The Wang father and son came out of the barracks, got into the carriage and went all the way to the mansion.

"How can you contradict General Mu like this? Early yesterday morning, General Mu took the risk of transporting Chu'er's body back, and he had fulfilled his promise. In the future, the general has his own plans for the suppression of bandits, and it is your turn to interject. ”

"Father! However, the younger brother was brutally killed by horse thieves, and his bones were not cold. Now that the location of the thieves is known, Mu Yuan has led so many soldiers to go to encircle and suppress them. Now that the situation of horse thieves is getting more and more intense, I think he just wants to wait for the situation to get out of control, and then come forward to kill the thief and earn enough military merit. ”

"Nonsense! General Mu's name is so bad that you can call him out, the general will not be the person you think. Today, thanks to the general's failure to deal with you, otherwise trespassing in the army would be punished. ”

"Father! If you think about it, Mu Yuan went from the commander of the imperial guard to the general of Dingyuan, that is, because he made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits here ten years ago. But he said that he was the general of Dingyuan, and he only had the Mu family army formed by the soldiers who followed him to suppress the bandits, and most of the real military power was still held by the uncle of the country, the marquis of Xinjiaan. The emperor and the former queen have a deep relationship, and the prince is knowledgeable. The emperor relied heavily on the Xin family, and had no intention of dividing the military power among Mu Yuan. Now that the horse thief has made a comeback, it is a good time for Mu Yuan to make military merits again and use the excuse to share the military power. ”

"Dong'er, don't mention this again. Beware that the wall has ears, and even if the general doesn't care, the soldiers around him who support him will not spare you. Wang Ping listened to Wang Dong's analysis, and he felt that it was not all unreasonable, but General Mu looked like a straightforward person, could it be that the city government was too deep. Wang Ping's long-standing respect for General Mu couldn't help but be a little shaken.

"Boss, you're amazing. Sure enough, there was news from Lan Xiangcheng that Mu Yuan was here. Taozi took the note from the letter eagle's feet and opened it with a quick sweep.

Xin Ye suddenly understood in his heart, I am afraid that Mu Yuan had already led people to touch this stronghold that night.

"Boss, what's wrong. It can't be that we are exposed. Taozi saw that Xin Ye was silent, and he was a little panicked.

Xin Ye's eyes sank, but fortunately he had prepared in advance

"Taozi, how is the tunnel dug?"

"Boss, if we don't run away quickly, Mu Yuan will call after a while, what do you care about this tunnel?"

"Taozi, don't be in a hurry. They didn't enter the cave last time, and we don't know our strength yet, so we shouldn't act rashly. ”

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

"What will be counted. You continue to dig south with your brothers and find a higher position as an exit. Then send a letter to the brothers in the city, asking them to send this to Wang Dong. ”

"This? What do you do for Wang Dong?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Taozi scratched his head, he didn't understand the joints, but seeing that the boss was so calm, he just had to follow his instructions. So he turned around and prepared to go to grab a shovel and join the brothers who were digging the tunnel. It suddenly occurred to me that there was another thing in the letter.
