Chang Sun Dongcai's eyes lit up, and he excitedly stood up and walked around the table, taking the secret letter from the spy with trembling hands.
It has been eight days, and if he doesn't receive any more secret letters from Xiao Yunzhan, he really can't control those rough guys anymore.
Chang Sun Dongcai excitedly opened the secret letter, and when he saw Xiao Yunzhan's handwriting on it, he finally let go of his worries.
"Hurry up and inform Vice General Zhao and the others to go to the meeting hall."
The servant responded and ran out quickly.
A moment later, all the important members of the Xiao family's private army arrived at the meeting hall.
Chang Sun Dongcai looked solemn as he glanced at everyone one by one.
Zhao Hu was scratching his head anxiously. "Military Advisor, stop staring. Tell me, is there any news about General Xiao?"
Zhang Sundong looked at Zhao Hu's anxious expression and handed him the secret letter.
"This is a secret letter written by General Xiao himself. Please take a look."
Zhao Hu's eyes lit up, he grabbed the secret letter from the military advisor's hand and opened it hurriedly to take a look.
After reading it, he sighed deeply and handed it to the left and right lieutenant generals who were craning their necks anxiously.
Soon, the secret letter was circulated in the meeting hall.
Chang Sun Dongcai glanced at the secret letter that was returned to his hand, raised his eyelids, and looked at everyone with a serious face.
"General Xiao has ordered that no action be taken rashly. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be punished according to military law!"
The soldiers were so angry that they clenched their back teeth.
However, this was indeed General Xiao's handwritten letter. Even if they felt unwilling, they could only wait.
Wait for General Xiao's next instructions. As long as General Xiao is alive, they will have hope.
After Chang Sun Dongcai came out of the meeting hall, he did not return to the tent but went straight back to the mansion.
Less than half an hour after returning to the mansion, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in front of the military advisor's window.
Chang Sun Dongcai frowned, took off the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's foot, poured out the note inside and opened it.
"really!?"
Chang Sun Dongcai looked at the contents of the note, his pupils suddenly trembled, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Good, good!! Very good!"
That night, Chang Sun Dongcai did not alarm anyone in the military camp, but directly contacted the hundreds of secret guards that Xiao Yunzhan had left for him before he left.
Xiao Yunzhan had been secretly training these secret guards since his father and brother died on the battlefield.
He and Xiao Yunzhan had always suspected that the old general and his men had died under mysterious circumstances.
With the martial arts skills of the old general and his two sons, ordinary people could not easily hurt them, so how could they die without a complete body?
That night, hundreds of secret guards split up into small groups, infiltrated from various parts of Brahma City, and quickly headed towards the capital.
...........
Capital city.
Minister of Revenue Chai Fu.
"Sir, General Xiao killed the officers and ran away. I don't know if we should continue to follow him."
The spy knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to mention their negligence.
"What!?"
Chai Yuanyu stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open in shock.
"Are you sure it was General Xiao who did it? He was so badly injured, how could he have killed so many officers?"
He saw with his own eyes that Xiao Yunzhan's back was broken, and heard that he was also hit by two arrows. How could he heal so quickly?
The spy lowered his head and said to himself, "Oh no."
He should have said that General Xiao was kidnapped, but he made a mistake in the excitement, and now he can only make the best of it.
The spy said stubbornly,
"Yes, I saw it clearly, it was General Xiao."
After a pause, the spy continued, "I heard from Madam Xiao that she used a secret medicine on General Xiao. Plus, General Xiao is a very skilled martial artist, so he was able to recover so quickly..."
After saying this, the spy let out a long sigh of relief.
At this critical moment, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of such a perfect excuse. Old Madam Xiao did say this, and he heard it on the roof.
Chai Yuanyu frowned tightly and walked back and forth several times with his hands behind his back.
After a while, he stared at the spy intently and said, "Shut your mouth tightly. Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you don't know anything."
The fact that Xiao Yunzhan killed the official and escaped must not be revealed from him.
He is just a civil servant, so how can he interfere in the affairs of military officers? He should just concentrate on finding the stolen items.
The spy was delighted and nodded repeatedly.
There is no evidence now, and it will have nothing to do with him if it is brought up again in the future.
At the same time, the mighty general Bai Hong also learned from his subordinates that Xiao Yunzhan's family had killed the officials and escaped.
Bai Hong laughed happily, pulled his deputy general to the martial arts training ground, and had a good fight.
He felt very happy when he thought that Emperor Wu of Liang had not yet received the news of Xiao Yunzhan's escape.
Du Tianli, who was sent by Emperor Wu of Liang, was galloping on his horse at this time.
Seeing the Guangfengcheng Post Station right in front of him, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the horse under him started foaming at the mouth, its limbs trembling, and it fell straight to the ground.
Du Tianli endured the pain in his knees and legs and jumped off the horse before it fell.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses falling heavily one after another was heard behind him.
Looking back, I saw that all six palace guards had jumped off their horses.
Some horses fell down and became unresponsive, while others were twitching all over.
Running for two days and two nights straight, not only the horse couldn't stand it, but he, the rider, couldn't stand it either.
Du Tianli swallowed hard, his legs stiff, and walked towards the Guangfengcheng Post Station in great pain.
The postmaster saw from afar a group of people with dusty faces and strange gait walking towards the post station.
Before the postmaster could ask any questions, Du Tianli directly showed his Imperial Guard badge and asked in a hoarse voice,
"Have any escort officers with dozens of prisoners stayed here in the past two days?"
The postmaster nodded and said, "Yes, Officer Meng and his men stayed there yesterday morning."
"Is it still there?!" Du Tianli's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
The postmaster was startled. "No—he's not here. He left at three quarters past noon yesterday."
“Ah!!! Aaaaaaah!!!”
Du Tianli was furious when he heard this, and roared hoarsely, "Meng Zhuang, I'll fuck your mother..."
The person he wanted to kill most at this moment was Meng Zhuang.
The postmaster was so frightened by Du Tianli's crazy look that he didn't dare to breathe.
At this time, a guard came forward and said,
"Boss, something's wrong. Meng Zhuang left yesterday, and we didn't see him on the way back and forth. Could something have happened to them?"
Du Tianli suddenly stopped talking and came back to his senses.
Yes, it’s understandable that they missed him when they went there, but they didn’t see him on the way back either.
Du Tianli frowned and looked towards the official road.
Something must have happened to Meng Zhuang and his group.
If Xiao Yunzhan was not killed, could his head still be saved?
After a while, Du Tianli turned his head and looked at the postmaster, and shouted,
"Prepare some horses for me immediately, go!"
