Chapter 697 Doubt
Chen Ze naturally understood how Gu Qingfeng felt.
Unlike Chen Ming, he has always had an admiration for Tang Tianxing. On the contrary, Gu Qingfeng has always regarded Tang Tianxing as a competitor since everyone came out of Bo'an City.
But judging from his performance in the Nantes province, Tang Tianxing was obviously better.
Whether it was sneaking into Ter City without anyone noticing and killing the guard, or later being ordered by Chen Ze to go to Yufeng City to snatch two vital tokens, Tang Tianxing had done everything perfectly.
On the other hand, he himself only did the superficial work of a scout.
For Gu Qingfeng, this does not mean that Tang Tianxing is more powerful than him, but that Chen Ze did not give him a chance.
Tang Tianxing can sneak into Ter City, but Gu Qingfeng can't?
Tang Tianxing could snatch back two tokens from Yufeng City, but Gu Qingfeng couldn't do it without trying.
It's just that Chen Ze didn't send him there.
Is this the reason why Gu Qingfeng's loyalty suddenly dropped?
After thinking about this, Chen Ze couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Could this guy be jealous?
No, it is not accurate to say that he is jealous. It should be said that Gu Qingfeng feels that he is being left out and not taken seriously.
Perhaps, in Gu Qingfeng's heart, he is a ruthless person who only values strength?
But given the situation at that time, was it okay not to let Tang Tianxing go?
Needless to say, Tel City, if Tang Tianxing had not been impulsive because of Tang Feng, they would not have exposed their whereabouts, and Cheng Hong would certainly not have discovered Chen Ze's arrival so early.
Speaking of which, Tang Tianxing at that time not only had no merit, but actually had some faults.
As for Chen Ze later asking Tang Tianxing to go to Yufeng City, it's not that he didn't believe that Gu Qingfeng and others could do it, but because of Tang Feng's relationship, Chen Ze didn't want to leave Tang Tianxing idle.
Tang Feng was in Iihe City at that time. As a father, it was normal for Tang Tianxing to be worried.
But in view of Tang Tianxing's previous impulsiveness, Chen Ze was unwilling to have the same thing happen again.
You must know that at that time, the only people who could communicate with Iihe City were the Tang family's Xiangjian.
If Tang Tianxing caused any trouble again, it would be another big blow to Chen Ze, who was already in a very difficult situation at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ze's first choice was to send Tang Tianxing to Yufeng City.
We must find something for Tang Tianxing to do, and we cannot leave this man idle.
This was what Chen Ze was thinking at that time.
Unexpectedly, it made Gu Qingfeng feel that he was no longer important, which Chen Ze had never thought of.
As for why he still asked Tang Tianxing to go to Dongping City this time, it was just a matter of habit.
Apart from Tang Tianxing's abnormal behavior due to Tang Feng, I have to say that he is still a good helper.
The current situation is that Chen Ze and others have successfully completed the first step and obtained the token of Fengqi Province from Ouyang Lixing. Now they only need to rely on this token to gather a team in Fengqi Province.
You can use your troops to achieve your goals.
It sounds very simple, but the closer it gets to the last moment, the more unexpected things may happen, the less we can relax.
Just like now, it is a situation beyond Chen Ze's judgment.
What is going on in Dongping City will directly affect Chen Ze's follow-up plans, and will also affect the key to whether he can evacuate from Dongping City once he rescues the hostages.
At such a critical moment, how could Chen Ze have the time to think about what his subordinates were thinking.
Of course he does it as conveniently as possible and as securely as possible.
The reason why Tang Tianxing was sent there was indeed because he believed that Tang Tianxing's strength was higher than that of everyone present, so it would be more secure.
Others were not considered.
What he didn't expect was that his instruction would drop Gu Qingfeng's loyalty by ten points.
Who should he talk to to reason with this?
Seeing Gu Qingfeng sullenly walking to a corner and sitting down, Chen Ze shook his head.
Some comfort?
Chen Ze also knew Gu Qingfeng very well. This guy was not someone who could just give him some words of comfort.
He simply ignored it and sat down beside the map that was still spread out, lowering his head and pondering his next plan.
Let’s talk about Tang Tianxing.
His Qinggong is indeed the highest among the many masters present.
In addition, the road ahead had already been explored by Chen Ming and others, so he didn't need to be distracted. He arrived at the foot of Dongping City in less than a quarter of an hour.
Everything is as seen on that map, and there is no difference in the topography of Dongping City and its surroundings.
Moreover, Tang Tianxing observed outside Dongping City for a long time and found that the city's defense was even worse than that of Ter City.
No wonder.
After all, Ter City is still a major city, and it has advantages that Dongping City does not have.
What's more, Ter City is also responsible for preventing possible reinforcements from Anluo Province, so its city defense force must naturally be far away from Dongping City.
What about here in Dongping City?
To Cheng Hong, it was just a small inland city, and it was unknown what purpose he had in occupying it. In short, according to Tang Tianxing's observation, the looseness of Dongping City's defenses could be described as crude.
He waited for such a while, not entirely observing, but at the same time waiting for a certain moment to come.
Tang Tianxing looked up at the sky.
At this time in the evening, not long after, the sky will darken completely. By then, Tang Tianxing will be even more at home.
Even now, when Dongping City was supposed to be serving dinner to the soldiers, the few defenders on the city suddenly lost more than half!
This is something that other cities, especially cities like Iiho City that are under enemy attack, simply don't dare to think about.
But here it seems to have become commonplace.
Tang Tianxing even saw that as soon as they heard that there was food to be eaten, a large number of soldiers on the city stretched themselves greatly, dropped their weapons and left in a very unsoldier manner.
He is said to be a soldier, but more like a civilian.
Moreover, Tang Tianxing also noticed that the military uniforms worn by these soldiers were not owned by the Bailie Empire or the Qingyang Empire, but still belonged to the Zhu Yan Empire.
Is this the other party pretending, or is it for some other reason?
Tang Tianxing frowned.
Before leaving, Chen Ze explained to him the reason for sending him.
Chen Ze said that Dongping City was most likely occupied by Cheng Hong, but he couldn't figure out the reason. That's why Tang Tianxing was needed to capture the Dongping City guard. He wanted to ask questions.
ask.
But with the current situation, is Dongping City really occupied?
