stood up, looking at the sharp arrow that vibrated on the trunk of the tree, with an incredible look of shock.

"Brother Hao, stay away!" Zhou Sen was in high spirits and laughed.

At this time, Zhou Sen can no longer care about hiding his secrets, and he must inject confidence into this team.

"Just the crooked-necked tree." A glimmer of hope rose in Brother Hao's eyes, he was the leader of this assassination operation, and naturally knew the important role of an archery master.

"Good!"

Before Zhou Sen's words fell, the sharp arrow in his hand had already left the string.

"Grab"

The black feather arrow was nailed to the crooked neck tree thirty zhang away, and what was terrifying was that the thigh-thick crooked neck tree actually shook violently, and the leaves fell one after another.

All of them were shocked.

If it was Zhou Sen's luck to start with an arrow, then this arrow has been confirmed, it is not luck.

Brother Hao's heart was shocked.

If everyone else is a layman, then Brother Hao is undoubtedly an insider. It is not very difficult to shoot a target 30 zhang away, in the army, there are many people who shoot a target 30 zhang away, but it is rare for an arrow like Zhou Sen to shoot a target 30 zhang away and still have such strong stamina.

"Brother Hao, a little farther away!" Zhou Sen stepped onto a big stone and was arrogant.

"The tree!"

Brother Hao pointed at the giant tree fifty zhang away.

This time, Brother Hao deliberately pointed out a giant tree, after all, the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to hit the target, and if the target is larger, the chance of hitting the target increases a lot. At this time, Brother Hao had realized that he had to build confidence in this rabble.

"Brothers, look ahead!"

Zhou Sen did not shoot an arrow immediately, but put the quiver on his back, and then, he took out a sharp arrow and put it on the bowstring, concentrating calmly, and a pair of deep eyes gradually became sharp.

Zhou Sen's whole person seems to have become a sharp arrow that may leave the string at any time.

Once again, the atmosphere became tense.

People felt the killing aura of Jin Ge's iron horse.

Arrow Soul!

Arrow soul, the legendary highest level of archery!

Brother Hao looked at Zhou Sen with wide eyes, his fingers trembling slightly from excitement.

In the desert grassland, it is not uncommon for the Huns to have masters with arrow souls, but in Wuchao City, because of living habits and regional influences, there are very few archery masters with arrow souls, and there are no more than ten well-documented, and among them, there are also senior generals like the Golden Melon God.

In terms of archery, compared with the strong arrow soul of the Han Empire, the Xiongnu Yi arrow technique is better, because the Xiongnu have a long-standing Yi arrow technique, and the strong man of the Han Empire is completely self-comprehended, so the Xiongnu's inherited Yi arrow art is more powerful, and it is this gap that makes the strong man with the arrow soul of the Han more and more precious.

Found a treasure!

Brother Hao's blood was boiling, and his heart was beating faster.

Shoot!

Whoosh whoosh ......

Zhou Sen fired arrows one after another, and kept pulling the arrow feathers from his shoulders to his hands with one hand, and the movements were smooth, and the sharp arrows shot out one after another, like a black line.

"Phew"

With a snapping sound, the arrows that kept shooting suddenly stopped.

Before the people could react, the arrows shot out almost simultaneously landed on the giant tree dozens of zhang away, only to see that the big tree seemed to be suddenly hit by a huge force, a violent trembling, and then, thousands of leaves fell from the sky, fluttering, extremely spectacular.

Looking at the nine sharp arrows with black arrow feathers showing a vertical line on the trunk of the tree, people were stunned and couldn't help but gasp.

In the midst of that lightning and flint, Zhou Sen actually shot out nine sharp arrows, which was really incredible. People's eyes moved from the trunk to Zhou Sen, and there was a look of awe in their eyes.

At all times, the strong are able to gain enough respect.

Zhou Sen shrugged his shoulders and raised the broken horn bow in his hand, with a look of frustration.

"Brother Hao, this bow won't work."

"The bow can't work, you can!" Brother Hao spit out two words heavily, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds.

The atmosphere suddenly became warm, and people's emotions became high, as if people saw the scene of King Zuo Xian being killed by an arrow......

……

Brother Hao also swept away the gloom, however, he was not as excited as others, because he knew that this assassination task was important, and it was by no means something that a master of archery could do, if the task was as easy as people imagined, King Zuo Xian would have died a long time ago.

Of course, Brother Hao did not put forward his own opinion, he had already sensed Zhou Sen's good intentions, Zhou Sen was using his proud archery skills to unite people's hearts and make this originally fragmented team unite.

That night, instead of rushing to the road, the people set up camp on the spot and began to discuss the next steps.

In order to maintain everyone's enthusiasm, Brother Hao began to assign tasks to everyone, and even taught everyone some combat skills.

Zhou Sen saw that although Brother Hao had changed a lot on the surface, he actually didn't have much hope for the assassination mission, and between the two talking, Brother Hao vaguely revealed the idea of letting Zhou Sen and him escape from everyone.

Zhou Sen couldn't imagine that Brother Hao would have such an idea of escaping, but he quickly figured out the reason.

For Brother Hao, Zhou Sen is an uncarved piece of jade, just by virtue of his amazing archery skills, he can get the weight of the golden gourd god, if Zhou Sen is introduced to the golden gourd god, with the character of the golden gourd god, even if he turns his face with the people of the imperial capital, he will keep Zhou Sen. After saving Zhou Sen, Brother Hao naturally sat back and relaxed.

Zhou Sen has always wanted to come to the grassland to practice "war", and now he finally came out of the damn kitchen, and faced Brother Hao's reminder to knock on the side, just pretending to be stupid, Brother Hao was helpless.

Actually, Zhou Sen still wronged Brother Hao.

Brother Hao was able to serve as the leader of this "Thunder Operation", he had long been disregarding life and death, and he wanted to escape with Zhou Sen, mainly because he cherished talents, and did not want Zhou Sen to die in vain in this assassination operation that had no possibility of success.

Brother Hao is now suffering because with his identity, it is inconvenient to take the initiative, and he is afraid that Zhou Sen will mistakenly think that he is greedy for life and afraid of death and look down on him.
