Chapter 138 Hidden (IV)

"Gee, gee..."

Looking at the strange expression on Chen Mo's face, Zhang Ning couldn't help but giggle, and unconsciously dispelled the traces of sadness in her eyes.

"The little woman said that the general is a genuine person!" Xiumu glanced at Chen Mo, Zhang Ning said with a hint of shame and anger, "Don't you know... it's... how would the general think that the little woman would marry him once the strange man saw her face?"

Chen Mo was speechless when she read what she thought in her heart. She felt embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a strange look flashing in Zhang Ning's eyes. She walked a few steps towards Chen Mo. Finally, she stood almost in front of Chen Mo. The veil on her face was only one foot away from Chen Mo.

"Martial Arts Novel?" Zhang Ning seemed to have seen something, and she sang softly. When she heard the tone in her speech, she seemed to be very confused about it. After looking at Chen Mo for a few glances, she suddenly said in surprise, "General... isn't a person in this world? He actually comes from a thousand years later?"

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. You must know that over the past few years, he had almost gradually forgotten the fact that he had come from later generations. However, Zhang Ning's words made him suddenly nervous.

"How wonderful, amazing! - There is such a mysterious thing in the world!" As he said, Zhang Ning seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Chen Mo and said enthusiastically, "Why is the general so stingy? Let the little girl, those iron boxes that can run..."

"A car?" Looking at the eyes that seemed to be able to talk, Chen Mo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. To be honest, even though he was open-minded, he didn't want others to know about this matter.

Perhaps it was because she read Chen Mo’s thoughts at this moment that Zhang Ning realized her loss of composure, and she showed some regret in her eyes, and said apologetically, "The little woman was offended just now, I hope the general will forgive her for her crime!" As she said that, she laughed at herself, "The general must be very angry, the little woman has such a talent that is unlike any ordinary person..."

Seeing her showing a self-pitying look, Chen Mo felt unbearable for some reason and interrupted, "Miss, don't be accustomed to it. Chen has no intention of blaming the girl, just..."

"Just what?" Zhang Ning turned his head and looked at Chen Mo.

"It just feels a little weird..."

I don’t know if I read what Chen Mo was thinking or felt by Chen Mo’s hilarious embarrassing expression, Zhang Ning giggled, looked at Chen Mo up and down a few times, and said softly, “For the first time I met, the little woman felt that the general was not a very human being. But even so, she never thought that the general had such an experience. It was really... unbelievable!”

"This..." Chen Mo smiled bitterly and said as if he was self-deprecating, "Until now, Chen is also a little surprised by this matter..."

"So, is the general alone here?"

"Yes... yes," Chen Mo nodded subconsciously. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He shook his head and was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Ning's red lips lightly open and said with a smile, "So that's it! - It turns out that the general is married, so isn't he alone?"

“Uh…yes!”

Looking at the embarrassment on Chen Mo's face, Zhang Ning sighed slightly, and then said softly, "The general's attitude towards women is different from that of any man in the world. The reason is that does the general come from a thousand years later?"

"view?"

"Yes, all men in the world regard us women as vassals, or covet their appearance, or greedy for their family. There are very few generals like this... The little woman has heard more than once that the general has been born and died for Zhang Susu, and even devastated her future for her, and is willing to be the Yellow Turban..." As she said that, Zhang Ning turned her head, looked at Chen Mo deeply, and asked in an inexplicable tone, "The little woman really doesn't understand why... why the general protects her like this?"

"This..." Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw Zhang Ning sighing quietly.

"So that's it... the general is really gentle to his woman," Zhang Ning took a breath, looked at Chen Mo and said seriously, "Since that's the case, the little woman advised the general, don't be too affectionate with Zhang Susu. That woman... is definitely not the best choice!"

Chen Mo frowned when he heard this.

"Oh, the general is really protecting her, but... the general should keep the words of the little woman in mind. In addition, stay away from that witch as soon as possible. If you love her too much, the general will regret it one day!" As he said that, Zhang Ning raised his right hand, gently took off the hat from his head, and then stretched out his left hand to remove the veil from his face.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyelids twitched, and his eyes were filled with surprise, because he found that the woman standing in front of him looked exactly the same as Zhang Susu except for the slight difference in the expressions revealed between her eyebrows.

"Su...Su Su? No! - Who are you?!" After suddenly reacting, Chen Mo subconsciously pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword wearing a sword around his waist, looked at the other party with horror, and said in a deep voice, "What kind of magic did you use?"

"The magic?" Zhang Ning's beautiful face showed a little smile and said with a chuckle, "The little woman does know some magic, but the little woman did nothing..."

"..." Chen Mo opened his mouth in surprise. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and said in surprise, "Can't it...is it's the girl's biological sister, or... it's..."

"The general guessed it well!" Zhang Ning chuckled and said lightly in an inexplicable tone, "It is Zhang Susu, the leader of the Yellow Turban in northern Hebei, who is known as the witch!"

"So...that's what happened..." Chen Mo murmured in disbelief, "So, it turns out that General Zhang Liang has two daughters?"

To Chen Mo's surprise, Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Zhang Liang?"

"Yes, Su Su is the daughter of General Zhang Liang. Since the girl is her sister whose blood is thicker than water, that's not..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ning chuckled and shook his head, and whispered, "The general misunderstood. The little woman is not Zhang Liang's biological daughter, and that is not Zhang Susu!"

"What? This..."

"It was about sixteen years ago," turned around and walked to the cliff. Zhang Ning turned his back to Chen Mo, looking at the gradually falling sunset, "It was not long before the party and corruption disaster had passed. The villain in the court ruled, causing the destruction of the court route and the people in the world to suffer. At that time, there was a peaceful way in Julu, who secretly planned to overthrow the violent man and establish a new dynasty. The general in charge must also know that it was Zhang Jiao..."

“…”

"At that time, Zhang Jiao had not yet called himself a great wise and good teacher, but someone called him a Taoist Taiping. This person secretly convinced some wealthy families to use the power of the aristocratic families to raise an army to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, there were only a few people who followed him and it was difficult to achieve success, and his father was also among them..."

"Father?"

"Have the little woman said that her father's surname is Zhang Huilu, and his courtesy name is Gongqi. He is now the prefect of Hanning..."

"Zhang...Zhang Lu?" Chen Mo widened his eyes in shock, and then realized his loss of composure and looked at Zhang Ning apologetically.

Chen Mo was unintentional, so Zhang Ning naturally didn't care. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "After the failure of the uprising, my father and Zhang Jiao also thought about the reasons. Finally, he concluded that it was unrealistic to use the power of aristocratic families to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the people's hearts have not yet been accepted and the foundation is not stable. Why did he raise an army? Just think about it, my father and Zhang Jiao bid farewell to Zhang Jiao, and several other leaders at that time, went to the east and west, made an appointment to win the hearts of the people, and waited for a comeback. But when my father and Zhang Jiao passed by Muye, they encountered a strange thing there..."

"A strange thing?"

"Ah, at that time, there was a local household in Makino. The man's wife dreamed of a fox while sleeping at night, so she became pregnant. She gave birth to two sons a year later, all of which were daughters..."

"Can't it..." Chen Mo's eyes showed a little surprise.

Zhang Ning glanced back at Chen Mo, without answering, but said, "When this matter spread, the villagers were very scared and regarded it as a monster and wanted to set him to death. The man fought to the death, but unfortunately he was outnumbered. He watched his wife locked in a thatched house and set fire to the fire. At that time, his father and Zhang Jiao happened to pass by the village. Seeing this, they broke into the door immediately. The woman had been burned to death, but the two babies in her arms were not seriously injured. After thinking about it, his father discussed with Zhang Jiao, and they adopted a daughter each... I think that Zhang Jiao later handed the girl over to his younger brother Zhang Liang to raise!"

"Sure enough..." Chen Mo murmured. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and asked in confusion, "Since it was born from one's own family, why did the girl know the truth, but Su Su still thought she was the daughter of General Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Ning smiled slightly when he heard this, and Chen Mo suddenly realized that, too, the person in front of him knows how to read his mind, so what can he hide from her!

Perhaps it was because he read what Chen Mo thought, Zhang Ning shook his head and chuckled and said, "It's not the case. The little woman respects her father very much and never dares to make any mistakes. This was mentioned by my father when he was greedy for the cup. Later, because the little woman asked her, my father told the little woman about this..."

"Oh," Chen Mo realized it. After thinking about it, he suddenly said with some interest, "Since that's the case, it's fine for Miss Zhang to go to the camp with Chen. At this moment, Su Su is in the camp..."

Out of Chen Mo's expectations, Zhang Ning shook his head and sighed, "General's kindness, the little woman is grateful... God is destined that the little woman cannot see her again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

“Why?”

"This little girl can't say it for the time being... Well, it's not that she can't say it, it's just that it's not good for the general," Zhang Ning shook her head, after frowned slightly, a strange look appeared in her eyes, and murmured, "Even if there is no restraint, the little girl doesn't want to see her..."

"Why is this?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.

Zhang Ning sighed quietly and murmured, "It's because there is still some text in this story..."

"After?"

"Yes..." Looking at the sunset in the sky, Zhang Ning sighed a long sigh. After a long silence, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "It's getting late. The little woman dares not delay the general's important matters, so she bid farewell to him! - In addition, the little woman just now asked the general to keep the secret of the matters he said to the general and don't disclose them to others, especially Zhang Susu!"

"Why is this? Doesn't the girl want to recognize Su Su?"

Under Chen Mo's surprised gaze, Zhang Ning shook his head slightly and said lightly, "I don't want to!" After that, she might have read Chen Mo's hesitation and whispered, "The little woman told the general this secret out of trust, and hoped that the general should not let the little girl down..."

"This...well, I promise you!" Chen Mo nodded.

When Zhang Ning heard Zhan Yan smiled, he had to say that although Zhang Susu was like a person, there was a big difference between them. Zhang Susu's smile was a temptation called uncontrollable, while Zhang Ning's smile made people feel devoid of blasphemy.

"In this way, the little woman will leave for the time being. If she is destined to be the next day, the little woman would like to hear about the world where the general lived in the past..." As he said that, Zhang Ning bowed slightly and bowed slightly, then turned around and left.

Looking at Zhang Ning's back as he left, Chen Mo couldn't help frowning because he felt that Zhang Ning's words contained many mysteries.

"Is there any more to this matter?"

What exactly is it?

Chen Mo couldn't figure it out, especially the hostility towards Zhang Susu that was faintly revealed in Zhang Ning's speech made him feel even more incredible.

It is clearly a sister who has been separated from her since she was adopted by Zhang Lu and Zhang Jiao shortly after she was born. Why is Zhang Ning so hostile to Zhang Susu?

If it were someone else, Chen Mo would undoubtedly subconsciously protect Zhang Susu, but when it comes to the family affairs of the other sisters, Chen Mo felt that he was really not easy to intervene rashly. Besides, he did not think that Zhang Ning was a malicious woman. After all, the sadness that made people feel pity from the bottom of his heart really made Chen Mo a little difficult to let go.

after all……

what else?

With many questions in his heart, Chen Mo walked down the hill silently, turned over his beloved horse, Heifeng, and headed towards the camp. Somehow, after chatting with Zhang Ning for a while, he had a vague premonition.

－ At the same time, a hill twenty miles away－

Chen Deng, a hero of the night attack a few days ago, climbed the hill alone and looked faintly at sitting on the edge of the cliff. On the edge of the cliff, a Confucian scholar held a wine gourd in his hand and a book in his hand, and was reading and drinking in front of the sunset.

"This gentleman is so elegant!" With a faint smile, Chen Deng walked up slowly, took out a piece of paper from his arms and shook it, and said with a sneer, "As the chief think tank under Cao Mengde, Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, are you too bold? If you bring a soldier to take you, wouldn't it be that Cao Mengde broke his arm?"

"Haha, can you do it?" Guo Jia chuckled and closed the volume. Seeing the four small seal scripts of "The Strategy of Hundred Battles" on the cover of the book, Chen Deng couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows and said with a sneer and a sarcastic sarcasm, "No wonder he is so bold. It turns out that he is relying on his hand to scroll the second volume of heavenly books?"

"No, no, no," Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, put the heavenly book in his hand in his arms, shook his head and said, "The miracle strategy of hundreds of battles only talks about internal and external affairs of the war, and does not involve anything else. It is worthy of praise. In Jia's opinion, there are only a few articles such as the Secret Record of Duke of Lu..."

"Hmph, come and scare me. The three volumes and six volumes of the Heavenly Book of Heaven, Earth and Man all record their incredible magic, especially the "Hundred Battles Strategy" in the second volume of the Earth Volume, which includes wars, weapons, and equipment... Those who obtain this book can balance the situation in the world!"

"Oh, so that's it!" Guo Jia smiled slightly.

Looking at Guo Jia's smile, Chen Deng suddenly felt like he was being tricked and said angrily, "Guo Fengxiao, you asked Chen out today. You just wanted to chat with Chen, right?"

"Of course not!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but Chen Deng suddenly raised his right hand and sneered, "If it's a recruitment statement, please stop talking! - I, Chen Deng, will it be me, Guo Fengxiao? Do you only play such tricks?"

"Hahaha," Guo Jia was not angry when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "Yuan Long misunderstood. Jia came here just to send a letter!" As he said that, he took out a letter from his arms, drank a sip of wine, raised his left hand and handed it to Chen Deng.

"Um?" Chen Deng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Guo Jia in confusion, and then hesitated to take the letter, tear open the cover, and pull out the letter. However, after a few glances, his eyebrows frowned tightly.

"How?" Guo Jia smiled faintly, looked at the sunset in the sky and said slowly, "The current trend of the world is in my lord, Cao, who is like Yuanlong, who is full of knowledge and has a broad vision. I think he will not go against the will of heaven, right?"

I saw Chen Dengguan silent after his letter, then sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "It's not that I fear you, but that's the teacher's order cannot be violated! - Since the teacher asked me to join Cao, I, Chen Deng, had to obey... But, I, Chen Deng, are not a person like Hao Meng, and I don't know that I was used by you. Even after my death, I ended up being greedy for me and prosper and dig out Si Shui..."

"Oh? What does Yuanlong want?"

"The teacher's opinion is that Chen Deng dared not disobey, but it is not a real man to surrender to the enemy at the last moment. Besides, the teacher also said in the letter that Chen Deng decided to take over all matters during this battle, so..."

"so……"

"If you can defeat Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, I, Chen Deng, will give in to Peng Cheng. Otherwise, even if the teacher comes in person, Chen Deng may have no choice but to resist the orders of his master!"
