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?"

Zhou Xian smirked as he cupped his fist and said, "General Qi, Sir Wang means that since you must assassinate the general of Yi Wu Lu and you don't want our army to be harmed, you should be assigned to a few men from Shan Shan Shan Country. That's the only talents left on their side. If we want our troops to survive, we have to use their soldiers as insurance. If you are not satisfied, why don't I go and report to your excellency Wang? I will choose another twenty, but since the military situation is so urgent, I am afraid there will not be enough time. "

When Huyan Yanjie heard that Zhou Xian had humiliated the men of Shansan, he was infuriated. Aren't these Chinese bullying people too much? I was a former general of Shansan, too.

He had never been so humiliated, and he was indignant for Chen Min. "Bullsh * t! You are just a soldier, and yet you have an order but you can't do it. Do you think my master is a fool? Can't see your dirty tricks? "

Huyan Jie has been in high position for a long time, her tone was filled with dignity. Zhou Xian saw that she did not dare to offend him and quickly waved her hands, "Where did you come up with that? It's all because of you …" "Why don't I ask him again to help change General Chen?"

Chen Mubai just smiled and said, "No need, since it is the military superintendent's intention, let's do it this way." When I return in triumph, these twenty people will each be rewarded. It's been hard on you. "

Zhou Xian saw that Chen Mi seemed to be weak, so he did not worry about Huyan Jie making things difficult for him. He smiled apologetically, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's all for the nation …"

Chen Mu snorted and said to the twenty men, "Come! "Tie Zhou Xian up, and we'll take him with us!"

The twenty veterans were in charge of cooking and lighting fires in the army. How could they fight? They knew they were going to die, so they naturally held a grudge against Zhou Xian. They were not in the army, so they did not need to listen to him.

Zhou Xian turned pale with fright. "General, what is the meaning of this?"

Chen Mu sneered. "Didn't you say we were all here to help the nation? I gave you this chance, don't you want to help the nation? "

"That still shouldn't have tied me up!" Zhou Xian roared. Many generals and soldiers turned to look when he shouted. Wang Zhi was also in front of his tent, watching from afar, not knowing what had happened.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be willing to help, so I tied you up. "So, you're willing to help the country?"

"If I don't work for the country, why would I come to the Western Regions?" Zhou Xian could only say this, but he was secretly regretting in his heart. If he had known earlier that this would happen, he really would have called all of the military's best fighters over.

Chen Mu unsheathed his sword and slashed across Zhou Xian's face. The tip of the blade grazed Zhou Xian's nose and cut a hair off his forehead, but Zhou Xian was unharmed. He only felt a flash of cold light and the rope on his body snapped back, and Chen Mu's sword was already back in its scabbard, unsheathed, and retracted at an incomparable speed.

"So many people are watching. You said it yourself. We're departing at night, so you can take part in the credit, but …" If I come back victorious and find out that it wasn't the overseer who asked you to do this, I will punish you according to military law! You better take care of yourself! "

In the distance, Wang Zhi could not help but frown. He thought to himself, "This Chen Mu really has some ability."
