Chapter 169 Who did it?
The person who had just been followed by Su Chengnan was now squatting in a corner with the others, drinking soup and eating buns.
When he saw Su Chengnan coming back, he quickly turned around, wiped his mouth, put down the bowl and walked out. Seeing this, others followed him and left.
Only when we got to a place where there were not many people around did someone come over to talk to us.
"Brother Zhan, why are you walking so fast? I'm not full yet. Those buns are really good! They taste just like the ones in the shops in Beijing."
"Oh, then you must be starving. You've never eaten good food, right? How can this be compared with the food in the capital? When we go back, let your brother take you to open your eyes." Another person interrupted and mocked him.
Douzi, who was speaking just now, didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He turned around and said to the other party with a smile: "Okay, Master Hong! When we return to Beijing, I will follow you. I have a big stomach and can eat eight in one meal."
"Eight is only a few. I thought you were going to say eighty. Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Only the leading man had a gloomy face, which was out of tune with them. He looked so righteous, like the kind of person who couldn't take a joke at all.
"That's enough, Hongshan, come with me!"
"do what."
"Stop talking nonsense and come here!"
Hong Shan followed Zhan Xiang to the side reluctantly. The rest of the people restrained their smiles, looked at each other, and dared not breathe.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you do it?" Zhan Xiang stared at him.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say." Hong Shan picked his ear with his little finger, looking absent-minded.
Suddenly, Zhan Xiang grabbed the other's shoulder with his calloused palm and pressed down hard without thinking. Hong Shan immediately became serious.
"Ouch, let go."
"Did you do that?!"
"It's not me! The thing is in your hands, how could I do it? What can I use to do it?!"
Zhan Xiang used force again, and Hong Shan's body twisted even more. He was so angry that he said, "What are you crazy about? You fought with me in Li Shanqi's military camp. Do you want him to punish us by military law? He is a lunatic!"
Zhan Xiang snorted coldly and let go of his hand. "Don't think I don't know anything! I warn you, don't act recklessly in an emergency."
Hong Shan moved his shoulders and said angrily, "Zhan Xiang, if you have time to target me here, I think you might as well find a way to clean up your brother's mess. Humph, the women in the Su family are all alive and well. What do you think will happen if the Queen Mother finds out?"
"You..." Zhan Xiang clenched his fists again and wanted to take action.
At this time, other people standing not far away rushed over to persuade them to stop fighting, “Hey, hey, my two good brothers, you are the captain and the vice-captain, please don’t be unhappy. We are in a bad situation now. You should work together rationally, work together rationally…”
Zhan Xiang threw his sleeves and looked at everyone seriously: "Whoever did it, you'd better come out and admit it. If I find out, I'll kill him first!"
"Why do you do that?!" Hong Shan was dissatisfied.
"You still say it's not you?!" Zhan Xiang glared and raised his fist to his ear.
Hong Shan sneered, "How pitiful..."
Zhan Xiang: "What did you say?!"
Hong Shan curled his lips, looking Zhan Xiang up and down with a meaningful look in his eyes, and then said sinisterly: "You are the captain, but the master does not trust you. You did not take action, but someone else did it in advance. You want to be a good person, but you are neither a good person nor a good person."
"Humph, Zhan Xiang, you better wake up. Don't let your bellicosity cause all of us to lose our lives!"
Zhan Xiang was very angry: "I am warlike?!"
He raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction, "Those evil bandits of White Bear Country have been eyeing us covetously for years, and now they have already invaded. As soldiers, shouldn't we defend our country?!"
"At this time, shouldn't we unite against the enemy? Don't you know what it would mean to the Beiling Army if Lu Chaofeng died? And what it would mean to Dayong!"
Xiaodouzi, who had just said that he was not full, looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "Boss, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said. Wasn't Master Lu cursed by a wizard?"
Hong Shan burst into laughter.
Zhan Xiang's face darkened, "What a bullshit wizard! Lu Chaofeng was clearly poisoned. Who of you did it?!"
Everyone shook their heads and said it wasn't them.
His sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on Hong Shan and looked at him, "It better not be you! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you before returning to Beijing."
"You guys! What are you doing?!"
"Scatter! Everyone scatter!"
"If there is a private fight, we will punish you by military law!"
A deep voice sounded, and Chen Hao came out of the opposite tent with his soldiers. He glanced at a group of people here and shouted a few words loudly.
Upon hearing the sound, several people immediately dispersed.
Xiao Douzi quickly pulled Hongshan away, but Hongshan had a gloomy face and said nothing.
After a while, there was no one around.
Two people with Beijing accents were talking in whispers together.
"Brother, was it really you who did this?"
"If I don't take action, Zhan Xiang might even lose his life here if he fights. Can't we just complete the mission and retreat quickly?"
"Hey, how do we retreat? How can we leave in this situation?"
"Are you stupid? Can't you pretend to be dead?"
"Ah? Is this possible?!"
"The White Bear Country's cavalry hasn't even taken out their gunpowder yet, and the Beiling Army has already lost a lot of people. If it weren't for that thing upstairs that helped to hold them off for a while, they would have probably all been killed by the sword by now. We must leave quickly."
"Brother, what you did is not fair. You took the opportunity to poison Lu Chaofeng during the war? Why don't you think about the good of Beiling? They are also our people and soldiers of Dayong!"
"Don't yell at me! I'm your brother! I have to take you home! Zhan Xiang and Hong Shan are two brainless guys. The Queen Mother has clearly distrusted them. Besides, the Su family is still alive. When we report this to the authorities, the Zhan family will definitely take the blame."
"What does that have to do with us?"
"I'm wondering how you managed to get into the Imperial Guards. If something happens to them, then this is our chance. We must seize the opportunity and show off in front of the Empress Dowager!"
"Well, what you said makes sense." Xiaodouzi couldn't help but nodded, "Then brother, what should we do next?"
"Lu Chaofeng has been poisoned. He will not live long. I have to find a way to kill a few more members of the Su family. It would be best if I could bring their heads back. If I do that... the Zhan family will not be able to escape."
“Good idea!”
"Douzi, you go later..." The two people's voices became smaller and smaller.
