Chapter 175: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
In the evening of the same day, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of the barracks.
"Stop! Who? The guard immediately discovered this suspicious person, and quickly pulled out the shoulder knife on his body, and asked vigilantly.
"It doesn't matter who I am, go and report to General Ato, just say that I am from the second passage, and I have something important to report."
"This..."
"Time is urgent, don't go soon!"
Seeing this person's fierce eyes, the guard couldn't help but feel a little weak, and hurriedly turned around to ask for instructions, and after a while, he trotted over and said, "This lord, my general has an invitation." ”
In the temporary tent, General Atto sat alone in the middle, feeling a little strange, how could someone who claimed to have come from the second passage look for him, and now there was a death order from above, and the existence of this place could not be exposed unless it was absolutely necessary, who was so bold?
While thinking about these questions, his soldiers had already led the people in. I saw that this person was wearing a blue coarse cloth robe, with a black dark ribbon tied around his waist, and he was dressed as an ordinary civilian, but his face was handsome and extraordinary, his expression was handsome, and he had the temperament of a son. The man looked a little haughty, and did not show any respect for himself when he came in, much to the displeasure of General Ato.
"Who are you? What is the matter with General Ben? General Atto didn't give him a good look, but asked casually.
"I'm here to deliver a message, the national teacher has brought a batch of food, and you can go to the second passage tonight to answer it."
"What?" General Atto didn't calculate that it would be this kind of thing. But if you think about it carefully, what is the identity of the national teacher, how could he personally come to escort the food, and how did he know that he was short of food here? Thinking of this, General Atto couldn't help but wonder: "How could the national teacher come in person?" Isn't he attacking the Heavenly Seal City? ”
"Hmph, the national teacher calculated that there would be a shortage of food here for you, and he was worried that you would make a mistake, so he specially sent a batch. You don't understand the particularity of the No. 2 channel, and the national teacher naturally wants to escort it in person at night. This person not only had an arrogant expression, but also spoke in a more arrogant tone, as if he didn't bother to explain at all.
"Why didn't you send it from Passage 1? Wouldn't it be more convenient there? ”
"Huh? General, what does this mean? Hasn't the No. 1 passage collapsed a long time ago, how do you let the national teacher transport it? ”
"Hahaha, look at my old fool, how did I forget about this, and ask the special envoy to be strange. I don't know the special envoy's name? General Atto is worthy of being an old fritter, and seeing that his tentative behavior was exposed, he hurriedly hid the past.
"I'm just an unknown person around the national teacher, and I don't need to mention my name. Tonight's events are very important, you must go in person, the national teacher still has important things to explain. ”
"Oh? What is the matter? ”
"I don't know about this, I think it should be that the national teacher has a heavy responsibility to explain to the general, I guess it is related to the saintess who has just succeeded."
"Oh!" As soon as he heard this, General Atto was relieved, it was indeed a big deal for this saint to take office, and if the national teacher came in person because of this matter, he would have said it in the past. In fact, there is a crucial point, that is, the problem of food shortage is now getting worse, and there was almost a mess at dinner today.
"The news has arrived, and I'm going back to report it. By the way, remember to bring Mohd when the time comes, and the national teacher will also explain important things to him. ”
This person's last sentence can be regarded as completely dispelling General Ato's suspicions, and he can know about the collapse of the No. 1 passage, understand the importance of the saint's succession, and know that Mohd is here, and I am afraid that only the cronies around the national teacher will be able to know it.
"I'll send the envoy."
"No need, general." After the explanation, Brother Gongzi immediately chose to leave, and at this time, Mohd happened to come over.
"General, I heard that an envoy is coming?"
"Oh, Hall Master Mo, it just so happens that this is the envoy specially sent by the national teacher, I think you should know each other, right?" General Atto was busy briefing both sides.
When he heard that it was an envoy sent by the national teacher, Mohd was shocked at first, but looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, he suddenly became suspicious, he was also an old man beside the national teacher, but he had never seen this person, so he asked: "You... What's your name? Why have I never seen you? ”
"Hmph, Mohd, do you think anyone can know my identity? If it weren't for the urgency of the situation this time, do you think the national teacher would have sent me over? ”
The other party's answer was a little vague, Mohd was not good at judging, and then looked at it carefully, and suddenly said: "No, how do I feel that you are a little familiar again, it seems that you have met somewhere, have we known each other before?" ”
A trace of panic flashed on Brother Gongzi's face, but he immediately controlled it and replied: "We all work together under the national teacher on weekdays, so we will inevitably meet, but my identity is more secret." ”
"More secretive? Are you in charge of the six major factions ... ”
Mohd seemed to have guessed something, and as soon as he said something, he felt a little speechless, and quickly closed his mouth. Brother Gongzi's reaction at this time was extremely fast, and he hurriedly scolded: "Mohd, shut up!" Don't you understand what to say and what not to say? You don't know who I am, and if you want to be suspicious, you don't have to go tonight. When the time comes, the national teacher will blame it. Hum! You can carry it yourself! ”
The other party's scolding startled Mohd, and he said in fear: "Don't blame me, my lord, it's not that I'm suspicious by nature, but I have to do it." I think you also know that due to the unfavorable work before, the national teacher sent me here to reflect, if there is any mistake during this period, I will not be able to redeem even if I die. Therefore, we have to be cautious in everything, and I hope that adults will not blame you. ”
"I naturally know your affairs, and I shouldn't blame you for it, but you don't have to worry too much, I think the national teacher seems to want to reuse you this time, so I asked you to accompany General Ato. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity. ”
Mohd was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "That's great, thank you for informing me, and please say a few kind words in front of the national teacher when you go back, Mohd is grateful." ”
"Well, don't worry. Okay, it's not early, I'm going to go back to my life immediately, these big Wei dogs have been fighting hard enough recently, and someone needs to take care of them near the passage. Remember to arrive on time tonight, or military law will deal with you! ”
After the envoy had given some more advice, he took advantage of the darkness of the night and left without anyone noticing, and after leaving the barracks, he immediately disappeared into the woods not far away, as if he had never appeared.
