Chapter 680 - External Force (2/2)
“Drink! Drink! Eat meat! Eat ain, the external force broke apart the dilemma that could not end on its own
Old Man Mu was carrying a big wine-jar in each hand that were so large theyside by side Right behind hie pieces of skewered barbecued meat and happily walked into the tent Old Man Mu called to the guards outside “Let’s eat together We’ve been hungry all day We’d have to keep starving if it weren’t for my quick hands”
Red Bat looked at the instructor worriedly but didn’t enter the tent with five guards until Shangguan Ru waved at her
Shangguan Fei warily watched the dripping fat off of the roast “It’s too bad Even the servants in the ca anymore If you ask me, I’d say that even if the Commandant is dead, the rest of the ht?”
So in the crook and he alain, but he was already stained with grease He turned his head and looked at Old Man Mu in amazement but dared not to scold him “What? You said the Coestion of Old Man Mu, Shangguan Fei finally noticed that soht with her sister Her eyes see up with tears “Ehh, why are you…”
“Let’s drink and eat uan Ru loudly interrupted her brother, de one”
It was a very lively little party In order to not disturb the nearby soldiers ere still , they didn’t make a noise Only Old Man Mu did not care who toasted to the good girl, and he forced Shangguan Fei to perform the toast dance, and praised Red Bat for her beauty whenever he had a chance “I don’t get it What’s wrong with the er, hehe, you’d have to have the good girl coe you”
Red Bat obviously didn’t care much for Old Man Mu flirtatious comments She was a concubine of the noble fa her master’s orders to servethe army that she broke away fro to cooperate with Old Man Mu to fix the atmosphere in the tent “How do you know that there are no men of the Norland who like me?”
Gu Shenwei ate a few small pieces of meat but drank no wine He had quickly broken free of the complicated emotional disturbance and redoubled his efforts towards the current situation at hand He had made several assassination plans but the death of the Commandant had disrupted their deploy was not to his liking, it would be useless no matter how many assassination plans he had made
Liman came at dusk and ate a bit ofto say so Old Man Mu took Shangguan Fei with hiain Red Bat and the other men continued to keep watch outside the tent
“Have Azheba and the other officers already chosen a candidate?” asked Shangguan Ru She had drunk lots of wine but only eaten a few pieces of htly intoxicated, her mind was actually more clear and rational than before
“Not yet, but the main tent has already decided on their four candidates, whom include both Co the chiliarchs is very fierce There are reat service and should express their opinions In other words, it’s a mess I don’t think that the result will coht watch period”
Gu Shenwei knew that Liman’s purpose here was not simply to report the results so he carefully observed his expression Azheba seeht-lipped, and Liation into thein surprise because the other side had guessed as on his ”
“What happened?” Shangguan Ru was also very concerned about this uan Ru called out, “Red Bat, could you please help us light the laht the lamp and lowered the door flap on her way out
Li of the day before yesterday to last night, the Coroups of roup and found that the s were basically about military affairs It’s already confir yesterday afternoon Four generals met the Commandant but nobody knohat they talked about and we can’t verify it either”
“So you think the people who instigated the Commandant to leave the caenerals?” asked Shangguan Ru
“Hmm” Li towhile
“Couessed
Liht of that One of Gulun’s responsibility is to lead the guards Azheba asked him, he also said that he was a victim of the fraud Protective measures were carefully planned but the tent he protected is euan Ru thought that it was too soon to assuh “Both Azheba and I hope that this was a uards of all the shi+fts in the past two days to make sure there were no omissions We are pretty sure there are only these fifteen shi+fts of people and for each shi+ft, there are at least titnesses Only Gulun …”
“Who are the other three generals?”
“To tell you the truth, I am now completely bewildered The other three are all captains, one of whom is Wucuo And it couldn’t be more coincidental These four enerals have just decided”
Even Shangguan Ru felt that the situation was suspicious by now “But, how co Riyao’s and Gulun has always been inclined towards Prince Duodun Instead of allies, they behavewas clear now “That’s it Tuosai isn’t aware that he’s on the way to death and that the one will give hiht over by King Shengri?” Although Liman had discovered out the truth, he could not believe it
“King Shengri is good at both bribing and threatening” Gu Shenwei had no doubts about it
“What should we do now?”
“Let’s see if the chiliarchs can couan Ru, which was the first time he looked at her since dinner “Did Wild Horse come to you?”
Han Fen was very loyal to Lotus but she would not lie She said Wild Horse would win over Shangguan Ru for King Shengri and this probably had already happened Shangguan Ru hadn’t mentioned it yet, so Gu Shenwei could only ask her directly
