Chapter 110 His cover-up
Logically speaking, transfers in the military camp should not be discussed with outsiders.
Wen Wan is different. Although she is a woman, she is the female Zhuge who led the border city defenders to break out several times, so Shan Shui is a little hesitant.
Wen Wan saw his hesitation, "Although I am not a member of the border city defenders, I have no ill intentions towards the border city defenders, especially since it concerns Captain Zhou's safety, and I am even less likely to do anything to harm him."< br>
"Okay." Shan Shui made up his mind, "Then I'll tell you the truth. Last time General Wanghehe Valley was in danger, you and Captain Zhou broke out and escaped, but you were separated from Master Gao and the others..."
At this point, Shan Shui's expression became heavy.
He lowered his voice and continued: "After Captain Zhou and you arrived in Fengcheng, we visited General He at the Fengcheng garrison camp and asked him to send troops to rescue Mr. Gao and the others."
Wen Wan finally understood why Shan Shui was so cautious, "The Fengcheng garrison is an army stationed on the border. Without the imperial capital's order, the army cannot be mobilized without authorization."
Shan Shui nodded, "General He took the risk to send troops because of his friendship with General Shen, and traveled thousands of miles to meet Lord Gao."
Wen Wan's expression condensed and she said, "For such a big matter in Governor Lin's Mansion, the defenders in the border city didn't make any movement at all. Is it because... General He hasn't come back yet?"
The mountains and rivers looked heavy, "Yes."
It's been so many days, but no news has come back. No wonder they just said that the military advisor and his team had turned the corner and returned to the border town, but they never mentioned the whereabouts of Ling and Agui!
No wonder He Miao came to the door!
Thinking of this, Wen Wan stood up suddenly, "What a Zhou Chai, even I was fooled!"
When He Miao came to him, it was just a serious matter, but he talked about her and deliberately misled her, making her think that he and He Miao had something to do with each other.
He was using a cover-up to make it difficult for her to follow him.
"If I'm not mistaken, General He and the others were in danger, so He Miaocai came to Captain Zhou to rescue them?"
The more Wen Wan talked, the more she felt cold, "This trip must be dangerous, that's why he lied to me to come here!"
When she said this conclusion, Shan Shui was stunned.
He stared at her, the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed, "Miss Xiaowan, you, you... you actually guessed the truth based on such a little information?"
"The truth? So, I guessed it right?" Wen Wan asked coldly.
Shanshui: "..." He seemed to have been deceived.
The female Zhuge was really powerful, and there was nothing he could handle. The general left him behind to stabilize her, and it took her less than half a day to figure it out.
Wen Wan asked sharply: "How many people are there in the camp now?"
Anyway, I couldn’t hide it anymore, Shanshui simply explained everything, "We came from the border town with only two teams of light cavalry. We will... Captain Zhou and the others set out overnight to take away a team of people. Now there are still some people left in the camp." About three hundred people.”
Wen Wan: "You know the direction they are leaving, right? Order all the troops and we will catch up and help."
Shanshui did not move, "Miss Xiaowan, we are staying here to protect you and escort Prefect Lin, so we can't go."
"General He and so many people are in danger. What use can his two or three hundred people rush over? At this time, even one more team of people is crucial to the battle."
Wen Wan was extremely anxious, "Just assign dozens of people to escort Prefect Lin, I don't need anyone to protect me!"
Hearing this, Shan Shui lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.
"Okay," he raised his head, "Since Miss Xiaowan is determined to do this, I will make arrangements immediately."
Wen Wan responded.
Shan Shui strode around her and walked back.
Wen Wan was startled, "There is a big tent behind, are you going in the wrong direction..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, and then her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
Shanshui Kankan supported her and sighed: "Fortunately, the general has already told me that if you guess the truth, he will chase you regardless, and when I can't persuade you, I will knock you out. So, little one Miss Wan, I'm sorry." Unfortunately, Wen Wan, who fainted, did not hear his apology.
*
The simple carriage drove in the middle of the team, with cavalry guards in front and behind, and a prison car swaying behind the cavalry.
The sunshine is just right, and the rolling mountains are filled with spring greenery. The scenery is picturesque at first glance.
In the carriage, Wen Wan slowly opened her eyes, and there was still a slight pain in the back of her neck, reminding her of what had happened before.
She was about to get up when she suddenly found that her hands and feet were tied with ropes, making her unable to move.
"Landscape!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs.
Soon, the carriage stopped, and Shan Shui opened the curtain and poked his head in.
He looked guilty, "Miss Xiaowan, please rest, don't worry, I can't let you take risks."
"Ha," Wen Wan was so angry that she wanted to laugh, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Two days." Shanshui replied.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "That's right. The attack was quite ruthless. No wonder I'm dizzy now and feel like I only have half a life left."
Shan Shui shrank his neck and said, "Miss Xiaowan, your dizziness may be because you haven't eaten for two days. I'll have someone wait for you to eat."
After he finished speaking, he backed away as if running away, obviously too embarrassed to continue talking to Wen Wan.
After he left, a middle-aged woman entered the carriage with dry food and a water bottle.
The middle-aged woman was a rough lady that Shan Shui specially found for her. She spoke very tightly and did not talk to Wen Wan at all. She must have been specially warned by Shan Shui.
Wen Wan had no choice but to watch helplessly as the team got closer and closer to the border town.
*
Four days later, the team finally arrived at a town near the border.
After passing through this town and heading east for three days, you can return to the border town.
When it got dark, the team stopped at the inn to rest.
Wen Wan's hands and feet were tied, making it difficult to move. After running around for days, she looked like a wilted cabbage, unable to cheer up at all.
While eating, Wen Wan sighed, "We are going back to the border town soon. Can this rope be untied? Anyway, it's been so many days and I can't catch up with them."
Shanshui saw her losing weight day by day, and was really panicking, fearing that the general would blame him when he came back and saw her reduced to a handful of bones.
"Then I'll have someone untie it for you, but you must not cause trouble?"
Wen Wan was weak, "My legs are weak even when I walk. What can happen to me? I'm not stupid. I've already suffered this. I can only go back to the border town and wait for news."
Shan Shui saw that her attitude was sincere and didn't seem to be perfunctory with him, so he let someone untie the rope.
Wen Wan moved her wrist and suddenly felt relaxed.
The accident happened in an instant.
An arrow came through the air and penetrated the paper window. The sharp arrow shot directly through the shoulder of the rough lady.
The rough lady let out a scream and fell into a pool of blood.
At the same time, the sound of fighting resounded throughout the inn, and dense crowds of men in black rushed into the inn from all directions.
