“Capture the Lieutenant!”
A high-ranking general hurriedly led his men over, and soon, a corpse was brought over.
“Lord Marquis, this person has already committed suicide by consuming poison.”
The Marquis of Eastern desolation’s expression turned even colder. It was such a simple matter, yet so many things were involved.
Especially at this critical juncture, one could easily guess that there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter.
When he thought of the people sent by the Ministry of War being killed by the nether guard, a bold guess appeared in his heart. The kun Peng camp had probably been infiltrated by the nether guard.
“Take them down. No matter if they’re Dead or Alive, we have to pry open their mouths!”
MA polu and the middle-level general had black poisonous blood oozing out of their mouths. They had committed suicide by crushing their venomous teeth.
A person rushed over and stopped beside them to check.
“They’re all dead!”
The Marquis of Eastern desolation’s expression was cold. He turned around and looked at Xia Zheng.”They are all from the Ministry of Supervision. As the main commander, you have failed in your duty and almost caused a disaster. As punishment, you are to stay in the camp and not be allowed to leave the camp until the war is over!”
“Hu!” Xia Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart.
“Yes!”
With a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and left.
Looking at Xiao ran, the Marquis of Eastern desolation spoke again,”are you satisfied?”
Xiao ran took out the Imperial edict. The situation in the kun Peng camp was very complicated. The people from the Ministry of Supervision had poisonous fangs in their mouths. This was not a simple matter.
The water here was deeper than he had imagined.
Even if they wanted to interrogate him now, he was already dead, so there was no way to do so.
He took out the Imperial edict and said,”Marquis of East desolation, please accept the edict!”
The group of generals, led by the Marquis of Eastern desolation, saluted, cupped their fists, bowed, and lowered their heads to show their respect for the Imperial edict.
The rest of the soldiers knelt on one knee and lowered their heads.
The military salutes were different for different officials.
“Order the Marquis of East desolation to lead the Army of kun Peng to the barren County as fast as possible. He will be the Supreme Commander and he will be in charge of all the armies to keep the Zhou Army out of the barren River!”
Xiao ran closed the Imperial edict and handed it over.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Marquis of the eastern wilderness replied.
Taking the Imperial edict, he opened it and confirmed that it was real. Then, he put it away and gave an order with an excited expression.
As the orders were issued, the entire kun Peng camp moved quickly and efficiently.
Apart from the one hundred thousand dragon’s blood Warriors led by Pei Yuanqing, the rest of the Army had already gathered and the required rations had arrived.
For a moment.
The huge war machine was in full operation.
In just 15 minutes, they would be able to leave the camp of the kun Peng and head to the barren County to support the battle there.
He gave more than a dozen orders in a row.
The Marquis of East wilderness looked at Xiao ran and said,”this is not the place to talk. Follow me.”
“Alright,” he said. Xiao ran agreed.
Together with him, they entered the main tent.
He had people stand guard outside and not let anyone disturb them. There were only the two of them in the tent.
“Sit!” The Marquis of the East barren pointed at the soft couch at the side.
Sitting on the soft couch, he went straight to the point.”The situation in the kun Peng camp is very complicated. I’ve long suspected the nether guard and have been investigating in secret, but I’ve never found out who the mastermind is. However, judging from today’s situation, as the head of the Ministry of Supervision, even if Xia Zheng didn’t know about this, he had seriously neglected his duty! After this battle is over, I will report to the Imperial court and request for him to be transferred back to the capital and be hung high up in the air so that he can retire. ”
“You’ve never suspected him?” Xiao ran asked in a deep voice.
If even the Marquis of the East barren had said so, the kun Peng camp must be in a very serious situation.
“I did! But it’s not him. ” The Marquis of the East barren was certain.
“His family died in the hands of the Zhou state. He has an irreconcilable feud with the Zhou state. From then on, he signed up to join the army and has been in the Army for decades. If he is a member of the nether guard, I can only say that the great Xia is in danger!”
“What’s the situation in Barren County now?” Xiao ran asked again.
This was what he was most concerned about.
“Two hours ago, the barren County reported that the Zhou Army had crossed the barren River and started to attack the city! I’ve received news that Pei Yuanqing is to use training as an excuse to lead a hundred thousand dragon’s blood Warriors to assist. As for now, we still don’t know what the situation is over there!”
“How much longer will it take for the Army to arrive?”
“The Army has been assembled, and we’re just waiting for the Imperial court’s decree! Now that you’ve brought the Imperial edict, you’ll be able to rush to the barren County in 15 minutes to support the battle there. ” The Marquis of Eastern desolation said in a deep voice.
Xiao ran stood up from the soft couch and said with a serious expression,”I’ll go over first!”
He was just about to leave.
“Wait!” The Marquis of East desolation stopped him.
“Is there anything else?”
The Marquis of East desolation did not say anything. He patted the cosmos bag at his waist with one hand and took out a piece of paper. Facing Xiao ran’s confused gaze, he opened the paper and revealed four big words: “loyal to the country.”
Below these four words, there was a line of small words,”gifted by Xia Jing” and a date. From the date, it seemed that it had the seal of the eldest Princess 30 years ago.
“You should be able to recognize it, right?” The Marquis of the eastern wilderness asked.
Xiao ran studied the piece of calligraphy carefully and nodded seriously.”It’s the eldest princess’s calligraphy!”
It was real, including the seal.
He had been with the eldest Princess for such a long time. If it was fake, he would be able to recognize it at a glance.
“I’m his Highness’s man!”
He then took out a letter and passed it over.
Xiao ran took the letter and read it.
The content was as follows:
“Hun Wulian is trustworthy!”
Closing the letter, Xiao ran looked at him in confusion.
“His Highness knew that you were coming, so he sent someone to deliver this letter. If he sees you, he will give this letter to you and you will know when you read it.”
“What else?” Xiao ran asked.
“His Highness asked me to take care of you and ensure your safety!” The Marquis of Eastern desolation said bluntly.
“I appreciate your good intentions, but I have to go to Barren County! My brothers are there. ” Xiao ran was determined.
“I’m not trying to stop you. I just want to tell you that if you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, you can come to me.” The Marquis of the eastern wilderness said.
“Alright!” Xiao ran agreed and did not reject his kindness.
