The barracks outside Dai County are now overcrowded.

Of course, not inside the barracks, but outside the barracks.

In fact, in the past few days, not only is the city depressed, but also outside the city is inaccessible, whether it is in the fields, or on the straight official road, it is rare to see one or two people, and the chariots and horses and merchants who came in the past have also taken a detour.

Only the spies of the major families will act cautiously and probe the changes around them.

But at this time, the jungle outside the barracks was full of people, so that the spies who usually explored here looked at the figures, and they were a little confused in their minds, not knowing what happened all of a sudden.

At the same time, in front of the gate of the barracks, the spokesmen and helmsmen of several major families were negotiating with the soldiers and generals guarding the gate of the barracks.

Around them was a guard in charge of escorting, and these guards were even more numerous, blocking most of the camp gates.

So when Gu En and his party arrived, they saw such a scene, and when they came to the camp gate, the soldiers guarding the gate couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to let people inform Ran Zhan.

"So many people from the family are here, then at least one thing is explained, that is, the victory is definitely not an expedient measure to calm people's hearts, it is not a lie, but a true thing, otherwise it will deceive so many families at once, even if it is too guarded, it will not be able to withstand the backlash, and its reputation and reputation will be ruined!"

After greeting Zhu Liu, Wang Huo and others, Lu Jian and the others came to a place on the edge of the camp gate, and whispered in a low voice: "There are few people outside the city these days, but it is generally calm and stable, but there are always hidden dangers, if a Hu cavalry comes, there will be chaos, and as a result, these family leaders also came in person, it must have obtained accurate news and came to verify, so it seems that our expectations are really biased." ”

"It's your prediction," Zhang Jingsheng laughed, "I have always thought that Chen Taishou is prepared......" He glanced at Gu En, whose face was flushed, and his words did not stop, "Be prepared before the war, otherwise how to explain the current situation?" I think that this solicitation of Wu Ding may be a cover-up to make the enemy negligent. ”

Lu Jian and Gu En were speechless for a moment, while Wang Kuai was thoughtful, but Na Luo Yang had a complicated expression.

"If the Xianbei people are really defeated, then we will have to reassess the situation," Lu Jian could still calmly analyze the situation, "At least the situation in Daixian will change, and the original tense situation will be eased, so we don't have to leave in such a hurry." As soon as he said that, everyone else nodded except for Gu En.

At this time, not only Zhang Jingsheng and a few of them came here, but almost all the visitors from the south who stayed in Dai County and did not go back gathered here.

While he was talking, Ran Zhan had already walked out of the camp gate.

As soon as they saw his figure, everyone outside this door muttered in their hearts, knowing that they wanted to enter the barracks, I am afraid it would be difficult to do so, and at present, in this generation of counties, who does not know Ran Zhan's notoriety? Since he arrested the Zheng family, he has been classified as Chen Zhi's lackeys, and he is the kind of vicious person who has no scruples and comes from a despicable background.

There is a faint consensus among the families in the city, that is, they can negotiate with Chen Zhi's subordinates, and they can still be reasonable most of the time, but only this Ran Zhan has a big problem in communication, and it is almost difficult to make sense, because his person is completely based on Chen Zhi's order as the highest order, and the words of others will not affect him in the slightest.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Ran Zhan still showed a little smile on his young face, although he was still a little young, but when facing the many masters of the family present, he no longer had any timidity, "Tai Shou's previous words, didn't he understand enough?" The barracks are important, it is related to the safety of Dai County, and it is also related to your life, and now there are Hu people in the north, I heard that it has been fought, at this time, you say, how can you enter and exit casually? In case some gangsters get in and collude with the Hu people inside and out, and the situation is ruined, who can afford this responsibility? ”

As soon as everyone heard him mention Taishou, they knew that it was an old routine again, and it didn't make sense.

But Liu Frame of the Liu family still tried to speak: "Ran Zhan, what you said has some truth, but isn't the situation different now?" We have to see the soldiers to feel at ease. ”

"What's not to worry about? Is the Hu people killed, or is your Liu family besieged? Ran Zhan glanced at Liu Huan, his face showing disdain, "You can't sit still for such a trivial matter?" How can you be a speaker of a big family? ”

Liu Frame was choked by these words, and immediately became angry and wanted to reprimand.

Unexpectedly, Ran Zhan followed and said simply: "You better go back, the martial arts practice in this barracks, and you can't be idle for a moment, and you don't have much to look at when you go in, why bother?" Isn't your big family seeking a safe inheritance, a safe and stable inheritance, you can get through the difficulties while sitting at home, the land rent is collected, the poems are written, and the caravan is followed, what is more comfortable than this? I really don't understand, there is such a good thing to put away, why do you have to toss? ”

Liu Frame opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to say, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "We must confirm that the good news of the city is right." ”

"This is not a good news for the imperial court!" Ran Zhan obviously knew some of the good news in the frontier, and immediately pointed to the point, "What reason does Taishou have to fake?" Who did he fake it for? You? The city besieged by the Xianbei people is just to the north, is it true, and after a while, you will naturally know, what is there to worry about? Okay, it's useless for me to tell you this, please go back, the barracks are not for you to enter, at least not today. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "You are so suspicious, how dare you come here easily?" This is the barracks, as long as those Hu people are not stupid, they will definitely send people to investigate, and when they see you gentlemen of the family, if you move your brains and think about looting one or two, then there will be a good show, if I am you, I will return to the city now, close the door, and wait for news. ”

Liu Frame gritted his teeth, frowned, but also understood that this situation was not something he could control, glanced at the others, and saw that they all had the intention of retreating, and Ran Zhan's words were insulting and sarcastic, but the truth in it was not out of nowhere, they gathered together, there is indeed danger, if the battle report is fake, and the Xianbei people are not defeated, it may attack at any time, of course it is not safe outside the city, even if the Xianbei people are defeated, the remnants of the army are scattered like Yong, and Daixian is close at hand, and it may be affected.

Not to mention, it is rumored that Zhongdai County has also infiltrated a Xianbei army.

As if to see through everyone's thoughts, Ran Zhan then said: "I forgot to tell you a piece of news, this news was also sent just now, someone found a few scouts in the forest in the north, judging from the costume, there was no doubt about the Huns at that time, I advise you, or return as soon as possible, if it is really the Huns, then there is no time to waste." ”

"Traces of the Huns?"

As soon as he heard the news, the leaders of the group immediately became a spirit, and Liu Huan didn't say much, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Lu Jian and Gu En didn't care about the investigation, and they also had to leave, but they didn't expect to be stopped by Ran Zhan before they could leave-

"A few gentlemen, please go slowly, my family is too obedient, if you come, please enter the camp, I have something to discuss with you."

"Talk to us?" Lu Jian and the others stopped, looking at Ran Zhan with surprise on their faces, this Chen Zhi's number one dog-legged man, just now he was serious, half threatening, half consoling to prevent the people of the family from entering, and he took the initiative to invite Gu En and others into the camp, which inevitably made them puzzled.

But Ran Zhan didn't mean to explain, and Lu Jian and the others wouldn't stop going in because of this, so after a short period of thought, they followed Ran Zhan and walked to the barracks together.

When he was walking, Lu Jian asked seemingly unintentionally: "I don't know the news of the Hun scouts......

"It's true," without waiting for the other person to finish asking, Ran Zhan took the initiative to respond: "There are soldiers in the camp, even if the Huns attack, don't worry about safety." As he spoke, he looked at Lu Jian.

Lu Jian shook his head with a smile: "I'm not worried about this, it's just that if Xianbei is broken, the Huns may know the difficulty and retreat." ”

"What the Huns think, I don't know." Ran Zhan shook his head and said no more.

Seeing that he didn't mean to speak again, Lu Jian didn't ask, but looked at the scene in the barracks like everyone else.

The layout of the Wuding barracks, they are not unfamiliar, after all, they have been here when they practiced martial arts on the battlefield, and they have observed it intermittently in the future, but since the camp has become more and more tightly guarded, it has become more and more difficult for others to step into it, so now when I look at it, there is a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness, especially when I see those soldiers who are conducting queue drills, this feeling is even stronger.

"Some of these soldiers, walking in line, are not as neat as they used to be."

Gu En observed for a while, said such a sentence, and at the same time glanced at Lu Jian, knowing in his heart, the original guess seemed to be confirmed.

However, they didn't have much time to communicate, so they were taken directly to the innermost tent, but it was not Chen Zhi who was waiting for them here, but Chen Zhi's clan brother Chen Zi.

"Gentlemen, please be seated." When Chen Zi saw everyone, he first beckoned them to sit down, and then took out a lot of letters and put them on the table in front of him, "This is your family letter, because of the war situation, the post is strictly controlled, and the communication is understood, so it was not directly delivered to you, but came here first." ”

Waiting for everyone to get the letter one by one, Lu Jian asked bluntly: "Chen Jun, you asked us to come over just to give me this letter?" ”

Chen Zi said with a smile: "Of course it's not only that, you read the letter first, and then I'll tell you, in fact, there is also news coming in the past few days, it is about the battle of Thorn City in the Northeast, the offensive of the coalition army is not smooth, and I think your family letter is also related to this matter." ”
