Chapter Twenty-Three: Near the End
There should have been an unknown dialogue between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao.
Although the result was not satisfactory, Zhou Yang recalled Zhang Miao's calm expression, and did not have the fear of death at all. He finally believed what Cao Cao said. Perhaps Zhang Miao's death was indeed a relief for him.
After leaving the underground black market, Zhou Yang re-connected Su Chen and met at Li Su's residence, which almost became their nest of thieves.
Li Su didn't want to disturb him, so he closed the door for them with a look of horror, but even if he did this, the insult in Puyang was still the one who took the blame, just to give himself an excuse to escape and feel at ease.
"What's the situation now?" Zhou Yang naturally wouldn't take Li Su to heart, just be sure that he didn't betray him.
What I care most about right now is where Su Chen has gone in the past few days. Therefore, although he asked a little bit vaguely, Su Chen immediately understood and reported the situation he collected one by one.
It turned out that the female assassin had been hiding near the warehouse, and finally aimed at a rare opportunity at the stall where Hou Song and Wei alternated in shifts, and sneaked into the warehouse. However, because the space was not large and there was no movement, it was impossible to enter and exit freely, so he had to hide it all the time and never missed any opportunity for investigation.
Zhou Yang saw that even the things that she and Lu Lingqi were blocked by Zhang Liao in the warehouse were seen, and a rather embarrassing and ugly smile appeared on his face, but Su Chen did not care about it, which made him feel relieved and secretly praised him as an ancient woman.
Su Chen continued: "Since Lu Bu sent these three trusted confidant generals to guard the warehouse, Zhang Liao dared to intervene, which further demonstrated the importance of boxes in the warehouse."
Zhou Yang had long known that the box was filled with out-of-print high-end silk thick silk. Even today, he was the only one who knew that these would be the last batch of royal silk thick silks in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, its preciousness has long exceeded anyone's expectations.
"But the person who really values these boxes is Chen Gong." Su Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, which showed that he was all the decision in his heart. "On the contrary, Lu Bu didn't care so much. What he valued most was to be able to capture Cao Gong alive."
"Hmph!" Zhou Yang sneered, "Lu Bu is brave but not resourceful. As long as he gets to do Chen Gong, things will be much simpler."
"This is why I slipped out of the warehouse," Su Chen looked confident, but with a slightly sarcastic tone, and asked, "How is your Miss Lu going?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment and replied obediently: "I asked him to continue making trouble, but with Li Su's secret help, I believe Chen Gong will soon fall into the beauty sect."
After Su Chen recited the "Beauty Sect" several times, he probably understood what he meant.
"Don't you plan to tell me what good news did you bring this time?" Zhou Yang put his body close to the beautiful assassin and brought the topic back.
"Do you remember the small melee that happened in the west of the city a few days ago?" Su Chen had long been used to being frivolous and letting himself enjoy it. He did not intend to keep it in secret. He said directly, "Duke Cao bribed the guards in the west of the city and asked General Dian Wei to personally lead a group of elite soldiers who had undergone special training from the west of the city to get into the city."
Zhou Yang knew there was still something else, but he didn't interrupt, but just listened patiently.
Su Chen said: "This group of elites who create chaos are still in the city. Lu Bu is very angry about this and thinks it is all caused by Chen Gong's stupidity."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he probably grasped some of the outlines. Seeing that she paused and said, "Lu Bu hoped to have a fight with Cao Gong with real swords and guns, but Chen Gong sent additional personnel to the warehouse, so Zhang Liao was distracted from staring at other places. So letting General Dian Wei sneak into the west of the city became Chen Gong's deployment mistake."
Su Chen nodded and said, "That's true, but Lu Bu never expected that if Chen Gong didn't do this, the box in the warehouse would have fallen into someone else's hands."
Zhou Yang said in surprise: "Others?"
Su Chen said: "In those days hidden in the warehouse, I found that many people are actually staring at the box! But the one who really had the chance to start was another assassin."
In the entire Puyang City, except for Mr. Wright, Zhou Yang would not have thought of anyone, unless other forces intervene, such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others, also have such strength. If this were the case, Cao Cao and Lu Bu would not have been unaware of it, so this conjecture can be erased, and then the remaining possibility is Mr. Wright.
But this Roman merchant seemed to have disappeared for a while. By being able to cross the two empires of Kushan and arrive in the Central Plains safely and safely, you can know how powerful this person is.
If he doesn't want people to find him, I'm afraid no one can find him.
"But these are not the most important things," Su Chen didn't expect this level. He just saw him fall into deep thought and said, "What's important is that your Miss Lu is getting more and more trouble now. If Chen Gong comes out to advise him at this time, it will only make Lu Bu feel more disgusted with him, so our mission can be nearing the end."
"Is it almost over?" Zhou Yang murmured.
Since Chang'an returned, he immediately embarked on the war to retake Puyang with Cao Cao.
Facing Lu Bu's army of tigers and wolves and Chen Gong's persistent arrangement, even Guo Jia could not find a trick to break the city for a while. After this period of internal destruction, and Guo Jia and Cao Cao's discussion day and night, gradually eroding Lu Bu's monarch, who could not stand the scrutiny, finally embarked on the fate of being expelled.
In fact, from beginning to end, Cao Cao never fought head-on with Lu Bu. All military operations were to cater to Guo Jia's plans and Zhou Yang's internal work.
Although Chen Gong was thoughtful, he was not an invincible military advisor after all, nor was he a perfect man. Besides, he was a man that Zhou Yang knew very well.
Zhou Yang could almost imagine what it would feel like when the loyal and upright Chen Gong faced Lu Bu's doubts about him.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen saw that he was so terrified that he looked at him, and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave Puyang?"
"Where did you get involved?" Zhou Yangsai said, "I'm still thinking about the boxes in the warehouse."
When Su Chen heard this, he knew that he was worried about making wedding dresses for others.
After doing so much work, someone took the lead and snatched the boxes. This is indeed not a happy thing.
The problem is that Zhou Yang has not yet truly understood the details of Rite. He only knows that this Roman businessman has strength that cannot be underestimated, but he has no idea how many bargaining chips he has.
But one thing is certain, that is, Wright's snooping heart for this group of top silk shreds is no less than anyone else, and only he has the best chance to succeed.
Zhou Yang sighed and said, "Continue to pay attention to the movements of the warehouse, don't alert the snake, I'll see the situation here."
Su Chenqi said: "You have always been such a good idea, but you have no plans this time?"
Zhou Yang remembered all the things he had experienced with this female assassin before, and almost every time he made a decision. Although the result was often unexpected, he was always inseparable from all sides and could basically achieve his goal.
But this time I was unsure. After all, there was no mention of the character "Lite" in the book, let alone the vague and ethereal strange people like Anute and Ding Xiao.
It turns out that without the advantage of predicting history, it will be so passive.
Su Chen suddenly pointed to him, revealing a rare gentle tone, and asked in his ear with concern: "The first time I saw you so confused!"
Although the most sensitive part of the two people rubbed gently, Zhou Yang could not have any lustful thoughts.
Sometimes I feel strange whether the mysterious and mysterious things in the Taiping Jing change quietly in my body, and will they really become a Taoist priest or something in the end, or they lose interest in women? If this is the case, life will inevitably become meaningless.
So I tried to stick to Su Chen's plump breasts and realized that I was distracted just now. At this moment, the most primitive reaction immediately occurred on the lower body.
Su Chen didn't notice it and cooperated to cater to his body.
This woman who once shared the hardships and woes with Zhou Yang and was dependent on life and death has always been the most powerful in his heart, not to mention that this female assassin has such a tall and beautiful figure, and the coldness and tenderness that only he has.
In addition, his private affair with Lu Lingqi over the past few days has almost aroused his lust many times, but he has never really entered the state.
Now in such a safe place, Zhou Yang could no longer laugh and hugged Su Chen hard in his arms.
"Bang! Bang! Bang--"
The tables, chairs, bookcases and other items in the room were knocked down one after another, and they ignored whether someone would suddenly enter and disturb him.
The two almost frantically took off their clothes that they would never allow between them and fought nakedly by the walls or corners.
They can never wait for a moment. There are still many things in front of them that need to be done. This moment will be so short and you must not waste such a precious minute and a second.
"Kiss me!" Su Chen was finally provoked and could no longer help but begged, "Check me quickly, okay?"
As she wished, Zhou Yang pushed her against the downward table in the darkest corner and began to move on the wind and rain.
Passionate time passes very quickly, and this is also the most relaxing time he has during this period.
Suddenly, he felt that all the problems in front of him were solved. Although he still had no obvious plan in his heart, he no longer could find direction or confidence in unknown things.
No matter what difficulties are ahead, Zhou Yang just wants to face them as soon as possible. No matter how many chips the Roman merchant has, he must not lose to him. When Lu Bu ignored the warehouse, he seized the boxes with lightning speed.
Just as Zhou Yang put on his clothes and pushed open the door, what he found was not just confidence, but a real plan.
Li Su was leading a tall and burly man to come. Zhou Yang recognized the other party at a glance. He was the most capable confidant around Cao Cao and the person who caused the most headache for the security of Puyang City - Dian Wei.
