The assassin did not appear again. A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Cang and the demon ants came back with an assassin. The power of words and spells that Chu Nan had blessed on him also dissipated. Zhou Cang felt as if he was seriously ill.
The feeling of his strength disappearing instantly made him a little uncomfortable.
"Lord, why don't you just say that the assassin is dead?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan tiredly. Although it was good to follow the instructions, it seemed that he was using his own strength.
"Then if I say that all the enemies are dead, there will be no need to fight anymore?" Chu Nan glanced at him and didn't want to argue with this retarded person. If he really wants to be so powerful, the world has long been Confucian.
Still need to fight?
Zhou Cang scratched his head and did not dare to ask any more questions. He dropped the assassin in his hand and said, "My lord, the assassin who came this time is extraordinary!"
After using five losers to test first, the real killer can actually avoid the ubiquitous surveillance of the monster ants and mantises. Moreover, whether it is the assassin who shoots arrows outside or the assassin who strikes later, not only are they very skilled, they even have supernatural powers. If they fight head-on,
, Zhou Cang is naturally not afraid, but the assassin will obviously not confront you head-on.
"People sent by Cao Cao." Chu Nan glanced at the archer at his feet and took the crossbow arrows from Zhou Cang with a very firm tone.
The assassin suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Nan in astonishment.
"Don't be surprised. In fact, it doesn't matter who sent it." Chu Nan looked at the crossbow. Although he didn't ask any questions just now, he could clearly hear the voices of these people.
I originally thought it was the Chen family who jumped over the wall in a hurry, but now it seems that Cao Cao is also targeting him?
But why would Cao Cao target himself?
Chu Nan couldn't understand. With Cao Cao, he should be just a parallel importer who only knew how to talk. Chu Nan couldn't understand this problem, and Cao Cao himself couldn't understand it either.
"Fengxiao, why do you want to kill Chu Nan?" Xuchang, Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia who was drinking, frowned and asked: "This man has no great talent."
"But to Lu Bu, this person may be more important than Chen Gong, a great scholar!" Guo Jia drank wine and smiled casually.
"Because he is Lu Bu's son-in-law?" Cao Cao frowned.
"For this reason, my lord, have you discovered that since having this son, Lu Bu has begun to be able to distinguish right from wrong, and he is more decisive than before!" Guo Jiadao: "From alienating the Xuzhou nobles headed by the Chen family, to wooing the poor and common people from all over the country, Lu Bu
The ideas were concise and clear, and seemed random, but it was precisely because of these seemingly random decisions that Xuzhou gradually gathered power in Lu Bu's hands."
"This boy is so ordinary, but he is so useful?" Cao Cao heard this and said with a smile.
"The most important thing is that Lu Bu will listen to what he says! And he trusts this person very much!" Guo Jia leaned back: "He may not be talented, but he can make Lu Bu accept Chen Gong's words, and he has never been
I understand very well, how can my lord conclude that this person has no talent?"
"I don't know anything about it. I only know a few principles of business, but I still try to use them in governing the country." Cao Cao recounted the test he and Cheng Yu had given to Chu Nan that day.
"It is true that learning without talent is true, but if you say you have no talent..." Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "My lord, what is the inevitable connection between intelligence and talent and learning? If we talk about talent and learning, let me not compare it to Kong Wenju, a minister of the Manchu Dynasty, just pull it out at will
One person may be ten times better than me."
"Fengxiao means..." Cao Cao was startled and looked at Guo Jia.
"My lord is in the middle of the game and has never seen this person as scary." Guo Jia said leisurely: "Business is not a small way, but this person used business to break the inherent situation in Xuzhou, divide the noble clans, and take back the cultivated land. Every step this person made
, all have very strong purposes, and are quite capable of taking advantage of Lu Bu's advantages to maximize their success, and successfully suppress the major clans in Xuzhou without causing chaos in Xuzhou, and also use their interests to influence the princes, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu and even Jiangdong.
His influence has solved the dilemma in Xuzhou, has my lord discovered that the princes from all over Xuzhou no longer hate Lu Bu as much as before?"
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this. He really didn't care about this. Although Lu Bu was strong, the combination of counselors and generals would not be difficult to deal with Lu Bu alone. But... when did this reckless man know how to combine vertical and horizontal forces?
"He has a very thorough understanding of people. Even now, celebrities all over the world are scolding him. Liu Biao has publicly declared that the world will no longer ally with Lu Bu. However, as far as Jia knows, there have never been fewer cargo ships from Jingzhou to Xuzhou. My lord
, this is Shang! In my humble opinion, people can have many flaws, but as long as they are good at one thing, they are considered talents. Otherwise, they are like Kong Wenju, who is full of knowledge, but does not achieve any real results in the country and the people.
What's the benefit?" Guo Jia smiled.
Cao Cao nodded silently. He was pretty good at judging people. When he first met Chu Nan, he just thought that this person could only show off his words. In fact, he had no ideas. Apart from a good skin and a good tongue, he had no other talents.
.
business?
In this era, business was not on the stage, but Cao Cao did not expect that this little guy with a business background could actually use business on the chessboard of the princes' game, and made great achievements.
Guo Jia is right. Chu Nan, who seems to be ordinary, is indeed a talent, and he is not a small talent. Cao Cao had already noticed this when Chu Nan left Xuchang, but he did not expect that this little man could be so big.
effect.
"Why not try to recruit such a talented person?" Cao Cao sighed.
"We can't hold it back. Now our army must attack Yuan Shu first. Looking at Xuzhou's layout, it is obvious that we want to take advantage of our army's attack on Yuan Shu to completely annihilate the Chen family and seize Guangling. Lu Bu's men can now unite a group, all because of
If this person, this person dies, the hearts of Lu Bu's subordinates will be dispersed. Then Lu Bu will not be afraid even if he captures Guangling. On the contrary... Lu Bu becomes powerful, and after the Lord Fair decides Yuan Shu, it will be difficult for him to plan to capture Xuzhou!" Guo!
Jia shook his head and said.
Killing one person can turn the situation around, why not?
As for Chu Nan’s talent, so what? It can’t be used by me, and it will also offend the nobles in the world. Killing Chu Nan will not only bring no impact on Cao Cao’s reputation, but if done properly, it can also indirectly help Cao Cao’s rise.
People want it, why not do it?
Cao Cao nodded, and Cheng Yu frowned and said, "It's just that various tribes in Xuzhou have assassinated this person before, but none of them survived. I'm afraid this matter is difficult to accomplish."
Guo Jia was very clever with this method of assassination. Xuzhou nobles assassinated Chu Nan countless times. Of course, these people did not assassinate Chu Nan as many times as Guo Jia thought. This was mainly because Chu Nan was the main executor and initiator of the assassination at that time.
It's not easy for Lu Bu, but it's much easier to kill Chu Nan, who has no strength. This was the original idea of the Xuzhou nobles. However, there seems to be a mysterious power around Chu Nan, and it actually orders everyone who goes to assassinate him to kill him.
There is no news, I heard that even the body has not been found.
"Everyone who goes this time never makes a mistake." Guo Jia picked up the wine glass and said casually.
"It's him?"
…
Over at Xiapi, after sending everyone away, Chu Nan looked a little solemn.
"All the assassins have been arrested, why is my husband so frowning?" Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan in confusion.
"This is just a test." Chu Nan shook his head: "Behind these people, there is a powerful assassin who is coordinating the overall situation. This person has helped Cao Cao assassinate enemies many times and has never failed."
Chu Nan did not hide anything from his mother-in-law, and shared with his wife what he had just heard from these assassins.
Assassins can basically only be defeated once. Just like today, failure is the end of life for assassins.
However, an assassin who has carried out assassination missions countless times but is still alive is a bit scary. From the voices of these people, even the assassins who carried out the assassination plan did not know who the other person was. This made Chu Nan feel like a man.
Back feeling.
Lao Cao really thinks highly of himself, and this method is too underhanded, right? Just because he has a bad reputation, he doesn't need to follow the rules of the world, right?
Chu Nan secretly hated that this generation of heroes really didn't follow any rules.
Lu Lingqi'e frowned slightly and said softly: "I will protect you day and night by your husband's side."
Chu Nan looked at his wife and nodded silently. His mother-in-law was one of the best in martial arts and talent. With her by his side, his sense of security improved a lot.
"It's night, let's get some rest. Madam will accompany me to the mulberry garden tomorrow. Our equipment needs to be upgraded," Chu Nan Surong said.
The spoken method is time-sensitive, otherwise why would Chu Nan only say it for a moment? The longer the time, the weaker the effect. A quarter of an hour is almost the longest time that Chu Nan can maintain the effect of the spoken method.
This is because in Xiapi, his awe-inspiring Qi can be quickly replenished, and every utterance is his limit. If he is outside, he can only use two utterances with this effect, and the basket will be empty.
upgrade?
Lu Lingqi glanced at Chu Nan blankly, but she didn't ask any more questions and obediently lay back on the couch with Chu Nan.
This night, Chu Nan was unusually honest. It wasn't that he didn't want to do something, but no matter what he did now, Chu Nan felt like he was being spied on. If outsiders saw his wife's body, Chu Nan would never accept it.
.
In order to have a peaceful sleep, Chu Nan added a warning type to the entire Chu family. As long as an outsider enters, he will have a reaction. This type of warning does not consume much and can last for a day.
Early the next morning, Chu Nan woke up and did not go to the government office. Instead, he took Lu Lingqi and Zhou Cang to Xue Nian's mulberry field.
"Master Fu, why do you have time to come to my place today?" After Xue Nian got the news, he put down what he was doing and ran to see Chu Nan. They used to have similar backgrounds, but now they have different identities, so naturally it is difficult to match them by words.
"Find some silkworms. I want to make a batch of silk. I want the best ones!" Chu Nan said with a smile.
"This is not difficult." Xue Nian nodded and asked someone to bring a basket of silkworms for Chu Nan to choose from.
The silkworm's talent is relatively simple, that is, spinning silk, but this is also the talent Chu Nan values. After strengthening, the silk spun out will be stronger, and the clothes made will naturally be better. When the clothes are strengthened, the upper limit must be higher.
Both my wife and I need this kind of clothing.
Chu Nan did not stay here for long and left in less than a quarter of an hour. However, Xue Nian looked at the dozens of large silkworm chrysalises and fell into deep thought. Should he also find a refreshing pill to take?
