Brahma City.
A border city between Xiliang and Daliang.
The Xiao family's private army meeting hall.
"Deputy General Zhao, the dog emperor has abandoned the donkey after it has served its purpose and slandered General Xiao as a traitor. Let's take our brothers and rush to the capital to rescue General Xiao."
"Yes, kill the dog emperor. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Didn't the dog emperor say that General Xiao intended to rebel? Then let's make it true and directly let General Xiao become emperor."
"I've already said it before, the dog emperor has no good intentions, General Xiao shouldn't go back, and the dog emperor wouldn't dare to do anything to the women of the Xiao family."
"Damn it! If the Xiao family wanted to rebel, it would be the turn of those petty-minded Yuwen family to become emperor..."
........
Zhao Hu frowned and looked at the news sent by the spy in his hand, his teeth chattering.
Listening to the voices of his brothers, he turned his head to look at the military advisor, Changsun Dongcai, who had been silent the whole time.
"Military Advisor, what do you think about this?"
This group of carefree soldiers are good at charging into battle.
This kind of strategic matter still needs professionals to do it. He can't take risks with the 30,000 private soldiers that the Xiao family has trained with great difficulty - no, 20,000 private soldiers.
The Xiao family's private army officially has 20,000 soldiers, but in fact it has expanded to 30,000.
It’s not that the Xiao family is unwilling to report it, but Emperor Wu of Liang’s expression is too obvious, and the military advisor disagrees to report it.
When the brothers in the meeting hall heard what Zhao Hu said, they immediately stopped cursing and looked at the military advisor.
Chang Sun Dongcai shook the fan in his hand, frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Don't act rashly, wait a little longer!"
When the lieutenant generals heard that they had to wait, they immediately got angry and started yelling at the top of their lungs.
"What's the point of waiting? If you wait any longer, General Xiao will die."
"I don't think there's any point in waiting. Let's not defend Brahma City anymore. If Xiliang invades, let the dog emperor deal with the headache himself."
"Those women and children of the Xiao family were exiled to Ningguta. How could they survive? That road is not easy to travel."
"That's right. General Xiao is still seriously injured. If the dog emperor continues to suffer on the road, he won't die."
.........
"Stop arguing." Zhao Hu yelled, frowning and looking at Changsun Dongcai.
"Did the military advisor find anything wrong?"
When General Xiao returned to the capital, he said that all decisions in the military camp had to be consulted with the military advisor before being made.
The military advisor disagrees with sending troops, he must have discovered something.
Chang Sundong raised his eyelids and looked at the soldiers in front of him who were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
He put away his fan and tapped it lightly on the table.
"The spy's message came at the wrong time."
"According to the time General Xiao returned to the capital, he only arrived yesterday. Even if Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to charge General Xiao with treason and exile the Xiao family, the earliest he would issue an imperial decree would be today."
"The imperial edict was just issued today, and we've already received the news? Don't you find it strange?"
"From the capital to Brahma City, even if you ride at full speed, it will take five days."
Chang Sun Dongcai looked at the people who were lost in thought and continued,
"Someone leaked the news in advance just to see us get into chaos and cause trouble so they could seize the opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"Bang!"
Zhao Hu slammed his fist on the table, his forehead throbbing with anger. "You treacherous dog emperor."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the Xiao family being exiled?"
"Yeah, it's torture for me to just wait." The others shouted at the top of their lungs.
Chang Sun Dongcai thought for a moment, glanced at everyone and said,
"General Xiao will definitely send back a message. If there is no news in five days, we can make plans."
"Fuck it..."
"Damn it, what the hell is going on..."
......
The soldiers rolled up their sleeves, cursing and looking angry.
No matter how anxious or angry they are, they still have to listen to the military advisor.
The military advisor's brain works better than theirs.
If General Xiao were here, we would definitely listen to him, because Xiao Yunzhan's brain is better than that of a military advisor.
These brave but foolish rough guys had to suppress their anger and anxiety.
Chang Sun Dongcai was fanning himself with a frown on his face.
He had already sent two trusted confidants to the capital at full speed to gather information, and had also arranged for a group of people to guard the road leading to Ningguta, ready to rob people at any time.
He is the only one who knows about this, and he cannot tell anyone at the moment. If the news leaks out, Xiao Yunzhan will have a hard time coming back alive.
Of course it would be best if Xiao Yunzhan sent them a secret letter.
Otherwise, he can only hope that the people he sent can rescue Xiao Yunzhan.
He deliberately delayed for five days to give his men time to kidnap the people.
God bless General Xiao, please hold on...
.......
Xiao Yunzhan lay on Lin Yiran's back, his tight clothes soaked.
Sweat dripped down his fingers that were hanging in front of Lin Yiran and onto the ground.
He and Lin Yi were back to back, their chests covered in sweat, and their chests felt hot and stuffy.
Lin Yiran rolled her eyes helplessly. If her second sister-in-law hadn't been following her closely, she would have told Xiao Yunzhan long ago.
"Please, relax a little. I'm carrying you. Aren't you tired of being so stiff?"
It was very easy for her to carry Xiao Yunzhan on her back and she didn't sweat at all.
But Xiao Yunzhan couldn't help but sweat.
She was sweating so much that it almost drowned her. Her back was soaked in Xiao Yunzhan's sweat, and the sweat flowed down both sides of her spine.
