Chapter 161 Died Halfway
One hundred thousand kilograms of grain is not a small amount, and the team transporting the grain is nowhere to be seen. General Fengming stood on the city wall, looking at the team transporting grain below, his eyes flashed, and then he asked the deputy general next to him:
"Did you see anything?"
"Panlong Kingdom has no good intentions. The team transporting food this time has too many people."
The deputy general was not blind. He had already made a guess when he saw the long queue.
"General, look at the rut marks on their grain trucks. They are light and heavy, but I see that the number of grain bags on this truck is the same."
"I'm going to inform you that you must be careful when you enter the city for inspection. Their people should be arranged in one place as much as possible so that you can monitor them more easily. If a male mosquito flies out of their camp, I will ask you about it."
"My subordinate understands!"
The deputy general clasped his fists and immediately turned around and went down the tower to arrange the follow-up matters.
The people sent by the Panlong Kingdom to trade did not expect that the person who met them was not the General Zhao whom the Second Princess had greeted in advance, but the young and smiling General Feng Ming.
"Thank you for your hard work for coming all the way! This time, the urgent need of Fengqi Kingdom has been solved. The Queen personally ordered the general to entertain you well. Your residence has been taken care of, please come this way!"
Feng Ming went to meet the leader of the Panlong Kingdom in person. They both had smiles on their faces and MMP in their hearts.
The visitor knew exactly how Longling City was lost. Feng Ming, who had a fake smile across from him, was the culprit.
Feng Ming could tell at a glance that the other party was a smiling tiger. Even though he smiled kindly and spoke politely now, he would never show mercy when stabbed in the back. Last time, it was this person who led the troops to support, but he was a step too late. He watched helplessly as she Captured by Longling City.
Both parties pretended to be peaceful and exchanged tacit greetings, and Feng Ming went directly to the next process:
"General Han, you arrived in time, so I won't say too many polite words. I will send someone to inspect the food with General Han's men. If there is no problem, we will give you money. I hope you can understand. , after all, the people in the disaster-stricken city are still waiting for food!"
"General Fengming is a little impatient."
Han Lu lowered his eyes and said.
"Time waits for no one. I hope General Han will understand and check every package of food. This is a big project and it will definitely take a long time."
"If General Fengming is in a hurry, he can do spot checks. There is no need to check every package of food. This is more efficient."
"Tsk, that's what I thought too. However, there are some discords between our two countries. Although the Panlong Kingdom has changed to a new emperor, we are still afraid that some people have ulterior motives and bring up old matters again. Therefore, for the sake of future transactions, we should be cautious now for everyone. good."
What Feng Ming said was no longer straightforward, almost saying: We cannot trust you, Panlong Kingdom, and we are afraid that you will tamper with the food.
Han Lu's nostrils were all widened, but for the sake of the follow-up plan, he could only endure it, took a deep breath, and then said:
"My deputy is responsible for subsequent weighing and inspection, and I also hope that Fengmingguo will settle in cash."
"Of course! This was all agreed upon from the beginning."
Feng Ming agreed with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, the two lieutenants behind him stepped forward and took the Panlong Kingdom people to the place where the grain trucks were stored, and then began to weigh and inspect them.
"General Han, please come here. Feng has prepared some wine and is waiting for you to catch the wind."
Feng Ming politely invited Han Lu to the central tent as a guest, and generously let him see the situation in the military camp.
While walking along the road, Han chatted with Feng Ming. He kept talking and eyes. He looked around very skillfully and found that there were at least ten teams of people with three steps, one post and five steps around. The mobile patrol patrolled the military camp, and looked at them with somewhat unkind eyes.
The Panlong Kingdom's food transport team this time was drawn from the army. In addition to transporting food, they also had to inquire about the situation in Fengqi Kingdom and even prepare for infiltration.
There was another group of nine people who entered the city hidden in a grain truck. Their goal was to assassinate the Third Princess. Naturally, these people could not be seen in the light, so Han Lu wanted to delay for a while so that these people could escape, but Feng Ming was keeping an eye on them. It's too tight, and the words are too straightforward.
Han Lu and the others had calculated the time and arrived at Longling City before sunset. Therefore, even if they were weighed overnight, it would take at least two days to complete all inspections. Therefore, Han Lu and his party naturally stayed in Longling City temporarily. .
After it got dark, there was some movement in the grain truck that was deliberately placed at the bottom. Several Panlong soldiers who were transporting grain received the signal and immediately surrounded the truck to provide cover for these people. The people who were hiding were allowed to leave the grain truck smoothly, and then mixed in with the Panlong Kingdom soldiers who were transporting grain.
After the nine people escaped successfully, they immediately changed direction and headed straight for Fengxuan City under the cover of night.
After the nine people left, Feng Ming received the report from the deputy general. At that time, Feng Ming had arranged for Han Lu, who was pretending to be drunk, to be sent back to the tent to rest.
"General, do you want to pursue me?"
"Chase, shoot and kill them if you catch up! Anyway, these people did not enter through the city gate openly. They can be regarded as thieves. If they are not killed, how can they be kept for the New Year?"
Feng Ming glared at the deputy general and said.
"My subordinates understand that people have been arranged to fall behind them. Without your order, we dare not act rashly. What if we ruin the general's deployment?"
The deputy general explained promptly.
"It seems they are not doing anything good, otherwise there is no need to be secretive."
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
The deputy general turned around and left the main camp tent.
The people sent by the Panlong Kingdom to assassinate the Third Princess were caught in the chase before they arrived at Fengxuan City. Many were killed and wounded, and only two of them finally arrived at Fengxuan City.
At that time, the Third Princess had recovered under the careful care of Xian Shijun. Xian Shijun also received the Queen's order and saw the people who came to pick up the Third Princess and leave.
Xian Shijun told the visitors that they were almost plotted to be infected with the plague, and said that it was not appropriate for them to leave now. They themselves knew that the third princess had recovered, but others did not. If someone with intentions used this to make a fuss, they would Don't want to fulfill the other party's needs.
After thinking for a while, the third princess went to Xian Shijun alone and told her her plan:
"Father, I have recovered now and will not be infected with the plague again. This is what the imperial doctor said. You are the most dangerous person now. Although I don't know why the Queen Mother took me back to the capital, in my opinion, the most dangerous person is Place is the safest place, and the plague is a natural protection for me.”
"So you want to stay."
"Yes, there is still some time left before the one-year period stipulated by the Queen Mother. My daughter wants to persist until the end. Please ask her father to go back first and explain the situation here to the Queen Mother."
The third princess said firmly.
"You have grown up. Even so, I will not stop you. As you said, the most dangerous place is the safest. But you have to change your face. The guards I brought are left to you. The ones beside you before I will take the people away, even if they take action, I can still share the burden for you."
