Chapter Fifty-Eight: Exploring Zhao Ying at Night

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The military camp of the Zhao army has indeed been very quiet in the past two days, since the main general Li Yan was injured by the secret arrow of the Zhongshan army, many soldiers are also talking about whether Li Yan has passed away. However, this argument was quickly put to rest.

First of all, some soldiers saw Li Yan's personal soldiers helping him to walk around the ground, although his actions were a little inconvenient, but he could still afford to hold a weapon and play twice. The appearance of this kind of rumor made the entire Zhao army breathe a sigh of relief, after all, as long as the main general is in general, the military camp will not disperse, and it is possible to continue to win.

Soon, however, the whole barracks seemed forbidden to talk about the question of the general's injury, and the military judge gave an order that anyone who discussed the question of the commander should be given fifty rods. Some of the soldiers were caught by the military judge and executed on the spot, leaving no room for negotiation. Even a lieutenant in Li Yan's army was ordered to be reprimanded and demoted to one level because he was talking about Li Yan's situation behind his back. All Zhao Jun was suddenly silent, and many people were speculating, could it be that Li Yan's condition had recurred?

"Well, did you hear that?" Two patrolling soldiers walked outside the fence, and the slightly thinner one couldn't help but ask the other.

"What?" The other one held the torch and looked seriously at the direction of the shangsai, so close to the other party, no one could say whether there would be a night attack.

"What else could it be? It's about General Lee. I'll tell you... Whoa..."The thin man didn't finish speaking, and no one else covered his mouth. He looked around cautiously, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "You're crazy, talk about this." I don't know if this matter is a secret, who said who is finished! ā€

The thin man broke free of his hand and whispered, "I know, isn't it just the two of us!" There is no one around, what are you afraid of! ā€

When the man heard this, he said the same thing. However, he still cautiously grasped the weapon, carefully looked around and around, and then said: "That's what I said, but I also have to pay attention." When someone found out, our brothers were scrapped. ā€

"Alright, alright, I know. Mainly, I have something on my mind, and I can't hold it back. ā€

After hearing this, the soldier asked suspiciously, "What did you see??" ā€

Now it was the turn of the thinner soldier to be silent. Like the soldier just now, he cautiously looked around, back and forth, and finally felt uneasy, and every time he wanted to speak, he stopped talking.

"No, do you even say it?" Now, it's the other party's turn to be irritable.

"Okay, I say, I say." The thinner soldier thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly: "That's the case, I passed by our general's tent today, and occasionally saw something strange in the tent, so I think it's better to talk about this matter and see it in detail." ā€

"What do you see?" The other party was obviously also interested in him.

The thin man was silent for a moment and said, "Spirit card!" ā€

"Spirit cards? What is it. Obviously, he didn't understand what the thin man meant.

"The spirit card is the spirit position! A sign for the dead! ā€

"Ahh Hearing the thin man's words, the soldier couldn't help but scream. Frightened, the thin man hurriedly covered his mouth so as not to attract the attention of others. Fortunately, the two were patrolling the perimeter, and there was no one around, so it didn't cause a riot.

At the same time, there was a strange noise in the grass not far from the two. The two looked at each other, clenched the weapons in their hands, and slowly walked towards the grass. The torches lit up brightly, illuminating the surroundings of the two of them as if it were daylight. Just as they approached, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of the grass, glared at them, made a "meow" sound, and ran into the darkness.

This time, it can frighten the two of them. "Damn wild cat, let Lao Tzu see you again, I have to eat you." The thin man is fierce.

"It's scary." Another said, "Especially when you said that you were looking at a spiritual position, it scared the hell out of me. ā€

"It's true." The thin man said, "I did see the spiritual table, although I don't know what was written on it, but I saw a man lying in the center of the tent. Kneeling around, except for General Li, the rest of the generals arrived. ā€

After the thin man finished speaking, the soldier next to him said, "Are you sure?" No General Lee? ā€

"Of course, can I not know General Li? I looked and looked, but in the end I didn't find General Lee. I really regret that I don't know how to read, otherwise I would have known what was written on the spiritual table. ā€

"It's weird. In addition to General Li, is there anyone in our army who can afford such a ceremony than him? ā€

"Who wouldn't say that. If it were the generals of other battalions, they would never come to us. The thin man said.

"That's right." Another soldier said, suddenly, he came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Could it be that General Li has..."

They, he didn't say, but both knew what it meant. The thin man said worriedly: "That's why I told you, alas, don't leak it to me." Otherwise, when the time comes, I will be convicted of disturbing the morale of the army, and I will be beheaded. ā€

"Don't worry, I see." He said, "I'm just worried, General Li is no longer here, what are we still doing here?" ā€

"Who knows. It may be that he is waiting for a new general to preside over the army. He said. Forget it, you and I don't talk nonsense, let's go back after the night patrol is over. ā€

As they spoke, they turned and walked towards the barracks.

However, they didn't notice that not far from them, a group of men in black were lurking there, hearing what they were saying.

"It seems that the other party's commander is indeed dead." In the grass, a man said to a man in armor next to him, who was not wearing a night suit and was clearly the commander of the operation.

"Even so, I didn't see the result, so I left rashly, and I couldn't explain it when I went back." The man said, "Let's go with our plan." ā€

"Okay." Saying that, he took the lead, jumped out of the grass first, said "follow me", and about six people jumped out behind him, heading towards the Zhao army camp and discrediting the advance. The person in command watched him gradually approach the Zhao army camp, and also said behind him: "Let's go too." Then he turned and went to another place.

The conspiracy unfolded quietly.

After a while, the Zhao army camp suddenly burst into flames, and the grass hut located in the east of the camp suddenly burst into flames. The sound of "walking the water, walking the water" came and went in the camp, and many soldiers who had just fallen asleep heard the fire and hurriedly got up to put out the fire. Even the soldiers on patrol joined the ranks of firefighting, and suddenly, the entire Zhao army camp fell into chaos.

In the northwest of the Zhao camp, a tent with bright candles is here, and here is the big tent of Li Yan, the chief general of the Zhao army.

In the center of the big tent, a white silk covered a straw mat, and a person was obviously dragging on the straw mat, but at the moment the figure was covered by the white silk, and no one knew who was lying down.

On both sides of the straw mat, kneeling down these eight captains, except for one captain who led the team away a few days ago, the rest of the people are here. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were grenades in this era, then the command system of the Zhao army would have been completely destroyed.

Several people looked at the straw mat with solemn faces, kneeling there, not knowing what to think again. The first person is Li Yan's general, and he can be said to be Li Yan's most trusted general. The first person kneeling down at this moment, it is obvious that he is the one who is in charge of the overall situation here.

He glanced at the spiritual seat in front of him, and then at the straw mat under the spiritual seat, and his mind was spinning, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, the sound of "walking water" outside the tent came in, he raised his head, and quickly exchanged a look with the other captains who were looking at him, and was about to call someone to ask, but saw that the curtain of the big tent was lifted in a corner, and the cold wind brought in made the candlelight in the tent tremble. He was about to scold the visitor, but when he saw the person who came, he trembled and said, "Report... Report... Captain, forage shed... Forage shed... Walk the water! ā€

"What's going on?"

"No... I don't know. He never dared to look up, and said in a trembling voice.

"Bastard." He scolded, turned to the other captain and said, "Captain Zhao, please go out and preside over the overall situation, the fire must be saved, and you must also beware of the enemy's sneak attack." ā€

"Yes." As he spoke, the lieutenant surnamed Zhao hugged his fists, turned around and left the big tent.

Seeing that Captain Zhao had left just now, the soldier also got up and prepared to leave the big tent. As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone shout, "You stay." ā€

When the soldier heard this, he was stunned, then reacted and turned around and lay on the ground. At this time, Captain Li had already walked in front of him, and looking at this soldier, he said slowly: "Raise your head." ā€

When the soldier heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but he slowly raised his head, looking at the older lieutenant in front of him, not knowing what he was going to do, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Which battalion are you from?" Captain Li asked slowly.

"Under the marker is... It's—" He slurred, but he couldn't speak.

"What is it? Say it! ā€

"Yes.. Be.. Yes.., marked below... It's new. ā€

"New here?" Captain Li sneered, "The new soldier also needs to know which lieutenant he is." You name it. He pointed to the lieutenants behind him and said, "Which lieutenant's subordinate are you?" ā€

The soldier's face was bloodless, and he looked up at several lieutenants in the tent, and looked at it again and again, but still did not move.

"Say!" Captain Li said sharply.

The soldier shuddered at his blow, and suddenly felt a chill in his arm, and an object fell from his cuff and fell to the ground, making a crisp metal crashing sound.

When everyone heard the sound, they all looked over, only to see that a short blade fell to the ground, and everyone was shocked, only to hear Captain Li say loudly: "You are a spy of the Zhongshan people." ā€

Seeing that his identity was exposed, the soldier no longer hid it, and while everyone was stunned, he picked up a short blade and stabbed it towards Captain Li. Captain Li was too close, and it was naturally too late to dodge, only to see him kick out, hitting the opponent's wrist.

The soldier's wrist hurt, and he knew that if he didn't run away, his life would be in danger. Quickly turned around and ran out of the tent. The rest of the people wanted to chase him, but they couldn't catch up, so they could only watch him disappear into the vast night.
