The ninth chapter of Huaiyi 1
Although this mansion belongs to Doctor Kunwu, Doctor Kunwu obviously came by chance. So there is obviously a supervisor responsible for the daily affairs here. Needless to ask, the old man who presented the booklet (not too old) was the supervisor designated by Doctor Kunwu. Now Zhang Cheng needs to designate another one again. This supervisor is one person below everyone.
Zhang Cheng was about to set out to attack Huaiyi, and he went there for more than ten or even dozens of days.
"What's your name?" Zhang Cheng asked. With the eyes of a modern person, he could easily feel that the mansion was taken good care of. Doctor Kunwu must not come often, and it was the supervisor who was in good condition. Since that's the case, he didn't need to change one.
The old man bowed deeply, "I am a little bitch. I took a fancy to Dr. Kunwu, and I have been following this mansion for many years."
This person speaks very well and directly implies that he has both ability and experience, even Doctor Kunwu likes it.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is normal. This is an era of slow spread of knowledge, and being able to read is a talent. There are also a small number of talents among slaves who can read literacy. Their bodies are one of them.
"Okay," Zhang Cheng nodded. "Although this place belongs to me, everything is as usual. I am not here, and you are responsible for it."
His body was overjoyed, but he tried to keep his face calm and bowed deeply again. After the gift, he turned around and looked at the other servants behind him. This time, the pride and joy on his face were not hidden. Especially the new man named Jia. He even gave the other party a ridiculous look, but Jia didn't look at him at all.
"Okay, you guys go there." Zhang Cheng said.
The servants scattered around. Zhang Cheng turned around and wanted to go into the house to take a look, but found that Jia followed him.
"Jia, what are you doing?" The young man, who had just been promoted to the manager, grabbed the young man and immediately apologized to Zhang Cheng. "Young Master, this is a newcomer, and has not yet entrusted the task, so he is ignorant and offended..."
"No, let him follow me." Zhang Cheng opened his mouth, and immediately closed his mouth obediently, put Jia and followed Zhang Cheng into the room.
"Jia, what's your business?" To be honest, Zhang Cheng had not yet figured out how to face Jia. The last time the two sides were together, they were comrades-in-arms. But when they met this time, their relationship had become master slaves. Perhaps the natives in this world were more likely to accept this change of identity and could face it normally, but Zhang Cheng was a time traveler after all, and he was a little confused about this situation. So he finally faced Jia with the attitude of pretending that nothing happened.
"Young Master Zhang Cheng!" Jia immediately knelt down without hesitation. "I heard that you are going to attack Huaiyi."
"Yes, Doctor Kunwu regards me as the two Simas, leads three chariots and hundreds of soldiers to attack Huaiyi." Zhang Cheng replied. The public order for this matter has been issued, and it is no longer a secret.
"Young Master, Huaiyi... Huaiyi should not be attacked lightly!" Jia suddenly said.
"Why?"
"This matter is probably because Qian wants to be unfavorable to the young master!" Jia said.
Although he lowered his head, Zhang Cheng could clearly hear that every voice made by Jia was gritting his teeth.
"Qian... Why is it against me?" Even now, Zhang Cheng has not yet fully understood what is going on. In his opinion, the two sides obviously have no conflict of interest. Qian is inexplicably unhappy with him? But at least he is 10 charming, so he is not so ugly that it makes people uncomfortable at first sight, right?
"Because Doctor Kunwu may think that the young master is the heir to the guidance of the great master Zhurong!"
"God Zhurong said this...has the oracle issued?" Zhang Cheng himself was confused. Is there such a thing? But if you think about it carefully, Doctor Kunwu's attitude is indeed a bit too enthusiastic and generous, and there is also the strange performance of Pastor Hou Ji... and others seem to have a little ambiguous and weird appearance. If there is an oracle, then their attitude will be easy to understand.
"Not clear. But...but...He did show your appearance to Doctor Kunwu. Many people saw it." Jia said.
Zhang Cheng came back to his senses and a new question arose.
"Then...Doctor Kunwu... Why don't you ask the master carefully?"
"That... it is very difficult to find an oracle. Only descendants of gods like the Emperor or the Kunwu Doctor are qualified. But even for them, this is a very difficult and troublesome thing." Jia began to explain. Zhang Cheng's ignorance is normal in this regard, because although there are many bloodlines of gods in this world, there are very few gods recognized by gods like Kunwu Doctor. Moreover, asking for an oracle requires sacrificial sacrifices, and such sacrifices basically cost a lot of money.
To put it bluntly, those with money are not qualified, and those with qualifications are not rich. Therefore, although the oracle is reliable, it is rare.
The precious opportunity to seek oracle cannot be wasted. Although the matter of heir is important, it is not very important. To put it bluntly, although Doctor Kunwu has no descendants, he is not old after all. Even according to the standards of this world, it is okay for him to live for another twenty or thirty years. It is not surprising that he will give birth to another heir until he grows up to adulthood.
"So... the original decision to be relocated to the heir was hostile to me..." Zhang Cheng understood.
In the eyes of Doctor Kunwu, he is a very subtle identity. He may or may not be the heir to Doctor Kunwu.
If the great god Zhurong had clearly designated it, then at this moment, he would probably have been adopted as his adopted son and publicly confirmed as his heir. After all, the gods were designated by the gods, so there was no doubt. However, the gods were not clear, so the situation would become more ambiguous.
Zhang Chengmeng remembered that there is also a chance to obtain the bloodline of the gods in the game of Quanrong. The third act has a very difficult and prone to failure. If it is completed successfully, he will have a chance to have a bloodline of the gods. Unfortunately, he still has a garbled code when passing the level, so he cannot tell whether Zhurong's bloodline is one of the alternatives. But it should be almost the same. If Zhurong's bloodline is obtained in the game, you can add 2 in all attributes, and be respected by all Zhurong believers, and the flame spells are additionally enhanced. In reality, in addition to these benefits... Doctor Kunwu will probably choose him as his heir.
He shook his head and drove away these messy thoughts. There were more important things at the moment.
Jia lowered his head, and the anger of revenge was burning in his heart.
Human feelings are a very wonderful thing. Yesterday he knew that he would be sold to an unknown distance, and his heart was ashamed. But now, the idea of revenge is burning like an unstoppable wildfire, occupying his entire heart.
He would not have fallen to this point. He had a bright future. He could have expected more in life. But now, everything has been shattered. From a soldier favored by his boss, he has been reduced to a pathetic slave.
This is not because of his ability or encounter, but because he was deceived and betrayed, and he fell to this miserable level.
Jia Zhongyi completed his task. Although Zhang Cheng was not dead, it was not his fault. But the price of his loyalty was not the promised reward and protection, but abandonment and frame-up.
How can you not hate? How can you not hate!
He already knew that the Kunwu Doctor had appointed Zhang Cheng to lead the army, and also knew that the Qian was appointed Deputy Zhang Cheng. As a soldier, he knew very well that if the Kunwu Doctor brought the entire army in Kunwu City, the Huaiyi would naturally be vulnerable, but the military strength of the three chariots and hundreds of soldiers was too weak.
In other words, this battle to attack Huaiyi is a typical battle to defeat the more with fewer and attack the strong with weaker. The key to winning this battle is to attack the people unprepared and take advantage of the Huaiyi's unpreparedness to severely damage them. Otherwise, when both sides show their chariots and horses to fight a head-on battle, the chances of winning this force are very slim. Although the subordinates of Kunwu are all elite, the number of Huaiyi is too great.
In this kind of battle, the commander must charge into battle and cannot hide behind him to command.
If you want to plot, then the adjutant is the best position. Qi doesn't even need to do it yourself. On the battlefield, a mistaken command, a warning loophole, a lack of reinforcements, or even a secret tacit cooperation with Huaiyi can make Zhang Cheng die inexplicably.
But the premise of all this is that Zhang Cheng knows nothing about Qian's conspiracy. If Zhang Cheng is prepared in advance, Qian will also easily die inexplicably.
The commander plots for the deputy, which is much easier than the deputy plots for the commander. Because the former can openly order the latter to die, but the latter cannot disobey.
Jia now hopes to move to death.
"And, the young master may not know that he had secretly tried to attack Huaiyi before the relocation." Jia was already very clear that he wanted to tell Zhang Cheng clearly about this matter.
There were no residents in the swamps. Of course, this resident was talking about smart creatures. After all, the swamps are full of water, insects, epidemics, and quagmire, which is not suitable for humans to live in.
The Huaiyi tribe, which now entrenches the swamp, came from somewhere a few years ago. It is strange to say that Kunwu City is also considered a royal area. The Kunwu doctor is a vassal of the Zhou emperor. Logically speaking, when Huaiyi moves over, he will definitely be noticed or even attacked by other princes in the middle. But the origin of these Huaiyi is very strange, and they appear in the swamp for no reason. When nearby residents notice it, they have already settled in the swamp.
As a high-level spell caster, Doctor Kunwu quickly understood the situation of Huaiyi. The Huaiyi tribe is not powerful, which is the level of more than a thousand people. Even if there are subsequent immigrants, the total number is only a few thousand. The real trouble is the swamp, where Doctor Kunwu's elite chariots cannot be used in the swamp. If Doctor Kunwu dares to leave the swamp, Doctor Kunwu can destroy Huaiyi in only half a day at most, but fighting in the swamp will have to be laborious and time-consuming.
Moreover, these Huaiyi seemed to understand the strength comparison between the two sides. They rarely left the swamp and never took the initiative to attack local residents. Therefore, even Doctor Kunwu regarded Huaiyi as a trouble rather than a threat, and was too lazy to destroy them for the time being.
Of course, the situation is completely different at this time. If Doctor Kunwu could have predicted today, no matter how hard he worked, he would have to eliminate these Huaiyi in advance.
However, if Doctor Kunwu doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care. As the default heir of Doctor Kunwu, Qian has always wanted to make some achievements. After learning about this, Qian once secretly recruited people, intending to conquer Huaiyi, so as to give Doctor Kunwu a surprise and consolidate his status as heir.
But the final result was that Qian had already pieced together the army, but after reconnaissance, he retreated before the battle broke out.
Jia participated in that action, so he knew some details.
"Young Master Zhang Cheng, there are Huaiyi in the swamp, but it is not just Huaiyi." Jia said.
Of course, he didn't know that the other party was a time traveler, and he didn't know that the other party was a game expert who had passed the Quanrong game several times.
Zhang Cheng is very familiar with Huaiyi's situation. At least he is very familiar with the game. In the real world, according to Zhang Cheng's current experience, although there is a certain difference from the game, it is not very big.
Of course he didn't dare to say it in front of others. As a time traveler, he was very unqualified. Because he had no memory of the original owner, he kept it all the time and was exposed by the natives.
This is not a worry. Before, a ghost easily exposed his identity as a time traveler in the dungeon of Immortality. Fortunately, the ghost had no malice and was about to die, so this incident did not cause any sequelae. But if it was exposed by an existence like Doctor Kunwu...
As long as Doctor Kunwu becomes suspicious, Zhang Cheng believes that the other party must have the means to expose his identity.
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to consider the consequences after being exposed. Anyway, even if you think about it with your toes, you will know that it will definitely be bad.
"What else is there except Huaiyi?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"I don't know this. Qian went to reconnaissance himself, but after he came back, he didn't say anything, but chose to withdraw his troops directly." Jia said. Although he didn't know what that was, anyone knew that retreating without fighting was a blow to Qian's reputation. Being able to tolerate this blow and not willing to take risks, it was obvious that this enemy was definitely not simple.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng's attempt to attack Huaiyi must be a dangerous battle. On the one hand, the enemy is stronger than expected, and on the other hand, there are plots behind him. Not only should we be careful of the enemy, but also our own people. Then the best way is undoubtedly to use Huaiyi's hands to kill the migrant first.
Zhang Cheng thought about it and suddenly said, "Jia, I don't have a chariot or a war horse, what should I do?"
"You can buy it." Jia replied immediately. "Just like in Kunwu City."
