"Is that that boy? Why did he appear here?" Big Iron Hammer saw Han Xin, folded his arms and muttered, a little curious, but more defensive.
For them, Han Xin's friend and foe were unknown, so they had to be careful when he showed up at this sensitive juncture.
Hmm... But there's no need to be too wary, after all, she looks carefree and has no intention of hiding anything.
Han Xin walked up to a few people and said hello politely:
"Guys, we meet again."
Gao Jianli lowered his eyebrows and responded calmly, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Haha, I thought Mr. Gao was so forgetful that he no longer remembered me." Han Xin said with a fake smile.
"I am not that easy to forget an unknown person whose identity is suspicious but not simple." Gao Jianli replied with a gun and a stick, expressing his doubts and wariness about Han Xin's unwillingness to disclose his identity.
"Thank you for your love." Han Xin thought it was a compliment to himself and clasped his fists in thanks.
Sledgehammer curled his lips in displeasure, stepped forward and asked, blowing his beard and staring:
"Wherever we go, you follow us sneakily... tell us! What on earth do you want to do?"
Han Xin raised his hands calmly and made a military salute of a later Western power to show his harmlessness:
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
"I just want to ask you for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli turned around and expressed his refusal through actions, "What reason do we have to help you?"
"It is rumored that the entire Moh family is a first-rate chivalrous and passionate person who never lags behind others in emergency situations." Han Xin began to give them high hats.
Gao Jianli turned to Han Xin and replied lightly, "We only act for friends, are you a friend?"
He was further questioning Han Xin's background and position.
Han Xin smiled but had no intention of answering directly:
"I don't know if I'm qualified to be friends with everyone in the Mo family, but I know very well that since I can stand here and communicate with you safely, I guess Mr. Gao does not regard me as an enemy."
Sooner or later, his identity will be known to them, so Han Xin actually did not hide it too deliberately, but his identity is still not suitable to be revealed on his own initiative. At most... everyone understands it tacitly.
"This does not mean that we recognize you as a friend." Gao Jianli still refused to let go.
"If you are willing to do me this favor, maybe you can make another friend."
"Well..." Gao Jianli pondered for a moment, and his attitude became somewhat more relaxed. He turned around and looked at Han Xin, "You can talk about it."
"I would like to ask some people to rescue a friend of mine."
"what kind of friends?"
Han Xin answered simply, "The escort of the Yinghuo Stone this time, the imperial captain Zhong Limei, was ambushed by a master farmer in Luomapo and was in danger."
Han Xin did not directly explain that the man had only one breath left and was waiting for them to rescue him. He was vague about the reason... to save words.
After hearing what Han Xin said, Big Hammer and the others had different reactions, but basically they were all a little surprised.
Zhong Limei, an imperial officer, was the one who helped them rescue the villagers last time. Later, Gao Jianli and the others remembered that this man was one of the leading generals of the imperial army in the Battle of Guancheng - Han Xin and Zhong Limei.
At present, the reputation is mainly spread within the empire. Although the Mohist family has obtained relevant information, they have never paid attention to it and therefore failed to react immediately.
After all, the imperial military had little responsibility for the fall of Guancheng. The real ones who should settle the score must go to Wei Zhuang.
But now Han Xin is looking for them, the most loyal rebels in the empire, to rescue an imperial officer, and he still has a deep hatred against them... Isn't it a bit outrageous?
Big Iron Hammer was outspoken and muttered directly in reply:
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
We, the anti-Qin elements! We are still the number one!
Han Xin shrugged, "Otherwise I won't come to you."
What we want are anti-Qin elements!
"Zhong Limei... He was one of the generals of the Qin Army when the city was destroyed. You and he are friends... Are you also from the imperial military?" Gao Jianli began to question Han Xin's identity.
I have to say, my guess was pretty accurate.
Han Xin touched his nose, feeling guilty, but responded with a normal expression, "He and I are old friends, old friends who have known each other many years ago."
Gao Jianli stared at him with suspicious eyes and continued to ask, "You have also communicated with another imperial officer... and he seems to give you a lot of face?"
At that time, Gao Jianli watched the whole process of Han's bribery with gold leaves, but... he thought it was not that simple. How could a mere gold leaf make a senior imperial officer talk so easily?
It's not that Gao Jianli thinks a gold leaf is worthless, but for people like Bai Tu, he doesn't need to give a good face for it - what if he just robs you as a citizen if he doesn't like it?
"This... is correct." Han Xin thought for a moment and was embarrassed to deny it.
At that time, Bai Tu would change his face, and it was indeed more than just the effect of gold leaves.
Sledgehammer's face immediately turned cold, he crossed his arms and sneered at Han Xin, "So, you are really the empire's bastard!?"
"...To tell you two, I seem to be really suspicious."
"Hmph!" Big Iron Hammer snorted coldly, clenched his fist and threatened, "If you are really a minion of the empire, I would be willing to do you a favor - help you on your way!"
Looking at this big-breasted and brainless man, Han Xin wanted to roll his eyes, turned halfway, and defended himself:
"Don't forget, guys, if I hadn't come to the rescue before, you might not have been able to escape so smoothly."
Han Xin was trying to clear himself from suspicion from the side - the most ingenious part of this method was that he did not need to directly promise that he had nothing to do with the empire.
Gao Jianli and others fell into silence for a while.
Indeed, anyway, it was Han Xin who helped them out twice in a row.
"In this way, the Mo family owes me a favor." Han Xin looked sideways at Gao Jianli and others and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Gao Jianli frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid the Mo family won't be able to return this favor to you now."
We recognize that we owe you a favor, and we will definitely pay it back, but not now!
The last time Han Xin helped them, he went there on his own. Gao Jianli and the others didn't ask him, so there was no reason to force them to return the favor immediately.
"Your old friend is probably doomed." Gao Jianli replied coldly.
"He is caught in the center of the whirlpool of the fight between the six peasant families, and it is inconvenient for the Mohist family to intervene."
If it was just to save someone, Gao Jianli wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to return the favor. After all, it was not a good thing to owe a favor to an unknown person.
But in this sensitive period, it was impossible for them to offend an already frightened peasant family just to save an imperial officer.
Han Xin was not surprised at all by Gao Jianli's rejection and accepted it calmly:
"What Mr. Gao said is that at this juncture, it is indeed inconvenient for the Mohist family to interfere in the internal affairs of the farm family."
"So..." He changed the topic and looked at Long Qie aside, "Why don't you let General Long Qie of the Tenglong Legion do it for you and return this favor for the Mo family?"
"Me?" Long Qie's eyes widened in surprise and he asked, "Why should I save an imperial officer?"
Although he quite admired Zhong Limei, but... everyone's positions were different after all, and Gao Jianli obviously didn't want to get involved, so why should he do it for him?
Han Xin reminded with a smile, "When the Chu army was defeated, it was the Mo family who blocked the pursuers led by Meng Tian and saved the young master of your Xiang clan."
"And the sword that forced Meng Tian back happened to come from Mr. Gao's Shuihan Sword - the mark left by the Shuihan Sword on Cangyun Armor is still the deepest mark on that armor."
"Based on this, the Xiang family owes the Mo family a great favor."
"Favors are exchanged for favors. General Long Qie shouldn't mind returning this favor for the Mo family, right?"
It's not convenient for the Mo family to offend the peasant family now. You, a military strategist, will have no problem, right?
"What you said makes sense..." Long Qie still hesitated, "But you want to use this favor in exchange for me to save an imperial officer..."
On the one hand, Long Qie was moved, and Gao Jianli and the others didn't seem to object. On the other hand, he was still a little worried, worried that Han Xin had other plans.
Seeing this, Han Xin smiled and put the last straw that broke the camel's back:
"General Long Qie, you should have a mission, right?"
Long Qie's pupils shrank, his reaction was very excited, and he asked sternly, "What do you know?"
Han Xin smiled and said, "I only know that Zhui Feng Arc Arrow Zhong Limei needs someone to save him now."
Chasing Wind Arc Arrow… Chasing Wind Arc Arrow…
These four words kept flashing through Long Qie's mind, and at the same time, the four words "Feng Lin Huo" also appeared.
The balance in his heart began to tip.
At this time, Gao Jianli also saw that Long Qie had loosened his mind, so he simply went along with the flow and helped:
"In that case, please ask General Long Qie to take a trip for the Mo family. Thank you for your help."
Sledgehammer seemed a little dissatisfied with this, but seeing Gao Jianli persisting, he mumbled a few times and didn't say anything against it.
Long Qie reached the steps and no longer hesitated. He cupped his fists and said, "Then...I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying that, Chong Gao Jian Li and the others hugged each other's fists, and then left here for Luo Ma Slope.
Han Xin watched Long Qie go away, but the other party suddenly stopped, turned to look at him and asked, "Who are you?"
"Uh...a nobody." Han Xin replied.
Long Qie chuckled and strode away from here.
Seeing Long Qie completely leaving, Gao Jianli stared at Han Xin and asked:
"You call yourself a nobody, but you know far more than a nobody."
Han Xin turned around, looked at them, and answered some irrelevant words:
"When I have nothing to do, I like to play chess as a pastime. If I can clearly understand the pros and cons of each position on the chessboard, even if I have no chance of winning, I can at least prevent myself from being eliminated."
This sounds like it has no beginning and no end, but it is actually Han Xin explaining why he knows so much - because he is used to collecting as much information as possible.
As for how it was collected, that has nothing to do with anyone else.
Intelligence channels cannot be leaked casually even to close partners, not to mention they are not familiar enough with each other.
Gao Jianli thought for a moment, then didn't press the topic again, and instead asked:
"So your presence here is part of the chess game?"
Han Xin did not answer directly, but reminded them:
"Including you, everyone here and now is involved in the situation."
"You have a deep connection with the empire, and you have come to get close to those of us who are rebels from the empire, and you have also been in contact with the Sixth Hall of the Farm..."
Han Xin pursed his lips and smiled, "Mr. Gao knows a lot."
Then he took the initiative and asked, "Have you had contact with people from the farmers' families before?"
Gao Jianli hesitated for a moment and did not hide anything, "I did have contact with Tian Hu and Tian Zhong."
"How is the result?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
Han Xin smiled, turned around again, and slowly left here while saying, "Drunk people can be woken up, but people who pretend to be drunk can't hear anything."
"You mean we found the wrong person?" Gao Jianli asked.
"Perhaps there is only one person in the farm family who can still be truly sober."
After leaving these words, Han Xin quickly walked away.
Sledgehammer scratched his head and muttered in dissatisfaction, "One favor on the left, another favor on the right, they talk in a nonchalant manner, and they always start a sentence but don't finish a sentence. I annoy people like this the most!"
Gao Jianli chuckled and responded, "He reminds me of another person. If the two of them meet, they will probably be matched."
"Huh?" Big Iron Hammer glanced at Gao Jianli in confusion, and then at Han Xin's increasingly blurry back.
Gao Jianli ignored Big Iron Hammer's curiosity, turned to look at Xiaoyaozi and asked:
"Mr. Xiaoyao thinks who is the 'sober' person among the farmers he calls?"
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and thought deeply, each of the six hall masters passed through his mind, and then he eliminated them one by one, and he gradually got a clue.
He looked at Gao Jianli, who seemed to have some concerns in his mind.
………………
Daze Mountain, the boundary of Luomapo.
Ji Bu, who had successfully snatched the Stone of Fire, was riding wildly in the forest.
Along this direction, he will soon be able to leave the area of Luomapo - this area is the territory of the Tian clan, and leaving here is equivalent to leaving the most dangerous area.
Just as he was walking by a tree, an alarm bell suddenly rang in his heart.
Not good! There is murderous intent!
As soon as the thought came to my mind, a bit of cold light appeared from behind the tree.
Fortunately, Ji Bu's reaction speed was not slow, and he drew out the sword from his waist - Shadow Tiger in time. The hilt of the sword and the scabbard were light blue, the sword grid and the head were light purple, and the scabbard was engraved with "
The delicate long sword has floral patterns, tiger-shaped patterns printed on the blade, and a tiger-head-shaped sword grid, which fits well with Ji Bu's title of "Tiger Hidden Among the Flowers."
The Shadow Tiger Sword clashed fiercely with the blade attacking Ji Bu, causing a series of sparks to collide. Ji Bu himself was finally lifted into the air and flew into the air with his body arched.
His attacker was also revealed in full at this time - it was the rugged man who had buried the armor accompanied by the little girl before, and he was also the helper Tian Mi had found.
The former commander of Chu Kingdom’s Thunder Leopard Army, Ying Bu!
After Ji Bu turned over and landed on the ground, his eyes were quite complicated as he stared at Yingbu, who was eyeing him eagerly.
Yingbu made no secret of his murderous intent and hostility.
The two of them were actually acquaintances - of course they were acquaintances. They were both commanders of the former King of Chu's flagship legion, so how could they not be familiar with each other.
Just looking at their current attitudes toward each other, it's not difficult to tell that the relationship is probably broken.
