Lin Ze improvised and made up a story, delayed it for a few days, and after sending Yingyang and the others away, he murmured: "The news hasn't come yet? I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for too long."
Lin Ze looked at the direction of Chang'an City, then looked at the direction of the Wei Mansion, and asked Chen Ping to call him and asked, "Have the arrangements been made in Chang'an?"
Chen Ping thought for a while and replied: "According to the time, the ten waves of people arranged by my uncle have rushed thousands of miles to Chang'an in the past. They should have arrived today. If there is clear news, they are probably ready to return."
Lin Ze thought thoughtfully after hearing this: "It seems that we have to wait at least two or three days. Have people been guarded at all the important roads leading to and from Shangqiu County?"
Chen Ping replied: "My nephew has been arranging this matter for the past two days. If there is any trouble, news will naturally come through."
Lin Ze was silent.
…
The next day, in the Imperial Guard camp, rumors suddenly arose that the general Hu Hai had been captured by Wei Yang.
Soon the news spread throughout the camp, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were talking about it. Some of them were even bolder and asked around with some background.
As the main generals, Yingyang and the others naturally got the news, and the three of them gathered together that day.
Just listen to Yingyang say angrily: "What's going on? Aren't you blocking the news? Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble?"
Commander Gao Zhuang said with a gloomy face: "Apart from the three of us, only Lin Ze and the others know. Could it be that they leaked the news?"
The tall and lanky commander said coldly: "Don't accuse me wrongly. Before we knew about it, they kept it a secret very well. But after we knew about it, we immediately leaked it. Isn't it obvious who did it?"
Commander Gao Zhuang's expression changed when he heard this: "Are you doubting me?"
The tall and thin commander replied: "I know who does it."
Commander Gao Zhuang: "You..."
Yingyang couldn't help but shouted: "Okay, please stop saying a few words. Don't forget that in addition to the three of us, there is also a group of personal guards. Maybe someone failed to keep their mouths shut. Things have happened. Find a way.
Making up for it is the right answer.”
The tall and thin commander said angrily: "Now that the whole camp has spread, how can we make up for it? Can we stop everyone from talking about it?"
Ying Yang said in a deep voice: "Now that things have come to a point, we can only seal off the camp. No one can leave the camp without the orders of the three of me."
The other two people looked at each other and sighed: "It seems that this is the only way."
However, the matter was far beyond the control of the three. In the afternoon, someone came to report at the camp gate, and seven commanders from the other three camps came together, saying that they wanted to pay a visit to the general, Mr. Hu Hai.
Yingyang's face turned extremely gloomy on the spot. If anyone told him that the news was leaked unintentionally, he would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.
Yingyang was even slightly panicked. Someone might be doing this for Hu Hai. If you dig deeper, who would deliberately target Hu Hai?
Yingyang didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He was afraid that he would have to resist the current plan. Anyway, the seven people outside had only heard about it and were not sure, so he directly ordered: "Tell them that Mr. Hu Hai is at the critical point of martial arts training."
You can’t see them for a while and let them go back.”
It is a law of the Qin Dynasty that no one other than His Majesty or his direct superiors may break into other people's military camps without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order may be killed on the spot.
Yingyang Du and others did not dare to force it, and at the same time prayed that Lin Ze would handle the matter quickly.
At the gate of the military camp, the other seven commanders of the Forbidden Army received a reply that they were not allowed to enter the camp. Their expressions turned gloomy on the spot. They were determined to break in, but were afraid of Qin Lu, so they had to retreat.
Soon Lin Ze in the city received the news from the camp, and said angrily: "A group of guys who are not successful enough but are prone to failure. But this Yingyang still has some courage."
…
On the morning of the third day, several soldiers suddenly ran to the main camp covered in blood and shouted loudly: "The North Gate camp was attacked by the enemy. I came here to ask Mr. Hu Hai to send someone to rescue him."
The soldiers guarding the camp looked over and saw that smoke was indeed burning at the north gate of Shangqiu City. They immediately opened the camp door and let the soldiers in.
I saw these soldiers covered in blood thanking the soldiers guarding the camp, then immediately rushed into the camp and disappeared.
However, the soldiers guarding the camp were stunned for a moment, looking at the seriously injured people, how could they act like nothing happened?
Those soldiers went straight to the general's camp separately, causing other soldiers in the main camp to look at them sideways, but few of them found it strange.
Several people rushed to the general's tent and took a look. Sure enough, there was no one inside. They looked at each other and one of them sneered, "I'll see what Yingyang tells us."
Another person responded: "Let's go find Yingyang and see what he says."
These soldiers were apparently the commanders of the other three camps.
Somewhere in the camp, Yingyang was handling military affairs. Suddenly, the voice of his own bodyguard came from outside: "Stop, what are you doing?"
It turned into shouting: "Here comes someone with a thorn..." and then the shout was interrupted.
Yingyang stood up immediately after hearing this: "Who dares to act so recklessly in the camp?"
Then the camp door was pushed open, and the seven commanders of the Imperial Guard lined up in a row, looking at Ying Yang coldly, the first one said: "Ying Yang, you are so brave, you dare to conceal the disappearance of the general in private.
"
Yingyang exclaimed: "Is it you? How did you get in? How dare you break into the military camp privately?"
The leader sneered at Dao: "A few of us were let in by the soldiers guarding the camp. Commander Yingyang, don't slander us."
The other one said: "Okay, without further ado, Yingyang, where did Mr. Hu Hai go? Why didn't he attack for so long? Is the rumor true? Mr. Hu Hai was captured by Wei Yang, and he didn't dare to take action.
?”
Ying Yang said in a deep voice: "This is simply nonsense. If Mr. Hu Hai was captured by Wei Yang, why didn't they release the news and instead hid him?"
The seven commanders couldn't help but exchange glances with the people around them. You're right. If they were really going to be caught, the news would have been released long ago to dampen morale. How could they hide it?
The leader said: "Then where did Mr. Hu Hai go?"
Ying Yang shook his head: "As a general, Hu Hai has his own place to go. I, the commander, don't know about it either. Please come back."
The leader snorted coldly: "Yingyang, don't try to fool us. We must have an explanation today, otherwise, this matter will not be over."
At this time, the camp door was pushed open again, and Commander Gao Zhuang came in and said, "I know who knows the whereabouts of Mr. Hu Hai. If you believe me, please come with me."
Yingyang's face changed drastically: "It's really you."
The other commanders looked at each other, confused for a moment.
Then a proud smile appeared on the face of Commander Gao Zhuang: "Commander Yingyang is careful, if someone does something wrong, he must bear the consequences himself."
Then he took the lead to walk out of the camp and said: "Commanders, come with me."
The target is directly at Shangqiu City and Wei Mansion.
…
In front of the gate of the Wei Mansion, Lin Ze still stood there quietly.
Suddenly, the sound of countless horses' hooves came from a distance. Lin Ze looked up and saw Ying Yang and others galloping towards the horse and stopped in front of Lin Ze.
Commander Gao Qiang pointed at Lin Ze and said, "He knows where Mr. Hu Hai has gone. Just ask him."
Lin Ze was stunned and said in a deep voice: "What did this general say? Why didn't you understand?"
Commander Gao and Zhuang snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that Master Hu Hai was captured by Wei Yang? What, you dare not admit it?"
Yingyang looked at Commander Gao and Guangdong with an angry look on his face.
However, Lin Ze chuckled: "This general is joking. I dare to swear that I never said this. If I did, I would die badly and my whole family would die. In the same way, if I didn't say it, the general and his whole family would die."
You want to frame me, Lin Ze? That’s funny.
Sure enough, when Commander Gao and Guanggong heard this, he became angry and said: "You are so impudent." He said and slapped Lin Ze in the face.
The four elders of Fang Xiandao shouted in unison: "You bastard." They rushed forward with four fists and pushed back the leader Gao Guangzhi.
Commander Gao and Zhuang hurriedly said to the other commanders: "If we all work together to capture this boy, we will be able to find out the whereabouts of Young Master Hu Hai."
One of the leaders couldn't help but said: "You want to use us as gunmen? Have you lost your mind?" With such a clumsy strategy, do you really think everyone is as stupid as you?
Commander Gao Guangzong endured the humiliation in his eyes and said: "This Lin Ze is the personal guard of Young Master Hu Hai. He said that Hu Hai is in the mansion. If you don't believe it, you can go in and take a look."
Lin Ze finally changed his expression and said, "What are you talking about?"
Commander Gao and Zhuang immediately said: "Look, he is guilty. Master Hu Hai must be inside."
The leader couldn't help but said: "Wei Yang is in the Wei Mansion. If we go in, we probably won't be enough to kill him."
Commander Gao Zhuangzhuang said: "According to the reliable information I got, Wei Yang has gone to Chang'an, and there are only Wei family members there. We have eight martial arts of the sixth grade here. Without Wei Yang, the Wei family will definitely not be able to keep us."
After speaking, he took the initiative to walk towards the gate of the Wei Mansion and said, "If you don't believe it, I will take the lead."
However, as soon as the door was opened, Commander Gao and Guangzhi stepped half-way in and was stunned on the spot, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Several other commanders were shocked and said quickly: "What's wrong with you? Did you see Wei Yang?"
However, what responded to them was a young man's voice: "It's not Wei Yang, it's me."
I saw Hu Hai walking out of the door with four guards, and said coldly: "You are so brave. If you leave the camp without permission from the commander-in-chief, could you be thinking that the commander-in-chief is not strict in military law?"
