Chapter 1098: Outbreak

Then I'm afraid that after this negotiation is over, not only will he not be accepted by the Tiansheng Dynasty, but the emperor of Chu over there will definitely try his best to send someone to solve him directly, or put him in prison on the grounds of treason.

If he really came to that point, it would be better to mention it as much as possible now, so that Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu could have reservations about him and be willing to give him a bargaining chip.

After thinking of this, General Zhou's eyebrows suddenly became a little serious, and his eyes made up his mind.

But it wasn't because of anything else, but in the current situation, it was clear that from the things they had just mentioned, the only bargaining chip that could keep him and have a place at the table.

There is only one thing left, let Zhuang Mingyue here know to Long Yuanxiu, about the whereabouts of General Yu Chong, whose whereabouts are unknown, and now he doesn't know where he is.

Thinking of General Zhou here, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle a little tighter, although it was he who used his plan that day to make this General Yu Chong defeated, but General Yu Chong was not a vegetarian.

was caught by him again, and on the way to Chu State, I don't know what kind of means were used to let him escape.

He didn't say this just now, but he said it halfway, just to get himself out of this matter.

This General Yu Chong really made something wrong, so that Long Yuan repaired Yu Mingyue, and the two of them pressed the fault of General Yu Chong's life and death on him, so the matter of his desire to defect to the Tiansheng Dynasty was even more unsettled.

After thinking of this a little more, the expression on General Zhou's face became more solemn.

I saw that after thinking for a moment, he put his gaze back on the two people in front of him.

"This time, I really don't know where this General Yu Chong is now, and what his life and death are. But on the way to the state of Chu when General Yu Chong was arrested, he heard that the general had escaped halfway and left. ”

The two people who thought that General Zhou in front of them was useless and had no way to give them any news all changed their expressions slightly after hearing such a sentence.

Long Yuanxiu took a few steps forward, "In other words, General Yu Chong is not in the realm of Chu now, and you don't know where he is now?" ”

It is true that he only knows Yu Chong, and now it is not in the hands of the Emperor of Chu, as for the other Zhou generals who really don't know too much.

After hearing Long Yuanxiu's inquiry, he nodded lightly, affirming his words.

The two of them saw General Zhou nodding, and they also understood in their hearts that this time they were afraid that he would have told him what he knew.

As for the others, I'm afraid I really don't know how much.

It's just that compared to General Zhou, Zhuang Mingyue's mind is indeed more stable than him.

Therefore, after hearing his words, Zhuang Mingyue did not directly mention letting him stay, or was unwilling to accept his words, but after thinking for a moment, he continued to ask.

"General Zhou naturally knows this time that General Yu Chong is planning to flee halfway, so I'm afraid he should know a little bit about the situation that day?"

General Zhou, who thought that after saying such a thing, he would not need to say much about this matter, never thought that Zhuang Mingyue would be so keen and directly point out his reserved thoughts.

At this point, General Zhou, who still wanted to keep some chips, saw Zhuang Mingyue in front of him smiling, but the meaning of the question did not allow him to doubt.

Therefore, in this case, he also knows that he can't hide too much, otherwise he will attract the suspicion of the other party, which will definitely affect the things he came to take refuge in this time, as well as the degree of availability and trust left in the other party's heart.

Even if the other party didn't really give him any too much trust this time, it was indeed in the current situation after all.

But as long as he can use the bargaining chips to let the other party keep him, and give him a certain amount of trust, so that he can travel freely and not be imprisoned, it will be enough to use it as a bargaining chip to deal with the Chu State in the future.

It was really because of this that General Zhou here couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you are really as smart as the outside world rumored, you do know a little bit this time, but you don't know too much. General Yu Chong had been away for a long time, so he didn't mention it too much just now, so as not to provide useless news to the two of you, which would affect the negotiation between us. ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who guessed that he was hiding something, moved in her heart after hearing these words. There was no too much change on his face, and he still just looked at him with a shallow smile.

General Zhou, who finished speaking here, saw that the two of them didn't say a word, but just stared at him with an extremely light and no different look than before.

Although I felt a little weird, I still didn't think much about it, and just told what I knew.

"I really don't know the specific whereabouts of General Yu Chong this time, but I can provide you with some general directions and directions for General Yu Chong when he escaped that day."

Zhuang Mingyue, who heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, although it was just like what General Zhou said.

Now it has indeed been several days since General Yu Chong left that day, and after so many days of the place and direction of departure that day, it stands to reason that there is really nothing to use.

But in his opinion, it is better to have clues than no clues, not to mention that according to General Yu Chong's ability, it is impossible not to leave the slightest clue for them.

Since he is a general, in the case of defeat, he must know that in the next time, the imperial court will definitely send someone to take his place again, and in addition to this.

Since he is a general, he came this time, as long as the war is promising, and he is not directly captured by the Chu State.

will definitely send someone to look for him, so in this case, the two of them also believe that after Yu Chong leaves, they will definitely leave some traces.

In order to facilitate the next time, people can go to find his whereabouts.

In this case, although it stands to reason that what the general said this week is reasonable.

But for Zhuang Mingyue, it is very useful.

But because of this, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu didn't think too much about it in the following time, and they didn't have too much entanglement with this General Zhou again, but after a simple trial, they placed her in a position that was not too important.

After all, in the final analysis, it is still not so important for this General Zhou to really want to be convinced, or because of other reasons, that he will come to take refuge this time.

It would be best to put him in a position where it would not affect any of their decisions, or would have any impact on their trip.

After settling this person, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu arranged the remaining troops that General Zhou had brought with them this time, as well as the remaining troops they had captured and had decided to take refuge, into their own troops.

Later, some people were sent back to Beijing to report the matter first, but they stayed, ready to follow the clues provided by the general this week, and stayed in the local area to search.

In addition to suppressing the rebellion of the general of the Chu State, the most important thing is to find General Yu Chong, who has disappeared here and does not know what happened.

Now that General Zhou and some of the soldiers have been surrendered and included in their own barracks, the most important thing next is naturally to find General Yu Chong.

It was also in this situation that the two of them were seen entering Shuanglong Mountain with some elite men and horses according to the instructions given by General Zhou.

This Shuanglong Mountain is very steep, and its location is right in the middle of the border between the Chu State and the Tiansheng Dynasty.

Now in this situation, these two countries did not include this Shuanglong Mountain into their own situation, but took Shuangleng Mountain as the dividing line, and separated the two countries.

It is precisely for this reason that there is no trace of the two countries living in it or doing too much on this mountain.

It is precisely because of this reason that this Shuanglong Mountain is overgrown with weeds, and there is no way for them to walk.

It can also be said that it is because of this that it makes the matter of them looking for General Yu Chong on this mountain more troublesome and complicated.

Even if the two of them stayed in person and brought some elite people to look for them, they didn't see Yu Chong after searching for a long time in the mountains.

At this point, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu here also began to doubt the authenticity of the news.

After all, after all, in the end, just as they thought before, if this General Yu Chong was serious, and Shi Ji escaped when passing by this Shuanglong Mountain, then from this kind of indication, he would definitely leave some traces that the people in the Tiansheng Dynasty could find.

Even if they don't stay, there should be some traces of people passing or staying overnight in this mountain place.

It's just that in this Shuanglong Mountain, there is no trace of anything, which will inevitably make them feel that something is wrong.
