Chapter 27 General Rice

Di Hong walked at the front with a tall horse. He glanced at the corpses on the ground proudly, as if he knew everything.

"General, this is the boy!"

"Yes, he was with the murderer earlier, so he must be an accomplice! I don't know where he got the clothes from, and he actually wanted to disguise himself as a soldier to deceive the general!"

Several deserters who were mixed up in the cavalry team pointed their fingers at Jiang Chen as soon as they came up.

On the way to Ziyang City, they thought more and more something was wrong, and then they suddenly realized, why did Jiang Chen's face look so familiar?

Isn't this the same kid who was with the murderer?

So they told Di Hong the truth of the matter and quickly killed him, only then they saw the bodies of these killed bandits.

Jiang Chen simply asked the man who had just helped him to quickly escape into the dense forest without letting Di Hong and others run into him. But what he had to face next was a very dangerous situation.

"What else do you have to say?"

"In my opinion, you and these dead people are enemy spies who have infiltrated among the refugees. There was an internal strife between you just now, which resulted in killing each other and leaving corpses everywhere. Am I right?"

Jiang Chen thought to himself: You are an idiot who only talks nonsense and does nothing serious. When you turn around, you should really ask the court to give you the title of General Freeloader!

He noticed that the refugees had scattered everywhere because of the fighting just now. Even if he wanted to fight next, they would not be affected. This allowed him to deal with this group of officers and soldiers without any worries.

"General Di, right?"

"Since you are so worried about enemy spies sneaking into Ziyang City where you are guarding, then why not ask these deserters which general they belong to? And why did they come here?"

Jiang Chen identified the six deserters one by one, and then said: "If I am a spy of the enemy country, then no matter in terms of origin or identity, some of them look more suspicious, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you make trouble when you are about to die? You want to frame us, right? I will send you to see the King of Hell right now!"

One of the deserters swung the knife in his hand and was about to attack Jiang Chen, but his move was stopped by Di Hong loudly.

"Wait! Who has the final say here? Is it your turn to deal with him without permission?"

"Yes, General! But this boy's words cannot be trusted. Please tell me, General!"

Jiang Chen held his chest high, put on a righteous and solemn posture, cupped his hands and said to Di Hong: "General, you have wronged me for being insignificant, but if I am really infiltrated by enemy spies, then Ziyang will be in trouble.

"

"This is not alarmist. News has spread that some enemy spies have infiltrated the refugees going south, and along the way they inquired about our terrain, city defenses and garrison deployment."

"I think it's better to find out something first. I, Jiang Chen, have nothing to hide. I am definitely from Shangguan Town, a hundred miles to the west. If you don't believe me, just send someone to verify it."

"Then I would like to ask, why do these six people wearing the uniforms of the Border Army appear in the southern territory thousands of miles away?"

Jiang Chen spoke forcefully and argued hard, which made Di Hong feel a little scared.

Because Jiang Chen has long seen that this Di Hong is a suspicious, timid person, and as long as he uses a few words to clarify his interests, he will definitely be shaken.

Now Di Hong's eyes when looking at these six people have become quite hesitant, and his reaction is exactly what Jiang Chen wants to see.

"General, this guy is sowing discord, why not kill him as soon as possible? Have you forgotten that he just lied about bandits? He is clearly lying about the military situation and has ulterior motives!"

At this time, Di Hong was finally not confused. He could still tell whether he was a bandit or not.

He saw that the horses around him were tied with the unique copper bells of bandits, which showed that the corpses lying on the ground were undoubtedly bandits.

After calming down, Di Hong asked: "Did you kill all these people?"

Jiang Chen replied: "Xiaomin doesn't have such ability. They had a dispute with each other just now and died together in the end."

Although this answer was a bit far-fetched, Di Hong observed that Jiang Chen had a bookish air and his appearance was fair and lean. He didn't look like a man who danced with guns and sticks.

So Di Hong believed Jiang Chen's explanation in his heart, and Jiang Chen's doubts about these deserters also gained some credibility in his mind.

"Okay, I also think that you are an honest and honest poor scholar, and you will not do those traitorous things to seek glory, because you don't have the courage at all!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Following Dihong's laughter, he turned his attention to the six deserters.

"You guys should tell me, who is he serving? He is obviously wearing the uniform of the border town army, but he appears in the southern border for no reason. What is the reason for this?"

"If you don't tell me clearly, I will treat you as spies!"

Di Hong scolded them harshly, frightening these guys to the point where their hair stood on end, and they did not dare to hide anything.

When they mentioned that they were under the command of General Wang, and that they came here by accident because they lost their way after being defeated, Di Hong's expression quickly darkened.

"So you are really deserters!"

"General, spare your life. At that time...our team had been routed by the enemy, and everyone fled for their lives. Although we served our country loyally, there was nothing we could do!"

"Yes, yes, we are really separated, there is no way to get back to the team!"

These people gave explanations one after another, but a cowardly and incompetent person like Dihong did not dare to take any risks. Since the intentions of these people were unclear and they could not provide any factual evidence, he would not keep them by his side.

Jiang Chen decided to send these six deserters away with one sentence at this time.

I only heard him say to Di Hong: "Even if what they said is part of the truth, there is one thing that is contradictory. Since they said that they were eager to serve the country, they came to the southern border because the army was defeated and had nowhere to be found."

"So there are so many passes and cities along the way. If they join the local army nearby, wouldn't they have the opportunity to take revenge? They wouldn't have to follow the refugees all the way south and hide here, right?"

There was murderous intent in Di Hong's eyes. These words could not have made it clearer. Even if they were really under General Wang's command, they were still out-and-out deserters.

In Daqian, there is only one fate for being a deserter: killing without mercy!

"Come here, bring these six bastards who escaped from the battlefield to justice on the spot. It's because of these shameless scoundrels that I am in the current predicament."
