Chapter 448: Cold sweat

In fact, Changquan's clothes were just simple and could not be called tattered at all, but for Orondei, as long as it was not silk or satin, it could be called tattered.

Orondai looked at Changquan sitting in the carriage as a driver, and he felt suspicious.

"Did this guy also lose his position in the infantry battalion? Why didn't he let anyone know about it?"

Just as he was watching the carriage slowly drive away and fell into deep thought, Shun Anyan fell to the ground with a thud.

By the time Orondei had settled Shun Anyan, Changquan had long disappeared.

Orondei returned to the table and sat down, feeling a little uneasy.

Finally decided to follow Changquan.

After Orondei's house was raided, he stayed in Fushouyuan and was ashamed to see people.

But his son Jiefu ran around to use his connections, but his old subordinates ran away faster than the other when they saw the benefits, but when he asked them for help, there was no one who ran the fastest, only those who ran faster.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to confront those bastards face to face, but he never found the chance.

This time he caught a...

Although Orondei didn't know where Changquan was going, he could go to the inner city infantry battalion base. Even if he couldn't wait for him, he could still cause trouble for his old subordinates.

Orondei walked all the way to a location two streets away from the infantry battalion’s base. Another carriage passed by his carriage, and it seemed to be heading towards the infantry battalion’s base.

Including the one in Changquan, this is the third one...

Orondei lifted the curtain and looked at the back of the carriage, feeling alert.

This is wrong!

"Old Qin, stop!"

Orondai hurriedly called the driver to stop the car.

"Find an alley and turn in!"

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately did as he was told.

After the carriage entered the alley, Orondei observed the situation on the road through the window at the rear of the carriage.

However, this time, he waited for more than half an hour, but the next carriage did not pass by.

Orondei thought he was overthinking it, so he wanted to tell the driver to leave. However, before he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from a distance.

Orondei was startled and quickly leaned over the small window to look out. Sure enough, he saw another carriage passing by.

The carriage was moving quite fast, but Orondei could still clearly see the face of the driver.

He is Changquan’s deputy general!

As the previous governor of the Nine Gates, Orondei knew clearly that during the Wanshou Festival, all soldiers and police officers of the infantry battalions had to patrol between the imperial city and the inner city to maintain public order, so as to avoid bloodshed on such a happy day, as it would be unlucky.

People in the palace are most taboo about this.

So when he saw Changquan appear in the outer city disguised as a coachman, he keenly felt that something was wrong.

But he didn't think much about it.

After all, who doesn’t have important matters to deal with these days?

No matter how important the Emperor's birthday is, it can't stop people from aging, getting sick and dying, right?

But now he doesn't think so.

The supplies needed by the infantry battalion have been coordinated by officials from the Ministry of War, so there is no need for Changquan, the left-wing lieutenant, to go and get them in person.

Unless that batch of supplies is extremely special...

Thinking of this, Orondei's heart tightened and a layer of fine cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.

"Old Qin, let's go, hurry up! Go back to the outer city! Wait a minute..."

"Go to the Duke's Mansion!"

Orondei hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the Duke's Mansion to find someone to pass the message to the palace.

For military camps, what kind of supplies can be considered special?

Of course it’s... weapons!

If his guess was correct, there must be someone defending this place. If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave soon.

However, after he gave the order, there was no sound from the coachman Lao Qin outside. Orondai opened the front door of the carriage and asked in confusion,

"Why aren't you leaving yet?... It's Changquan... It's been a while, how are you?"

Outside the carriage, Chang Quan stood beside the horse with his hands behind his back, while his coachman Lao Qin had a knife held against his throat, and the sweat on his face dripped onto the blade.

The moment Orondei saw Changquan, his face turned pale.

Thoughts raced through my mind as I wondered how I could get out of this situation.

Changquan had already changed into his official uniform. Looking at Orondai's panicked face, he also gave a very kind smile.

"Lord Tong, I hope you are well. Why didn't you inform me in advance of your visit to the infantry battalion? I could have made a good welcome for you..."

Return it to me?

This grandson really has no mercy at all!

In the past, she would chase after him and beg for mercy like a pug, but now that she has a new master, she has become arrogant.

This is outrageous!

Orondai cursed in his heart, but he put on a flattering look.

"I'm just passing by. I have no intention of entering the barracks. If I wanted to visit you, I would definitely greet you in advance..."

After he finished explaining, he was afraid that Changquan would not believe him, so he pointed at Lao Qin and said,

"If you don't believe me, ask him!"

Old Qin opened his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, my master is just passing by!"

"laugh!"

Changquan sneered.

"Passing by?! If I heard correctly, you are going to the Duke's Mansion, right? You live in the outer city now. How can you pass by the infantry battalion station to go to the Duke's Mansion?"

Orondei was stunned for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead uncontrollably.

He racked his brains to come up with an excuse, but Changquan was unwilling to waste his time on him.

"Cover your mouth and take it away!"

"yes."

Orondei and the coachman didn't even have a chance to yell before they were covered with their mouths, tied up, and eventually stuffed into the carriage. Changquan went in and personally watched over the two of them.

He was also a little scared at this moment.

If the Ninth Prince had not arranged spies along the route where they were transporting supplies, he would never have discovered that Orondei was following them.

Fortunately, Orondei was also a brainless guy. When he found something wrong, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stayed here for more than half an hour, giving him time to clean up.

If Orondei were really allowed to go to the Duke's Mansion to report the news, all their plans today might be aborted, and what would await him would be the execution of his entire family.

At this moment, no matter how calm Changquan was, he couldn't help but feel a little fear and regret in his heart.

But no matter how much he regretted it, he had already taken this step, and there was absolutely no chance of turning back.

Changquan looked at Orondai, who was lying in the carriage like a dead dog, and something called "madness" rose in his eyes.

No matter whether today's matter succeeds or not, he wants to take Orondei's life!

If he succeeds, he will not only be not at fault for killing Orondei, but will also have made a great contribution.

If it doesn't work, then just be my scapegoat!
