chapter 29
In the Xiang Army camp, Wu Gen was lying on the carriage, covered in blood, with disheveled hair, and extremely miserable. Under the sympathetic eyes of everyone, he slowly walked through the camp.
Along the way, many people walked out of the tents, all with sad expressions on their faces.
The news has spread throughout the whole camp. A man who could have safely guarded Dusui, but for a servant, entered the tiger's den and the dragon's pond without fear of life and death. What a man of faith. Such a feat. It is really a crime without merit.
unfair.
This is the case in the army. It is inevitable that no one will be injured or captured one day. If no one comes to help, there may be only one way to die. Therefore, Wu Gen's move is really a righteous move in Paoze.
Mo Xin held the bridle rope in his hand, with a sad face and heavy steps, slowly pulling the carriage forward.
Wu Gen, who was lying motionless on the car and seemed to have only one breath left, quietly raised his head: "Old Mo, go around again."
Mo Xin kept his eyes straight and whispered: "Are you physically able to walk again?"
"It's okay. The two brothers who were tortured just now had a sense of control. They only heard the sound but not the force. They looked frightened, but they were actually fine. By the way, the commander summoned him alone just now, but he did what he said."
"You can rest assured that Lao Mo is doing his job. He just mentioned his dissatisfaction with Lin Ruoshi's poor command. As for the matter of connecting with other countries, he was ambiguous, making Qu Chang secretly suspicious and driving a wedge in his heart first."
"Okay, I have my own arrangements for the evidence. These days, you can find more brothers in the camp to spread bad words about Lin Ruoshi. I think it won't be difficult with your Lao Mo's connections.
As the saying goes, we are going to lay an unfounded charge on him and ruin his reputation. I suspect that the last time the Great Xia Kingdom invaded Huangzhong Ridge was also caused by this kid. This time, if not
If you pull out this fang, we won't be able to sleep well." Wu Gen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"It's a trivial matter. This kind of gossiping is my specialty. In this way, no matter how quibbling Lin Ruoshi is, his reputation in the camp will be bad and he will have to run away in despair.
Wu Gen, I usually thought that you were only capable of digging holes and harming people, but I didn't expect that you could be so insidious when it came to plotting people." Mo Xin said with emotion.
"My twenty army sticks were not in vain. I just hid in my old home to rest in the name of recovering from my injuries. With An Lin's sincerity, you can start calmly." Seeing the crowd in front of him, Wu Gen buried his head.
He went down, moaning incessantly.
Wu Gen returned to Huangzhong Ridge to recuperate. In the past few days, rumors were spreading in the Xiangjun camp, and they were all pointed at Lin Ruoshi.
Some said that his command was ineffective, resulting in the deaths of his brothers. Some said that he took the opportunity to retaliate, and did evil things to those who had offended him, openly or covertly. Some said that he was disrespectful of the military situation and abused his power. Some even said that he had a knack for Daxia.
, in essence, it was a detailed work mixed into the Xiang army.
Every time he walked around the camp, there were always people criticizing him behind his back. Lin Ruoshi was such a smart person. He also knew that the rumors might be true or false, but their lethality was astonishing. The key was that he could not defend himself.
The more you talk about it, the darker it becomes.
This turbulence arises from the bottom. For this purpose, only by establishing a good relationship with the upper level can we suppress it.
In desperation, Lin Ruoshi had no choice but to hold a banquet and went to several village chiefs one after another, but they all excused themselves because they were busy with military affairs. Later, he made a special complaint to Chief Qu, but Jin Song, an old fox, just said in an official tone that he was upright and upright.
, I am not afraid of nonsense like rumors.
Lin Ruoshi also understood that the reason why these people did not favor him was because he was an outsider and was naturally alienated.
In addition, a middle man who had just obtained Ding status was assigned to join the army. However, many servants in the camp who had been together for decades were still common people. Comparing the two, some people would naturally feel jealous. This jealousy is accompanied by
, all rationality will be thrown away. The person who carried out the evil hand has grasped the psychology of most of the lower-class soldiers, so he used such a simple but fatal method.
Lin Ruoshi had always suspected that Wu Gen was responsible, but after careful investigation, Wu Gen had been recuperating behind closed doors since his return to Huangzhong Ridge and had no contact with outsiders.
In the past few days, the subordinate named He whom he had brought over was sent to deliver a message to the captain's mansion in Dingyuan City, but he never returned. In panic, Lin Ruoshi had no choice but to call the strong guard who had been accompanying him.
Come and defend yourself.
I just didn't expect that this would turn into a stun for me. You know, this is the camp of the Xiang Army, and it is a place with rules. A strong man comes from a rough background, and he is loyal to himself. He saw someone being disrespectful to his son.
, the fist naturally stretched out.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest, the crowd was excited, and under the clamor of one or two interested people, it actually went to Qu Chang Jin Song. With no choice, Jin Song had no choice but to let Lin Ruoshi go back to Dingyuan City temporarily, and then come back when the situation calmed down.
After all, Lin Ruoshi was sent to join the army by the Xiaowei Mansion for training and was not under the jurisdiction of the Xiang Army Camp.
Not two days after Lin Ruoshi left, a powerful horse rushed into the Xiang army camp.
At night, Qu Changjin Song lived. The candlelight flickered. Jin Song and Zhang Yuan sat at the table, looking at a thin piece of paper and a small booklet on the table. Both of them looked solemn.
"Zhang Yuan, who do you think sent this person named He?" Jin Song tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly.
Zhang Yuan, who had followed him for many years, naturally knew that Qu Chang was really angry, otherwise he would not have behaved like this. Zhang Yuan bowed and replied: "Qu Chang, this person named He is a subordinate of Lin Shenjun. As for whether he is
There is no real evidence, so it’s hard to say.
The actual records of the generals in the army were found on their corpses. I am not allowed to say otherwise, but the records are very detailed. The origins, temperaments, and methods of the officers below the rank of captain are all detailed.
You can’t show off your skills.” He said while pointing at the names on the booklet.
Jin Song slapped the table, "Good thief, although this booklet does not involve my defense deployment, troop strength and other secrets, the details of each officer are comprehensive. If there is a war, the opponent will follow the targets contained in the booklet and follow their enemies.
If we change the formation, we will suffer a big loss.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu intercepted this thing, otherwise..." At this point, Jin Song's eyes were like torches, "Go, take two confidants to search Lin Ruoshi's residence, don't make any announcement, and report as soon as possible."
"I understand." Zhang Yuan stood up, clasped his fists, and walked out.
As soon as he went out, Zhang Yuan let out a long breath.
Of course, Lao Zhu in Qu Chang’s mouth is Shopkeeper Zhu. The three of them have known each other for many years and trust each other very much. Of course, he has also received this information. According to Shopkeeper Zhu, the body of the man named He was found outside Muchong City, not far away.
His hiding place is not far away.
When discovered, the man was already dead. After searching his body, he found this booklet. Shopkeeper Zhu was deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter and sent someone to pass the information back. As for whether it has been leaked and who sent it, it will be decided by the camp.
Just now in the house, Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered that when Wu Gen asked Shopkeeper Zhu about his new hiding place, it was a coincidence that this person died not far from his residence. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? He was already right in his heart.
Wu Gen was full of doubts.
Zhang Yuan had heard about some of Lin Ruoshi's relationship with Wu Gen, but he didn't expect that the two would fight so fiercely. The last time Daxia Kingdom raided Huangzhong Ridge, Wu Gen had told him his suspicions, but he didn't expect them to fight so fiercely.
No real evidence found.
Regarding this booklet, it is said that with Wu Gen's ability to only read two big characters, he would not be able to write such exquisite information, but what if it was borrowed from someone else's hand?
If all this is true, these two young men struck from afar with ruthless methods that made me, a veteran who had been in the army for many years, a little scared. Sure enough, the world has changed, and young people are acting differently from their elders.
No, sooner or later, they will take the center stage.
With heavy thoughts, Zhang Yuan took two people and sneaked into Lin Ruoshi's house.
Lin Ruoshi had left, but the house was still neat and spotless. Zhang Yuan carefully turned over the things in the house, but after searching even under the bed, he found nothing of value.
Zhang Yuan shook his head mockingly. If Lin Ruoshi really did it, how could he not take away the evidence of the crime? After restoring everything in the house, he was about to take people out when suddenly a sword hanging on the wall attracted Zhang Yuan's attention.
The scabbard of this sword is wide, and half of the blade is exposed. Standing in front of the long sword, Zhang Yuan always felt that something was wrong.
Yes, everything in this room is neat and orderly, but this sword is not inserted properly, which is really a bit awkward.
He reached out to take off the long sword and pulled it out. There was nothing strange. He had to put the sword back into the sheath, but the sword could not reach the end. Zhang Yuan pulled out the long sword again and shook the scabbard hard. Wow, there was a small book.
The booklet fell to the ground.
In Jin Song's room, Zhang Yuan stood with a bow, not daring to raise his head for a long time.
Jin Song sat at the table, carefully looking through the booklet he got from Lin Ruoshi's house, and comparing it one by one with the one sent by shopkeeper Zhu. After looking at it for a long time, Jin Song let out a sigh of relief, "There are some documents that Lin Ruoshi drafted on weekdays."
Zhang Yuan naturally knew what it meant. He wanted to check the handwriting. "Yes, my subordinates were worried and brought up a document written by Lin Canjun in the past." He took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and presented them.
Jin Song raised his hand to take it, glanced at it carefully, and threw the two pieces of paper lightly on the table, "The handwriting matches."
"How should this matter be handled?" Zhang Yuan asked with a gleam in his eyes.
"Send it to the captain's office and let Captain Yuwen handle it. Submit these two things together. As for whether Lin Ruoshi is a Daxia spy, or just a subordinate who rebelled, or was framed, the captain will decide for himself.
But there was one thing that told the man surnamed Lin to stay far away and not to enter the Xiangjun camp again. These days, because of the agitation in his camp, all the camp commanders were quite critical. No matter what the captain's office did, they still
There is no place for him here in Jin Song. Just go and do it."
Jin Song made up his mind, and Zhang Yuan naturally complied. The next day, he entered Dingyuan City, met with the captain directly, handed over relevant physical evidence, and reported Jin Song's opinion at the same time.
Colonel Yuwen didn't say much, he just asked Zhang Yuan to rush back to the camp and he would handle the matter.
On the barren tomb ridge, Wu Genzheng held two pieces of paper in his hand and looked at the sunlight carefully. After reading for a long time, he said with emotion: "Brother Congyue, your words are really wonderful. No matter whose words you copy, they are all the same. They are amazing."
.”
Shui Congyue said angrily: "I have been copying the masterpieces of various masters since I was a child, so trivial matters like this are not a big deal. From now on, please don't come after me with these harmful tricks." He said and walked away.
Wu Gen had a smile on his face and shouted at his back, "Thank you."
Mo Xin received the news that the matter had been settled, and Lin Ruoshi never returned to the Xiang Army and was driven back to the captain's mansion. As for how the captain Yuwen should deal with it, it was beyond his reach. No matter what, he finally let out a bad breath.
Wu Gen walked to the window. The locust trees in the courtyard were full of green leaves and full of vitality.
In his hand, he was playing with a wooden sign that Shui had given him from Yue. This wooden sign was the military medal of He Na who died outside Muchang City.
"A man should be proud of his ambition and be loyal and courageous. The sun shines on him.
I am not afraid of murderous knives in my life, so why should I be afraid of you acting like a child?" Wu Gen's voice humming a tune sounded in the room.
