The Era of Generals

Chapter 740 - The Last Temptation

"General Yao!"

Chen Ze cupped his hands at Yao Zuofeng, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that I have been serving as a general in Nantes province, and I have never heard of General Yao's name."

In fact, why didn't he know this Yao Zuofeng, General Yao?

He had seen the name of this General Yao more than once in the military documents of Dongping City before, and he thought that this person's status in Fengqi Province was not low.

At least it is also a practical faction.

But how could Chen Ze say he knew?

He had only seen Yao Zuofeng's name in the documents, and he didn't know much about this person's life history. If he said some nonsense, it would inevitably reveal flaws, it would be better to deny it directly.

However, after hearing Chen Ze's words, General Yao actually asked again: "Did General Ouyang mention me once?"

There seemed to be suspicion in his eyes.

Chen Ze frowned slightly, but he simply shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the situation in Juhe City was not good at that time. What I will discuss with General Ouyang is how to defeat the enemy. As for General Yao..."

As soon as this remark came out, General Yao laughed as if laughing at himself, and said: "I am just a nobody, how could General Ouyang mention me for no reason?"

Only then did he jump off the horse, strode up to Chen Ze, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Chen to forgive me, but the situation is really forcing, so Yao can't help but try again and again!"

Chen Ze smiled, and bowed back to Yao Zuofeng, saying: "General Yao doesn't have to do this, if I change to General Yao's position, I will do the same."

How could he not guess what Yao Zuofeng was thinking just now?

Guo Zi told Yao Zuofeng that he, Chen Ze, was a general in Juhe City of Nantes Province, so that means that the other party didn't know much about the specific situation of Fengqi Province.

But why did Ouyang Lixing send someone who didn't understand the situation to Fengqi Province?

This matter is also the last doubt in Yao Zuofeng's mind, if he doesn't figure it out, he really can't rest assured.

So there was this trial.

Just now he reported his family name and asked Chen Ze if he had heard of it.

And just like he didn't know that there was a general named Chen Wuwei in Nantes Province, the other party could use this reason to tell him that he didn't know you.

So Chen Ze's response did not exceed Yao Zuofeng's expectations, but this was also a hole that Yao Zuofeng was digging for Chen Ze.

So his next question was to ask Chen Ze, did General Ouyang not mention him?

When he said these words, his expression also showed a suspicion of extreme distrust towards Chen Ze, which further showed his distrust towards Chen Ze.

It seems that his relationship with General Ouyang should be excellent, or that he is a very important general around General Ouyang, if Chen Ze gets his token and comes to Fengqi Province, he will definitely let Chen Ze come to seek him assistance as well.

How could Chen Ze be fooled by him?

Yao Zuofeng said that Potianqu was also a governor, and since he was able to meet him within the range of Dongning City at this moment, rather than near the main city of Fengqi, which is closer to the front line at the moment, it is very telling.

This person may have the ability, but it is definitely not up to the level of being able to enter Ouyang Lixing's eyes.

Otherwise, the place where he should appear at this moment should be at the forefront, not at the rear where Fengqi Province has no choice but to ignore it first.

With this major premise in place, Chen Ze naturally knew how to answer, and at the same time, it was not difficult to guess Yao Zuofeng's thoughts.

The other party is testing himself!

If because of his determined expression, Chen Ze suddenly changed his words here, saying that he had heard about him from Ouyang Lixing, then he would have really been exposed, making Yao Zuofeng believe that Chen Ze appeared here with bad intentions!

So he simply refused to let go, and bluntly said that Ouyang Lixing had never mentioned this person.

In this way, even if Yao Zuofeng is really Ouyang Lixing's confidant, so what?

Chen Ze said that Ouyang Lixing didn't mention it or he didn't mention it. If you don't believe it, you can go to Nantes province to find Ouyang Lixing to verify it!

But can he, Yao Zuofeng, seek proof?

It was so easy to see Ouyang Lixing, so why didn't he come back?

This is a matter that is not clear at all, regardless of whether Yao Zuofeng is Ouyang Lixing's confidant or not, in a word, Chen Ze has never heard of it.

That's it.

So no matter whether Yao Zuofeng really has such doubts or is deliberately defrauding Chen Ze, as long as he does not let go, the worst case is that Yao Zuofeng has doubts about him.

But if the other party was really probing, Chen Ze's answer was not wrong at all.

In fact it is.

Yao Zuofeng was really thinking about making the last test.

After getting Chen Ze's affirmative answer, he relaxed and even took the initiative to salute Chen Ze.

It can be seen that Ouyang Lixing's token is not useless to this person, but with the current bad situation in Fengqi Province, he thinks more and just wants to be safe.

For Yao Zuofeng at this moment, all his temptations to Chen Ze had passed, so he was relieved and regarded Chen Ze as the special envoy sent by Ouyang Lixing to Fengqi Province.

"I wonder what general Ouyang's plan is to deal with the current situation?"

After the two saluted each other, Yao Zuofeng couldn't wait to ask.

"General Yao!"

Chen Ze also said seriously: "When I came to Fengqi Province, I was indeed ordered by General Ouyang, but... please forgive me, it is not very convenient for me to tell the truth about this plan!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yao Zuofeng was slightly taken aback, shook his head involuntarily, and said, "This general is being abrupt."

"That's not true."

Chen Ze also shook his head, with an apologetic expression on his face, "It's true that General Ouyang repeatedly told me that this plan must not be told to others, otherwise it won't work."

"My qualifications are dull, not as good as General Ouyang's, so the best thing to do right now is to follow General Ouyang's orders completely, and never dare to change all plans without authorization."

"In that case, I ask General Yao to forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Yao Zuofeng waved his hands again and again and said, "It should be so, it should be so!"

"General Ouyang's deployment is a clever plan. If the general's momentary confusion ruins the big event, then the general will die!"

At this moment, Yao Zuofeng had no doubts about Chen Ze's identity.

In fact, Chen Ze's behavior at the moment is in his eyes. Although this person has always said sorry, but when Yao Zuofeng was following Ouyang Lixing, General Ouyang didn't want to tell his subordinates in advance whenever he had a plan.

What General Ouyang will do is to assign the tasks that each general should do. Each person is responsible for different tasks, and they are never allowed to inquire about the details of each other's tasks.

How similar is it to Chen Ze's words at this time?
