Chapter 102: Tricky Things
"Dad, why did you hit me? I didn't say anything wrong. Isn't it you who said it?"
"And I said, you careless thing, I'm going to give you a good beating today." As he said that, the father and son started to fight in the study...
Xu Yulan, who was drinking tea from a teacup, curled the corners of his mouth to show that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Yes, it's very good. The only drawback is that my younger sister is far away in the northwest and he can't take care of her. So he can only ask the other brothers to take care of her.
He knew his eldest brother said this on purpose, just hoping their father wouldn't worry too much. We have already grown up, so let the two brothers face the coming storm!
As for the Northwest Military Camp, something might happen there, but with Ning San and the others there, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Xu Yulan’s idea was right. There were no major problems in the military camp, but there were considerable hidden dangers and hidden enemies in Yushan.
Speaking of the military camp, when Ning San and his group rode back at full speed, the military supervisor had disappeared.
So, Ning San wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it directly to the capital.
He spent the whole afternoon whispering with Old Balius. When he reappeared, the Northwest Army Camp had already begun secretly preparing food and fodder, and the soldiers were training all day long.
Zhao Daniu and Gangzi, who set out a day later than them, rode their horses at a rapid pace towards the military camp. Along the way, they hardly rested except for stopping to eat some dry food and occasionally close their eyes.
On this day, the two set out again, and when passing through a checkpoint town, they saw a somewhat familiar figure.
"Gangzi, was that man over there Lord Dian?"
Gangzi frowned slightly and whispered, "A bit like him, but when I think about it carefully, I don't think it's quite like him. Lord Dian's eyes have always been sharp, but when that man just now turned around to look at something, it felt like something was missing."
While Zhao Daniu was listening to Gangzi's words, he was carefully recalling the situation of the figure he had just seen. After a few breaths, he whispered, "That figure just now was not Lord Dian. He just looked like Lord Dian."
Gangzi once again looked in the direction where the figure disappeared, then pulled Zhao Daniu and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the military camp quickly."
"Um."
The two men then rode away.
Tent level.
A bearded man jokingly said, "Hey, Gangzi, you are here to pick people again in the military camp."
Gangzi didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Brother Qi, you are waiting for me here on purpose."
"You are so beautiful! Tell me, how many people do you plan to recruit from the military camp this time?"
"Hehe, military secrets, I have to meet General Ning before I can pick anyone this time."
Looking at Gangzi who was laughing and smirking, the bearded man gave some instructions to the people at the checkpoint, then called out to Gangzi and Zhao Daniu, "Come with me, both of you."
I don’t know if it was intentional, but there were few people in the places where the bearded man leading the pole and Zhao Daniu led the pole.
Seeing that the route to the military camp was different from the usual one, Gangzi looked at the bearded man with doubtful eyes: "Brother Qi, where are you taking us? I have official business here."
"I know. It won't hinder your important task. General Ning and his men told us after they came back that everyone coming to Yushan should take this route from now on."
"I see."
After responding, Gangzi nodded, exchanged glances with his companion Zhao Daniu, and then continued walking forward behind the bearded man.
After a stick of incense had passed, the three of them stopped outside a tent.
Looking at the tent and the surrounding arrangements, Gangzi and Zhao Daniu still did not let down their guard.
Although they are already in the camp, the things they carry are more important than their lives. Otherwise, Captain Tian would not have asked them to hand them over to General Ning in person.
But in this situation, the two of them were already worried, but they didn't show it on their faces.
As soon as he arrived outside the tent, the bearded man loudly reported: "General, someone from Yushan is coming."
"Someone from Yushan is coming, please invite him in!" A puzzled voice came from the tent.
Hearing this voice, Gangzi and the other two understood that the person inside was most likely General Ning who had left Yushan a few days ago.
Sure enough, the bearded man lifted the curtain and waited outside the tent after the two of them entered.
As soon as they entered the tent, they saw several people who had left a few days ago, and also saw Lord Lao Ba Liu.
"I, Gangzi (Zhao Daniu), greet General Ning and several others."
Seeing the two, Ning San quickly asked, "Hmm. Tell me, is there something wrong with Yushan? How come you're here just one day after we got back?"
"Your Excellency, Manager Li asked his subordinates to come and take the person back." As he said this, Gangzi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
Lao Liu Han Yi immediately stood up, took it and handed it to Ning San: "Third brother, take a look."
Ning San took the letter and opened it. It was indeed about selecting people, and did not mention anything else about Yushan.
Seeing this letter, Ning San said suspiciously: "Your Manager Li didn't explain anything?"
"No."
Seeing the two of them speak in unison, the people in the tent looked at each other in confusion.
After receiving Gangzi's eye contact, Zhao Daniu said, "Master Dian, did you go to the market closest to the camp yesterday?"
"Why would I go to the market? I just arrived at the camp yesterday and I don't have time to go to the market or anything like that."
Looking at the unquestionable expression on Yizhi's face and the suspicious looks of others, Zhao Daniu told them about a man they had seen at the market who looked very similar to Yizhi.
"How similar"
Zhao Daniu spoke frankly, "Well... if we hadn't met Lord Dian a few days ago, the two of us would have mistaken that man for Lord Dian."
Hearing this, Ning San and the others were also shocked and asked at the same time: "Is it really that similar?"
"Yes."
Han Yi looked at the ceremony: "Fourth brother, do you have a twin brother?"
Yi Ce glared at Han Yi and said, "As far as I can remember, I've been an orphan. How can I have twin brothers?"
Just as Han Yi and Dianli were talking, Zhao Daniu spoke again: "General Ning, Captain Tian has a letter for you."
"Well, take it out quickly."
Zhao Daniu quickly took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Ning San who stood up and walked over.
Ning San took the letter and quickly opened it to read.
However, the content of A Tian’s letter was very concise, and every word was crucial.
After quickly reading it, Ning San's face immediately became serious. He looked at the others and said, "Xiao Jiu wrote to ask us to send someone to Yushan quickly. There's an urgent situation there."
"Fourth and Eighth Brothers, you two go and make arrangements quickly. Sixth Brother, take them both out to eat something and rest for a while. Once you've chosen the people, leave as soon as possible. Fifth Sister will stay."
"yes."
After they left quickly, Ning San, the fifth brother of Feiyan, said with a serious expression: "Third brother, Xiaojiu has encountered a difficult situation."
