The next morning, Deputy General Li Yongcheng hurried to the hall of the Qingzuka City County Government, and Zhu Baolin was sitting on the large seat of the county order to read the information submitted by the spies.

Seeing Li Yongcheng's uneasy look, Zhu Baolin couldn't help but wonder: "Something happened, it made your face change." ”

Li Yongcheng said with a solemn face: "My lord, the soldiers and horses of Shicheng Kingdom disappeared overnight. ”

"What?" Zhu Baolin was really stunned, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, he frowned and said, "You mean, the three thousand soldiers and horses are gone?"

Li Yongcheng nodded heavily and said: "Yes, although the lord ordered not to take care of them, but the last general still sent people to observe their movements every day, and it was the same last night, three thousand soldiers and horses were encamped, and there was no abnormal phenomenon, but when I sent people to go there this morning, I found that there were already people going to the camp, and only one stove pit remained." The last general didn't believe it at first, but he personally rushed over and found that the person was really missing!"

Zhu Baolin slapped on the table, and snorted heavily: "It's really stupid, greed for life and fear of death is a common problem for these gentlemen, and the royal family is no exception, but I didn't expect that this King of Shicheng is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also stupid and ridiculous, he has a warrant from Lord Yuan in his hand, and the general has no intention of letting him go to the front, he is very safe in the back, don't you know if you run away so suddenly?"

Li Yongcheng also nodded again and again: "Yes, the last general also thinks the same, I always feel that this matter is a little strange, after all, the war has not started yet, why is he in such a hurry to slip away?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "This is a letter tied to the flagpole of the camp of the King of Stone City, with the words "Enlightened by the Lord himself" written on it. ”

Zhu Baolin took the envelope with a cold face, took out the letter paper with a disdainful look and glanced at it, it didn't matter, but his calm face suddenly changed, and he slapped his palm on the table again, and said angrily: "Ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous!"

Li Yongcheng was puzzled: "My lord, why are you ridiculous?"

Zhu Baolin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, he did not answer Li Yongcheng's words, but asked coldly: "Was there any movement on the mountain last night?"

Li Yongcheng replied: "According to the information received, there is no abnormal movement. ”

"There is no abnormal movement?" Zhu Baolin sneered, threw the letter and said, "Then take a good look at what is written on it!"

After Li Yongcheng finished reading it, he exclaimed, "What, the king of Shicheng actually led his army to Xuzhou......!

Zhu Baolin sat back on the wooden chair and said solemnly: "I think there is a possibility. ”

Li Yongcheng said puzzledly: "What do adults mean ......"

Zhu Baolin said in a deep voice: "No matter how stupid the King of Shicheng is, he will not make up a lie that is so easy to be exposed, three thousand soldiers and horses retreat, no matter what road they take, the surrounding townships and counties will definitely hear the movement, and the matter will reach His Majesty's ears, this escape is a capital crime, and the King of Shicheng will not take this risk! And if there is no movement around, then it is impossible for them to retreat, and they can only enter the territory of Xuzhou through the mountains outside the city!"
