All eight thousand soldiers and horses were sent out, and the guards on Fenggao's side were indeed much weaker.
In addition to the 200-man guard led by Zhou Cang, there were only more than a thousand brave men newly recruited. It was possible for these people to build city defenses and help defend the city, but they could not gather a battle formation. It was a fool's errand to expect them to fight a big battle.
After sending Lu Qian away, Chu Nan, who returned to the Prefect's Mansion, was thinking about what would happen next. Could he lead out the dormant nobles first and let them take action first? Then he would have a reason to join forces and attack them.
Otherwise, these people hide in secret and remain silent. Once the enemy really comes, no matter how strict their defenses are, there will still be loopholes.
"The nearest assassin..." Chu Nan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhou Cang: "Why is it gone?"
Since the day before yesterday, it seems that no assassins have come to assassinate him anymore. For a while, Chu Nan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Uh..." Zhou Cang was also confused by this question and subconsciously replied: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"A good thing?" Chu Nan shook his head: "Now is the time to fight back. Without these assassins, how can we find out the employer behind the scenes?"
"Lord!" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan in astonishment: "Didn't I say before that there was no need to keep him alive? Do you know who sent the assassin behind the scenes?"
"It's one thing to know, but I didn't expect these people to be so tolerant at first!" Chu Nan sighed. At that time, he only thought that these people would violently resist like other places, so Chu Nan didn't care about what happened behind the scenes.
Who are they? Anyway, during this purge, their employer is probably going to be dead. If not, they will most likely not be able to hire any decent assassins in the future, so they don't take it seriously.
But now, Chu Nan regretted it. If he had known that one person would be left in each family, he would be able to use these assassins to take the initiative if the other party behaved like this.
It seems that the other party saw that the assassins were ineffective and had a better strategy, so they gave up on the assassination route.
Zhou Cang was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It's not long-term enough to plan things!" Chu Nan sighed and looked at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang also looked at Chu Nan. The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Why don't you arrange for an assassin to kill me?" Chu Nan said with a bit of hatred for iron.
"Ah?" Zhou Cang widened his already big eyes and became even more confused.
Looking at Chu Nan's eyes, Zhou Cang was deeply moved: "Master, do you want to frame him?"
"Absurd, how could I do such a shameless thing?" Chu Nan looked at Zhou Cang speechlessly: "If we want to kill people, we must openly and openly present evidence that they cannot refute, and frame this low-end method.
, how could I do it?”
Zhou Cang, who thought he had guessed correctly, looked at Chu Nan with a blank expression. Then why did he arrange for an assassin to kill him?
"Give them some hope and let them send another assassin over. This afternoon I will go to the government office to discuss the matter with Xue Ti. You arrange for the assassin to ambush you on the road. I will let Ah Huang stay at home to guard the door. Give the assassin a chance. You let the assassin
Lie down around the government office and shoot me with poisonous arrows." Chu Nan said in a deep voice.
"Poison arrow?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan and said uncertainly: "Real shot?"
"Well, otherwise you won't be able to deceive anyone. Don't worry, prepare the antidote in advance. Just let the doctor see that it is a poisonous arrow." Chu Nan said in a deep voice: "After the doctor sees it, you can give it to me immediately.
Take the antidote."
Thinking that he would have to suffer physical pain, Chu Nan was a little speechless. In order to induce the assassin to take action, he also tried his best.
"Here!" Zhou Cang understood, nodded, and bowed to leave.
In the afternoon, when Chu Nan entered the government office, a hidden arrow was suddenly shot at Chu Nan. The assassin was then killed. However, according to the news from the doctor who went to treat Chu Nan, it was a poisonous arrow and needed to be recuperated.
It took some time. That afternoon, the doctor who treated Chu Nan's injury was arrested by Zhou Cang and his men, and the news was quickly blocked.
At the same time, martial law was imposed. When Chu Nan was in coma, he also asked Xue Ti to temporarily take over the position of prefect on his behalf. At the same time, he had people pass orders to Xu Huang and Lu Qian, not to worry about Feng Gao's affairs and just do their own things.
"Is there a scam?" Late at night, in a remote house, several elders of the Fenggao family gathered together to exchange opinions.
"The doctor was taken away in the afternoon. Judging from the reactions from all parties, it doesn't seem to be fake. Chu Nan was indeed injured, and the arrow was highly poisonous. Even if he was treated in time, he would still need to nurse himself back to health in a short period of time.
Time."
"We have sent assassins countless times before, but nothing happened. How come it's so easy this time?" A middle-aged scribe asked puzzledly.
"What's so strange? The assassin was proficient in concealment and seemed to have some supernatural powers. I heard that it was Chu Nan's personal guard Zhou Cang who killed him personally." The young man who spoke before shook his head.
"Moreover, the assassinations have been going on for days, and the assassins suddenly disappeared in the past few days. Chu Nan must have felt relaxed in his heart, and the assassin was very capable this time, which is why he was hurt." An old man analyzed.
There is indeed some truth to this statement.
"Then what should we do now? Continue to be patient? Or..." The middle-aged scribe made a cutting gesture.
Chu Nan was seriously injured, and he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the county was a little tense, and most of Fenggao's troops had been sent out. Now, apart from the newly recruited brave men, only the two hundred men around Fenggao were left in the Fenggao garrison.
Personally, these people are very powerful, but with just such a small number of people, if they work together, they may not be able to keep Chu Nan here forever. When they welcome Yuan Tan to Mount Tai, even if Lu Bu wants to settle accounts, he can
how?
Moreover, as Lu Bu's powerful minion, without Chu Nan, Lu Bu would be like a toothless tiger, unable to protect himself, let alone seek revenge from them.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and many people's eyes flashed with eagerness to try.
"How to do it?" After an unknown amount of time, someone asked in a deep voice.
"The Chu Nan Mansion is heavily guarded. We no longer have anyone capable of carrying out the assassination. How about..." A stern look flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged scribe: "On the grounds of Chu Nan's tyranny, each family will contribute.
When we attack the prefect's mansion, I have a disciple in my family who is extremely powerful and proficient in swordsmanship. He can be the vanguard!"
Although the suppression by Chu Nan was severe during this period, it was not a problem for each of these families to bring out hundreds of people. Although it was difficult to form a battle formation, many of the people present were those with divine power. After all, for
For a wealthy family, even if they don't have innate magical powers, it's not difficult to get an Awakening Pill.
For Chu Nan at the time, it might not be possible to get an Awakening Pill even if he spent all his wealth. But for someone with a lot of resources, if they want to get an Awakening Pill, at least it won't be as easy as Chu Nan's.
It's so difficult, and some families even have a lot of people with divine powers, but it's hard to say how powerful the divine powers are.
Some have rough skin and thick flesh, amazing defense, and are difficult to damage with swords, some have great strength, and some possess special powers.
When these people unite, they may not be afraid of a battle formation of two hundred people.
With the little protective power around Chu Nan now, they had no reason to back down. They didn't take action before, just because they didn't want to hurt both sides, but now it was different. Chu Nan was seriously injured and the group was leaderless. It was the time for them to take action.
Everyone agreed tacitly, and immediately discussed the time to take action. Now that Fenggao's defense forces are at the Prefect's Mansion, as long as he is careful, there is no need to worry about the other party noticing.
After the discussion was over, it was already the third watch, and everyone left through the secret passage.
On the other side, in the prefect's mansion, Zhou Cang fed Chu Nan some medicine. Seeing Chu Nan's pale face, Zhou Cang said worriedly: "My lord, if the other party doesn't fall for the trick, wouldn't this arrow be in vain?"
"If you want to catch big fish, you must have bait and be patient." Chu Nan carefully reviewed what happened today. In addition, with the current situation in Taishan County, it is difficult to say about other places, but this is the case for several wealthy families in Fenggao.
, there is no reason to give up this opportunity, and it is them who Chu Nan wants to deal with.
Fenggao is the county seat of Taishan County. The wealthy families here are basically the local wealthy families who have developed to a certain extent and have strong family backgrounds. Fenggao also has great eyes and hands, and there are people from them in the government offices.
But it is precisely because of this that they are convinced that Chu Nan was injured. They are the heads of many families in Taishan County. If these families are eliminated, the remaining local families will be much easier to deal with.
There is no need to deliberately clean up, the local families will become a mess, unable to provide effective support for Yuan Tan's attack on Mount Tai.
Now Chu Nan is thinking more about how to deal with Yuan Tan.
Even if they are defeated, nothing can happen to Yuan Tan. Is there any chance to cooperate and defeat the remnants of Cao's army together?
In fighting for the world, it is not clear-cut between the enemy and ourselves. As long as the other party feels that both parties have consistent interests, it is possible to temporarily turn the enemy into a friend.
The dispute between Yuan and Lu is now inevitable, but after all, they haven't broken up yet. If Yuan Tan doesn't take advantage of him, Chu Nan will always feel a little bit at a disadvantage.
After all, after passing this village, it is not easy to find such an opportunity.
Zhou Cang obviously didn't understand this. The people he arranged didn't notice anything strange. They always felt that Chu Nan's plan might have failed. But Chu Nan was so confident that he couldn't attack his lord.
After helping Chu Nan remove the gauze, Zhou Cang was shocked to find that Chu Nan's wound had almost healed.
"Lord, your wound..." Zhou Cang stared at Chu Nan's shallow wound, a little confused. This was an arrow. How could it heal so quickly?
Chu Nan smiled. The talent he got from Cockroach was a strong physique. After spending more than 20 million luck, this talent became a body of steel. The physique, endurance, self-healing ability and defense power are those of ordinary people.
Five times, this talent, even if he is a military general and he is willing to practice hard, he will not be worse than the martial arts of the first-class military generals in the world. It is also his most satisfying talent. A man with a strong body will make him more confident in disguise.
It's just that Chu Nan rarely uses it, so ordinary people don't know it.
"You don't think I only have one kind of divine power, do you?" Chu Nan looked slightly interested. In addition to this, he also has the divine power from the demon ants, which he enhanced into natural divine power. He can do various difficult actions without any trouble.
You will feel tired!
"Lord, you are awesome!" Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Chu Nan dared to take the arrow so confidently.
"Go down and have a rest. They also need time to react. You need to recharge your batteries. When we actually take action, we will still have to rely on you!" Chu Nan looked at Zhou Cang and said with a smile.
"Well, I will retire at the end!" Zhou Cang nodded. With Ah Huang here, he doesn't have to worry about enemies coming over and he won't notice it. This dog picked up by the lord is really powerful. Whenever an enemy comes close, he will
They can always notice it immediately, but even if they are noisy, they are basically lying next to Chu Nan, looking lazy.
