C461 Look at how free I am
"Mercy, General!" Hearing the general's words, Shi Haowen felt his knees go weak, both of his knees smashed into the ground, as he cried and pleaded for mercy.
"We have lost our trust in the prince and are willing to accept his punishment!" Fan Tianhe spoke at the same time. He knelt down worriedly, lowering his head and speaking with his powerful voice.
The two of them spoke in two different tones and answered in two different answers. It was clear that they had different ways and concepts in dealing with things. However, in the general's eyes, he liked Fan Tianhe's answer even more. Wrong is wrong, right is right, this was a soldier's logic, it did not contain any unnecessary existence, this was what a pure soldier should do.
Such a person did not deserve to be a soldier. However, in the eyes of the general, this envoy by the name of Shi Haowen was also unable to be a soldier, this honorable and sacred profession. Perhaps, this scoundrel would be more skillful in this job.
"Alright, get up. I won't punish you, after all, you are from the Prince's Mansion. Even if you want to punish them, that is the Prince's own matter!" It's not my turn to punish you! " The general's expression softened a little. Perhaps it was because of Fan Tian and his display of resolution, but his fury had slightly calmed down. At the same time, this matter was too big, and he couldn't decide on his own.
There was also a hidden reason, the saying was' hit dog has to look at its owner '. If he punished the two of them, wouldn't that be slapping the prince in the face?
"General, I think we should inform the king about this matter as soon as possible. Right now, it's only a few days away from Blood Illusion Valley taking the silver. bearded old horse by the side suggested.
"Where was the silver taken?" The general thought for a moment, then nodded his head and asked Fan Tianhe.
"Does the General have a map to the north of Fengyang City?" Fan Tianhe asked.
"Someone, get the map!" The general spoke to the guards outside the tent.
Not long after, the Guard Commander indicated on the map where they set up the Blood Illusion Valley and found the location where the silver was lost.
"I'm sure it's here!" Fan Tian He pointed to a point on the map as he spoke to the general.
"Here, all the way north, hmm ?" "Old horse!" The general leaned forward on the map and carefully studied it for a long time before he spoke to Big Beard.
"Your subordinate is here!" bearded old horse cupped his hands and replied.
"Immediately call for reinforcements and set out, hurry here, Yunshan Mountain!" The general pointed to a spot on the map and said to Big Beard.
"Here?" Old Ma lowered his head to look at the coordinates on the map and asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter who took the silver, as long as they go north, they will definitely pass through the Yunshan Mountain. This is the fastest route, bring your men and go ambush them here. If you find any suspicious people, don't ask about their origins, just chop them off for me!" The general nodded as he explained. At the same time, he was extremely angry.
"Yes, General!" This subordinate will take his leave! " Old Ma did not say anything further. After bowing and accepting the order, he swiftly left the tent, this time taking almost half of the troops with him, preparing and dispatching them before departure. This would take some time, which was why he left the tent and made the necessary arrangements.
"What about us? "General!" Fan Tian He asked.
"You should all rest well here. After a few days, we will rush back to the base camp and await the prince's latest order!" The general thought for a moment and said, "These people can't leave now, it's only a one-sided speech. Without any evidence, these people are also suspected of theft, so they must be monitored."
"When will the general notify the prince?" Fan Tian He continued to ask.
"Wait for night!" In the evening, I arranged for a small group of people to go out of the mountain range and release carrier pigeons! " The general thought for a moment, then replied with a slight frown.
"Why not now?" Fan Tian said with a puzzled expression.
"A small group of people moved at the same time. I was worried that people would discover and suspect us! Furthermore, there is no place for carrier pigeons in this mountain range. If they fly into the sky, they will lose their way! " The general explained with a smile.
"Why is that?" Shi Haowen asked. It was the first time he heard that a carrier pigeon got lost.
"In the beginning, we did not know that after a few times, the carrier pigeons were all thrown into disarray! Thus, we asked about the old mountain people here. Only then did we learn that the mountains here are a bit strange. Let alone the birds, even the beasts here would be lost in the mountains! This is also the reason why I set up my camp here and do not dare to go into the depths! " The general explained in some detail.
"So weird?" Shi Haowen exclaimed.
"Don't think about this first! Bring Lu Baihuan's wife here first, I want to ask around! " The general stopped his off-topic behavior and changed the topic.
"Then should we still send her back?" Shi Haowen asked softly. After all, staying there for one day only made money go into his pocket, so how could such a good thing end so quickly?
"Send me what?" My soldiers have been holding it in for a long time. The general replied coldly. The general disliked this guy who feared death from the bottom of his heart, so he was able to see through this fellow's little thoughts.
"It's the general!" "Then I'll go back and settle the bill with the lady boss of that brothel!" Shi Haowen said with a miserable expression.
"Hurry up and do it! "Your men can stay here. My personal guards will accompany you!" The general waved his hand at Shi Haowen with disgust.
"I will take my leave!" Shi Haowen and Fan Tian said at the same time.
? ?.
Zhao Yiyang's heart was filled with suspicions.
With his experience in intelligence work and his keen sense of intelligence, he was deeply suspicious and puzzled about many aspects of this operation.
Firstly, the incident this time was too sudden, and completely caught people off guard. Even the Surveillance Council who was famous for her intelligence did not receive any relevant information before the incident occurred.
If this was a trivial matter, it would have been fine. However, this matter was far too widespread. From the imperial court to the local officials, and even the private army, this was almost equivalent to the crime of conspiracy.
For Surveillance Council to not receive even the slightest bit of information regarding such a huge matter, it was truly intriguing.
There was something else that made people suspicious. From start to finish, everything had been too smooth, so smooth that it seemed unreal. It was as if someone had arranged everything and was waiting for every character to enter the game, guiding them step by step.
If this was just a trap, then the intelligence of the person who set up this trap was simply too terrifying. He calculated every step of the plan, and maybe there was some deviation in the process, but he did not find any flaw.
If they were on the same side, they would have accepted it as well. Although they were not sure if they would just treat it as an abandoned child, at least this was what they had done to help the Surveillance Council, if this matter were to completely erupt, then the end of the Surveillance Council would probably come.
However, if this person was the enemy, what was he planning to do? And for what? What did he get out of it?
Zhao Yiyang could not understand nor could he make sense of the situation. However, the smart did not say these thoughts to anyone else, but as the situation developed, Zhao Yiyang felt that it was necessary for him to tell these things to the newly appointed General Gongsun.
After all, when he sent back the information, there would be a series of follow-up military actions. If all of this was a trap, then what would be lost would not be his dozens of people, but the core strength of the entire Surveillance Council. That was the sharp sword of the Surveillance Council, something that could not be easily broken.
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. Zhao Yiyang wished that he could run back and tell Marshal Gongsun about this right now.
Just as Zhao Yiyang was deep in thought, a voice interrupted him, and the man said to Zhao Yiyang: "May I ask, is this Master Zhao Zhao Yiyang?"
Zhao Yiyang looked at the person who spoke. This person looked to be around 20-30 years old, but looked to be extremely capable and steady, and was extremely resolute and decisive. His words seemed to be very appropriate, at least from Zhao Yiyang's perspective, this first impression was not offensive.
"Yes, I am!" Who are you? " Zhao Yiyang looked at it and asked vigilantly.
The three words' Zhao Yiyang ', was not a famous scholar in this world, nor was it a famous noble or noble gentleman. There was a person who could call out the three words' Zhao Yiyang ', was it not an enemy of the clan, or his friend or colleague, but he did not recognize the person in front of him, and he suddenly appeared here, so before he could confirm the identity of the person, he had to be extremely cautious.
"Greetings Master Zhao. I have come under orders to assist Master Zhao and the rest! You can call me Qiao Wu, my master's surname is' Su '! " The person said respectfully.
"Help?" Surname 'Su'? You are from the 'Baishang'? " Zhao Yiyang knew about Su Wanyue's existence and also knew that she came from the 'Baishang'. Furthermore, the people from the 'Baishang' were also cooperating with him, so his first reaction was for them.
Of course, before Zhao Yiyang left, Su Wanyue had also said that there would be a team of people who would assist them, so it was likely that the capable woman was referring to the team that she was in right now!
"That's right, we've already cleared out the sentries in front. Lord and the few brothers can go with ease!" Qiao Wu bowed and replied.
"Then lead the way first!" Zhao Yiyang nodded as he responded.
Not long after, the group stealthily made their way to the observation post's hiding spot and cautiously made their way to it.
"Boss, I've brought the person, this is Master Zhao!" Qiao Wu said softly as he pointed at Zhao Yiyang's introduction.
"Hello, Master Zhao, I am the person in charge of this operation, my surname is Yan, you can call me 'Xian Da'!" The leader looked at Zhao Yiyang and politely introduced himself.
Hearing the other party reporting this unknown code name or something, Zhao Yiyang was suddenly speechless. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "What kind of names are these?
