As soon as Zhu Jianyu opened his eyes, the guard couldn't wait to say, "General, General Wang Long was killed last night, and his body was hung at the gate of the county government office."
Zhu Jianyu heard the buzzing in his head and stood up quickly. He didn't even have time to put on his coat and hurried to the gate of the county government office.
When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, the scene in front of him made him tremble with fear.
Wang Lung's naked upper body.
A sheet was tied around his neck and tied to the beam of the county government gate.
Zhu Jianyu stamped his feet and said to the guard next to him, "Why are you still standing there? Put General Wang down quickly."
Everyone rushed forward and quickly removed Wang Lung's body.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and Wang Lei and his men came over. When they saw Wang Long's appearance, everyone burst into tears.
"Brother, brother, you died miserably."
Wang Lei knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Wang Long's corpse, wiped his tears, stood up and looked at Zhu Jianyu, who pulled out the scimitar with a canglang sound.
Zhu Jianyu was startled, looked at Wang Lei, and asked in surprise, "General Wang, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean, Zhu Jianyu, let me ask you. General Zhu Yan was killed earlier, and then Jue Ding Taoist was arrested. General Wang was killed again just two days after he came here. You are the only one who has gone around the city. Safe and sound.”
Wang Lei's words immediately resonated with everyone present, and everyone used their weapons to surround Zhu Jianyu and several of his soldiers.
Zhu Jianyu was about to cry at this moment. Wang Lei was right. It was true that they were all killed and he was safe. But he was also confused. What does this have to do with him?
"Everyone, I'm just a deputy general. You can be forgiven for not killing me. After all, General Zhu and General Wang are both chief generals."
But at this time Zhu Jianyu explained like this. Seems so pale and feeble.
Wang Lei sneered and waved his hand, "Put him in custody and wait until I report to the commander before making a decision."
Zhu Jianyu had no choice but to follow everyone into the side of the county government office. Zhu Jianyu was pushed directly into a side room.
There was a bed and several stools in the room. Zhu Jianyu lay down on the bed, and several guards sat on the stools. Everyone stared at each other.
Zhu Jianyu closed his eyes helplessly, "Everyone, please rest. I'm afraid there won't be any news back today."
Zhu Jianyu's guess was correct. Zhu Meng on the mountain was also very surprised when he received Wang Lei's report.
Generals were killed one after another, which had a great impact on military morale.
Zhu Meng put his hands behind his back and walked around the room for more than ten or twenty times, and finally shook his head, "It can't be Jianyu who did it."
"Jianyu is my clan brother, and I still know his character very well."
Zhang Liao looked cautious, "Commander, I still ordered Wang Lei to thoroughly investigate the city. It is probably the murderer of General Zhu who did it."
Zhu Meng sighed, "What's the use of investigating? Didn't the Jueding Taoist turn Qingniu County upside down? He didn't even find out the murderer of Zhu Yan."
"Then what do you think the commander should do?"
Zhu Meng spoke carefully and calmly, "Wang Lei is temporarily in charge of the Qingniu County soldiers and horses. Tell him to move to the military camp to strengthen defense and stop letting the enemy take advantage of the loopholes."
"In addition, I told him that he must hold on. No matter what happens in the city, he must hold on to Qingniu County."
"By the way, wait until dark before sending the message back."
Zhang Liao was very puzzled, "Commander, it's better to send it back as soon as possible in order to stabilize the morale of the army."
Zhu Meng shook his head, "Now Wang Lei and others are getting angry and asking him to let Zhu Jianyu go, but he has decided not to do it. It is better to wait for a day, and wait until their anger is almost gone, then this matter will go smoothly."
After hearing Zhu Meng's words, Zhang Liao gave a thumbs up, "The general still understands people's hearts!"
The day passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei and others had appeared in the canyon.
Following the memory, I found the place where they left.
What made them even more delighted was that there were actually several ropes draped here.
Wang Long once sent people to explore the canyon here, so he left a lot of ropes. The people took away the ropes but did not take them away, but it left Chen Xiaobei and the others with convenience.
Chen Xiaobei found a secluded place and simply drew the topographic map of the mountain.
"Everyone, let's climb up from here and walk up. We will reach a dogwood forest about seven or eight miles away."
"That's where we and the prince were stationed."
"We left a lot of supplies behind when we evacuated. I think Zhu Meng will probably choose to camp there."
Liu Rumei nodded and looked at Liu Che and Liu Tie.
Liu Ce and Liu Tie patted their backpacks at the same time.
There were landmines modified by Chen Xiaobei.
Xiaobei took a landmine and held it in his hand, showing it to everyone.
He has transformed the landmine into a large grenade. He can just pull the string and throw it out.
"Everyone, we just need to throw this thing into Zhu Meng's supplies, withdraw immediately, and then watch the show."
The little girl looked very excited, holding this thing and looking at it again and again, "Brother Xiaobei, can this really catch fire if you throw it in?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Of course it's no problem. By the way, you must throw it farther away, and then you must lie down on the ground quickly to avoid being accidentally injured by him."
After speaking, he looked up at the top of the canyon.
"After throwing it away, we will gather here and quickly get down the rope and leave. I think Zhu Meng will catch up here soon. Zhu Meng will also think of him if we can think of it, but we just ignore it for the time being."
After everything was arranged, Liu Rumei looked at her maid Xiao Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, please stay and protect Brother Xiaobei. Remember not to leave even one step."
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "No, I want to go with you."
Liu Rumei's attitude was very firm, "No, you don't know how to retreat slowly in martial arts, it will hold us back."
Of course Chen Xiaobei knew that Liu Rumei said this deliberately. In fact, he was worried that he would be in danger, so he was not even allowed to climb up the canyon. He asked Xiaoqing to wait here with him, taking ten thousand steps back, just in case. If they failed, he could leave smoothly under Xiao Qing's protection.
But Liu Rumei, after saying this, he really couldn't fight for it anymore because he didn't know martial arts. This was a fact.
"Okay, then I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."
Seeing the sky getting dark. Guessing that it would be past the second watch, Liu Rumei led everyone to prepare for action. Before leaving, she specifically called Chen Xiaobei aside and said solemnly, "Brother Xiaobei, if we don't come back after an hour, Just take Xiaoqing and retreat."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei firmly disagreed and shook his head repeatedly, "No, we have to go together."
