Noon of the second day.
" Dong dong…" The sound of drums resounded throughout the entire camp of the Heaven Festival Army. Li Chengqian, who was about to take an afternoon nap, opened his eyes unhappily and looked at the sky.
It was almost lunchtime. Even if it was training, it should not be at this time.
"Damn it, what the hell is this Luo Yi doing?”Li Chengqian couldn't help but curse. He asked the soldiers guarding him at the door,""What happened? Why are you making such a big fuss again?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this is a gathering drum. It should be our commander-in-chief summoning all the generals and schools in the camp for a meeting. This lowly one heard that two spies were caught this morning.”A minor colonel respectfully pulled open the curtain of the tent and bowed.
Li Chengqian was shocked. His first reaction was that Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji's matter had been exposed.
However, on second thought, he realized that something was wrong.
The matter that he and Zhao Cihao had agreed on had yet to be initiated. These two were both shrewd people. No matter what, it was impossible for something to happen so quickly.
"Do you know who it is?" Li Chengqian asked indifferently.
" This lowly one doesn't know…" The minor colonel hurriedly bowed and said,""However, these two people seem to have been captured by Commander Zhao…"
Li Chengqian glanced at the small school, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and threw it over.""You're quite sensible, kid. Here, this is your reward!”
After he finished speaking, Li Chengqian closed his eyes again to rest.
Just as he felt a little sleepy, Yang Ji strode in and bowed, saying,""Your Highness, our marshal invites you!"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yang Ji. He asked without batting an eyelid,""General Yang, what's with the two spies we just caught?”
" They're not Zhao Cihao's and my men. These two people sneaked into the camp last night and were caught by Zhao Cihao's men. I heard from Zhao Cihao that these two people seem to be secret envoys sent by Chang 'an. They came in with the team that came to deliver food from Chang' an.”Yang Ji said respectfully.
A secret envoy from Chang 'an?" Li Chengqian frowned slightly.""Why did Chang 'an send a secret envoy here?”
"Zhao Cihao specially interrogated the two of them for an entire night, but the two of them refused to say anything. They kept begging to see Luo Yi. This morning, someone leaked the news, and the two of them were taken away by Luo Yi.”Yang Ji's voice became lower and lower. After looking around, he continued,"Your Highness, these two seem to be coming for you! You have to be careful. This time, Luo Yi asked you to go over. I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you.”
Li Chengqian nodded. After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Yang Ji,"Looks like we can't delay any longer. We have to act as soon as possible!”
After saying that, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and said loudly to Yang Ji,""General Yang, lead the way!"
In the main tent of the army, Luo Yi sat at the head of the table. The tent was filled with short tables and praying mats. Almost all the important generals of the Tianjie Army were gathered together.
Two middle-aged men dressed like merchants were trembling as they knelt in an empty spot in the middle of the tent. They looked coldly at Li Chengqian who had just entered.
Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly as he laughed loudly and said,"King Yan! What good thing had happened today that he had to hold such a banquet?”
It was obvious that Luo Yi's attitude was not for discussion.
In front of each general was a table for banquets. On the table were wine jugs and dishes. It was obvious that they were going to feast.
Looking at this lineup, Li Chengqian suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"A grand banquet? Prince of Zhongshan, take a good look at what our brothers are eating at the dining table.!”Luo Yi angrily pointed at the wild vegetables and brown rice on the table and looked at Li Chengqian coldly.""Li Chengqian! Li Shi Min promised this king 100,000 dan of grain, why did he only send 10,000 dan this time?! There is nothing left to eat in the Tianjie Army! Are you trying to force us to kill you and rebel?!”
Li Chengqian calmly glanced at the two fierce guards standing behind Luo Yi and strode towards the position beside Luo Yi.
"Stop!" Guan Yu and the other two wanted to follow him, but they were stopped by two guards at the door."This is the main tent of the central army. The marshal and the generals are discussing matters in the tent.”
The faces of Guan Yu and the other two turned cold, and killing intent overflowed from their bodies. It was as if as long as Li Chengqian said a word, they would start a massacre without caring about anything!
The two guards at the door were so scared that they trembled and wanted to retreat.
Li Chengqian glanced at Zhao Cihao, Yang Ji, and the others before waving his hand at Guan Yu and the other two."You guys wait outside!"
Finished talking, Li Chengqian leisurely sat down on the seat beside Luo Yi.
"Regarding the issue of grain, I can immediately write a letter to Chang 'an to urge them. Now that we have 10,000 dan of grain, it should be no problem for the whole army to eat for a few days, right?”
"Prince Yan, generals, I think the Imperial Court will not disregard my life just because of a hundred thousand dan of grain, right?”
Li Chengqian smiled calmly, showing full confidence.
But in reality, Li Chengqian did not have any confidence in his heart right now either!
Li Shi Min had personally promised 100,000 dans of rations in this letter!
100,000 dan of grain should not be difficult for Chang 'an!
However, for the Heavenly Festival Troop who had run out of rations, this was a life-saving food!
If they didn't have this amount of rations, the desperate Luo Yi and the Tianjie Army would probably have only one choice left, rebellion!
Li Chengqian could not figure out why two to three days had passed, but only 10,000 dans of grain had arrived!
This was completely illogical!
Moreover, he had just instigated Yang Ji and Zhao Cihao to defect last night, and Luo Yi had already made strict precautions against him so quickly.
In addition to these two mysterious Chang 'an secret envoys.
The more Li Chengqian looked at it, the more he felt like it was a trap!
Could it be that Yang Ji and Zhao Cihao had betrayed him?
Li Chengqian felt uneasy in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled calmly.
Historical experience told Li Chengqian that the more unpredictable the situation was, the more he had to appear calm and composed!
"Good! This king will believe you this time! If the remaining food is not there in three days, I will kill you as a sacrifice, command the army in Chang 'an, and personally go to Chang' an to snatch food for myself!”Luo Yi looked at Li Chengqian and snorted coldly. Then, he turned his head and scolded the two secret envoys with a cold smile,"Speak! Who sent you two? What do you want from me?”
A middle-aged man with a goatee arrogantly snorted and cupped his hands at Luo Yi."Luo Yi! You still don't know when you're going to die! Still showing off here? Let me tell you, don't even think about taking a bushel of the remaining rations!!”
"What an open scheme!" Hearing the two people's words, Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly, instantly guessing the purpose of these two people!
It was obvious that these two people wanted to kill him with a borrowed knife!!
