In the carriage on the other side, Xiao Yu's face remained calm, but the anxiety in his heart was exactly the same as Dongfang Lao's.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet..."
Xiao Yu murmured in his mouth, his voice was subtle, as if he was just talking to himself.
Xiao Shunzi on the side seemed to hear something faintly. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but seeing that the young prince's attention was not in the carriage at all, he closed his mouth and followed the young prince's gaze towards the carriage. Look outside.
Suddenly, there was a chorus of shouts from the other party's handsome man:
"Trapped in the camp, defend to the death! Defend to the end! Defend to the end!"
The sound was as loud as thunder, startling the birds in the nearby treetops.
But at this juncture, Dongfang Lao suddenly left the expatriate armed forces that had formed an array and walked slowly towards the opposite side.
Xiao Shunzi felt puzzled. He saw the young prince squinting his eyes with the same puzzlement. Everyone who saw this scene felt puzzled.
I saw Dongfang Lao walking to the center of the two confrontational teams. The attention of the well-dressed men was focused on him at the same time, and their spears also slightly changed their angles and pointed at him.
"Trapped in the camp... hehe... stick to it... hehe..."
Dongfang Lao suddenly laughed, his laughter was very low, as if he was laughing but also crying.
In short, his smile was ugly, which made both sides of the confrontation confused.
Suddenly, Dongfang Lao stopped smiling, but his eyes were full of disappointment and anger.
"The elites of the Southern Dynasty are trapped in the camp. They do not kill the enemy on the battlefield to serve the country, but they work as guard dogs here, oppressing the good, and helping the evildoers do evil. If the prince sees the elites of the empire that he has trained with his own hands, he does not know what to think. , Aren’t you ashamed?”
Old Dongfang's scolding obviously had an effect. He did not criticize any of the princes, but the men in the formation were all ashamed. They looked at each other at the brothers beside them, and the originally solid formation was slightly loosened. .
But they didn't know who the plain-looking middle-aged man in front of them was. He seemed to be very familiar with them, and actually told them their details at once.
"Stop sneaking around behind and get out of here. The prince's trap is used here. It's really embarrassing for me and the prince!"
This sentence made the big men in strong suits stunned, and they all speculated who the person in front of them was.
The spears that were originally pointed at the expatriates were either raised into the air or pointed at the ground. Some people had spontaneously retracted the ring-headed knives into their scabbards.
In the center of the array opposite, someone suddenly asked a question.
"You...who are you..."
"Let Qin Yi come out and speak!" Mr. Dongfang shouted loudly.
At this time, the people on the opposite side took back their weapons one after another. They looked at each other, but there was a look of confusion on their faces.
"Qin Yi! Where is Qin Yi?" Mr. Dongfang continued to ask.
The person who spoke before took two steps forward and raised his hand: "May I ask who you are?"
"Who are you? But our brother who is trapped in the camp?"
The visitors looked surprised, and the name "Zheng camp" was deeply imprinted on the hearts of the many brothers present like a branding iron, and it will last forever.
"Exactly! May I ask your Excellency?"
"I'm Mr. Dongfang!"
"You are General Dongfang!" A flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, "The first commander of our trapped camp!"
"That's right!" Dongfang Lao Gong handed over his hand.
The dozens of big men on the opposite side immediately burst out with exclamations of surprise, and the originally tense formation also relaxed at this time.
Dongfang Lao couldn't help but frown when he saw these big men acting like this.
"You are an elite member of the army who is trapped in the camp. Why are you here doing things like looking after your home and protecting your home?"
I saw the expression of the man opposite him suddenly darken: "General Dongfang doesn't know something. The trapped camp... the trapped camp is no longer there. The battle in Wancheng two years ago was all exhausted. General Qin was also killed in that battle. Mother. Yes, our brothers died unjustly. If it was our prince who commanded the siege, instead of the mediocre Xue Yuansi, how could the three thousand soldiers trapped in the camp end up like this! Now there are only less than a hundred of our brothers left, still in the nest In this damn place."
"Qin Yi was killed in battle?" Dongfang Lao looked shocked.
The man opposite was speechless and nodded vigorously.
Dongfang Lao sighed. He had heard about the Battle of Wancheng that year. Later, he heard that the battle was brutal. The corpses of Qi army soldiers filled the moat. Only the 30,000 Wei troops who defended the city were left until the end. Less than two thousand.
But he didn't expect Xue Yuansi to be greedy for power and advance rashly. In the end, he couldn't help but miss the opportunity to fight, and also ruined the only division of the Qi army that had fought a hundred battles. Qin Yi, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people, also died under the towering walls of Wancheng.
"Who are you?" Old Dongfang asked.
The other party handed over his hand: "Young general Wang Zhong, the leader of the original camp..."
"General Wang." Old Dongfang saluted back, "Since you and I are old members of the camp we trapped, there was a misunderstanding in the previous battle. Although we all suffered casualties, for the sake of Old Dongfang's face, we each gave up so that we could provide for our respective families. "
Wang Zhong frowned. He glanced at the brothers behind him, then at the mourning expatriates everywhere, and nodded silently.
"General Wang, please take your brothers and withdraw from here temporarily. We will go inside and search."
Wang Zhong immediately looked embarrassed.
"General Dongfang, why do you have to enter this house?"
"My little nephew was playful and accidentally broke into the inner courtyard. He never returned home. Seeing that his family was worried, they sent us to come and ask for him."
"There are no children inside." Wang Zhong said firmly.
Old Dongfang's face immediately turned ugly.
"General Wang, the kid did indeed run inside and never come out. If you don't believe it, I will know after I go in and search it. Please let the brothers get out of the way. We have so many casualties, so why not go in and search it once? Quickly let it go. open!"
Wang Zhong didn't move. He put a hand on Dongfang Lao's shoulder and looked solemnly.
"General Dongfang, let alone one or two children who have come in, even if a hundred children have disappeared here, and one or two hundred innocent souls have fallen outside the door, you cannot enter here. This is for the good of the general, and for those who Hello brothers who are still alive, this matter ends here. Don’t make any more plans inside. This place is not something that ordinary people can enter casually. If you are not careful, the lives of our brothers, you, the general, and you will be at risk. The brothers and even family members brought here will die without a burial place!"
Dongfang Lao's eyes widened: "Where is this place?"
Wang Zhong solemnly gave a military salute to Dongfang Lao.
"General Dongfang, this is not a place where you and I can inquire casually. The less than a hundred brothers left in the trap camp and I were ordered to guard the front yard. We don't know what is behind, and we will not let anyone go. General, please think twice before anyone enters. Do not let more innocent people die because of one person."
Old Dongfang nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, at this moment, a horse-drawn carriage turned around a street and drove slowly towards this side.
