[69 Book Bar - www.] Lian Baice is a sharp archer with very sharp eyes and nose. I didn’t smell the smell of saltpeter he mentioned, but since he said that, he couldn’t be wrong. I ate it.
Startled, he said: "It smells like saltpeter? Could it be that..."
Before I finished speaking, Cao Wendao rushed to ask: "Does the Republican Army also have gunpowder?"
Gunpowder was originally an elixir from the Shangqing Danding Sect, and they would know the formula sooner or later. When I heard that Master Zhenqingzi and Xuxinzi were invited by He Congjing to study it, I was afraid that they were making gunpowder. I pondered.
After a while, he said: "If there is gunpowder, their combat power will be greatly improved, but why do they have to go to the extra step and come to ask for help?"
This is indeed a question. Although the Republican Army is now an ally of the Imperial Army, the two sides are still intrigues and will never be open and honest. I can't figure out what they want to do no matter how hard I think about it. Yang Yilian Baice is also clueless. How many guesses can I make?
He thought it was impossible. Cao Wendao became a little annoyed and said, "Hey, if we secretly capture that yellow-haired boy and torture him, it will become clear to us."
Yang Yi and Lian Baice both laughed. This is the most direct way, but it is absolutely impossible. Yang Yi said: "How can it be done? In this way, the alliance between the Empire and the Republican Army will be completely broken."
If I could practice mind reading... I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. Fortunately, Zheng Zhaoshang is in the imperial capital. If he were here, he would know all our thoughts clearly, and nothing would be done. I frowned
He frowned and said: "Don't worry about these things for now, just take it one step at a time. Let's go and rest first, and we will see what Henry Ding does tomorrow. Everyone must be careful and don't talk too much."
After they dispersed, I was ready to take off my clothes and rest. But when I talked to them, my sleepiness was gone, and all I could think about was this matter. What on earth was Henry Ding planning? If I had the ability to read minds, naturally
It can be clearly understood if I use the mind-telling technique... But my mind-telling technique has only succeeded twice occasionally, so I have no confidence at all. Now, the only way is to eavesdrop.
When I thought of eavesdropping, I sat up suddenly. I am already familiar with this kind of thing. It was only because I overheard the conversation between He Congjing and Hai Lao in Wuyang City that I knew that they intended to join forces with the empire. Maybe now, too.
Should I eavesdrop on Henry Ding?
When I had this idea, I immediately sat up. If I wanted to eavesdrop, I couldn't wear a shirt anymore, so I had to wear some tight dark clothes. I just took off my shirt, but then I thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. This is a military camp now.
Not in Wuyang City, where there are sentries everywhere, it would be extremely difficult and impossible to sneak into Henry Ding's camp.
I was already a little eager to try it, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but lie down disappointed. It was impossible to eavesdrop. If Wenhou was here, he would definitely have a way. Although he has become more and more alienated from Wenhou,
But I still admire him so much. No matter what, he taught me too much. What would Wen Hou do if he was here?
Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden noise in the distance. I was startled, put on my shirt very quickly, and rushed out. As soon as I went out, I saw Feng Qi coming over. When he saw me, he gave me a military salute.
He said: "General Chu, a convoy is coming outside."
"Convoy?" I was stunned, "Who are they?"
"They refused to say anything and were stopped in front of General Lian's station."
I said, "Come with me and have a look."
Shi Jian Zhan is now my personal soldier. Every night, five of them are on duty at the left and right sides of my camp. I led the five of them towards the place where the noise came from. That was Lian Baice’s camp. Lian Baice was having a fight with a man.
The man was saying something, so I stepped forward and said, "General Lian, who is this?"
As soon as I spoke, Lian Baice turned around and said, "General Chu, they are going to pass our military camp."
As soon as he said this, the person he was talking to suddenly shouted: "General Chu Xiuhong! You are the imperial army!"
I said: "Of course we are the Imperial Army, we just arrived today. Who are you?"
I raised my head and looked at the man, but the man hesitated, lowered his head and said nothing. There were more than a dozen large cars in this column, and there were always hundreds of people in front and behind. It was very grand, and he was probably a high-ranking official in the Republican Army.
, this person must have seen me before, but it was too dark and I couldn’t see the person’s face clearly. I was about to step forward to take a closer look, but Henry Ding’s voice came from behind: “Ah, Mr. Wang Zhen, you have just arrived.
What?"
I raised my head and saw Ding Henry coming hurriedly on horseback with Wei Rentu and Fang Ruoshui. When he arrived in front of me, Ding Henry jumped off his horse and said, "General Chu, have you forgotten? This person is Mr. Wang Zhen, the chief secretary of the Military Affairs Department.
ah."
From the city lord down, Wuyang City has six departments: the Customs Department, the Military Affairs Department, the Distant Personnel Department, the Inspection Department, the Craftsmanship Department and the Official Affairs Department, which are equivalent to the four ministries of the empire. The chief secretary of the six departments is equivalent to the Minister. Wang Zhen
He is the chief secretary of the Military Affairs Department, which is equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of War. At that time,
When I arrived at Wuyang City, I met him once. I saw the door of a car behind opened and an official came out. It was Wang Zhen. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master Wang, young general Chu
Xiu Hong is polite. I have offended you so much, Mr. Wang will forgive you."
Wang Zhen also saluted me and said: "General Chu, there is no need to be too polite. General Chu is worthy of being a good general in this world. His military orders are as high as mountains, and his subordinates admire him very much."
He spoke very modestly, which made me a little embarrassed, so I bowed again and said, "Please, Mr. Wang, the young general will come again tomorrow to see you."
I asked Lian Baice's army to move out of the way, and Henry Ding led the convoy forward. Maybe Wang Zhen came too late, and they were leaving in a hurry. When they left the army camp, Lian Baice's troops moved forward.
The voice said: "General Chu, the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Republican Army has also arrived. This matter is a bit strange."
I was thinking about something when I heard Lian Baice say this and said, "What's wrong?"
"If the Chief of Military Affairs is a loyal person, he should come with the troops. If he is just showing up, it seems that there is no point in coming here now."
Indeed, Henry Ding has been stationed here for two days. If Wang Zhen was to come to the front enemy from the beginning, he would normally have set off together. However, he was only two days late and half a day later than the ground army. Could it be that this
Is Wang Zhong derelict in his duties? He Congjing is a very talented person.
His subordinates can also make full use of their talents. The Republican Army now has the upper hand in the war against the snake people. As the prime minister of military affairs of the Republican Army, Wang Zhen is by no means an incompetent person. So, what delayed him? What happened?
It was so important that he arrived at the front line three days late?
Just as I was thinking about it, Lian Baice suddenly said, "General Chu, what is the name of the person who negotiated with me just now?"
I said, "I didn't see clearly either. He didn't tell you?"
