"What choice? You tell me!"
Zhang Tao spoke calmly.
Whatever Chen Kun says is his business, but whether he will listen is Zhang Tao's business.
I can listen to your opinion, but the decision is mine.
Chen Kun cleared his throat and then said word by word: "First, we should send soldiers directly to seize the Liao family's rice and not give them the opportunity to transport it out of the city!"
"Once the rice leaves the city, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog. It will never come back. Our Barbarian City is already short of food. We cannot let this rice fall into Chen Xuan's hands!"
"And this Liu Jinyu, he is Chen Xuan's right-hand man, he must be killed!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tao shook his head.
He could see that Chen Kun and Liu Jinyu might have some personal grudge.
According to Chen Kun’s first method, it would be equivalent to directly breaking off relations with Chen Xuan. Zhang Tao now is not willing to do that at all.
"Just say the second one." Zhang Tao said calmly.
Chen Kun secretly felt a little regretful that he couldn't kill Liu Jinyu this time. He didn't know when the next time would be and whether he would have this opportunity again.
However, the prefect is unwilling to take action, and Chen Kun will definitely not be the first to take action.
After a moment's silence, Chen Kun continued, "The second option is to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. Let the Liao family and Chen Xuan resolve the grievances between them themselves."
"Based on my understanding of Liao Qing, he would never be willing to suffer such a huge loss."
"Sir Governor, you and I both know what kind of person Liao Qing's wife, who cannot be mentioned, is!"
He stopped talking here, but a fox-like smile appeared on Chen Kun's face.
"Haha, it seems that Patriarch Chen and I are of the same mind."
Zhang Tao laughed immediately.
On the side, Qin Baiye interrupted and said, "But does Liao Qing, that coward, dare to go to his wife who cannot speak? If he dares to go to Tianshan Sect, the people of Tianshan Sect will scatter his ashes!"
Zhang Tao's eyes flashed, and he sneered, "He doesn't need to go to Tianshan Sect in person. In a few days, the annual disciple selection of Tianshan Sect will begin. We have three places in Mancheng. At that time, people from Tianshan Sect will come to Mancheng."
"We just need to let the people from Tianshan Sect tell Bai Susu that Liao Jun has been kidnapped."
"How could Bai Su Su watch her own son being wronged like this? Even if I can't go down the mountain myself, it should be no problem to send a few experts to deal with Chen Xuan."
"No matter how powerful Chen Xuan is, I can't match him. He is even more powerful than the masters of Tianshan Sect!"
Every sect selects some extremely talented people from all over the country to be disciples every year. After being selected, these people will not directly become outer disciples, but will serve as servants of the sect.
To put it bluntly, they are just odd jobs, the kind that serve tea, water and wash clothes for the outer and inner disciples.
Afterwards, the sect will select some people with extraordinary talents from among the menial servants to become outer disciples. After hard training, they will have the opportunity to become inner disciples.
Large sects are very strict in selecting disciples.
Usually a city would only recruit a few people.
The Tianshan Sect’s base is the twenty-four border cities, and every year they send people out to pick a few talents in each city.
So, this is an opportunity!
"So, Lord Governor, are we just going to let them transport the rice out like this?"
Chen Kun frowned, seeing Chen Xuan living so comfortably made him very uncomfortable.
"If you want to stop it, you can personally bring people to stop it."
Zhang Tao spoke with a smile.
Chen Kun immediately shook his head.
You brought Ling Mo with you and mobilized a total of 4,000 elite soldiers, but in the end you were unable to do anything to Chen Xuan.
How many people are there in my Chen family?
Although my Chen family also has martial arts masters.
But, he could even severely injure Ling Mo with one kick.
The martial artist of the Chen family is already old, and his old bones can't stand the torture.
"Humph, then let Chen Xuan live happily for a few more days!"
Chen Kun snorted coldly.
Zhang Tao glanced at him and suddenly reminded him lightly: "Don't put all your hopes on the Tianshan Sect. Your son should go find the bandits and let them deal with Chen Xuan. If the Tianshan Sect does not intend to deal with Chen Xuan, then using the bandits will come in handy!"
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
It’s better to have two plans than just one!
"Don't worry, Governor. My Chen family has already sent a lot of people to look for the bandits. As long as there is any news, I will inform you immediately!"
Chen Kun nodded.
It is impossible to ask them to suppress the bandits; they have to preserve their own military strength.
But taking advantage of others is totally feasible!
Soon, ten thousand shi of grain were gathered.
However, as there were too many of them and the Liao family had limited horse-drawn carriages, Liu Jinyu dragged both donkey carts and ox carts.
But it is still not enough, and we need to make several more trips back and forth.
"Never mind, let's get these out of the city first."
Liu Jinyu waved his hand and gave the order directly.
Soon, horse-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carts, and ox-drawn carts carrying rice arrived at the city gate.
"Open the city gate for me!"
Liu Jinyu shouted loudly.
"Captain, that guy is here again!"
The soldiers guarding the city spoke quickly.
A captain frowned, looked at Liu Jinyu, and said, "Does the governor have an order to leave the city?"
Liu Jinyu didn't even think twice and yelled, "You grandma, open the door for me now, or I'll kill you!"
The captain's face suddenly turned gloomy.
After all, he was a captain of a thousand men, in charge of a thousand soldiers. Apart from the governor and the commander, who would dare to scold him like that?
As a result, Liu Jinyu not only scolded him, but also did so in public, which made him very embarrassed.
"You're not opening the door yet? Let me tell you, Master Chen is waiting outside the city. If he gets impatient, believe it or not, he'll just come in and kill you."
"Anyway, Master Chen has already killed a centurion. He is probably still on the road to the underworld. If you are faster, you might be able to find him as a companion on the road to the underworld."
Liu Jinyu continued to speak.
This time, Chen Xuan was brought out.
Sure enough, when he heard the name Chen Xuan, the captain's face changed.
As the saying goes, a man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Chen Xuan has a record of killing a thousand-man captain alone, and it’s still fresh and hot, as it just happened yesterday.
Even their leader suffered a great loss.
This kind of person should never be provoked.
"Friend, you are not allowed to leave the city without the governor's order. Can you allow me to send someone to inform him?"
The centurion clasped his fists and said with gritted teeth.
The attitude has softened.
"Open the city gate first and let my people leave the city. I have to transport the rice back and forth several times and I don't have time to waste with you."
Liu Jinyu spoke impatiently.
