Fusu calmly ordered the cavalry captain who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, "Hurry and deal with those people."
Hearing that Fusu's voice did not contain anger, the kneeling team leader stood up cautiously, "General, I will obey!"
Then I quickly asked someone to deal with the eight idiots on the ground.
Fusu didn't say how to deal with these people, he just meant how to deal with them.
The middle-level officers in the Golden Fire Cavalry know this process very well.
If someone is suspected of assassinating the eldest son, he must not be killed directly, or even allowed to die. He must be tortured severely to find out who is the mastermind behind the assassination.
Of course, whether it can be tortured is another matter. How to deal with it in the end depends on the meaning above. People at their level are only responsible for execution.
Fusu didn't care much about the eight comedian-like robbers, and he wasn't very interested in finding out the real culprit behind the scenes. The purpose he wanted to achieve by 'taking' this risk has been achieved.
Everything else doesn't matter.
At this time, greater noise came from the direction close to Songhai City.
Another team of Golden Fire Cavalry has arrived, but this time there are more people, and the leader has a higher status - the Imperial General Meng Tian.
To say that Meng Tian is also very busy today, to be precise, he has not stopped much since last night.
Because of the strange things happening without wind and waves, people in the city were panicking. Coupled with the strict control over the past few days, Meng Tian was worried about causing trouble and had to keep an eye on it.
I almost didn't sleep all night.
At the same time, we received news that Mirage would be delaying its arrival at Songhai due to the waves.
This news is not a bad thing for him. This way, cleaning up the Songhai port and preparing for the arrival of the mirage can be postponed for a while until he has the situation in the city completely under control.
But this way, he couldn't take rest during the day and had to continue working.
Then he also paid attention to Fusu's arrival.
And then...he learned the news about the attack on Fusu.
Meng Tian's face turned green with anger!
Yes, angry!
He was not scared to death like the middle-level officer he sent to rescue Fusu. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything. He was angry with the group of assassins and himself.
Meng Tian knew very well how powerful Liusha under Gu Xun was, and he also understood that the eldest son, who was protected by both Liusha and the Shadow Guard, would never get into trouble easily.
But the problem is that although nothing will happen to people, the assassination actually happened, and it happened near Songhai City.
He led so many soldiers and took control of Songhai City for so many days. Logically speaking, he should have eliminated all possible threats around him, but in the end, the dignified eldest son of the empire was assassinated under his nose.
This omission was enough for Fusu to punish him - it was still a good thing that Fusu was assassinated. If the First Emperor came to visit and caused such a situation in the future, it would not be unfair to kill him!
How can Meng Tian not be angry or annoyed by this?
In anger, he simply abandoned the trivial matters in the city and ran over with all the remaining Golden Fire Cavalry to pick up Fusu.
Meng Tian dismounted and came over. Without saying a word, he first kicked down the officer who had just apologized, then dragged him directly to Fusu, and then knelt down on one knee to apologize:
"The attack on His Highness was due to the general's negligence, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of."
"And this piece of trash! If you don't protect him well and save him too late, you will never be able to redeem yourself even if you die!"
"But in the final analysis, the general hired someone inappropriately. The fault lies with me. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Listening to these words, you can tell that although Meng Tian's kick didn't take away any energy, and he kicked the person so hard that he can't even speak, but he actually planned to take all the blame on himself.
In the final analysis, these soldiers were following orders and there was nothing wrong with them. It was just bad luck.
If anyone is at fault, it’s Mengtian’s fault - who made him fail to clean up the area around Songhai?
Don't worry about who those killers are, in short, they emerged around Songhai, which is Meng Tian's unshirkable responsibility.
Seeing this, Fusu quickly helped Meng Tian up and said with a smile, "When I was assassinated, the blame fell on those sneaky villains hiding in the dark. How could the general be blamed?"
"I'm ashamed of myself!" Fusu came to help him personally. Of course Meng Tian couldn't compete with the eldest son, so he could only follow the trend, looking quite embarrassed.
He was really embarrassed. He had repeatedly promised Gu Xun that he had made arrangements and there would be no problems, but in the end there was still a problem...
Fusu arranged for the soldiers to help the unlucky officer who had been kicked by Meng Tian to calm down, then directly got on his white horse and said to Meng Tian:
"General Meng, take me into the city first."
"Yes, General Mo was negligent."
When Meng Tian heard this, he quickly mounted his horse, then left a group of people to clean up the front and rear, and finally led a large group of people to protect Fusu and headed towards Songhai City.
Although the chance of Fusu being attacked again was close to zero, Meng Tian still chose the safest protection plan - letting his thousands of golden fire cavalry gather together like a human wall, wrapping Fusu in the center.
When Fusu saw this formation, he couldn't laugh or cry, "General Meng, I think nothing will happen. There is no need to create... such a huge formation."
"Safety comes first, safety comes first..."
Seeing that Meng Tian was determined, Fusu didn't try to persuade him. Anyway... he just walked slower.
Fusu talked about the people who saved him before, "General Meng, I was able to escape just now, thanks to two benefactors who saved me..."
After listening to Fusu's narration, Meng Tian nodded repeatedly, "So that's it. Your Highness is indeed blessed by heaven and earth. If you are in danger, there will be noble people to help you!"
First, he flattered me for free - General Meng is also a human being. Faced with the target of his choice, he must lower his posture, and then let’s talk about the main topic:
"So, His Highness needs the general to find these two people, right?"
Fusu nodded, "That's right."
"They have been kind to me, and they have to repay me no matter what."
"However, judging from the attitudes of the two of them, they may be indifferent to fame and fortune and don't like to be disturbed by others. Therefore, I hope that General Meng can be more secretive when looking for people, without making too much fanfare, and there is no need to send people to contact them.
."
"If you find it, just tell me."
"You will eventually understand."
………………
"Huh... we're finally here!" Looking at the looming small village not far away, Tianming put his hands on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief.
The distance between the Mohist stronghold and Songhai City is not too far, but it is not really close either. It is quite tiring to walk all the way there.
A thick layer of sweat broke out on Tianming's head.
On the contrary, Xunzi, who has reached the age of 10, does not blush or pant, and does not even shake his waist.
Xunzi looked at the small village from a distance with a smile, and asked Tianming, "Is this here?"
"Yes!" Tianming's voice was filled with obvious excitement and relief, "Just walk further in and we'll be there."
