When senior military attachés from Liaodong Town arrived to meet Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen was still in a "coma".
Zhao Junchen's "coma" was naturally an act.
In the past six months, Zhao Junchen has been pretending to be sick, fainting, or losing strength from time to time, almost forming a path dependence.
This is because in the eyes of the world, Zhao Junchen was just a jester who was good at amassing money and was beaten by everyone. He was not something to be feared at all, so he was not subject to special precautions. Zhao Junchen's various plans were despised by all forces.
On the contrary, progress is rapid;
Now, Zhao Junchen's strength, high means, and deep scheming have gradually become the consensus of all parties. However, Zhao Junchen does not want to be the target of public criticism, and must find a way to show his weakness, so he always pretends to be weak.
The appearance of physical and mental overdraft can paralyze everyone and minimize the resistance caused by strict precautions from all parties.
At this time, Zhao Junchen had been moved to a small tent by the Liaodong soldiers. This tent was used by lower-level soldiers, so the conditions were quite simple. Zhao Junchen could only lie on a straw mat and was surrounded by layers of guards.
.
Inside the tent, Zhao Junchen closed his eyes and pretended to be dazed while secretly thinking about his follow-up plan.
"This time I 'escaped' early and returned to the Liaodong Army. In fact, I had no choice but to deviate from the original plan...
Although I had already speculated that during the period when He Yu was kidnapped, there would be division and chaos within Liaodong Town, and there would even be people eager to jump out and betray He Yu... But I never expected that Li Zehe would actually
He was so decisive and so capable. Not only did he quickly make up his mind to betray He Yu, but he also accomplished so many things in just two days...
If Li Zehe is allowed to continue acting like this, there will only be two endings in the end, either forcing those Liaodong senior officials who are loyal to He Yu to pull out all the stops, eradicate the roots, and eradicate all dissidents in Liaodong Town in one fell swoop. And my follow-up plan is also
Because of this, the chance of success will be greatly reduced; or, I can only watch Li Zehe fish in troubled waters, continue to seize power in Liaodong, and eventually become the biggest winner, and all my efforts and layout are just a wedding dress for him...
The power of Liaodong must be in my own hands, and I can neither return it to He Yu nor give Li Zehe an advantage! Therefore, I can only show up in advance and try to control the situation! Alas, after all, I am still a little underestimated
After seeing the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Liaodong Town, I didn’t expect that there would be an overly smart person like Li Zehe!”
Thinking of this, although Zhao Junchen pretended to be sleepy, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Later, Zhao Junchen continued to think: "Before entering Liaodong, I focused on researching the intelligence of several important figures in Liaodong Town, namely He Yu, Ximen Sheng, and Li Shijie. At that time, I felt that Ximen Sheng had a forbearing temper.
Tenacity cannot be underestimated!
My original plan was to take advantage of the opportunity of He Yu's kidnapping to secretly build momentum for Ximen Sheng and try to encourage a group of Liaodong officers to support Ximen Sheng as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. I even submitted a memorial to the imperial court to recommend Ximen Sheng.
Become an established fact!
In this way, when He Yu got out of trouble and saw that Ximen Sheng had replaced him as the new commander-in-chief of Liaodong, no matter how close the two brothers were, they would have no choice but to retreat and break up quickly. Both sides had their own problems.
Fans, if we are evenly matched, I can take the opportunity to grab the maximum benefit...
But now, because of Li Zehe, it not only ruined my planned plan, but also forced Ximen Sheng to strengthen his determination to maintain He Yu's power... It is really a headache! All plans must be scrapped and considered from the beginning!
If my prediction is correct, with Ximen Sheng's temperament, there is a high probability that he has murderous intentions towards Li Zehe at this time, and he will definitely eradicate all hidden dangers with thunderous force. Li Zehe, a smart man, is probably doomed...
But when the situation has developed to this point, I must try to protect Li Zehe. If I allow Ximen Sheng to get rid of him, Liaodong Town will be united again, and I will have no way to start...
What's even more troublesome is that Ximen Sheng, Shi Cheng and others will now suspect that I am the mastermind behind everything. Therefore, after I show up this time, I will most likely be placed under house arrest by them. It can be said that I jumped into the tiger's den on my own initiative.
, it is difficult to play a direct role while under house arrest, so you can only use careful means to play a role from the side!
But fortunately, I had left a few backup plans just in case, such as various hints to Fang Zhenshan, as well as the staff who stayed in the capital, and they would soon arrive in Liaodong.
With Ning Tieqi’s use... the situation will surely change even more soon!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen felt slightly relaxed.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tent.
Later, Zhao Junchen heard someone asking the Liaodong soldiers outside the tent: "Is Zhao Gechen here? Lead me to see him quickly!"
Obviously, the high-ranking military attachés from Liaodong Town finally arrived!
*
After a while, Li Zehe, Ximen Sheng, Shi Cheng, Li Shijie and others quickly entered the tent.
This tent was used by the military attache of Liaodong on the ground floor. Now not only Zhao Junchen was lying in it, but also several military attachés of Liaodong Town were squeezed in. Naturally, it seemed overcrowded, and even the air in the tent became much duller for a while.
.
But he said that after Li Zehe entered the tent first, he first saw Zhao Junchen lying on the straw mat, and then took a look at the environment inside the tent. He was immediately very unhappy and reprimanded: "What kind of status is Zhao Junchen, how can he be allowed to be here?"
Recuperating in such a cramped and crude tent? How do you do things?"
After hearing Li Zehe's reprimand, the Liaodong military attache responsible for protecting Zhao Junchen quickly explained: "Please forgive me, General Li, for Zhao Gechen passed out immediately after escaping from the dense forest. His lowly position and other people's status are so low that they dare not move at will."
If he moves, he is afraid that it will affect his physical condition, so he can only place it here... This is already the tent with the best conditions nearby!"
Li Zehe asked again: "How long has Zhao Gechen been unconscious? Did he wake up during this period? Did he find a military doctor to diagnose him?"
"Zhao Gechen passed out soon after escaping from the dense forest. He has not woken up yet. It has been about a stick of incense. I have sent someone to summon the military doctor, who will surely arrive soon!"
Hearing that the military doctors from Liaodong Town would appear soon, Zhao Junchen's heart moved, and he immediately groaned softly, his body shook slightly, and then he "woke up" at the right time.
Hearing the movement from Zhao Junchen's side, all the Liaodong military attachés quickly turned their eyes to observe, and then saw Zhao Junchen finally open his eyes and wake up faintly!
Zhao Junchen's acting skills are as good as ever, and he fully grasps the true reaction of a big man with a fierce personality and a soft heart after escaping from a gangster!
After Zhao Junchen opened his eyes, he first looked at the surroundings blankly. It seemed that his mind was not clear yet, but after a while, he seemed to finally recall the nightmare that had happened in the past few days. His body suddenly shrank and his expression
Frightened, they shouted: "Who are you? Where are the Liaodong Army? I remember I have escaped! Where is the Liaodong Army? Come and protect our pavilion! Come and protect our pavilion!"
All the Liaodong military attachés present originally suspected that Zhao Junchen was the mastermind behind all this, and thought that Zhao Junchen's escape at this time was another self-directed and self-acted act. However, when they saw Zhao Junchen's lifelike appearance,
After the realistic acting, for a while, everyone couldn't help but secretly doubt their initial judgment. Could it be that they had misunderstood Zhao Junchen?
Afterwards, Li Zehe didn't care whether Zhao Junchen's reaction was due to his superb acting skills or instinct. He just walked quickly to Zhao Junchen, put on a humble and concerned look, and comforted him: "Zhao Junchen, you are in a humble position."
It's Li Zehe, the general of Liaodong Town Middle Road! Please don't worry. You are indeed out of trouble now. You are outside the dense forest. There are thousands of elite Liaodong guards around you. You are safe and you no longer need to worry about any danger!
"
"Li Zehe? Are you Li Zehe? By the way, I remembered, I have seen you! You are Li Zehe, the general of Liaodong Town!"
The panic in Zhao Junchen's expression gradually dissipated, and he seemed to have gradually recovered from the confusion and drowsiness. When he talked about it, the joy of surviving the disaster gradually appeared on his face!
At the same time, Zhao Junchen also took the opportunity to observe Li Zehe carefully.
Zhao Junchen had met Li Zehe before, but his impression of Li Zehe at that time was that he was just a yes-man who followed He Yu's footsteps, and there was not much worth paying attention to.
But looking at Li Zehe now, perhaps because his plan to seize power is progressing smoothly, we can clearly see some signs of sharpness and high-spiritedness in his movements.
After secretly observing Li Zehe for a moment, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust deep in his heart.
Just like Ximen Sheng, Zhao Junchen also disliked this smart man Li Zehe.
In Zhao Junchen's view, Li Zehe's various actions in the past two days are not only eager for quick success and instant benefits, but also greedy and driven to the point of blindness! He is delusional about fishing in troubled waters and taking chestnuts from the fire with his small gains. He only focuses on the benefits and forgets the risks. Moreover, he
It was obvious that he wanted to betray He Yu, which was consistent with Zhao Junchen's short-term goal, but before taking action, he had completely thought about secretly communicating with Zhao Junchen and forming a tacit understanding, and he just went his own way!
Obviously, in Li Zehe's eyes, both He Yu, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Zhao Junchen, the assistant minister of the cabinet, are just pawns that can be used...
It can be said that although Li Zehe is smart, he has no idea how much he weighs. A truly smart person will never regard everyone as chess pieces and regard himself as the only player on the chessboard.
Especially not looking down upon big shots like Zhao Junchen and He Yu!
From this point of view, although Li Zehe is a smart person, after all, he is just a kind of cleverness that is not on the stage.
Zhao Junchen's dislike of Li Zehe is not only because of what Li Zehe has done in the past two days, which has seriously damaged Zhao Junchen's plan, but also because in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Li Zehe's "little cleverness" often
Much more disgusting than stupidity.
But on the surface, Zhao Junchen did not show his disgust. He just continued to act, his expression gradually filled with excitement and joy, and he confirmed to Li Zehe again: "I, I am indeed out of trouble? Is it completely safe?
"
Li Zehe nodded repeatedly and said: "Unless those ruthless bandits are all heavenly soldiers and generals, with our elite guards from Liaodong, you no longer have to worry about your safety!"
Zhao Junchen seemed to have finally regained consciousness. He swept away the previous depression and fear. After standing up with the help of Li Zehe, he laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! I know that God will never stop me! God will not stop me!"
I, Zhao Junchen, am a high-ranking minister in the court, and one person is inferior to ten thousand people. How could I fall into the hands of a group of thieves!"
After mentioning the word "thief", Zhao Junchen's expression gradually showed resentment, as if he was remembering all the humiliation he suffered during his kidnapping.
Then, Zhao Junchen patted Li Zehe hard on the shoulder and ordered in a loud voice: "You just said that there are thousands of elite Liaodong soldiers outside the dense forest? Okay! Send my military order, and all Liaodong soldiers will immediately attack the dense forest and kill all the soldiers in the forest."
Hunt and kill all those thieves! Remember to leave the leader of the thieves alive for me. If I can’t kill him with my own hands, it will be difficult for me to satisfy the hatred in my heart!”
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen was staggering to leave the tent. Judging from his posture, he actually planned to personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress the bandits in the dense forest.
Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, all the Liaodong military attachés in the tent were shocked!
You, Zhao Junchen, have escaped, but the whereabouts of He Yu, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, are obviously still unknown. In all likelihood, he is still controlled by ruthless bandits in the dense forest. If you lead the troops directly into the forest like this, those bandits will jump over the wall in a hurry.
What should I do if I tear up my vote?
Therefore, the Liaodong military attachés naturally did not dare to agree, and they did not bother to think about whether Zhao Junchen's performance was an act, and they quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Chairman Zhao, please calm down. This matter must be discussed in the long run. Don't act impulsively!"
"Zhao Gechen, you have escaped, but the fate of the Commander-in-Chief is still uncertain. If you attack directly into the forest like this, I am afraid that it will affect the safety of the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Please also inform Zhao Gechen, do you know the current situation of my Chief Soldier? If the Chief Soldier is still in the hands of those thieves, this matter must not be done!"
Hearing the dissuasion from the Liaodong military attaches, Zhao Junchen disagreed and said: "Generals, don't worry! I know best what the capabilities of those thieves are! They are no match for the imperial army! Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will definitely
It’s just looking at the wind and falling!
I understand that you are worried about General He's safety, but we are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, how can we compromise with those thieves? Don't worry, if something happens to General He, I will personally submit a memorial to the court, and your Majesty will
If I personally decree a memorial ceremony and reward for Mr. He, he must be given the title of wife and son-in-law, which is a great honor! Even if Mr. He has an accident, his death must be worth it!"
