This method is really vicious. They are planning to bury all the soldiers of Xiliang Kingdom here.
That bastard Cong Chongqiu, if he hadn't done it on purpose, how could so many soldiers have been lost in the last war?
It turned out that this was all done by Cong Chongqiu and the enemy forces.
The more Shi Qiang thought about the contents of the letter, the more he felt that Cong Chongqiu had indeed betrayed the Western Liang Kingdom.
"What do you mean!?" Cong Chongqiu looked at Shi Qiang with a puzzled look.
What do you mean only the three of us know?
Does that mean there's a traitor among the three of them?
Thinking of this, Cong Chongqiu glared at Shi Qiang and cursed loudly.
"You mean I'm the traitor?"
"I was told that you sneakily called the old patriarch over here, and it turns out you wanted to put the blame on me."
"If I hadn't followed you, were you planning to just convict me of a crime?"
Shi Qiang's heart was trembling with fear at Cong Chongqiu's roar, but he still stiffened his neck and stubbornly refuted.
"You know it in your heart."
"If you hadn't told the enemy about requesting reinforcements, how would the reinforcements have known about it?"
"Also, it was you who refused to give me all your troops last time that led to our defeat."
"Why didn't you give me soldiers back then? It's because... Humph!"
When Shi Qiang said this, he looked at Cong Chongqiu's murderous eyes and didn't dare to finish his words.
It’s all the old patriarch’s fault. Why did he reveal the contents of the letter?
Knowing that the traitor was right in front of them and that they couldn't do anything to Cong Chongqiu, couldn't they just find a reason to cover up the letter?
Now, the old patriarch did not hide it and attacked Cong Chongqiu right in the face, but Cong Chongqiu denied it.
Looking at Cong Chongqiu's expression, if he continued talking, Cong Chongqiu would kill him on the spot.
"Let your father's dog fart!" Cong Chongqiu sprayed water at Shi Qiang's big face.
"Your father has a dog brain. Just because you hit me with your lips, I am the traitor?"
"With your two balls, what can you possibly figure out?"
"You can't even see through such a simple divisive tactic. Why don't you just wash your neck clean and hand it over to the enemy to chop it off..."
As soon as Cong Chongqiu heard Shi Qiang's words, he knew what was written in the letter without even reading the contents.
"The enemy just casually released a pigeon, and you jumped up and down so busy that it made you look like a fool."
"You're so proactive. I suspect you're the one colluding with the enemy. You deliberately obtained this letter from them in order to frame me."
Cong Chongqiu glared at Shi Qiang fiercely and spoke fluently.
Shi Qiang was so shocked by Cong Chongqiu that he had no power to fight back. He did not move back until Cong Chongqiu stopped talking. He glared at Cong Chongqiu and shouted,
"You—you're blaming me!"
“This is my first time in Crescent City. How can I collude with the enemy?”
"As for you, you have been stationed in Crescent City all this time, giving you plenty of opportunities to collude with the enemy."
Shi Qiang moved towards the old patriarch while speaking. When he got to the old patriarch, his voice became higher.
"Also, the Wumabu official was murdered right under your nose. Can you not take any responsibility at all?"
"So many archers and secret guards were wiped out overnight. Who could have such ability?"
"Heh!" Shi Qiang glanced at the old patriarch, and seeing his increasingly gloomy face, he spoke even more excitedly.
"I just don't believe it. A madman could kill so many masters without even a trace of a fight."
"This is obviously a crime committed by someone you know. It's you-----"
Shi Qiang raised his hand and pointed at Cong Chongqiu angrily.
"It's your father!!" Cong Chongqiu sneered back, "If only I could have dealt with so many masters so easily and without anyone noticing."
After a pause, Cong Chongqiu stared at Shi Qiang and continued,
"I'll kill you, you pig-brained one, first!"
His martial arts skills are very powerful in the army, but not strong enough to kill His Majesty's secret guards.
Even if he wanted to kill Shi Qiang, he couldn't do it in one blow.
When Shi Qiang heard that Cong Chongqiu wanted to kill him, he trembled with fear.
"You want to kill and silence someone?!"
"If something happens to me..."
“Shut up!!” The old patriarch watched the two generals bickering like shrews, his head pounding with anger.
The old patriarch glanced coldly at Shi Qiang, and finally his gaze fell darkly on Cong Chongqiu.
After a moment, the old patriarch said calmly,
"I believe General Cong will not do anything that would lead to treason."
"This matter-----" The old patriarch lowered his eyes to look at the letter in his hand,
"It must be a divisive tactic of the enemy. Don't trust it."
"With a formidable enemy at hand, we should unite as one and capture Shuitian City before the New Year."
"It is said that the livestock raised in Shuitian City can be eaten. Instead of arguing, why not think of a way to capture Shuitian City as soon as possible and provide more food for the soldiers?"
The old patriarch believed 20 percent of the contents of the letter.
However, there is not enough evidence at the moment, so it is not appropriate to confront Cong Chongqiu directly.
What Shi Qiang said was indeed what he was confused about.
However, he still needs to investigate this matter and cannot convict Cong Chongqiu so casually.
Shi Qiang looked at the old patriarch in shock. He didn't expect that the old patriarch would just blow off such a big thing so lightly.
How can this be possible!!!
"Old Patriarch..."
"No need to say more." The old patriarch glanced at Shi Qiang calmly and interrupted him directly.
"This matter ends here. Do not talk about it in the army and disrupt their morale!"
With Shi Qiang's brain, he could really do such a brainless thing.
Shi Qiang was so angry that his teeth were gritting, "......"
Who is disrupting the morale of the troops? It must be a traitor!
He originally wanted to get the old patriarch to join him on the same front, but he didn't expect the old patriarch to be so cowardly.
Cong Chongqiu sneered at Shi Qiang, then looked at the old patriarch with a cold gaze.
"The old patriarch is indeed very righteous..."
"I have to see the wounded, so I won't stay any longer."
After saying that, Cong Chongqiu turned around and was about to walk out. Just as he took a step, he turned on his toes, walked to the military doctor, and snatched the carrier pigeon from the military doctor's hand.
With a "crack", Cong Chongqiu broke the neck of the cooing pigeon.
"Just use it to replenish the wounded..."
Shi Qiang widened his eyes in shock. After watching Cong Chongqiu leave with the dead pigeon, he felt a chill on his neck.
He felt the threat from Cong Chongqiu, as if that blow was twisting his neck.
"Old Patriarch..."
Shi Qiang looked at Cong Chongqiu's arrogant back, and looked at the old patriarch with a depressed and angry expression.
This is simply too lawless. Don't even want to give face to the Wu Ma family?
Does this reckless man Cong Chongqiu know the power and status of the Wu Ma family? He actually dares to threaten the two of them so arrogantly.
