Chapter 219: Cooperation
This passage was not very wide, but as he went deeper, Chu Mo found that there were dozens of such passages here.
The man in front of him walked like the wind, and was silent, barely saying a word. Chu Mo didn't feel surprised, real soldiers were actually almost like this. It's always more to do than to talk, and generally don't beat around the bush, let alone take the initiative to please anyone.
Soon, Chu Mo followed this person into a huge space. Chu Mo glanced at it and roughly estimated it in his heart, feeling that it was similar to the space that Fang Mingtong said. Heart: This should be the real passage.
This person did not take Chu Mo to continue deep into the passage, but turned to the side and came to the door of a small room.
"General, the messenger has brought. ”
"Please come in. A somewhat muffled voice came from inside.
Then, the door opened, and the man nodded to Chu Mo: "The general is inside." ”
Chu Moxin walked in, and when he saw it, there was a small wooden table, which looked a little old and a little old. Behind the table, sat a fifty-year-old man dressed in civilian clothes. The hair is a little gray, and there are many wrinkles on the face.
Seeing Chu Mo come in, the old man raised his head and glanced at him, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. probably didn't expect that the person sent by Fang Shuai would be so young.
"Sit down, the conditions here are not good, there is nothing good to entertain you. Fang Shuai said that you are your own person, since this is the case, I will not be polite to you. The old man said straight to the point.
"The general doesn't need to be polite to me, my grandfather is also a soldier. Chu Mo had a smile on his face and sat on an old wooden chair in front of the wooden table. But it's very comfortable to sit on.
"Soldiers' sons, you can feel that kind of temperament, it's good!" the old man nodded, and then said: "Fang Shuai told me in the letter that there is an important military situation here, and he wants me to do my best to cooperate with you. Put all command in your hands. ”
The old man said, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said, "It's not that I can't trust you, but these soldiers here...... Even if I command them to obey you. They are all professional soldiers, and although they can do it, they ...... But it's hard to do what ......you want to do! will not be convinced of you. Do you understand?"
Chu Mo nodded: "Old general, I didn't come here to grab power, I hope you and your soldiers can understand." This is a battle for the survival of Great Xia!"
The old man was slightly stunned and raised his head. looked at Chu Mo: "Fang Shuai didn't tell me what the matter was, only that it was important military information." This kind of place...... How could it become a place that was related to the life and death of Great Xia?" As he spoke, the old man muttered, "If you want to talk about the things in this place, it is related to the life and death of Great Xia...... It's pretty much the same. ”
Chu Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Between Great Qi and Great Xia, there will be a war, General, do you know?"
The old man glanced at Chu Mo: "Between Great Qi and Great Xia, there will be a battle sooner or later, I have known this for a long time." But what does it have to do with this?"
"The place is exposed. Chu Mo said directly: "Daqi over there." We must follow this passage and directly attack the hinterland of Great Xia!"
"What? this is impossible!" the old man stood up suddenly, and the powerful aura of his body burst out directly. His eyes were bright and cold, and he looked at Chu Mo coldly. Said: "Do you know...... Except for these people here, in the entire Great Xia, there are only three people who know about this! And the people here ...... It's been ten years since the day I came in...... I haven't left this place! They haven't been home for ten years!"
Chu Mo looked at the old man with a calm face: "General, it's one of those three people, something went wrong." ”
The old man looked at Chu Mo in disbelief. Stretched out three fingers and broke them down one by one: "Fang Shuai...... Impossible! Your Majesty...... Even more impossible!...... Is he crazy?"
"He's just crazy. Chu Mo said calmly. It was only at this time that Chu Mo understood why the emperor and Fang Mingtong directly believed his information. It turns out that the person who knows about this metastone vein ...... Less than he thought!
There were only three!
This is really, you don't need to rule it out, you can know who betrayed it......
"Before the prince, two eyes were gouged out...... Now I am blind in both eyes. Chu Mo looked at the old man: "General, so Prince Xia Ying is no longer the crown prince!
"No...... That's impossible...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is loved by all the people, how could he encounter such a great calamity?" The old man sat down on the chair with some distraction, and the momentum on his body completely disappeared: "Even if he encounters a great calamity, he ...... As a prince, he shouldn't have done such a crazy thing...... It shouldn't be!"
The old man didn't doubt Chu Mo's words, as a general guarding here, he was naturally an absolute confidant that the emperor and Fang Mingtong could trust!
Chu Mo is now holding Fang Mingtong's handsome tiger talisman and the emperor's secret decree and the sword of the Son of Heaven, so his identity will naturally not be fake. Coupled with Fang Mingtong's secret letter, he can already prove his identity completely.
He didn't have any other thoughts than thinking that Chu Mo was too young to convince the public.
But he really found it hard to believe that the future monarch in his mind would do such a crazy thing.
"General, now things have happened. It's not time to doubt its authenticity. Chu Mo looked at the old man and said, "The emperor said that the authoritative grandmaster who is proficient in mining and excavation is here." Can you introduce me to me first? I have something to explain to him. ”
The old man glanced at Chu Mo and sighed: "Didn't Fang Shuai tell you? That person is me!"
"What?" Chu Mo was slightly stunned, time was in a hurry, Fang Mingtong and the emperor really didn't tell him too much about the situation here.
"Back then, it was the old man who presided over the mining and excavation of this place. The old man is not a general, although he has some strength, but he is better at it...... But it's mining and digging. The old man glanced at Chu Mo with some despair: "The old man's name is Zhang Rong." ”
"It turns out that General Zhang is an expert in this area, which is really disrespectful. Chu Mo stood up, saluted the old man, and then said, "I must hold the military power here in my hands." But after this war, this military power will be directly returned to the general. Please rest assured that the general will be able to do this. ”
Zhang Rong smiled bitterly: "After this war, can this place still exist? Once the secrets here are leaked out, continuing to stay here is simply looking for death!"
Chu Mo said: "The general can rest assured that you have made great contributions to Great Xia! After this battle, the general will be a great merit in defeating the coalition forces of Great Qi." I haven't left here for ten years...... It's time to go home and check it out. ”
"Home...... yes, I'm so homesick!" Zhang Rong sighed. He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Chu Mo: "The emperor and Fang Shuai, since they value the prince so much, they will hand over this kind of military affairs to the prince." Naturally, I will fully cooperate. What exactly needs to be done, please ask the son to tell me!" (To be continued......)
