Chapter 172: Two Goals
"We are also acting on orders, General Xiao and the Xiliang horse thieves are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and they are being investigated in the army, county lord, you can give me a good time!" Yang Baihu knows that there is more luck and less luck.
Last night, three soldiers took advantage of the night to secretly take Xiao Wenbin, who was seriously injured, out of the barracks when they were on duty in the army. It was he who was careless, thinking that Xiao Wenbin could not move freely after being seriously injured, so he relaxed his vigilance.
He received the news that several people fled to Ningxia Town overnight, and today he specially brought people over to capture these people! If Xiao Wenbin can't be arrested, he will definitely be punished. But he definitely won't tell Xiao Wenjun the truth about this matter.
"You talk nonsense! General Xiao has never collaborated with the enemy! The young men walked out of the herb shop with a look of indignation and seriousness, they had already taken the herbs in their hands at this moment, and they wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
But when he heard what Yang Baihu said, he was angry, and he couldn't help but want to defend a few words, and the one who stopped him just now was Xiaodong, the leader of the three.
"Humph! Vice General Tong and Vice General Tang personally explained, can they still have leave? Yang Baihu's words were conclusive, and he didn't look like a fake, compared to everyone, as if he was the victim.
"That's just your words! There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! Xiao Dong couldn't hold back any longer, and kicked the handle of the gun, making a strong vibration, and Yang Baihu's wound suddenly spurted out a lot of blood.
"Ah...... Xiaodong, I advise you to keep your eyes open and see whose world is in this world, and who is the backstage of the two lieutenants! ”
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Yang Baihu's forehead, his eyes were full of resentment, and he grinned and showed his blood-stained teeth.
He is already at the end of the dagger at the moment, and he does not want to entangle with a few minions about right and wrong.
"Humph! I only know that it was General Xiao who rescued me from the pile of dead, and I only listened to General Xiao! "Xiaodong doesn't have much ambition, he only admits death, he has his own eyes and knows what is right and what is wrong, and Xiao Wenbin is deeply trusted by the low-level soldiers.
After Yang Baihu listened, he was silent, and he fainted in pain.
He knew what Xiaodong said, but the two deputy generals Tong and Tang had promised him that once the task was completed, he would be able to become an official and become a knight, and glorify his ancestors.
He grew up in a bitter cold place since he was a child, his parents and brothers had a very difficult life, he finally joined the army, and worked the battlefield to get a small hundred households.
After being beaten by reality, the promise of the two lieutenants was a great temptation for him.
In fact, Yang Baihu is also gambling, betting that he can survive this seizure of power.
Xiao Wenjun sighed in his heart, it turned out that the second brother also had such a group of reliable followers! However, Xiao Wenjun had too little contact with his second brother in his previous life, and his understanding of him was really limited.
Xiao Wenjun thoughtfully, retreated to Wang Jiuyuan's side, looked at the words of the people on both sides, both sides insisted on their own words, and in just a few sentences, they had already guessed a rough idea of this matter, it seems that there are many of them, and even involve the power tilt in the army.
All in all, it is inseparable from Yuwen Yao, and it is too much of a coincidence that there is an accident at the border at this time. His henchmen are all over the place, and the penetration is far deeper than you can imagine.
After asking, Yang Baihu had no value.
Wang Jiuyuan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and subconsciously protected Xiao Wenjun's side, this fight must have alarmed the Ningxia military camp, and it won't be long before the other party's counterattack will be ushered in.
"Little brother, is General Xiao really with you?" Wang Jiuyuan opened his mouth and said, he wanted to confirm Xiao Wenbin's situation as soon as possible, so that he could interrupt the next step, the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it became.
Xiaodong didn't rush to talk, but looked at Xiao Wenjun, as if he had made up his mind: "Are you really General Xiao's family?" ”
"How can there be a fake?" Xiao Wenjun replied.
Without waiting for Xiaodong to answer, a deep voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Like! It's like! With the support of the shopkeeper, an old man with sharp eyes and good spirits walked out of the pharmacy. He looked around at Xiao Wenjun, looking at him who was probably older than the late Mrs. Xiao.
"You're the shopkeeper Cui, right? Xiao Sheng ...... "Wang Jiuyuan hurriedly saluted, it is said that this old man has great energy, and his father has always wanted to win him over but couldn't.
Shopkeeper Cui waved his hand, interrupted Wang Jiuyuan's words, and looked at Xiao Wenjun with a blank face: "Wenjun, what's the matter, even your Grandpa Cui doesn't remember?" ”
"Grandpa Cui?" Xiao Wenjun said to herself, in her past and present life, this name has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, she looked at the person who came in a daze, and suddenly remembered that when she was young, her foot was injured, and it was in Grandpa Cui's pharmacy that he was cured.
No wonder, as soon as we met, there was an inexplicable sense of closeness!
"Wenjun, this place is not suitable for a long time, hurry up and talk in the house!" Shopkeeper Cui looked left and right vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he forcibly pulled everyone into the store.
Wang Jiuyuan followed behind, but he was surprised in his heart. Unexpectedly, the "Judge Cui", who was once famous in the northwest, was so familiar with Xiao Wenjun.
Shopkeeper Cui hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to close the door, he looked at the young people, his eyes were like eagles: "I have seen the prescription just now, it is the 'Jin Chuangdan' that the old man gave to the Xiao family when he was young!" ”
Xiaodong had already clarified Xiao Wenjun's identity, and he should be a member of the road, so he hurriedly replied: "It's my general's!" Shopkeeper Cui, don't stop us, we have to rush back to save the general! ”
There was a faint hint of anxiety between the words, they didn't want to come in with them just now, if Xiao Wenjun hadn't gone in, they would have left a long time ago.
"If you want to die, you can leave my shop!" Shopkeeper Cui's ears moved, and in the distance, there was the sound of war horses and running, which was approaching here.
Just now, Xiao Wenjun and Wang Jiuyuan went on a killing spree, and this movement must have been due to the arrival of the reinforcements.
"What a good thing that is!" Xiaodong paced left and right in the backyard, anxious to turn around.
"Xiaodong, how is the Xiao family's doll?"
Before the shopkeeper Cui could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a rough voice outside.
Just now, a group of men and horses had surrounded the drugstore, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps had calmed down, and it was obvious that they should have gathered and would attack just waiting for the order to be given.
"Listen, the thieves in the house! You have been surrounded, quickly lay down your arms, and surrender obediently! This rough voice was the angry voice of Vice General Tang, "If you don't come out again, we will burn down your shop!" ”
Xiaodong was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and several people knelt on the ground together: "My general is seriously injured and his life is on the verge of death, so I implore the shopkeeper Cui to come to the rescue!" ”
"What did you say?" Xiao Wenjun's eyes widened, and there was a murderous look on his face.
"It's time to come, it's coming after all!" Shopkeeper Cui also frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at the sky in the backyard.
At that time, the sky was clear, but now it is a black cloud pressing down on the city.
"This Ningxia town is going to change the sky!" With that, he led the people into the secret passage.
After opening a pharmacy here, Mr. Cui spent decades building a network of underground passages. The secret passages are intricate, stretching for several miles, and can lead directly to the ruined temple outside the city, or to the general's mansion in the city.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper Cui, everyone soon came to a hidden stronghold in the city, and when they came out of the secret passage, they felt something strange, and several people looked in the direction of the pharmacy tacitly, and the billowing smoke was rising, straight into the sky.
It seems that there is no way back at this point!
