Chapter 925: Cao Xing in the secret room, the news is returned
Chapter 925: Secret room Cao Xing, news comes back
Shen Tang entered the city, and now Wan Zhiyi, the magistrate, was not there. Shen Tang's arrival caused confusion among the few petty officials in the city. When had they ever seen such a big battle?
However, Shen Tang didn't bother to pay attention to these people. He was merciful by not beheading these people for the time being. If the supervisor is like this, how can these people under him be better?
He asked them to prepare enough food and grass for the army, and Shen Tang temporarily left the wounded soldiers in Daning prison to recuperate, and also left some soldiers and horses to look after them, and then stayed for one night, leading the remaining 14,000 The troops and horses continued to rush towards the direction of Yun'an's army.
As the commander-in-chief of the Yun'an Army, Gu Chengyi is certainly not incompetent! He knew very well how risky what they were doing this time was, so even though he was extremely sure, he still made arrangements just in case.
The first thing is to send his cronies to watch the results of Gu Chengyuan and his party's actions from a distance. No matter what the outcome is, he must ensure that he gets the news as soon as possible so that he can make corresponding preparations.
Secondly, he secretly asked his cronies to gather more than a thousand cronies! Some of his cronies have already followed Gu Chengyuan and others. Not everyone in this military camp is trustworthy.
Once something unexpected happens, these more than a thousand troops will be his biggest trump card.
Ever since Gu Chengyuan and his party went there, Gu Chengyi has locked himself in a big tent. If everything goes well, even if there is a slight deviation, their strength in Daning Prison and Yun'an Prison will be enough to wipe out the situation. Remove all traces.
But if there is an accident, then he will only die!
"General!"
A gentle voice cheered up Gu Chengyi, "What's the matter!"
"A man named Cao Xing wanted to see the general. The younger one kicked him out, but he said that he had something important to do and he had to meet the general! The younger one was afraid of delaying the general's important affairs, so he didn't dare to come and inquire without permission. …”
Gu Chengyi frowned when he heard the news that it was not Xi Ningshan. If it was anyone else, he would definitely not see him at this time.
However, this Cao Xing is a special person.
He was one of his spies, and he had been lurking in the house of the pacifier Sun Letian many years ago. It was this Cao Xing who secretly passed the news to him, including the previous information.
But why did he come to see me?
"Several people?"
"There is only one person, and he is wearing a black robe and can't see his face clearly. He just said that the general will meet him after hearing his name!"
"Go, bring him here, don't let others notice!"
The sound of footsteps faded away, and after tea time, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the camp.
"General, the men have been brought!"
"Let him come in alone!"
Gu Chengyi gently stroked the sword on the table with his palm. The next moment, a man covered in black robe entered the tent!
"Little Cao Xing, meet the master!"
The man in black robe prostrated himself on the ground and pulled off the black robe on his head, revealing a simple and honest face!
Gu Chengyi's eyes fell on Cao Xing, "Cao Xing, I said, unless something big happens, you will never come to see me! If you can't give me a reason, then there is no need for you to go back. .”
Cao Xing trembled and did not dare to raise his head, but he said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I heard that Master Sun suspected that I had murdered the imperial envoy and wanted to take him down for punishment. Time is urgent and I don't dare to pass on the message easily, so I only Can you take the risk and come to see the master!"
"What!"
Gu Chengyi stood up quickly. He did not doubt Cao Xing's words, because although Cao Xing had passed on some news before, he was not aware of the plans of himself and others.
In other words, he could only know about his murder of Shen Tang through Sun Letian.
But how did Sun Letian get the news?
Where did the news leak out?
"Tap, step, step..." The sound of short horse hooves suddenly came from far to near, and did not stop abruptly until outside the camp.
The next moment, a panicked man rushed in and said, "Sir, it's no good, we were defeated at Xining Mountain! I don't know what happened, but countless soldiers and horses suddenly appeared and surrounded all of us. , even the second master, General Li, and Wan Zhijian died directly in the rebellion!"
"boom!"
If Gu Chengyi could still manage to calm down after Cao Xing's arrival, the news was like a thunder exploding in his mind.
After a while, he finally realized what he was doing. He stepped in front of the man and asked sternly, "How is that possible?
Seven thousand five hundred elites and nearly ten thousand brave men, how could they be defeated?"
"As we get closer, the other side suddenly shows up with thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses!"
The man said in horror, "The battle was over before the villain returned. The villain risked his life to find out the news and rushed back immediately!"
Gu Chengyi's expression changed rapidly. He didn't want to believe such a result, but this person was someone close to him and there was no way he could deceive him! In other words, the worst outcome he expected happened.
Shen Tang was safe and sound, and he was exposed. Then, he could only wait for Shen Tang to give him the name of a rebel, and directly mobilize all the troops to kill him!
He does have many friends in Kuizhou, and even the comfort envoy Sun Letian has a close relationship with him. But if it is something else, someone will help him without having to tell him.
But at this time, the first thought of his friends was probably to take Gu Chengyi's head in exchange for a reward from the court! Once the news of the rebellion spread, he would be a piece of shit, and no one wanted to be contaminated by it. odor.
"Gu Zhong! Go and notify Gu Cheng immediately and follow my previous plan! Leave here in half an hour!"
Gu Chengyi gritted his teeth and said.
If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he really won't be able to leave! If Shen Tang is safe and sound, then this matter will soon spread. The faster he goes, the better, and the further the better!
Gu Zhong turned around and left. Gu Chengyi took a deep breath to calm down. Looking at Cao Xing lying on the ground, his heart felt a little softer. After all, he was someone who had been with him for many years, and his loyalty was needless to say.
If he were allowed to go back, he would probably die.
"Cao Xing, you can follow me directly from now on!"
Cao Xing raised his head with surprise on his face, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
He kowtowed vigorously, and even though his forehead was bleeding on the stone slab under his feet, the joy on his face was not diminished at all!
Gu Chengyi was a little touched that he was still so loyal to him at this time. He was not wrong about the person!
"Although you have always been with Sun Letian, you are also my confidant! No matter when, as long as I am still alive, I will naturally not treat you badly.
Don’t worry, even if I leave here, the money I have accumulated is enough for all my brothers to be prosperous, and we can come back soon!”
