Chapter 71: A Crisis of Confidence
The atmosphere in the tent was slightly awkward. Meng Dun, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also noticed this, so he waved his hand at Ah Heng and said, "You must have suffered a lot these days, go and rest first!" Meng Dun gestured to the guards beside him, and was about to let Ah Heng take him away.
But seeing Ah Heng suddenly take a step forward, he hugged his fists and said, "Wait, Lord Mengton, I have an extremely important matter that needs to be reported to you alone." He glanced at the others in the tent, but was silent.
Meng Dun immediately understood what Ah Heng meant, but he still said: "It's all my own family, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Ah Heng shook his head, pursed his lips and refused to say more.
"Boy, you are just a little undead, you dare to let Lao Tzu go away, how do I know that you are not sent by the undead tribe, do you want to murder Lord Monton?"
Ah Heng glanced at Fu Rong, and he didn't expect that this person was the captain of the first battalion of wolf cavalry, and he was so narrow-minded. However, he also heard that this person was not from the Northern Frontier Army. When the disabled Central Army was reorganized, dozens of fierce generals from the wolf cavalry battalion were transferred to serve as the backbone of the central army, and this person was forced into the wolf cavalry camp by the emperor from elsewhere, in other words, the sand mixed by the royal family to the northern Xinjiang army.
However, Ah Heng was not interested in such a mad dog at all, and only stared at Meng Dun and said: "It is a matter of the safety of Northern Xinjiang, if the adults insist on letting some people know after hearing about it, I have no opinion." But before that, I can only say it to you, my lord. β
Hearing Ah Heng mention the words "the safety of northern Xinjiang", Meng Dun couldn't help but straighten up. He couldn't be sure if Ah Heng was deliberately exaggerating. Ah Heng's identity has been exposed, and it is not what it used to be, if he is commed by someone with a heart for the crime of secretly meeting the undead, it will be enough to disgust himself. He frowned, glancing at the others in the tent, a little hesitant.
At this time, Major General Jurgen, known as the "Fox of Northern Xinjiang", took the lead and said: "Since the children are so insistent, it doesn't hurt for us to avoid it for the time being." However, if the little guy can't give us a few old men an explanation later, hum-" He glanced at Ah Heng meaningfully, and raised his fist again, obviously wanting to tell Ah Heng that if he deliberately exaggerated, he would inevitably suffer from flesh and skin.
Ah Heng pursed his lips and smiled, bowed slightly towards Major General Yugen, and expressed his respect for the famous fox of the Northern Frontier.
Jurgen laughed, and was the first to get up and leave the tent, followed by Tuoba. Only Fu Rong glared at Ah Heng fiercely, stomped his feet and left angrily.
In a moment, only Ah Heng and Meng Dun were left in the camp, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"You can say it now. Meng Dun leaned back in his chair gently, faintly unable to hear the slightest emotion, obviously Meng Dun had a trace of dissatisfaction with Ah Heng.
Ah Heng didn't care, he took a deep breath, and suddenly said word by word: "Prince Wen Ye Chong intends to rebel and subvert the northern frontier, and the governor is in danger." β
"What?" Monton got up and knocked over the pen and paper on the table, as calm as he had always been, but he quickly calmed down again. Said coldly, "Is there any basis?"
Listening to the thick distrust in Mengton's tone, a trace of disappointment flashed in Ah Heng's eyes, and the first thing that Mengton thought of was not the consequences of this incident, but the credibility of his words.
In fact, after Monton is not strictly human, he has orc blood on him, and such a general in the northern frontier will actually be questioned because of the change in his identity. Maybe it was a mistake to come here to ask for help from Monton yourself.
Looking at Meng Dun's suspicious eyes, for a while, Ah Heng was a little excited, he knew that this was the case, he might as well risk his death to get close to the wolf city! But it was too late to regret it, Ah Heng knew that if he couldn't say that Meng Dun could not be moved today, the northern frontier would be in danger, and the governor would be in danger. The stakes are too high for him not to insist.
Ah Heng gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Mengton, although I have heard all this news, it is not a lie that I can guarantee with my life. β
Monton breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be hearsay, that is, this news has yet to be verified." Well, you get up first, go back to rest, and wait for me to check it carefully before making any plans. If Prince Nawen really wants to rebel, it is absolutely impossible for our Northern Frontier Army to sit idly by and watch the thieves run rampant. β
Ah Heng smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't want such high-sounding words, and when you, Lord Mengton, finished verifying, it was time to wipe your neck and kill yourself. He still knelt on one knee, stared at Mengton's eyes and said hurriedly: "My lord, I also know that this matter is too bizarre, but whether you believe it or not, whether you believe it or not, I hope that your Excellency will warn the Governor as soon as possible!" Ah Heng suddenly felt a little dazed, and his body began to shake slightly.
Seeing Ah Heng's shortness of breath, Meng Dun couldn't help but wonder, "Are you injured?"
Ah Heng knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party after all, so he simply admitted: "My lord's eyes are like torches, I have a strange poison in my body, although my life is saved, but my martial arts have been lost!"
Mengton's eyes shrank, and then he looked at Ah Heng with a smile: "In that case, how did you escape from Lost Town?"
Ah Heng stubbornly said, "They took the initiative to let me go." Ah Heng knew that this matter was even more bizarre, if he really pulled out the bunch of about Yue Qing's soul, it would only make Meng Dun feel more and more untrustworthy, however, he had no better explanation than that. Because, everything that happened to him is even more unbelievable to say. Did he have to tell Monton that he was the king of the 'Hidden God' organization?
Sure enough, Monton pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Oh, they have such a good heart, they didn't let you go at first, but let you go after you learned such a secret thing?"
Ah Heng opened his mouth, knowing what the other party was suspicious of, so he had to choose to remain silent.
"Let me tell you for you, because they just want to use you to spread false news to force us to return to the army in a hurry, and even let the orcs take the opportunity to wear down our strength so that they can come to the city. And it can also stir up the relationship between the human royal family, right?" Monton suddenly snapped.
Ah Heng's face changed, and he sighed and said, "Lord Mengton, although I would be so suspicious if I were you, I really hope that you will put aside these doubts and choose to believe me once." Wolf City is my home, and I regard the Governor as my family, and I will never hurt my relatives-"
"Maybe you're just being taken advantage of. Monton directly interrupted Ah Heng's words, "What we see and hear may not be true, I can understand that you have a hard time arguing now." Ah Heng, I believe in your feelings for Wolf City and the Governor, and I don't want to worry about this matter, you go and rest!"
Ah Heng bit his lip tightly and stood up straight, he knew that it was useless for him to say more, so he simply said: "Since Lord Mengton doesn't believe it, please send someone to send me back to Wolf City." β
Monton smiled and nodded: "When I am done with the business at hand, I will definitely send someone to escort you back." Now you stand down!"
Ah Heng still stood still: "The heart is like an arrow, I don't want to wait for a moment, and I ask the adults to do it." β
"Presumptuous!" Mengton's eyes shrank slightly, and his tone began to become stern, "Is it child's play like you in the army, go down, you must not leave without my orders."
Ah Heng looked at the other party fearlessly, and said word by word: "Lord Mengton, you really disappointed me, I never thought that you would be so self-righteous. Have you ever wondered: If what I say is true, what will happen to your Excellency if something happens to you?"
Meng Dun's face changed when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you think too much about the Governor, and you also take the Northern Frontier Army too lightly. Do you know that there are 100,000 garrisons around Wolf City, and there are 30,000 defenders in the city. The Governor's Mansion guards 800 are even more 100 sharp soldiers with one enemy and 100 soldiers, try to ask who can harm the Governor. β
Ah Heng sneered and said: "My lord is a famous general in the world, don't you know that sometimes numbers are always just a bunch of numbers, and it is never these forces represented by numbers that determine the overall situation." Ah Heng's fighting spirit germinated again, as long as the other party put aside the proposition of whether there was such a conspiracy or not, and instead discussed the severity of the consequences of this matter, he would have more hope.
"Don't be ashamed!" said Monton, furious.
"Isn't it too late to ask Lord Monton to listen to my analysis before drawing conclusions. β
"Good, good!" said Monton, whose face turned blue with anger, "Since you are so confident, you would like to hear about it, but if you are not convinced, you should know the consequences." β
Ah Heng smiled slightly, didn't care, and continued: "First of all, the 30,000 defenders of Wolf City that your lord just mentioned, this is indeed a force that can influence the victory or defeat in the city. However, this root is not substantiated. Because you don't know yet, adult, the Inspectorate has long become Ye Chong's lackey. From this, it can be inferred what kind of role Liu Jiye, the inspector of Wolf City, will play. β
Meng Dun sneered again and again: "What is Liu Jiye? It may be okay to play a little trick, when it comes to military affairs, he is just a literati who does not know soldiers." β
Ah Heng ignored Mengton's disdain, and continued, "If I were Liu Jiye, I wouldn't need to do anything at all, as long as in the name of the inspector, I used the 8,000 gendarmerie battalion to quickly control the middle-level officers of the defenders. As for military talent, I believe that Ye Chong must have arranged a real commander in Wolf City, and Liu Jiye only needs to give full play to his ability to frame. The most important thing in the empire is generals, and every year the Imperial Military Academy sends a large number of officers to various military regions, can you make sure that there are no Ye Zhong people among them?"
Meng Dun's face changed, if all the prerequisites were true, what Ah Heng said was not impossible.
"Next, as long as the city gate is blocked, not to mention the 100,000 garrisons around, even if the 300,000 garrisons in the north are all in front of them, facing the wolf city, which is the world's built city, it is only in vain. As for the 800 guards of the Governor's Palace, I admit that they are all outstanding in battle. But do you think Ye Chonghui is unprepared, since he dares to seek the northern frontier, he must have arranged a force in advance that is enough to compete with the eight hundred personal guards. As far as I know, Elder Luo Si of the Senate of the Undead Tribe has an in-depth cooperation with Ye Chong. If the three hundred Templars in the envoy ranks, plus the woman Rose, and the eight thousand gendarmerie battalions with good combat strength, how sure do you think the eight hundred guards of the Governor's Mansion can protect the Governor's safety?"
Rose Monton's eyes narrowed slightly, the woman's martial arts were indeed unfathomable, but this was not enough to convince him: "If what you said is true, it is indeed unguardable, but this is just your speculation? To put it bluntly, it is just alarmist." β
"No, at least one thing is certain, and that is that Ye Chong has reached a cooperation with the Senate of the God-given Republic. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and Guo Wu and Fu Tianlou also knew about it. On that day, when the adults welcomed Luo Si into the city, we followed Liu Jiye and found that Luo Si handed over an important woman to Liu Jiye to take away, and we believe that this woman must be the key person in their cooperation. Subsequently, I, Guo Wu, and Fu Tianlou kidnapped this womanβ"
Monton's face changed slightly: "Oh, why don't I know anything about this, no, isn't it true that the Governor doesn't know anything about it?"
"Because on the day of the abduction of that woman, we were sent to the ice field by our stepfather before we had time to contact the Governor. This woman was later imprisoned by my stepfather. β
Meng Dun was stunned, and then reacted that the father-in-law in Ah Heng's mouth was the number one assassin in the world, Yue Wuying. He wasn't very clear about the relationship between Yue Wuying and the Governor, but he also knew that Yue Wuying was in Wolf City, and he must have been protected by the Governor. Monton thought for a moment and asked, "Since Guo Wu is also one of the people in the know, why didn't he inform the Governor about this?"
"Lord Monton, you should know very well that since the death of Guo Wu's mother ten years ago, it is almost everyone in Wolf City that Guo Wu and the Governor do not agree. It is almost impossible to expect Guo Wu to take the initiative to mention this matter to the Governor. Moreover, in the hearts of the three of us, the father-in-law will definitely inform the Governor of this matter, after all, the two of them have a good relationship-" Ah Heng paused slightly, and he couldn't continue for a while.
"Oh?" Monton looked at Ah Heng's expression, vaguely understanding something. He suddenly showed a look of disbelief, and shook his head again, if Yue Wuying really had a relationship with Lord Governor, then it would be completely easy for him to take Lord Governor's life, why wait until today.
Ah Heng closed his eyes in pain, and Mengton's guess was exactly what he couldn't figure out. He didn't know what was wrong between his father-in-law and the Governor, or if it was just the Moon Clear's soul. Ah Heng's heart is full of torment: when trust becomes unreliable, it is a deadly poison. When everyone is in doubt, what can they do to keep the northern frontier, the wolf city, and the people they cherish?
Ah Heng was even more determined to return to Wolf City immediately, because only by returning to Wolf City could all this have an answer, but was he still in time?
