Chapter 737: Estrangement Plan!
Yuanbao's sharp canine teeth pressed against Li Zhongwu's throat, and his hot and humid breath sprayed on the general's pale face.
The black panther's golden pupils shrank into a thin line under the firelight, and a threatening growl came from its throat.
"Yuanbao, let go!" Ran Qingxuan shouted urgently.
Yuanbao stepped back slightly upon hearing that, but only loosened his mouth. His sharp claws were still pressing on Li Zhongwu's chest, and his leopard tail was slapping the ground anxiously.
It was as if it would bite Li Zhongwu off if he dared to move, but Li Zhongwu stood stiffly, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead, and he dared not move at all.
Gu Yanchen's soft sword was like a silver snake coming out of a cave, and instantly pressed against Li Zhongwu's throat: "Deputy General Li, you are so brave!"
"General Gu...Master Gu..." The accompanying soldier exclaimed, and the long sword in his hand came out half an inch.
"I wonder what Mr. Gu means by this?"
Facing the former war god of Northern Qi, although the soldier was frightened, he would not watch him hurt Li Zhongwu.
Ran Qingxuan was also stunned, and stretched out his hand to gently press on Gu Yanchen's wrist: "What are you doing? Lieutenant General Li just..."
"Qingxuan, please stand further away. Kuang Ze saw with his own eyes that he sent a message from behind the tent with a hawk. The cloth was stained with the blue fluorescence used exclusively in Dongying!"
Gu Yanchen's voice was as cold as ice, and he protected Ran Qingxuan and retreated a few steps.
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that he suddenly drew his sword because the spy was Chang Hu's deputy general Li Zhongwu...
Li Zhongwu lay on the ground with his pupils suddenly shrinking, his face mixed with anger and shock. He was ready to have his neck bitten off, and he quickly opened his mouth.
"It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. I was in the wounded camp all night. How could I come back to inform the Yigui people?"
After he said that, he struggled to get up, but Yuanbao pushed him back to the ground with one claw.
Ran Qingxuan frowned slightly, keenly aware of the abnormality: "Wait a minute, if Lieutenant General Li is really in the wounded camp, then the person who released the hawk..."
"No matter what, let's go see General Chang first." Gu Yanchen sheathed his sword but still stared at Li Zhongwu.
"The truth is known at first sight."
Yuanbao let go at Ran Qingxuan's signal, and Li Zhongwu felt scared as he touched the teeth marks on his neck.
The group hurried to the main tent. Soldiers along the way looked at them sideways. Yuanbao followed closely beside Ran Qingxuan, turning back from time to time to bar his teeth and growl at Li Zhongwu.
Outside the main tent, Chang Hu was walking towards them, escorting Zhao Xian. The military advisor's robe was disheveled. When he saw Li Zhongwu in such a mess, his face was full of astonishment: "General, this is..."
"What a coincidence."
Chang Hu said with a sullen face, glancing between Li Zhongwu and Zhao Xian.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go into the tent and talk!"
The candlelight in the tent was bright, illuminating everyone's face. Chang Hu slapped the fluorescent cloth on the table and said, "Li Zhongwu, explain it to me!"
Li Zhongwu saw clearly that the piece of cloth he was using was covered with the entire process of Ran Qingxuan taking out the weapon, and his face turned pale with shock.
He knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "General, please understand! This cloth is indeed something I often use, but I was in the wounded camp all night, You Wei can testify to this!"
"In addition to the blue used in the East Camp, there is also the green used in the Central Camp."
Ran Qingxuan interrupted, put down the special night vision goggles, and lightly touched the barely perceptible green fluorescence on the edge of the cloth with his fingertips.
"Brother Chang, who has access to Lieutenant General Li's personal belongings?"
Chang Hu frowned: "Apart from me and Zhao Tiezhu, there is only... Military Advisor Zhao Xian!" He turned and looked at Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian's face changed drastically, and then he understood why he was suddenly suspected.
"General! How could I..."
"No, it's definitely not Advisor Zhao."
Li Zhongwu suddenly raised his head and said with a firm look: "Late yesterday, Ding Man came to the wounded camp to find me with some water, and even brought my usual hand towels and some clothes to change..."
The tent suddenly went quiet. Zhao Tiezhu took a deep breath and said, "Ding Man? Ding Man from your cavalry battalion?"
Chang Hu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he suddenly shouted, "Come here! Capture Ding Man!"
The personal soldiers took the order and left, but the atmosphere in the tent became even more solemn.
Ran Qingxuan gently stroked Yuan Bao's head, thinking: "If it is really this person... then the fluorescent traces make sense.
He first touched the green potion in the central military camp, and then took the cloth towel used by Lieutenant General Li. Although he was careful, he was still stained with some green potion. ”
Li Zhongwu said in disbelief: "He just came to me and delivered the general's message, saying that the lady wanted to see me and asked me to bring more people!
I just thought that Madam wanted to take advantage of the night to replenish the medicines for the wounded camp, so she asked me to go..."
"Great! What a great trick to sow discord!" Chang Hu punched the table.
"If you want to alienate me from my left and right arms, and then take advantage of the chaos..."
Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent, and the guards rushed in in a panic: "General! Timon... Timon was killed!"
"What?!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
Chang Hu's face turned pale: "Where is the body? Lead the way!"
The group hurried to the cavalry camp, only to see Ding Man lying in his tent with his neck turned outward, and he was already dead.
Ran Qingxuan squatted down to check, and suddenly took out a small piece of cloth stained with green fluorescent agent from his clenched palms.
"Sure enough..." She handed the cloth strip to Chang Hu.
"I'm afraid this is the real carrier of the message. Lieutenant General Li's piece is just a frame-up."
Gu Yanchen's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "If he could be killed in the army, there must be more than one spy. This time, the Yigui people..."
"Report..." The scout came running, "The Yigui army is 20 miles away, and the siege vehicles are advancing!"
There was rage burning in Chang Hu's eyes, but he was surprisingly calm. He looked at Li Zhongwu and Zhao Xian who were keeping their heads down and keeping silent, and stopped in front of them.
"Li Zhongwu, Zhao Xian, I have wronged you." He clasped his fists and bowed solemnly.
"I hope you two can understand my mistakes. Everything my sister-in-law provides will change the situation of the entire continent. I have to be cautious!"
Li Zhongwu and Zhao Xian also knew Chang Hu's intentions, and they all said that it would be fine as long as the misunderstanding was resolved.
Seeing that the two of them were not angry or resentful because of his actions just now, Chang Hu breathed a sigh of relief while his eyes became more fierce.
"I will apologize to you two later, but now, follow me to fight the enemy!"
Li Zhongwu knelt on one knee without hesitation: "I am willing to be the vanguard!"
In the night, the drums of war thundered. Yuanbao squatted on the city wall, his golden pupils reflecting the torches in the distance.
Ran Qingxuan stroked his abdomen gently, looked at the backs of Gu Yanchen and Chang Hu standing side by side, and sighed slightly in his heart.
His eyes swept over the busy figures under the city wall. The hundred young soldiers were silently distributing the last few boxes of ammunition, their movements as smooth as flowing water.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would hardly believe that most of these calm and experienced warriors were not even twenty years old.
"Brother Chang." She walked towards the general who was standing with his back to him.
"Are you sure there is no problem with this team of 100 people?"
She couldn't guarantee whether there would be any spies in the gun team if she contacted them first!
