417: The Man Behind the Pot
"Newspaper—"
Outside the tent, there was the sound of long announcements and approaching footsteps of soldiers, mixed with the clashing of armor and weapons.
The bamboo leaf next to the table leg on the left trembled, and quietly leaned out a little.
The commander of the "Feng Family Army" is a middle-aged strong man with a long beard, his facial features are as sharp and angular as a knife and axe, and his eyes under the two thick eyebrows are spewing fire. As soon as he heard the soldier's message, he stood up directly from behind his desk, and the scales collided with a loud sound.
"What about people?"
The commander glared fiercely at the soldier's bowed back.
The soldier didn't make eye contact with the commander, but he also felt the scorching magma rage and shivered.
"Back to ...... Back to the words of the marshal......"
The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
“...... The man fled, and the tent found no trace of him!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes as if he was fated, and was mentally prepared to be deaf by the commander's roar.
Sure enough, after three breaths of silence, the commander's voice suddenly rose up, like a dry thunder exploding in his ears on a sunny day, and his ears buzzed. The commander, who had a fairly calm temperament, was furious at this time, and the long sword he held in his hand was filled with anger that had nowhere to vent.
He slashed two weapon racks like a hate, and the commander suppressed the emotions that were tumbling in his heart.
"Say!" When did he not see him, and when was the last time he saw him?"
The commander's eyes were red from the anger he had left, and he didn't dare to look at him.
The soldier asked early.
"Back to the marshal's words, that messenger was not seen yesterday before the key to Licheng. ”
The commander rubbed his swollen temples with a headache.
"Yesterday it was gone, why don't you send someone to follow? Why don't you send someone back?"
The soldier hesitated and held back a sentence for a while.
"The messenger is going into the city, and the woman ......"
People enter the city happily, it's not that they didn't bring an entourage to escort them, and the "Feng Family Army" sent troops to follow them?
It is even more ridiculous to return to the commander-in-chief.
The envoys are tired of the boredom of the military camp and want to go to the nearby city to find a good time, and they can still tell the commander of the first army about this in detail?
Absolutely impossible.
The commander said with a dark face: "I went out yesterday and didn't come back?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I didn't come back, the people are gone." ”
The commander asked, "Have you checked the luggage in the tent, and what have they taken with you?"
The soldier paused, then replied cautiously.
"Back to Marshal...... All checked. I didn't take away my clothes, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but I took all the valuable items away. ”
Bringing valuable items to the city maiden is a logical and normal operation.
Who knows that the messenger will never return.
The marshal regained some of his senses and lowered his eyes in deep thought.
Looking at it this way, could it be that the messenger knew that the deeds of the fraudulent transfer of troops were exposed, so he fled?
But that doesn't make sense.
"Fengjiajun" is a clay pot found near a farmer's pig toilet this morning, I thought that the crockpot hid the continuation of the farmer's house, but when it was opened, it was a stamped document, a wood-carved tiger talisman and a seal that I don't know who it was.
These things were rightfully brought back and turned in, and then ......
The more trouble got bigger, and in the end, even the commander of the "Feng Family Army" was shocked.
As soon as he saw those things, the commander felt that the sky was dark, and many dark shadows were hovering in front of him.
His first reaction was disbelief.
Which guy ate the bear's heart leopard and dared to falsely spread the will of the troops?
As he carefully proofread the two papers, the throbbing movement in his chest grew louder and louder, and each stroke was heavy enough to make an echo.
The commander sent for the messenger.
If the messenger came to confront him, there might be a reversal, but the soldier directly said that the messenger was gone.
The commander sat back in a cold sweat.
He knew that there was no need to confront each other, this messenger was definitely tired!
"Whew-"
With a long sigh of relief, the marshal clenched his huge fist.
"Come on, even if it's three feet into the ground—you have to catch the thief back, and you will see people alive and corpses when you die!"
After all, he felt a sense of weakness and weakness.
He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like after the "Fengjia Army" withdrew from Licheng in accordance with the instructions after the delay of another three or five days.
“...... This is definitely Yan Huoluo's conspiracy!"
"Yan Huoluo" is a country adjacent to Chaoxia, and it is also the enemy who wants to use troops against Chaoxia this time.
If this assumption is true......
The fear that came like a tide almost drowned the commander.
He was shocked by the treacherous viciousness of the commander of "Yan Huoluo", and at the same time, he was also shocked by the infiltration of Chaoxia by the reckless men of "Yan Huoluo".
The tiger talisman of the "Fengjia Army", the private seal of the prince and the troop transfer documents......
If it weren't for the prince's trusted henchmen, he wouldn't have been able to reach it at all, let alone make a fake imitation.
The commander also knew that the transfer documents were wrong, but his greatest advantage was loyalty and obedience, and he knew who he should really be loyal to.
"Luckily...... Thankfully, it was still in time......"
When the commander came to his senses, he found that the hot sweat on his forehead had wet his eyebrows and eyelids, and some of them had seeped into his sockets from the corners of his eyes.
The commander watched the soldiers take the order, and the commander gave another order.
“...... Send scouts to check the movements of Yan Huoluo's army...... Quietly, don't alarm them......"
If the "Yan Huoluo" army hoarded heavy troops against Licheng, there were traces of an ambush in secret......
Hehe, needless to say, that fake troop transfer document is the conspiracy of "Yan Huoluo".
The two bamboo leaves listened with relish and recorded the information.
The commander beckoned his henchman lieutenant to come over.
“...... Send a trustworthy person to send this matter to 'Xuan'an' as soon as possible and hand it over to the Holy Lord, so that the gangsters can't be allowed to take the lead. ”
Forged tokens were also collected as important evidence.
The adjutant general comprehended and guessed the commander-in-chief's concern.
"Is the marshal worried about this matter and going down to His Royal Highness the Prince?"
The commander said with a cold expression: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say who is going to kill birds with one stone." If the enemy's conspiracy succeeds, not to mention that you and I are all on the ground, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at least accused of 'intending to raise troops to usurp the throne' or 'colluding with foreign enemies', who can protect him? 'Feng Jiajun' will be questioned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be questioned, and Licheng will also fall into the hands of 'Yan Huoluo'...... It's really a vicious ploy. ”
After calculation, if the plan is successful, the one who benefits the most is "Yan Huoluo".
The commander pouted disdainfully.
The group of barbarians who drank blood from "Yan Huoluo" actually had such heart-warming means.
"By the way...... commander shouted to the lieutenant who was about to get up, "and then send someone to deliver a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Remind him to clean up the nails. ”
The spy actually became a henchman around the prince of a country......
I don't know which country it is.
The adjutant general hugged his fists and said, "The last general will take the order." ”
He got up and took a few steps back before turning, the scaly armor colliding with the saber at his waist.
No one in the tent noticed that the deputy general got up, two bamboo leaves jumped out from under the table legs and mixed out with the deputy general's armor skirt.
