Chapter 385 Get out!
Chapter 385 Get out!
Zhang Wenxi felt awkward when his words were interrupted. He could tell from the expressions of the others that they didn't want to hear him say so much either!
Well, it’s not just one person who says this about himself. Even his teacher says that his articles are too long-winded!
Zhang Wenxi paused for a moment, organizing his words, and then continued:
“I was resting in the ruined temple when suddenly a few people came. They were all wearing black cloaks and had some strange patterns on their faces. We didn’t know what they were going to do, but we didn’t dare to offend them. But they brought a group of people holding swords and took us all away.
Then we arrived at a dilapidated house, and they gave us some strange things to eat. At first we didn’t feel anything, but we felt soreness in our limbs. Then we developed fever symptoms, and then our bodies began to itch, and eventually they festered like they are now.
We asked them to rescue us, but they seemed satisfied with us as we were, and threw us into the alley where you saw us before.
It's not just us, it's the same for others. I don't know how many people they have captured. Moreover, I once heard them say something in a semi-comatose state. If this is the case, all the troops of Prince Chen will die in this city!"
Everyone looked at each other, confirming that they were doing this just to deal with them.
Still, something was wrong.
"How did they know our route in advance?"
Even though they got the news when they split into two groups, there was one thing that was very suspicious.
"I'm afraid there's a ghost around you!"
After hearing what An San said, and thinking about the letters that might not have been delivered before, the leader still had some questions in his mind.
I saw that his face was very ugly, and then he said to An San:
"You go back quickly. I will handle this. I must explain everything to the princess. As for those assassins from the Underworld Pavilion and the people from the Poison Doctor Sect, I will also transfer people over."
An San nodded, looked at An Si and the others, and after making sure that nothing would happen here, An San hurriedly left the yard.
Here, Yu Tingwan and his army had already arrived twenty miles outside the city of Hanzhong County.
"Princess, they are already on full alert!"
"How can we not be on full alert? We must have received the news a long time ago."
Yu Tingwan turned to look at Song Shixu who was looking at the city through a telescope with her, and said:
"I asked the Swift Wind Army to investigate the city, but there is still no news. It seems that something went wrong in the city."
Hearing this, Song Shixu's expression also became solemn. What people who fight in wars hate the most are those messy conspiracies and intrigues. Most soldiers don't have the brains to think about the deeper meaning behind them, so they just focus on fighting!
"Then Princess, shall we set up camp here?"
Hearing this, he shook his head slightly, "Closer, let's set up camp at the city gate!"
Looking at the sun that was about to set in the distance, Yu Tingwan urged, "Let everyone hurry up!"
"Yes!"
By the time they arrived not far from the city gate, the sun had already set. Because of their arrival, the walls of Hanzhong County were instantly on high alert, and bonfires were lit everywhere.
"Princess, someone is coming over and says he's an informant who's going to give you a message."
Inside the main tent, Yu Tingwan, who was discussing the siege plan with Song Shixu and others, looked at Song Shixu and then looked at everyone else.
"Everyone, take a rest first and have someone do a good job of patrolling."
"Yes, Princess!"
The captains stood up and left. Song Shixu looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "Something is not right."
Yu Tingwan nodded, "Yeah, I think so too."
Then, Yu Tingwan shouted outside: "Let him in!"
After a while, a man walked into the tent, glanced at Song Shixu who was sitting next to him, then looked in the direction of Yu Tingwan and bowed.
"Your subordinate Sun Luo, I pay my respects to the princess and the prince!"
Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows slightly and waved his hand for him to stand up.
"Get up, I wonder if you are..."
Sun Luo stood up and looked at Yu Tingwan, took out the envelope from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"I am from the Dark Tower, and I am here to deliver a letter to you."
He knew nothing else.
Looking at the envelope in his hand, Yu Tingwan looked in the direction of Song Shixu again.
Song Shixu nodded slightly and walked forward.
"Someone from the Dark Tower?"
"Yes!"
Song Shixu took the letter from his hand, but did not rush to open it. Instead, he asked, "Dark Tower Sequence?"
"Fifteen from Duobao Pavilion!"
Fifteen? That's right. When they set up secret buildings in various places, the number of people in each secret building branch was different, and this branch really only had fifteen people.
But he always felt something was wrong because the timing was not right. He heard from the princess that the prince had sent news that something was wrong in Hanzhong County.
But with such a pace, why did the letter from the prince arrive, but the one from Hanzhong County had to wait until they were outside the city before arriving?
This is the biggest doubt.
"When did the news come?"
Sun Luo replied in a low voice: "The news spread yesterday."
Hearing this, Song Shixu's eyes became even sharper.
"What was the news yesterday? Then why did you come here only after we were outside the city?"
"because……"
Sun Luo suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Tingwan, then threw himself over and said:
"Because I want her dead!"
"Princess, be careful!"
"Go away!"
The dagger that was pulled out in an instant fell on the place where Yu Tingwan was originally sitting, and Yu Tingwan had already stood up and stepped back.
Song Shixu drew the soft sword from his waist and stabbed Sun Luo with it, while Yu Tingwan kicked him out.
The person outside the door who shouted "Princess, be careful" has also quickly come into the tent, followed by a group of soldiers who heard the noise and are all looking at the situation in the tent nervously.
"Princess, are you okay?"
"Is the princess injured?"
"princess……"
"I'm fine!"
Yu Tingwan looked at the person lying on the ground, asked someone to lift him up, and then looked at the person who ran in.
"An San, is there any news in the city?"
An San looked down at Sun Luo, who was being held up and unconscious. His pupils suddenly contracted when he saw a spot on his neck that was accidentally exposed through his collar.
"and many more!"
An Sansan took two or three steps forward and pulled Sun Luo's collar open. This action instantly ignited everyone in the tent.
Everyone rushed to Yu Tingwan to block him, shouting:
"What are you doing in front of the princess?!"
Although several captains knew that this man was a favorite of the princess, there were some things they could not do!
It would be disastrous if the prince knew about this!
When An San saw what was going on inside Sun Luo's collar, he didn't bother to talk to them and just shouted at Yu Tingwan:
"Princess, please get out. We can't stay here any longer. This person is poisonous and can be contagious!"
After these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar again!
