Chapter 524: The Inner Thief

Changning's eyelids drooped slightly, blocking the look in his eyes.

General Shan couldn't understand it, so he asked directly: "I listened to what the beast meant, the young master knows, what's going on?" ”

He and Song Cheng also worked under the same big tent and had a good relationship.

At that time, Song Cheng was a vanguard general under the command of the old general, like General Liu, he rushed to kill bravely, and he was a fierce general.

But the situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, and no one expected that Song Cheng would die because of saving General Liu.

Although there was life and death on the battlefield, the whole camp was still vegetarian because of Song Quan's death at that time, and General Liu even married his only daughter to General Song's only son to repay the grace of saving his life.

This matter is well known, but listening to Song Yisheng himself today, it is different.

Is there anything else going on?

General Shan's question was like poking a knife in Changning's heart.

Song Quan's death.

Now all the evidence shows that Song Quan's death was not an accident, but that the Liu family was pulling out the nails that the emperor had planted in the Xiliu camp.

So Song Yisheng's hatred is not unreasonable.

But how did Changning say this.

She saw with her own eyes the evidence handed over by Song Quan, and saw with her own eyes the willow leaf talisman of the Liu family and the letters of the Turks.

But she still couldn't speak.

She couldn't connect the old grandfather who was loyal and patriotic, who sacrificed the lives of his four sons to fight the Turks, with the rebel thief.

"You believe the words of this beast." Xue Yan suddenly spoke.

More than two dozen people nodded their heads.

"This is clearly a frame-up, the old general has been brave and loyal all his life, if it weren't for the faint monarch and the ministers, how could he be detained with this kind of hat!"

"Yes!"

The crowd was furious, and they couldn't wait to find Song Yisheng and peel off the skin and bones to vent the hatred in their hearts.

Changning's eyes moved.

"Hurry up and get out of here, where's the map?"

Xue Yan immediately took out the map: "Young master, I'm just afraid that I've heard something on the land, and we people don't have the weapons to take advantage of, once we are discovered, it will be difficult to get out, according to me, let's take the waterway south." ”

He fingered little by little on the map.

"Follow this road to board a boat at the ferry port of the Xiaowei River, transfer to the big boat at the Weishui crossing, all the way to the east, and when we get out of the boundary of Yongzhou, we can adapt to the situation."

Changning looked at him and nodded approvingly: "This is a good idea." ”

Xue Yan touched Changning's gaze and dodged slightly shyly.

Changning smiled slightly and swept over everyone: "It's decided, let's go east first." ”

It was already dark, and the people climbed through the mountains and forests to find the dirt road leading to the ferry.

Everything seems to be going well.

"This is the fork in the road between the southbound and the eastward crossing," Changning paused at the fork in the dirt road.

Xue Yan was stunned: "Yes, go straight for about five miles to the small ferry, let's go quickly, we can get there after dark." ”

Changning nodded.

"Is there anything wrong with the young master?" Xue Yan asked tentatively.

"I'm wondering, since the other party guessed that we were going south, obviously knowing our purpose, would they have set up a heavy army at the ferry?"

"This ......" Xue Yan's face changed slightly.

Changning didn't give him a chance to say more: "Change the route and take the land route." ”

Xue Yan was still reacting, and Changning had already taken the lead in leading the team on the southbound road.

General Shan and others naturally followed.

"Young master!" Xue Yan was already at the end of the line when he reacted, and subconsciously shouted.

Changning raised his eyebrows and looked back.

Xue Yan's face was slightly red, and he trotted over: "Is it too hasty for the young master to decide like this, there are many people on the other side on the road route, and we may be difficult to compete." ”

"General Xue is right." Someone came forward to echo it.

General Shan also stopped.

Before meeting Changning, Xue Yan had always been his staff and think tank, so he was also very concerned about Xue Yan's words.

Changning swept the faces of more than twenty people one by one.

"If I'm not mistaken, all of you are northerners."

General Shan looked around, nodded and said, "Yes, most of us are from the northwest, and it was the old general who recruited troops from the border into the Xiliu camp. ”

"That's right, you might be able to make a ten on land, but what about on a ship?"

Chang Ning stopped them.

General Shan and Xue Yan looked at each other, and suddenly patted their heads: "It's still the young master who thinks thoughtfully, we landlubbers, once we are trapped on the water, the whole army will be annihilated, this is a taboo for soldiers." ”

He is a person who has been a general in the end, and he has thought it through.

"If you take the land route, you can at least kill a bloody road, and you will never suffocate to death on the water."

"But ......" the person who echoed Xue Yan seemed to be a little worried.

Xue Yan rushed in front of the man and said, "I was negligent, the young master thought very comprehensively. ”

General Shan and Xue Yan agreed, and the man naturally had no opinion, and a group of people set off to the south.

Changning walked at the front of the team and grabbed General Shan and chatted for a few words.

"Song Yisheng is likely to follow us all the time, in order to find him out, I hope the general will accompany me to play a scene."

"Young master, please speak."

As night falls, the mountain trail becomes more and more difficult to walk.

Because the road ahead was uncertain, and there were pursuers behind, they couldn't light too many torches, so they only lit two torches in front and behind.

In the middle, many of the figures who were far away from the fire were bright and dark.

Changning was at the front of the team, and because it was difficult to walk at night, she stopped and stopped, and finally stopped three miles before the next county seat.

"Fix it up, and go into the city tomorrow morning depending on the situation." Changning glanced at Xue Yan, he had no opinion.

The people sat on the floor, and no one spoke.

Until late at night, everyone fell asleep, and Changning also rested against the trunk of the tree.

Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered.

General Shan grabbed a person's collar and threw it viciously to the center: "Say, what do you want to do?!" ”

"General! The general is angry, I just want to pee. ”

"Pee pee need to go that far? Need to tear off the belt and hang it on the branches?! General Shan scolded, so angry that he raised his eyebrows.

Changning opened his eyes with a smile.

Xue Yan looked confused: "What's the matter?" ”

General Shan kicked the man fiercely and said at Xue Yan: "Fortunately, I listened to the young master's order to inspect the neighborhood, otherwise I would have let this traitor report the news!" ”

"Reporting?" Xue Yan's eyes widened, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down: "What else did you find?" ”

"The young master said to be careful that Song Yisheng's little beast followed us, so I took advantage of the night to patrol, but I didn't know that I saw Erchang sneaking away! Erchang, what did the old general do to you back then, you actually want to betray the old general! General Shan was so angry that he just wanted to slap him to death.

Xue Yan stopped General Shan: "Let him make it clear, the old general treats him like a mountain." ”

"Erchang, do you really want to betray the old general?"

Erchang stared at Xue Yan and gasped: "No, I didn't betray the old general!" ”

"And what is this?"

Changning took the belt and unfolded the folds, and the southern characters written in charcoal on it were displayed in front of everyone's eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, you are burning charcoal." ”

"Erchang!"

"How can you do such a thing!" Xue Yan shouted loudly and grabbed Erchang's collar.

Erchang trembled and gasped even more.

Everyone gathered around and scolded the traitor, spitting at Erchang, Changning frowned and was about to pull them away, when he heard Erchang's voice change his tune.

"I didn't! I-" Erchang breathed poisonous blood from his mouth, and he whimpered for his life.
