However, when they turned back and arrived at the wise man's tent, they were all completely dumbfounded.
The wise men they had heavily guarded had vanished without a trace, and none of the soldiers who had been awakened by the splashing knew what had happened.
Ge Shukuang was so angry that he almost fell backward, but luckily someone caught him.
He suppressed his anger, asked a few cold questions, and then swept his sharp eyes over Park U-sae:
"What exactly is going on? Can anyone tell me? Park Yu-seok was the first one to wake me up, saying that enemy troops had infiltrated the military camp. Did you see who they were?"
"I... I also needed to urinate, so I got up in the middle of the night to relieve myself. I happened to see a group of people sneaking around a military camp, so I rushed over to find the General. As for what happened, I have no idea!"
Park Yu-seok glanced at Ge Shu-kuang with trepidation, then knelt down and explained.
"It must be a dirty trick by that Minister Shen of the Grand Banquet. I've heard that he's as cunning as a fox, and he's even managed to usurp the power of a king. It's not impossible that he would send someone to kidnap our wise man!"
"After all, without wise men, we have no one to offer advice. This treacherous minister has a truly vicious mind."
The speaker was General Bugshan, whose status among the Di Rong was second only to Geshu Kuang. Although he was not as strong as Geshu Kuang in martial arts, he was good at thinking.
So now he's started to believe in conspiracy theories.
“Yes, General Bu is right. In a battle between two armies, it is likely that the enemy camp will be the ones to die. This may be the work of that treacherous minister on the other side. Brother General, I think we must take Haicheng as soon as possible to rescue the wise man.”
When Park Yu-seok heard General Bugsan say this, he repeatedly agreed.
"Damn it, those people from the Central Plains only know how to use underhanded tricks. General Bu, immediately muster your troops and attack Haicheng! They've dared to bully me! I swear I won't return to the capital until I've killed this treacherous minister!"
Since both of them said so, and he thought it made sense, Geshu Kuang immediately cursed a few times and then gave the order.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the soldiers from the supply depot rushed over and hurriedly entered the central command tent.
"Report! Our supplies have been burned! General, send men to put out the fire immediately!"
The person who came fell to the ground after saying that, demonstrating through his actions how urgent the matter was.
"What's going on?"
Bugshan was closest to the soldier, and he scooped him up and questioned him.
"I don't know either, I just know there's a fire. Generals, go check it out quickly!"
"Go, send people to put out the fire immediately."
Geshu Kuang's eyebrows twitched. He suppressed his anger and rushed out first. If he caught the thief who caused trouble tonight...
He must be torn to pieces and his bones scattered to the winds.
Damn it, such a treacherous person is both hateful and infuriating!
And this hateful and infuriating person doesn't care what others say about her.
She was quite satisfied. He had originally given up hope and planned to take a look around the enemy camp before making a decision.
As a result, not only did they kidnap the wise man, they also rescued Bai Ze and Liu Ji.
When he left, he wondered whether the other party would give chase. So he went to the place where the other party had stored grain and had Tian Ying put a fire gu inside. As he expected, the other party's grain and fodder burst into flames.
Satisfied, he ignored Feng Qin's dark expression and laughed wildly.
"If we don't leave now, they'll really catch up again. You've really angered them this time. Can we go back now?"
Fengqin earnestly advised him.
He helped and saved people, then burned their grain supplies. If he were Geshu Kuang, he would have mobilized his entire army to chase after them.
"Actually, there's no need to rush. I need to burn the granary for a while before they can put it out."
Cen Xi looked at the distant firelight, a deep smile curving her lips.
"Couldn't they send half their men to put out the fire and the other half to chase after you? Mistress, you should leave quickly, okay? You may not care about your life, but I do! I promised Zhuzhu that I would redeem her after we returned to the capital. You don't want me to die here in Northeast China, do you?"
Fengqin felt that he really didn't have long to live. If his mistress caused trouble a couple more times, how would he use the bonus to redeem people? He was afraid that he wouldn't even see Zhuzhu marry him before he passed away.
"You've taken a fancy to a prostitute?"
Cen Xi looked at Feng Qin with an expression that said, "What kind of taste do you have?" Although he was a guard, he was a guard by Shen Jinchen's side. There was no need for him to demean himself like this.
“What’s wrong with taking a fancy to a prostitute? Zhuzhu is gentle, kind, and virtuous. She used to be a lady from a respectable family, but she was framed and ended up in a brothel. She’s a good girl. I will not only redeem her, but also marry her and have children with her.”
Seeing Cen Xi raise her eyebrows slightly, Feng Qin assumed that she looked down on the status of a prostitute, and immediately retorted with a stern face.
Zhuzhu was the gentlest girl he had ever met, the one who most aroused his protective instincts, and the first woman he wanted to marry.
Therefore, he cannot tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her.
"I only asked one question, but you gave me a whole bunch of answers. When did I ever say I looked down on prostitutes? I just didn't expect you to have such a peculiar perspective."
"Has your young master ever frequented brothels? Did he go, and you went to visit a prostitute as well, and that's how you met your Zhuzhu?"
Cen Xi had never seen Feng Qin defend a woman like this before, and even made her face turn so red, so she couldn't help but find it funny.
After laughing, her heart skipped a beat again. If Shen Jinchen's guards went to brothels, would his master go too?
Could it really be what she thinks? If Shen Jinchen dares to sleep with other women behind her back, then she…
So she castrated him, then stabbed him to death, and then committed suicide.
Seeing Cen Xi's ever-changing expression and cold gaze, Feng Qin instantly understood what she meant.
she…
Is she starting to suspect their young master?
If the young master knew that he had caused him a misunderstanding, he would definitely draw his ten-meter-long sword and chop him up.
Oh no, he mustn't let the mistress have that thought, so he immediately tried to salvage the situation:
“Mistress, you have misunderstood. Young Master has never been to a brothel. You are the only woman he has ever been in his life. Fengqin can swear to God.”
"Never been to a brothel? I remember once he personally went to a brothel and cornered me, but you... why did you go to a brothel in the first place? Wasn't it because he wanted to go?"
Cen Xi was now completely consumed by jealousy, forgetting all about running away, and instead cornered Feng Qin to ask her questions.
“Last time, young master…”
Feng Qin swallowed hard, remembering the purpose of the young master's visit to the brothel last time, and immediately made up a bunch of excuses:
“Young master knew that you were inside last time, so he came to ambush you. Also, when I went to the brothel, it was initially to help you find out the women’s preferences. You asked me to collect those women’s preferences to please you.”
