Chapter 802 (2/2)

The two month long campaign has added two more gullies to the old general Zhao's face in his twilight years.

Zhao Xingwen's death also made him look haggard than any time he saw him at the beginning of the summer.

Even now that he was about to enter the city and saw that the war was about to end, there was no happy look on his face.

At the beginning of summer, he plunged into the arms of old general Zhao. He wanted to cry. As soon as he opened his mouth, he choked: ”Grandpa.”

Old general Zhao held him in his arms. When he opened his mouth, he asked him, ”how's the boy Gu Xingyun?”

At the beginning of summer, I was forced to retreat from the fog rising in my eyes: ”I've been saved.”

Old general Zhao stroked his forehead. His vigorous hands were full of calluses. His thick voice was a little heavy: ”that's good, just live.”

At the beginning of summer, I heard that the fog just retreated from the speech condensed again. It's good to live, but Zhao Xingwen can't live

General Zhao patted him on the back to let him loose. He didn't immerse himself in the pain too much. He turned to Xiao mubai and handed him a letter.

At the beginning of summer, he breathed twice, stabilized his mood, collected his mind, and walked to Xiao mubai to see with him.

At this sight, he hurriedly took the letter away and tore it to pieces: ”you can't go in alone.”

Xiao mubai looked at his angry move and pinched his cheek. Then he didn't answer him. Instead, he asked old general Zhao, ”what's going on in the city now?”

General Zhao went to the layout of the fortress city: ”after the siege yesterday, the city began to prepare explosives. The explosives were not buried under the city gate to prevent our army from attacking the city, but the place where people gathered. It was a busy street and an important flow of people. It was not difficult to guess the intention of Princess Li. She was going to...”

”People all over the city buried her.” Xiao mubai took over the rest of his words, turned to the beginning of summer and whispered, ”ah Chu...”

At the beginning of summer, with a tight frown, he went to old general Zhao and said in an urgent tone: ”Grandpa, find someone to pass a message to the ink King army behind us, so that their feet can slow down and arrive late at night.”

Old general Zhao was stunned. It can be seen that he looked nervous, his tone was urgent, and didn't ask much. Then he called his capable deputy general mingbotao into the room and ordered him to report quickly.

Until Ming Botao's figure came out of the tent, old general Zhao turned back to early summer and asked, ”what does this mean?”

At the beginning of summer, she looked at Xiao mubai: ”at present, concubine Li doesn't know that we have arrived at the camp, but if you see the cavalry of King mo following us, you will coerce you into the city immediately with the people of the city. In this way, we don't even have time to discuss countermeasures.”

General Zhao and Xiao mubai looked at each other and immediately understood what he meant.

But the move was only delayed until tomorrow morning. Princess Li had received the news that the army could arrive tomorrow morning even according to the speed of the infantry.

Even if the cavalry of King Mo did not appear, concubine Li could kill the people until he had to appear.

Fortunately, at the beginning of summer, Xiao mubai and Xiao mubai arrived first on a peerless pony and won some time, but what can they do this night?

”Yesterday, imperial concubine Li let our people who came into the city to inquire about the news come back and asked him to bring the letter. If you see a person entering the city, you will kill a hundred people. It is said that you should not act rashly.” General Zhao was afraid that he would do extreme things, so he reminded him.

General Zhao's words extinguished the hope that had just risen in his heart at the beginning of summer. He originally planned to take a team of people into the city to see if he could empty the places where explosives were buried and solve the worries of attacking the city.

But this obviously won't work
