Chapter 324: Deception

Tang Jue quickly withdrew his hand.

But he was still a little slow and had already hurt the opponent's hand.

Li Yunfeng smiled bitterly and rubbed his wrist.

"You generals are rough and always like to use your hands and feet."

"If I were later, I'm afraid that this newly healed hand would be useless by you."

If it were in the past, Tang Jue would definitely play some jokes with Li Yunfeng, but today Tang Jue didn't have that mood. He lowered his head and looked depressed.

"Sorry."

"Don't be sorry." Li Yunfeng patted his shoulder.

"Have you met General Tang?"

"Yeah." Tang Jue responded softly, but he didn't want to talk.

Li Yunfeng chuckled: "Let me guess what General Tang said?"

"Did he persuade you to surrender, and mentioned General Tang?"

"How did he mention it? Did he say that General Tang's death was related to the lord?"

Tang Jue sat up straight: "How do you know, sir?"

"Don't forget, I am also an old subordinate of General Tang, and my relationship with him is no worse than yours."

"I am a few years older than General Tang, but I have received a lot of care from General Tang. My sister was bullied in the past, and it was General Tang who avenged me."

"From that day on, I made up my mind to repay General Tang."

"Since then, I have been following the general, watching General Tang grow from a new recruit step by step to a fifth-rank general. That year, I was captured and my tendons were cut, and it was the general who rescued me."

"The general saved my life and avenged my sister. I respect the general more than anyone else."

Tang Jue knew about Li Yunfeng's affairs.

He knew Li Yunfeng's character, so he naturally did not doubt Li Yunfeng's loyalty.

"Although I don't know what the old general said specifically, I am now the master's butler, which is enough to explain everything."

"When the general got into trouble, I was in the capital. No one knows the general's affairs better than me. Hearing is false, seeing is believing."

"Never believe what you hear from others. You must open your eyes and look carefully to see the right and wrong of this world."

Li Yunfeng stood up and pointed at his waist: "Although General Tang is a fifth-rank official, the old general is a first-rank official. In the capital, who can easily kill the general?"

Li Yunfeng did not explain the extra words.

Sometimes, once the words are opened and made clear, they become meaningless.

Answers that are too easy to get will only make people feel that they are not true enough.

On the contrary, the truth that is obtained with great difficulty is precious.

Li Yunfeng's words gave Tang Jue some inspiration.

Yes.

The old general is a first-rank official. Although he has resigned, his influence is still there.

Who would risk offending the old general to kill General Tang?

What does Li Yunfeng mean by pointing to his waist?

There is obviously nothing on Li Yunfeng's waist.

He pondered carefully, recalling Li Yunfeng's actions over and over again.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

It is a gold medal of immunity from death.

In the past, the late emperor appreciated the loyalty of the Tang family and specially gave the old general a gold medal of immunity from death.

In the past, this gold medal of immunity from death was carefully treasured.

But when they met today, the old general hung it around his waist.

The gold medal of immunity from death that he had always treasured was hung around his waist.

Was the old general planning to use the gold medal of immunity from death?

But what did this have to do with General Tang's death?

He couldn't figure it out.

But according to his understanding of Li Yunfeng, if General Tang's death was really related to Gan Fanren, Li Yunfeng would certainly not be willing to serve Gan Fanren.

He hesitated for a while and quietly returned to the private house.

In the private house, the old general was followed by several young generals.

They showed no respect for the old general, and even mocked him faintly.

"If it were you, I'd say that Tang Jue should be killed."

"Once Tang Jue dies, without a leader on the battlefield, those insignificant rebels will surely be defeated."

"That's right, General, you're really old, timid, and you still have to play tricks with the rebels to fight."

Facing the ridicule of these people, Old General Tang lowered his head.

If it were thirty years earlier, he would not be so cowardly.

At that time, he was full of vigor and never showed mercy to the enemy.

Now that the times have changed, he is afraid of death.

Rather than fighting with real swords and guns, he is more inclined to use strategies.

If a few short sentences can make Tang Jue lose his footing, that would naturally be a good thing.

"Young generals, don't be anxious. Don't forget your majesty's mission. We not only have to win, but also bring back all the soldiers who have sided with Gan Fanren."

"If Tang Jue is willing to stand on our side, then we can naturally complete the mission assigned to us by your majesty."

"That Tang Jue looks stupid. I think he has believed our words. He is crying and sharpening his knife to kill Gan Fanren."

"If he can kill Gan Fanren, it will be a great help to us."

After hearing this, Tang Jue couldn't listen anymore.

He left in a daze and returned to the army.

In the army, Song Ci was testing the newly made crossbows.

He and Tang Jue had tested it many times before, but it was either not light enough or the range was not long enough.

After improvements, there is now new progress.

He couldn't wait to find Tang Jue, hoping that Tang Jue could try out the new crossbow with him again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Tang Jue's tent, he ran into Tang Jue's scarlet eyes.

Song Ci felt that it was not the right time to talk about the crossbow.

So he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tang Jue.

"Wait a minute, Song Ci."

Song Ci stood at the door of the tent and looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong, general?"

"The general returned to the capital with you before the accident. Can you tell me in detail what happened in the capital?"

This was related to Tang Shi's privacy.

Song Ci was reluctant to speak.

Since Tang Shi had left incognito, it proved that he did not want others to know that he was still alive.

Song Ci lowered his head and said vaguely: "A lot of things happened during that time. It involves the general's privacy, so I can't speak."

"You just need to tell me who killed the general."

Song Ci lowered his head and refused to speak.

Tang Jue walked around Song Ci and narrowed his eyes: "I was curious when you came back. The general was in trouble, but you didn't seem to be sad, and you never planned to avenge the general."

"The general treated you so well, but you were so indifferent. Could it be that the general's death was related to you?"

Song Ci looked a little panicked: "No, no."

"I am sincere to the general. I didn't say that I didn't want to avenge the general, but because I am too weak and can't avenge the general for the time being."

"I have always remembered the general's enemies and will never forget them."

General Tang's living enemies must include His Majesty, the Feiluan Army, and old General Tang.

If it weren't for the indifference of General Tang, who refused to help, the general wouldn't have to leave incognito.

The old general was so kind and gentle to the little girl, but she was so indifferent to the general.
