The veteran who didn't know Chang Suining yet was secretly wondering, "How can a girl carry a sack with her when she goes out?" Chang Ren had already taken the sack and said to A Zhi: "Which flower house, please lead the way."
Ah Zhi nodded, Chang Ren ordered two more people to follow, and the four of them left quickly.
When we turned back again, it was late at night.
Several black shadows came from the back wall of the inn, making almost no sound in the night.
The lights were not turned off in Chang Suining's guest room. When Chang Ren and the others came back, three tied sacks were thrown on the ground. They were empty when they left, but everything was there when they returned.
The person in the sack had been knocked unconscious and was motionless at the moment. Only the pungent smell of alcohol came out through the sack.
"Girl, do you want to pour the person out and wake him up for questioning?" Ah Che, who has always been proactive and willing to do so, was eager to give it a try.
"No need." Chang Ren took out the things and said: "Before they fainted, they were asked about the errands they had to do when they entered the city. They were going into the city to purchase this time. The purchase order is here, and the purchase gold and waist badges are also here.
Handed it over."
Chang Suining took the purchase order, glanced at it, and then looked at the three sacks: "Take off their coats first."
Ache quickly complied.
Chang Suining took a look at the general appearance and body shape of the three people. One of them was still very young and not tall. The other two, one was strong and the other was lanky, were both in their thirties or forties.
Chang Sui Ning put on the shortest man's coat and felt the smell of alcohol fuming his brain.
She pointed at Chang Ren and another close follower, and put on the clothes of the other two.
"Uncle Kang, after the three of us cover up our appearance, we will go to the inn where they are staying to rest at night. You guys stay here and wait for news."
"Is the girl going to sneak into the camp on their behalf?" Lao Kang frowned: "How can this be done? The girl has never been to the camp and doesn't know the rules in the military camp. She will be exposed easily. This move is too dangerous. It is still dangerous.
Let your subordinates do it!"
"It doesn't matter. I learn things very quickly. I can just ask Uncle Ren to teach me on the way."
The girl's demeanor and words were gentle, but there was an invisible sense of indignity.
A Dian patted Lao Kang on the shoulder, imitating whose tone he didn't know, and said earnestly: "Uncle Kang, you are already so old, it's time for you to be old and confused. You should be good when you go out and listen to the words of young people.
Yes! Look, I didn’t even bother to follow you!"
Lao Kang: "..."
Chang Ren and Lao Kang promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the girl."
This was actually just a lie to the old man. After all, in his opinion, the girl might be more likely to protect him.
Lao Kang sighed and had no choice but to ask: "What do you plan to do with these three people?"
People will wake up sooner or later, and hiding in this inn where people come and go is not an option.
It was absolutely impossible to let them go, but Chang Sui Ning didn't feel that these three people had reached the point where they should be killed, so he thought of a kind way to make the best use of everything.
She secretly ordered a villa to be built near Shouzhou to house Lao Chang's abundant wealth. For the sake of concealment, she has recently ordered people to build warehouses and dig secret tunnels.
"Send them to dig the soil and take care of the food."
…
The next day, the three people who had been stripped down to their inner clothes woke up from the cold. When they opened their eyes, they were in a strange place.
They tried to escape in vain, and after being beaten severely, someone threw them three shabby coats, three steamed buns, and three shovels.
The three of them were horrified and wanted to cry. This had actually fallen into the hands of the gangsters who were running a black mine?!
…
While the three of them were forced to bury themselves in the dirt, three others were already wearing their military uniforms and driving their carriage back to the camp outside Shouzhou City.
When the carriage approached, several soldiers guarding the camp gate were talking.
"Just now, General Chu sent people back to collect food and grass..."
"The grain and grass sent from the capital are still on the way. How can there be any grain and grass in the camp that can be sent to them?"
"Didn't I hear a few days ago that someone from the Chang family just sent a batch of grain and grass?"
"Speaking of which, I don't know how injured General Chang is now..."
Several people were talking and seemed to be inexplicably uneasy. When they saw the carriage approaching, they raised their hands to stop it.
The three "soldiers" who returned to the camp handed over their waist badges and the documents given by the camp when they went out to purchase.
The soldiers guarding the camp opened the oilcloth on the carriage as usual and checked the items they purchased. After making sure there was nothing unusual, they waved their hands.
The three of them led the carriage and headed towards the camp.
The carriage wheels had just rolled a few times when they suddenly heard the voices of the soldiers guarding the camp behind them: "Wait a minute."
Among the three people, the leader Chang Ren suddenly mentioned it in his heart.
The soldier who spoke had already walked towards them.
"That's not right." The soldier looked at Chang Ren: "You left the camp and entered the city yesterday, right? Why did you delay coming back until now?"
Chang Ren said hurriedly: "I entered the city late yesterday and many shops were closed. I won't have time to buy everything in the future..."
The soldier laughed inexplicably: "Really?"
As he spoke, the look in his eyes became even more serious.
At this time, the remaining soldiers also came over.
Chang Ren's heart was beating fast, and just when he was thinking about what to say, the young "little soldier" behind him quickly walked forward.
"Next time, you must pay attention to the time. This time, I will ask some big brothers to make it easier..." He lowered his voice and hurriedly stuffed a money bag into it.
The soldiers guarding the camp raised their eyebrows and looked at him.
This soldier was young, with slightly dark complexion, a pair of beady eyes and a smile.
The guarding soldier looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he took the money bag and his expression finally softened.
He smiled and cursed again: "Next time? What a wonderful idea, why is it that this fat guy like you always gets his turn every day?"
"That's right!" Another soldier guarding the camp smiled and kicked the "little soldier": "This little body looks weak, how dare you imitate others and run into the city to steal happiness?"
"Xiao Bing" laughed and did not defend or refute.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A few people benefited from it, and after a few jokes and curses, they were let go: "Okay, let's go."
The "little soldier" thanked him again, and then he and his two other companions pulled the cart into the camp.
Hearing the voices behind him fade away, Chang Ren breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at his girl who had blackened her face and was pretending to be a soldier.
Fortunately, the girl was alert.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the camp. It is impossible for everyone to know each other. Patrols and guards will be changed every day. Logically speaking, even if those people think they are strangers, they will not be able to tell that they are fake.
Yes, but it’s hard to say if it’s been delayed for a long time...
Fortunately, the girl responded promptly.
What did he say when he came, that the girl was still protecting him...
But Panasonic's tone lasted only for a moment. Chang Ren quickly calmed down. Entering the camp was only the first step. In other words, you have to be more careful when you enter the military camp. Otherwise, if someone notices something strange, how will you die?
Do not know at all.
After pulling the carriage through a gravel road, they met two teams of patrolling soldiers. Seeing the scattered camps right in front of them, they soon encountered the first unavoidable problem - how to deliver the purchased items.
Where to go?
Everyone is busy with their own errands. It is impossible for anyone to be waiting to guide them, and they are even less likely to ask for directions.
"Follow me." Chang Sui Ning said in a low voice without squinting his eyes.
During wartime, due to strategic considerations, the layout and location of each camp were mostly similar.
And she was very sure which camp the purchase was going to.
Chang Ren and Chang Ren pushed the cart forward and followed Chang Suining without looking too much along the way.
But Chang Ren couldn't help but have doubts in his heart - why did the girl seem to be so familiar with everything in the military camp?
"Why did you come back!"
When a few people were about to approach a large tent, they saw armored soldiers guarding outside the tent walking forward quickly and scolding unhappily: "You dare to neglect even the things in the commander's account. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and asked people to come forward: "Hurry up and move everything in!"
Chang Suining and others rushed to help, but they did not dare to raise their heads in the face of the soldier's yelling and scolding.
But even if they helped, they only unloaded the things from the car. Soldiers with no rank like them were usually not allowed to enter the commander's camp.
Yes, these things were bought for Li Yicai.
Chang Suining had already guessed it when he saw Nacai paying the bill last night.
There are things on the list that Li Yi has been using since he was young, and the only people who can make this special exception are the commanders or deputy generals in the army.
And since it is a special case, it is originally illegal. Although the food used and eaten by high-ranking generals while marching will be given preferential treatment, it is based on selecting the best based on the food distributed in the army, not ordering.
Soldiers enter the city to purchase additional items.
What Li Yi did was not what a qualified coach should do.
What goes up is effective when going down. Looking at this all the way, it is clear that the atmosphere in the military is really bad.
Although he was unable to follow him, Chang Suining took advantage of the gap between the tent door being opened and took a few quick glances into the tent. He saw a man in his early thirties wearing armor and standing in the tent.
Pacing back and forth inside, it was Li Yi.
There were two other people who looked like scribes and staff standing aside, seemingly discussing matters.
Perhaps because the curtains were raised, they temporarily stopped talking, but Li Yi, who was walking back and forth, seemed anxious about something.
After the things were unloaded, the armored soldier pointed at Chang Suining and the others: "You three delayed your return to the camp. Go to the school grounds and tie up sandbags and run ten laps each!"
The three of them immediately said "yes" and turned around to head towards the school grounds.
The school ground is the largest open space in the camp, and the three of them saw it when they arrived.
Although he had to be punished on behalf of others, Chang Suining optimistically felt that there was nothing wrong with being punished to run laps at this time. At least he didn't have to worry about the possibility of being found out when he returned to his usual position.
.
Chang Sui Ning planned to go for a quick run first. After ten laps, the sky would have darkened. It would be easier to do things in the dark. Then he would go to Fengfankuo in secret.
But on the way to the school grounds, the three of them suddenly had an accident.
This started when the three of them were about to leave, when a soldier came quickly to spread the word.
"Commander, there are imperial envoys coming from the capital!"
Hearing what the soldier said, Li Yi's face was shocked. He subconsciously looked at the two staff members. After exchanging glances with them, his expression calmed down and he said, "Please come quickly."
Soon, a group of people dressed as eunuchs and a tall middle-aged man walked into Li Yi's tent.
While the two parties were greeting each other, Li Yi's eyes fell on the middle-aged man, and he felt a sudden coldness in his heart.
This is General Huaihua He Wei...
He Wei handed over to him: "General Li, long time no see."
"General He." Li Yi showed a hint of surprise and asked quickly: "I didn't know that General He and you all came to Shouzhou. Why didn't someone inform me of such a big event in advance? I'd better have someone greet me in advance!"
"
The leading eunuch explained: "General Li is leading his troops outside and is busy with everything. Now that the war is so tense, how can we allow the army to wait in a more extravagant manner?"
Li Yi was still a little embarrassed: "It's me who missed the mark after all!"
But my heart was filled with chills.
Why don't you want to be extravagant? It's obvious that you came in secret and wanted to catch him off guard when he was defenseless!
No wonder we arrived in Shouzhou today. I must have taken a detour to avoid being heard along the way.
The man really didn't lie to him in the letter...
Someone secretly told him that the saint suppressed Yi Shuai's proposals for him on the surface, but it was just a cover-up. In fact, the saint not only wanted to replace him, but also asked him to return to Huainan Road to mourn for three years...
After his father died of illness, the saint took the opportunity to take back most of the troops and horses in Huainan Road.
His father has more than one son. The title of King Huainan belongs to his elder brother. However, he has been in the capital for many years and has no foundation in Huainan Road. If he goes back now, he is destined to get nothing...
And he was cautious and cautious in the capital, and worked hard for many years to get the position of General Wei of the Left Army. After this incident, he will definitely be taken back by the saint... Everything he has paid over the years will be in vain!
His father is no longer here, and now he has returned to the Huainan Palace in despair. He can only rely on his elder brother to breathe, and continue to live the humiliating days of his childhood...
Li Yi's heart was turbulent, but he was very polite and asked the group to sit down and rest.
The leading official said with a smile: "There is no need to sit down, our family is here under the will of the saint..."
Li Yi's face straightened and he was about to salute and prepare to listen to the eunuch's edict when he suddenly heard He Wei ask: "By the way, why haven't you seen General Chang?"
"In the previous battle, General Chang was hit by an arrow while trying to save me. He is still recovering from his injuries." Li Yi looked a little guilty when he said this.
He Wei hurriedly asked: "How is the recovery from the injury?"
"The arrow wound was not serious at first, but General Chang had a lot of old wounds, so he suddenly relapsed..." Li Yi said: "The military doctor told him to rest."
According to common sense, when the word "rest" is heard, the topic should be stopped, but He Wei said: "General Chang and I are old acquaintances, and I would like to visit. I will come back as soon as I go.
It would be too much of a disturbance.”
The chamberlain servant He Wei faintly sensed something was wrong in his insistence, and with a smile in his eyes, he said: "When we came here, the saint also specifically told us to bring a few words to General Chang... Since General Chang is injured,
If you are unable to move, please ask General Li to have someone lead the way."
When Li Yi heard this, he knew there was no room for refusal.
He thought that he knew why He Wei and the others had to see Chang Kuo first...
Once He Wei and others met with Chang Kuo, and after receiving the support of Chang Kuo, a well-known deputy general, and then showing the imperial edict, they could force him to hand over his military power as commander-in-chief.
This is the safest way for He Wei and others to prevent the foreign king from having his orders.
This is one of the reasons why he recently chose to place Chang Kuo under house arrest.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to let He Wei and others see Chang Kuo.
Meeting He Wei's seemingly calm gaze, Li Yi seemed to think about it for a moment, and finally nodded: "In that case, you can just follow me."
He personally led the way and led He Wei and his party out of the camp.
The commander's camp is not far from the lieutenant's camp, but this seemingly short journey can lead to unexpected changes.
