Chapter 710 The Twelfth Person
It is said that on the eve of the marriage recruitment meeting, Chen Long took action to force Xun Yu and Cao Chun away. It can be said that a psychological secret war has been set off. It was originally a situation where the enemy was in darkness and we were in the clear. After being disturbed by Chen Long, Cao Cao's black hand behind the scenes gradually came to light. Only in muddy water can you fish, and for Chen Long, the muddier the water, the better.
Anyway, Xun Yu and Li Ru's arrangements were also aimed at Chen Long. Even if Chen Long broke through the ceiling, he would not be able to escape from Da Xiliang easily. Therefore, Xun Yu couldn't bear the anger for a while, and even disdained a head-on conflict with Chen Long. So Xun Yu grabbed the furious Cao Chun, walked to the street where carriages and horses were stored, and got into his carriage in an instant. There were only a few guards from the Tianshui Gang beside the carriage. Obviously no one dared to steal the carriage or property here, so the precautions were very lax.
Cao Chun was arrogant and scolded his mother. Xun Yu sat firmly on the mat and said with a smile: "With Zhongkang in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Long is no match for Xu Zhongkang."
This sentence is another groundbreaking statement. Xu Zhongkang is naturally Xu Chu's cousin, but what does it have to do with Chen Long?
The only answer is that Xu Chu also came to Xiliang, but Chen Long didn't know it at the moment. Sure enough, Cao Chun became more sober and replied: "If Zhong Kang captures Chen Long in the competition, everything will be perfect. Otherwise, even if I, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, chase this man to the ends of the earth, I will kill him."
It turned out that Xu Chu made a big mistake in the military camp at that time. He felt guilty and left without intending to return to Cao's camp. But the world is vast and there is no place to stay, and he is disdainful of defecting to Yuan Shu and his followers, let alone the rival Qinglong Army, so he wanders around and returns to Mount Tai. Remembering Xun Lingjun's unrivaled benevolence and righteousness, he secretly pays a visit to Xun Yu and invites him. plead. Just when Xun Yu was ordered to set off, he laughed loudly and said, "Zhong Kang is here. Could it be that God is helping me as a general?"
Only then did Xu Chu know that he was going to Xiliang to kill Chen Long, and he immediately remembered the words of atonement. If he could kill Chen Long, he would naturally be able to offset the sins he had committed and regain Cao Cao's trust. Therefore, the two hit it off and set off for Xiliang together with Cao Chun, Xia Houshang and others. On the way, they decided on the strategy of Xu Chu in the light and the others in the dark. Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang were the mysterious twelfth person Han Sui appointed to participate in the contest to recruit a bride. Xu Chu's goal is naturally not Ma Yunluan, but if he can use the opportunity of the competition to capture Chen Long in one fell swoop, it will be better than the time-consuming and laborious traps laid secretly. Of course, Xu Chu has not yet married and has children. If Xu Chu can get the beauty back in his arms, it will be a happy event.
Xu Chu cherished this opportunity given by Xun Yu. If he could return to the rank of general of the Cao family, it would be much better than wandering around and becoming an outcast military general. Therefore, Xu Zhongkang had eaten well and slept well these past few days to replenish his energy and was waiting to capture Chen Long today and even kill him on the spot.
If Chen Long suddenly encounters a peerless general like Xu Chu who can go head-to-head with Lu Bu without preparation, he will definitely not be able to please him. In a head-to-head duel, the only thing Chen Long can rely on is his clever mind and superb Qinggong.
Therefore, when Chen Long heard the words Xu Chu coming from Lu Chang's mouth, his head couldn't help but buzz. She must not lose in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. She was originally full of confidence in the other eleven people, just because she was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and knew that these eleven people were not top-notch generals, so they were by no means their opponents. Xu Chuke is different. Is he going to cheat in front of everyone again?
The secret of the electric shock baton must not be used in public, but Chen Long cannot bear to lose to Xu Chu and run away, because losing means that Ma Yunluo will have to face Xu Chu, a powerful enemy. Ma Yunluo may not be Xu Chu's opponent. Is it difficult? Could it be that Ma Yunluan will marry Xu Chu in the end? That would be even more uncomfortable than killing Chen Long.
Lu often saw Chen Long speechless and didn't know what to do. I wanted to persuade my lord to run away now, but I felt that my lord would never let it go. Chen Long shook his head vigorously and felt a little more awake. He thought that he had to cheat secretly in advance and said to Lu Chang: "Then Xu Chu is a natural warrior. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard people describe his appearance. ."
After saying that, he told Lu Chang about the appearance of Xu Chu described in the books he had read in the future, and asked Lu Chang to check Xu Chu's possible location. Lu Chang understood. Chen Long heard the cheers from the gongs and drums on the stage and from the audience. He understood that it was time for the martial arts competition to start. He hurriedly turned around the railing and slowly walked towards the main stand, scanning the corners of his eyes. Go, hoping to find the imaginary giant Xu Chu.
On the high platform, Tianshui City advocated both hosting and naturally there was a lot of excitement. As Zhang said, he also regarded Ma Yunluo as his adopted daughter, and the Tianshui Gang was a government-private partnership, which fully demonstrated the importance and praise for Ma Yunluo. Ma Yunluo's competition to recruit a bride is also the top priority of the Tianshui Gang. If he can recruit Golden Phoenix, he will naturally become a high-level member of Tianshui and directly receive the title of Tianshui Captain and have the power to command troops.
After Zhang Ji spoke, the audience immediately applauded like thunder. Who wouldn't want to hold a beautiful woman, ride a horse, and rise to great heights from now on, and the ancestors will be honored. The eleven shortlisted people have all taken their seats in the audience, only the mysterious twelfth person Xu Chu is still missing.
It was as if the boxing contestants of later generations were about to take the stage. The atmosphere was getting louder and louder, but the contestants were still recuperating in the background. After Zhang Ji spoke, there were some entertainment programs for the Tianshui Gang. Chen Long was not in the mood to watch them at all. He kept searching the front and back of the stage to see if there was a man pretending to be a big man waiting to appear.
At this moment, the real host Ma Yunluo finally came on stage to perform. She changed into a snow-white outfit, with a snow-white shirt behind her. Colorful ice souls were flying in her hands, and she performed a performance-like military dance. Although they all have embroidered fists and embroidered legs, the beauty is like jade, the shadows of guns are numerous, and the colorful spears and flowers are as powerful as rainbows. For a while, the audience was whistling and cheering like thunder. All the men present today are all moved by Ma Yunluo. I am so overwhelmed that I wish I could get a bride and return home.
Chen Long, Zhang Ji, Guo Huai and others all watched in ecstasy. As soon as the gun dance ended, everyone stood up and applauded vigorously. Ma Yunluo stood on the high platform with her gun drawn, her snow-white shirt rustling in the gentle river breeze, as if a goddess descended to earth and bid farewell with a smile. At this moment, Chen Long's eyes twitched slightly, but he heard a sharp whistle. It didn't seem abrupt among the cheers, but it sounded extremely clear to Chen Long. It was the unique contact method of the special forces members of the Qinglong Army.
Chen Long took advantage of everyone's attention on the stage and quietly slipped down from the stands. Sure enough, he saw Lu Chang huddled behind the railings of the stands, gesturing in a direction with sign language. Chen Long looked in the direction of his sign language and immediately found a three-story building in the distance, from which he could see the entire arena. The bead curtain seemed to be shaking on the top floor. Someone must have watched Ma Yunluo's gun dance and just lowered the bead curtain.
Lu Chang made another cautious gesture, obviously he knew how dangerous Xu Chu was. He had been observing for a long time just now, and when Ma Yunluo was performing the gun dance, he suddenly found the ferocious face of a big man staring at Ma Yunluo from the window on the top floor of the three-story building. In an instant, Lu Chang was almost certain that it was Xu Chu, because he could not think of anyone else who could be so close to Chen Long's description.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
