Chen Mo could tell that the relationship between Zhong Kui and Bai Zhenbei was very unusual, and the conversation just now confirmed this.
But he still didn't expect that the other party would actually say that he would risk his life to accompany him.
The feelings in it cannot be faked.
If that's the case, then what are you worried about?
After surviving a desperate situation, the first thing to do is to fight back. Compared with a gentleman who takes revenge ten years later, Chen Mo believes in the saying that revenge never lasts.
Of course, revenge must be planned and must not be done recklessly.
So in the following time, Zhong Kui introduced the situation, and Chen Mo also learned about everything here.
The fortress is divided into four camps, east, west, south and north, and there are four corresponding grain and grass officers. Hou Yong is one of them, who is fully responsible for the logistics and military supplies of the north camp. The official position is not very big, but the weight is quite important.
Hou Yong is a man of some ability, but he is too utilitarian and has done a lot of unscrupulous things over the years.
Although he didn't hug Xia Houzhen's lap, he clung to the relationship with the supervisory army. It can be said that he was prosperous.
It's like this in Beiying, and it's similar in other places.
Overall, the fortress is divided into three forces.
The first is the great general Xia Houzhen.
With real power in hand, it can control the wind and rain, and it is the absolute core of the fortress.
Secondly, there is the supervisory army.
The backstage of this person is the Prime Minister who is far away in the capital, and he comes here with the sacred mandate to exercise the power of supervision, so even Xia Houzhen has to sell some face.
Finally, there is the old department of Marshal Zhenbei.
These people have a common characteristic, that is, they have a straightforward personality and are good at fighting.
On the battlefield, it can be said that he is a tiger and wolf warrior, but once he is involved in a political situation, he becomes incompetent.
Every time they fight overtly or secretly, they will always be at a disadvantage. It can be said that they are full of cowardice.
Of course, the main reason is the issue of stance.
Both Xia Houzhen and the Supervisory Army who came here with the Holy Order are from the Zhuhe faction.
Although they belong to different forces, compared with the main militant faction, they are still able to temporarily put aside their conflicts and speak out with the same gun.
As a result, the marshal's old team became the target of suppression by both parties.
Today, it is extremely declining, and even has no spirit.
After hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but frown. He never dreamed that the situation in the fortress would be so complicated.
With internal and external troubles, it would be strange for the frontier army not to suffer defeat.
"Sir, I've said everything I need to say. What do you think is appropriate?"
Zhong Kui only recognizes that whoever holds the dagger is his backbone, and he is the kind who will go through fire and water without hesitation.
"Chen Mo, internal troubles are a bad thing for the border army, but for us, it may be an opportunity."
Huameishu has been spending time with Chen Mo recently, and his thinking has been subtly affected.
She felt that she should take advantage of the competition between the three parties, but she didn't know how to start.
"You are right, this is indeed an opportunity."
Just as Huameishu thought, Chen Mo would not let go of this starting point.
The difference is that he has already figured out a rough countermeasure.
"Brother Zhong, let me ask, how is Yang Qi doing now?"
The sound of the bell further brought the two of them closer.
Zhong Kui rarely smiled, but then he became worried again.
"Yang Qi arrived half a day later than the stipulated time, so someone took the opportunity to make a move. Fortunately, someone was with him, so he only received thirty military sticks."
"Thirty military sticks?" Chen Mo was shocked, "How is it? Is the injury serious?"
"It's more serious." Zhong Kui took a breath. "After all, those who carry out punishments will not be soft-hearted at all. However, the military doctor has checked it and found that there is no real injury to the muscles and bones. He will be able to get off the ground after lying in bed for about half a month."
"Are they too cruel?" Hua Meishu said indignantly, "The reason why this trip is late is entirely because..."
Shhh…
Before Huameishu could finish speaking, Chen Mo quickly signaled to shut up.
"Sir, did something happen on the way here?" Zhong Kui asked.
"It's a long story. I'll explain to Brother Zhong later that the first priority is to get out of here first." Chen Mo did not tell the truth.
First of all, time is tight.
Secondly, he still didn't dare to completely believe Zhong Kui.
Even if Chen Mo believes that the relationship between Zhong Kui and Bai Zhenbei is true, there is no guarantee that he is worth entrusting his life to.
What if it was a play?
People are separated from each other, who can guarantee that he has not completely surrendered to Hou Yong?
Zhong Kui didn't seem to think much, but in fact, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He knew clearly in his heart that Chen Mo was prevaricating.
Of course, even if he understood this meaning, Zhong Kui would not be dissatisfied at all.
If it were Chen Mo, he would be more careful.
From now on, just slowly talk to each other.
"Sir, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. The man named Hou has given a death order and you will never be allowed to leave Beiying."
"What about you?" Chen Mo said thoughtfully, "Are you confident if you go out to report the news?"
"No." Zhong Kui responded without thinking, "There are eyeliners everywhere. It's very difficult for me to get out."
"In this case, we can only act." Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully.
"Sir, please arrange it. All I can do is implement it to the end."
"good."
Chen Mo nodded, motioned for Zhong Kui to come closer, and then explained carefully.
At the end, Chen Mo solemnly expressed his gratitude.
"The success or failure of the matter depends entirely on Brother Zhong. The lives of me and Mei Shu are also entrusted to you."
"Don't worry, sir. If this doesn't work out, I will commit suicide and apologize."
After finishing his words, Zhong Kui straightened his body.
At the same time, the big hand also waved out.
The table was overturned and a mess was made, with wine and food spilled all over the floor.
Then, Zhong Kui scolded him angrily.
"Chen, don't be shameless. If you don't tell the truth, you will never get out of here."
"I won't tell you, find someone who can make the decision." Chen Mo also yelled, "Unless you kill me, I will always have this attitude."
"Mom, if you challenge me, will I get your wish?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Kui drew out the long sword from his waist.
Woo...
As the curtain opened, a strong gust of wind blew in, along with two guards.
One of them rushed towards Chen Mo, while the other grabbed Zhong Kui's arm.
"Sir, please calm down and stop."
"Why, you dare to interfere with my affairs?" Zhong Kui raised his eyes.
"Master Hou once told me not to take action against these two people. If there is anything else, let's wait until the master comes."
"What do you mean, Lord Hou is here?" Zhong Kui was confused.
"Yes, my subordinates took it upon themselves to send someone to invite you." The guard quickly explained, "You just drew your sword and had to report it quickly."
"Okay, you have the guts." Zhong Kui said, inserting the long sword directly into the ground, "Then I will wait until the master comes before I take action."
"Do it, what hand do you do, and who do you do it to?"
Following the hurried questioning, Hou Yong hurried over.
