When he woke up the next day, Zhao Hongrun noticed that in addition to Wei Jiao sitting at the table in the center of the room, Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, Chu Heng, Mu Qing and other four sect guards were sitting in a few corners of the room with solemn expressions for some reason. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Except for Chu Heng, who hugged his hands around him, the rest of the people all put their swords on their knees, and held the hilt of the sword with their right hands, as if they were trying to draw their swords at any time.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" Sensing Zhao Hongrun's movement when he was lying up, Wei Jiao opened his eyes and asked with concern if he had rested well last night.

The other four guards in the house also stood up and walked to this side.

"What's going on?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a slight frown.

Because although Zongwei is responsible for his safety, generally speaking, only one Zongwei will be on duty at night, and it is rare for five Zongwei to be on duty in this room at night like today.

Unless, it's something that happens.

Hearing Zhao Hongrun's inquiry, Wei Jiao did not hide it, and told the truth: "Your Highness, a group of thieves appeared in the city yesterday and killed many soldiers and generals who patrolled the night patrol......"

"What?" Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed even more when he heard this, and he said with some annoyance: "What are the patrols outside the city doing? What about the guards on the walls? How can thieves be allowed to sneak into the city so easily? ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness was angry, Wei Jiao reminded vaguely: "Your Highness, this group of thieves is not from outside the city, but originally in the city......

"You're saying there's a man-made rebellion?" A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes.

However, Wei Jiao shook his head and said firmly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the soldiers and generals under your command all abide by their duties, and no one has turned their backs on Your Highness." ”

"What kind of ...... is that" As soon as he said this, Zhao Hongrun's words stopped abruptly, and he asked thoughtfully: "What do you mean...... The thieves are from among those refugees? ”

Wei Jiao nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the report sent by General Ganben, the thieves who were killed on the spot yesterday were all dressed in civilian clothes, Your Highness, the civilians in the city of Haoxian have already moved to Xiangcheng, except for the group of refugees who were sheltered yesterday, who else?" ”

Zhao Hongrun turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, took the robe handed by Lu Mu and draped it on his body, and asked, "Those people ...... What is the intent? ”

"I don't know about this, I only heard that the gang of thieves attacked the county mansion in the city......"

"The county mansion?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Jiao in confusion, and asked again: "The mansion of Gongwan Xi in the former county of this county? ”

"Exactly." Wei Jiao replied.

Zhao Hongrun put on his clothes silently, because he had just woken up, his head was still a little dizzy, so he couldn't understand why those thieves attacked a vacant county mansion.

Yes, the county mansion in the city of Phong County has long been vacant, to be precise, it has been sealed, because it is the spoils that Yan Ling's army deserved after conquering Bongxian County - the wealth of the rich nobles led by the county prince Wan Xi in the city of Bong.

It can't be that the thieves are going for the mountain of treasure, right?

Just those people, how many can they take with them?

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled.

However, after he washed his face with cold water and cleared his head, he finally figured it out.

He finally realized that most of these thieves were coming for him.

It seems that these people didn't know that I was living at the outpost and were looking in the wrong direction......

Wiping his face with a towel, Zhao Hongrun secretly guessed the mastermind of this matter.

The first thing he thought of was Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

After all, with the successive contacts, they gradually know each other, just like Zhao Hongrun has murderous intentions towards Xiong Tuo many times, who can guarantee that Xiong Tuo will be the same?

But after thinking about it carefully, he excluded Xiong Tuo.

First of all, although Xiong Tuo is ruthless, he can do things above board, like this kind of indiscriminate assassination strategy, Xiong Tuo is mostly disdainful.

Secondly, Xiong Tuo's relationship with him Zhao Hongrun was not bad enough to send assassins to assassinate him.

As for the end, even if it is for the sake of Mi Jiang's face, Xiong Tuo will not harm him, even if he is captured, the worst result is just house arrest.

…… Could it be Guling Jun Xiongwu?

Wiping his hands again, Zhao Hongrun casually hung the towel on the edge of the wooden basin.

He didn't know much about this Xiong Wu, and if he thought about it carefully, Xiong Wu's 80,000 troops were almost wiped out by him, and his fiefdom was also looted by the cavalry under his command.

However, this time, Zhao Hongrun guessed wrong, after all, although Xiong Wu did hate him to the core, Xiong Wu still couldn't do such a thing as sending assassins to assassinate him.

After all, although Xiong Wu is arrogant and conceited, his personality can be regarded as upright, and besides, this person has no way to recruit some assassins who are good at hiding assassins.

Of course, for Zhao Hongrun, the mastermind of this matter is no different whether it is Guling Jun Xiong Wu, Juyang Jun Xiong Li, or even Huancheng Jun Xiong Tuo.

Hum! The two countries clashed, and actually sent assassins to assassinate the enemy commander...... It's really a "rule" approach.

With a light snort, Zhao Hongrun secretly sneered in his heart: There is no such good hand in bullying this king? Hey! When the large team of summer crows arrives in Haoxian County, let's play again!

Secretly sneering, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and asked Wei Jiao: "Wei Jiao, how were the casualties last night?" ”

Wei Jiao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Uncle Sun hasn't counted the statistics yet. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, because he had handed over the night patrol of Gongxian County to Sun Shuke yesterday, and it stands to reason that there was such an accident last night, Sun Shuke should count the losses as soon as possible and come to report to him.

So...... What about people?

Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, because he suddenly thought of a bad guess.

He immediately asked, "Uncle Sun...... What about people? ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard Zhou Pu reply: "It is said that General Sun Shu took his soldiers to Nancheng to question those refugees. ”

Broken!

Zhao Hongrun secretly screamed that it was not good.

Because in his opinion, the generals under his command who are good at leading troops to fight often have a straight habit of doing things and rarely beat around the bush.

Take Sun Shuke as an example, the general was suspicious of those refugees yesterday, and now that something has really happened in the city, it is difficult to guarantee that the general will not take his soldiers to ask those refugees, and even make some torture actions.

And such impulsive behavior often leads to bad situations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun immediately ordered: "Chuan Sun Shuke will come to see this king immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Zongwei Lu Mu clenched his fists and left.

At the same time, as Zhao Hongrun talked about, Sun Shuke took the two deputy generals Gan Ben and She Li, and led hundreds of soldiers to the southern city where those refugees lived yesterday.

When he arrived in Nancheng, Sun Shuke didn't talk nonsense, and after those village chiefs and people chiefs gathered, he ordered the soldiers to throw more than a dozen corpses in front of them.

The dozen or so corpses were all thieves killed on the spot by the Wei soldiers who patrolled the night last night.

"Will ...... General, this ...... What are you? ”

Among the village chiefs and people's chiefs, there was an old man who seemed to be in his fifties, who looked at the corpse thrown in front of him in horror, and his face turned a little pale.

I saw Sun Shuke coldly glance at the village chiefs and people who were present, and also glanced at the many refugees watching from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "Last night, a group of thieves attacked the soldiers who were patrolling the city at night and killed many soldiers. ”

"Solution...... What to explain? The old man asked, confused.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Ganben snort coldly and shouted angrily: "Less garlic!" …… The civilians in the city of Hao County have already been moved to Xiangcheng by His Royal Highness King Su, and are ready to be brought to Dawei to live in peace in the future. At this moment, there are only you civilians who came out of nowhere......" As he spoke, he took two steps forward, grabbed the old man's shirt, and asked fiercely: "Old man, who are you waiting for?!" ”

The old man's **** Ben was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, trembling and he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, She Li frowned and said: "General, the strength of Pong County is not much, if there is an accident in the city, once Lord Xiang Mo brings troops to attack, Pong County will be difficult to protect ......."

Do you mean that these will be expelled?

Sun Shuke pondered for a moment, as long as he made a decision, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Looking back, he realized that it was Zongwei Lu Mu with a team of Su Wangwei.

"Lord Lu Mu."

Although Lu Mu's rank was only a personal guard, and Sun Shuke was a battalion general, he still took the initiative to salute Lu Mu with his fists.

However, Lu Mu's attitude was also quite eager, I saw him holding Uncle Sun's hands with fists and saluting, pressing down this etiquette, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Why is General Sun so restrained? …… You and I both serve His Highness, and we should be closer and closer in the future. ”

A polite remark made Uncle Sun's heart warm.

Suddenly, he asked curiously, "Why did Lord Lu Mu come?" ”

I saw Lu Mu glance at the corpses of more than a dozen thieves on the ground, then glanced around again, and said to Sun Shuke: "His Royal Highness King Su has summoned the general. ”

"Right now?" Uncle Sun said in his heart, "I'm tracking down those thieves last night."

However, Lu Mu seemed to have guessed Sun Shuke's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "General Sun should not be impulsive, let's go with Lu to meet His Highness first." ”

Sun Shuke immediately understood, so he frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Lord Lu Mu, many of the thieves last night were not caught, and the last general suspected that they were hiding among these refugees......

He wanted to say more, but unfortunately he was pulled away by Lu Mu with a smile.

In desperation, Sun Shuke left Gan Ben and She Li to keep an eye on those refugees, and he followed Lu Mu back to see Zhao Hongrun.

A moment later, Zhao Hongrun met Sun Shuke in his study in the outpost.

Zhao Hongrun didn't say much about Sun Shuke's actions, after all, many of the generals killed last night were Sun Shuke's old subordinates.

Moreover, Zhao Hongrun can also understand the anger of this general.

Because in this era, soldiers died on the battlefield, which is fate, and it is the fate of being a soldier.

Therefore, don't look at Yan Lingjun who killed many soldiers under Sun Shuke's command at the beginning, after the two sides merge and rectify, the soldiers who are in the original enemy will not hate each other too much, at best, they just feel uncomfortable at first, and then they will slowly get along.

However, it is a different matter for the soldiers to die outside the battlefield, under the assassinations of the assassins, under the intrigue. Note: The conspiracy here does not refer to the stratagem on the battlefield, but refers to tricks such as discord, assassination, poisoning, etc. For a long time, many generals were dismissive of such tricks.

At this time, because of Sun Shuke's relationship, the mood of those refugees also fluctuated. (To be continued.) )
