Chapter 192 1 Cooperation
"How come you're his master?!"
Cui Dazhu looked at Gu Zhan in front of him, scratched his hair, and had not forgotten the scene of him seeing this person before.
When Gu Zhan heard Cui Dazhu's question, he calmly poured himself a cup of tea.
"Can't I be his master?"
"Yes, of course you can! How could you not!"
"You're so capable, what's the big deal about having one subordinate? If you ask me, you should have ten or eight of them, so you can use them to do things for you later."
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion. I also think four is too few. When I have time, I'll go raise four more."
Gu Zhan sipped his tea calmly, calling it tea because it was served in a cup, but it was actually just water.
Seeing him pour one cup after another, Cui Dazhu quickly grabbed the kettle and asked, "What's going on?"
"You took the girl I captured away, and now you want to drink all the water in my room?"
"I'm telling you, even though I can't beat you, you can't treat me like this..."
“They are not good people. They came here for other purposes. Their first target is the people here.”
The topic changed a bit too quickly; Cui Dazhu hadn't even finished speaking when he heard these words.
His face immediately turned serious!
Do you think I know?
What can I do?
He doesn't have three heads and six arms, nor does he possess any magical powers. Even if he hides among so many people here, it's not certain that he can escape.
"We can fatten them up and feed them all, then they won't be able to escape them."
"I've already sent someone to the county town. As long as my men can bring back reinforcements, then..."
Cui Dazhu pinned all his hopes on the reinforcements, but Gu Nan's next words shattered those hopes completely.
"You sent someone to the county government to call for reinforcements? Ha, what a coincidence. A few days ago, it was rumored in the county government that the county magistrate had already fled with his entire family and all his valuables."
Upon hearing this, Cui Dazhu slammed his hand on the table: "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
"The county magistrate is a local official and also an official appointed by the imperial court. How could he possibly run away? Where could he possibly run to?"
"Why do you care where they can run to? They've already run away. No matter how much you don't believe it, they've run away."
Gu Nan was ruthless in his speech; he would stab wherever it was most appropriate to do so.
Gu Zhan looked at the excited yet disbelieving Cui Dazhu: "Why do you believe so much that the county magistrate can help you find reinforcements?"
"Because he's an official! Even a minor official is still an official! It's better to let him go find the general than for us to be driven away before we even get to the door!"
It's not easy for ordinary people to meet an official, let alone a general. How could they, as commoners, possibly have an easy time meeting him?
But Cui Dazhu never expected that the county magistrate would actually run away. Was the news he sent over really that frightening? That it would scare the county magistrate away?
Upon hearing the words "Great General," Gu Nan fell silent. He glanced at Gu Zhan and then turned his head away.
Seeing Cui Dazhu's disappointed look, Gu Zhan asked, "Why do you think that finding the General will help you?"
"Are you stupid? Of course it's because the general has troops under his command!"
"I don't know where those people came from, or who they are, but they don't look like good people."
"They don't look like anything good to me, so maybe they aren't. If they aren't, then let the General bring his Ice and wipe them all out, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Hearing this, Gu Nan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Do you think soldiers are like roadside weeds, that you can just take them and pull them out whenever you want?"
Even if their general had soldiers, he wouldn't just bring them out so easily.
The people behind him weren't just a dozen or twenty; he had visited all those households, and there were probably several hundred of them.
To have at least one or two hundred people, you would need to find at least a hundred or two. It's simply impossible to move one or two hundred people without any instructions.
Moreover, their general currently has no troops at all. Apart from having a good reputation, he has nothing else. Otherwise, he wouldn't be living in Gu Family Village.
Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Cui Dazhu couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
He couldn't just sit here and wait to die; he wasn't the only one in this place. He had to find a way for those people to survive.
"I didn't tell you to sit idly by and wait to die. Aren't we here to help you? It's just that you don't want to believe it!"
Cui Dazhu was still skeptical. He stared at Gu Nan, then at Gu Zhan: "You say you can help me? Then how will you help me?"
The three of them discussed it in the room, but it was more of an argument between Cui Dazhu and Gu Nan than a discussion.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Nan Nan, this won't work. There are only two of you. How can you possibly defeat so many of them?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'll set a trap, I'll trap them. As long as we lure them to the trap, there won't be any problems..."
"And don't call me Little Nan Nan!"
"I know, but this still won't work!"
"They're not brainless; they'll definitely notice something's wrong. What if they change their minds and don't go at all?"
Hearing this, Gu Nan was furious. He really wanted to know what was going on in this person's head.
And how did he grow up? With his annoying attitude, has he never been beaten in his past life?
"Why do you have so many 'what ifs' in your head?"
“I have never encountered such a situation in my work. Even if it did, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Gu Zhan told Cui Dazhu about his plan, and Cui Dazhu nodded after listening.
Just as Gu Zhan was about to leave, Cui Dazhu suddenly approached him and asked, "Brother, can you tell me who you are?"
"Gu Zhan, a villager from Gu Family Village."
Upon returning to Gujia Village, Gu Zhan went to the Lin family's residence, but before leaving, he returned to his own place.
He stood at the door with both hands full, but didn't knock for a long time. It wasn't until Lin's mother came out to get water that she saw a figure outside.
Upon opening the door, one could see Gu Zhan standing outside.
"Gu Zhan? What are you doing here? Why aren't you coming in? What are you doing standing there like an idiot at the door?"
As Lin's mother spoke, she led the people inside.
