Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 411 Come Prepared
"No, no...Meng De has already rejected Yuan Shao, he won't kill me." Although Zhang Miao said so, there was still fear in Zhang Miao's eyes.

The trace of fear slowly manifested under the dim light, and Chen Gong keenly captured it.Chen Gong suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that Zhang Miao's hairs stood on end, and stepped back step by step: "You...what are you laughing at?!"

"Meng Zhuo, relatives and friends, right and wrong. It's not decided today, so it's not appropriate to be in danger." Chen Gong suddenly imitated Cao Cao's tone, and even exaggerated a little bit, vividly interpreting Cao Cao's arrogance.After seeing that the fear in Zhang Miao's eyes could almost flow out, he resumed his original tone and said, "I'm laughing because Mr. Zhang Fu is so naive! He obviously knows something, but he still pretends not to know." Just go ahead and deceive yourself!"

At this time, Zhang Miao suddenly became agitated, and Dang still tried his best to calm down his trembling body: "That's exactly what he said, isn't it expressing Meng De's insistence on protecting me?"

Whether it was the trembling of Zhang Miao's body or the tremor of his tone, Chen Gong saw and heard it.He squinted and smiled again, and said sarcastically, "Do you insist on protecting the lord?" Before Zhang Miao could speak, Chen Gong continued to sneer: "I remember that the lord Zhang is also from a prominent family in Dongping, and he has read a lot of poetry and books, why? Can't even hear the subtext of such a simple sentence?"

"How can there be any subtext?!" Zhang Miao tried hard to argue, but in fact, even he himself began to waver at this time.

"Cao Cao said 'right and wrong', that is to say, for the time being, regardless of your right or wrong, he will save your life first. But after this sentence, there is another sentence, which is 'the future is not determined today, so it is not appropriate to endanger yourself ’, but if the world has been settled, or Yanzhou has been settled, what should Cao Cao do?”

"Don't scare me any more. Meng De and I are friends on the run. When we conquered Yanzhou several times, Meng De always entrusted us to his wife. Such a friendship, you want to shake it with just a few words?" Zhang Miao's reply this time was very urgent, It might even count as haste.But he didn't know that this just revealed his lack of self-confidence.

"You are really a good person." Li Feng shook his head again and again, and said to Zhang Miao in a strange way: "Cao Cao still wants to use you. He has not gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou. Doesn't it take someone to help him stabilize the scholars here?"

Xue Lan didn't forget to see the needles: "But if Cao Cao takes Xuzhou and has a new territory, what will he do in the future? Who can say for sure?"

At this time, Chen Gong was very disgusted with Li Feng and Xue Lan for persecuting Zhang Miao, but he also had to admit that sometimes a gentleman like himself really couldn't say such extreme words.However, if this is the case, it is very effective.

"I won't listen! I won't listen!" Zhang Miao looked like he was going to collapse at this time, and he almost covered his ears and shook his head back and forth: "You people all have selfish motives, and you threaten me with threatening words, but you just want to achieve your goals. A dark secret..."

"In the whole world, who has no selfishness?!" Chen Gong suddenly interrupted Zhang Miao's words with a cold tone.But seeing Zhang Miao's look of being overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and calmly persuaded him: "Brother Meng Zhuo, people in troubled times tie together with benefits, and when benefits run out, people disperse. Don't you see anything about Han Fu? What did he do?" Dead, you know best, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Miao couldn't help shivering abruptly!
The matter of Han Fu was a pain in his heart that would never be erased: after Han Fu, the former Jizhou herdsman, gave up his land, Yuan Shao treated him favorably on the surface, but secretly squeezed him everywhere.Han Fu was deeply disturbed, and finally fled Hebei alone, and went to Chenliu to join Zhang Miao.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Fu arrived, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to ask to cut the weeds and roots.At that time Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao hadn't fallen out yet, and he didn't want to bear the reputation of being a virtuous person, so he made false claims with the envoy.But Han Fu was still in panic all day long, and finally couldn't bear the torture, and took advantage of the time when Zhang Miao was meeting the envoy, he hanged himself in the bedroom!

This incident dealt a great blow to Zhang Miao. From this, he also saw that Yuan Shao was not the loyal minister who worked hard for Han in his mind at all, but a man with a sanctimonious appearance but a dark and vicious heart in his heart!And then Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Cao Cao, further confirming this point.

Chen Gong didn't need to look at it at this time, he could feel the fear emanating from Zhang Miao's body filled the entire secret room.Although he didn't want to persecute Zhang Miao anymore, Chen Gong still hardened his heart and sneered for the sake of the big plan in his heart:

"In the past, you had no intention of killing Han Fu, but Han Fu died because of the lord of the government. The cycle of heaven, retribution is not good, and there is a certain number of drinks and pecks. Now it is your turn to be in this position... I have to remind you , Cao Cao is different from a humble gentleman like you, he killed Wang Kuang at Yuan Shao's will, do you think Cao Cao is more important than Yuan Benchu?"

Zhang Miao's face turned pale suddenly, he really wanted to use forceful words to rebuff Chen Gong.But in fact, he knew very well in his heart that Chen Gong didn't miss a single word.The boundless fear was like a rope twisted around Zhang Miao's neck, strangling him so much that he couldn't breathe, he sat down on the ground, and said with blank eyes, "No, no...you are all chaotic people, I am afraid that Yanzhou will not be chaotic. Therefore, I am here to divorce the relationship between Meng De and me. Meng De and I are friends who are running around, and get along like brothers..."

Even though Chen Gong had a good self-cultivation, he had exhausted all his patience at this time, and he suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, you built this secret room, not because you wanted to be killed by Cao Cao one day. A hiding place? Don't forget that you and Yuan Shao were friends on the run!"

These words crashed into Zhang Miao's mind like a thunderbolt, causing him to suddenly feel paralyzed on the ground: Yes, he and Yuan Shao also had similar goals in the past.But now, didn't they also part ways, and evolved to the point where they wanted to take their heads?
Not to mention, Zhang Miao knew in his heart that when it came to viciousness, Cao Cao was even more vicious than Yuan Shao.And this secret room, as Chen Gong said, was to guard against Cao Cao.But if Cao Cao really intends to do something, how can this dead secret room protect himself alive? ...

However, Zhang Miao hadn't said anything until now, and the persuasion of Chen Gong and others came to a deadlock.Although Li Feng and Xue Lan were impatient to draw their swords to force Zhang Miao, Chen Gong knew that it would be useless.In an instant, Chen Gong's face gradually turned pale, and he was on par with Zhang Miao.He was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly, cupped his hands and said sadly to Zhang Miao, "My lord, it's too much trouble, please take care of yourself..."

After saying this, Chen Gong wanted to turn around and retreat.But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the secret room: "Brother, you treat Cao Cao as a brother, but he may not treat you as a brother!"

Then, the door of the secret room was slowly pushed open.Everyone was so frightened that their scalps went numb for a while, and they each drew their swords to be on guard.But as soon as the door of the secret room was opened, with the help of the weak light, a face that was furious but somewhat similar to Zhang Miao appeared in the dark night.Chen Gong and others immediately recognized that Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao's younger brother, had come in.

In this troubled world, Zhang Chao is not considered unknown, but he is not very famous either. Compared with his brother Zhang Miao, he is even worse.But unlike Zhang Miao, a cowardly and cowardly Confucian scholar, he was as hot-tempered and irritable as thunder, and he was even more impatient.When Chen Gong saw Zhang Chao entering, he couldn't help but patted his forehead: He felt that he seemed to have missed something...

"Brother, I'm the only real brother of yours!" After Zhang Chao entered, he sat on the ground casually, looked up at Chen Gong and the others, and then grinned and said, "Everyone, if you can guess If it's not bad, you are trying to persuade my brother to fight against Cao Cao, right?"

When Chen Gong heard Zhang Chao's words, his eyes changed suddenly.Li Feng and Xue Lan even looked at Chen Gong, asking if they were going to kill Zhang Chao.After Chen Gong calmed down slightly, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"Don't think that if you kill me, no one will know about it." Zhang Chao looked at Chen Gong and the others complacently again, and after seeing the horror on their faces with satisfaction, he suddenly changed his tone and said Zhang Miao said: "Brother, Cao Cao's thing is not a thing. Chen Gongtai has always had a plan, and he can predict things like a god. You are under Cao Cao's hands, and you will inevitably become a ghost under the sword that day. It's better, let's strike first!"

"Good! Zhang Guangling is indeed a righteous man, and he does things straightforwardly." Seeing Zhang Chao's sudden remark, Li Feng and Xue Lan couldn't help but praise Zhang Chao quickly.But Chen Gong, looking at Zhang Chao who was behaving strangely today, suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, you seem to have a plan in mind?"

At this time, Chen Gong had already guessed that Zhang Chao must have expert guidance behind the scenes.Moreover, that person is much taller than himself.After all, even if you are not close to each other, even if you have worn out your lips, you still haven't made Zhang Miao make up your mind.But just because Zhang Chao was Zhang Miao's younger brother, Zhang Chao's expression changed when he came up, and he obviously made the final decision.It was only out of face that he lingered and said: "Meng Gaoxiu is going to mess around. I am waiting for a major general who is short of soldiers. How can I be Cao Cao's opponent?"

Zhang Chao was punctured by Chen Gong's words, and he didn't blush, let alone reply.Instead, he got up and opened the door of the secret room, and said mysteriously: "Brother, don't worry, I came prepared today!"

And when the two people outside the door suddenly appeared, and when everyone saw their faces clearly, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
