Chapter 55: The Trap
At this time, Wei Xianfeng also came back, probably because he didn't find too much useful news, and his face was a little ugly.
Several people discussed countermeasures in the temple, and they couldn't help but say that Luo Xue was tied up and placed in a military tent outside the temple.
Luo Xue naturally knew that they didn't believe her, and it didn't matter, but what was the reason why she had to be tied up?
Okay, even if he was the one who appeared inexplicably, and caused General Chen to be injured, he couldn't let himself run, and he did have a bad influence on them, and he was tied up by them cooperatively.
But can this really trap her, Luo Xue chuckled, her consciousness was released, and suddenly a radius of twenty miles was covered. The first place to look out is where the robbers went.
I saw that in the direction of more than ten miles to the east, on a hill, it seemed like the stronghold of a certain force. There is a very secret cave in the mountain, and the surrounding area is crawling with vines.
If it weren't for the divine sense to detect the difference, Luo Xue would not have paid attention to such an ordinary cave, and he didn't expect it to be an assassin organization.
Luo Xue watched those bandits enter this cave, and when her divine sense went inside, she saw that there was simply another world in the cave.
The building is magnificent and elegantly arranged, and in the hall-like building, there are assassins gathered at the moment, and those bandits just now are also among them, and Yan Ran has changed into their uniform clothes.
There was a middle-aged man sitting above the main seat, listening to his subordinates' report on the attack on Yan Jun, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good job! You have made a great contribution! When Your Majesty's reward comes, everyone will be rewarded!"
Through their conversation, Luo Xue also roughly understood what was going on.
Fan Guo first planted Neiying in the northern team, drugged the northern army at a critical moment, and then sent assassins disguised as bandits to intercept the food of the northern team, attacking the generals of the northern country, hoping to weaken the strength of the northern country.
Obviously, the Northern Kingdom was in alliance with the Fan Kingdom and the Western Zhou Dynasty, why did they do this, and what were the next moves? Seeing that there was no more news available on the assassin's side, Luo Xue then withdrew his divine sense.
Here she noticed that Chen Daoting in the temple had woken up, Wei Qianfeng was feeding him water, and the soldiers outside were also gradually waking up.
When they heard that the general had been attacked and that the military rations had been robbed, they were all shocked, and they must know that military rations are a very important matter when marching and fighting! There was a commotion outside, and there was also a commotion in the traditionally strict military camp.
Many soldiers were talking loudly about what to eat next, and Vice General Liu tried to calm the army's heart and made gestures to make everyone quiet many times, but to no avail, there was still a noise outside, so he had no choice but to enter the temple to discuss with Chen Daoting.
"General Chen, how is this good, we don't even have food for the next meal. ”
"At present, it is too late to return, the nearest is only Fan Guo, you can only borrow grain from Fan Guo, Wei Zhong, you quickly send someone to Fan Guo, explain the situation this time, ask for a strict investigation of the surrounding mountain bandits, and at the same time borrow grain from Fan Guo"
Vice General Liu hesitated slightly: "In this way, aren't we subject to Fan Jun everywhere?"
"For now, we can only do this first, Lieutenant General Pang, you send a team of people to return to Beijing quickly, and ask Your Majesty to arrange backup food" Chen Daoting issued an order to the urgent general who had been guarding Luo Xue at the earliest.
"Yes, General" Lieutenant General Pang gave a military salute and strode outside to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Vice General Liu could only go to borrow food from Fan Guo in a letter, and only Wei Zhongfeng was left in the house, Chen Daoting looked at him and asked casually, "What about the girl with the gauze hat?"
Wei Zhongfeng stepped forward and replied, "The time when that girl appeared was too coincidental, and her subordinates thought she was very suspicious, but she said that she knew the general, and bandaged the general's wounds, and saw that the general also saved her before, so the subordinates didn't dare to make a claim, and temporarily locked her up."
Chen Daoting nodded, "She won't be a traitor, the matter of robbing grain is obviously premeditated, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be fascinated at one time, and other people's internal responses have already been installed in our military camp, you have to investigate this matter carefully." Bring her to me, girl, and I have something to ask her. ”
"Yes" As the guard retreated, Luo Xue yawned, his consciousness had been released for too long, and he was very tired, and now he took it back, just waiting for someone to release him.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before footsteps sounded outside the tent, and two soldiers came in and untied her, took her to the ruined temple, and retreated.
The noisy soldiers outside had finally quieted down just now because of the thunderous tactics of Vice General Liu, and it was precisely because of this quietness that the temple seemed even quieter.
Chen Daoting didn't speak, Luo Xue didn't speak, the two of them sat for a while, and finally Chen Daoting opened his mouth first.
"Miss Luo, why are you here. ”
Luo Xue spread her hands, "I've been here, I've been sleeping on this beam, I want to ask why you suddenly ran to Fan Guolai, and it happened to be in the place where I slept, and I was shocked and fell off it." ”
Hearing this, Chen Daoting was suspicious for a while, "Are you really sleeping on it instead of eavesdropping on it?"
If you want to say that this Nizi is sleeping on it, she must not believe it, the march is such a big battle, and she is discussing military affairs in this temple, how can she sleep peacefully with her skills.
If you want him to say, it must be that this girl saw him coming and deliberately hid on it and didn't come out. It's nothing more than not wanting to see him
Luo Xue was embarrassed for a while, "Anyway, I'm not a traitor, but you, aren't you the commander of the forbidden army of Yan Kingdom, when did you become the general of the Northern Kingdom." ”
"It's a long story, in short, I was originally from the North, and I was exiled to Yan Country since I was a child. Fortunately, His Majesty Yanguo appreciated it, so I had an errand, Yancheng made a great contribution that time, I have nothing to ask for, but to resign and return to China.
The northern kingdom and the Yan kingdom are far apart, and there is no contact in peacetime, and there is no military hidden danger, so Your Majesty agreed, so soon after you left, I will return to the northern country. ”
Luo Xue smiled and glanced at him,??" I can't see it, you kid can, it won't be long since you go back to the north, and you'll be a general."
Chen Daoting smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "When do you plan to leave this time?"
Luo Xue saw that he was looking at herself, and she was a little hesitant. This time he did admit his love, and the Northern Army seemed to have fallen into some trap this time.
Although it is related to the fortune of the country, she can't just interfere in affecting the luck of a country, but she always thinks about protecting him and trying her best to help him avoid a catastrophe. So he teased, "I'll stay here with you and won't leave, aren't you going to Ningguo, just by the way." ”
Hearing the word Shunlu, Chen Daoting's eyes froze, this girl is still thinking about going to the Dead Sea, it's just that.
The two didn't say anything more, Luo Xue showed Chen Daoting the injury, the problem was not big, it was gradually healing, and he was relieved.
Chen Daoting also arranged a private tent for her, and she stayed with the army.
Although the food was gone, the march could not be delayed, and the large army still set off according to the original route.
In the past two days, the soldiers had no military rations, naturally there was no food, and they had to hurry, so they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, but fortunately, the soldiers' literacy was okay, and they believed that their generals would definitely be able to think of a way, so there was no trouble.
It was not until the evening of the third day that the relief grain of the Fan Kingdom was brought over, and together with them, the envoys of the Fan Kingdom expressed their Majesty's intentions.
He said that he was deeply sorry for what happened to the Northern Army, and that he would strictly investigate the bandits, and at the same time promised to be responsible for the food supply of the Northern Army before the rescue food arrived, and said that because Fan Guo did not have much grain in stock and had to turn over many times, he could only deliver grain once every few days.
In the general's main account, several generals have gloomy faces, every few days, doesn't this mean that they will be greatly controlled by Fan Guo in the future!
"That old fox in Fan Guo is really insidious, in my opinion, the bandits this time are well-trained, and they look like a practicing family.
Maybe it was the assassins they arranged to disguise themselves, and this was all their conspiracy!" General Pang was so angry that he walked back and forth in the military tent, muttering non-stop.
