Three days later, a captain said to his soldiers: "The masks issued a few days ago have been handed over to the army for safekeeping. When we go home, we will have to rely on these to pass through the miasma forest..."

The soldiers under him also laughed out loud, but the smiles were more or less a bit sour. They just got here when they got home, and the battle has not yet started. I don’t know how long it will take to go back... Several soldiers stepped forward one after another. , the mask was specially told by Wu Hetong to keep it well before, and everyone can say that they carry it close to their bodies...

"One, two, three...nine..." Why is there still one left? The ten captain scratched his head, looked at the people in the camp, and asked, "Is there anyone who hasn't handed in yet?" Everyone looked at each other, and then it was still a middle-aged man The man saw a thin figure in the corner: "Hey, Li Lun, where is your mask? You haven't handed it in yet, have you?"

Li Lun's body trembled, hesitantly said: "Brother Wang...I lost my mask..."

Li Lun only entered the camp this year, because his family was really poor and couldn't afford the conscription tax. On weekdays, because of his thin body, Li Lun was also one of the soldiers who got miasma when he passed through the miasma forest. They also took good care of him... A look of worry flashed across Wang Ge's face: "Are you sure? You can look for it again, this mask was ordered by General Wu to keep it safe, and if you lose it, you will be punished..."

The rest of the people were also a little worried when they heard Li Lun's words, and they all started searching... An hour passed, but they still couldn't find it. Qian Qian patted the theory on the shoulder: "General Wu has an order, all those who lost their masks are now gathered in the big tent, you go with me first... Don't be afraid, although General Wu is a heavy punishment, it is only a few months. It's just the military pay, don't be afraid..."

Li Lun nodded slightly, a look of worry flashed in his lowered eyes, and he faintly felt that going this time might not be so simple...

When the Ten Commander handed over the person and the mask to the Centurion Commander, and then to the Thousand Commander, when finally Li Lun followed Vice General Xiong to the big tent, he saw that there were already a dozen people gathered in the big tent. Li Lun took a look. The few "acquaintances" standing among the dozens of people felt more and more uneasy in their hearts, and unconsciously clenched the hands hanging beside them.

Several lieutenants took people to the middle and stood there, and then stood on both sides, watching Wu Hetong take care of it.

Wu Hetong smiled: "Lin Er, Zhao Tieniu, Zhang Wen..." Afterwards, Wu Hetong named a few more people, and Wu Hetong said: "You guys lost your masks and were fined with one month's military pay. You can go away..."

Zhao Tieniu and the two monks were puzzled, but they also made up their minds to pay more attention in the future. Although a month's military salary is nothing at present, after all, they are not allowed to leave the camp now, and they are all living in the military camp. There are few places where silver is used, but it can be regarded as a small punishment and a big warning... After all, Wu Hetong ordered the mask to be kept well from the beginning. They also know the importance of the mask. This matter is indeed their fault... Everyone After accepting the punishment, I walked out of the tent...

Out of the dozen or so people, only five people are left in the tent. Li Lun was shocked when he saw the five people in the tent. The few people he was familiar with all stayed in the camp...Wu Hetong sat on the general's seat, watching The rest of the people in the middle of the big tent showed a hint of impatience on their faces. Sure enough, the people they suspected these days were among them... Wu Hetong tapped the table lightly with his knuckles: "When did you lose your masks? Where is it?"

"If you lose it, you lose it. If you know when and where you lost it, is it still called losing it..." Among the five people, a rough man scratched his head impatiently and said... He is a veteran of this expedition, and he also went After a few battles, Wu Hetong only thinks that he became a general through connections. In his opinion, not to mention their commander in chief, even he himself is more powerful than Wu Hetong to become a general. Will not take Wu Hetong's orders seriously...

However, he also knows that this mask is the key to passing through the miasma forest. He is also a life-loving person. If it is handed over to the battlefield, he will admit it, but he is not willing to hand it over to the miasma forest. So although he doesn’t value Wu Hetong’s words, But the mask has been stored close to the body, and it was still there until Yuehuguan. I didn't expect that when it was time to hand it back today, it would disappear. At this time, the reckless man felt a little depressed...

"Hmph, I see that you seem to have been thrown into the Manyi barracks!" Wu Hetong snorted coldly, with a hint of anger showing on his normally bold face

The other four of the five trembled invisible, and Li Lun's lowered head was even more astonishing. He really didn't think that Wu Hetong would identify them as Man Yi based on a mask that might be lost at any time. The spies sent...

"General, what do you mean by that! I, Chen Dahu, have never done anything treasonous!" the rough man said angrily, and he couldn't get used to Wu Hetong even more...

"What do I mean... You are the spies sent by the Man Yiren, think that the mask is already on your general's table now..." Wu Hetong said sharply, and glanced at the five people lightly: "Take the five of them down , torture me out!"

"General!" The faces of the five people were all in disbelief, and Li Lun's palms were sweating... At first, he thought that Wu Hetong would give them a chance to defend himself, but he didn't expect that Wu Hetong would torture them with just a mask. Although I usually pretend to be in poor health, I have never heard of anyone who can withstand torture in the army

The five people shouted their innocence, and Chen Dahu cursed even more, but Wu Hetong didn't seem to hear it, and whispered a few words to the people around him, watching the five people being dragged out with cold eyes

Originally, the three lieutenants on the frontier frowned at Wu Hetong's arbitrariness. If they were found out to be spies, they would definitely win the respect of them and the soldiers under them. Qiu Shaoxi and Li Li didn't react at all. Wu Hetong is a steady person and won't do things that are not sure, let alone four of the five people who they observed all the way and thought they might be spies...

It was that Chen Dahu...Qiu Shaoxi frowned slightly, stepped forward and whispered, "That Chen Dahu..."

Wu Hetong nodded: "I know he doesn't look like a spy... But just in case, I have asked them to put him in the last torture, and let people go to investigate their camp and people he usually knows... If It’s okay if the investigation comes out, if not…” Wu Hetong’s eyes flashed a touch of complexity: “I’d rather kill by mistake than let go of a possibility…”
