Chapter 592
One night three days later, there was a wail of mourning in the Western Shu camp and the fire spread.
Overnight, the food and grass in the Western Shu military camp were burned completely. I heard that the fires surged into the sky last night, and the soldiers fled away in all directions, screaming in terror.
What is even more unexpected is that the Western Shu general Mou Di couldn't sleep in the tent and was buried in the sea of fire. Once the general died, the dragons were headless and the military camp was in chaos.
For the Western Shu army, they never thought that they had just returned from the Southern Tang army. It was a time of relaxation without any war. The camp would be attacked at this time and the general would die at this time. Together with the deaths, thousands of soldiers, they all came back to watch Tongzhou.
Xue Ying, the deputy general of Western Shu, was furious. He was exploring wildly in the camp, but he could not find anything. He only found out that a chef accidentally left the water and burned the kitchen, which also affected the surrounding camp tents.
But almost everyone understood that this sudden fire could not have been an accident, it must have been released by the Southern Tang people. But they could not find the basis, so they searched the military camp and found that a soldier was mysteriously missing.
It was only then that Xue Ying realized that the army had already been placed in the spy from the Southern Tang Dynasty. He said, how could these wars be so depressed?
This matter is too serious and must be reported to the court no matter what. But Xue Ying did not dare to report it truthfully. Now the general is dead. If the emperor knows that the enemy spies were infiltrated into the army, but they don’t know that they should not want his head.
Therefore, Xue Ying tried his best to not only cover up the spy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also wanted a reason to avoid heavy punishment. Therefore, the news that the chef in the army accidentally left the water and caused chaos was sent to the emperor of Western Shu. The emperor was furious and ordered the military discipline to be strictly enforced and the deputy general was demoted. The chef in the army was executed with dozens of people. At the same time, the emperor ordered the army on the border to raise food and grass first, rest and rest, and not to act rashly.
Xue Ying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He and Mou Di have always had different opinions on dealing with the Southern Tang. Xue Ying was conservative and believed that the enemy would not move, so I would not move. They just guard the border and don’t make any trouble.
Mou Di tried every means to get rid of Prince Nan Tang Zun first and then seize several other cities in one fell swoop. He even regarded this as his mission to guard the border. However, now that the mission has not been completed, he has lost his life first.
The mute loss now made Xue Ying feel more and more that he might be right. The Prince Zun of Southern Tang was too terrible. Even though Mou Di had already designed to hurt him, they could still defend three cities and give such a heavy blow to the Western Shu army. It seems that Southern Tang is not so easy to deal with.
Xue Ying did not have the ambitions of Mou Di, and he only hoped that the border would be more peaceful and that he and his soldiers could survive well. In his opinion, guarding the border did not mean that the soldiers would make fearless sacrifices.
The next morning, before dawn, the situation in the Western Shu military camp reached the Southern Tang military camp. The soldiers were extremely surprised and excited.
Not everyone knows this plan. The statement they heard was the same as the emperor of Western Shu, who believed that the Western Shu knights accidentally left the water, which affected the army's food and grass and their generals.
Although some people don’t believe it and think it’s too strange at this time, there is no second possibility in Western Shu at all, and no army comes to the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask for an explanation.
It was indeed God's will, and even God could not bear it anymore. He wanted to punish Western Shu.
For a moment, the army in the Southern Tang Army Camp was excited and everyone cheered. At the same time, the emperor's personal guards who came back from Canglin came to report and found out the evidence that Canglin prefect Yao Yuandong and Western Shu general Mou Di shared letters, and had taken the person back to the capital according to the emperor's wishes.
In the hazy sky light, Gongsun Yu, wearing a black hood, stood in the tent, Ye Ningyu, Bai Chengzhi and Li Ji, stood in front of him.
"Don't worry about other things anymore, be at ease to recover from the injury. When your health is cured, go back to the palace to see your sister-in-law." Gongsun Yu said.
Bai Chengzhi smiled, "Please say hello to my sister-in-law on my behalf. I'm afraid the palace will not be able to go back for the time being, and there are still some things to do later." After that, Bai Chengzhi glanced at Ye Ningyu and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Gongsun Yu sighed slightly and said with a smile, "Forget it, I won't be able to stay here. Just go wherever you like. There is only one thing, you can't lose contact with your brother, you have to send a letter from time to time."
"Yes." Bai Chengzhi nodded slightly. "Does brother go back to the palace first or..."
"When they went back to the palace, they had taken Yao Yuandong back to Shangjing. I went back to the trial myself, but I wanted to see who gave him the courage. Over the years, the borers hidden in the court were also timed to be uprooted."
"Brother, I think it's been a lot of busy time when I go back, and I'm going to be lazy again." Bai Chengzhi looked ashamed.
Gongsun Yu gave him a blank look, "I am the king of a country, of course I will do these things. Your current task is to cure your wounds first, and then take Ayu around the Southern Tang Dynasty. After finally coming here, she can't always see these swords and swords in the military camp every day. Be careful that others are dissatisfied and regret your marriage."
Gongsun Yu said, then looked at Ye Ningyu again, "You brother and sister, don't you think so?"
The sudden change of words made Ye Ningyu feel a little uncomfortable. She was stunned for a moment and lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. "The sword light and sword shadow of Nan Tang are also a custom, and it will be a good idea to see it."
Li Ji laughed a little while aside, and Bai Chengzhi was also smiling.
"Okay." Gongsun Yu sighed, "It doesn't matter to both of you. It seems that I, the only outsider, are worrying about it. Forget it, it's hard for family matters, so I'll go back and worry about national affairs."
After saying that, Gongsun Yu strode out of the tent.
"I'll send you to Your Majesty." Li Ji hurriedly followed him out.
Not many people knew about Gongsun Yu's military camp these days. Apart from Li Ji's personal soldiers who were guarding several main tents, there were only Bai Chengzhi and a few others. Otherwise, if Western Shu knew that the Emperor of Southern Tang was here, I wonder what would happen again.
Under the escort of a group of secret guards, Gongsun Yu left the military camp in a low-key manner. Outside the camp, several fast horses were ready. Gongsun Yu turned over and galloped towards the direction of the capital while the night was dark.
Inside the tent, Bai Chengzhi and Ye Ningyu looked at each other.
"What happened these days is like a dream." Ye Ningyu couldn't help but sigh.
"Me too. Fortunately, everyone is at peace." Bai Chengzhi looked at Ye Ningyu with gentle eyebrows. "Why do you want to sleep for a while when you get up so early?"
Ye Ningyu shook her head, and she couldn't sleep at the moment. "That... we'll invite the miracle doctor over later, and you can talk to him."
Bai Chengzhi turned his head and looked at Ye Ningyu. He naturally knew that the miracle doctor she said was a pockmarked face.
The military camp was in chaos a few days ago. I guess the war with Western Shu was not enough to care about him. Now that everything has subsided, I should really meet this person well.
“Okay.”
Ye Ningyu held Bai Chengzhi's hand and said, "See him, are you... ready?"
Bai Chengzhi looked at Ye Ningyu's concern and laughed unconsciously. "I was just a little injured this time. Why do I seem to become fragile and break when I touch it."
