Jiang also went to Zhong Yi's side to help, but Zhong Yi was very happy. After all, he didn't have enough staff here. Two military doctors accompanied him to the front line. All of them were seriously injured and difficult to deal with. Although Jiang didn't understand medical theory, simple bandaging could still be done. He was there to help Luo Yansheng bandage the wounded soldiers with medicine, and he was very busy.
Luo Yansheng took the medicine and watched more than a dozen pots of medicine at the same time, and Jiang also looked at it hard.
Time passed quickly. About evening, Luo Yansheng took a bowl of medicine to Jiang Ye and said, "You can take it to Vice-General Guo, I can't take it now."
Jiang also didn't think about it. Now that he is a layman, it must be the most suitable for him to deliver medicine, so he took the medicine and nodded, and went to where Guo Linchong was.
The sky was dyed orange by the gradually sinking sunset, Jiang was also walking in the barracks, and everyone was busy performing their duties. In fact, the original military camp was like this. When there was not so much joy, there used to be some fun and exciting things every day, just because Wei Lin was messing around in it.
It was fine when they first separated. Jiang didn't feel that he missed Wei Lin so much, but as time went on, he remembered Wei Lin more and more frequently. Whatever you do, you will think of Wei Lin.
Just like now, the barracks was so busy, he missed the liveliness of Wei Lin when he was there; he wanted to enjoy the rare sunset scenery in the sky with Wei Lin.
Jiang also immersed himself in his own thoughts as he walked, and unknowingly walked to the vicinity of Min Qiu's tent. He came back to his senses and quickened his pace again.
Just when the big tent was only a few feet away from him, Jiang also suddenly saw another person from another direction, also striding towards that place.
That person is Xue Ziqin.
Xue Ziqin went to visit Guo Linchong. There was nothing wrong with this matter, but when Jiang also went to Xue Ziqin's tent in the noon, he clearly remembered that others said that Xue Ziqin went to Guo Linchong.
I left at noon, and I have only arrived now, no matter how I think about it, it is impossible.
Could it be that he came to see Guo Linchong again before he finished speaking? Jiang also guessed so, and he couldn't help slowing down. If Xue Ziqin really had something to say to Guo Linchong again, it would be a bit out of time for him to go in and deliver medicine now.
But Jiang also seemed to have Wei Lin's voice in his heart that kept pushing him: I really want to know what they will say, I really want to know how Vice-General Guo will end, and I really want to know...
Jiang also hesitated again and again, but finally could not resist the trend of curiosity. While insulting Wei Lin for taking him down, he quietly approached Min Qiu's big tent, and carefully raised the corner of the curtain, revealing only a gap. Look inside.
…
Guo Linchong was still resting on the couch, and was woken up by the sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes again, he was a little flustered: "General..." In front of him was Xue Ziqin, and he walked up to him, expressionless.
He was a little confused and a little scared. At noon, Xue Ziqin came over to show his cards with him, saying that he would spare his life, but he had since made a clear line with him. Now to visit again, Guo Linchong knew Xue Ziqin well, so he wouldn't go back on his word, and now he wanted to take his life as punishment.
Then... Maybe the general still has some affection for him and can let him stay in the barracks
Thinking of this, Guo Linchong had some expectations, but he didn't dare to show it, so he looked at Xue Ziqin and asked cautiously, "What's the matter with the general?"
Xue Ziqin flicked the cloak behind him, sat down on the edge of the couch, and got very close to Guo Linchong, and said softly, "Are you feeling better?"
"It will be much better at the end," he answered truthfully.
But this question made Guo Linchong feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it. In front of Xue Ziqin's face was very close, Xue Ziqin looked down at him, two old wounds on his face were very striking.
"I came to ask you," Xue Ziqin said, "What evidence did you leave behind when you fought against the person who assassinated the first prince?"
Guo Linchong shook his head and wanted to sit up and answer, but Xue Ziqin put his hand on his shoulder and said, "There is no need to get up."
Guo Linchong had no choice but to answer: "There is no evidence, and it is completely impossible to see who is behind."
"Oh, is it?" Xue Ziqin said casually, his hand on Guo Linchong's shoulder slowly moved towards Guo Linchong's Adam's apple, and then he said, "Then you are really useless."
Speaking of which, Guo Linchong saw Xue Ziqin laughing strangely, but he was speechless. Because at his throat, he was pierced by a knife that Xue Ziqin had hidden somewhere in front of him.
"Will... will..." The blood spurted out of his throat, he opened his mouth to speak, but he could only make a small sound, and a large stream of blood poured out of his mouth.
Jiang was still outside the tent, and he witnessed this scene from the gap.
Because he was too surprised, Jiang Ye's hands began to tremble, and the bowl of medicine slipped from his hands and hit the ground, breaking the medicine bowl on the ground.
This sound woke Jiang Ye from shock, he quickly put down the curtain and walked around to an inconspicuous corner behind the tent.
Also noticing the sound was Xue Ziqin in the tent.
He turned around and saw that there was no one at the door, but he was not too worried. He held the knife stuck in Guo Linchong's throat, and went further down.
It would be incredible if Guo Linchong was still alive. Realizing that Guo Linchong was already dead, Xue Ziqin let go of his hand, and swaggered away, ignoring the blood on his hands.
Jiang also hid behind. Seeing Xue Ziqin leaving, he didn't want to look for him, so he hurriedly got into the tent while no one was around.
"Lieutenant General Guo!!!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
Guo Linchong was lying on the couch in front of him, only breathing out, but not breathing in.
Although he witnessed it with his own eyes, he is now
I still can't believe that this is what Xue Ziqin did. If Xue Ziqin wanted to kill Guo Linchong, he could be publicly executed for the crime of rebellion. In this way, killing people in private... For Guo Linchong, it was cruel to be killed by the generals he had been following.
Jiang also immediately went to see if there was any help. Even if it was Xue Ziqin's intention, he couldn't let a person with whom he had many interactions with him die like this.
It's a pity that the blood kept pouring out like a small stream. Jiang didn't dare to draw a knife or move him rashly, so he could only shout softly: "Lieutenant General Guo, Lieutenant General Guo!"
Guo Linchong had already closed his eyes, and only had his last breath left. Hearing this voice, he opened his heavy eyelids with all his might, and opened his mouth to say something.
Unfortunately, when he opened his mouth, no sound came out, only the blood kept pouring out.
"No... he doesn't..."
"What did you say?" Jiang also leaned in to hear what he had to say.
Unfortunately, he didn't hear a sound for a long time. When he raised his head and stretched out his trembling hand to explore under Guo Linchong's nose, Guo Linchong had lost his breath. It was only then that he realized that Guo Linchong seemed to have said two words "he doesn't" just now, but with just these two words, Jiang couldn't guess what Guo Linchong was going to say.
Xue Ziqin, in Jiang Ye's heart, has always been a very respectable person. He was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, ate and lived with the soldiers in the barracks, and he was extremely powerful. He even took Jiang Ye once and taught Jiang Ye the skills that he now masters.
Even at least, Xue Ziqin taught Jiang Ye.
But even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand how Xue Ziqin would do this. He clearly could handle it fairly, even if he killed Guo Linchong, it would be excusable, but now Jiang also felt a chill surge from the bottom of his heart because of the abuse of lynching.
Jiang didn't dare to stay here any longer—he couldn't figure out what Xue Ziqin's intention was, but he just felt that if he stayed here and was discovered, it would be like he killed Guo Linchong.
With this thought in mind, Jiang also ran back to his tent.
Without Wei Lin, Jia Da and Zhao Zhinan were not in the tent. In the tent, he was the only comrade-in-arms with whom he had been with him for more than two months and was still unfamiliar. Jiang also didn't want to stay inside. He was so shocked that he had nowhere to say now. He simply picked up the wooden ladle, ran straight to the edge of the water tank he usually used, and poured the water into his mouth, trying to make himself Calm down and stop panting until he's all wet.
That night someone discovered Guo Linchong's death, Xue Ziqin went to see it in person, Jia Da happened to be nearby, and he talked to Jiang when he came back.
"Deputy General Guo died, you know... That tragic situation, the general was very uncomfortable, his eyes were red, I think if there were not so many people in the field, the general might cry."
Jiang didn't answer either, and Zhao Zhinan asked, "What's the situation?"
"I don't know. There are so many people in the barracks, and the patrol team patrols day and night. Someone could sneak in and kill Vice General Guo. Hey, I feel very uncomfortable." Jia Da said and sighed. Also shook his head.
"I think it was the Xisu dog thief who came in to assassinate!" Zhao Zhinan said.
Jia Da hurriedly agreed: "It's possible! They can't do anything! I'm just unlucky, I didn't get to the front line this time, and kill all these bastards!"
Jiang also held back for a long time. After listening to what they said, he finally couldn't hold back, and suddenly got up and rushed out.
Xue Ziqin stood at Guo Linchong's corpse for a long time and did not let anyone in.
When Min Qiu was away, Zhou Xiao stayed outside worriedly, and it was inconvenient to disturb him.
No one knew what the general was doing inside. Anyway, when he came out, Xue Ziqin's eyes were red, as if he was about to drip blood. He just said something coldly and asked Zhong Yi to come over for an autopsy.
Zhong Yi was originally very busy, but was brought over by Zhou Xiaolian. After some inspection, he went to Xue Ziqin to report.
Xue Ziqin has always been relatively polite towards Zhong Yi. After all, Zhong Yi has followed Xue Changfeng for many years, and he can be regarded as half of his elders.
This time it was different, Zhong Yi entered the general's tent, Xue Ziqin didn't say a word, just looked at him.
Zhong Yi didn't know that Xue Ziqin was uncomfortable, and he was not feeling well, so he said with some regret: "The person died in the evening, and the cause of death was the knife in the throat."
Xue Ziqin still did not speak.
Zhong Yi took out the murder weapon wrapped in a sweat towel from his pocket and placed it in front of Xue Ziqin: "This is the knife, but the knife is very ordinary, so I can't find anything."
Only then did Xue Ziqin look up, the knife was covered in blood, only the position on the handle where the knife was held, some clean places, presumably the thief had covered his hand when he held the knife, so no blood was splashed.
Guo Linchong was seriously injured, and anyone could easily defeat him. It was almost impossible to find out who was the victim.
Zhong Yi continued: "But the traces on the handle of the knife..." "General!" Before Zhong Yi finished speaking, someone opened the curtain and rushed in and shouted, "Why did the general have such a poisonous hand?!"
The person who came was Jiang Ye, and when he shouted these words, he blushed and looked at Xue Ziqin gasping for breath.
Xue Ziqin looked up at him, his eyes narrowed slightly and said, "What did you say?"
Jiang said it again, neither humble nor arrogant: "I said why the general made such a murderous attack! Deputy General Guo is a traitor, why should he abuse the lynching? You personally killed your comrade-in-arms for many years, won't you feel uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Xue Ziqin stood up abruptly from the front of the case, walked to Jiang Ye in three steps, grabbed the front of his shirt, and lifted a lot of people: "Do you say it again?"
Jiang also saw him like this, and felt that Xue Ziqin was so angry because he exposed the truth.
He said word by word: "Who is the general still pretending to show the killer?"
