Zhao Hao was furious with Han Xin, but there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't that Han Xin was jealous of Xiao He's talent, but he didn't feel that the person he was arresting was the Xiao He that Zhao Hao and the others were talking about.
After all, Xiao He's behavior is really confusing.
Fortunately, Xiao He and the others made detailed registrations before leaving, allowing Zhao Hao to easily determine their identities.
However, what Zhao Hao didn't expect was.
Han Xin, the 'big idiot', not only arrested Xiao He, but also Chen Ping.
This is crazy!
What a surprise!
What a surprise!
Although Zhao Hao didn't know why Chen Ping got together with Xiao He in advance, Chen Ping's ability was actually no less than Xiao He.
Anyone familiar with the early Han Dynasty knows that sometimes Chen Ping played a much greater role in Liu Bang than Xiao He.
Of course, the current Chen Ping is also like a 'timely rain' to Zhao Hao.
He has long wanted to form his own intelligence agency, but he has never been able to find a suitable leader.
Now that I know that Chen Ping has appeared, isn't it because someone gives me a pillow for sleeping?
You know, Chen Ping is the ancestor of later intelligence agencies.
For the first time, he perfectly defined the importance of the invisible battlefield of intelligence work and the huge results it produced.
He and Han Xin have one thing in common, that is, they get the greatest results at a very small cost.
From his whole life, it is not difficult to see that he should have clearly understood the favorite metaphor of "Huang Lao School", "water".
He is like water, pervasive and never stops encountering obstacles.
And Zhao Hao needs exactly this kind of person.
"Hehehe"
Zhao Hao, who had looked embarrassed just now, suddenly burst out laughing, leaving Cao Shen, Han Xin, and Lu Wan puzzled.
However, seeing that Zhao Hao was in a better mood and would no longer blame himself, Han Xin bit the bullet and said, "Sir, now that their identities are confirmed, do you want to send someone to find them?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I must be looking for it!"
Zhao Hao suppressed his laughter, glared at Han Xin angrily, and then looked at Cao Shen: "Cao Yuyu, you said before that Xiao He didn't want to defect to me. Why is that?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but I think it's because of Liu Ji?"
Cao Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He values Liu Ji very much. He took good care of Liu Ji when he was in Peixian County. Even when he came to see the young master this time, it was Liu Ji who persuaded him to come!"
"oh?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "So, if you want Xiao He to work for me, you must first find Liu Ji?"
"this"
Cao Shen wanted to answer Zhao Hao, it was true, but suddenly he felt that Zhao Hao didn't pay much attention to Liu Bang, otherwise he would not only ask Xiao He but not Liu Bang.
Therefore, he was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Although he knew how much Xiao He valued Liu Bang, he never expected that Xiao He was so affectionate towards Liu Bang.
This is a bit outrageous.
Could it be that Xiao He in history had some special hobbies?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao's expression became a little strange. If Xiao He was not willing to serve Liu Bang, he would not bother to force Xiao He.
After all, a twisted melon is not sweet.
Furthermore, Xiao He and Liu Bang alone should not be able to accomplish anything big.
"Sir, I don't think Xiao Liju is that kind of person!"
Just when the atmosphere fell into silence, Lu Wan on the side suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head and said: "What kind of person?"
"That's what you just said. If you want Xiao Liyu to defect to you, you have to find Liu Ji!"
Lu Wan muttered: "I think the reason why Xiao Liju really values Liu Ji is that Liu Ji is chivalrous. He can gather people around him and recognize him. As long as the young master allows Xiao Liju to recognize you, I believe he will I sincerely surrender to you!"
Hearing this, Cao Shen's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Lu Wan is right, Liu Ji does have the ability to make people recognize him!"
"That"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and said, "How about I find someone to try?"
"Who are you looking for?"
Han Xin and the other three said in unison.
Zhao Hao smiled slyly, then turned his attention to Han Xin and winked: "You let this person go, so naturally you have to find him back!"
"It's not Young Master, I."
"Okay, it's such a happy decision!"
"But."
Han Xin was a little reluctant, looked up at the sky outside, and muttered: "It's already dark outside!"
"Is it dark?"
Zhao Hao tilted his head: "Isn't there still a moon?"
"So hard?"
Han Xin was stunned.
Zhao Hao smiled and said nothing.
Cao Shen and Lu Wan looked at each other.
Seeing that the atmosphere fell into silence again, Han Xin sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, I am really convinced.
However, just as he was about to leave, Zhao Hao suddenly thought of something and walked up to him and whispered a few words to him.
"Sir, this."
Han Xin's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Obviously, he was shocked by Zhao Hao's words again.
But Zhao Hao acted very calmly: "If this doesn't convince him, let him leave on his own!"
"snort!"
Han Xin snorted coldly and shouted solemnly: "How can a man live in heaven and earth and do nothing?!"
After saying that, he felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He suddenly became energetic and rushed out of the room, disappearing into the vast moonlight.
Such a scene left Cao Shen and Lu Wan stunned.
Zhao Hao touched his nose sheepishly and looked up at the full moon in the sky.
the other side.
In an inn outside Yongcheng City.
Xiao He and Chen Ping sat opposite each other in a small courtyard in the inn, admiring the moonlight while drinking and chatting.
"Brother Xiao, we have to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again. It's really hard to leave!"
Chen Ping picked up a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said leisurely.
Xiao He looked at him helplessly and sighed: "I thought there would be less hardship after leaving Peixian County, but I didn't expect that something happened after all!"
As soon as they came out of prison, they went to the inn to find Liu Bang and the others.
As soon as I arrived at the inn, I saw a pile of ruins.
After inquiring, they learned that a major crime had occurred here last night.
Liu Bang and others were the victims of this major case.
Originally, Xiao He planned to look for Liu Bang, but Chen Ping stopped him.
Because Chen Ping discovered something unusual.
It is the indifference of Yongcheng officials to this case.
Logically speaking, Qin State would impose a curfew at night, and assassins could not easily assassinate Liu Bang and others.
And they even set fire to the inn.
If the guards on night patrol find the assassin, they will definitely hunt down the assassin with all their strength.
However, from the moment they walked out of the cell to the ruins of the inn, the city was peaceful, without any pursuit of assassins.
This made Chen Ping very uneasy.
That's why he took Xiao He and hurriedly left the city regardless of Liu Bang and others.
But Chen Ping said: "Brother Xiao, there is no need to blame yourself, this matter is not your fault."
"But, I came out with them, and now their life or death is uncertain. How can I have trouble sleeping and eating?"
"this"
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, and pondered: "This matter is very strange, don't you think? Logically speaking, Yongcheng should be heavily guarded to catch the perpetrators. Why did we come out and there was no movement at all?"
"Maybe."
Xiao He hesitated and said: "Maybe this case involves the royal family, so it's not good to deal with it in a big way!"
"If this is the case, wouldn't the rule of law maintained by Da Qin become a joke?"
"hehe."
Xiao He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said with emotion: "I don't put my hope in Da Qin now, I just hope that Liu Ji and the others will be safe and sound!"
"How about I stay with you and search again?" Chen Ping frowned.
"Xiao He accepted Brother Chen's kindness!"
Xiao He raised his hands with a sincere look and said: "If Liu Ji and the others escape, Xiao He will definitely come to find you and accomplish great things. If something happens to Liu Ji and the others unfortunately, Xiao He doesn't want to delay your future because of this."
Chen Ping waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao is joking, Guanzhong and his party, Chen Ping is not ignorant. Today's Great Qin is not suitable for Chen Ping!"
"That Young Master Hao."
"That's all, we will meet each other if we are destined."
"this"
Xiao He was speechless, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the inn, and the expressions of Xiao He and Chen Ping changed.
"Brother Xiao?"
"Don't worry! Take a look first and then talk!"
"good!"
The two communicated briefly, and then quietly returned to the room.
Not long after, a group of cavalry appeared at the inn.
The inn boy hurriedly responded and said with a smile: "Are these military lords staying in the hotel, or..."
"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, have you seen these two people!"
The leading cavalryman interrupted the young man with an impatient wave, took out a portrait, and shouted to the young man.
The boy used the firelight at the door to take a closer look. He was slightly startled at first, and then shook his head repeatedly: "No, I haven't seen it before!"
"you sure?"
The leading cavalryman narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
The boy nodded seriously: "I've definitely never seen it before!"
"Let's go!"
The leading cavalryman didn't waste any time. He immediately waved to the cavalryman behind him, turned his horse's head, and rode away.
"Call for good luck"
Watching the cavalry fly away, the boy let out a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and go back to the inn. Suddenly he saw the shopkeeper rushing over after hearing the sound, and he couldn't help but said: "Uncle, why are you here?"
"What happened just now, those military masters?"
"Uncle, be careful. Let's go in and talk."
"this"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he returned to the inn with the boy.
"What happened? What happened?"
When the two of them arrived at the back kitchen of the inn, the shopkeeper cautiously asked.
"Uncle, I told you, don't be afraid."
The boy said tentatively.
The shopkeeper glared at him angrily and urged: "You young man, I'm really worried, tell me now!"
"Okay, okay, uncle, don't worry, I will tell you."
The waiter raised his hand to comfort the shopkeeper and lowered his voice: "It seems that there are two criminals living in our inn."
"Ah? This"
The shopkeeper was startled and quickly backed away.
The boy grabbed the shopkeeper to prevent him from falling, and comforted him: "Uncle, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Hey, uncle, could it be that I have forgotten my Daqin law, which stipulates that the reward for catching a thief is seven taels. Aren't these two our source of wealth?"
The boy used to be a rogue in the city, but later he committed some crime and was imprisoned. Fortunately, the shopkeeper paid for his redemption, otherwise his life would have been hard to save.
Over the years, although he had been helping out in the inn honestly, all his income had been used to pay off debts, so that in his twenties, he had not yet married a wife and had children.
Therefore, when he learned that Xiao He and Chen Ping were criminals, his first thought was not to help the Qin army arrest them, but to make a fortune from them.
"Having said that, but..."
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant.
The boy seemed to have become determined after eating the weight, and said solemnly: "I will pretend to bring them hot water later, and then put something in the water to ensure that no one is aware of it."
"this"
Seeing that the boy was so determined, the shopkeeper didn't know how to stop him, so he warned him repeatedly: "You have to be careful."
"I know, I know!"
The boy responded impatiently, and then began to prepare hot water.
at the same time.
The cavalry team that had just left came to an open grassland.
I saw the leading cavalryman looking around, raising his hand and whistling.
Soon, another group of cavalry appeared in their sight.
"Han Weiwei, I found them!"
When the leader of the cavalry saw the leader of another team of cavalry, he couldn't help but look happy and immediately rode up to meet him.
"Oh? Found it so quickly?"
Han Xin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"Going back to Han Weiwei, this place is far from Yongcheng, just within their travel range, and there are four inns in which they can live. Two of them do not accept guests who are not Lao Qin people to stay overnight, and the other one accepts non-Lao Qin guests. Guests from Qin are spending the night, but there are all old Qin people inside, so the only possibility is the inn in front!"
"this"
Han Xin was stunned for a moment and almost didn't come back to his senses. He couldn't help but joked: "Ke Bei, you are quite smart!"
"hehe."
Ke Bei smiled, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Thanks to Han Weiwei's teachings, I have gained a lot of experience."
"Yes, Not Bad."
Han Xin nodded with satisfaction, then carefully searched for Xiao He and the other two, and found that they were not in Ke Bei's team. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are the people?"
"who?"
Ke Bei was stunned.
Han Xin's face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I said, where are Xiao He and Chen Ping's people?"
"Oh, they are at the inn!"
"Why are you still at the inn?"
Han Xin was a little confused.
But I heard Ke Bei explain seriously: "Just now I took people to the inn to ask the boy, and the boy lied that they were not in the inn, but I am sure that they are in the inn. I think the boy must have evil intentions and want to do something wrong to them. thing."
"Well"
Han Xin's mouth twitched and he said in confusion: "Since that boy has a problem, why not capture that boy and bring them here by the way?"
Ke Bei tilted his head: "Didn't the Weiwei say that they are unwilling to serve the young master? It is better for us to rescue them in danger than to arrest them directly."
"Um?"
Han Xin was stunned, then his expression changed and he yelled: "You smart-ass 'big fool', what if they are killed?!"
"ah?"
Ke Bei looked confused, thinking to himself, they weren't that good, were they?
But Han Xin didn't care what he thought, and directly ordered behind him: "Why are you standing there, go and save people!"
Please vote for me!
