Chapter 1175: Mutual Fear
"10,000 soldiers!"
If it weren't for them killing all the assassins and making the enemy unable to figure out whether Chen Gongzi was dead or alive, then he wouldn't have been able to complete his mission!
Although he barely completed the task with a fake, when he went back, Zhang Yan was afraid that he would reprimand him.
And in order to avoid reprimand, the messenger doubled the price, wanting to use this credit to gag Zhang Yan's mouth.
"......" After hearing the envoy's words, the Chen family master frowned and fell into deep thought.
He has 10,000 soldiers, but with these 10,000 soldiers, he Chen doesn't have many soldiers.
He was now wondering if he should put all his chips on this one.
If it fails this time, then the Chen family will no longer be the opponent of the Yuan family and the Zhou family!
But if he succeeds, he will be able to successfully reach the top and become the head of the family, and when the time comes, only 10,000 soldiers will be able to get rid of it!
It's a gamble of one step to heaven and one step to hell!
Seeing that the Chen family master was silent, the envoy frowned and said, "Chen family master, what's so suspicious about this?" Ling Gongzi is an immortal masterpiece, and a mere 10,000 soldiers is already a very low price for him! ”
After hearing the envoy's words, the Chen family master glanced at him expressionlessly, and then looked at the Zhou family master and the Yuan family master with the corner of his eye.
At this time, the head of the Zhou family and the head of the Yuan family were looking at the head of the Chen family with a playful face.
They wanted to see if the Chen family master had the courage to exchange 10,000 soldiers for an impostor.
At this time, they are not in a hurry, if the head of the Chen family exchanges this counterfeit back, then they will have to pay for the old family members!
When the time comes, the Chen family, which has no strength, will definitely not be the opponent of the two of them!
And if the head of the Chen family didn't bring this imposter back, then the two of them had a way to make the families believe that the son of the Chen family was dead!
Anyway, both of them have a way to turn things around.
Therefore, they now quietly stayed behind the Chen family and watched the joke.
"......" The scheming Chen family master also probably guessed the thoughts of the Yuan family master and the Zhou family master, and at this time, he hated to kill these two old bastards who gloated!
However, the head of the Chen family knows that impulsiveness can't solve the problem, and now he doesn't have the strength to do these two!
However, it was precisely because of the gloating performance of the Yuan family and the Zhou family that the Chen family master made up his mind,
I saw that he turned his gaze sharply to the messenger, and said categorically: "Good! The old man agreed to your request, 10,000 horses will be 10,000 horses! ”
The head of the Chen family has figured it out now, he has offended the Yuan family and the Zhou family, and the combined strength of the two families far surpasses that of the Chen family.
So, if he wants to turn over, he must rely on external forces!
What is an external force?
It's the little ones who are attached to these big families of theirs!
But it is very difficult to get the refuge of these small families.
Now that the Zhou family and the Yuan family have a good reputation, it is impossible for those small families to break away from these two families for no reason.
If you want to get the allegiance of these small families, you must make the reputation of the Zhou family and the Yuan family stink!
So, the Chen family gambled!
He gambled that after bringing this imposter back, he would be able to convince the heads of the small families that the Yuan and Zhou families were lying!
In this way, their prestige will inevitably be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, the Chen family master will have a chance to replace him!
"Hahaha......" After the envoy heard the words of the Chen family master again, he immediately laughed out loud.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Chen Gongzi, the meat ticket, died, and he didn't cause them any difficulties, but successfully completed the purpose of this trip, how could this not make the envoy ecstatic?
Therefore, the envoy was in a very good mood at this time, and everything he saw was very pleasing to the eye, especially when he looked at the dry old man in front of him, it was like seeing his own father, and he was squirting out of his sycophancy.
"The head of the Chen family really deserves to be the patriarch of the family, he is courageous, and he admires him!
If it weren't for the different positions of you and me, I really wanted to make friends with the head of the Chen family, no! It is to worship the head of the Chen family as an elder!
In the next wish, the Chen family is as blessed as the East China Sea, and the longevity is ...... than Nanshan"
Although the messenger had read the book for a few days, he had not read anything, and could only barely recognize a few words.
So after he praised for a while, he suddenly ran out of words, so he said all the words for his birthday.
In a word, no matter what it is, as long as it sounds good, he will say it like a bamboo tube pouring beans, regardless of whether it should be in the right situation.
"......" The four people standing behind the Chen family master almost couldn't help but burst out laughing when they heard this exaggerated praise.
Fortunately, their concentration is not bad, and they reluctantly hold back a smile.
However, you can see how uncomfortable they are enduring by looking at their shrugged shoulders.
"Ahem!!" The head of the Chen family was also disgusted by the envoy's repeated sycophants, so he quickly coughed twice, interrupted the envoy's praise, barely kept calm, and said, "Okay, I'll stop talking about the extra words, let's exchange hostages quickly." ”
The energetic envoy who was shooting "......" was stunned for a moment after hearing the words of the Chen family master, and then asked with a puzzled face: "The exchange is a good exchange, Chen Gongzi is here, but what about the 10,000 soldiers of the Chen family master?" ”
"This simple ......" The head of the Chen family pointed behind him and said calmly: "Presumably, the waiter also knows that I brought 30,000 troops with me when I came here, and they were stationed twenty miles away at this time.
The old man can send someone to inform them to send 10,000 soldiers here in exchange. ”
The head of the Chen family also had the intention of taking this opportunity to rescue his son, and when he came here, he brought all the family members with a total of more than 12,000 people.
These people are all the private soldiers of the Chen family, if the head of the Chen family wants to exchange these people for Chen Gongzi, then no one can find any reason.
"No way!" After hearing the words of the Chen family master, the envoy refused without thinking about it!
Just kidding, that's an army of 10,000!
In the event of a surprise attack after coming, a thousand of them would not be able to withstand the enemy's attack.
Although the 10,000 people of the family are all rabble, but as the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, after the 10,000 people of the family come here, plus the 1,000 people here, it is ten times the strength of the messenger?
When the time comes, no matter how elite the envoy's soldiers and horses are, they will not be able to withstand the siege of so many people!
After being rejected by the envoy, the head of the Chen family frowned, and then immediately reacted, thinking about the worry in the envoy's heart, he waved his hand and said: "The envoy doesn't have to worry about letting them attack suddenly, after all, the old man's son is still in the hands of the envoy......"
After saying this, the Chen family master suddenly couldn't say any more, because he thought about it for a while, and found that if he was an envoy, he would not agree to this matter!
Because if it were him, he would also worry about whether the other party would suddenly attack after the exchange was completed.
When the time comes, even if you can't keep the other party, you can take advantage of the chaos to leave that 10,000 troops and let the other party return in vain!
After thinking of this, the head of the Chen family stroked his beard, frowned and said: "The envoy's concern is also somewhat reasonable, since this is the case, then please ask the envoy to say a way to exchange." ”
The head of the Chen family had a few ways to exchange it in his heart, but he knew that the envoy would not believe him, so he simply handed over the initiative in this matter to the envoy.
Hearing this, the envoy frowned and thought for a while, then pointed behind him and said, "If the head of the Chen family is really sincere, then it is better for me to exchange in the city where the lord is located." ”
"No way!" After hearing the words of the envoy, the reaction of the Chen family master was the same as that of the envoy just now, and he would definitely not put himself in a dangerous situation.
Just kidding, if they really entered the hinterland of Yanzhou, it would be absolutely impossible to come back?
Although Zhang Yan has become the master of one party, he is still the original mountain king in essence!
The head of the Chen family knew that once he stepped into Yanzhou, that Zhang Yan would definitely swallow them in one bite!
"Hehe......" The envoy actually didn't expect the Chen family master to agree, he just tried it just in case.
Now seeing that the Chen family master denied it, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Since the Chen family master thinks this method is inappropriate, why don't we each bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to trade on the border between Yanzhou and Jizhou?" ”
"Ten thousand soldiers?" After hearing the envoy's words, the head of the Chen family frowned and asked, "Is the old man's 10,000 soldiers in exchange counted among the 10,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
"Of course not!" The envoy was sincere in wanting to complete the transaction, so he immediately shook his head and said, "How can those people be considered an army if they are just chips?"
However, when the Chen family leader brought those people to the border again, he tied them up with ropes and could not bring any blades. ”
The waiter was afraid that the head of the Chen family would suddenly attack when he was taking those people to the border, so he took advantage of the chaos to rescue the impostor.
After all, if the 10,000 chips where the Chen family master was located were equipped with armor and suddenly attacked, it was really possible to cause them great damage.
Therefore, the messenger gave a preventive shot in advance.
"......" The head of the Chen family heard the waiter's words, and after speaking, he touched his breath and fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head and said, "Still no!"
You ask the old man to tie up the 10,000 soldiers, and the old man has no opinion, but you can't bring 10,000 soldiers and horses, you can only bring 3,000 soldiers and horses! ”
What kind of ghost virtue the world's army is, no one can understand it better than the Chen family master!
If the amount of soldiers and horses on both sides is the same, the Chen family master has no confidence that he can withstand the opponent's attack!
Therefore, the head of the Chen family must ensure that the combat power of the two sides is equal, so as to ensure that both sides do not play any small tricks.
