"General Wang Tong, I am looking for you!" Wu Shuang came outside a tent at the Jianghuai Army Camp and shouted loudly into the tent.
Shi A, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and replied with complicated eyes: "Thank you, I'll be there later!"
"Hurry up, it looks like something big is going on!" After Wu Shuang said that, he turned and left.
Shi A looked at the top of the tent in a daze. Ever since he cut off Xiahou Dun's head, Shi A concluded that he might have been noticed by Chu Nan.
Since he disguised himself as Wang Tong, Shi A has gone through what happened in the past few months in his mind several times. Many details that he had not noticed before were revealed to him as he carefully recalled them during this period.
Once dug out.
For example, although Chu Nan valued him, he never summoned him alone like other generals. Another example was that every time he approached Chu Nan, the two monster insects he carried with him would immediately enter a state of alert.
This kind of vigilance was something Chu Nan never showed up when facing people like Wei Yan and Zhou Cang. If it was because of unfamiliarity at the beginning, then it would be like this for the next few months, which makes no sense.
.
And whenever he wanted to give up his identity as Wang Tong, Chu Nan would always give himself some opportunities to get close to him and to perform meritorious deeds, putting himself in a state of weighing and unable to extricate himself. Looking back now, those meritorious deeds are like
An invisible rope is tied around his neck, allowing him to be manipulated like a dog.
Until after killing Xiahou Dun last time, Chu Nan seemed to have suddenly forgotten his existence. He left himself in the camp and was never summoned again. He was allowed to stay in a corner of the camp every day and watch the opponent grow stronger.
During this period of time, he had not thought about leaving, but whenever this thought came to his mind, another thought would quickly arise: Where can he go if he leaves?
No matter how Xiahou Dun died, he inflicted the last blow and cut off his head by himself. The news spread for some reason, and Lu Zhao apparently believed that he was the murderer that day.
He secretly left the camp several times to determine his current situation.
As a result, all the previous contact methods were now invalid, and he even noticed that someone was stationed there, apparently wanting to round him up.
It's self-evident what Cao Cao's attitude is. He obviously can't go back there, but Chu Nan found out his identity but ignored him. This feeling made him uneasy, and every day seemed like a year.
Prisoners awaiting execution.
In fact, it’s not that I haven’t thought about going to the other princes, but there are many problems. I have to start all over again, and there are many problems that need to be solved. What I am good at is assassination rather than fighting. This identity is destined to be unpopular among other princes; secondly,
Can you really guarantee safety when you come and go to other princes? Or will other princes offend Cao Cao for themselves?
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a close relationship. If Cao Cao opens his mouth, will Yuan Shao tolerate him? Looking at the world, besides Yuan Shao, how many people can resist Cao Cao?
Of course, Shi A can also choose to live in seclusion in the mountains, but that is not the life he wants. He has the strength and can fight for himself, so naturally he is not willing to live in seclusion.
He likes to live in prosperous places, likes the pleasure of spending huge sums of money every time he kills people, and likes the feeling of wandering on the edge of life and death when committing murders. No matter which hobby he likes, it seems that it has nothing to do with retreating to the mountains and forests.
In the past few days, Shi'a has been struggling with where to go. He is still young and has not yet enjoyed the prosperity of the world. Naturally, he does not want to go into seclusion. However, he seems to have nowhere to go except Chu Nan. He continues to work for Chu Nan.
This always feels weird in my heart.
At this time, he suddenly received a summons from Chu Nan. For some reason, Shi A suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally. It seemed that the problem that he had been struggling with for a long time was suddenly solved at this moment, and he felt like he could see the sun from the clouds.
No matter what happens, a result is always better than no result.
It is difficult to escape. In this case, then face it, any result will be acceptable.
At that moment, Shi A raised his sword, thought about it and put it down again. He stood up and walked out of the camp empty-handed. He went straight to the outside of Chu Nan's camp. After tidying up, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to see Wang Tong, the last general."
"Come in!" Chu Nan's familiar voice sounded in the camp.
Shi A lifted the curtain and walked in. What he saw in front of him made him a little surprised. Chu Nan was the only one in the tent. Although the two little ones were still there, compared to the previous meeting, the most important thing was those two little ones.
There was no arrogance as usual, and this time it was quite close.
"See you, envoy!" Shi A didn't dare to think too much and saluted Chu Nan.
Chu Nan looked at Shi A carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I called you here today because there is something important for you to do."
"Please give me your orders." Shi A bowed and said.
"But before that, we need to confirm the identity of the general." Chu Nan looked at Shi A and said with a smile.
identity?
Shi'a's heart sank, and he looked at Chu Nan's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything. They both looked at each other, and then Shi'a lowered his head slowly: "What do you mean by these words?"
"The person standing in front of me now is Assassin Shi A? Or General Wang Tong?" Chu Nan looked at Shi A and asked with a smile.
really!
When Chu Nan revealed his identity to his face, Shi A was not too surprised. He had vaguely noticed that Chu Nan had discovered his identity, but for some unknown reason, he kept silent. At this time, Chu Nan took the initiative to reveal his identity.
, naturally it will not be surprising.
"I wonder when your Majesty found out?" Shi A didn't take action. Now, he has no reason to take action against Chu Nan.
"You and I saw through it the first time we met." Chu Nan said with a smile: "I am good at the art of looking at Qi. If you come here with murderous intentions, you will naturally not be able to escape my eyes."
"That's it!" The confusion that had been lingering in my mind was finally solved. There really are all kinds of weird talents in this world! Shi A nodded and said to Chu Nan: "I don't know what I want to do with you.
?”
"I don't know the benefits of working for Cao Cao, but now I want you to tell me the benefits of working for me." Chu Nan did not answer, but looked at Shi A's doubtful eyes and said calmly: "I am going to establish an ANBU.
As the deputy envoy, you are the deputy envoy, with a rank equivalent to 1,200 stones. You can supervise hundreds of officials. If necessary, you can kill them first and then report them!"
Shi A's expression changed when he heard this. The salary of the ANBU inspector was not high, but his power was great. He had been in Xuchang for a long time and he knew the officialdom quite well. He knew very well what it meant to supervise hundreds of officials.
As for why it was the deputy governor and not the chief, Shi A was not stupid enough to ask. The chief governor obviously had to be someone close to him, otherwise the ANBU would easily escape control.
"In addition, both weapons and armor are of the highest quality. If you get married, your family will be best protected. In addition, this kind of monster..." Chu Nan pointed to the monster ant on his shoulder: "As long as you have enough credit,
You can choose one and come to me to get it, and even if you have enough merits, I can consume a lot of luck like strengthening this monster, allowing you to gain greater strength!"
Shi A suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Nan, a little unbelievable. Can a person do this kind of thing?
But seeing the monster on Chu Nan's shoulder, she couldn't help but believe it.
"Of course, the general can also return to Cao Cao, but as far as I know, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. Although you were not the one who defeated Xiahou Dun, you were the one who killed him. If you return to Cao Cao, can you still gain Cao Cao's trust? Even if you can
, I don’t believe Cao Cao will use you as much as I do.”
Hearing this, Shi A laughed and cried in his heart. This envoy had really planned every step to separate himself from Cao Cao step by step. It was only now that he had a showdown with himself when there was no possibility of returning to Cao Cao's side.
Chu Nan stood up, walked to him, looked at his tangled expression and smiled: "A loyal and righteous person is certainly admirable, but you treat me as a soldier of the country, and I will repay you as a soldier of the country. General, think about it, is Cao Cao worthy of the general's treatment?"
Loyalty repaid?"
Shi A's eyes flashed with memories when he heard this. He had gone up a pole to ask for Cao Cao's name. Although Cao Cao had always been kind to him, but now he thought about it, he was just a dog to Cao Cao.
Is it worth dying for?
For some reason, the moment I thought of Cao Cao, disgust filled my chest, and I even had the urge to wish Cao Cao would die. Looking at Chu Nan again, I felt more and more comfortable. I don't know when the balance in my heart began to move towards Chu Nan.
Fall down.
"I wonder...what will my lord do?" Shi A didn't hesitate for too long, exhaled and made his final choice.
"There is a list here. The general is proficient in the art of disguise. He can enter Xuchang and look for these people. I need these people to help us weaken a city defense when our army attacks Xuchang. Of course, they can choose not to, but
These evidences will soon be spread throughout Xuchang!" Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction when he saw Shi A changed his mind, and opened two files. One was the list, and the other contained detailed records of many things that happened during the expansion of Xuchang.
Interesting thing, this thing can kill people in Xuchang!
"How to do this perfectly can be regarded as a test for the general." Chu Nan looked at the silent Shi A and said with a smile.
"General, take your orders!" Shi A clasped his fists, saluted Chu Nan, then turned and left.
Looking at the direction Shi A was leaving, Chu Nan did not put his hope in him alone. This time was indeed a test for Shi A, but it was about success or failure. After all, Shi A was an outsider and did not have a high sense of belonging, so this time
Regarding the matter, Chu Nan prepared a back-up force for the grain route, one at Shi'a's place and the other at Dong Cheng's side.
If Shi A can use it, Chu Nan will naturally not waste any time, but if Shi A can't help him break the city in the end, then Dong Cheng will become crucial.
However, Chu Nan still hopes that Shi A can pass the test. Such a talent with unique talents is useful in many things. It would be best if he can be loyal to him. Chu Nan has even thought about how to use this person.
