Chapter 495: Discovering the Clues
Dong Tian is now looking into the distance on the wall of Qincheng, he knows that he can be here today completely because of Erniu, although he asked Yue Xing Erniu many times later who he was, but the latter never answered positively, only let him ask in person. In order to live up to the trust of his good friends, Dong Tian has done his best since taking office, and has been praised by other generals many times.
In the past few days, Dong Tian has noticed some subtle changes in Qin Cheng, although he can feel a little different from before, but he can't say what the difference is, so he reported this matter to Qin Fanlin, who said with a smile: "Dong Tian, I know you are very serious, have you been too nervous recently, maybe you need to relax!" Dong Tian thought about it, and felt that what she might say was right, so he nodded and said: "Maybe! I'm always worrying about the sky, today I go around the city, maybe it will be better!" Qin Fan said: "Okay, then I'll give you half a day off and have a good rest!" Dong Tian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I'll patrol by the way!" Qin Fanlin waved his hand and said, "Okay, whatever you want, but to be honest, after recent observations, I am very relieved to hand over Qin Cheng to you!"
Dong Tian hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you General Qin for your recognition, I will continue to work hard!" After speaking, he walked out.
Dong Tian was walking on the street in a military uniform, there was still something wrong in his heart, and at this time he saw a person he had admired for a long time.
"General Fang, hello!" Although she was not wearing a military uniform, Fang Liyao, who was still heroic, was shopping, and saw that someone was taking the initiative to greet her, Fang Liyao stopped, she looked at Dong Tian, and then remembered that this was a general who had just been promoted not long ago, and hurriedly greeted: "You are General Dong Tian Dong, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
When Fang Liyao followed Yue Xing and them back to Qincheng, she could directly become a general with her identity and background, but she insisted on starting as a soldier. It is gold that shines wherever it is, and Fang Liyao has achieved the position of general in the shortest possible time with his own ability. At that time, Dong Tian, who was a soldier, was full of admiration and love for this female general, but because of his humble status, he had never dared to talk to her, and now that he has become a general, he finally mustered up the courage to talk to her.
"General Fang is resting today?" Dong Tian's face turned red when he spoke, Fang Liyao also heard others talk about Dong Tian, and said with a smile: "That's the case, these generals in our military camp are basically young and vigorous teenagers, and everyone usually doesn't pay attention to what they wear, I found that a lot of their own clothes are torn, so I want to come out and make some clothes for everyone when I have nothing to do today!" Dong Tian nodded and said, "So that's the case! General Fang, you have a heart!"
Fang Liyao said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to ask General Qin to come with me, but she was also busy with official business, so I had to come by myself! But thanks to meeting you, come with me, help me get my clothes in a while!" Dong Tian scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Okay, okay!" Fang Liyao said again: "By the way, don't call General Fang like this in the future, just call him by his name!"
The two soon came to a silk village, because the security in Qincheng was very good, and there were almost no cases of soldiers oppressing the people, so when they saw Dong Tian wearing a military uniform, the male boss of the silk village greeted him warmly, "Two, what kind of fabric do you want?"
Fang Liyao said: "I want some rough-resistant fabrics, mainly for some generals to wear, their clothes are usually not worn!" The boss listened to Fang Liyao's description, and immediately understood their needs, and said, "How much do the two of you need?" Fang Liyao thought for a while and said, "I want the amount of six people!"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll prepare for you!" The boss asked Fang Liyao to sit down, and then prepared by himself, Dong Tian looked around the silk village, and said to the boss: "Boss, the recent business is okay!" I thought that the boss would give a satisfactory answer, but I didn't expect him to sigh. Fang Liyao was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why is the boss sighing!" The boss said: "Originally, the business was good, but recently, I don't know what's going on, there are a lot fewer people who are inexplicable, I really don't understand what's going on!" Dong Tian heard this, and suddenly his whole brain went blank, and the whole person stayed there. Fang Liyao noticed the change in him, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Dong Tian, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Tian came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I finally understand why I feel that something is wrong recently, I only reacted when the boss said this, there are a lot fewer people entering Qincheng these days!" The boss asked: "Why is this happening? It's usually fine!" Dong Tian became nervous, and the other party Li Yao said: "This matter is definitely not as simple as imagined, there must be something wrong, General Fang is really embarrassed, I can't help you get your clothes, I have to go back to the city gate as soon as possible to find out about this matter!" Seeing that Dong Tian was so nervous, Fang Liyao also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he said: "I'll go with you!" Then he turned back to the boss of the silk village and said: "Boss, you keep the fabric I want for first, and I'll come back and get it!" The boss is also a sensible person, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it for you, and you yourself should be more careful!"
Fang Liyao followed Dong Tian to the gate of the city quickly, only to see that there were few people coming in and out, the captain at the gate saw the chief coming, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "General Dong, why are you here!" Seeing that Fang Liyao was still following behind, he also greeted: "General Fang is good!"
Dong Tian didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Has the number of people entering Qincheng decreased greatly in the past few days?" The captain was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, that's the case, there are indeed a lot fewer people recently!" Dong Tian became more and more anxious, and asked again: "Are there any other abnormal situations?" The captain hesitated for a long time, Dong Tian got angry, and said, "Hurry up!" The captain said: "The number of people who have been stopped by us and not allowed to enter the city has increased a lot compared to before!"
"Why is this happening?" Dong Tian asked. The captain said: "Because there are always suspicious points found in these people, either with weapons, or they don't answer anything well, and so on!"
Fang Liyao immediately reacted and said to Dong Tian: "It's bad, this must be someone who has set up a checkpoint on the periphery of our Qin City and restrained everyone!" Dong Tian forcibly calmed himself down, and then the other party Li Yao said: "Trouble General Fang to report this matter to Commander Yue and General Qin, I will take someone to the road ahead to have a look!" Fang Liyao nodded and said, "Then you should be more careful yourself, I will lead troops to support you in a while!" After speaking, the two acted separately.
Dong Tian returned to the barracks and mobilized 500 soldiers and horses out of the city gate, walked not far, and sure enough, he saw someone setting up a roadblock in front of him, and fled in a hurry after seeing them coming, Dong Tian commanded the soldiers to chase after him. As a result, not long after chasing, he was surrounded by a group of people.
"Who are you? How dare you set up a roadcard here!" replied, a small leader on the other side: "Qincheng has such a huge flow of people, it must be much better to set up a roadcard here than in other places!" Dong Tian was furious, and commanded the soldiers to rush forward, he jumped on his horse and took the small leader directly, and after three or two rounds, he killed the other party. The little boss died, but these minions did not disperse in a hurry, and continued to fight with Dong Tian's troops, and Dong Tian, who was not superior in numbers, soon found themselves at a disadvantage.
After a while, the other party's support increased again, and after a leader saw Dong Tian and them, who were gradually depleted, he sat on a stone and ate oranges, and asked, "Who are you? Dare to attack our Heavenly Silkworm Sect's Luka!" After hearing that the other party was a member of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, Dong Tian was taken aback and said, "It turned out to be you scum! Today, I will kill you even if I risk my life!" After saying that, he jumped up from his horse, and the big knife in his hand slashed directly at the other party.
Seeing Dong Tian's violent, the man hurriedly turned over and hid from the stone, and Dong Tian directly split the stone into pieces. The man praised: "Not bad! It seems that there are other masters in Qin City besides Yue Xing and the descendants of the four major legions!" Dong Tian didn't listen to him, and waved the big knife in his hand and slashed over. The leader of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect is none other than Xun Yi, who is here to monitor Qin Cheng's every move and provide information for Zhan Peng, but this Xun Yi is an urgent person, and he has not seen any reaction from Qin Cheng, so he took the initiative to set up a roadblock.
Dong Tian and Xun Yi fought for less than ten rounds, and they were beaten all over their bodies, and at this critical moment, Fang Liyao led the men and horses to kill them. Seeing that Dong Tian was in danger, Fang Liyao took the lead in rushing over, and the two golden maces in his hands waved quickly. "General Dong, are you okay! Hold on, Commander Yue will be here soon!" Fang Liyao's words were actually said to Xun Yi, who hesitated for a moment when he heard the consequences, thinking that if the other party's whole army attacked, he would stop it alone, so he ordered the minions to retreat first.
Fang Liyao didn't chase after her, but checked Dong Tian's injuries first, and the latter stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
After returning to Qincheng, several lords discussed today's matter together, Yue Xing couldn't understand why they had not had any contact with the Heavenly Silkworm Sect for such a long time, but now why they suddenly took the initiative to attack. Qin Fan said: "This is obvious, the other party is provoking us, it seems that the decisive battle with the Heavenly Silkworm Sect is coming!"
Feng Jinming said: "General Qin, don't rush to conclusions, in my opinion, this matter is not so simple!" Yue Xing hurriedly asked, "Have you already seen something? Hurry up!" These people here all know that Feng Jinming is known for his flexible mind, so everyone listens to him in this situation. Feng Jinming said: "If the Heavenly Silkworm Sect wants to start a war with us, it is not enough to attack directly, then their chances of winning will be very large, but why do they want to engage in these things of stealing chickens and dogs? I think they must be diverting our attention!"
"But why are they diverting our attention, what is their purpose in doing this?" Chu Yu asked. Feng Jinming continued: "I think the Heavenly Silkworm Sect must be engaged in activities around our Qin City, and our Qin City will definitely affect them!" Yue Xing slapped the table and said, "What do these scum want to do, in short, no matter what they want to do, we can't let them succeed!"
Just when Yue Xing and they were in a meeting, there was not a single guard outside, which gave some petty thieves a chance, and two black shadows shook in front of the door.
