Chen Gu knew that Zhang Jiaan's accent was a bit strange, but such a superficial thing did not mean anything. After all, the accents in different parts of Guangdong were very complicated.

People living near the plain terrain of the Pearl River Delta in Guangzhou basically speak Cantonese, which is actually the Middle Ages pronunciation from the Tang and Song dynasties. In the mountainous areas of other prefectures and counties, the accent is even more ancient.

This is because, every time there is a war in the Central Plains, there will always be people migrating to the south. This has happened in every dynasty, and people who hide in the mountains are difficult to assimilate, so they retain their ancient accents.

It is normal to have different accents every ten miles.

So the Cantonese accent doesn’t mean anything.

And Zhang Shan, as a deputy governor, didn't even know the specific origins of Zhang Jiaan, which made Zhang Jiaan seem even more mysterious.

After chatting for a while, Chen Gu sent Zhang Shan down to rest.

After Zhang Shan left, Lao Nian sighed and said, "It's so similar!"

"Like what?" Zheng Ming was stunned and asked casually.

Lao Nian looked at Chen Gu and said, "Before we left the mountain, there was a brother named Zhang San, the "San" in "one, two, three", who was Zhang Haomin's youngest son. He looked exactly like Zhang Shan. I never thought there would be two people in the world who are so similar!"

Zheng Ming frowned instantly and asked, “Zhang Haomin actually has a little son?”

"This is not a secret, it's just that no one wants to talk about it!" Chen Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang San was the first brother to follow me. At that time, I didn't even know that the old man had a village."

"Where are those three people?" Zheng Ming asked.

"He's dead. Our plan to kill Addis left a flaw after all. In addition, the old man sold arms to the White Lotus Sect, and Delentang found the clue. So Delentang led 500 elite troops to chase him to Jiangjin County.

The old man and Zhang San were the first to be hit. The old man was severely injured and on the verge of death, and Zhang San was imprisoned and tortured. In the end, although I led people out of the mountains and entered the city to fight with Delentang and rescued the two, they did not survive because of their serious injuries. "

Chen Gu sighed again as he spoke. This was his biggest regret since he came to this world. After all, the first person he met after he came to this world was Zhang San.

It was because of Zhang San that he became Liu Er's disciple and had a meal. He then spent a long time with the two of them and many things happened to them, but the two of them died just like that.

Liu Er was still thinking about him before he died, and Zhang Shan said before he died that he had not betrayed him.

Zheng Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Leader, do you think this is just a coincidence?" The reminder in his tone was self-evident.

"Who knows?" Chen Gu smiled bitterly and said, "If it is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence. If it is not a coincidence, then it is a conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?" Lao Nian asked in surprise, then looked at Zheng Ming and then at Chen Gu.

At the Wuchang City Posthouse, Zhang Shan took out a steel needle that was glowing blue and wiped it carefully.

The steel needle was very thin, about the same size as a sewing needle of this era, but it was made very delicately. There was actually a blood-draining groove on the tiny steel needle, but it was not used for bleeding, but for releasing poison.

Because the steel needle is connected to a small hollow wooden handle, and inside the wooden handle is poison. The amount is not much, but it is enough to kill a person.

Zhang Shan came to Wuchang for three purposes, the first of which was to purchase military equipment. The strength of the Huaxia tribe was not only due to the extortion of the gentry and the nobles and the common people, but also due to the military equipment. Among them, bulletproof vests, rifles, and submachine guns were the most powerful military equipment of the Huaxia tribe, and among these three, the rifle was the most powerful.

The excellent performance of the rifle has completely changed the mode of warfare.

Unfortunately, Chen Gui rejected the Tiandihui's purchase request without hesitation. Of course, this was also within their expectations.

Since it is impossible to purchase military equipment, then we have to settle for the next best thing and disperse some of the Hua Xia troops. Although 3,000 people are not a lot, they can distract the 3,000 main forces of the Hua Xia and prevent them from participating in the frontal battlefield, which can somewhat relieve some of the pressure on the Qing army.

The third purpose, and also the most important purpose of Zhang Shan’s trip, is to find a way to kill Chen Gu.

The core of the Huaxia tribe is Chen Gu, and Chen Gu's descendants are still very young. As long as Chen Gu can be killed, given that the military and other departments of the Huaxia tribe are not subordinate to each other, once Chen Gu dies, the Huaxia tribe is likely to split into two factions.

After all, half of the Huaxia Department is in the hands of the gentry, and the other half is in the hands of a group of peasants. The two factions are in a natural state of opposition.

Even the military is divided into the copycat faction and the green camp faction.

These situations are naturally not a problem under the suppression of a powerful figure like Chen Gu. After all, as long as Chen Gu is there, everyone else has to lie dormant.

But as long as Chen Gu dies, the situation will probably change drastically. After all, the Huaxia tribe is too harsh in treating the gentry and the powerful.

Therefore, as long as Chen Gu is killed, there will inevitably be considerable unrest in the Huaxia tribe, and then the court will have an opportunity.

Not to mention completely wiping out the Huaxia tribe, but at least the chance of taking back the entire Jiangnan area will be very great. By then, with the cooperation of Rong An, the insider, a fatal blow can be delivered at the critical moment, which will definitely inflict heavy damage to the Huaxia tribe.

As long as we defeat the Huaxia tribe once, seize their arms and then copy them in large quantities, the Huaxia tribe will no longer have any advantages.

The remaining remnant forces of the Huaxia tribe will no longer pose a threat to the imperial court that controls the world, and their defeat is only a matter of time.

Of course, all these turning points depend on whether he can kill Chen Gu. If he succeeds, Zhang Shan will be the one who changes history.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan became extremely excited. Although he was a Han Chinese, he claimed to have received the emperor's favor in the previous life. He could not accept the Huaxia tribe's approach of suppressing the gentry and the powerful and instead giving preferential treatment to ordinary people.

The world is so small and there is so much land, how is it possible for everyone to live a good life? It is indeed possible for everyone to have food and clothing, but the prerequisite is that no one lives in luxury.

As a vested interest, Zhang Shan is naturally not satisfied with just having enough food and clothing. If he has to live like that, he would rather risk his life and exchange the hard life for the rest of his life to leave a name in history books.

Therefore, Zhang Shan came to Wuchang not because he was forced, but because he came willingly.

"It's not easy to attack Chen Gu!" Zhang Shan sighed as he put away the steel needle.

He only had one chance to attack, and Chen Gu not only came from a military background and could fight on the battlefield himself, but he also wore a bulletproof vest all the time, so there were not many places he could attack!

As for sniping at a long distance with a raised rifle, the hope is even slimmer. After all, the accuracy of a raised rifle is too poor, and it is impossible to carry a large amount of explosives with you, so the only option is to assassinate at close range.

Zhang Shan was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of failure at the last minute and dying in vain. (End of this chapter)
