Chapter 328 - Revealing Identity
Hearing Gordon speak, Lao Chen's eyes remained vigilant, he was silent for a moment, rubbed his hands and responded: "Since the general has Yaxing, it doesn't hurt for Lao Chen to accompany the general to drink a few glasses."
When Gordon heard this, he finally changed his cold expression, smiled again, got up and said with a smile: "That's it, with Lao Chen by my side, I can drink with confidence."
While the two were talking, the kitchen officer Lao Jin had already sent his own soldiers outside the hall to spread the word, bluntly saying that the wine and food had been prepared, Gao Deng laughed, stepped forward, took Lao Chen's arm, ignored it, and shouted loudly: "I've been hungry for a long time, hurry up and call Lao Jin to serve food and wine."
Soon after the order was issued, the kitchen officer Lao Jin led a group of soldiers to serve the prepared wine and food on the table, Lao Chen didn't know what hysteria the straw bag general had committed today, so he had to drag himself to drink, but he was still patient and sat next to him.
Waving his hand to send everyone away, Gao Deng got up, paced to Lao Chen's side, poured him a full cup of spirits, and said with a smile, "Lao Chen has been with me for many years."
Lao Chen hurriedly got up and held up the wine cup, and replied with a smile: "Since the general entered Yanbei, he has been following the general."
Gordon laughed at himself and said: "A certain is a bad person, since he entered Yanbei, he has accumulated wealth and disturbed the people, and he has done all kinds of evil, and you have also borne a lot of infamy for the harmful old Chen, so I respect you."
Lao Chen was busy about to excuse himself, but he saw that Gordon had already raised his head and raised his head, and the liquor was in his stomach, so he had to grit his teeth and drink all the wine in his cup, but before he put down the wine cup, he saw that General Gao had already brought the wine cup and came again: "This second cup is the happy event that Shi Cai said, and he finally eradicated the bandits, and lived up to the trust of the saint..."
The words came out, the altar was poured, and the wine came out, and Lao Chen's cold sweat also appeared, and he hurriedly said: "Lao Chen is just a medical officer, I don't know what the general is talking about..."
"Bang-" Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of the wine jar slamming on the table.
As he put down the wine jar, Gordon had already drunk the second wine, and when he put down the wine cup, he also took the opportunity to put one hand around Lao Chen's shoulder, and said next to Lao Chen's ear: "I, Gordon, since I joined the army, have always thought about sharing worries for Qi Yun and our saints. But how can we, the saints, trust a minister whose own brother is wavering..."
After finishing speaking, he patted Lao Chen on the shoulder, got up slowly, went to look for the wine jar again, turned around for a moment, and Lao Chen, who was still frightened and had cold sweat on his forehead, has changed as a person.
At this time, Lao Chen's face was calm, he didn't see panic, his eyes swept over Gao Deng, who was pouring wine for himself, and he looked at it fixedly for a moment before he retracted his gaze and slowly spoke: "The general has known for a long time."
Gordon smiled, saw that the old Chen Zhan was full of wine, took back the wine jar, and replied, "Yes."
"When did you find out?" Lao Chen didn't understand how he had found out about being a straw bag general after he had been by his side for many years, and he boasted that he had never shown a single flaw.
"It was just a guess before, but you have confirmed that what I expected is good." Gordon's slightly drunken face showed a scheming smile.
Hearing this, Lao Chen's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly regained his calm, no longer getting up to drink as before, but slowly pushing the wine cup in his hand to the side, looking sideways at Gordon, his eyes revealing a fierceness that was difficult to look at directly.
This look, not to mention ordinary people, even those who practice martial arts can see it, and they will also retreat, but I didn't expect Gordon to dodge it, and looked at Lao Chen calmly.
Seeing Gordon's grinding appearance, Lao Chen felt a little panicked in his heart, first looked away, glanced around, probed again and again, and secretly said in his heart: "What is this Gordon going to do, is he rebellious?"
In a panic, he couldn't help but secretly luck his true qi, and probed whether the wine he drank was poisonous, and the hand hidden under the table had already retracted into his sleeve, and in an instant, when he came out of his sleeve, he had a few slender silver needles between his fingertips, but before Lao Chen wanted to prick the acupoint with a silver needle, he blocked the acupoint in advance, in case he drank the poison in the wine, but he heard Gordon on his side speak again.
"Lao Chen must be thinking in his heart, since he is a minister, even if he knows in his heart that the saint has placed someone to monitor him, he will not be so grandiose, is this Gordon crazy? Or do you want to rebel?" Gordon held the wine cup in his hand, paced slowly in front of the table, and continued to speak.
"Just rest assured, with Lao Chen's martial arts realm and medical skills, don't say that I am the only one in this hall, and I will be transferred to a battalion to patrol now
Soldier, who can stop you?"
Lao Chen's eyes were full of vigilance, and he had been by his side for many years, although he knew that this straw bag general was not as bastard as outsiders saw, but he didn't expect him to have such wisdom and see so thoroughly, and he couldn't help but think of his words of advice when he was leaving.
"This time to Yanbei, you have to watch Gordon firmly for me, if he dares to secretly communicate with the Northern Jin Dynasty, he can cut it first and then play."
His eyes flashed, flashing that when Gordon returned to the camp to transfer troops that day, he received the secret decree and secretly put the secret decree passed on to Gordon into his room... In the flash of the will given to him, he ordered himself to secretly assist Gao Deng to capture Yan Qingchuan, not to let him help King Ning, and to lure out all the bandits hidden in Yanbei and eliminate them with all their might.
Thinking of this, I can't help but be secretly frightened, not only for Gordon but not to live up to the saint's trust, but also shocked that the saint has far-reaching plans, and even more ruthless, he actually uses his own son as bait...
Retracting his thoughts, he looked at Gordon in front of him, what the hell was he going to do when he pierced this layer of sandpaper.
Old Chen's uncertain expression fell into Gordon's eyes, and he slowly paced to the table, moved the wine cup that he pushed away back into his hand again, and said with a smile: "It's good for the Holy Lord to let you look at me, or let you help me capture Yan Qingchuan and prevent him from returning to His Royal Highness King Ning, but it's not just as simple as trying to eradicate the bandits in Yanbei."
The pupils shrank suddenly, even if Lao Chen was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't want to listen, not because he didn't want to, but he didn't dare, but at this moment, his heart was in chaos, the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, even if he had just drunk wine, he felt that his whole body was cold and abnormal, and the sound of Gordon sounded in his ears.
"You have been in the Yanbei Army for many years, so naturally you have heard of that poem." Without waiting for Lao Chen to react, Gordon continued to speak.
One word and one sentence, like hitting the heart: "The colorful poisonous array is proud of the north of the wild goose, the soul of the general who has no return does not return, and he has killed millions of soldiers, and the crescent moon is still bloody."
Suddenly raising his eyes, Lao Chen couldn't help but murmur to Gordon's small eyes that were shining brightly: "You... You've found the Immortal Array?"
Gordon got up with a sneer, picked up the wine jar, poured a large sip of spirits, didn't care at all that the wine soaked and changed the muslin cloth to bandage the wound, reached out to wipe the wine from the corner of his mouth, and looked back and said, "Not only did I find the location of the immortal array, but also the method of breaking the legend of the immortal needle."
Lao Chen couldn't hold back any longer, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, "What did you say! But it's true!"
Gordon's eyes seemed to burst with an incomparably confident light, and he said word by word, "There is no lie."
"Where?" Lao Chen couldn't hold back the shock in his heart anymore and opened his mouth to ask.
Gordon stared at Lao Chen's eyes, and said calmly: "It's in Yanbei, it's in Mojun... Right here, in the county guard."
Lao Chen has no time to think about anything else, the legend is passed on by word of mouth in the Yanbei Army, even if you don't believe it, you can hear it for a long time, plus the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Holy Shang have the idea of mobilizing troops, but in the past eighteen years, there seems to be a tacit understanding, and there has never been a rash move, which also makes Lao Chen have to believe that this legend is true.
Now not only can I see the legendary immortal array, but I can also see the broken formation with my own eyes, how can I still have the heart to think about anything else.
When he wanted to ask again, he suddenly came back to his senses, and the saint handed over the matter of secretly spying on Gordon to himself that day, and he never said about it, that is, he didn't want to know about it, and now he knew about it, and he thought that the saint could use his own son as bait...
Not wanting to stay any longer, Lao Chen retreated timidly, just wanting to escape from the hall of the county guard in front of him, but before he could retreat a few steps, he heard the voice of the straw bag general behind him.
"Since so-and-so risked his life to tell you such secrets, could it be that if you want to escape, you can escape?"
As if he had been drained of all his strength by Gordon's words, this martial arts master, as if he had lost his internal strength, sat on the ground with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the tea, he came back to his senses and said to Gordon, "You have gone to great lengths to tell me these secrets, what do you want me to do."
Seeing that he had already made a plan, only one step away, Gordon knew that once he opened his next sentence, he would never be able to turn back, and he couldn't help but hesitate again, but he thought of the words in the mouth of the Son of Heaven, "The world is unified, and all generations will be peaceful", his eyes gradually firmed, and he stretched out one hand to the wine jar full of spirits on his side, dragged it over, raised his head, and "coo-to-goo"
Pour it all into your mouth.
When the liquor enters the throat, the alcohol surges, and the courage of "coercion" is strengthened.
"Bang", the wine is gone, the altar is empty, people will be drunk, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Gordon slowly got up, smashed the empty altar in his hand, and said word by word to the one who was sitting on the ground: "Pry open Yang Huchen's mouth, find out the picture, crack the mystery in the picture, assist my master, and go out of the north of the wild goose... Win the river... Take the capital of Jin... Van Nan Tang... The world is unified... Eternal Peace..."
At this moment, Lao Chen seems to have only met the "straw bastard general" in front of him for many years, he is a dignified martial arts master, if he compares with it, maybe the martial arts realm is higher than him, but if he talks about mind and courage, he is not as good as him.
So he settled down, thought for a moment, and then got up and said, "Okay, I'll help you." Look at the book
Gao Deng, whose face turned red, didn't expect Lao Chen to be so refreshing, and he prepared a lot of persuasion words, but none of them came in handy, and he thought that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but confirm: "You really want to help me?"
Lao Chen smiled, after so many years of laughing and smirking, he didn't smile so sincerely, and there was no hesitation, and he said cheerfully: "Of course... It's just a life, the general is not afraid, what am I afraid of, since the general is willing to risk his life to create a foundation for the saint for all generations, how can Lao Chen be reluctant to give up this cheap life."
Gordon looked up to the sky and smiled, "Okay... But I still have a question."
Lao Chen had already taken off his disguise and the burden on his heart at this moment, and immediately spoke: "If there is anything, just ask."
"After so many years, I only know that your name is Lao Chen, and who is your surname."
"Does the name matter?"
"It doesn't seem to be that important."
"You don't want to invite me to drink..."
"Uh... The wine is finished, old gold! Old Kim!" Gordon yelled.
The soldiers who were waiting far away outside the door, as well as the kitchen officer Lao Jin, could only hear the shouting of their own generals in the hall, and they didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly went inside to check.
"Go and bring a few more jars of wine, I won't get drunk with Lao Chen." Gordon seemed to be drunk, and slapped the table and yelled.
"Old Jin, didn't you hear the general's orders, go quickly." Medical Officer Lao Chen commanded with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, General Gao made a mistake, that is a common thing, how can today, the medical officer Lao Chen, who wants to be stable, also make a mistake, but no one dares to go against the will of his own general at this time, and when he was about to turn around and move wine, he heard a report from the soldiers outside the hall.
"General Gao, outside the county guard, Mo Shoumin asks to see..."
