Chapter 276
When the messenger heard the words, his eyes widened immediately.

"The general is serious?"

King Che Tuo was seriously injured. If the news spreads, many people may have unreasonable thoughts.

After all, unlike King Shiyu, King Chetuo is a real veteran on the battlefield.

Such a king who can fight well is an irreplaceable spiritual pillar in the hearts of Chetuo soldiers.

If he died in the army, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Chetuo people.

No wonder the messenger has to double check.

If this is true, then perhaps their battle was not as simple as forcing the Chetuo people to retreat.

"What do you mean, do you suspect that my general can't cooperate with the enemy?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant immediately walked out of the ranks yelling loudly, raised the precious knife and put it on the messenger's neck, intending to sacrifice his blood to the flag if there was any disagreement.

"Zhang Rudong, get out of here."

Seeing that the messenger was trembling with fright, Zheng Xin had watched enough of the show, and then calmly made a sound to help the other party out of the siege.

"Hmph, if it weren't for my general being so talkative, if you still want to get out of the commander's mansion alive, first ask the brothers if Da Dao agrees.",

Zhang Rudong spat and looked at Zhong Zhun contemptuously.

People like them who have been among the dead will naturally look down on these young soldiers from the capital.

After throwing down a threatening sentence, he rolled out of the front door in despair.

That's right, really get out!
Zhong Zhun was also considered to be from a well-known family, and he suffered from physical exertion on weekdays, but just by being stared at lightly by this person, he felt trembling all over, and his back was soaked in cold sweat unconsciously.

But it was such a rebellious and rebellious bandit soldier who was docile like a sheep in front of Zheng Xin, which also made Zhong Zhun even more respectful of the scholarly general in front of him.

It is not impossible that King Chetuo was injured by such a person.

It's just a double spring that the two of them acted on the spur of the moment, but it dispelled most of Zhong Zhun's doubts.

"So that the general will know that this matter is of great importance. If there is something wrong with King Chetuo's body, you and I have made a good plan, and maybe we can ask those Chetuo dogs to explain everything here."

With such a large piece of cake in front of him, Zhong Zhun had long forgotten that his mission on this trip was to spy on Shanggu City.

Now, all he wants to do is make great achievements.

"Do you really think there is no one in Chetuo? In the past few days, although the Chetuo people have not called for formation under the city wall, but I see that their army formation looks like it is, and there is no benefit at all for attacking rashly."

"I advise you to go back and tell your Marshal Yang, let him rest easy!"

Zheng Xin saw that the other party had been tricked, and sneered in his heart, but what he said was exactly the opposite of what he thought in his heart.

He knows very well that the more you prevent others from doing something, the more they will want to do it.

The Zhong in front of him must be this kind of person, and Yang Benzhong, the leader of the army, is even more so. He is the most stupid person who likes to treat others as idiots.

Zheng Xin's words seemed to give Zhong Zhun a reassurance.

What he said was tempting, but it was more of a temptation to Zheng Xin.

If this is a trap, then the more Zheng Xin encourages him, the more he will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.

But now it is Zheng Xin who is trying to persuade him to be cautious, and the other party has no problem.

Zhong Zhun made a judgment confidently.

"The general's words will eventually be relayed to the commander-in-chief truthfully. As for whether the commander-in-chief will accept it, it is not up to the general to decide."

Zhong Zhun's words are also beautiful, he is just a messenger, what can he do?
But before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

"Since you've seen everything you need to see, go back and report to Yang Benzhong, I won't send it off."

Seeing that everything that needs to be said has been said, Zheng Xin lowered his head again, and buried himself in the paperwork, and at the same time, a sentence fell into Zhong Zhun's ears lightly.

"One more thing, when you go back, ask Yang Benzhong to send people to deliver food and grass into the city, otherwise, I'd like to see if Yang Benzhong has a second head for me to chop off."

Zheng Xin's tone was unusually flat, but Zhong Zhun couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

He was keenly aware that several murderous eyes were fixed on his neck.

But if there is half a word of "no", I'm afraid I will have to hate here today.

"That's natural."

Zhong Zhun wiped his sweat, as if some monster was chasing him behind, he hurried out of the mansion.

It wasn't until he left the general's mansion that he let out a sigh of relief.

This time, the one who sent him off was no longer the lieutenant with a cold face the whole time, but another confidant of Zheng Xin.

Happy is a smiling face to everyone.

Zhong Zhun saw that the other party was not very resistant, so he quickly took the opportunity to get close.

Walking through the next street corner, Zhong Zhun saw two soldiers carrying something, so he suddenly moved forward with a plan.

"What are you carrying?"

Zhong Zhun looked up curiously. After all, he was on other people's territory. Even though he was a general, it might not be easy to put him in Shanggu City.

The two seemed to be stopped by the question, they looked at each other, and then looked at the cronies standing behind Zhong Zhun.

"This is the envoy sent by Marshal Yang."

The confidant only said one thing.

Immediately, the two of them seemed to have realized something, one of them showed disgust on his face, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm in front of Zhong Zhun, and left without looking back with the stretcher.

Zhong Zhun's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver.

"Brother Zhong, forgive me. You also know that the brothers have been waiting for reinforcements for almost three days, but there is no one. Now it is inevitable that there is some resentment."

"As for what they are worried about, Brother Zhong must have already guessed in his heart."

The confidant sighed softly.

"They are all the corpses of their brothers and sisters. If the reinforcements were not delayed, why would so many people die?"

Zhong Zhun was embarrassed all of a sudden, and couldn't say another word.

"Yang Shuai, Yang Shuai, he..."

Zhong Zhun faltered and wanted to defend himself, but he just thought of Yang Benzhong's actions and couldn't say a word.

This last trial also completely dispelled Zhong Zhun's doubts.

It's just that he didn't know that Zheng Xin's personal guard beside him was also sweating a lot.

It turned out that the defenders of Shanggu City had almost died a long time ago, and now most of the city's make-up are the Chetuo people pretending to be the defenders, and the two that Zhong Zhun bumped into just now were exactly that.

Thanks to the ingenious cooperation of the three of them, the danger was saved and Zhong Zhun was completely limped.

It's just that Zhong Zhun's reaction is still this way. It seems that the reinforcements are out of date, and it really has something to do with him!
The confidant raised his head and looked at the reinforcement station with a gloomy gaze.

"Forget it, I won't send you off here anymore. I don't know when I will see you again this time. Linghuan is warm in the day and cold in the night. Brother Zhong, you have to take care of yourself!"

He patted Zhong Zhun's armor vigorously, and his aide seemed to mean something, but in the end he turned and left in silence.
