Who Is The Protagonist’s Best Friend? I Want To Be A Villain

Cao Xu has already joined Chen Yi, the commander of the Black Tortoise Battalion.

"Your Highness, King Wei, I have something to ask of you."

Chen Yi, who was full of sorrow, finally burst into color when he saw Cao Xu.

"What's the matter?"

Cao Xu asked.

Speaking of which, he was able to control the military power thanks to the words of Chen Yi from the court.

However, Chen Yi should also have received the signal from Emperor Qian. Otherwise, if Cao Xu had no friendship with him, why would he help him?

Cao Xu doesn't believe that there is unreasonable kindness in this world.

However, in name, Cao Xu does owe a favor.

If Chen Yi's request does not harm Cao Xu's interests, Cao Xu would not mind returning the favor.

"My son Chen Lan fell into the hands of Zhou Shilin. His Royal Highness the King of Wei has many strong men. Can you help me rescue him?"

Chen Lan was sent there by Emperor Qian. He had 50,000 Youzhou cavalry in his hands. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shilin ordered all 50,000 cavalry to desert him.

Then he was caught by Zhou Shilin and became a prisoner.

"Old General Chen, I can't do this."

Cao Xu directly refused after hearing this.

People are so easy to save. According to the intelligence obtained, Zhou Shilin came with an army of 200,000.

Even if Dian Wei faced 200,000 cavalry, his life would be in danger if he was surrounded.

Just kidding, would he let his loyal subordinates take risks for the sake of the other party's son?

He looked at the old man Chen Yi, wondering if he did it on purpose.

Emperor Qian wanted him to die in the rebellion. Cao Xu suspected that Chen Yi wanted to cooperate with Emperor Qian and deliberately transferred Dian Wei or Xu Chu from his side.

Cao Xu has always speculated on people's hearts with the worst possible malice.

"You think too highly of my king's bodyguards. If you want to rescue your son among two hundred thousand cavalry, I think the old general's father can do it.

Chen Yi is over seventy years old, but his father is not dead yet.

His father, Chen Kuangke, was a legendary figure. He was known as the mighty general with great military exploits and was the pinnacle of Daqian.

Chen Yi, who gave birth to a son at the age of sixty, is now over one hundred and thirty years old.

How strong it is is unknown.

Qianhuang Xia Yan was promoted by Prime Minister Wang Bo, so he was controlled by Wang Bo. He was able to get rid of Wang Bo's control. In fact, he had to thank the old general for his help.

However, Chen Kuang has now withdrawn from the court and is no longer interested in worldly affairs.

However, no one can completely ignore him.

Seeing Cao Xu decline, Chen Yi's expression changed but he didn't say anything.

Cao Xu rejected him. He couldn't force Cao Xu to save his son. I don't think Cao Xu had the qualifications.

"General, that 120 Cao Xu is nothing. You helped him become General Pingbei, and now you ask him for help, but he actually refuses you, which is ungrateful."

After returning to the main tent of the Black Tortoise camp, Chen Yi's cronies said angrily.

"Be careful, if this word gets out, I won't be able to protect you."

Chen Yi frowned and reminded.

"Okay, you go out."

After sending his subordinates out, Chen Yi, who was sitting in the main tent, shook his head.

It seems that the task entrusted by His Majesty cannot be completed. Anyway, he actually does not want to harm his own people.

Emperor Qian secretly gave him a task. He wanted to use the hands of Youzhou cavalry to get rid of Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were around Cao Xu.

"Lan'er should be fine in Zhou Shilin's hands."

Killing Chen Lan would be tantamount to breaking up with the imperial court. Chen Yi felt that Zhou Shilin might not dare to do this.

Although the world-famous Youzhou Iron Cavalry is strong, if they really dare to rebel, they will only die.

What's more, the Youzhou cavalry are now leaderless. Zhou Shilin is not a forestry person, so he has no ability to subdue the 300,000 cavalry.

On the other hand, after Cao Xu returned to the camp, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Yi was tricking him by asking him to save Chen Lan.

On the surface, it was Chen Yi who suggested in the court that Cao Xu lead the army to help him defend the north, and Cao Xu got the opportunity to command the army.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yi was kind to him.

In front of many people, Cao Xu rejected Chen Yi's request and was probably labeled as ungrateful.

To refuse is to be ungrateful; to refuse is to put one's subordinates at risk.

Whether he refuses or agrees, it will not be good for Cao Xu.

"This old guy Chen Yi dares to plot against me."

Cao Xu took action directly.

Although he has no evidence, he never needs evidence to tell someone how to behave.

Suspicion is enough.

"Lord, I'm going to kill him."

Xu Chu's eyes flashed fiercely.

Although he didn't know how Chen Yi planned his lord, making his lord angry would be a death penalty.

"etc."

Cao Xu saw Xu Chu walking out with a knife and immediately stopped him.

Why is Xu Chu even more irritable than Dian Wei? He is usually silent, but he is quite cruel.

In fact, this is in line with Xu Chu's character. Xu You was arrogant and unreasonable to Cao Cao, so he was stabbed to death by Xu Chu's sword.

"I will give you a secret mission."

Cao Xu directly used the method of transmitting messages into secrets to give Xu Chu the task.

This will never reach other people's ears.

"Remember, it doesn't matter whether you complete the task or not, your own safety is the most important."

"Xu Chu knows."

That night, Xu Chu secretly left the camp without being discovered by anyone.

Xu left the camp and secretly headed directly to the Youzhou Cavalry camp.

Now the Youzhou Iron Cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from the Black Tortoise camp and Cao Xu's army.

For Xu Chu, who is at the pinnacle of the Great Grandmaster, it won't take long to reach this point.

With Xu Chu's strength, it was even easier to sneak into the Youzhou Iron Cavalry camp.

Then after spending some effort, he finally found Chen Run who was captured and became a prisoner.

Chen Lan was tied up with iron chains and his joints were removed. Most importantly, his acupoints and meridians were sealed, making him unable to use his True Qi.

"who?"

Although he could not display his strength, Chen Lan was keenly aware of Chen Lan sneaking in.

Forty-year-old Chen Lan is also a Great Grandmaster, and his perception is naturally sharp.

"The person who killed you."

Xu Chu said indifferently.

Then he cut off Chen Lan's head without any nonsense.

Chen Lan's eyes widened and he refused to close his eyes.

He originally thought someone was coming to save him and deliberately lowered his voice.

Who would have thought that someone would actually kill him as a prisoner.

After killing Chen Lan, Xu Chu left quickly. As for the person guarding Chen Lan, Xu Chu had already broken his neck.

When Zhou Shilin's personal guards noticed that Chen Lan was dead and informed Zhou Shilin, Xu Chu had already left the Youzhou Cavalry camp and returned to Cao Xu's camp.

In the camp, Cao Xu was relieved to see Xu Chu returning safely.

"My lord, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission and have completed the task you assigned me."

"Thank you Zhongkang."

Cao Xu already knew that Xu Chu had succeeded, because the system had previously prompted him to murder Chen Lan, a general from the same camp, and gained 50,000 villain points.

Cao Xu didn't let Xu Chu take the risk to kill Chen Lan just to retaliate against Chen Yi for plotting against him.

He was there to get the war started.

Is fighting good for Cao Xu? To be honest, it is not good for the army under his command.

His command now claims to have 100,000 troops, but in fact there are only 80,000. Among them, 20,000 new recruits have never even seen blood, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not that strong.

As for the 60,000 soldiers and horses drawn from the other three battalions, they were indeed elite soldiers and strong generals, but Cao Xu had not mastered them for a short time, and the running-in after they were broken up and reorganized was not enough.

If a war really breaks out, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

But elite soldiers and strong generals are produced through war.

And even if there were heavy casualties, Cao Xu didn't feel bad, especially the soldiers and horses drawn from the other three battalions.

Even after a major Blood Transformation through disbandment and reorganization, according to Gao Shun's report, most people are still loyal to Emperor Qian and Prime Minister Wang Bo.

It will probably take a long time to wash away the loyalty from them and turn them into soldiers loyal to Cao Xu.

Even if all the people who were not loyal to him died, Cao Xu would not feel sorry for them.

In addition, although fighting would not be good for Cao Xu, it would be good for Guan Yu.

If Cao Xu wanted Guan Yu to take control of Youzhou's military power, the first thing he had to do was to weaken Youzhou's troops.

These two hundred thousand Youzhou cavalry are the best if they come and never come back.

Therefore, his goal is to provoke a war, and the more intense the fight, the better.

"For the matter of poisoning Emperor Qian, maybe we can find a way (aeab) to put the hat on Zhou Shilin's head."

Cao Xu's eyes flashed.

If the Qianhuang side was poisoned just after the fight with the Youzhou Cavalry, it would be impossible not to suspect Zhou Shilin.

"Zhou Shilin bribed the eunuchs in the palace out of hatred because Emperor Qian imprisoned King Zhenbei in the capital, causing King Zhenbei to die. It is reasonable and reasonable."

Cao Mou, the first detective of Daqian, has given Zhou Shilin a motive to assassinate Emperor Qian.

At this time, Zhou Shilin, who didn't know that he was about to be plotted, looked extremely ugly.

"Who did it?"

Looking at the separated corpses, Zhou Shilin looked at his personal guards with a dark face.

The people responsible for guarding Chen Lan are his personal guards.

"Reporting to the general, we discovered something happened when we were patrolling. I'm afraid the culprit has already left."

The commander of the personal guards reported to Zhou Shilinhui.

"Now we're in big trouble."

He captured Chen Lan but did not kill him because Chen Lan's background was not easy to kill. His grandfather was Chen Kuang, the mighty general, and his father was the commander of the Black Tortoise Battalion.

Chen Lan can even be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Gan Lao.

Now Chen Lan is dead, among his army.

If he says he didn't kill him, will Emperor Qian believe it? Will Chen Lan's father, Chen Yi, believe it?

"Someone deliberately wants to provoke a conflict between the Youzhou cavalry and the imperial court."

Zhou Shilin was not stupid and guessed it quickly.

Lin Ye asked him to command the Youzhou Cavalry not only because of his loyalty and strength, but also because of his ability.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Shilin had a sullen face and had too many targets of suspicion.

Because if the Youzhou cavalry really rebelled, it would be beneficial to many people, including those ambitious vassal kings and Prime Minister Wang Bo.

Even some people in the Youzhou Cavalry Army, Zhou Shilin, were suspicious.

"Why not be more defensive?"

Zhou Shilin angrily reprimanded the commander of the guards.

"Please forgive me, General."

Looking at his personal guard commander, Zhou Shilin knew that he could not be blamed. Who would have thought that someone would sneak into the army and kill Chen Lan.

Even he didn't expect anyone to be so bold.

"At this time, let's hide it for now."

Zhou Shilin planned to conceal the matter first and talk about it after receiving the prince's body.

The next day, the atmosphere in the army changed.

Because the 200,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry were dispatched again, the Black Tortoise Battalion was ready for battle.

Fortunately, the two hundred thousand Youzhou cavalry stopped fifty miles away.

"Your Highness, King Wei, the envoy from the Youzhou Army is here and wants us to return the body of King Zhenbei. What do you think, King Wei?"

Chen Yi found Cao Xu and asked.

Cao Xu glanced at Chen Yi, I'm not Yuan Fang, you ask me what I think.

"Son of General Chen

Isn’t the son in Zhou Shilin’s hands? Why not let Zhou Shilin exchange Old General Chen’s son for the body of King Zhenbei.

Cao Xu's words made Chen Yi's eyes flash with light. In fact, he thought so too.

Although he didn't think Zhou Shilin dared to hurt Chen Lan, if a fight really broke out, Chen Lan's safety could not be guaranteed.

It's better to take advantage of now and find a way to rescue Chen Lan.

"By the way, they brought back the body of King Zhenbei with such great fanfare. Doesn't Lin Ye have an adopted son? Why not let his adopted son come to bring back the body of King Zhenbei in person."

Cao Xu has not forgotten the new protagonist, Xie Yunfeng, the adopted son of King Zhenbei.

"Then just follow what His Highness the King of Wei said, and I'll have someone tell the envoy of the Youzhou Army."'

Chen Yi didn't care who brought back the body of King Zhenbei. The key was to get his son back.

When Chen Yi asked someone to tell the Youzhou Army envoy to go back and report to Zhou Shilin, Zhou Shilin's expression changed.

Put Chen Lan back. How can you put Chen Lan back when he is already dead?

Should we send Chen Lan's body back? If we do this, Chen Yi will immediately fall out.

It is estimated that there is no way to get the body of King Zhenbei back.

"Go tell Chen Yi that we need to receive the prince's body back before releasing Chen Lan. If the prince's body is not handed over to us, then I will kill Chen Lan."

After receiving the news, Chen Yi frowned.

The two then argued for several days, and finally when Zhou Shilin began to threaten the life of his son Chen Lan, Chen Yi compromised.

The body sent back to King Zhenbei was originally the Imperial Cup.

The person who came to pick up King Zhenbei's body was not King Zhenbei's adopted son Xie Yunfeng.

In fact, Zhou Shilin asked Xie Yunfeng to come and take back the body of King Zhenbei, but Xie Yunfeng refused.

He is no more than thirty years old, but he has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. He can survive on battlefields large and small safely. In addition to his strength, he also has intuition.

His intuition told him that if he went to take back the body of King Zhenbei, something would definitely happen.

If the person who went to welcome back Princess Zhenbei was Princess Zhenbei, he would be willing to take the risk, but King Zhenbei was not worth risking his own life.

Cao Xu was a little disappointed that he couldn't take this opportunity to catch Xie Yunfeng.

"Just hand over King Zhenbei's body to them. Do you believe they will let your son go after they get back King Zhenbei's body?"

Cao Xu glanced at Chen Yi.

"I understand Zhou Shilin. Since he has agreed, he will not go back on his word."

Although Chen Yi has never met Zhou Shilin, he knows a lot about his talents.

He is not a villain who goes back on his word. If he were a villain who went back on his promise, he would not risk burying the entire state army to avenge the King of Zhenbei.

Chen Yi knew very well that Zhou Shilin came here with great fanfare, not to welcome back the body of King Zhenbei, but mainly to avenge King Zhenbei.

"Really?" Cao Xu smiled and left directly.

If Chen Lan had not died, Zhou Shilin might not have gone back on his promise, but Chen Lan was already dead, and even if he wanted to hand Chen Lan over, he couldn't.

Unless he directly sent Chen Lan's body over, but Cao Xu estimated that Zhou Shilin would not dare to do this.

Sending Chen Lan's body directly over would not anger Chen Yi. .
