C59 (1/2)

Wang Zhi kicked the arrow off the ground with his toe, and it flew straight towards Chen Mi. He stabbed the arrow into a map on the table with a loud thwack. The arrow stabbed half an inch deep into the table, its tail quivering as the arrow was nailed to the ground.

When the deputy generals, deputy generals, and tokens under him saw that he had revealed such a move, they all applauded and cheered. Wang Zhi snorted coldly and left, leaving Chen Mu to face the crowd awkwardly. Some people gloated, thinking to themselves: ”Chen Mu, Chen Mu, although you and Ban Chao have a deep friendship, what can you do about it?” How easy would it be to go to Izu to assassinate a general? Wang Zhi's martial arts skills were high, so he didn't dare to take the risk. As a newly promoted official, wasn't he overestimating himself too much?

Chen Nu nodded, ”Sir Dou's men are indeed very skilled. I understand now. ”Admirable, admirable.”

One of the deputy Generals curled his lips and said, ”But General Chen doesn't know what's good for him, so it's not too late to regret it now!”

There were also kind-hearted people who advised, ”Yes, General. The lord overseer is straightforward. He's afraid that you'll fail. I'll go and plead on behalf of the general. The military order can be waived.”

Chen Mu's expression was cold as he looked around at the crowd. No matter if they were speaking kindly or maliciously, everyone had a look of disdain on their faces. There were also some who had a good relationship with Wang Zhi, so they decided to go straight out of the tent, ignoring Chen Mu.

After a while, Chen Mu burst into laughter. ”Everyone, I appreciate your kindness, but as the military superintendent had said, there is no such thing as a joke in the military. Since I've already said that I want to go, I will definitely go.” Zhou Xian, one of the best in the army, follow me. ”

Zhou Xian was his deputy general, but he was of the same mind as Wang Zhi. After giving the order, he turned around and walked out of the tent. He selected twenty veterans from the Shanshan Army and lined up outside the door to wait.

Chen also ordered his men to prepare a yellow flag and write down a military order in front of the crowd. He then arranged the affairs of the camp in a simple and orderly manner, but these were ordinary matters, and did not show how good he could be, and in order to prove that he was quite sure of his success, he did not explain what the army would do if he were defeated, nor did they have a backup plan, so that most of the generals were still unconvinced.

”After everyone had left, Chen Mu turned around and said to Huyan Jie, who was standing behind him.” ”General Huyan, you come with me.”

”Just call me An Jie.” Seeing that there was no one around, Huyan Jie said softly, ”Master, are you really going? Are you really not afraid that I will plot against you? ”

Chen Nu laughed, ”If I were to be defeated in battle, my reputation in the army would be ruined. What face would I have to stay here? Even though Ban Chao had guaranteed that I would become the main general, but the people below were all blind. If I couldn't rely on this battle to maintain a neutral position in the army, then I, as the general, would be under the control of others. Since I can't get a foothold in the army no matter what, I have nothing to begin with. Then he might as well take this gamble. I don't bet on anything else, but that you are a reliable person who keeps his word and keeps his word! ”

Huyan Jie gave a thumbs up, ”This is called seeking fortune from danger, getting the table straight! Brother Chen made a prompt decision. I am truly impressed. When we return with the head of the guard, tell these mediocre people to shut up! ”

Chen Nuo sighed, ”I'm just afraid that I will let Master Ban Chao down! If you try to bully me, then I might just die on the battlefield. ”

Hu Yan Jie smiled slyly, ”Do you think I would?”

The two of them smiled at each other. ”We'll know when the time comes,” Chen Nai said.

Outside the tent, Zhou Xian had been waiting with twenty soldiers. When Chen Min saw that they were all old and weak, with dwarves less than three feet tall and thin men who looked weak and weak, the most infuriating thing was that one of them was a lame man with a crutch. Chen Mu frowned. ”Zhou Xian, this is the expert I wanted you to find?”
