Chapter 1028 Separation Seven
"What did Tuoba Hong do here so early in the morning?" Tu Danlin asked in confusion as he walked into the barracks.
"Let's chat casually. We said we were sending the siege army out of the camp and stopped by to take a look." Mu Yunhuan casually sat back on the chair.
Tu Shanlin said "Oh" and sat down, minding his own business. He was also half of Mu Yunhuan's uncle. There was no need for too much etiquette between the two of them when no one was around.
"Tuoba Hong's attitude is quite good." Mu Yunhuan said with a smile:
"He also said that he caught several Liangjun spies at night and came to ask me if I was disturbed."
Mu Yunhuan's words revealed satisfaction both inside and outside. It would be great if all the generals in the army treated him like Tuoba Hong.
"What? A spy from the Liang Army?" Tu Danlin's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Mu Yunhuan looked at Tu Danlin's expression and nodded doubtfully:
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Tu Danlin said hesitantly: "I just went around the military camp and checked last night's patrol. Nothing happened last night. Where did the Liang Army spies come from?"
"Uncle, did you make a mistake?" Mu Yunhuan spread his hands and said:
"Is it possible that Tuoba Hongda came here this morning just to tell such a meaningless lie?"
Mu Yunhuan didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all.
"Your Highness, we are walking on thin ice now and cannot be careless at all." Tu Danlin said seriously.
This expedition was of great significance. In order for Mu Yunhuan to regain military power, the Tushan family paid a huge price.
Tu Shanyan, who was far away in the grassland, even sent a secret letter in a few days, telling Tu Shanlin to take good care of Mu Yunhuan and never cause any problems again.
So Tu Danlin will be extremely nervous if there is any disturbance.
"Okay~" Mu Yunhuan curled his lips helplessly: "Then why does uncle think Tuoba Hong lied to me?"
"I don't know about that. What else did Tuoba Hong say? Let's hear it all." Tu Danlin sat up and asked.
Seeing that Tu Shanlin was taking it seriously, Mu Yunhuan had no choice but to repeat the conversation between the two as much as possible.
After listening, Tu Danlin frowned and pondered, while Mu Yunhuan still looked indifferent.
So what if Tuoba Hong deceived him? He might just find a topic to express his concern, which is also a goodwill gesture.
Since Tuoba Hong showed his favor to him, he could just accept the order.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong~" Tu Danlin walked inside the tent with his hands behind his back, still talking plausibly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yunhuan asked with a frown. He felt that Tu Danlin was too suspicious.
"Your Highness, don't you think Tuoba Hong was too enthusiastic during the whole chat? This is not like his character." Tu Danlin asked.
Mu Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, Tuoba Hong was indeed a bit more enthusiastic than usual.
Moreover, everything he said was a bit flattering, especially the part where he praised himself as being better than Chen Yue, which was too flattering.
Tu Shanlin continued: "Tuoba Hong looks upright, but he is actually calm and thoughtful, otherwise he would not be where he is today.
He has always been a neutral faction in the fight for the throne, and is neither close to the prince nor to us. When did he become so enthusiastic about His Highness?"
Mu Yunhuan nodded doubtfully, as if something was wrong.
"But this doesn't seem to mean anything, right?" Mu Yunhuan asked doubtfully.
You can't let others doubt you when someone is kind to you, then how can you live your life?
Tu Danlin immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "You can't be careless. There must be a monster if something goes wrong. I'd better go and find out the news. I hope we are overthinking."
Mu Yunhuan nodded: "I'm sorry, uncle."
"Damn, we are all a family, why are you talking about this?" Tu Danlin grinned and walked out of the tent.
Mu Yunhuan, who was left alone in the tent, was thinking about the conversation he had just had with Tuoba Hong.
It seems that Tuoba Hong’s chat focused on mentioning Chenyue and Shuofeng City many times. Does this mean anything?
The fact that he was spared by Xue Tian in Shuofeng City was a taboo in his heart and must not be known to others.
Faintly, an unknown premonition emerged from the bottom of Mu Yunhuan's heart.
…
Tuoba Hong sat in his tent with pen and ink in front of him.
This matter is so big that if it is just a false alarm, it will be nothing more than a false alarm. If it is true, the country will be in chaos.
After hesitating for a long time, Tuoba Hong finally picked up the pen. This matter had to be reported to Mu Yun Duankang so that His Highness the Crown Prince could make up his mind.
Although it might provoke a fight between the princes, Tuoba Hong couldn't control that much for the safety of his army.
At the same time, he was also waiting. If the messenger was caught, he should be able to ask for some useful information.
…
At the gate of the Yan Army's camp, a team of coachmen pulling many flatbed trucks was leaving the camp, and there were many soldiers nearby helping to push the trucks.
The carts were loaded with large rocks, crossbows and other ordnance, which were to be sent to the front line for use by the siege army.
Si Yangshuo was also among this group of people, falling behind the convoy and pushing the cart hard, his face covered with dirt and sweat.
When he found the way to the camp, he found that the guards at several camp entrances had been strengthened. He immediately deduced that the Yan army was looking for him.
So he didn't dare to go out rashly. After wandering around, he found such a convoy and planned to get out.
But when he glanced around, he saw a familiar face standing not far from the camp entrance.
Darahan!
It's true that enemies are on the same road.
Si Yangshuo gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. If he stayed in the camp, he would be found out sooner or later, so he could only take a chance.
Dalahan happened to be guarding the entrance of the camp with a small group of people, constantly looking at every soldier who came out of the camp.
He believed that the spy was still hiding in Mu Yunhuan's camp, but it was difficult to break in and search, so he could only take people to the camp gate to try his luck.
Moreover, when he was looking for someone, he couldn't make a big show of it, lest he attract Mu Yunhuan's attention.
"Crunch, crunch~"
The convoy moved forward slowly, and the soldiers pulling the cart were sweating on their foreheads. The rocks loaded in the cart were not light.
Dalahan glanced at the convoy casually and turned his head away. Si Yangshuo, who had his head lowered, did not attract his attention.
Soon, a convoy of dozens of flatbed trucks left the barracks and headed into the distance along the solid road.
"Hoo~"
Si Yangshuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally came out.
"Young man is very strong. He will definitely be a fierce soldier on horseback in the future!" A veteran who was pulling the cart turned his head and gave Si Yangshuo a thumbs up.
Si Yangshuo was a little relaxed at this moment and said with a hearty smile:
"Harmful, it's just a little brute force. Who doesn't have a young age?"
Coincidentally, these words were heard by Dalahan who was about to leave.
This familiar voice made Darahan's face instantly darken, and he suddenly turned his head and shouted:
"The convoy stops!"
Chapter completed!
