Chapter 58 The Eagle

The Hun army gradually withdrew like waves, Lu Zhao wiped the sweat on his forehead and let out a sigh, he turned his head There were bursts of exclamations from the city tower, but Cao Xianye, who was standing in the center, looked at Lu Zhao with a solemn face.

The city gate opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out and surrounded Lu Zhao, and before the young man could say the first half of his sentence, they dragged him by arms and legs and threw him into the air.

For a while, Lu Zhao was surrounded by everyone, and Yu Zhan on the side stared at such a scene, although he was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but think of what Ge Tianyuan said.

She is right, as long as she is by Lu Zhao's side, no matter how good she is, she may always be just a foil, no one will remember the warriors next to the hero, they are just foils.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, put people down." Cao Tianque shouted loudly, and when those soldiers heard this, they all got out of the way, Cao Tianque walked up to Lu Zhao and patted him on the shoulder approvingly: "This time I did a good job, but it was too risky, I can't do it in the future, you know?" ”

Lu Zhao nodded, indeed his actions this time were all his inferences, and he didn't expect that he really hit the target.

Seeing that Lu Zhao was a little excited, Cao Tianque squeezed his shoulders and gave him a look, Lu Zhao looked over, only to see Cao Xianye coming down from the city tower at some point, and he was standing at the gate of the city at the moment, his expression was solemn, and he was almost dripping water.

Seeing this, Lu Zhao hurriedly bypassed Cao Tianque and walked through the crowd to Cao Xianye: "My subordinates also asked General Cao to give him his guilt." ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be dumbfounded, in their eyes, what Lu Zhao did was a heroic act, why did he still ask for guilt?

Seeing Lu Zhao's words, Cao Xianye's gloomy look on his face eased slightly, he cleared his throat and looked at Lu Zhao in front of him and asked lightly, "What are you guilty of?" ”

"Lu Zhao's reckless move, there are three crimes, the two armies boasted of Haikou in front of the formation, it is the following offense, the general asked me what I thought, I didn't say it but didn't report it, today's battle for the permission of the winner will be allowed to rush forward, it is a child's play military order, so I hope the general will give the guilt!"

The young man in front of him knelt on the ground and buried his head deeply, Cao Xianye saw that although he was a little surprised, it was not unreasonable, he sighed and then said sharply: "Then you are guilty?" ”

"Subordinate convicted."

"How will Ben punish you without complaining?"

"No complaints!" Lu Zhao's answer was categorical, and the originally extremely joyful scene became solemn in an instant, and everyone stared at the two people in front of them, not knowing how Cao Xianye, who had always been strict, would punish Lu Zhao.

Cao Xianye pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Although Lu Zhao's move is to repel the enemy army, there are rules in my camp, and those who disobey military orders should be beheaded!" However, our army has a clear reward and punishment, thinking that you have made meritorious contributions to repelling the enemy army this time, the death penalty can be avoided but the living crime cannot be escaped, and the old man punished you with twenty military staffs, do you have any complaints? ”

Hearing the twenty military staff, everyone couldn't help but gasp, this military staff is about a palm wide, and the toughness is extremely strong, if it is hit on the body without hitting the flesh and bones, I am afraid that the skin will be open and the flesh will not be able to go to the ground for several months.

Seeing this, Cao Tianque wanted to ask for mercy, after all, Lu Zhao was released by him, and he agreed to such a way of fighting, but what Cheng thought Cao Xianye added: "Remember, you must not hurt our heroes when you are punished, the old man still has something to ask him for advice, just make a show." ”

Hearing Cao Xianye's words, the atmosphere became jubilant again, Lu Zhao was lifted up and carried to the camp by several young people, they tied Lu Zhao to the stone bench, picked up the military staff symbolized a few dozen strokes, and then put him down with a smile.

Lu Zhao didn't dare to be lazy, and after being put down, he hurriedly came to Cao Xianye and knelt down: "Dare to ask what the general wants his subordinates to say?" ”

Cao Xianye nodded: "The old man wants to know how you came up with the idea of using this move to repel the Ge Tianyu, and what is the situation of that falcon and where did it come from?" ”

"yes, yes, let's talk about it, we all want to know." All the soldiers sat on the ground and coaxed, and Lu Zhao took a deep breath: "Since this is the case, then Lu Zhao will talk about the reason for this matter." ”

It turned out that when the girl who was chased by the Huns found Lu Zhao that day, Lu Zhao felt that something was wrong, and he happened to find Yu Zhan at that time, thinking about why he fainted, and this girl happened to appear.

And at that time, Lu Zhao was only one person, although he had the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps as an archer, but the scene was indeed a little powerless at that time, but it was more coincidental that the soldiers led by Cao Tianque happened to kill from one side and control the situation.

Lu Zhao is a person who doesn't believe in coincidences, Lu Zhao's master once said to him that there must be a clue when something happens, so he silently observed the girl.

The girl was slender and beautiful, and there was no resemblance to the Hun women he had seen, and when Lu Zhao felt that he might be too careful, he found some clues.

This woman's right wrist seems to have worn some kind of jewelry with shallow traces, this is not a bracelet or other accessories, because it is more wide, so Lu Zhao judged that this woman's wrist should have worn some kind of very wide jewelry, and it is rumored that Ge Tianyuan's wrist has a delicate gold ring.

So almost from the moment he saw that trace, Lu Zhao began to doubt the true identity of the woman.

"Then why didn't you say that?" Cao Tianque on the side looked a little stunned, and Lu Zhao waved his hand at him: "Please don't get excited, all this is just Lu Zhao's conjecture, and the general was kind enough to take this woman in at that time." ”

Cao Xianye glanced at Cao Tianque when he heard this, but did not speak.

Lu Zhao continued to tell everyone that when he began to determine that there was something wrong with this woman, it was probably the day the Xiongnu envoy was assassinated.

Although the Cao camp is simple but well guarded, it is impossible for anyone to invade at all, and the death of the Xiongnu envoy is very likely to be committed by people in the camp, but who exactly is still to be discussed.

Although Lu Zhao is not familiar with everyone in this camp, he can basically recognize seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, if he can kill people in that way, there should be no more than ten people in this camp, but among these ten people, it is really unlikely that he is most of them, most of them are cronies of the Cao family, and the rest is only Yu Zhan and himself.

Although Yu Zhan's knife technique was accurate and ingenious, it was not suitable for the scimitar commonly used by the Xiongnu, so it was very likely that the person who killed the Xiongnu envoy was that woman.

But all this is still Lu Zhao's speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the murderer is the woman, because they have not found bloody clothes or who has blood stains on their bodies in the entire camp, so he cannot clearly make such a conclusion.

Speaking of this place, everyone couldn't help but be a little bored, because what Lu Zhao said had always been his own thoughts about the abnormality of the woman and the death of the messenger.

Finally, a man seemed to be unable to sit still, and he raised his hand: "Then I want to ask, how did you judge the falcon?" ”

Lu Zhao smiled slightly: "Good question, I happened to be about to talk about this." Dare to ask if anyone saw a goshawk flying over the barracks on the day the girl left. ”

Everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and some voices of discussion paper came from the side, and it was clear that they were not the only ones who saw the goshawk that day, but also others.

So what does that mean? Isn't it just an eagle, isn't that unusual? It was Yu Zhan who said this, although he seemed to be unfazed on the surface, but when he saw Lu Zhao like this, he was a little indignant in his heart.

"Not unusual, you were beside me, and you should remember that I shot an arrow into the sky, but that arrow did not knock the goshawk down."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, they all knew what Lu Zhao meant when he said this.
