Chapter 145: Decision
Chen Tian slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and after getting up and stretching, Chen Tian pushed open the door and walked out.
He kept walking out of the courtyard and came to Kan Jie's residence to find the three of them, Kan Yue was afraid of disturbing Chen Tian last night, so he didn't take Xiaoyu back, but took Xiaoyu to Kan Yue's courtyard for one night.
When Chen Tian walked into the courtyard, Kan Yue and Kan Jie were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard chatting, while Xiaoyu was bored squatting in the corner of the courtyard looking at the ants.
Xiaoyu originally planned to go to Chen Tian early this morning, but Kan Yue told her that Chen Tian was resting and couldn't disturb him, she was convinced of Kan Yue's words, so she had to listen to Kan Yue's words and stay here obediently.
As soon as Chen Tian walked into the small courtyard, Xiao Yu in the corner felt his breath, glanced back, and confirmed that it was Chen Tianhou, Xiao Yu directly rushed into Chen Tian's arms.
Chen Tian took Xiaoyu to the stone table and sat down, Kan Yue asked softly, "How are you?" ”
"It's okay, I've fully recovered after a good night's sleep, and now I just feel full of strength." Chen Tian gave Kan Yue a reassuring look and said.
Then he looked at Kan Jie on the side and asked, "How is General Kan Jie's recovery?" ”
Kan Jie smiled and said, "It's okay anymore." ”
I don't know if she said that the physical injuries are okay or the mental ones are fine, Chen Tian didn't want to reveal her scars, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
As he spoke, Chen Tian noticed that Kan Jie had a very ordinary hairpin pinned to his head, just a hairpin carved from ordinary peach branches, with no other decoration except for a few patterns on the simple lines.
Chen Tian only glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and said slowly: "Presumably Yue'er has already told you that I have a very important matter to discuss with you today." ”
Kan Jie nodded and said, "I know, you can talk about it." ”
"Yesterday, when I went to Baicaotang to buy medicinal herbs, I met Emperor Yang Chong." Chen Tian said straight to the point.
"Emperor Yang Chong?" Kan Yue and the others both looked at Chen Tian together, obviously not expecting Chen Tian to say such a thing.
"What is he doing here?" Kan Jie asked.
"Come to us for cooperation." Chen Tian tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.
"Cooperation? What do you mean? Chen Tian's words made Kan Yue and the others even more confused.
"It's what he means on the surface, he wants to work with us to win the Panning royal family." Chen Tian said.
"What about the conditions? He couldn't have been so kind to help us! Kan Jie asked again.
"His condition is very simple, that is, we will form an alliance with him after we take control of the Panning Kingdom." Chen Tian replied.
"It's as simple as that? He's not going to set us up again! Kan Jie obviously didn't believe that Emperor Yangchong's conditions would be so simple.
Chen Tian shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, so I made an appointment with him for five days to ask you what you plan."
Kan Jie and Kan Yue were silent, they knew Emperor Yang Chong better than Chen Tian, they knew that he was a person who didn't play according to the routine, no one knew what he was thinking, and it was difficult to figure out his thoughts.
But they are also clear about the current situation, and now the remaining 100,000 troops can't resist the next attack of the royal family, and now they are on the cusp of a storm, and they seem to be in a dilemma.
After being silent for a long time, Kan Jie spoke: "Judging from the situation we are in now, cooperating with the Yang Chong Empire is the best choice, but it is difficult for the Yang Chong Emperor to figure out, and if he is not careful, he may be taken into a place of no return." ”
Chen Tian nodded, agreed, and said: "I have been with him for about an hour, although he looks harmless to humans and animals, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling, but he can sit as the God King, it is definitely not as simple as it seems. ”
"That's what worries me as well." Kan Jie said slowly, and then asked, "Is he still in Zhenguancheng now?" ”
Chen Tian shook his head and said, "He left Zhenguan City yesterday. ”
"Then how are you going to meet in five days?" Kan Jie asked again.
"I'll go to the Yangchong Empire to find him." Chen Tian did not hide it and told the truth.
"What? Absolutely not! Kan Jie was incredulous at first, and then directly objected, not letting Chen Tian go to the Yangchong Empire, after all, Emperor Yangchong was acting strangely, and Chen Tian's departure was no different from sending him to death.
Kan Jie also said: "Chen Tian, this matter has to be considered at your discretion, and you must not be careless. ”
Chen Tian had long expected the two of them to say this, and he didn't refute the two, but took out the token from the space ring.
Yesterday he didn't take a good look at the token, but after taking it out again today, he took a good look at it.
The token is engraved with the word 'Yangchong' on one side and the word 'Xiao' on the other, and it seems that this token should be very important to the Yangchong Empire.
Kan Yue and the others also saw the token that Chen Tian took out, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
Chen Tian put the token on the table, pushed it to Kan Yue's side, and said, "This is given to me by Emperor Yang Chong, saying that you can enter and leave any place in the Yang Chong Empire at will with it, and no one can stop me, and I don't know if it's true." ”
While Chen Tian was speaking, Kan Jie had already picked up the token on the table, and as soon as he glanced at her, his face changed, with an incredible look on his face, and asked, "Is this really given to you by Emperor Yang Chong?" ”
Chen Tian nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
"Do you know what this thing is?" Kan Jie asked again.
Chen Tian said casually: "I think it should be a token of Emperor Yang Chong or something, otherwise there will be no effect as he said!" ”
Hearing Chen Tian's answer, Kan Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This is not a token, but an emperor token, seeing the emperor token is like seeing the emperor, it can be said that you can mobilize all the troops of the Yangchong Empire for your use with this token." ”
Chen Tian was shocked beyond measure, and only after a long time did he ask, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Is this really what you call the Imperial Token? ”
Kan Jie said with certainty: "I will never be mistaken, this kind of token has one in each country, although the token of each country is different, but it is still roughly the same, I have seen the token of the Panning Kingdom, and this is extremely similar, so I am sure that this is the emperor token of the Yang Chong Empire." ”
Hearing Kan Jie's explanation, Chen Tian was somewhat convinced that this was the Emperor's Token, but what he couldn't understand was that Emperor Yang Chong would hand over such an important thing to himself, did he trust Chen Tian too much, or did he have enough confidence in the Yang Chong Empire?
Chen Tian was really a little confused for a while, and he really couldn't understand Emperor Yang Chong more and more.
The more Chen Tian thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt, so he asked Kan Jie unwillingly: "Is it possible that this emperor token is counterfeit, that is to say, this token in our hands is a fake token." ”
Kan Jie shook his head and said: "Impossible, this emperor token is passed down from the first generation of emperors, when each generation of emperors succeeds to the throne, the previous emperor will personally hand it over to the new generation of emperors, as long as it is carried by the emperor for a long time, there is a unique aura on the token, which cannot be imitated." ”
"And the materials used to make this token are very rare, even if you want to imitate it, you can't find the right material."
Chen Tian didn't expect that there were so many ways in this small token, and it seemed that there was really no way to imitate it, which means that this fast token was indeed real.
Just as Chen Tian was pondering, Kan Jie said again: "This Emperor Yang Chong actually handed over all the Emperor Tokens to you, it seems that he really intends to cooperate with us." ”
"Even if this is the case, Chen Tian must not go to the Yangchong Empire, this is too risky." Even so, Kan Jie still did not agree with Chen Tian to go to the Yangchong Empire.
Kan Jie didn't speak anymore and handed the token in his hand to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Judging from our current situation, cooperating with the Yangchong Empire is the only way out, so I must go to the Yangchong Empire, and I must not sit still like this again." ”
"But..." Kan Yue was still not at ease, and wanted to say something, but Chen Tian shook his head at her and said: "I have to go this time, besides, since Emperor Yang Chong dares to hand over all the emperor tokens to me, it must not be unfavorable to me, so don't worry!" ”
At this time, Xiao Yu, who had been sitting quietly in Chen Tian's arms, suddenly said, "Big brother, I'll go with you." ”
Chen Tian reached out and touched Xiaoyu's head and said, "Okay! ”
"Chen Tian, you..." As soon as Kan Yue wanted to say something, Chen Tian gave her a look and shook his head slightly.
Kan Yue understood and didn't say anything more.
"When are you going to leave?" Kan Jie asked.
"Early tomorrow morning, the sooner this matter is, the better, even if we can't cooperate with the Yang Chong Empire, we still have enough time to make other preparations." Chen Tian said.
"Okay, then you be careful, if you can, try to negotiate cooperation, even if there is a risk, we have no choice, there is not much time left for us." Kan Jie said slowly.
"I know that I can only solve the current problem now, and then plan for the future." Chen Tian nodded and said.
After making a decision, Chen Tian and Kan Yue Xiaoyu left Kan Jie's small courtyard and went straight back to their residence, all three of them were silent all the way, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until he returned to the small courtyard that Kan Yue stopped, looked back at Chen Tian and said, "You must be careful when you go this time, don't be careless, come back as soon as you negotiate, I'll wait for you here." ”
Chen Tian stretched out his hand and gently took Kan Yue into his arms, and said softly: "I promise, no matter whether it can be negotiated or not, I will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Yu was suspended on the side, tilted her head to look at the two of them, pursed her lips, and then ran to the corner of the small courtyard to play by herself.
Kan Yue glanced back at Xiao Yu, who was picking flowers by the wall, and whispered to Chen Tian, "What are you going to do over there, Xiao Yu?" ”
