Chapter 770: Things are different and people are different.
"You...what you want me to do...if...if I can do it, I will do my best..."
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Xing Daorong was still a little panicked.
No matter how you look at it, Cao Cao's smiling face doesn't look like a good person, does it?
"General Xing - relax."
"It's not easy to talk while being tied up like this. If General Xing agrees, how about I send someone to untie General Xing?"
"The Prime Minister has also prepared wine and food. We can eat and chat at the same time. Why is it so tense? You think so, General Xing?"
"Yes...yes, yes! There is no need to fight or kill! As long as the Prime Minister is willing and willing to loosen my restraints, I promise not to move around randomly!"
With Xing Daorong's promise, Cao Cao nodded to Li Fu next to him.
Li Fu drew a sharp knife from his back, and before Xing Daorong could see clearly, he instantly cut off the hemp ropes on his hands and feet.
Suddenly losing his support, Xing Daorong fell from mid-air, but it was obvious...the three days of torture had made him tired of this feeling.
So even though he fell to the ground at this moment, Xing Daorong quickly got up, endured the pain in his soles, and knelt down to worship Cao Cao.
Seeing Xing Daorong's appearance, Cao Cao laughed to himself, waved and left the prison first.
"General Xing, please follow me. If you have trouble moving, just tell the people next to you and they will take you to the Prime Minister's house. The Prime Minister will take the lead here."
"Thank...Thank you, Prime Minister, for not killing me! You...you go slowly!"
As Cao Cao disappeared around the corner, Xing Daorong lay on the ground, still unable to believe that the other party let him go like this.
But recalling what Cao Cao said just now - what use he is to the other party, this is something Xing Daorong can't figure out.
…
To be honest, the feeling of being carried while walking on the road was a bit uncomfortable, especially when passers-by kept looking at her, and Xing Daorong couldn't hide away even if he wanted to.
But there is no way - the injury on his foot has not healed yet. At this moment, he is being carried on a simple sedan chair. Fortunately, the lifter is strong enough. To outsiders, Xing Daorong looks like he is being carried on a stick.
The fat pig, how funny, how funny.
"Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibilities to this people, and they must first work hard on their minds and muscles..."
Along the way, Xing Daorong used this famous saying to numb himself, until he came to the door and saw the smiling bearded scribe, who blurted out:
"General Xing, I have admired you for a long time! I, Xun You, have temporarily taken up the position of military advisor of the Central Military Commission beside the Prime Minister. If General Xing is not around, you can just call me to express my gratitude."
Xun You!
Well, just after leaving the prison, the famous ministers around Cao Cao appeared in front of Xing Daorong one after another. Just now, there was a square-faced man named Cao Xiu who glared at him all the way. If he hadn't had the task of patrolling the city, Xing Daorong
Daorong really didn't know how to get up.
At this time, Xun You, known as Cao Cao's "mastermind", also appeared in front of him, which made Xing Daorong suddenly feel flattered.
He was struggling to get off the sedan, but under Xun You's signal, Xing Daorong didn't bother too much.
Xun You had a good impression of Xing Daorong as soon as he saw Xing Daorong. Although Jiang Wan was the one he wanted this time, if possible, it wouldn't be a bad thing to keep Xing Daorong by their side as a guard?
However, business still needs to be done.
Under Xun You's guidance, several people carried Xing Daorong directly into the palace. Along the way, they met the Shen brothers and other courtiers who were staying in Nanzheng City to deal with trivial matters. It was not until the front of the hall where Cao Cao was that everyone carried him
Xing Daorong put it down.
"General Xing, are you here?"
Cao Cao has been waiting at the door for a long time.
Xing Daorong was ecstatic when he heard Cao Cao's voice. He stopped being pretentious now. No matter how painful his feet were, he would stand up and kneel down to express his submission.
Isn't this natural?
Xing Daorong claimed to be General Lingling and showed off his power in a small place, but in fact his heart was quite empty.
Lingling Yi has no future and has no future. Being able to switch to the Ming Dynasty has long been what he expected.
Although he was recruited by Liu Bei before, Xing Daorong did not cause trouble because of his trust in Liu Xian and Liu Du.
Now - he was captured. Even if he surrendered and defected to Cao Cao, no one could blame him, right?
When he thought of this, Xing Daorong finally showed an innocent smile after being away for several months.
Looking at Xing Daorong's big yellow teeth, Cao Cao suddenly lost the mood to greet him. However, because this was part of Jiang Wan's plan, Cao Cao reluctantly came over.
Cao Cao still wants to maintain the image of a polite and virtuous corporal.
Xing Daorong helped Xing Daorong up. Xing Daorong stood up moved and excited, just shy of giving Cao Cao a hug.
Of course, it is not impossible for Xing Daorong, who is similar in size to Xu Chu, to be given a bear hug by him and later be convicted of assassinating the prime minister.
However--
It seems that the beautiful fantasy ends here.
It wasn't until Xing Daorong sat down that he realized that in the huge hall, apart from the food and wine on the table, there were only three people at the table.
Deserted... This was an inexplicable deserted... Of course, there was also a strange seriousness, which soon made Xing Daorong stop laughing.
"Prime Minister...this...this little brother is?"
When Xing Daorong finally spoke, Cao Cao toasted to Xing Daorong with a smile on his face, and then explained:
"General Xing, don't be cautious. This Jiang Wan and Jiang Gongyan is also one of the many advisers of the truth. It was his idea to release you from prison. If you want to thank me, you might as well thank Gongyan."
Upon hearing this, Xing Daorong's brain started to work rapidly.
Jiang Gongyan?
It turns out that this person saved him...
Wait a moment?
He was stunned for about ten breaths. Xing Daorong didn't say anything, and Cao Cao and Jiang Wan across from him didn't say anything either. They just drank quietly.
Suddenly Xing Daorong stood up from the futon, and the desk in front of him was overturned. Drinks were scattered on the floor. When the guards outside the door heard the noise, they rushed in with swords and axes.
As a result, Cao Cao raised his hand and stopped the sergeants:
"Nothing, please exit!"
——
"Jiang...Jiang Wan...it's...it's really you!"
Because he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe what he heard, so Xing Daorong swallowed nervously, then rubbed his eyes——
It's a pity that everything happening now is reality.
The young man sitting not far away from him, side by side with Cao Cao, if not Jiang Wan, who else could he be?
A few months ago, just before Liu Bei attacked Lingling, he confronted Jiang Wan in front of his lord Liu Du and his benefactor Liu Xian... The situation at that time flashed through Xing Daorong's mind.
Because...he, the dignified Xing Daorong, was refuted by an unknown petty official and was left speechless. He even became so angry that he almost wanted to teach Jiang Wan a lesson outside the palace.
But in the end, Jiang Wan left alone. From then on, Xing Daorong never saw Jiang Wan again.
At that time, when Jiang Wan said that they would be defeated, Xing Daorong was still unconvinced, but subsequent facts proved that, except for the unexpected ambush that caught Zhuge Liang off guard, Liu Bei's army led by Zhang Fei defeated Lingling in less than three days.
city--
Just as Jiang Wan expected.
As for Xingdao Rongzhao's guerrilla warfare method?
