"Two gentlemen, the hot water has been boiled!"
The inn boy picked up a basin of hot water, came outside Xiao He and his room, and called softly.
With just a "creak", the door was opened by Chen Ping.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Chen Ping smiled and took the basin from the inn boy's hand, and then prepared to close the door.
The inn boy took a look at the situation inside the door, but did not find Xiao He's figure. He couldn't help but said: "May I ask the guest, why didn't you see your companion?"
He was worried that the poison in the basin only poisoned Chen Ping, and it would be uneconomical to let Xiao He go, so he wanted to find out Xiao He's whereabouts so that he could make his next speech.
But Chen Ping had no intention of saying anything to him and said casually: "He is drunk and has already fallen asleep!"
Asleep?
What if there is too much movement later and wakes him up?
No, I only have one chance to make a move, I can't just miss it!
With his thoughts changing rapidly, the inn boy pretended to be enlightened and said with a remorseful face: "This wine is our old Guanzhong wine. You outsiders may not be used to it. You may have a headache tomorrow. You think otherwise, I'll go." I’ll cook you a pot of hangover soup;
How about just treating me as a villain to accompany you and forgetting to tell you to drink less? "
After saying that, he took the basin back into Chen Ping's hand and turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
Chen Ping grabbed the basin, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "It's not enough to poison one, you want to poison two more?"
"Ha..." The inn boy smiled awkwardly and said calmly, "Sir, are you joking?"
"Are you kidding?"
Chen Ping curled his lips in disdain and asked curiously: "I see the calluses on your hands, are you using them for swords or sticks?"
"I can't understand what the guest officer said. If you don't want sobering soup, just wash up early. I won't disturb you anymore!"
After saying that, the inn boy turned around and prepared to leave.
But Chen Ping said again: "Since you didn't understand, let me say it again, except for people who practice martial arts all year round, who would have calluses on their hands?"
The waiter paused, his eyes flickering, he slowly raised his arm, stretched out to his chest, took out a kitchen knife, and said coldly: "Sir, are you trying to embarrass this villain?"
"Hmph, if you want to cheat, you must be careful first!"
"court death!"
The inn boy suddenly got angry, turned around and stabbed Chen Ping directly.
Chen Ping seemed to be prepared for it. He raised the basin in his hand as if he had poured it over.
"ah--"
The inn boy was splashed with poisonous water and screamed immediately, then covered his face and jumped up and down.
Chen Ping kicked him to the ground, feeling terrified in his heart. Fortunately, he discovered something was wrong early, otherwise they would be the ones suffering now.
In fact, he watched every move of the inn's waiters and shopkeepers.
Although he didn't hear the conversation between the two, Chen Ping still felt that there was something wrong with them based on his keen intuition.
Therefore, before the inn boy arrived, Chen Ping asked Xiao He to hide in advance to prevent any unexpected events.
"Brother Chen, what should we do now?"
Xiao He, who heard the noise, hurriedly walked out of the corner.
Chen Ping took a look at the small inn on the ground, frowned and said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave here first!"
"good!"
Xiao He was also a decisive person and immediately followed Chen Ping and rushed out of the inn.
However, what they didn't expect was that the innkeeper seemed to have expected the innkeeper's failure and gathered a group of servants, armed with sticks, to surround them.
"Catch these thieves! The court will reward you heavily!"
The innkeeper shouted loudly, and his servants swarmed behind him.
Chen Ping and Xiao He looked at each other and without saying a word, they started fighting.
At the beginning, Chen Ping and Xiao He relied on a little force to beat the servants to pieces.
But, whatever
As time went by, these servants were like invincible villains, pestering them one by one, draining them of all their strength.
"Xiao...Brother Xiao, I'm afraid I'm going to be doomed today!"
Chen Ping was panting, leaning against Xiao He and said.
Xiao He was sweating profusely and said with a bitter look on his face: "No wonder the Six Kingdoms were destroyed by Qin. Even these Guizhou leaders cannot be underestimated..."
"Hey, now is not the time to talk about this. You think otherwise, I will help you stay behind and you can escape first..."
"No, I should be the one helping you to become the queen. You should escape first, and I will be the one to blame for you..."
"Hey, want to escape?"
When the shopkeeper heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but sneered and ordered again: "It's not that easy, catch them alive."
"Peng——!"
Just when the shopkeeper's servants were about to take action again, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from outside. Before they could react, they saw a cavalry breaking through the door.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of cavalry rushed over.
"this……"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened, he quickly lifted up his skirt, rushed in front of the cavalry line, and shouted loudly: "Master, they are important criminals of the imperial court, we are..."
"Shut up!"
Han Xin waved his horsewhip, interrupting the shopkeeper's words, and then looked at Xiao He and Chen Ping coldly.
They were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were in a miserable state. They were laughing wildly in their hearts, but their faces were still cold and they said, "Why is it you?"
Xiao He: "..."
Chen Ping: "..."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Chen Ping sighed helplessly and said bravely: "Han Weiwei still refuses to let us go?"
"I don't have the time to spare. Young Master asked me to come to you!" Han Xin said calmly.
"Master?"
Chen Ping and Xiao He were stunned at the same time, but the latter said: "The young master Han Weiwei mentioned is Young Master Hao?"
"Exactly!"
"Then I dare to ask Han Weiwei, why did Young Master Hao come to see us?"
"Your companions Cao Shen and Lu Wan recommended you to Young Master Hao. Young Master Hao loves talents and wants to recruit you to serve him!"
Having said this, after a pause, Han Xin turned his gaze to Chen Ping again and said calmly: "As for you, Chen Ping, I heard that you came to Xianyang to take the assessment. Although we have some misunderstandings, I admire you very much. Therefore, I also recommend you to the young master."
Somehow, after staying with Zhao Hao for a long time, everyone around him learned a skill.
That is, when you lie, you don't even blink.
Moreover, everyone around Zhao Hao can learn and apply every word he says.
It was clear that Zhao Hao was so excited when he heard Chen Ping's name, but when it came out of Han Xin's mouth, it turned out that he recognized heroes with his sharp eyes, and Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
"this……"
Chen Ping opened his mouth, but stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at Xiao He.
But Xiao He frowned slightly, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Han Xin didn't come to catch them.
However, why did Cao Shen and Lu Wan defect to Zhao Hao, and what about Liu Ji and Fan? Did he also defect to Zhao Hao?
If this is the case, will he also defect to Zhao Hao?
However, Zhao Hao was in Yongcheng when Liu Ji and others were assassinated. Why did he do nothing? Could it be that just because the person who committed the crime was from the royal family, he just ignored it?
If that's the case, why should I go to him?
Thoughts were swirling, Xiao He's face was cloudy and uncertain, but he finally calmed down and bowed and said: "I accept the kindness of the young master. It's just that Xiao, a small official, is embarrassed to be useful, and I'm afraid he won't live up to the expectations of the young master..."
"good!"
Han Xin put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Well said, you are really embarrassing. I also think that the young master has misjudged you, so I didn't want to take you back at all!"
"Hahaha--"
As soon as Han Xin finished speaking, there was laughter all around.
Even the shopkeeper's servants who surrounded Xiao He couldn't help laughing.
Xiao He looked at Han Xin in disbelief.
He never expected that Han Xin would be such a person.
But I heard Han Xin sneer disdainfully: "A scoundrel with bad conduct is just a waste of fame. What ability can he be used by the master?"
"you!"
Xiao He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
A person like him doesn't care about anything but his reputation.
Moreover, he never expected that Han Xin would not follow the routine.
Han Xin raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Am I talking nonsense? Why were you arrested and imprisoned for what reason, and you forgot about it so quickly?"
"I……"
Xiao He was speechless and speechless for a moment.
Although he knew that Han Xin was plotting against him, he didn't know how to refute Han Xin.
After all, what Han Xin said is true.
Seeing that Xiao He was rendered speechless by himself, Han Xin turned his attention to Chen Ping and said with a smile: "Chen Ping, what do you think?"
"I think……"
Chen Ping thought for a moment, then bowed his hands and said, "Chen Ping is willing to serve you!"
"Oh? So refreshing?"
"That's natural, but..."
"But what?"
Han Xin's eyelids twitched, with a vague feeling of bad premonition.
But Chen Ping smiled slightly: "However, I want to know, besides Cao Shen and Lu Wan, who else has defected to the young master?"
"Um?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Xiao He instantly realized that he seemed to have overlooked an important point.
I just guessed that Liu Ji and the others had defected to Zhao Hao, but did not implement this matter.
If he guessed wrong, then where are Liu Ji and the others?
"Is this important?"
Han Xin frowned and asked Chen Ping calmly and indifferently.
Chen Ping still had a smile on his face, nodded and said:
"It's very important to me. If the young master is a wise man, many people will defect to the young master. As far as I know, Cao Shen and Lu Wan came with a man named Liu Ji. I don't know if Liu Ji has defected to the young master. ?」
"this……"
Han Xin was speechless for a moment.
Chen Ping pressed forward step by step: "What? Didn't Liu Ji defect to the young master?"
"snort!"
As if he didn't like other people's pressing, Han Xin replied decisively: "No."
"Then Fan Hui, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others..."
"nothing!"
"hehe."
"what are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing."
"You obviously laughed!"
Seeing that Han Xin was offended by him, Chen Ping quickly accused him: "Han Weiwei, calm down, Chen Ping sincerely surrendered to the young master!"
"However." As he said that, he suddenly changed the topic and continued: "Chen Ping's friend's life or death is uncertain. Can you give me some time to wait until I find my friend before I join the young master?"
"Ah!"
Han Xin snorted, finally came to his senses, narrowed his eyes and said, "You dare to play tricks on me?"
"Don't dare!"
Chen Ping hurriedly handed over his hand and said with the utmost sincerity: "I am just a person who values affection and righteousness. Presumably Han Weiwei also valued me because of this, so he recommended me to the Young Master.
If I abandon my friends regardless of friendship, I dare to ask Han Weiwei, will the master still reuse him and trust Han Weiwei? "
"you--!"
Han Xin raised his finger and pointed at Chen Ping. He swallowed the words hard when he reached his lips. His eyes widened and his body trembled.
After a long while, he calmed down, took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Well, Chen Ping! I can't speak to you in terms of words, but you have to think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you will have no chance in the future!" "
"Thank you, Lieutenant Han, for your concern. I have thought about it carefully!"
Chen Ping looked calm
Quietly, the people around looked at each other.
Originally, Han Xin wanted to persuade Chen Ping first and then stimulate Xiao He, but he made a mistake.
Seeing that Chen Ping and Xiao He were unmoved, Han Xin was very disappointed, but he had no choice but to say harshly: "Since you have your own plans, I am too lazy to persuade you, let's go!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, turned his horse's head, and led his men towards the outside of the inn.
Just when Chen Ping and Xiao He thought that Han Xin would give up, Han Xin suddenly reined in the horse's head, turned around and said:
"Before I leave, Master has already guessed that you will not be able to serve him easily, so let me give you four words."
"Um?"
Chen Ping and Xiao He were slightly surprised and couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw a word in each other's eyes: "The traitor will never die."
However, Han Xin's voice suddenly sounded the next moment:
"Since ancient times, becoming an official has been the lifelong pursuit of every scholar. Therefore, many scholars study hard for decades just to help the monarch rule the country!"
"These people can be called capable ministers!"
"But capable ministers do not only refer to loyal ministers, honest ministers, but also female ministers!"
"Some people have outstanding abilities, handle national affairs for the monarch, and benefit the people's livelihood. Such people are called capable officials in governing the world."
"Some people are equally capable, but are good at calculations, form cliques for personal gain, have been in the court for many years, experienced many turmoils, and only want to dominate the country. Such people are called ministers in troubled times."
"There are also people whose abilities are not inferior to those of the first two, which is a rare occurrence in a century. They often possess the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but also understand the tactics of power. They can flexibly use various means to govern the world, and use their own strength to continue a country. life span;
Such people are called capable saviors! "
"this....."
Xiao He and Chen Ping looked at each other again, their brows tightening as if they were digesting what Han Xin said.
This was the first time they had heard such a discussion.
I was shocked and confused.
However, Han Xin did not give them time to digest, and said in a deep voice:
"A person who is a minister has the aspirations of all the people in the world, his spirit is as powerful as mountains and rivers, and his courage is that of a man!"
After saying this, Han Xin's whole temperament changed.
But I saw him holding his head high and his chest high, shouting sonorously and forcefully:
"A real man lives between heaven and earth, and with just four words he can establish his mind for heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the people, inherit his unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations!"
Boom!
As soon as these words came out, Xiao He and Chen Ping were stunned on the spot at the same time, as if they were struck by lightning.
.......
The last day, please vote for me!
If you don’t vote, it will expire!
