473. Chapter 473 Deep friendship
Su Qin was thinking randomly, lying in a mess, feeling confused and clueless. This was his third night of insomnia. It was just because of this spy in the army that he, the commander of the coalition, was unable to sleep or eat. It seemed that the saying that people often said: It is difficult to guard against a thief. The most terrifying enemy is the bad guy hidden inside!
On the third morning, Su Qin woke up with his eyes open. The first thing he thought of was whether Ning Jun had arrived in Xipi. He called out the guard outside the door in the tent, and then asked: "Did anyone come to see me last night?"
The guard outside the door quickly replied, "Report to the coach, no!" While answering, he thought, "Are our coach having a nerve problem? Even the birds are sleeping in the middle of the night, so where will anyone come to ask for a meeting!"
Su Qin couldn't help but feel even more depressed when he had not seen Ning Jun come. Could it be that Ning Jun really had a strange intention as Zhou Shao guessed?
"He is the spy who leaked the combat plan to the Qin people?" Su Qin suddenly felt a splitting headache when he thought of this. At the same time, he felt a depression. If this was the case, how should he face it? The scene of executing Pang Hui on the bank of the river many years ago still makes him feel heartbroken.
Especially Pang Hui's expression of fear, survival, and deep guilt at that time, all of which remained deeply in Su Qin's mind, just as it happened yesterday.
When he was executed, he was still very young and energetic, and he didn't have a deep relationship with Pang Hui, so he could do it. However, Ning Jun did betrayal after Pang Hui. How could Su Qin do it?
Since the two of them escaped from Qin together on the banks of the river, they have been together for many years and have been almost inseparable from each other and have long been inseparable from each other. Who can bear to break their siblings? He closed his eyes and traveled with Ning Jun to various countries, the situation of his mind and lingering in lingering.
Su Qin felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He really didn't want to move. If it weren't for his still in the army, he would be willing to walk around the wilderness alone, calm down and rectify his chaotic thoughts.
However, Su Qin still had a trace of hope in his heart, that is, Ning Jun was entangled by the military affairs of the Left Route Army and could not leave it for a while, so he was temporarily delayed. "Once he arranged the military affairs of the Left Route Army, he would come to the coalition headquarters to visit." Su Qin comforted himself.
Thinking about the benefits, these are all natural choices for people in helplessness. Su Qin also tried his best to comfort himself. He struggled to get up and washed up.
Su Qin was listless on this day, and he was always thinking about Ning Jun's news. If Ning Jun really had a rebellious move, Su Qin would certainly have to think of other combat strategies. However, he could not avoid the hurdle of eliminating the traitor, which was the crux of his heart.
As for what Ning Jun should do if he is really a spy, Su Qin couldn't figure it out for a moment. It would be a bloody internal struggle in the army. I felt upset and a little scary when I thought about it. He was still comforting himself: "Wait a little longer, and look again. Maybe Ning Jun is innocent, and there is someone else who sells out the information?"
Su Qin waited until evening on the third day. After dinner, he almost had no hope for Ning Jun to come. He was ready to make the worst plan tonight, thinking about whether to design to lure Ning Jun from the left army.
However, just as Su Qin pushed away the plate on the food table and was about to get up and leave the food table, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the tent, which was loud. Su Qin felt: "Listen to the footsteps, isn't it Ning Jun?"
He was ecstatic and nervous, but because he was disappointed more often, he did not dare to believe his intuition at once.
Su Qin stayed in the seat, but raised his ears and listened to the movement outside the door. Sure enough, the footsteps stopped outside the tent. As the questioning of the guards at the entrance of the tent, a thick man's voice sounded and asked, "Can the commander Su Qin be in the tent?"
When Su Qin heard this, he knew this voice very well, but it was Ning Jun who was very much like his brothers!
The guard also found in the dark that the person coming was the head general of the right army, General Ning Jun, a famous general. With his reputation, no one in the army knew about him. Moreover, he often saw General Ning Jun's middle school soldiers. The guard replied loudly with a happy tone: "Go back to General Ning! The commander was having a meal in the tent."
Su Qin also hurriedly stood up from the food table. While he went to the door of the tent to greet him, he responded: "General Ning Jun, I am in the tent, please come in quickly!"
At this time, as soon as the tent door opened, Ning Jun came in with dust and sweat was still on his head. Now it was the time when winter was not over, and the weather was still cold, especially at night, the feeling of coldness was even worse. Ning Jun looked sweaty, which showed that he was rushing to come.
As soon as Ning Jun entered the tent, he first asked Su Qin: "I heard that Ji Zi was injured by a hidden arrow and there was poison on the arrow. How are you doing? Is it important?"
Ning Jun's tone was full of concern, and Su Qin was very moved and warm after hearing this. At the same time, his suspicion of Ning Jun suddenly decreased, "How could he have such sincere concern if he is not a close friend?"
Su Qin also laughed and said, "A few days ago, he was attacked by Pang Ci's child. Fortunately, there are three magic pills from the young Chu general Qu Xin, who is much better now."
Ning Jun felt relieved and said, "That's good, that's good! I heard that Ji Zi was injured, so I rushed to Xipi without stopping. I was really worried that your arrow was seriously injured, the poisoning was too deep, and there was something wrong with your body."
Su Qin said "Huh", and he felt strange in his heart: "Why did that Li Qi deliver the letter? What did he do? Why was it so late?"
He asked, "Just General Ning Jun heard this news?"
Ning Jun found Su Qin's curious expression, and he explained: "Li Qi, the messenger who sent the message, returned to the army today. He was intercepted by a Qin general on the side of Beixiegou and shot him, pretended to be dead, and escaped. However, one leg was seriously injured and there was no war horse, so he limped back."
Su Qin stared in surprise and replied, "It turns out that there is such a thing. I wonder what the Qin general looks like and what weapons he uses?"
Ning Jun said, "Li Qi said that the general was eight feet tall, with big arms and round waists, and was very ferocious. He used an iron spear in his hand, which was very terrifying when he was playing."
Ning Jun paused and said hatefully: "On the way to Xipi, I paid special attention to see if this person is still in Beixiegou. I really want to meet him for a while!"
Su Qin nodded and replied, "I heard from General Ning that this person should be Shi Hong, the general of Qin. He was defeated in Xibei and fled to Shangguan City through Beixiegou."
Su Qin thought for a while and figured out the strangeness. He said again: "It's a coincidence that this matter is not a coincidence. Maybe it was the midnight when the messenger Li Qi sent the letter to Xipi that day, and it was dark and winter, and Shi Hong didn't notice him either. However, when Li Qi returned to Shangguan City from Xipi the next day, it was afternoon, so Shi Hong discovered it."
Su Qin also hated Shi Hong to stop Li Qi, and said to Shi Hong with ridiculous words, "The Qin general Shi Hong is also a lonely ghost. He originally wanted to surrender to Gongsun Yan of Shangguan City. Perhaps he could not find Gongsun Yan's trace when he arrived in Shangguan City, so he was wandering around!"
Su Qin said, remembering that he had not yet invited Ning Jun to take his seat, he hurriedly ordered the school soldiers outside the door and said, "The guards obey the orders, go and prepare a set of food utensils immediately, prepare more food, and deliver them to the Central Army's tent together."
At the same time, Su Qin pointed at the guest seat and signaled Ning Jun to sit down and speak. Ning Jun did not refuse. He and Su Qin were always very familiar with Su Qin, and Ning Jun called him by Su Qin's name. Su Qin was used to respecting Ning Jun as a general, and he could not change his words. However, as long as he was a real soldier, there was no one who didn't like to let others call him general, so Ning Jun was always happy that Su Qin kept calling him a general.
When Su Qin saw Ning Jun's appearance, he knew that he had not had dinner yet, so he didn't ask him and asked someone to send him food. When he saw Ning Jun rushing to the coalition headquarters, he naturally felt happy and open. He felt: "At least Ning Jun is open and honest, and his mind is still on the side of the coalition army."
After eliminating suspicion of his friends, there is no need to worry so much. How could Su Qin not be happy? He had already used dinner, but he decided to eat a few bites with Ning Jun.
While having a meal, the two talked about some military information in the troops they led. Ning Jun asked Su Qin: "I heard that Ji Zi intended to come to the left army and send Qu Xin to the right army to command. Is there any such thing?"
Su Qin looked at Ning Jun and found that he was not anxious or angry, so he nodded and replied: "Relying on General Ning's divine power, he drove away the Qin army led by Gongsun Yan, and the direction of Shangguan City has basically been stable."
Su Qin pointed at himself and said, "And the left army here urgently needs the help of General Ning Jun to open the door to victory in the Battle of Mianchi."
Ning Jun was moved after hearing Su Qin's earnest words and did not object. He just questioned Qu Xin's level: "Was that young general of Chu at a young age? Is he capable of commanding a joint army in one aspect?"
Su Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Ning, although Qu Xin is younger and lacks some combat experience, he is a newborn calf with strong energy and has his own advantages. I put him in Shangguan City, and I am also preparing to use his advantages in the future to engage in a long-distance raid."
