Chapter 181: Casting the Net
When Xiao Renqing returned to the barracks, someone around him came to report.
"General, General Deng also went out after you left the camp today. β
Xiao Renqing nodded, "Cheng Ying, when you release the news, you say that I got a secret letter, which is a local official who reported that some officials and Shang confessed to colluding with the Japanese Bandits. β
He traveled very secretly today, and he was surrounded by experts, so he was sure that he was not being followed. So no one will know who he went to meet, at most he is out of the barracks.
Cheng Ying was puzzled, "General, what do you want to ......?"
Xiao Renqing patted Cheng Ying on the shoulder, this is his right-hand man, one of the most trustworthy people, there is no need to hide it, so he told his plan.
Cheng Ying's spirit was shocked, and he said happily, "That old guy, pretending to be stupid every day, is like an uncle! Lao Tzu really didn't like him for a long time!"
Xiao Renqing said, "If you want to pull him off the horse, you must catch the real evidence, otherwise with his prestige and connections in the navy for so many years, it will be difficult for us to convince the public." If we keep him, we will be restrained at every turn, and we can only stay on the shore, and we will never be able to rescue him! β
Cheng Ying took Xiao Renqing's words seriously, and many times, they were all played around, which made many people have negative emotions. It's really annoying that the people of the water army are still watching the excitement with their feet crossed.
General Deng is actually not very old, that is, he is in his forties. But he hasn't moved much over the years, he looks like he has a big belly, and he walks a little slowly, in the eyes of the Xiao family, who are all elites, this is a wasted person.
But this person, relying on his own honest face, does not do anything to do things, and likes to pretend to be stupid, and never forgets to show you that ugly smile. I really don't like it.
"General, General Xiao came back before you, and he seems to be very happy to see him. β
Everyone has henchmen, and General Deng is no exception. He slowly walked over to his large chair and sat down, adjusting his comfortable position before asking, "Do you know where he went?"
The henchman shook his head, "According to your orders, our people followed him out of Ying, and it shouldn't be long before he was discovered." Then he lost the man. What is certain is that they entered the city, but it is not known exactly where they went. β
"Go and find out where he has gone today, who he has met, and why he is happy. General Deng took the tea handed over by his personal guard, and drank it in a big gulp before saying, "The wind is very tight now, you all be careful." I heard that two messengers were sent down. β
The henchman smiled, "We have seen a lot of Qincha, you can rest assured." β
General Deng also smiled, "Don't take it lightly, you kid, I heard that it was the person who came to stir up the storm in the city last time, it was a hard stubble, how many people still hate it now." β
"Those two generals have also heard of it, but they are just two hairy boys, just messing around. Now I came this time, I'm afraid that I got the sweetness last time! In this muddy water, whoever comes to it will have to be covered in mud, and just by looking at them daring to come, I know that they are not smart. β
"Alright, you can go quickly. At the end of the day, I was tired. General Deng waved his hand and yawned. The henchman walked out of General Deng's tent and walked through the camp tent of the gang leader army alone, and he knew that a certain favorite general of General Xiao liked to come to eat a bowl of somen noodles at night. And this person is five big and three thick and can lift a thousand pounds, but he speaks and does things very straight, and it is easy to clichΓ©.
A certain Ai Jiang, who has eaten three bowls of noodles, is full of depression, and he can't help but slander in his heart, "Damn, Lao Tzu has been waiting here for more than half an hour, and I want to vomit, why hasn't the person the boss said come yet?"
Thereupon......
"General Wang!"
"General Lee!"
Both of them were looking forward to seeing each other's people meet, and they were full of joy when they greeted each other, and naturally the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.
"I heard that General Wang went out with General Xiao today? But he entered the city? There is a noodle restaurant in Osmanthus Lane in the city, although it is not big, but the taste is excellent!" General Li sincerely recommended.
General Wang was a little disgusted when he ate noodles, but he was not so interested, and only said lightly, "I haven't heard of it, where do I have time to eat, I just ate a basket of steamed buns when I went out for a day." β
"I only ate a basket of steamed buns......? Hehe, it's really hard for General Wang to follow General Xiao. "General Li did not forget to stir up relations at all times.
General Wang looked a little stunned, but a general who can achieve five grades, we may not have a brain? He didn't say that he ate ten treasure buns, and the value of that cage of buns was enough to go to the restaurant to eat a table of food. "What should we do then? General Xiao is very busy! We don't have the heart to stay outside when we get the secret letter!"
General Li's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand as if he didn't care, "What kind of secret letter is better than eating?
"That's not it! That's the official ...... who reported collusion with the Japanese invaders," General Wang said halfway through, and patted his head in annoyance, "Oh, I forgot, I still have some things, so I'll go first." β
General Li smiled absently, this half sentence was enough. This stupid big man is really straight-eyed.
The more General Li pondered about it, the more he felt that the matter was a bit serious. He thought about General Deng's habits, and couldn't help but learn from them. If you go to report at this time, you will have to bump into something that you shouldn't bump into. But if you don't say it, I'm afraid it's too late. In case General Xiao sent a secret letter directly......
General Li stomped his feet fiercely, "Well, let's go hard! Otherwise, if we delay the matter, we will not be able to benefit ourselves! General Deng seems to be fine on weekdays, but in fact his temper is a little uncertain, and if he gets angry, the person who offends him will be more unlucky than dead.
"When you go in and report it, you say that I have something important to repay. General Li stood outside the camp tent and said to the guards on duty at night.
The two guards couldn't help but glance at each other, and one of them said, "General Li, I'm afraid it's not appropriate at this time...... Inside, it's not over yet. β
General Li naturally knew what was going on inside, and there was still some distance from the camp, and he could hear the wheezing sound inside. He pouted, "How long?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while. The guard silently calculated, and replied.
General Li frowned, and fought fiercely in his heart for a while, "Go and report, there is something to count on me!"
Seeing that General Li was insistent and righteous, the guards didn't say much, walked to the door of the camp tent and said loudly, "General Deng, General Li has something important to return!"
