Hearing Gordon's words, Old Chen's eyes were still on guard. He was silent for a moment, washed his hands and said, "Since the general is elegant, it doesn't matter if Old Chen has a few drinks with the general."
After hearing this, Gordon finally changed his stern expression, put on a smile again on his face, stood up and said with a smile, "That's right. With Lao Chen by my side, I can drink with confidence."
While the two were talking, the cook Lao Jin had already sent his soldiers outside the hall to announce that the food and wine were ready. Gordon laughed, walked forward, picked up Lao Chen's arm, and shouted loudly: "I'm already hungry. Please call Lao Jin to serve food and wine."
Not long after the order was issued, the chef Lao Jin led a group of soldiers to serve the prepared wine and food on the table. Lao Chen didn't know what kind of hysteria this idiot general had committed today and insisted on dragging him to drink, but he still had the patience to accompany him. Sit aside.
After waving the crowd away, Gao Deng stood up, walked to Lao Chen's side, filled a cup of strong wine for him, and said with a smile, "Old Chen has been with me for many years."
Old Chen hurriedly stood up, held up the wine cup, and replied with a smile: "I have been following the general since he entered Yanbei."
Gao Deng laughed at himself and said, "You are a fool. Since you entered Yanbei, you have amassed money and disturbed the people. You have done all kinds of evil. This has brought you a lot of infamy, Lao Chen. I respect you."
Old Chen was about to refuse, but he saw that Gao Deng had already raised his head and raised his cup. He had drunk the strong wine, so he gritted his teeth and drank all the wine in his cup. But before he could put down the cup, he saw that General Gao was already carrying the wine. The second one comes again: "This second one is the happy event I just mentioned. I have finally eradicated the banditry and lived up to the entrustment of the Holy One..."
The words were spoken, the altar was tilted, the wine was poured out, and Lao Chen broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly said: "Old Chen is just a medical officer. I don't know what the general is talking about..."
"Bang—" Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of the wine jar slamming down on the table.
As he put down the wine jar, Gao Deng had already drank his second glass of wine. When he put down the wine cup, he put his arm around Lao Chen's shoulder, leaned next to Lao Chen's ear and said, "I, Gao Deng, have joined the army since then." , all the time I think about sharing the worries for Qi Yun and our Holy Lord. I am very loyal and bear the Holy Mandate. I went to Yanbei and pretended to be a dandy... But how can my Holy Lord trust a minister whose biological brother is wavering? ..”
After finishing speaking, he patted Lao Chen on the shoulder, stood up slowly, and went to look for the wine jar again. He turned around for a moment, and Lao Chen, who had a scared face and cold sweat on his forehead, had changed.
At this time, Lao Chen looked calm and showed no signs of panic. He glanced at Gao Deng, who was pouring wine for him, and looked at him intently for a moment. Then he looked away and said slowly: "The general has known for a long time."
Gordon smiled and saw that Lao Chen's cup was full of wine. He took back the wine jar and replied, "Yes."
"When did you know about it?" Lao Chen didn't understand how this idiot general discovered that he had been hiding beside him for many years and boasted that he never showed a single flaw.
"It was just a guess before. Just now, Old Chen, you have confirmed that my guess was good." Gordon showed a calculating smile on his slightly drunken face.
Hearing this, Lao Chen's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He no longer stood up to drink as before. He just slowly pushed the wine cup in his hand aside and looked sideways at Gordon, with a look in his eyes that was difficult to look at directly. Sharp.
This look would make ordinary people, even martial arts practitioners, shy away from him when they see it. Unexpectedly, Gao Deng did not dodge and looked at Lao Chen calmly.
Seeing Gordon acting like this, Lao Chen felt a little panicked. He first looked away, glanced around, and kept checking, thinking to himself: "What is Gordon going to do? Could it be that he has turned against him?"
In a state of panic, he couldn't help but use his true energy secretly to check whether the wine he drank just now was poisonous. The hand hidden under the table had already been retracted into his sleeve. In an instant, when his palm came out of his sleeve, there were several slender coins held between his fingertips. Silver needle, but before Lao Chen wanted to use the silver needle to prick the acupuncture points to block the acupuncture points in advance to prevent himself from being poisoned by the wine he drank, he heard Gordon beside him speak again.
"Old Chen must be thinking in his heart that since he is a minister, even if he knows that the Holy One has personnel to monitor him, he will not openly declare it so openly. Is this Gao Deng crazy? Or does he want to rebel?" Gao Deng held his hand. Holding the wine cup, he walked slowly in front of the table and continued to speak.
"Don't worry, with your martial arts and medical skills, Old Chen, let alone me in this hall, even if you have a battalion of patrols now,
County soldiers, who can stop you? "
Old Chen's eyes were full of vigilance. He had been with him for many years. Although he knew that this idiot general was not as bad as outsiders saw him, he did not expect that he was so wise and could see so thoroughly. He couldn't help but think of himself. Before leaving, Jiuwu’s words of advice.
"When we go to Yanbei, you have to keep a close eye on Gao Deng for me. If he dares to secretly communicate with the Northern Jin Dynasty, you can kill him first and report later."
Flashing before his eyes, it flashed back to the day when Gordon returned to the camp to mobilize troops. He received the secret decree and secretly put the secret decree passed on to Gordon into his room... and then flashed back to the decree given to him. He ordered himself to secretly assist Gao Deng in capturing Yan Qingchuan and not allow him to help King Ning. He was determined to draw out all the bandits hiding in Yanbei and eliminate them with all his strength.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel secretly frightened, not only because Gao Deng failed to live up to His Majesty's trust, but also that His Majesty had far-reaching plans and was so ruthless that he actually used his own son as bait...
Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at Gordon in front of him, wondering what he was going to do after breaking through this layer of sandpaper.
Old Chen's uncertain expression fell into Gordon's eyes. He walked slowly to the table, moved the wine cup that he had pushed away back into his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked you to look at me. Okay, I'd better let you help me capture Yan Qingchuan and prevent him from returning to protect His Highness Prince Ning. This is more than just trying to eradicate the banditry in Yanbei."
His pupils shrank suddenly. Even though Lao Chen was a little curious, he didn't want to listen. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare. But at this moment, his heart was in chaos. His whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. Even though he had just drank wine, he felt extremely cold all over his body. Gordon's voice sounded in his ears again.
"You have been in the Yanbei Army for many years, so you must have heard of that poem." Before Lao Chen could react, Gordon continued to speak.
Each word is like a shock to the heart: "The poisonous array is so beautiful that the wild goose is in the north. The soul of the general who has not returned will not return. He killed millions of soldiers in the war, and the crescent moon is full of blood."
Suddenly raising his eyes, Lao Chen met Gao Deng's shining little eyes and couldn't help but murmured: "You... have you found the location of the Immortal Formation?"
Gordon stood up with a sneer, picked up the wine jar, and drank a large gulp of strong wine. He didn't care that the wine soaked the fine cloth that the general was using to bandage the wound. He stretched out his hand to wipe the wine from the corner of his mouth. He looked back with admiration and said, "Not only did we find the location of the immortal formation, , and a way to break the legend of the Immortal Needle."
Lao Chen couldn't help it any longer, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "What did you say! But it's true!"
Gordon's eyes seemed to burst with a light of incomparable confidence, and he said word by word: "There are absolutely no lies."
"Where is it?" Lao Chen could no longer suppress his shock and asked.
Gordon stared into Old Chen's eyes and said calmly: "It's in Yanbei, it's in Mo County... it's right here, in the County Sheriff's Department."
Lao Chen has no time to think about anything else. The legend has been passed down orally among the Yanbei Army. Even if you don't believe it, you have been listening to it for a long time. In addition, both the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Holy Emperor have the intention of launching troops, but during these eighteen years, there seems to be a tacit understanding. , never acted rashly, and Lao Chen had to believe that this legend was true.
Now that I can not only see the legendary immortal formation, but also see the broken formation with my own eyes, how can I think about anything else?
When he wanted to ask again, he suddenly came back to his senses. The Holy Father had entrusted him with the matter of secretly monitoring Gordon that day, but he never said anything about it because he didn't want to know about it. Now that he knows about it, the Holy One can use it The temperament of using his own son as bait...
Not wanting to stay any longer, Old Chen retreated timidly, just wanting to escape from the Sheriff's Department Hall in front of him, but before he could take a few steps back, he heard the voice of the idiot general coming from behind him.
"Since I risked my life to tell you these secrets, is it possible that you can escape if you want to?"
As if all his strength had been drained by Gordon's words, this martial arts master seemed to have lost his inner strength. He sat slumped on the ground, his eyes empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a cup of tea, he finally came back to his senses and said weakly to Gordon: "You worked so hard to tell me these secrets and what do you want me to do."
Seeing that he had accomplished his plan and was only one step away, Gordon knew that once he spoke his next words, he would never be able to turn back. He couldn't help but hesitate again, but then he thought of the emperor's words, "The world will be unified, and the world will be peaceful." Gradually, he became firmer and reached out to the wine jar filled with strong liquor with one hand, pulled it over, raised his head and said, "Gudu Gudu"
Pour it all into your mouth.
The strong liquor entered his throat, and the alcoholism surged up, giving him the courage to "coward others".
There was a "pop", the wine was gone, the altar was empty, and the person was about to get drunk. Taking advantage of the wine, Gordon slowly stood up, smashed the empty altar in his hand, and said word by word to the person who was sitting slumped on the ground: "Pry it open" Yang Huchen's mouth, find the picture, decipher the mystery in the picture, assist my lord, go out of Yanbei...cross the Yingjiang River...take the capital of Jin...conquer the Southern Tang...unify the world...promise peace for all ages. ..."
At this moment, Lao Chen seemed to have just met for the first time the "bastard general" in front of him who he had followed for many years. Compared with him, he was a great martial arts master. Maybe his martial arts was higher than him, but when it came to his mind and courage. , I am not as good as him.
So he calmed down, thought for a moment, stood up suddenly and said, "Okay, I'll help you." Read Shula
Gordon, whose face turned red, did not expect that Old Chen would be so forthcoming. He had prepared many persuasive words, but none of them came in handy. He thought he had heard wrong, so he couldn't help but confirm: "You really want to help me?"
Lao Chen smiled. After so many years of accompanying smiles and fake smiles, he never laughed sincerely like this. He no longer hesitated and said readily: "Of course...it's just a life. The general is not afraid, so what am I afraid of? Since The general is willing to risk his life to create an eternal legacy for the saint, how can Lao Chen be reluctant to give up this humble life."
Gordon looked up to the sky and smiled and said, "Okay...but I still have a question."
At this moment, Lao Chen had taken off his pretense and burden, and immediately said, "If you have anything, just ask."
"For so many years, I only know you as Lao Chen. Who is your last name?"
"Is the name important?"
"It doesn't seem to be that important."
"You don't want to buy me a drink..."
"Uh... the wine is over, Lao Jin! Lao Jin!" Gordon yelled.
The soldiers waiting far outside the door, as well as the cook Lao Jin, could only hear the general yelling in the hall. They didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly went inside to check.
"Go and bring some more jars of wine. Lao Chen and I won't come home until we're drunk." Gordon shouted, slapping the table as if he was drunk.
"Lao Jin, didn't you hear the general's order? Go quickly." Medical officer Lao Chen ordered with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, it was common for General Gao to be confused. Why did Lao Chen, the steady medical officer, think that he was also guilty today? However, no one dared to go against his general's wishes at this time. Just as he was thinking When he turned around to move the wine, he heard soldiers outside the hall coming to report.
"General Gao, outside the County Sheriff's Department, don't ask for an audience with the people..."
