Chapter 169 Who did it?
The person who had just been followed by Su Chengnan was now squatting in a corner with the others, drinking soup and eating buns.
When he saw Su Chengnan coming back, he quickly turned around, wiped his mouth, put down the bowl and walked out. Seeing this, the others followed him and left.
Only when we got to a place where there were not many people around did someone come over to talk to us.
"Brother Zhan, why are you walking so fast? I'm not full yet. Those buns are really good! They taste just like the ones in the shops in Beijing."
"Oh, then you must be starving. You haven't eaten good food before, right? How can this be compared with the food in the capital? When we go back, I'll take you there to broaden your horizons." Another person interrupted and mocked him.
Douzi, who had just spoken, didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. He turned around and said to the other party with a smile, "Okay, Master Hong! Then when we get back to Beijing, I'll follow you around. I have a stomach like that, so I can eat eight in one meal."
"Eight is not much? I thought you were going to say eighty, hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Only the leading man had a gloomy face, which made him out of tune with them. He looked so righteous, like the kind of person who couldn't take a joke.
"That's enough, Hongshan, come with me!"
"do what."
"Stop talking nonsense and come here!"
Hong Shan followed Zhan Xiang to the side with a reluctant look on his face. The rest of the people restrained their smiles, looked at each other, and dared not breathe.
"what happened?"
"Did you do it?" Zhan Xiang stared at him.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say." Hong Shan scratched his ear with his little finger, looking absent-minded.
Suddenly, Zhan Xiang grabbed the other person's shoulder with his calloused palm and pressed down hard without thinking. Hong Shan immediately became serious.
"Ouch, let go."
"Did you do that?!"
"It's not me! The thing is in your hands, how could I possibly do it? What could I use to do it?!"
Zhan Xiang pushed harder, and Hong Shan's body twisted even more. He was so angry that he said, "What are you crazy about?! You fought me in Li Shanqi's camp. Do you want him to court-martial us all? He's a lunatic!"
Zhan Xiang snorted coldly and released his hand. "Don't think I don't know anything! I'm warning you, don't act rashly during this critical moment."
Hong Shan rolled his shoulders and said angrily, "Zhan Xiang, if you have time to target me here, I think you might as well find a way to clean up your brother's mess. Humph, those women in the Su family are all alive and well. What do you think will happen if the Empress Dowager finds out?"
"You..." Zhan Xiang clenched his fists again and wanted to attack.
At this time, the others standing nearby rushed over to mediate, saying, "Hey, hey, my two good brothers, you are the captain and the vice-captain, please don't make things unpleasant. We are in a bad situation now. Let's work together rationally, work together rationally..."
Zhan Xiang swung his sleeves and looked at everyone seriously: "Whoever did it, you'd better come forward and admit it. If I find out, I'll kill him first!"
"Why do you do that?!" Hong Shan was dissatisfied.
"You still say it's not you?!" Zhan Xiang glared and raised his fist to his ear.
Hong Shan sneered, "How pitiful..."
Zhan Xiang: "What did you say?!"
Hong Shan curled his lips, looking Zhan Xiang up and down with a meaningful look in his eyes, and then said sinisterly: "You are the captain, but the master does not trust you. You did not take action, but someone else did it first. You want to be a good person, but you are neither a good person nor a good person."
"Humph, Zhan Xiang, you better wake up! Don't let your bellicosity cause all of us to lose our lives!"
Zhan Xiang was furious: "I'm belligerent?!"
He raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction, "Those evil bandits of the White Bear Country have been lurking here for years, and now they've even broken in. As soldiers, shouldn't we defend our country?!"
"At a time like this, shouldn't we unite against the enemy? Don't you understand what it would mean for the Beiling Army if Lu Chaofeng died right now? And what it would mean for Dayong!"
Xiaodouzi, who had just said he wasn't full, looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "Boss, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said. Wasn't Prince Lu cursed by a wizard?"
Hong Shan burst into laughter.
Zhan Xiang's face darkened. "What kind of bullshit wizard is this?! Lu Chaofeng was clearly poisoned. Who of you did this to me?!"
Everyone shook their heads and said it wasn't them.
His sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Hong Shan. "It better not be you! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you before returning to Beijing."
"You guys! What are you doing!"
"Scatter! Everyone scatter!"
"If you fight privately, you will be punished by military law!"
A deep voice sounded, and Chen Hao came out of the opposite tent with his soldiers. He glanced at a group of people here and shouted a few words.
Upon hearing the sound, several people immediately dispersed.
Xiaodouzi quickly pulled Hongshan away first, but Hongshan had a gloomy face and said nothing.
After a while, there was no one around.
Two people with Beijing accents were talking in whispers together.
"Brother, was it really you who did this?"
"If I don't take action, Zhan Xiang might even lose his life here if he fights. Can't we just complete our mission and retreat quickly?"
"Hey, how do we retreat? How can we leave in this situation?"
"Are you stupid? Can't you pretend to be dead?"
"Ah? Is this even possible?!"
"The White Bear Country's cavalry hasn't even taken out their gunpowder yet, and the Beiling Army has already lost quite a few men. If it weren't for that thing upstairs that helped hold them off for a while, they'd probably have all been killed by the swords by now. We have to leave quickly."
"Brother, this is so unkind of you. You took the opportunity to poison Lu Chaofeng during the ongoing war?! Why don't you think about the good of Beiling? They are also our people and soldiers of Dayong!"
"Don't yell at me! I'm your biological brother! I have to take you home! Zhan Xiang and Hong Shan, those two idiots, the Queen Mother has clearly distrusted them. Besides, the Su family isn't dead. If we report this back home, the Zhan family will definitely take the blame."
"What does that have to do with us?"
"I'm wondering, how did you manage to get into the Imperial Guards? If something happens to them, doesn't that mean we have a chance? We must seize this opportunity and show off in front of the Empress Dowager!"
"Well, what you said makes sense." Xiaodouzi couldn't help but nodded, "Then brother, what should we do next?"
"Lu Chaofeng has been poisoned. He definitely won't live long. I have to find a way to kill a few more members of the Su family. It would be best if I could bring their heads back. That way... the Zhan family won't be able to escape."
"good idea!"
"Douzi, you go later..." The two people's voices became smaller and smaller.
