The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse
Chapter 944: Could it be Di Rong’s people who are causing trouble?
Tuoba Honghan frowned deeply, looking solemnly at the still sleepy Second Prince Tuoba Feng, and said in a deep voice: "The patrol soldiers reported that the war horses in the stables have been stolen."
"Uncle, are you talking about the war horses lost in the stable? How many horses were lost?" Tuoba Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and spoke in a light tone, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.
He thought to himself, it was just a few war horses, why did his uncle make such a fuss? Why would such a small matter wake him up from his dream in the middle of the night?
Before he finished speaking, General Zhen hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
Seeing that Prince Han and the Second Prince were both there, he quickly bowed and saluted: "This humble general pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Han and His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"General Zhen has arrived at the right time. You all should sit down and talk." Tuoba Honghan nodded and said coldly.
Zhen Song and the second prince sat down below.
Zhen Song looked up and saw Prince Han's serious expression. He couldn't help but feel nervous and asked hurriedly, "Your Highness, is there any urgent military information?"
King Han nodded coldly and said sternly, "The warhorses in the stables were stolen."
General Zhen was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he looked at Prince Han and asked the same question as the Second Prince: "Your Highness, how many war horses were stolen? Who stole them? Has the thief been caught?"
"The patrol just came to report that they had arrived at the stables and found the guard at the gate lying on the ground, still breathing but unconscious.
The gate to the horse ranch was wide open, and all the soldiers in the tents were stunned." King Han said in a heavy tone.
"Oh no, where are the war horses?" General Zhen stood up from his seat anxiously upon hearing this.
"It's not clear yet. The patrol team didn't hear any horse neighing. Send someone to report immediately. I've ordered Lieutenant General Bao to lead a team to investigate. The situation is still unclear."
"Uncle, you said... the guard at the horse ranch collapsed?" Tuoba Feng realized at this moment that something was amiss and the situation was serious. Suddenly remembering that one of his guards was missing, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, General Zhen, is there anyone missing from your tent?"
The two of them were a little confused by Tuoba Feng's question, and then they both shook their heads and said, "No."
Prince Han then asked, "Feng'er, what's wrong?"
"Uncle, one of my guards just disappeared."
Prince Han's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "Feng'er, which of your guards is missing? When did he disappear? Why didn't I hear you tell me?"
"Just before I arrived, Guard Sha was reporting this to me. Guard An was missing."
General Zhen also frowned and asked, "The Second Prince is referring to your bodyguard, Chang'an Luoden?"
Tuoba Feng nodded. "It's An Luoden. The guard at the gate said he went to the grove to relieve himself and hasn't returned. Guard Sha and his men searched the grove and the area around the city wall, but couldn't find any trace of him."
After hearing this, King Han was silent for a long time before he said, "Could this be..." Before he could finish his words, the tent curtain was suddenly thrown back, and a soldier rushed in, kneeling on one knee: "Report!"
When King Han saw that the man who came was none other than Deputy General Bao, who had just been sent to investigate, his heart suddenly tightened and he asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what's the situation?"
"Your Highness..." Lieutenant General Bao hesitated and did not dare to look directly at Prince Han.
"Why are you so hesitant? If you have something to say, just say it!" King Han's tone was stern, but he already felt ominous in his heart.
Lieutenant General Bao took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "The horse farm...the horses at the horse farm...all disappeared."
"What? What did you say?" Prince Han Tuoba Honghan slammed his palm onto the table beside him, causing a long crack to appear, revealing the depth of his internal strength. His face was filled with disbelief, and he demanded sharply, "What do you mean all the war horses are missing?"
"Your Highness. That's right, that's right... There is no warhorse in the stable now." Lieutenant General Bao had already spoken, so he made up his mind and spoke much more fluently without any scruples.
"Where are the guards? Are they really all unconscious?" King Han asked, suppressing his anger.
"Yes, Your Highness, they were all drugged and have not woken up yet."
Second Prince Tuoba Feng and General Zhen were completely bewildered upon hearing this. What was going on? Was he talking about their stable? What did they mean by "all the horses on the stable are missing"? They simply couldn't believe it was true.
After a long time, General Zhen came back to his senses and muttered to himself: "Three thousand war horses... three thousand horses... how could they disappear silently like this?" He was puzzled.
Seeing General Zhen's face full of suspicion, Deputy General Bao quickly said:
"General Zhen, I have led my soldiers through the stables, searching every corner. Indeed, of the three thousand war horses, not a single one was found. Every stable was empty, and even the hay in the backyard was gone."
He himself didn't believe it, but since not a single warhorse was found, he had to believe it.
Upon hearing this, King Han was furious and stood up from his seat. "Let's go! Go to the horse ranch immediately!" Then his face turned fierce, "Those guards who failed in their duties will all be dealt with by military law!"
"No... this is not right..." The second prince suddenly muttered in a trance.
"Feng'er, what did you say is wrong?" King Han looked impatiently at Tuoba Feng, who seemed a little dazed.
"Uncle Emperor, General Zhen, don't you think this is a problem?"
"what is the problem?"
"Three thousand war horses! Three thousand! Not just a few dozen. How did so many horses escape? This stable is so close to our camp, how come we didn't hear anything when they ran away?"
They nodded their heads at what the Second Prince Tuoba Feng said. Yes, this is not right!
Tuoba Feng continued, "Where can three thousand horses be taken in the middle of the night? The city gates are all closed, how can these horses leave the city?"
His words immediately reminded King Han. As if enlightened, King Han abruptly stopped on his way out of the tent and immediately ordered Zhen Song, "General Zhen, listen to my orders! Lead your troops to search the entire city immediately! Don't leave a single corner of the city untouched."
"Yes, sir! I will gather the troops immediately and search the entire city thoroughly." Zhen Song saluted and quickly left the tent.
Outside the tent, the bugler had already sounded the call to assemble. The soldiers woke up from their sleep and quickly came to the front of the tent to gather and receive orders.
"Uncle Emperor" Prince Han, who was about to leave the tent, heard Tuoba Feng calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Tuoba Feng seemed to be hesitant to speak. He asked in confusion, "Feng'er, what's wrong with you? Do you have any other ideas?"
"Uncle, I have some concerns." Tuoba Feng then whispered, "Could it be that Di Rong's men are behind this?"
"Well, the Dirong people are up to something? Why are they doing this?" He was a little unconvinced.
"Uncle, tell me, why did our war horses get into trouble when the Dirong people came? Those war horses were all sent by them. What's more, they and Tuoba Di..." He glanced outside the tent and whispered his doubts.
