Chapter 158: Medium Scheme
The adjutant general looked at the brother and sister coldly,
"I'll ask you again, where did the remnants of the winner go",
Da Zhuang covered his arms and couldn't stop trembling, he couldn't speak at all because of the pain at the moment, Ning Bao was angry, looking at his brother lying in a pool of blood with grief,
At this moment, she had long forgotten her fear, and looked at the adjutant general and replied coldly,
"I don't understand what you're talking about, and I don't know who you're talking about."
The deputy general sneered, looking at the brother and sister with playful eyes,
"Do you think you can get away with it by saying this, my people have already found out in the village, and the winner Yu fell off the cliff and was treated at your house, do you know that you are guilty of a capital crime",
The adjutant general's eyes were cold when he said this, and he looked at the two of them asking sharply, as soon as his words fell, several torches suddenly rose outside the courtyard, and the dark village suddenly became brightly lit, and a team of royal guards wearing gold armor broke through the courtyard gate and rushed straight in.
"I'll give you one last chance, and say, where is the person we are looking for",
Ning Bao wiped away the tears on his face, and did not show the slightest fear in the face of the threat of the deputy general, he looked at the latter and responded without changing his face,
"It's a big deal to kill us, don't say I don't know, even if I know, I won't tell you",
Although Ning Bao felt angry, she did not lose her mind at this moment, she learned from the conversation between Ling Cang and Guan Bao that the two would go to the Tiger Prison Pass after leaving the village, and at the same time, she also guessed that the deputy general was here for Ling Cang, so she would not tell the deputy general Ling Cang's whereabouts even if she died.
The adjutant general smiled contemptuously, looked at the two of them and responded coldly,
"Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't know where they went, I might as well tell you that from the mysterious forces entering the village to leaving after meeting with the winner remnants, all their actions are under the control of General Qin, if I guess correctly, that group of people should be the old department of Win Wuxian, the reason why we didn't fight the grass and scare the snake is to wipe out the remnants of the winners",
"What",
Ning Bao was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that those people who wanted to kill Ling Cang had already seen through their plan, and looked at the deputy general and asked eagerly,
"What crime did Brother Ling Cang commit, why did you treat him to death",
The adjutant sneered and didn't speak, as if he felt that Ning Bao's question was stupid and not worth answering.
He gasped for breath with a big mouth, and the blood loss made him almost faint, but he still endured the severe pain, and looked at the deputy general and asked,
"Before I die, I want to know a question, is Ling Cang the son of the former Zhenxi general Win Wuxian",
The deputy general was slightly interested in Da Zhuang's question, and he looked at Da Zhuang with a playful face and replied,
"That's right, you saved the son of the great thief and the unkilled, the henchman of the emperor today, now you know how big a capital crime you have committed, do you regret it?"
The adjutant general said coldly,
Da Zhuang endured the severe pain, and after calming down, he actually smiled at the deputy general,
"No, General Win conquers the Yi soldiers, shocks the west, he is the patron saint of the people of Zhongzhou",
Da Zhuang said that his emotions suddenly became excited, and he stood up and looked at the adjutant general Zheng's words,
"I will never regret saving Ling Cang, I can be a brother with General Win's son, and I am fortunate to have three lives",
Da Zhuang laughed out loud after speaking, looking very free,
But his words undoubtedly angered the lieutenant general, and the expression on his face changed from banter to annoyance, and he looked at the big and angry Dao,
"Since you want to die, then I will fulfill you",
With that, a sword was swung out, the blade of the sword cut through Da Zhuang's throat, blood flew from Da Zhuang's neck, Da Zhuang screamed and fell straight to the ground, but he had a proud smile on his face, this blow was fatal to him,
That's right, Da Zhuang died, forever fell in a pool of blood, but at the moment of death, he did not show the slightest fear and regret, as he said before, in his heart to win the immortal is to shock the western realm, to protect the peace of the people.
It was an incomparably honorable honor and pride for him to be a brother to his son, and he had a clear conscience and died without regrets.
"Brother",
Ning Bao's emotions were completely out of control, and he hugged Da Zhuang's corpse and cried,
At this moment, a captain of the Royal Forest Military Academy walked in and hugged his fist at the adjutant general,
"General, General Qin has already led people to the pre-ambushed position, and by tomorrow morning, the remnants of the winner and his remnants will be wiped out, let's rush over for reinforcements."
After that, he looked at Ning Bao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly,
"This village woman collects rebellion, the crime is unforgivable, kill him and return to Chang'an to deal with the emperor",
The lieutenant suggested,
The adjutant general glanced at Ning Bao, thought for a few seconds, put away the blade, looked at the captain and replied,
"Although she committed a capital crime, there is other use in keeping it, take him away",
The lieutenant general left a cold sentence and then shook his hand and walked out of the gate, the lieutenant answered, and randomly looked at Ning Bao and ordered coldly,
"Someone, take her away",
…………
At dawn the next day, Ling Cang got up early to find Guan Bao standing on a high ground, his face was solemn at this moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ling Cang stepped forward, looked at the latter and said with a smile,
"Uncle Guan, what are you thinking about when you wake up so early?"
Guan Bao saw that it was Ling Cang, and sighed lightly before replying to the latter,
"Weird, it's so abnormal",
Ling Cang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand what Guan Bao's words meant, and immediately looked at the latter and asked,
"Uncle Guan, isn't it going well, what's wrong",
Ling Cang is not a soldier and does not understand the grass and trees on the battlefield, but Guan Bao conquered Xirong and has experienced a hundred battles, and his sense of smell of battlefield crises is far stronger than Ling Cang.
His face was solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the latter and continued,
"From yesterday to now, the second-way pursuit force is too quiet, the silence is unsettling, they are all the elite of the Royal Forest Army, how can they not notice the slightest change, I have a faint bad premonition in my heart, we want to return to the Tiger Prison Pass, I'm afraid it's not so easy",
Guan Bao's face was solemn, looking at Ling Cang's Zheng
"What",
Ling Cang was stunned when he heard this, and randomly fell into thought, Guan Bao's words were by no means groundless, he had led troops to kill on the battlefield of Xirong, he had experienced a hundred battles, Ling Cang had no reason not to believe the latter's judgment,
Guan Bao sighed and beckoned to the officer in the distance,
"Come here",
Hearing this, the officer hurriedly trotted over and hugged his fist at Guan Bao,
"What commands the general,
Guan Bao's face was solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the latter and asked,
"Have the soldiers who went to collect supplies yesterday returned?" ,
The officer replied,
"Back to the general, those 10 soldiers have not returned to the team",
The officer was also full of doubts when he said this, he scratched his head and looked at Guan Bao and said,
"The subordinates also think that this matter is too abnormal, Ping'an City is only 50 miles away from here, and now that the night has passed, it stands to reason that people should have come back a long time ago, so don't wait and see."
The officer proposed,
Guan Bao didn't reply, and when he heard the words, he fell into thought,
At this moment, another officer trotted over from a distance, looking at Guan Bao and saying eagerly,
"Report, report to the general, all the people we sent to Heian Castle to monitor the movements of the Imperial Forest Army have lost contact",
The officer said,
"What",
Guan Bao was shocked when he heard this, and his face became gloomy, and at this moment there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, the men and horses sent to monitor and the people and horses who collected military supplies disappeared at the same time, which was by no means a good sign,
One of the officers clenched his fists, looked at Guan Bao and proposed,
"General, why don't I send another team of men into the city to search for the missing soldiers?"
Guan Bao's face was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he immediately looked at the two officers and ordered in a deep voice,
"Can't wait any longer, gather the army and set off immediately",
Guan Bao ordered categorically, and at this moment, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, the longer the troops stayed here, the more dangerous it became.
The two officers clenched their fists and responded in unison
"Obey",
Random troops assemble and continue to move forward,
Guan Bao was silent all the way, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, the troops are still driving on the official road, and they can turn into the mountain road after advancing about 20 miles.
Looking at the calm mountains and forests around him, Guan Bao said to himself in his heart,
"I hope this time it's my gut that goes wrong",
In the process of running on the mountain road, it was quite smooth, and nothing abnormal was found, and even the place where it was easiest to be ambushed passed smoothly.
The army moved so smoothly that even Guan Leopard's heart breathed a sigh of relief, now it was very close to the mountain road, if there were no Imperial Forest Army in those places that were most suitable for ambushes, then it would be impossible for them to appear again,
There was only an open field left ahead, and that kind of terrain was not suitable for ambushes, Guan Leopard muttered to himself,
"Could it really be that I was overly concerned that the Imperial Guards didn't find any problems",
Guan Bao thought so in his heart, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up and rush to the entrance of the mountain road as fast as possible.
The soldiers also let their guard down, and the troops accelerated forward, passing through the last open area, but when the troops were halfway through the open field,
The wind and clouds around the official road suddenly changed, and the sound of the neighing of war horses sounded a mile away, and in the next second, the shouting and killing sound resounded in the sky, and the momentum was so great that it was impossible to tell where the enemy was.
Guan Bao's face sank, and he subconsciously raised his eyes, only to see countless gold-armored soldiers surrounded from all directions with the momentum of wind and clouds, the scale was huge, and there were thousands of people.
Guan Bao's eyes tightened,
"It's not good, it's a trick",
But it was too late at this moment, and the second-way pursuit troops roared from all directions, and the army quickly approached and surrounded the winner's army.
Ling Cang saw that there was a general riding out of the front of the encirclement and standing at the forefront of the army, this person was one of the commanders of the two forbidden armies in the palace, General Qin, the commander of the second-way pursuit and killing troops.
