Chapter 399 Xuan Yi's Speculation
It took the group two hours to reach the horse farm, but General Qi was stunned by the scene there.
He heard the horse feeders on the mountain saying that they were doomed, the horses were gone, and the horse manager and General Zhang could not wake up, so they were doomed.
There was wailing everywhere on the mountain.
General Qi quickly grabbed a crying servant and asked about the situation, only then did he learn that the horses in the farm were missing.
He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his stomach, and he quickly ran to Manager Ma's room.
At this time, the guards captured a doctor and brought him up the mountain, who was now treating General Zhang.
As soon as General Qi entered the room, he saw the doctor giving acupuncture to General Zhang.
General Qi knew General Zhang. Seeing the doctor giving him acupuncture, he glanced at the situation in the room. As the servants had said, both Manager Ma and Zhang Zhangjun were unconscious.
The two men didn't wake up, so they couldn't find out the details. The servants only knew that the horses were missing, and they knew nothing else.
So he quickly retreated and ran to the two horse farms to take a look.
When there is no war, the war horses are raised here. Once the horses are needed, they are collected here.
So he knew the exact location of the horse farm.
When General Qi arrived at the horse farm, he found it empty. The deafening sound of horses neighing was no longer there, and one could hear a pin drop in the farm.
He took a deep breath and covered his pounding heart, his mind filled with turmoil. He had paid 10,000 war horses to the Xifeng Kingdom as compensation, and the remaining war horses were no less than 40,000, and they were just gone like that.
Who has the ability to steal the horse right under General Zhang's nose?
This must be some kind of magical trick.
Suddenly, General Qi thought of his own property, which disappeared in the same way as the stolen property in the capital and the imperial palace.
Could it be the same person who did it?
General Qi felt a chill all over his body and hurried back to Xuanyi's side.
Although he didn't know why Prime Minister Yang asked Xuanyi to accompany him, he could see that this Taoist was no ordinary person. He must know something about such a mysterious matter, so he wanted to ask him.
But seeing that Xuan Yi had a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something, he didn't want to disturb him, so he waited.
Xuanyi came to Manager Ma's house and stood there without moving.
He had been following General Qi, so how come he didn't know that all the horses in the farm were gone?
At this moment, he was thinking about the theft cases in the capital. The things seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the horses also disappeared out of thin air. What kind of ability could be able to take away so many things, including tens of thousands of live horses? He was puzzled.
Even if it was his master's hidden secrets, it could only hold a roomful of stuff, not so many things.
Could it be that Murong Li and the other person have the legendary ring space?
if……
Those two must die.
After getting that treasure, he no longer needs to be the imperial teacher. He is going to look for the way to immortality.
Xuan Yi's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
"Master, have you figured out what's going on?"
General Qi asked Xuan Yi when he saw his frown relax.
Xuan Yi turned to look at General Qi and said, "I don't know what's going on right now. I'll wait until Manager Ma and General Zhang wake up and find out what's going on."
This matter is incredible and very tricky, so Xuan Yi will not easily promise what he can do.
What Xuanyi said made a lot of sense. General Qi had no words to refute and could only wait until General Zhang and Manager Ma woke up.
So he went into the room again and saw the doctor starting to remove the needles from General Zhang. Just like before, the people in the room were all focused on General Zhang and didn't notice him coming. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly a few times.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Ah, it's General Qi. When did you come?"
The guard knew General Qi and hurried over to salute him.
"I've been here for a while. How's General Zhang?"
General Qi asked with great concern, but his eyes were watching the doctor starting to inject the needle.
The guard shook his head and looked at the doctor.
The doctor finally finished removing the needles from General Zhang's body and placed them in a needle bag. General Qi and the guards immediately came forward and asked, "Doctor, how is General Zhang?"
The doctor was quite old, and he looked very tired. He said, "It's nothing serious. General Zhang just fainted from anger. He will wake up soon. I need to rest for a while before giving acupuncture to the other one."
General Qi knew that acupuncture was very tiring, so he nodded and said to the guard, "I am here. Please take the doctor down to rest for a while and let him eat something."
Guard: "Yes, General Qi, General Zhang, please help me."
General Qi waved to him and sat on the small stool beside the bed, waiting for General Zhang to wake up.
We have to find out what happened. Such a big thing cannot be hidden. Considering that he and General Zhang are officials in the same dynasty, we should help him if we can.
Given the emperor's temper, with so many war horses missing, there wouldn't be enough people left on the horse farm to chop them down.
After about half an incense stick of time, General Zhang slowly woke up. He stared with his eyes a little confused, and suddenly remembered why he fainted. He tried to sit up suddenly, but his vision went dark again and he almost fainted again.
Seeing him like this, General Qi was stunned for a moment before quickly pushing him onto the bed and saying, "General Zhang, don't get excited. Lie down and have a good rest."
After General Zhang lay down, he saw that it was General Qi. He immediately grabbed his hand and said, "General Qi, I beg you to help me find the missing horses."
If he is not found, his entire clan will be exterminated.
General Zhang was only a fourth-rank general, while General Qi was a second-rank general. Although they were both generals, his rank was higher than his, so he had to call himself "your humble official" in front of General Tian.
"Then tell me what exactly happened. How could tens of thousands of horses just disappear inexplicably?"
Upon hearing this, General Zhang released General Qi's hand and glanced at the horse steward at the other end. His mood calmed down and he sighed, "Actually, I don't know what's going on. This morning, the servants from the stables came to report that all the horses were missing.
At that time, I was a little bit skeptical. Except for the place where we were guarding the mountain pass, the rest of the horse farm was full of cliffs. Only people with excellent lightness skills could go up and down, but horses could not go down, especially with so many horses.
So I hurried over to check and looked everywhere. The horse was indeed gone, but there was no trace of it walking. It was as if it had vanished into thin air.
After hearing this, General Qi took a deep breath and had a rough idea in his mind. He thought that the theft case in the capital must have been committed by the same person.
I can’t tell who it is yet, but this matter must be related to Prince Li.
