I hope to return to the country

Captain Zhao did not send Ning Yuancheng back to the General's Mansion, but took him and Le Zhiyu directly to Lingxi Military Camp.

As soon as he stepped in here, the person surnamed Zhao seemed to be a different person. There was no trace of conspiracy and calculation on his face, and he looked like a loyal, honest, and heartbroken loving elder.

He attributed Ning Yuancheng's serious injury to Qin Zhiyi's shameless conspiracy, and promoted Le Zhiyu as the benefactor who rescued Ning Yuancheng from the fire pit. In addition, he had a very close relationship with Ning Yuancheng. It is natural and reasonable to get Ning Yuancheng's token and entrustment.

It has to be said that Xiaowei Zhao is really articulate, with a few words and a deep tone, he can easily arouse the emotions of others, and he is led away by the nose before he has time to think.

Lingxi has not been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court for a long time, so naturally he would not have any respect for the prince Qin Zhiyi. Under Zhao Xiaowei's successive provocations, the crowd was excited for a while, shouting to attack the city and kill him. There are many people who have revenged Qin Zhiyi.

Sitting in the tent, Le Zhiyu heard the shouts like waves outside, his fingers clenched his cuffs tightly, wishing he could run out immediately to expose Captain Zhao's mask.

But he can't.

Because Captain Zhao had already warned him overtly and secretly that there would be many eyes staring at him when he entered Lingxi. As long as he dared to say a word that shouldn't be said outside, Ning Yuancheng might not die, but he would definitely die immediately. Died by accident.

Le Zhiyu didn't dare to gamble with his own life. Facing the urgent inquiries of Deputy General Mu and others, he could only bite the bullet and go along with the nonsense in the threatening eyes that Zhao Xiaowei cast on him with a flashing cold light.

Now all his hopes are placed on Chen Dachuan.

As long as he can successfully connect with the people at the post station, the people at Deputy General Mu's side may be able to hear the news and detect something is wrong. More importantly, Qin Zhiyi will also be able to know his whereabouts sooner. .

So before that, he had to hold back what he said, and not act rashly to arouse Captain Zhao's suspicion.

For the next three days, Ning Yuancheng remained awake.

Although the fever has subsided and his face is not as pale as it was at the beginning, he just can't open his eyes, and apart from breathing weakly, his whole body is like a piece of wood, lying on the bed stiffly, without any consciousness.

Lieutenant Zhao is naturally very satisfied with his state, and even relaxed his secret surveillance. After all, the incident is imminent, and there are too many links to plan and arrange as soon as possible, so there is no need to waste it on a dying person. Too much energy.

It's just that Xiaowei Zhao is very dissatisfied with Le Zhiyu.

After searching for the token for a few days, they still couldn’t find it. The people who were sent by Captain Zhao dug three feet to find the hidden place. When he came back to question Le Zhiyu, he opened his eyes innocently and thought about it for a long time. , just woke up and said that he remembered it wrong, but it was actually hidden in another place, and if he sent someone to look for it this time, he would definitely find it.

Of course, Xiaowei Zhao still got nothing this time.

"Young master, you are not kidding me, are you?"

His complexion was not very good-looking, and even the faint smile that hung on his lips was gone.

"If we find the token one day later, we may lose all our opportunities. If the matter is revealed, young master, you will have no good fruit, understand?"

"Of course I understand that."

Le Zhiyu Yizheng said: "The person who knows the current affairs is a hero. Whether he is proud to be the emperor and sits in the country, or he is a prisoner and suffers humiliation. But anyone with a good mind knows how to choose? How can I choose myself? How could you be foolish enough to dig your own grave to play with the captain’s future life?”

These words that sounded extremely sincere made Zhao Xiaowei look a little embarrassed, he didn't pursue it further, but let people go to a place according to Le Zhiyu's new suggestion.

But his suspicions became more and more serious, and he no longer allowed Le Zhiyu to stay by Ning Yuancheng's side, but "invited" Le Zhiyu into a private house a little far away from the camp, and sent someone to guard him. Not allowed to go out.

Fortunately, Ning Yuancheng has Deputy General Mu and others watching over him now, and Captain Zhao didn't get the token, so he probably won't be able to do anything wrong for a while. If the rescuers don't come, just let them rest when they come. You should eat and drink, get enough sleep and refresh yourself, and wait for the opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, before the opportunity came, Captain Zhao with a gloomy face came first.

Le Zhiyu, who was leaning on the grand teacher's chair and eating a pear, blinked, swallowed the pear in his mouth, sat up, and showed a somewhat apologetic smile to Captain Zhao.

"Why does the lieutenant have such an unlucky expression? Didn't he find the token yet? Oh, it's all because I was too flustered at the time. I was afraid of being discovered by General Ning, so when I buried it, I was terrified. I didn't even remember the location clearly. Don't worry, lieutenant." , let me think about it again, this time I will definitely remember..."

"Humph."

Captain Zhao sneered.

"I didn't come here to ask for a token, but to ask the young master why one of my scouts named Chen Dachuan disappeared for several days for no reason after delivering the young master's meal that day. The young master knows, Where did he go?"

Le Zhiyu paused for a while holding Xiangli's hand, his brows and eyes were obviously confused.

"The captain is embarrassing me. I am locked here every day. I don't even know whether it is cloudy or sunny outside. How can I know where the captain's men have gone?"

"is it?"

Captain Zhao sneered even worse, holding the saber at his waist, he approached Le Zhiyu step by step.

"Then tell me why the hidden stakes I planted in Lingxi were pulled out one after another? Why were the two forces I was in charge of suddenly sent out to suppress bandits? Why did the imperial court suddenly attack Yanzhou, a prefecture near Lingxi?" Waiting for the level to increase troops and deploy defense?"

"This, this I don't even know..."

Le Zhiyu stood up from the teacher's chair a long time ago, and stepped back step by step with the pear in his hands.

"Didn't you say, Captain, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. I still count on the Captain to help me restore the country. No one is more hopeful than me that the Captain will go smoothly. I think there must be something in between." What kind of misunderstanding, by the way, maybe someone with a heart intentionally came to separate things, the captain must not be fooled by them!"

"Slick tongue."

Captain Zhao stared at Le Zhiyu with his dark eyeballs, which were so red that they were about to bleed.

"Okay, I thought you were just an empty and beautiful embroidered pillow, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming. I lived half my life in vain, and I was tricked by you!"

He gritted his teeth at the end, and pulled out the long knife at his waist with a bang.

Le Zhiyu had already retreated to a wall behind him, and there was nowhere to retreat. Looking at the cold light shining from the tip of the knife, his heart suddenly rose.

"Captain!"

Another person ran in hastily outside the door, with a panicked voice.

"An accident happened. All our people were surrounded by Deputy General Mu, and they were going to be killed on the spot for disobeying military orders! Captain, you have to leave quickly!"

When Captain Zhao heard this, the muscles on his face twitched violently, his expression was full of anger and hostility, and he swung his knife at Le Zhiyu.

"It's you! It's all your fault! I'll kill you!"
