Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2097 Wisdom and Bravery

   "The weather is getting cold, tell the kitchen to prepare some soup."

When Liu Xing came back to his senses, he heard a middle-aged man's voice sounding from the side, "Now we have retired to the mountains and forests, and we have to figure out how to be self-sufficient, so tomorrow I will take everyone to a nearby Find a suitable flat land and build a Wangjia Village that belongs to us.”

  Hearing this, Liu Xing knew that the man who spoke should be Wang Anhai, and the current timeline should be that he has just retired to the mountains and is preparing to set up camp in the future Wangjia Village.

   "Fortunately, Lao He is a fastidious person, and he is still willing to give us a hand even now, otherwise we will all have to become that kind of people without identity."

  A female voice said: "If it wasn't for Lao He, we might have been eaten alive by those princes. After all, we almost killed their father."

"Haha, Arlene, you are wrong to say that. Back then, the New Dragon Emperor was only one step away from taking over the world, and this is why the New Dragon Emperor was willing to let me go. After all, Qianjin City is a horse bone. At this time, he Regardless of previous suspicions, if he accepts me as his general, then other former officials like me will choose to surrender; and the fact is indeed the case, after I chose to join the new Dragon Emperor, the remaining famous prefects all started The city surrendered, which saved the new Dragon Emperor a lot of time and a lot of casualties, and the most important thing is that he also got the support of more people, and he saved a lot of trouble after becoming the emperor."

Wang Anhai smiled and said: "However, I know that the children of the New Dragon Emperor wished that he would be cut off by me at that time, because the remaining problems are a bit troublesome, but as long as they are willing to spend time and effort, those problems can be solved. It can still be solved, after all, the biggest problems have been solved by the new dragon emperor; so if something happens to the new dragon emperor, then one of them can become the new dragon emperor, not the standing prince , the gap between the two is not so big, so some princes will not only not blame me, but thank me instead."

   Something.

  According to what Yu Lei and others said before, Liu Xing felt that Wang Anhai seemed to be a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill, but now it seems that Wang Anhai is also a smart person who understands his position very well.

   It seems that the reason why he chose to go back to the mountains and forests back then may have been deliberate.

   "Well, so there are so many things worth talking about here, so you are so eager to leave now?" Arlene asked angrily.

"That's right, I found that those princes are a little bit ready to move, because the new Dragon Emperor has not confirmed who is the prince for so many years, so even the great prince who is theoretically most likely to inherit the great rule has to panic at this time Ah, after all, he should be the crown prince in every respect."

Wang Anhai said seriously: "Although I am very powerful, there are not many people in the entire Xinlong Empire who can defeat me on the battlefield, but the problem is that the Xinlong Empire has been at peace for a long time, and there is no longer a need for a fierce general like me." , not to mention that I am still a subdued general, so it is not my turn to play in many battles; the most important thing is that the main reason why the new dragon emperor recruited me is that I have just told you, so I have been in the field all these years I pretended to be crazy and foolish, I didn’t want the new Dragon Emperor to think that I was plotting something, but in the end, everything was on my guard, and something happened in the end.”

   "What's the matter?" Arlene asked.

   "Just two days ago, the former crown prince sent someone to contact me, asking me to complete the tasks that I hadn't completed that year when I went to court one day."

Wang Anhai sighed, and said helplessly: "I naturally chose to refuse. After all, my kung fu can only be used on the battlefield, and I have to have a handy weapon, so that guy said he would Prepare a weapon for me, but I reckon it's just a sword, so let me take this thing to fight against the martial arts masters under the new dragon emperor, that is to want me to die."

   It's the former prince again! Why is there him everywhere?

But Liu Xing thought about it again, and felt that this was quite reasonable, because the former prince had not yet reached the point where the wall was overthrown by everyone, so he was still thinking about turning the tables against the wind, so it was normal to think of Wang Anhai The situation, after all, although Wang Anhai is being excluded at this time, he can still go to court, so he has the opportunity to attack the new Dragon Emperor! What's more, Wang Anhai is also an enemy of ten thousand people, theoretically he can successfully slay a dragon.

   But, times have changed.

In the memory of "Liu Peng", after the new dragon emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the status of martial arts masters also increased, and at the same time, their combat effectiveness became higher and higher, because many martial arts masters who followed the new dragon emperor were rewarded and also It is all kinds of natural treasures and panacea, so these martial arts masters have been greatly improved in terms of internal strength.

This is like a sports car, although the various hardware levels are already very high, but it can only use some low-quality gasoline before, and the amount of gasoline is also a bit tricky, so the speed is not fast, and at the same time When you press the accelerator, the fuel gauge starts to light up red. The most important thing is that if the engine of some sports cars uses low-quality gasoline, it is likely to be damaged.

And now, these martial arts masters who have been rewarded are like sports cars that have finally been replaced with high-quality gasoline. In a word, a first-rate master before the new Dragon Emperor ascended the throne will be equivalent to a second-rate master ten years later, and now it may only be equivalent to a third-rate master at his peak.

  Of course, this is quite normal in Liu Xing’s view. It’s like most sports. If the world championship results decades ago are put into the present, they may not even be able to enter the qualifying rounds of the World Championships.

   But having said that, based on the analysis of Wang Anhai's words, does Liu Xing think he can draw a conclusion--Wang Anhai and the former prince "resurrected the old relationship"!

  Although Wang Anhai rejected the former prince’s proposal, Liu Xing can extract a message from Wang Anhai’s words—the main reason why I, Wang Anhai, is unwilling to do this is that I cannot beat the martial arts masters around the new Dragon Emperor.

   Judging from Wang Anhai’s willingness to join the New Dragon Emperor, and the fact that he has seen the situation clearly and chose to retreat bravely, he should be in line with one sentence—a man who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Therefore, Wang Anhai is a rational and cautious person, unwilling to do things that have no chance of winning. Liu Xing reckons that there is another important reason why he has retreated bravely now, and that is that he is worried that the former prince will "do it" because of himself. Disobedience and disobedience" to frame him, and the handle is still ready.

  After all, when the envoy of the current crown prince met Wang Anhai, Wang Anhai had a handle in the hands of the other party.

Therefore, in order to avoid being in a very passive state, Wang Anhai suddenly chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, and even made some fake moves in advance. If so, such a fake move will not fool too many people.

   Besides, Wang Anhai just said that the reason why he came here was because a friend named Lao He could provide them with an identity.

Just like those villagers in Jun Township, they have taken root in the local area many years ago, but they have never obtained a formal identity. After all, they all came from other places, and their previous identities are no longer easy to verify. But today's Wangjia Village is different. This village is clearly registered, and the villagers all have normal identities, so the relationship between Lao He and Wang Anhai is really good, and they can take such a big risk. help.

But more importantly, according to the normal operating procedures, if Wang's Village only appeared after Wang Anhai arrived, it is likely to arouse suspicion. After all, a new village can't be established just because it is established. There are things that need to be done. There are quite a few, such as determining the identity of the villagers and the reason for establishing the new village, as well as delineating the general scope of the village, the area of ​​cultivated land and the type of planting. After all, these information must be registered in the local fish scale atlas.

  So things like this need to start planning many years in advance, preparing such a village that doesn't exist in advance, waiting for Wang Anhai to move in.

   But then again, Liu Xing suddenly had a bold idea, that is, could the "Old He" in Wang Anhai's mouth have something to do with Mr. He?

According to Wang Anhai, the reason why he was able to be recruited by the new dragon emperor back then was actually due to the old He. It can be seen that the old He was also a famous person back then, so he was able to meet and convince the new Dragon Emperor.

Moreover, the relationship between Wang Anhai and Lao He is very good. From this point of view, Lao He should have known Wang Anhai for many years, that is to say, Lao He should also belong to the same general as Wang Anhai, but his status may not be as high as Wang Anhai. Therefore, Wang Anhai can stay with Xinlongdi on duty, while Lao He works in a small place like Feicheng. Of course, it may be a higher level, but it is not much higher.

  Then the question is, is it possible that this old He has something to do with Manager He?

Although the surname "He" is quite common, in "Liu Peng"'s impression, under the rule of the third prince, there are really not many big families with the surname He, so the range of choices is relatively small. Lao He's family should be within this range.

Secondly, based on Lao He's ability, he should be valued by the third prince. After all, just being able to persuade the new Dragon Emperor to recruit Wang Anhai shows that Lao He is also courageous and resourceful, and at the same time values ​​love and righteousness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come forward to do such a worthless thing that everything would be fine, but he would have to risk his life if he didn't.

  So for a talent like this, Liu Xing felt that if he was the third prince who had just arrived, he should be promoted as his confidant, not to mention that Lao He is also an "outsider" who is not welcomed by others like himself.

   Needless to say about the situation of the third prince, except for the relative of Xinlongdi, the other brothers and sisters don't like him very much, because he may be the adopted son of Xinlongdi. . .

As long as the third prince cannot prove that he is the biological son of the new dragon emperor, then 90% of the people will think that he may be the adopted son of the new dragon emperor, while the other princes who have direct conflicts of interest with him will be 100% sure. Think he is not his own brother!

  So Yu Lei also mentioned before that during the time when the third prince was with the new Dragon Emperor, he would be ridiculed by the other princes either overtly or secretly, almost every day.

   So what about Lao He?

If Liu Xing's previous guess is correct, then although this Lao He may have become the prefect of a certain city, his status as a general is easily excluded, or it is a matter of discord between the face and the heart. Simply not too much.

Therefore, when the third prince came to his fief and met Lao He who had a similar situation as himself, he would choose to take him under his command in all likelihood, because Lao He was capable first, and the third prince was second It can be regarded as knowing the basics of Lao He, so the third prince can rest assured that Lao He can do things for him, especially some private matters.

"By the way, did we really get rid of the emissary of the former prince? I am most worried about this person now. If he still follows us, then our situation will be bad." Arlene was a little worried Said.

   "Don't worry, I got rid of him before I left, but I can't guarantee whether the former prince will keep his hands, so let's take a step and see." Wang Anhai said.

Um?

Hearing Wang Anhai's words, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question, that is, if the former crown prince really sent someone to find Wangjiacun, would there be such a situation, that is, there are hidden former princes in Wangjiacun? The men and horses facing the prince, or simply replaced by the men and horses of the former prince?

Although Wang Anhai is very powerful, his descendants may not be so powerful. At that time, the prince of the former dynasty was also a thin camel who was bigger than a horse. He wanted to take care of a small Wangjia Village, especially after Wang Anhai was gone. There should be no problem with the Wangjia Village, right?

  Thinking of this question, Liu Xing recalled a scene, that is, Yu Lei took down those villagers in Wangjia Village like cutting melons and vegetables.

   Logically speaking, as the hunters of Wangjia Village, these villagers have naturally learned the martial arts left by Wang Anhai, so although their strength is not as good as Yu Lei's, they will not be beaten helplessly.

   So someone is lying? !

   Realizing this, Liu Xing suddenly woke up and sat up in a cold sweat.

   At this time, Yu Lei and Xie Feng were still sleeping soundly, but Liu Xing knew that in terms of their strength, they would wake up as long as they heard a little unusual movement.

   Liu Xing looked around and found nothing unusual.
