C504 Persistent sequelae (1/2)
Mountain Customs, at night.
Because he had violated the military rules, the little soldier, Ah Tun, was tied to a pillar and refused to eat or drink. He didn't even shout out a single word, standing straight in the snow, his beautiful face gradually filled with the vicissitudes of the wind and snow.
However, in his mind, he kept thinking about one thing: How did that tiger suddenly barge into the army?
The guards in his tent were anxious when they saw him being punished like this. However, no one could help as this was a military punishment.
On the second day, Grand Marshal Li Yanfu came out to inspect, accompanied by the Left Vanguard Wang Qin. When the soldiers saw the Grand Marshal, they all bowed.
Lian Yanfu glanced at the person tied to the pillar, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. ”This kid, he really can endure.”
Marshal, I've followed your orders to investigate. As expected, the appearance of this tiger was not occasionally. I found sheep's blood and goat's feet where the tiger appeared yesterday. Wang Qin said from the side.
Lian Yanfu nodded his head and said, ”This marshal has been stationed at the mountain customs for four years and has never seen such a situation before. This is truly strange, so I want you to properly investigate.”
Wang Qin glanced at the person tied to the pillar and said in a low voice, ”Marshal, tell me, could it be that he's here for Young Master Tong?”
Lian Yan Fu's gaze turned profound as he said, ”If he came back for a trick, who else did he offend?”
”Could it be that someone knew the identity of young master Gu, and out of jealousy, decided to just leave it at that?” Wang Qin guessed.
Lian Yan Fu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, ”No, this marshal doesn't think it will be that simple. Summoning a tiger to attack the barracks is not an easy task; it seems to be planning for a long time. ”Wang Qin, quickly find that horn and interrogate him again in detail. The details of how he discovered the fierce tiger that day will be completely clear.”
”Yes sir!” Wang Qin clasped his fists.
”If someone really wants to deal with Yi'er, he might make a move tomorrow night. Tomorrow is the third day, and Yi'er's stamina and stamina are almost at their limits. It's the easiest time to make a move, send someone to keep an eye on him and make sure nothing goes wrong.” Lian Yanfu instructed.
”Yes, Marshal, this lowly general will make the arrangements.” Wang Qin turned around and left.
Lian Yan Fu's gaze lingered for a week before it landed on Lian Fu.
On the third day, it started snowing again.
Finally he felt his spirit slowly dissipate, his throat was dry, and the skin on his lips was dry. He slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar.
In the middle of the night, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. His head tilted to the side and he fell into a deep slumber.
Only the night watchman was left standing on the edge of the wall.
At this moment, in a certain tent, a sneaky figure sneakily got up while the person in the tent was asleep. He took the bow and arrows, quietly left the tent, bent over, and walked next to another tent, using the cover to point the bow and arrow at the person tied to the pillar.
He gritted his teeth, a struggle appearing on his face as he put down his bow and arrow. He gripped the bow tightly, as if he was suffering in his heart.
After a moment, his heart skipped a beat. Thinking of his parents and sisters, he finally raised his bow, clenched his teeth, and aimed at Lian Fu's body. His hands loosened and the arrow shot out.
”Arfan, I'm sorry!”
At this moment, Lian Meng suddenly opened his eyes. The hand that was tied behind him suddenly regained its freedom. Then, the wooden stake on Lian Lian's back quickly rotated — —
”Pah!” The arrow hit the wooden stake.
