Chapter 30 There was a plan
There was only one day left before the ion attack on the border, but Ning Zeqing suddenly fell ill and was bedridden in the tent, and he couldn't continue his journey.
Shi Shu ordered that the large number of troops in the army should enter the national border first, leaving behind hundreds of people such as a cadre of guards, a few soldiers and the prince's personal guards, and then march slowly with Ning Zeqing, and then set off after he recovered.
Qu Mingli's injuries have been healed in recent days, but sometimes he still suffers from dizziness. Yezi has been taking care of him by his side and making up for his mistakes.
The two of them were also happy when they saw that the distance was slowing down, and they could have more time to rest, but they hadn't seen Ning Zeqing since they stopped in place, and even Ban Fei didn't see them again, so they were puzzled, but they didn't dig deeper.
"General, you obviously didn't get sick, why did you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stop on the grounds of illness?" Ban Fei asked Ning Zeqing.
Ning Zeqing sat in front of the desk and flipped through the book at this time, without the slightest sign of serious illness: "The black sheep in the army, naturally we want to find them out." ”
Ban Fei was surprised and thought for a long time: "Are you referring to the real culprit behind the case of stealing the document account and Chai Jiaowei?" You mean these people are hiding among the rest of these soldiers, and there is more than one person? ”
"Of course, there is more than one person, if there is no helper, how to make the case leaky by yourself, and you can't find any traces. Besides, I'm afraid that there are more than these two things, and even the lack of weapons in the military tent is also their doing. ”
"Missing weapons? So the defect that Ah Li found during the inventory at that time did exist, not that he was dazzled? ”
"Of course it can't be such a coincidence."
Ban Fei said with relief: "I haven't seen you mention that incident again, I thought it was because you didn't believe Ah Li, and you were still a little worried." ”
"I don't believe him, but I don't think it's a coincidence."
Ban Fei continued to nod: "That's good, that's good." ”
"Also, you must not go out of your bills or talk to them these days."
Ban Fei wondered: "Why is this?" ”
Ning Zeqing glanced at him and continued to flip through the book: "If you go out and they ask you how the general is doing, how will you answer?" ”
"Naturally, I will tell them that the military doctor said that the general ......," Ban Fei said, his voice softened, and he stopped talking.
He himself knew that if people asked about him too much, he would not be able to hide it. At that time, if the lie is discovered, the general's plan will probably be in vain.
Ning Zeqing sighed deeply, Ban Fei's honesty is his advantage, but if he is in a high position, sometimes it will become a disadvantage. He took Ban Fei to see a lot of court battles, but he still couldn't learn how to use them.
"So what do we do next, are we going to stop here all the time? If they do it, only these people will protect them in the camp, and the safety of you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be guaranteed. ”
"I've already made arrangements for this, so I don't have to worry about it."
Ban Fei thought that he had already made arrangements, so he didn't ask any more.
At noon on the second day, Ning Zeqing came out of the account, but his face looked very pale. Everyone saw Ban Fei help him to the tent of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then Shi Shu ordered that General Ning would recover from his illness, and all the remaining soldiers would immediately set off and rush outside the border line before dark.
Qu Mingli and Ye Qi were talking while hurrying away.
"You say, what kind of illness did this General Ning have, he lay in the tent for two days and didn't come out, and asked the prince to order all the guards to stay with him?" Yazzy asked.
Qu Mingli sneered lightly: "Look at his usually pale face, it's not a sick person." Ban Fei told me that he already had a chronic illness, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to survive after being recruited abroad for so long this time. ”
"Don't you think he's a little weird right now?"
"What's strange?" Qu Mingli asked him.
"Look at the bag hanging around his waist," Ye Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to Ning Zeqing at the front of the team, "He never hung anything before, why did he suddenly hang it up?" ”
Qu Mingli took a closer look, and Ning Zeqing really had an extra pendant on his waist.
"Do you remember what the general said after the attack on the Japanese tent? I'm afraid that the thieves will find the important documents there, so I have to keep them all close to me......" Yazzy said inadvertently.
Qu Mingli hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around vigilantly, and found that no one heard, so he said to Yeqi: "Even if it is, it shouldn't be said." What if those thieves were among them? ”
Yazzy hurriedly shut up and apologized to him, making sure that no one around was unusual.
During the night, the army encamped fifty miles from the border of the attack.
Since there were only about 100 people in the army, the tents were set up in the middle of the main tent, spread out in all directions, and close to each other.
Ban Fei was guarding Ning Zeqing's side, preparing for the unexpected that might happen tonight, his face was full of uneasiness.
"General, will they definitely do it tonight?"
"Tomorrow we will be in the territory of Zi Xian, and then we will hand over to the army in the country, and if they want to do anything more, the risk will be much greater. So, tonight is the perfect time to get your hands dirty. ”
"But there are so few people in the army, I'm always afraid of accidents."
Ning Zeqing's eyes were deep, and there was a little calculation flowing in it: "The fewer the number of people, the better." If there are too many, I am afraid that they will not dare to do it. ”
Ban Fei saw that Ning Zeqing was so calm in the face of danger, and his heart was even more anxious, but he was helpless.
"Are you ready for the artillery battle you prepared?" Ning Zeqing asked him.
"Ready."
"When there is any movement in the camp, I will order him, and do not hesitate for half a minute."
Ban Fei nodded in confirmation.
At that time, most of the people in the tent had already slept, only Ning Zeqing was still lit with candles in the tent, and it was quiet as usual.
Four men in black were quietly approaching the tent, all holding glittering broadswords in their hands. They gestured to each other, and then broke into the tent together.
There is no one in the tent!
Oops!
Only then did they realize the plan and hurriedly ran out of the tent. As soon as he left the tent, he was surrounded by a group of people, who were the prince's personal guards.
The things in the camp must be the inner ghosts that appeared in the hundred tribe army that was levied later, and when the personal guards followed the prince for a long time, they naturally would not be suspicious, so they could use it with confidence.
After the thirty-member personal guard surrounded the four black-clothed people, Ning Zeqing and Shi Shucai appeared and walked in front of them.
"Who are you, and why are you disturbing the peace of the Hundred Clans Army?" Shi Shu reprimanded them loudly.
The four men did not answer their words, but only whistled in unison, and the sound resounded through the barracks.
At the same time, a cannon flew into the sky, and a large firework burst into the sky.
The four of them were dazzled when they saw the ascension, but their eyes were full of doubts, this was not arranged by them. But he didn't care so much, and turned around and fought with the thirty-man personal guard.
The guards, who had been asleep, were woken up by these noises, so they put on their coats and yawned and went out to look, but suddenly some men in black rushed out from the side, holding knives and taking them down.
Judging from the sky above the night, at this time, about 100 people came from the outside of the camp tent and killed the unarmed guards who were watching on the road one by one, and only rushed to the big tent!
