Chapter 80 The King of Assassination

"Huh?" Su Chengnan was surprised.

There was a sense of determination in Goudan's father's expression, as if he had acted after careful consideration.

"Goudan, you go back first."

"Dad, can't I listen?"

His father said nothing and looked at him very seriously.

Goudan pursed his lips and paused for two seconds, "Okay, then come back later and ask me to come over and push you."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Um."

Goudan walked away looking back every few steps, which made Su Chengnan's heart beat fast.

"What do you want to say, brother?"

"Miss, you are too polite. Please call me Chen Gang."

Su Chengnan narrowed his eyes, Chen Gang? She clearly remembered that Village Chief Yu and Mr. Sun mentioned that Goudan's father's surname was Wu.

she

My heart slowly sank, anticipating that what he was going to say next would not be simple.

Chen Gang sat in a wheelchair, clasped his hands together, bowed to Su Chengnan, and asked apologetically: "Miss, is she from the Marquis of Xiaoyong Mansion?"

Su Chengnan was shocked and his hair stood on end.

She said nothing and looked at him with forced calmness. So what if she knew? She didn't have to admit it.

"I came from the army and was fortunate enough to serve under the Marquis. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened in my early years, so I left. Marquis, is he okay?"

good. He has been studying documentaries about military machinery in the space all day long recently. He is almost obsessed with it and has even neglected the fields.

However, the fact that Chen Gang asked this showed that he didn't know that the Marquis's Mansion had been raided and Su Weimin was dead.

She nodded slightly and asked him directly, "What do you want to tell me when you come to see me?"

"There are tigers in this mountain. Although I risked my life to kill two of them before, I still heard people in the village say tigers hurt people from time to time a few years ago. But there has been no news in the past two years."

"I guess someone took action to clean it up."

Su Chengnan had thought about this before, so she didn't think it was strange. "What's so special about it?"

"The Yinmeng Mountains are endless, with many places to enter the mountains, and many places are difficult to attack and easy to defend. If..."

"If there are private soldiers in this mountain, they will have to run away with such a big fire! We are already on the official road, and Mincheng is just ahead. To the left of Mincheng, we can go to the western border, and to the right, we can go as far as Ningguta in the north."

"Assuming there really are private soldiers, where would they go after they go down the mountain? Miss, please consider this matter carefully."

Su Chengnan's heartbeat quickened. "Assuming your guess is true, they will either have to force their way out of the fire and seize Luocheng. Or... they can only go to Mincheng! And we..."

"It's difficult." Her eyes flashed, and she carefully recalled the simple map Su Weimin had drawn for her. At this position, they could either advance or retreat, but there was a fire behind them, and they had no way to return to Los Angeles.

“We have to move on.”

"Keep going."

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Su Chengnan looked at the man in front of him carefully. He had a resolute expression and clear, firm eyes, which was completely different from his previous decadent state lying in bed.

"Who did you work for before? What position did you hold? I can see that you have great ambitions, not like an ordinary soldier."

Chen Gang's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a long time before he said one sentence: "The Marquis used to have left and right vanguard armies. I used to be a subordinate of General Chen, the left vanguard, and was a captain of a thousand men."

Su Chengnan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this person held such a high position. Those who could be promoted to a centurion in the army were all capable. Especially those under Su Weimin, at least their fighting power is strong.

Besides, he didn't look like a foolhardy guy. No wonder Goudan is such a gifted kid, it seems there is a genetic reason behind it.

But why would a captain of a thousand men hide his identity in such a remote village?

Su Chengnan was in need of someone, so she didn't care about these things. After all, there was Goudan's future at stake. She believed that Chen Gang would not harm anyone. "I will send someone to Mincheng to find out the situation."

"Thank you, Miss."

"You're welcome, thanks for reminding me."

"I should thank you. If it weren't for this wheelchair, I would have died in the fire. I have been lying in bed in darkness for all these years. But I am greedy. I watched this child grow up day by day. I couldn't bear to die. It's my incompetence."

"Mi Feng said that your waist may recover, but the conditions are difficult right now. When the time is right in the future, you will still have a chance to stand up."

Chen Gang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and choked up, "I can leave that bed and go out to see the world. This is great news! I'm not greedy. Just give me some time. Even if I sit in a wheelchair, I can still hunt and support my wife and children."

"Thank you, Miss Su! You have given me new hope."

"You've already paid me back."

"No, this is what I should do! With so many fellow villagers here, human lives are at stake. From now on, my life will belong to you, thank you."

"Okay, just live well. That's all."

"Um."

Su Chengnan walked behind him, held the back handle of the wheelchair, and pushed him back.

After walking a few steps, she realized that the workmanship of the wheelchair was really good. The handles were polished to be smooth and fine, without any burrs.

Being able to achieve this level of accomplishment purely by hand in such a short time, even in modern times, this would be considered a very impressive feat!

She scanned the crowd, her eyes finally landing on the limping teenagers on the left.

Talents need to be put to use.

…

"Kaichi, Aoyama."

"Here!" Two people came over.

Su Chengnan told Chen Gang what he had just said.

Qingshan's face suddenly became serious: "Miss, Mincheng is a very complicated place. The previous city lord had a good personal relationship with the prince. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the prince's uncle has impeached the old city lord many times, forcing him to resign and retire. Now the city lord of Mincheng is the queen mother's man."

"How far is this place from Mincheng?"

"If we go by ourselves, we can get there in five days. If we take these people with us, it will probably take half a month."

"There are many hidden talents in Tieniu Village. As long as they don't say they're leaving, we'll leave together. Let's send someone to Mincheng to investigate first. If there really is a private army, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

"Yes!" The two men obeyed.

Qingshan spoke first: "The palace has left some people in Mincheng. I will go there quickly and come back quickly. It will be a good opportunity to transfer a few more people over."

Su Chengnan had no objection, so the matter was settled.

After he left, Jia Yi whispered, "Miss, I remember the name Chen Gang. He... is a ruthless man."

"oh?"

Su Chengnan looked up in surprise. How powerful must someone be who can be called a ruthless person by Jia Yi?

"When I first joined the army, I heard of Chen Gang's name! It is said that he is the most powerful assassin in the army. He once broke into the White Bear Country's commander's tent and killed him without anyone noticing. He became famous in one battle."

"really?!"

"All the brothers know about this."

His eyes unconsciously drifted towards the wheelchair. There was admiration and fanaticism in his eyes, but more of it was regret and pity. How did such a heroic person end up like this?

Su Chengnan withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

Her cheap father must know the truth clearly, right?
