Chapter 28(1/2)
Huangzhong Ridge, Wu Gen and others have been back for three days.
Mo Xinye can already walk on the ground and has served in the army for decades without any injuries. However, this trip to Mucheng City almost cost him his life. Every time he mentions it, Mo Xin sighs.
At night, Wu Gen and Mo Xin were sitting in the room.
"Old Mo, this time I went to Mucheng City to do a detailed job. How could I be so careless? There is something hidden here." The candlelight shone on Wu Gen's face, flickering brightly and dimly.
Mo Xin sighed and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Looking back, this matter is indeed a bit strange. Ordinarily, the three of us entered the city carefully and did not come into contact with others. But when we went out to inquire about it the next day, we were caught by someone.
Take it for granted. There is no such coincidence in the world. It's like it's just waiting for us to take the bait."
"By the way, does anyone know how long it took from receiving the order to setting off before traveling?" Wu Gen continued to cross-examine.
"Only one day, after receiving the order, I set off with the other two people the next day. Apart from the three of us, only Lin Canjun knew that the three of us lived together that night and did not meet anyone else. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?
Place." Seeing Wu Gen's serious expression, Mo Xin was also a little nervous.
"That means that even if the agent arranged by the other party gets the news, it will be too late to send back the news so quickly. Huh? Lin Canjun, which Lin Canjun?" Wu Gen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Lin Ruoshi, he was sent by the captain's office. By the way, this person seems to have just completed his journey to the afterlife." Mo Xin explained.
"It turns out it's him. So we're right." Wu Gen let out a long breath, "Does he know about our relationship?"
Mo Xin thought for a while, "You should know that, and you asked me about the situation in Huangzhong Ridge."
Wu Gen stood up, frowning, and paced back and forth in the room. Mo Xin asked suspiciously: "What, are you having a holiday?"
Wu Gen gave a high-five and said, "Yes, Lao Mo, if something happened to you this time, it's hard to say that I was really involved." After saying that, he sat down at the table again and recounted some of the situations he had with Lin Ruoshi on his way to death. This was also his fault.
, he didn’t tell Mo Xin about the trial after he came back, and he suffered such a big loss because he was unprepared.
"No wonder, no wonder, I said that I, a servant, was attracted by the army and recruited into the big tent. It turned out that I was waiting here." Mo Xin's beard trembled with anger, "He won't trouble you.
Instead, he attacked me, which is disgusting and hateful."
"Oh, blame me for being careless. By the way, do you know the man who escaped?" Wu Gen asked.
Mo Xin was startled and stroked his beard, "Yes, yes, what you said reminded me. This person's surname is He. He was the one who passed on the passwords Lin Ruoshi gave us. Damn it, no wonder he did it alone."
He escaped, or maybe he was sold by him.
Wu Gen, I can't swallow this breath. It's fine if I'm not careful, but I've been tricked by life. If you bully us, if you don't think of a way to fight back, I won't be named Mo." He said with a slap.
Slammed it on the table.
Wu Gen smiled and said, "Old Mo, that's natural. We are the only ones bullying others, so how can we let others take advantage of us? Come on, let's sum it up and think of a comprehensive way to see how to deal with Lin Ruoshi.
Knock it down."
The two of them weighed carefully in front of the candlelight, and finally decided on a way to deal with Lin Ruoshi.
The night was already dark, and Mo Xin yawned, "Wu Gen, you are sure to send me back to the camp tomorrow. You know, if you act without permission, but you have violated military rules, you will definitely be punished, even with dozens of military sticks."
It's light. It would be better if I go back alone and say I escaped from Mucheng City by luck. In this way, I will have no merit and no fault. Wouldn't it be better?"
Wu Gen shook his head slightly, sighed and said, "You think this side won't know about such a big movement outside Muchong City. That's all. It's better to go with the flow and come up with a bitter trick to stabilize Lin Ruoshi."
The two of them discussed it thoroughly and went over the details carefully before resting.
Outside the Xiangjun camp, Shachu was rushing back when suddenly a stone flew over and hit him in the forehead, "You son of a bitch, get out of here, dare you tease your Grandpa Sha." Shachu yelled and cursed, only to see Wu Gen hiding in a corner.
He waved to himself from behind a tree.
"Hey, your kid is back." Sha Chu rushed to the tree and asked: "These days, I was worried that you would be caught by the people of Daxia Kingdom. I was thinking about burning some paper money for you when, but I didn't
It’s a waste of time for brothers.”
Wu Gen smiled and said: "Brother Sha is unreasonable. How could he curse my brother like this? Is Zhang Tuzhang here? Can you please move here?"
"Why is it so sneaky? Why don't we just go to the camp to see it?" Sha Chu was a little strange. Looking at Wu Gen's appearance, it was not a good thing.
"Brother Sha, please tell Chief Zhang that we have something secret to discuss." As he said this, Wu Gen threw a bottle of wine over.
"Yes, when there is trouble, I am Brother Sha, and when there is nothing, I am Little Shasha. For the sake of the wine, I will go and report it. Whether I come or not depends on the wishes of the village chief."
"Very good, very good, I'll wait here."
After Sha Chu left, less than half an hour later, Zhang Yuan was seen riding a horse.
When he was in front of him, Zhang Yuan got off his horse and looked around, "You are so brave. You did such a big thing in Mucheng City and you dared to run back to the camp. As soon as the intelligence was sent back, you ran over.
Well, what do you want to do?"
Wu Gen waved his hand, and Mo Xin walked out from his hiding place. His clothes were in rags, his body was stained with blood, and a lot of the goatee on his chin was burned off, giving him a miserable look.
As soon as he saw Zhang Yuan, Mo Xin knelt down with a plop, holding Zhang Yuan's thigh and crying bitterly, "Captain, Xiao Mo went to Mucheng City and was killed by a traitor. He almost never came back. If
If Wu Shichang hadn't risked his life to save me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you again, Chief. Oh, Chief, you have to make the decision for me."
Zhang Yuan shook it a few times, but Mo Xin seemed to be glued to it, holding on to his leg tightly, "Okay, it's good to come back. It's considered brotherly love for Wu Gen. After all, he saved you. You said,
Who framed you, the commander of this village will definitely decide with you...Okay, let me go first, what kind of behavior is this?"
Wu Gen winked at Mo Xin, who finally let go of Zhang Yuan's thigh and brushed away the tears on his clothes.
The corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth twitched a few times, "Tell me, who harmed you."
"It's Lin Ruoshi." Mo Xin said loudly.
Zhang Yuan looked surprised, "Lin joins the army? Mo Xin, you must not say anything without evidence. You must know that if a common man falsely accuses someone, he will be beheaded." Lin Ruoshi was sent by the school captain's office and was responsible for espionage. On weekdays,
He was also somewhat aloof, and he didn't have many interactions with these native-born Xiang army officers.
"Sir, if you give me ten courages, I won't dare to falsely accuse you of joining the army. That's it." Mo Xin told the story of how the three of them were arrested when they went to Mucheng City, but only one of them escaped.
Moreover, he added fuel to the fire and described in detail how the escaped man named He was unusual and had a very close relationship with Lin Ruoshi. All in all, Lin Ruoshi was most likely responsible for this incident.
Zhang Yuan took a breath of air, "If what you said is true, then Lin Junjun is somewhat involved. But, how can you convince others with just your words? Is there any other evidence?"
Wu Gen interjected, "Don't worry, Commander, the evidence will be there soon. By the way, does that shopkeeper Zhu have a new hiding place? In addition to contacting you, is there anyone in the camp who can contact him?"
.”
Zhang Yuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Besides me, the Qu Chang also knows where Shopkeeper Zhu is hiding. What is Wu Shi Chang hiding from me?" He glanced at Wu Gen meaningfully, "This is Lin Canjun.
The subordinates in the Xiaowei Mansion cannot move without solid evidence."
"The commander of the village has always been very aware of everything and has nothing to say in his eyes. How dare I hide it from you, old man? I just haven't got the evidence yet, so I ask the commander to wait for a few days." Wu Gen said with a smile.
"Oh, you dare to call me out for such a frivolous and unspecified matter. Tell me, what else is there?" Zhang Yuan saw Wu Gen's flattering expression and knew that there must be something wrong with this kid.
beg.
Wu Gen rubbed his hands, "This is not an act without a military order. The commander will definitely punish me. I also ask Zhang Tuen Commander to change the situation so that the punishment can be lighter. I am yours. If the punishment is too severe, wouldn't it be a punishment?"
It hurts your face." After saying that, he stepped forward and tapped Zhang Yuan's shoulder in a very awkward manner.
Zhang Yuan's body trembled and he flicked Wu Gen's hand away, "Stay away from me, disgusting. I already have a family and I don't dare to let someone like you into the family."
Okay, I'll say hello to Commander Qu in advance. Although he went out without authorization, he finally saved his own people and compromised Daxia's prestige. He deserves a light punishment. You two stay here and wait for news from me.
Enter the camp again."
After saying that, Zhang Yuan got up and returned to the camp. That night, Shachu came to find him and told Wu Gen that he could enter the camp the next day and there would be no worries about his life.
The next day, two people stumbled in outside the Xiangjun camp.
The two men's clothes were in tatters, their hair was messy, their faces were red and black, they were limping with sticks and supporting each other, like two wandering beggars.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp looked puzzled and shouted: "Where did it come from? Stop and don't break into the camp. If you go further, you will shoot arrows."
I saw one of them yelling hoarsely: "Xiao Wuzi, I am your brother Mo Xin. I finally escaped from the enemy camp and came here to recover."
The soldier named Xiao Wuzi rubbed his eyes, but no, this is Lao Mo from the camp. He quickly said: "Old Mo, why is it so miserable? I have heard the news about your accident, and the brothers are still discussing it.
I’m burning some paper money for you, but I don’t want to come back alive. Fast forward, fast forward.”
These two people were Wu Gen and Mo Xin. After getting the news about Zhang Yuan, they dressed up carefully in the morning. They looked as miserable as they could. After struggling for a long time, they finally arrived at the gate of the camp. Soon, the movement of the two people
It attracted the attention of the people in the camp, and everyone came out of the camp to watch.
"Isn't this Mo Xin? The person next to him seems to be Wu Gen, the one who walked the road to death."
"Yes, yes, what happened? It's such a tragic situation."
"I heard that Mo Xin was captured by the Daxia people and was beheaded. I didn't expect that he came back alive."
"Could it be that Wu Gen or something who rescued him? It's really rare. In the past, the soldiers worked carefully. Once caught, nine out of ten people would die outside."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, an order came from Qu Chang's military tent, asking Wu Gen and his men to return to the tent.
After passing through the crowd, Wu Gen and Mo Xin arrived at the military tent tremblingly with sad faces. When they entered the tent, all the officers above Qu's commander and above had arrived. Seeing the two men's miserable state, Qu Chang Jin Song couldn't help but frown.
frown.
Zhang Yuan's face twitched when he saw Wu Gen's appearance.
Jin Song glanced at everyone in the camp, and they all had expressions of unbearable expression on their faces. He could only sigh and said, "Take two chairs and let them sit down." After Wu Gen and Mo Xin sat down, Jin Song said:
"I already know what happened between you two. Let me briefly tell you what happened so that everyone in the camp can judge."
Mo Xin glanced at Lin Ruoshi, who was standing behind Jin Song, stood up slowly, "Ahem." He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed repeatedly. When he took his hand away, there was a pool of bright red blood on his palm, which was shocking.
Wu Gen glanced sideways, "Good guy, Jiang is still very old, and he can use such a method. He really spent a lot of money."
