When Xu Mu and his men arrived, they found that the attacking bandit army had completely retreated. Chang Wei, on the other hand, took off his armor and sat on a wooden stake, with a look of exhaustion on his face. The two accompanying military doctors were cleaning his wounds.
"General Chang, the King of Shu is here." Just as the scout who sent the message finished speaking, Chang Wei suddenly jumped up. After looking left and right, he raised his head and smiled innocently, and ran forward.
"Xiao Dongjia! Xiao Dongjia, you don't know that the thieves were intercepted just now, and I rode my horse and stabbed seven or eight people to death in succession." Seeing Xu Mu, Chang Wei, who was still a little tired, suddenly became happy again. .
Si Hu next to him rushed over with tears in his eyes before Xu Mu could say anything, turning over Chang Wei's robe and armor, trying to find the wound. Worse, even his pants were taken off.
"Xiao Changwei, if something happens to you, I, Sihu, will be alone in the empty room from now on, what should I do?"
"Sihu, you and I are not married, what do you mean by staying alone in an empty house!"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, pulled the crying Si Hu away, and looked at Chang Wei carefully. When I found out that nothing was wrong, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chang Wei, I heard that you were intercepted and killed in Kezhou earlier... What do you think, do you know who the person who intercepted you was?"
Chang Wei thought for a while and shook his head, "When we marched here, for some reason, the leading phalanx fell into a horse trap. I couldn't get angry for a moment, so I grabbed a gun and fought with the rebels. After killing for a long time, I don’t know why, but these bandits suddenly retreated on their own.”
"Retreat on your own?"
"Exactly. I originally wanted to risk my life, but unexpectedly, these people ran away after killing for a while. They are all eggless bitches."
"Can we capture prisoners?"
"I caught it, but I can't find out anything. By the way, I also found this." As he said that, Chang Wei took out a waist card from his arms.
Such waist badges can only be worn by those with a military rank of general or above.
Xu Mu took the waist card and discovered to his surprise that on the waist card, there was an auspicious five-clawed golden dragon, surrounded by the golden dragon, and a big "Yuan" character.
Yuan is the surname of the country.
Among the major powers today, only Cangzhou or the pseudo-emperor Yuan Song dare to use such a name.
The Demon Queen of Cangzhou seems to be the most likely suspect. But in fact, given the current situation, it should be impossible. To put it bluntly, if such a group of troops were buried, they should have been hidden and tucked away as a surprise force. Rather than being exposed like this, hastily.
"Yuan Song?" Xu Mu frowned. In Muyun State, Yan Tang is still imprisoned. He couldn't figure it out. What was the significance of intercepting Chang Wei to the two states of Laiyan?
"What? Does the little boss know who it is?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Mu said calmly, "Chang Wei, if you believe me, I will make the decision for you."
"Of course I believe it. In this world, besides my young master, the one I trust most is you, my little boss."
Xu Mu nodded and smiled.
Chang Wei always called him "little boss" instead of King Xu Shu. It also proves that the friendship that once existed has not disappeared in Chang Wei's heart.
"Let's go to Kezhou with my brother."
"Haha, okay, after entering Kezhou, I will have a night of drunkenness with Shahu."
"You are injured, so don't drink too much." Xu Mu said helplessly. Whenever Chang Wei meets Si Hu, he will be like a brother who has been separated for eighteen years, crying and getting drunk.
…
With the blessing of being a general in the inner city, Chang Wei received the attention of a large group of allies as soon as he entered the military tent. Especially the king of Jiaozhou, Zhao Di, took Chang Wei's hand and howled bitterly for a long time. At the end, he said that he secretly had a daughter who was just old enough to get married.
To Xu Mu's relief, Xiao Chang Wei was not lost. Instead, he returned the gift politely and sat aside calmly.
"Everyone knows." Zuo Shiren sat in the main seat, his face gritted.
"The thief is so brave. He actually dares to intercept and kill my brother from the Great Alliance in the middle of the road. This must be another trick of the Demon Queen! If Brother Chang Wei accidentally dies in the interception, the King of Yuzhou will be furious! Then! Our world alliance is about to be instigated successfully!"
I have to say that Zuo Shiren is indeed a good hero. The use of words at this time not only diffused the previous panic atmosphere, but also pointed the finger at Cangzhou.
Unlike others in the military tent, Xu Mu was still thinking about whether Yuan Song intercepted and killed him? If it were Yuan Song, this move would have lost some quality.
"Brother Chang Wei, don't worry, I, Zuo Shiren, will definitely make the decision for you!"
"The alliance leader is mighty!" Several leaders of small forces who followed Zuo Shiren cheered for a while.
"Everyone, today the world's great alliance is gathered together. I have prepared a banquet and drank this banquet. Once we have set an auspicious day, we will collect intelligence, write a memorial, and besiege Cangzhou!"
"Siege Cangzhou!"
Within a short time, the entire Chinese military tent was filled with shouts of fighting spirit.
…
After the banquet, Xu Mu did not enter the wing. Instead, he entered the city and entered the Huang Mansion.
There are some things he needs to ask Huang Daochong.
"Waist badge?" Huang Daochong frowned and took the waist badge handed over by Xu Mu.
"That's right, they were from Yuan Song's side. I later sent people to clean up the battlefield, searched for more than a hundred miles, and captured a captain and several wanderers. When I asked later, they were really Yuan's family. But the King of Shu also I know...it's not convenient for me to talk about things like this, for fear of getting into trouble."
"In addition, I also found out some things. At the beginning of winter, Yuan Song and Tang Wuyuan from Qingzhou met frequently for several rounds. As for the matters discussed, we still need to investigate further."
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"King Shu, please forgive me for this world alliance. I also know that the thirty states are almost divided into two factions, but I, Kezhou, do not want to choose one or the other."
"I understand, Mr. Huang, please don't blame yourself."
Huang Daochong looked excited and bowed deeply to Xu Mu again.
"Master Huang, take your leave."
The night was already dark. Walking on the path back to the camp, Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the faint moonlight above his head. In my heart, I felt an inexplicable irritation.
"Six Heroes, what do you think about this matter?"
"Helmsman, it's suspicious." Yin Hu's voice came out from the darkness.
"I feel that not only the Great Alliance and the Demon Queen, but also a third force wants to take advantage of the fire and gain some benefits from this war."
"How to say?"
"This thing... looks a bit like something done by an outsider."
Xu Mu paused. After a long time, he rubbed his forehead. The intrigues in this troubled world seem to be getting more and more dirty.
"Captain, it's late at night, don't think about it anymore, please go back and rest."
"Where's Si Hu?"
"Two people, Chang Wei and me, were holding wine jars and sitting on the bank of the river, drinking heavily and crying endlessly. Do you want me to send a few people to call him back."
"No, let him drink. There will be a war in a while, so let's relax first."
