Chapter 77: The Truth About the Assassins
(a)
Thinking of Zhou Laosan, Wei Changfeng immediately glanced around. He was sure that Zhou Laosan's body was around.
Because this woman is worthy of Zhou Laosan to bear the great crime of assassinating Dutong on her behalf, Zhou Laosan will definitely not leave this woman's left and right in the battle, and he will do his best to protect her by her side. Since this woman is now seriously injured and unconscious here, how could Zhou Laosan leave this woman? Even if he is injured, he will never easily give up the protection of this woman, let alone let the soldiers watch around this woman, and now this woman is here without anyone to protect him, there can only be one reason: Zhou Laosan is dead.
This time, Wei Changfeng didn't guess wrong, just a few steps beside this woman, and turned Zhou Laosan's body upside down, but if he didn't deliberately look for it, it was difficult to find that it was Zhou Laosan's body, and it could only be the body of the Han soldier. Because Zhou Laosan was injured all over his body, most of one arm had been cut off, only a bit of flesh was left, the knife on his neck was deep to the bone, and the hand on the other arm had been broken at the wrist. It seems that in order to protect this woman, Zhou Laosan tried all his strength.
Wei Changfeng speculated that this woman was only afraid that Zhou Laosan was a lover or a sister, otherwise why would Zhou Laosan protect each other so desperately? It's just that even if this woman is Zhou Laosan's lover or sister, why did she want to assassinate Wei Changfeng?
He sighed, knowing that he was afraid that he would not understand this problem for a while, and seeing that the woman was seriously injured, he had to sprinkle all the hemostatic medicine in the medicine bag on the woman's wound first. This hemostatic medicine is extremely effective, but it is rare to obtain, so it is only carried by officers above the junior capital level, and below the general level, each general has only one copy. Wei Changfeng can't care about these now, so he can only save this woman first. sprinkled hemostatic medicine, the woman's wound stopped bleeding almost instantly, and seeing the woman's chest fall together, her breathing was still stable, Wei Changfeng was relieved. It's just that he only took a half breath, but suddenly his face turned red and his heart beat wildly.
He suddenly realized that he had just groped around a woman's chest, but that his eyes had been glued to the woman's bare chest.
Swore to the Heavenly Master, Wei Changfeng had absolutely no thoughts about it, his attention was completely on the woman's injury, but now that the woman's injury was stable, Wei Changfeng realized this problem. He hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped the woman's upper body, leaned over to pick up the woman, and was about to get on his horse, but he saw two things shining on the ground, which did not seem to be on the battlefield. He looked closely, but it was a pair of earrings.
Wei Changfeng recognized this earring, which was exactly what was found in his tent at the beginning, but only one was found at that time, but now it is a pair. Obviously, he returned the earrings to Zhou Laosan, and Zhou Laosan returned the earrings to the woman. Now, Wei Changfeng at least understood how this woman was not discovered by her fellow soldiers in the ranks.
In fact, this woman is afraid that she has already been discovered by the soldiers of the same army, and maybe even her enlistment is helped by these soldiers of the same army, with the protection of Zhou Laosan, it is conceivable that there is definitely more than one soldier who will protect her, but everyone helps this woman keep the secret. He couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the woman, and the soldier on the side tried to prove that the woman was mute, and that the reason why she did not bathe was because she was physically handicapped, and it seemed that the soldier knew that she was a woman. Of course, it would be right to say that she was physically handicapped, because it is true that a woman's body is different from a man's......
Wei Changfeng felt his face turn red again. He forcibly suppressed his thoughts, picked up the earrings from the ground, and put them in the woman's arms, but he didn't dare to touch the woman again for a while, he thought about it, first put them in his arms, carried the woman and turned over on the horse, and then, he almost fell off the horse.
Because he suddenly figured out a question: Why did Zhou Laosan admit that he wanted to kill Wei Changfeng? Because, Zhou Laosan never admitted that he wanted to kill Wei Changfeng, although Zhou Laosan did intend to accept it on behalf of this woman.
When Wei Changfeng took out the earrings as evidence and questioned Zhou Laosan, Zhou Laosan replied like this: "Lord Dutong is really powerful, you can guess that I killed you with just one earring." I have nothing to say in the next, I can only accept my fate, Lord Dutong, please put it to death. ”
At that time, Wei Changfeng heard that it was Zhou Laosan who was admitting that he was an assassin, but now, Wei Changfeng discovered the subtleties of these words.
"You can guess that I killed you with just one earring", here is not that he guessed correctly, right? Can this sentence be understood as satirizing Wei Changfeng's self-indulgent speculation? "I have nothing to say, I can only accept my fate", I have nothing to say, it is not equivalent to admitting that Wei Changfeng is right, "accepting fate" is not admitting guilt, is it? This Zhou Laosan actually had something to say, and he refused to admit that he assassinated Wei Changfeng against his will, and he refused to betray this woman, so he said such strange things. As for why he refused to admit to assassinating Wei Changfeng against his will, the reason can be guessed, because Zhou Laosan said that Wei Changfeng would give his silver taels to the refugees, Zhou Laosan is still very grateful, since he is grateful, how can he be willing to admit this crime of assassinating the Han army general that he has never done at all? What I don't know now is who this woman is from Zhou Laosan? Why did Zhou Laosan fight so hard to cover this woman? Why did this woman enlist in the army? Why did you assassinate Wei Changfeng?
(2) It's just that these things can only be put aside for a while, and what matters now is to find a place where no one is there as soon as possible, and the doctor will treat this woman alone.
Wei Changfeng gently pinched the horse's belly and went to Xingcheng.
Half an hour later, Bai got up and went to Wei Changfeng's tent.
He had to ask Wei Changfeng what was wrong.
He met with General Fang, and talked in detail about how Wei Changfeng highlighted the trick to attract the enemy, and how he defeated the enemy's iron cavalry, and of course, he also whispered about the sword. According to General Fang's intentions, Wei Changfeng should be recruited and rewarded in person first, and then this merit must be at least upgraded by one level. But Bai Qi has been reported, Wei Changfeng did not carry out his orders well, only to the back of the command for a while with a wounded soldier back to Xingcheng, what is even more surprising is that Wei Changfeng returned to Xingcheng and carried the wounded soldier to his tent, and summoned the doctor into the account, but except for the doctor, no one else is allowed to enter the account, and Wei Changfeng did not come out, just kept asking people to send all kinds of things to the tent, what clothes, sweat towels, water, etc., he came out of the tent and took things into the tent, as for what he did, No one knew about the Dao - of course, this did not include the private speculation of the soldiers who knew about it.
Bai Qi had to tell the first lie of his life: Wei Dutong was busy directing the rescue of wounded soldiers.
General Fang understood very well, and only instructed Wei Changfeng to come to report as soon as he was done. It is said that this matter should have been prevaricated first, but unexpectedly, General Zhu sent someone, saying that he had arrived fifty miles away from Xingcheng and asked several generals to join him - yes, it was fifty miles, although more than an hour ago, when the Donghu army was still resisting the attack of Bai Qi and General Fang, the Zhuzi banner had already come into view.
Because the banner was false, only 100 cavalrymen accepted General Fang's order at that time, and they approached quickly in a circle, waving General Zhu's banner. I believe that if the commander of Donghu, Xiaoxian Wang Urian, knew about this matter, he was afraid that he would faint on the spot. Because if it weren't for the approach of this banner, Urian would not have given the order to break through, and the Donghu army would not have collapsed completely. I have to say that this time, the first credit should be General Fang's.
But at this time, since General Zhu sent an order for everyone to converge, of course it must be carried out, and since General Fang wanted to commend Wei Changfeng, he naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, so he ordered Bai Qi to arrange people to replace Wei Changfeng, and to take Wei Changfeng to see General Zhu together.
Bai Qi had to hurry back to Xingcheng. He didn't believe that Wei Changfeng would make such a strange move because of a soldier, and Wei Changfeng didn't say that he had any relatives in the army, this matter was really strange, and he had to ask Wei Changfeng what was going on.
When Bai got up and went to Wei Changfeng's tent, he happened to meet Wei Changfeng probing out of the tent: "Come on, get some more water!" He cried out with a muddy, wet towel in his hand.
"Wei Dutong." Bai Qi shouted and said no more, he believed that Wei Changfeng understood what he meant.
Wei Changfeng let out a sigh of relief.
It's white. He took the water handed by the soldier and replied, "Brother Bai, you are here." ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi and the soldier were stunned.
It was the first time that the soldier heard Wei Dutong call General Bai Shen "Brother Bai", and Bai Qi was also the first time he heard Wei Changfeng call him "Brother Bai" in front of people.
"Wei Dutong, let's go into the tent and talk." Bai Qi said, and said "Wei Dutong" again, reminding Wei Changfeng: There are soldiers here.
Wei Changfeng didn't give way, on the contrary, his body moved slightly, but blocked the door: "Brother Bai, it's not very convenient in the tent now." ”
The soldier froze there.
A small commander said to the general that his tent was "not very convenient!" "What is this? Want to mutiny?
Bai Qi immediately realized that Wei Changfeng was in big trouble now.
First, Wei Changfeng would not block the door for no reason and not let him in, second, Wei Changfeng would never call him Brother Bai in front of the soldiers, because Wei Changfeng had already said it twice, and third, not carrying out the general's order to command and rescue the wounded soldiers and returning to Xingcheng from the battlefield without authorization This kind of thing will never be done by Wei Changfeng at will, and it will not be done by any general.
Bai Qi immediately took two steps back, waved his hand to drive away the soldier who was standing on the side, swept his eyes around, and saw that there was no one else in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei Xian, what's wrong?" ”
Wei Changfeng's heart was moved.
That's what a good brother is. Only such a brother knows how embarrassed he is now, and the sentence "Brother Wei Xian" is telling Wei Changfeng: You are my brother, if there is anything, I will help you!
Wei Changfeng sighed lightly, he could only explain everything to Bai Qi, now, only Bai Qi can help him, and only Bai Qi can keep the secret in this matter, or if he can't even help Bai Qi, he really can't help him.
