Chapter 4, Crafty Maneuvers
Because he simply cannot explain things like mobile phones, videos, and charging to the people of this era, and there is no second mobile phone. Moreover, even if there were, it would be useless; such things cannot be repeated.
Regardless of what it is, this matter must have been done by someone with the surname Chen. If we capture him, we will surely be able to understand the situation.
Upon hearing these words, the soldiers responded with a thunderous roar, their momentum soaring like a rainbow
"There really is a woman's voice! It sounds like singing," confirmed a soldier who usually had quite good hearing.
What a bunch of unsophisticated people, a single song "NoBody" caused a system crash? If a song like "Little Apple" were played, wouldn't you all turn into ice-cold individuals? Seeing all this, Chen Wen couldn't help but sneer inwardly
After realizing that he had no other choice that day, Chen Wen's mind was consumed with thoughts of how to escape. It was not until he brushed off the dust and felt the phone in the inner pocket of his suit that a plan began to take shape in his mind
It seems there is a woman's voice!" a close guard outside the main hall suddenly said.
Chen Wen shook his head, took a few deep breaths, and then walked out of the courtyard
However, just these few pieces of information have already filled Wang Sheng with immense joy. The need for a scholar to travel alone, journeying a thousand miles to deliver military intelligence is, in itself, no trivial matter. If this aligns with his previous considerations, namely that the Qing army is preparing to attack Siming Mountain, then delivering this news to the Qing court would undoubtedly be a significant achievement
Suddenly, he immediately turned around and quickly walked towards the altar of the main hall, taking out his phone from the pocket of his suit as he walked. The device had already been turned on when he had previously pretended to go to the restroom. He unlocked it, adjusted the volume to the maximum, and found and set the video file he was prepared to play.
It seems that this fellow is not too foolish after all
nine, ten
Until noon today, Chen Wen specifically came to inquire about Feng Jingdi's appearance, personality, and hobbies. It was only then that Wang Sheng discovered that this fellow could read and write. No wonder he rarely spoke; it turned out he, like that Minister Feng, considered himself a scholar and looked down on conversing with martial men
Upon witnessing this shocking scene, Chen Wen immediately gestured to the young man, signaling him not to disturb others, and arranged for him to take the position where he had been standing earlier
Opportunities come only once
Although it is unclear why he is unwilling to meet Feng Jingdi, it is certain that this fellow will not be mistaken in going to Dalan Mountain, after all, he is acting on someone else's behalf. Such scholars who pride themselves on being righteous will certainly not easily give up.
As soon as the words fell, the lackey immediately led a group of soldiers to kneel and pay their respects. "The commander loves his soldiers as his own children; we shall certainly go through fire and water for the commander, without hesitation"
I apologize, General Wang. I will not be meeting with Minister Feng. Our transaction is hereby null and void. However, in business, even if a deal does not go through, there remains a sense of righteousness. I will remember your great achievements in the 17th century for the cause of resisting Korea, sending you a kiss.
As he approached the altar, Chen Wen placed his phone at the feet of the clay statue of the deity worshipped in this temple, pressed play, and quickly stepped back two paces, standing facing the phone.
In the yard, there is half a rabbit, while the other half has only bones left. There are also some dry rations scattered around the campfire, and the other half has already been thrown into the pot to soak and cook.
At this moment, he looked at the crowd in the great hall, his face filled with self-satisfaction
Suddenly, that sycophantic officer shouted.
The rest are all matters that could lead to execution; it is time to win over the hearts of the troops.
It seemed like a reciprocal exchange. After Wang Sheng finished asking Chen Wen about his questions, he finally received a clear answer regarding his purpose for going up the mountain. It was indeed military intelligence, specifically information from the Qing army. However, it was unfortunate that when Wang Sheng probed further, Chen Wen fell silent.
Upon witnessing this, Chen Wen immediately turned his head back. Having already exited the main hall, everything in the courtyard came into view. However, it was completely empty.
When Chen Wen entered the grand hall, the people before him resembled the group of sleeping infected individuals that Will Smith encountered in "I Am Legend," standing before the altar and gasping for breath.
In an instant, all the answers seemed to emerge before Wang Sheng's eyes
In the 21st century, it is quite normal for mobile phones to play video files; however, for the people of the 17th century, both mobile phones and video files are completely unimaginable concepts. Chen Xi's plan is to leverage the shock brought about by this unimaginable phenomenon to capture the attention of these individuals, thereby facilitating his escape
However, escaping requires time, and relying solely on these is absolutely insufficient. Therefore, Chen Wen needs this video file to enhance this impact, and the song NoBody, which has inexplicably existed on the phone for some time, is a very good choice
They are either shy, charming, playful, or adorable; their attire is provocative and alluring. Every gesture they make is filled with temptation, and their singing seems to convey emotions that they have never experienced before
Secondly, after these two days, Chen Wen has basically confirmed his suspicion that these individuals are primarily from farming families, and most of them are unmarried and have little opportunity to interact with the opposite sex
It is nothing, soon you will regret that your parents did not give you a few more mouths when they brought you into this world
Chen Wen swallowed hard, trying to calm his heart. Yes, there should still be a doorkeeper; that young man must be outside in the courtyard
Seventeen, eighteen
Chen Wen felt as if his heart had risen to his throat, making every effort to keep his voice steady. "Of course, I will be going in as well."
In this video, firstly, the attire of these women may not be significant in the 21st century, but in the 17th century, during the era dominated by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism across China, it is indeed excessively revealing. Furthermore, although the movements of the dance are simple, it is precisely these straightforward body languages that convey the women's shy charm and playful cuteness, while also highlighting the beauty of their curves. Lastly, there is the upright microphone, which Chen Wen has always regarded as having a sexual suggestive function.
Wang Sheng immediately turned around and hurried up the steps of the main hall in a few quick strides, only to see Chen Xi, who had just been dozing against the wall, now standing in front of the altar.
Thirteen, fourteen
Thus, Wang rose and walked out of the main hall of the Mountain God Temple. He took the delicacies prepared solely for him from the hands of his personal guards, glanced at the group of soldiers in front of him who were swallowing their saliva at the sight of the food in his hands, and smiled faintly
Not correct, missing one!
我想要没有人,没有人,没有人,没有人
In almost an instant, these grassroots warriors, who come from different backgrounds, have varied experiences, hold different military positions, and may have different futures, stood there like their commanding officer, frozen in shock
Is it really necessary to be so extreme
Wang Sheng sat in the center of the mountain god's temple, glancing at Chen Wen, who was leaning against the wall and already dozing off, revealing a hint of a smile
Oh. The young man, without any suspicion, turned and walked into the courtyard, but as soon as he crossed the courtyard gate, he immediately turned back. "Mr. Chen, are you not going in?"
Wang Sheng leaned weakly against the wall, his gaze vacant. Most of his subordinates were in a similar state.
Suddenly, Chen Wen strode out of the courtyard, disappearing into the vastness of the night.
At this moment, inside the main hall, Chen Wen immediately opened his eyes and stealthily approached the door of the hall. He noticed that everyone's attention in the courtyard seemed to be focused on that half of a rabbit.
Therefore, it is time to leave now
Well, I understand, thank you. Having said that, the young man clasped his fists in salute and then followed Chen Wen inside
The dusk in the mountains arrives earlier than that outside the mountains. In the dilapidated mountain god temple at the foot of the mountain, a group of people is busy in the courtyard preparing for dinner.
Late at night
Immediately afterwards, Wang Sheng suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Boys, that thing just now must have been created by that person with the surname Chen. Let us take a shortcut to Dalan Mountain and capture him to get to the bottom of this!"
... ...
Wang Sheng pondered back and forth, always feeling that if he could bring a team of Qing soldiers to capture that fellow Feng Jing at that time, the Qing court would surely reward him with a position of real power as a guerrilla leader along with a lucrative post as compensation
In the era of Chen Wen, during the peak years of Nobody's popularity, every time the electronic screens on commercial streets or the televisions in stores played it, it would invariably attract passersby to stop and watch. He even witnessed someone so engrossed in watching the big screen that they bumped into a utility pole.
Chen Wenxin thought to himself: "It is time!"
one, two ... ...
Wang Sheng walked to the center of the courtyard, tore off half a rabbit, and handed it to the lackey, saying: "In my military command, merits will be rewarded and faults will be punished. These days, my brothers have worked hard, so this half rabbit is a reward for you all"
Chen Wen quickly packed a piece of cloth, placing the roasted rabbit meat and a portion of relatively clean dry rations inside.
Mr. Chen is missing
As expected, the young man also experienced a breakdown, just like their predecessors
Wang Sheng originally thought that Chen Wen was somewhat taller and stronger than the average person of this era, and assumed that his temper would not be too good. However, he unexpectedly turned out to be remarkably honest. Chen Wen was merely taciturn, responding with only a few words when asked, and he did not initiate conversations either, which made Wang Sheng feel a subtle sense of unease.
five, six ... ...
At this moment, a group of officers, personal guards, and soldiers followed Wang Sheng into the main hall. What greeted their eyes, however, was their immediate superior and the tall scholar standing before the statue, enveloped in the mysterious atmosphere created by the unknown woman's song and the woven melodies of the music
At this moment, Wang Sheng had clearly heard the somewhat vague sounds from the courtyard. He slowly walked to the altar, casting a puzzled glance at Chen Wen, only to find that this tall scholar was staring blankly, his face filled with disbelief. Following his gaze, Wang Sheng quickly focused on the object at the foot of the statue that was emitting light and sound waves.
Where is he?
It has been the third day since Chen Wen followed him to meet Feng Jing. Along the way, Chen Wen ate when he should, slept when he should, and never procrastinated when it was time to set off. He never complained no matter how far he walked. Even when he encountered the subordinates of Mao Jingang's team yesterday, Chen Wen did not make any unusual moves, and was even more obedient than his own subordinates.
One of them is repetition. In the era of the information explosion in the 21st century, many people know that the use of repetition can strengthen the language, enhance the melody, and increase the sense of language rhythm, thus effectively expressing emotions. This song constantly repeats "I want nobody nobody but You," occupying almost one-third of the entire song. If only the word "Nobody" is counted, it is even more astonishing. The reinforced sense of rhythm is evident in this way.
Instantly, a group of soldiers who were dividing rabbit meat stopped one after another and listened attentively.
Walking into the yard, Chen Wen touched the belt on his body and looked at the waist knives and bamboo spears thrown on the ground, still feeling determined in his heart.
Chen Wen turned his head in panic. Fortunately, this group of people was still in a daze, completely unaware of his actions. Thus, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and count the number of people once again, and the result turned out to be that there was indeed one less. Chen Wen thought for a moment; it should be that shy young man who had called him over that day.
Sitting in the mountain god temple, Wang Sheng secretly calculated the journey. If he maintained this speed, he would likely be able to leave the defense zone of Dalan Mountain by noon tomorrow. At that time, he would find a place to administer severe torture, believing that he could extract information from this person.
In just three minutes of video, Chen Wen set it to loop, but the battery is only two bars left, and this is thanks to the power bank that was sold as a paperweight.
You know I still love you, baby. And it will never change
At that moment, Wang Sheng stood there, as if his soul had been sucked away by this object he had never seen before, in a state of shock and speechlessness.
With the advantage of standing in advance, Chen Wen smoothly got pushed to the back of the crowd by the people in front of him.
I want nobody nobody but You
I want https://www.comcom nobody nobody but you
The phone that was playing the video still faithfully attracted everyone's attention. Chen Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked out.
Thinking of this, Wang Sheng smelled the scent of roasted rabbit meat. Based on his experience, the rabbit was almost cooked.
What is this, after all?
It came from the main hall!
A clear and gentle female voice came from the mobile phone.
What is this? What are all these?
As they arrived, the crowd walked gingerly towards the statue. Soon, under their gaze, they quickly discovered the source of all this.
Chen Wen took two steps back, slowly turned around, and quietly walked out of the hall.
Finally, it's a win-win situation.
How could there be a woman in this dilapidated mountain temple? I just searched it a moment ago. Are all people blind? Wang Sheng was about to reprimand this soldier, but before the words came out, he seemed to vaguely hear something.
Isn't that murder! Am I going crazy
The object before me, resembling a thin brick, seems to lead to another world. On a high platform that appears to be used for military assembly, five young ladies, dressed in attire I have never seen before, dance gracefully to the rhythm of the music, each encircling a round iron net-like stick in front of them.
I have never told anyone about my intention to vote for Qing, so he definitely did not run away because of that; rather, it must be that he is afraid to meet Feng Jingdi
The phone on the altar had long since run out of battery, yet Wang Sheng and his subordinates remained immersed in the melody from earlier
At this moment, just as he had anticipated, a hint of a smile crossed Chen Wen's lips. There is no reason for something that can attract attention even in the 21st century to fail to impress this group of 17th-century bumpkins before him
"Little brother." As he watched the young man turn around, Chen Wenli calmly said, "General Wang saw something new and unfamiliar, and he wants you to go in and take a closer look."
NoBody is the final piece of the renowned South Korean girl group Wonder Girls' "Retro Trilogy". Since its release, this song has swept the globe at an unimaginable speed. There are many reasons for its success, but for Chen Wen, he only needs two points.
Seeing the relaxed expression on the young man's face, Chen Wen walked over with a smile and patted his shoulder, saying, "Be clever, don't speak out of turn if you don't understand. Nowadays, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. The less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. If you don't say anything, you won't make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
Opportunities only come once!
