Seeing this, General Li poured him another glass and said, "Master Xiao, you have worked hard all the way."
"Very good." Xiao Mu said to General Li with a smile.
Immediately, General Li put the teapot in his lap and asked, "Master Xiao thinks this is a coincidence. Is it possible that a spy from Xiling sneaked in among them."
"According to him, the spy sneaking in is not a big deal. After all, we have been at the frontier for so many years. A stranger coming here will definitely arouse suspicion." Xiao Mu was analyzing General Li at that time.
After hearing this, General Li frowned slightly, "Then Mr. Xiao thinks..."
"Should I sneak into the military camp unprepared? After telling the general about the food, I escaped again." Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes as he spoke at that time.
Seeing General Li listening at this moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Did I say that the Xiling people want to take advantage of the chaos in their army to send troops!"
"Not bad!" Xiao Mu nodded at that time.
General Li nodded at that time, and then sneered and said, "Then King Xiling's abacus was not accurate!"
"What are General Li's plans to receive Dong?" Xiao Mu then asked.
General Li stood up at this time, looked outside, and then said, "Use the trick!"
"General Li is indeed very scheming!" Xiao Mu couldn't help but nodded at that time and said.
The soldiers of Mingyue went to the kitchen together to question the army rations. They were wondering if someone had sneaked into the military camp last month. If nothing unexpected happened, after three months at the latest, the King of Xiling would definitely take advantage of the situation when the army's morale was at its most unstable!
Bu Nao, I'm afraid that King Xiling's plan was in vain. Calculating how long it would take for their prince to leave the imperial city, he should arrive at the frontier in those two days.
Then General Li looked at Xiao Mu and said, "We have been on the battlefield for many years. These are not based on experience. I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for coming back in time to help him. If not for Mr. Xiao, he really doesn't know how to end it." .”
"General Li, what's there to thank you for? As a citizen of Dongling, if the frontier fortress is lost, the people of Dongling will live in dire straits in the future. Then it will be a loss to their family, the Marquis. According to the holy order, Ma Zai asked for the border fortress. If the morale of the army is shaken at this juncture, the consequences will be disastrous." Xiao Mu said to General Li at that time.
General Li nodded at that time, "Well, what's the point of Bucheng? I just want to guard the border so that the people of Dongling will not be involved in the flames of war."
"If there is nothing else, he will go back and rest first." Xiao Mu said and yawned at that time.
He was afraid of causing trouble along the way. Since the food near the frontier fortress had been bought at high prices, he could tell with just his toes whether the Dongling people were responsible for this.
If Lu Zai met the spies lurking in Xiling and saw them escorting grain and grass to the frontier fortress, they would definitely encounter obstruction, so he asked everyone to take some remote paths.
Although there is no need to worry about Xiling's spies on the remote trails, it is located on the border, and there will inevitably be some bandit leaders who will rob homes and homes. It is not that he is afraid. If they do encounter them, he can deal with them in less than half a day.
But the confinement period that General Li had mentioned was already here. They originally took the trail and wasted time. If they had not encountered some problems along the way, it would have been difficult to get back to the frontier in five days.
So they hurried back on a moonlit night, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they never closed their eyes all the way.
General Li looked at Xiao Mu and said with a smile, "Let me see if Mr. Xiao is tired from traveling all the way. Mr. Xiao went to rest, and he will have people prepare meals for us. When we wake up, He asked someone to send it to us."
"Then I'll bother General Li." Xiao Mu said and walked out of the tent.
After Xiao Mu left, General Li walked on the chair. If Xiao Mu had not appeared in time with food and grass, he really didn't know what to do.
The punishment just now can be suppressed for a while, but it can be concealed for how long.
Then General Li looked at Xiao Mu's back and couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, Shuo Hou's legs were not dry.
At that moment, General Guo walked in and looked at General Li's back as he watched Xiao Mu leave. Then he crossed his legs and said, "General, those who made trouble in front of the kitchen have been punished."
"Well, very good, let's go find out who said there is a shortage of food in the Yidong Army Camp." General Li nodded at that time, and then ordered General Guo.
Although he felt that what Xiao Mu said was reasonable, he felt that it would be better to investigate the matter during the safe period. This would also teach the frontier soldiers a lesson.
If Xiling wants to use this method again in the future, it will definitely not cause baked dough.
General Guo Shen nodded at that time, and then responded, "No, General, I will go ahead then."
After General Guo Shen left, General Li stood up and sighed, hoping that Shuo Ling would be able to deal with those weirdos in Xiling after he arrived.
Thinking like that, General Li walked outside. Now that the matter has calmed down, he asked General Cheng to go and tell him so as not to worry him.
General Lee had just walked into General Cheng's tent.
Then he saw General Cheng looking at him anxiously, and quickly asked, "How is the matter handled? Have you gone to the east?"
"Don't worry, Shuoling's leg Dong Xiaomu rushed back in time with the army rations, just in time to seal the mouths of the soldiers and stop their suspicion." General Li did not beat around the bush and said directly.
After hearing this, General Cheng relaxed his tense face, then nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."
"Now my main task is to take good care of my body. Until I get well, other things will be taken care of by him. I don't have to worry so much." General Li walked to the bed and said to General Cheng.
General Cheng sighed at that time, "Having said that, how can he relax about such a major event that disturbs the morale of the army? Has anyone found out who said this news?"
"He asked General Guo to investigate just now." General Li said at that time.
General Cheng stood up from the bed and asked. "Then I think this matter could be caused by people from Xiling?"
"I think so too?" General Li then asked General Cheng.
General Cheng frowned slightly after hearing this, "Although there are no military wives in the military camp now, the soldiers are not fed and drank every meal. If someone doesn't make innuendo, he doesn't think those soldiers will go directly to question the old man." Guan and Lao Ji, what do I think?"
"After General Guo Shen finds out, if it is really true that the Xiling people did it, he must have thought that a few months away, when his army was in chaos, the King of Xiling would take the opportunity to send troops to the border fortress and catch them by surprise." General Li looked at General Cheng and said.
General Cheng nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "If this is really the case, what do I plan to do? The Xiling Army and the others don't have to worry too much. Naturally, they are not as strong as their soldiers, but those Xiling weirdos, they need to plan well." It’s been a while.”
"If this matter is really not the fault of the Xiling people, then they will take advantage of it and set up an ambush in advance." General Li narrowed his eyes slightly at that time and then said.
Then General Cheng asked again, "When will Shuo Ling arrive?"
"Based on the distance, it should be within those two days." General Li turned his head and said to General Cheng.
General Cheng nodded at that time, "Very good, that boy Shuoling has a lot of clever ideas. Maybe he can really think of a way to deal with those weirdos."
"I hope so!" General Li said looking outside.
At this time, Shuo Ling was separated from Mo Li.
Then he ran towards Wu Gu Mountain.
After two days of travel, we finally arrived at Wu Gu City.
After he entered the city, he climbed over the wall directly into Hou Shi's courtyard.
At this time, Hou Shi was in the room studying the newly prepared Gu worms.
Nachu heard a slight movement at the door, saw his ears twitching slightly, and looked at the door and said, "Shuohou, come in."
"As expected of King Gu, his ears are so sensitive that he can actually hear anyone." Shuo Ling said as he opened the door and walked in.
At that time, Hou Shi put the jar decorated with dazzling Gu insects in his legs and put it aside, then turned his head and said to Shuoling, "Shuohou's kung fu is not bad, even Da Hongtian can escape the guard he arranged."
"King Gu is so complimentary." Shuo Ling said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hou Shi walked up to Shuo Ling at that time, and then asked, "I heard that I have returned to the imperial city a long time ago. Now Shuohou has come all the way to Wugu City to find me. Has anything happened to him?"
"To be honest, he asked King Gu if he really had something to ask for." Shuo Ling said directly without mincing words.
After hearing this, Hou Shi frowned slightly, then looked at Shuo Ling and said, "Oh, it's hard for Shuo Hou. Does he want to hear something?"
