Until he was on the way back to the Western Liao military camp, Zack still hadn't realized how he was tricked by General Zhao into voluntarily returning to Western Liao.
He felt heartbroken at the thought that he wouldn't be able to eat that delicious meat for some time.
Looking back at the two carts of food that Zhao Yiming had asked him to bring back so that he could successfully return to Western Liao without being suspected, he finally felt a little comforted, at least he didn't have to go hungry anymore.
In the Western Liao camp.
Zach, disheveled and with disheveled hair, rushed into the commander's tent like a beggar, crying and shouting, "General, General, I'm finally back alive."
Jabbar, who was already looking at the half bowl of coarse grains on the table with a sad face, moved his nose and smelled the foul odor on Zach, so he leaned forward and vomited.
Fortunately, Zack reacted quickly and dodged to the side immediately, so he was not affected.
But looking at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was vomiting all over the place, Zach felt that although he had now turned to the good side, he was still his official superior after all, and he couldn't just stand there and watch him vomit.
So I immediately went forward to help him and patted his back.
Poor Jabbar finally felt a little better, but as soon as Zach approached, he immediately started to "yue" again.
I wanted to ask Zach to stay away! But the moment I opened my mouth, the smell of Zach filled my mouth.
If you can't say it, just walk! But this guy is still haunting him. Wherever he goes, Zack follows him, almost making him vomit bile.
In the end, the guards outside the tent heard the noise and rushed in to alert Zach, and Jabeur was saved.
After sending Zach away, Jabbar had the tent cleaned thoroughly and burned some incense before he walked into the tent with a frown.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to change tents, but except for his tent, the other tents are so simple that he really can’t get used to living in them.
While he was cleaning the tent, Zach also took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
In order to create the impression of how hard his life was at Xijing Pass, he had specially applied to help the common people repair their toilets when he came. The smell on his body was unbearable for a pampered prince like Jabbar, and even he had to stuff cotton in his nostrils to barely bear it.
But seeing Jabbar's pale face after vomiting, he felt that his suffering was not in vain.
Zach frowned when he thought of the man he saw when he left Jabbar's tent just now.
After leaving a message according to the informant clues given by Zhao Yiming, he went to see Jabbar again.
"General! You don't even know what kind of life your subordinates have been going through these days!" Zack said while wiping his tears.
"You don't know that although Zhao Yiming doesn't kill prisoners on the surface, the methods he uses are even more insulting than killing us!
He, he actually asked me, a deputy general of Western Liao, to clean the pits for those untouchables. Can you imagine how disgusting those pits are? Not to mention the stench, it's like a paste with filth of all colors mixed together, and it's full of wriggling maggots. There's not even a place to step..."
"vomit……"
"Shut up..."
Jabbar, who had finally recovered, was once again made to vomit by Zach's description. The unforgettable smell from before seemed to come to his nose again, as if he was there himself.
Even Xiao Qingyan, who was hiding behind the screen, almost revealed his true identity.
Zach glanced at the screen calmly and didn't mention the toilet anymore, but he didn't forget to continue complaining to Jabbar.
"General! You must quickly send someone to rescue the military advisor! In order to successfully recapture the grain from the Tianling people, I was willing to endure humiliation and do these despicable things. It took a lot of effort to let them relax their vigilance against me, giving me the opportunity to escape with two carts of grain.
But the military advisor is always mindful of Western Liao's reputation, and as a scholar, he refuses to bow to them no matter what. He has been starving for a long time, and now his whole body is just skin and bones. If you don't send someone to rescue him, he's afraid, afraid, he's afraid..."
Zach kept telling Jabbar about the Xijingguan incident, half true and half false, and asked him to rescue the military advisor more than once.
But Jabbar remained unmoved by Zach's repeated requests, "Lieutenant General Zach, a simple man, was able to escape the enemy camp on his own and even brought back some of our army's lost rations.
The military advisor is a shrewd man with great strategic planning, so how could he fall behind? I believe he will be able to turn the tide and save himself. We are waiting for his good news."
Even the military advisor was nothing more than a lowly person in his eyes, not worth his time and effort to save. If he could get out, it was his ability, and if he couldn't, it was his fate.
Although he had known the result for a long time, Zach's heart still sank when he heard these words from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At this moment, he was very glad that he knew how to adapt to the current situation. Otherwise, he would not only suffer like the military advisor, but would also be ridiculed for being incompetent.
After all, he was a man who had just returned from the enemy camp, so Jabbar was very cautious. Although he did not imprison him, he sent people to guard him at all times. He even did not allow him to attend the military advisors' meeting, and he gave the excuse of letting him have a good rest.
Zack did not expose the truth and cooperated very well by staying in his tent to rest. Anyway, the task Zhao Yiming gave him was not to gather information. He just had to stay in the Western Liao military camp with peace of mind.
In the commander's tent, Xiao Qingyan was very determined to have Jabbar kill Zach. "The West Jing Pass is heavily guarded. It's impossible for a prisoner to escape. They must have released Zach on purpose."
Thinking of the two carts of food Zach brought back and his foul odor, Jabar had his first disagreement with Xiao Qingyan. "Although our Western Liao Kingdom is not as big as Tianling Kingdom, our soldiers are also the most brave and loyal.
Zack suffered so much and helped me to retrieve the military rations, but you asked me to kill him. Isn't this asking me to repay kindness with ingratitude and be a treacherous person?
How can this general convince the people from now on?"
Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also looked down on the military advisor and Zach, he was not an idiot. He could choose not to save the military advisor, but he could not kill Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who had made great contributions.
The two argued for a long time about Zach, and finally Xiao Qingyan had to give in because they were on Jabbar's territory.
But it also made Kareem Abdul-Jabbar promise that he would never use Zach again and would not allow him to participate in any decision-making or battles.
He is just a deputy general. It is lucky that he can be kept alive. Jabbar will not fall out with his accomplice Xiao Qingyan because of him.
After reaching a consensus, the two began to discuss the war.
"Although Zach brought back several carts of food and fodder, it's still far from enough for us. This general still hopes to win the battle quickly."
It is impossible to transport food to them from Western Liao. The only solution now is to capture Xijing Pass as soon as possible, otherwise they will be completely finished.
"Okay! After we discuss it, we'll start as soon as possible."
What Jabeur meant was exactly what Xiao Qingyan wanted. He always felt that the longer the war dragged on, the more likely accidents would happen.
