Chapter 771: The gears of fate have turned!

Inside the weed-filled courtyard, Wang Meng was looking at Zhang Cheng with a full smile.

And looking at Wang Meng's gaze, Zhang Cheng joked, "This humble room of yours is really nice, windy and rainy!"

"The General was also a beggar in the past, why care about these things!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a full smile, Wang Meng came to the table and chairs in the courtyard and said, "Renting this place cost me quite a bit of money!"

Fumbling in his pocket, Zhang Cheng threw a bag of silver to Wang Meng and said, "It's yours!"

"The General doesn't care about money?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Wang Meng asked.

"Money, hehe, no matter how much money there is, so what?"

Sitting in front of Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng picked up the teacup on the table and filled it up directly.

Looking at Zhang Cheng's free and easy movements, Wang Meng asked, "If you don't care about money, then you must want power!"

"You are a commoner, is it useful to ask me this? Or are you saying you want to assist me!"

Speaking to Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke.

"That depends on whether the General is worth it!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because he had long been recommended, and it was by Xu Tong of Later Zhao; he was a Palace Attendant!

"I've seen you in Jizhou?"

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Wang Meng.

"The General remembers? It was just when you were leaving the city that day, I happened to see the General's heroic posture!"

Putting down the teacup, Wang Meng couldn't help but say, "You are young and have already created such infamy; do you want to be reused, or do you want to betray the world?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng without much understanding, Wang Meng felt that the other party didn't look like someone without a brain.

However, after seeing Zhang Cheng being reused by Shi Hu, he vaguely felt that this young man, who was as young as himself, had some different ideas!

"Do you think Later Zhao can unify the world?"

Looking at Wang Meng asking himself, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"The General already knows in his heart, why ask me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Wang Meng couldn't help but joke.

"I really hate smart guys like you, because you calculate too much, so you never actively state your ideas!"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng then raised his head, looking at the starry sky and said, "Then tell me, can I slaughter all the Hu people in this world?"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Wang Meng was stunned on the spot after hearing this sentence.

Because Zhang Cheng's words were truly too shocking, so much so that Wang Meng hadn't expected it at all.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng stared at Wang Meng and said, "You are very smart, so the first time I saw you, I wanted to kill you! Because to me, you are an obstacle!"

"Then isn't Shi Min one? He is a fierce general of Later Zhao! And Shi Hu's adopted grandson, the one who promoted you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng was scared, but he wasn't worried.

Because if Zhang Cheng really wanted to take action, he would have drawn his blade long ago, instead of coming here to chat with him.

"Ran Min is different; he will rebel with me!"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng knew Ran Min's thoughts too clearly. If Shi Hu didn't die, Ran Min wouldn't rebel, but what if Shi Hu died? Then it wouldn't be Ran Min's call!

Zhang Cheng and the Qihuo Army would push Ran Min, forcing him to walk this path!

After all, in the eyes of the Hu people of Later Zhao, Ran Min was also a threat because he was Han, held military power, and was invincible—this was the reason Ran Min had to rebel!

As a commanding general, they had no choice, and Ran Min had no choice!

After hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Wang Meng suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Because he understood why Zhang Cheng was so sure Ran Min would rebel!

"Since the fall of Han, the North has not been peaceful for a long time. The Sima clan usurped power, telling the world that noble families get the world. Does Eastern Jin really belong to the Sima family? You don't go to Eastern Jin because you know it's already rotten to the core, which is why you seek a good master!" Picking up the teacup in his hand, Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Meng and couldn't help but joke.

"The General says this, could it be that you think you can stabilize the world?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, but I will do it, even if I am destroyed. And the Han people of this North should stand up!"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng stood up and walked outside.

Looking at Zhang Cheng's back, Wang Meng couldn't help but say, "If the General fails? Will you regret it? After all, your actions will cause countless commoners to die..."

"White bones exposed in the fields, not a rooster crowing for a thousand miles; the year is a great famine, people eat each other; don't envy the sheep, just light a fire, and the bones will rot."

Muttering something, Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at Wang Meng and said, "I will slaughter them all before they kill my compatriots!"

"In that case, Wang Meng wishes the General martial luck!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

!

Because Zhang Cheng was not the hegemon he had in mind. Although the other party was sufficiently murderous and strict in governing the army, he lacked the vision to govern the country.

The world cannot be pacified by killing alone!

But what Wang Meng didn't expect was that Zhang Cheng's so-called governing the country was: if the neighbor hoards grain, he hoards guns, and the neighbor becomes his granary!

Leaving the courtyard, a dagger suddenly appeared in Zhang Cheng's hand.

Because he wasn't sure if he should let Wang Meng go.

As a fierce man who assisted Fu Jian and gave Former Qin the qualifications of a hegemon, Zhang Cheng felt he should kill the other party.

But thinking that he would kill Wang Meng for just such a reason, he couldn't help but smile: "Am I cowardly? How many heroes are there in the world!"

Smiling as he walked into the darkness, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but hum a little tune: "Today I am not me, tomorrow he is not him, we will meet on the battlefield soon, only then will we know the truth."

One year later, outside Xiangguo,

The hunt was beginning. When Shi Hu, as the Heavenly King, appeared in person, the generals became excited one after another.

Standing beside Ran Min, Zhang Cheng asked, "General, who is this person? He looks unfamiliar!"

"You mean him? This is a personal guard I picked up on the Eastern Jin battlefield. This kid was scared to death when he first went to the battlefield, but he wasn't as fierce as you back then! He was even trembling with fear after killing someone!"

Patting the shoulder of the personal guard beside him, Ran Min joked.

But hearing Ran Min's joke, the other party remained cold and didn't speak, instead looking at Zhang Cheng.

"Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xinzhi! General of the Tooth Gate!"

Looking at the young man before him, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Lu Yan! Deputy General Battalion Commander of the Qihuo Army!"

Raising his head, Lu Yan glanced at Zhang Cheng and then continued to be responsible for vigilance.

"Lu Yan? Interesting!"

Looking at Lu Yan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh loudly, because to be praised by Ran Min, this kid must have killed quite a few people on the battlefield over the past year.

After all, as a soldier, Zhang Cheng knew the killing aura on the other party too well.

And just then, the Heavenly Wang Shi Hu walked out.

Looking at the other party's high and mighty appearance, Zhang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng saw Lu Yan slowly moving his hand toward his waist.

Seeming to have sensed something, Lu Yan immediately turned his head, looking at Zhang Cheng, and then put his hand down.

"This kid is not right!" Zhang Cheng.

"Damn it, why is he staring at me? No, I must find a chance to fix him!" Lu Yan!

Smiling at each other, only they knew the thoughts in their hearts.

But in the next second, Shi Hu spread his arms and said, "The hunt begins..."

Following Shi Hu's words, the slaves who had been released began to run all over the mountains and plains.

Looking at this scene in disbelief, Lu Yan gripped his long spear tightly, swallowing his saliva constantly, as if there was something he wanted to say.

But at this moment, Zhang Cheng curled his lips, his eyes flickering.
