Chapter 248 The Traitor is Caught
Two days later.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
Thanks to the people sending a lot of meat and various vegetables, the soldiers' meals were the richest in history.
Although the northern wing might attack at any time, the soldiers all had smiles on their faces when they saw the sumptuous food on the table. After all, the war would be fought sooner or later, so it was a good thing to be able to have a good meal before going to the battlefield.
Su Hanchu, Jun Moye and General Song also sat at a table in the hall.
Song Huaian picked up the wine glass.
"Mr. Jun, this is my toast to you. Happy New Year."
Jun Moye raised his glass and clinked it with Song Huaian.
"Happy New Year, General Song. I wish us success in our upcoming campaign."
Li Xiao also picked up the wine glass.
"Master Jun, this is a toast from Li Xiao to you..."
People were toasting each other in the hall.
Over here in the warehouse.
The guards were also drinking and eating.
"I've been a soldier for so many years, but this is the first time I've eaten such delicious food, and it was during a war."
"That's right. During the war, being able to eat enough was good enough. Now I can eat meat every day, and today we even have a few more dishes. Living like this, even if I die on the battlefield, I'd be content."
Another person spoke hurriedly.
"Ah, what are you talking about? It's New Year's Day, and with Master Jun and Madam Jun leading you, you will definitely repel the North Wing."
"That's right. Those bastards in Beiyi might be chewing on tree roots thirty miles away right now. They're already poor in Beiyi."
Suddenly several soldiers came over and one of them spoke.
"Brothers, we are all full and satisfied. You can enjoy yourselves and drink without worries. We brothers are here to guard this granary tonight. I happen to have a pot of good wine here. Let's have a good drink."
Seeing the soldiers suddenly appear, the people guarding the granary also became cautious.
"Which barracks were you from before..."
Fang Bolin, who was in the lead, spoke.
"Brothers, rest assured. We are followers of Master Jun. Like Master Jun, we all come from the Imperial City. This time, as soon as we saw Master Jun coming to fight alongside us, we volunteered. Master Jun and Madam Jun have always been kind and compassionate. We saw that you were working so hard guarding the granary that you were even terrified to eat, so we wanted to come and replace you."
The grain-guarding soldier, who was originally skeptical, took the pot of good wine with a smile after hearing that the person was a follower of Jun Moye.
"So you are Mr. Jun's men. Thank you brothers very much. Once we brothers have finished eating, we will come and replace you."
Fang Bolin hurriedly spoke with a smile.
"You're welcome, brother. Don't worry, eat and drink well. We are here."
The soldier guarding the granary smiled and nodded after hearing this, then took the good wine and started drinking and eating with the other people.
Seeing this, Fang Bailin exchanged a glance with Chen Wenlin, then quickly walked over to the granary to guard it, but his eyes were looking at the soldiers guarding the granary who were drinking and eating not far away.
In the hall, Jun Moye and Su Hanchu were eating and chatting with everyone.
Tao Zhiwen quickly walked to Jun Moye and whispered a few words.
Jun Moye glanced at Su Hanchu and stood up.
"Generals, you guys eat first. My wife and I have finished eating. Let's go out for a walk and see the other soldiers..."
This is the granary.
Chen Wenlin spoke in a low voice.
"Berlin, do we really want to do this? If we run out of food, the entire northwest will be..."
Fang Bolin hurriedly lowered his voice and scolded.
"Shut up! It's come to this. Why are you still hesitating? Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. A real man shouldn't be as timid as a woman.
Besides, you want to avenge your mother and wife, and I want to avenge my sister and son, so we can only listen to that person. Otherwise, with our limited abilities, we can't hurt Jun Moye and Su Hanchu at all. And you don't want to continue living like this and want to return to the glorious days of the past, right?"
Chen Wenlin looked conflicted and hesitant.
“We are from Tianyuan. We were once ministers of Tianyuan…”
Fang Bailin looked at the soldier who was slowly falling asleep after drinking in the distance and spoke in a cold voice.
"So what? We were once loyal to the court and worked for the royal family, but what happened? We were banished to this desolate northwest place. We suffered so much, and so many of our people died. Those soldiers have already fainted. Let's do what we have to do quickly."
Fang Bailin quickly walked towards the woods in the distance. Seeing this, Chen Wenlin and several others had no choice but to follow him.
Soon, several people brought a few barrels of kerosene and slowly approached the granary, but before they got close to the granary.
Suddenly several sharp arrows flew over.
“Swoosh…swoosh…swoosh…”
Several men were hit in the legs by arrows, and the barrels fell out, spilling gasoline, but they were at a safe distance from the granary.
Chen Wenlin and Fang Bailin looked in the direction where the sharp arrow came from in confusion, only to see Su Hanchu and Jun Moye coming hand in hand.
Fang Bailin's eyes were full of shock, and he quickly reached out to grab the tinder.
Jun Moye raised his hand and stabbed the dagger in Fang Bailin's hand accurately. Soon, Lu Zhan and his men controlled several people and brought them in front of Jun Moye and Su Hanchu.
Tao Zhiwen also took a few soldiers to clean up the kerosene that spilled on the ground.
Jun Moye first helped Su Hanchu sit on the chair brought by the soldiers, then sat down calmly and spoke in a cold tone.
"Fang Bolin, Chen Wenlin, are you two planning to become traitors to Tianyuan?"
Chen Wenlin looked flustered and tried to make excuses.
"Mo Ye, listen to your uncle. It's not what you see. We just want to..."
Under Jun Moye's cold death gaze, Chen Wenlin's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent...
