Chapter 668 Mr. Zhang
In the next few days, all kinds of rumors spread throughout Black Rock City and even spread to the surrounding cities.
By the time Yan Sheng got wind of the news and completely blocked Black Stone City, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, it was already too late.
"Have you heard? We lost the previous battle miserably. Thousands of people died. We couldn't even defeat General Jie Liancheng. General Long Zhantian also died!"
"Did you hear that General Jie Liancheng died in the previous battle? His Majesty was so scared that he immediately fled back. We lost miserably!"
"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear that? We lost the previous battle so badly that His Majesty was scared to death!"
"Hey, did you hear that His Majesty was so scared that he peed while running! He peed all the way!!"
“…”
Now Kong Daqian has followed a team and moved from Black Stone City to another city in the rear, Xishan City.
During this period, the rumor spread faster than them and had already spread throughout Xishan City before them.
And it changes every time. The more it is spread, the more exaggerated and outrageous it becomes. As time goes by, all kinds of weird and strange things are said about it.
Kong Daqian, who first spread the rumor, was stunned.
"Outrageous, really outrageous!"
But it's a good thing for him.
It doesn't matter whether the rumor is true or not, as long as the effect is achieved.
Of course, his work doesn't end there.
It is not enough to spread rumors and cause internal panic. What they need is unrest, even riots!
With this mentality, in the next few days, Kong Daqian used the activity funds obtained in advance from Jie Liancheng and launched activities in Xishan City.
His figure frequently appeared in teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys throughout the city. In short, wherever there were people discussing this matter, he would go there, pretending to join in the fun the whole time.
After chatting for a few sentences and getting the conversation going, he gradually revealed his eloquent side.
Most people in this world are two-star characters, how can they be a match for Kong Daqian? After these remarks, Kong Daqian soon stunned them, and even many people were fooled.
In fact, to a certain extent, Kong Daqian’s words cannot be said to be nonsense. What he said was basically the truth, and at most there was a little exaggeration. But it is precisely because of this that people can be convinced.
As for those rumors that are becoming more and more outrageous, they are purely false reports.
On this day, Kong Daqian appeared in the streets as usual. When he saw a crowd of people, he immediately ran over.
Real war activities often unfold in such a simple way.
After a period of time, Kong Daqian felt that he had gained a lot.
After finishing another day's activities, Kong Daqian turned around and went into an alley, preparing to go back and rest after wandering around.
Unexpectedly, before walking out of the small alley, the way ahead was blocked by two men in linen clothes.
Faced with this situation, Kong Daqian was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, then prepared to turn around and run away.
He never thought that when he turned around, he suddenly found that his retreat route had been blocked.
[What's going on? Am I exposed? Judging from their clothes, they look like ordinary people, not soldiers. Where do these people come from? They can't be robbers, right?]
The thought flashed through his mind, and on the surface, Kong Daqian pretended to be frightened.
"A few warriors want to..."
However, before he could finish his words, the man who was walking towards him actually clasped his fist towards him.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang?"
[Mr. Zhang?]
He called himself an old man under the alias Zhang, and said his surname was Zhang, but he did not reveal his specific name. Naturally, no one would ask about it when they were just chatting on the street.
[Wait a minute, that person seemed to be in the group chatting just now...]
Kong Daqian had been observing the people surrounding him, and he soon found a familiar face among them.
Even after taking a closer look, he felt that the other people also looked familiar, perhaps he had seen them somewhere a few days ago.
As his thoughts raced, although he wasn't sure what the other party wanted to do by stopping him, Kong Daqian calmed down a little.
"It is this old man. I wonder what you are looking for me for?"
"Our lord would like to have a chat with you, sir. Please move aside."
The leader said this while making a 'please' gesture.
Of course, they said 'please', but in fact they had no intention of letting Kong Daqian go at all, so he had to accept it whether he was happy or not.
Kong Daqian undoubtedly saw this and simply gave up resistance.
"Then please."
As soon as he got out of the alley, he was invited to get on a donkey cart and was even blindfolded.
This action made Kong Daqian feel nervous, and inevitably more thoughts arose in his mind.
After that, he sat in the car with his eyes blindfolded. He had nothing to do anyway, so he made a lot of guesses in his mind, and even had some speculations about the origins of this group of people.
"arrive."
The blindfold could not be removed when he got off the car. Listening to the instructions of the accompanying personnel, Kong Daqian only remembered that he stepped over a threshold and was then taken around before the blindfold was taken off.
Then, he saw a middle-aged man in a cloth robe standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
After his eyes met with mine, he clasped his hands together and introduced himself...
"I am Liu De, the descendant of King Jing of Xishan, Jingguo. Nice to meet you, sir. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but seeing you today, I can see that you are truly extraordinary!"
Hearing this, Kong Daqian secretly curled his lips.
[I am an old man who works in the fields every day, exposed to the wind and sun, what can be extraordinary about me? ]
Judging from his appearance, Kong Daqian was indeed an old farmer with a tan and rough skin. After hearing the compliment, he felt that the man in front of him was not honest, was full of nonsense, and was not a good person.
However, he pretended to be surprised and also made the fist-raising gesture.
"So you are the descendant of Prince Jing of Xishan. I have heard of you for a long time!"
Kong Daqian did not know Liu De, but he knew the title of King Jing of Xishan. Jing State was one of the countries that were annexed by Yan Sheng. Jing State was located at the foot of Xishan Mountain, so the king was also called King Jing of Xishan. This Xishan City was exactly the territory of Jing State.
"I wonder what the prince of Jing wants to do with an old man like me?"
Kong Daqian imitated Liu De and started chatting with him in a proper tone, and he did a pretty good job of it.
Seeing this, Liu De suddenly bowed and saluted Kong Daqian.
"I have recently heard of your great ideas and I deeply admire your talents. I would like to invite you to come out and work together for a great cause!"
