After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall
Chapter 44 As You Said
Inside the car, Cui Rongrong's bright eyes keenly caught the subtle expression that flashed across her father's face, and her brows unconsciously twisted into a question mark: "Dad, you don't seem to completely trust him?"
Her voice was full of curiosity and confusion.
Cui Min nodded slightly, and the lines on his face became more resolute: "I know every face in the army by heart, but this informant is too unfamiliar to me. I have to be prepared for any accidents."
"But he claims to belong to the 'Wind' team. That team is directly under the command of the deputy general, and I have rarely come into contact with them. If there really is a new member joining, it would not be surprising if we don't know about it. Let's go and take a look at the situation first."
As Cui Rongrong spoke, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she obviously agreed with her father's caution.
The carriage was like an arrow shot from a bow, quickly passing through the city and heading straight for the military camp.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, the noisy clamor could already be heard faintly.
The father and daughter exchanged glances, a tacit understanding that required no words.
Without any hesitation, they walked straight into the camp gate, while the soldier who brought the news was left there, standing there alone, his eyes flickering.
Unexpectedly, he did not follow, but instead quietly walked to the other side of the camp.
"Stop! No one is allowed to enter! Leave immediately, or you will be blamed for being blind!"
The guard's scolding was cold and firm, echoing at the entrance of the camp.
Cui Rong's brows frowned slightly, but she quickly followed her father's footsteps into the noisy place.
As the distance shortened, the face of the so-called troublemaker gradually became clearer, but her brows suddenly relaxed, replaced by an indescribable surprise.
It turned out that the person who appeared in the military camp was Zhang Wen.
Judging from his appearance, he had obviously made some decision after careful consideration.
Cui Rong couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth into a barely perceptible smile, and thought to herself: Zhang Wen is really patient. Even in front of someone as close as Lin Yuanming, he never reveals a single word.
His persistence and forbearance must be the result of a difficult decision made in his inner struggle.
Cui Min walked with Cui Rong and his tall body towards the center of the crowd. His deep gaze seemed to be able to see through everything and he looked directly at Zhang Wen.
"If you have anything important to say, please speak up."
His tone was calm but powerful, "In a military camp, it is not wise to force your way in."
Zhang Wen's eyes gently swept over Cui Rong who was beside Cui Min. The face that always wore a gentle smile was unusually calm at this moment: "The person I'm looking for is you, General Cui."
These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding soldiers, who issued warnings one after another: "How dare you! How dare you be so rude to the general!"
However, Cui Min simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. At the same time, Cui Rong took the opportunity to get close to her father's ear and whispered a few words, and his frown slowly relaxed.
"So you are the Master Zhang that Rong'er mentioned. I have heard of your fame for a long time and today I finally get to meet you."
There was a rare hint of smile in Cui Min's words.
Zhang Wen remained calm and said, "I don't know how Miss Cui portrayed me to the general, but my purpose is clear - I am willing to join the army and serve my country. If the general thinks I am capable of the important task, I will defend our homeland to the death. On the contrary, if I am not the right person in the general's mind, I don't want to waste my precious time here."
These words were so powerful that the surrounding soldiers were shocked. They looked at each other, almost unable to believe their ears.
"Where did this arrogant person come from? How dare he be so presumptuous to the general!"
Someone asked loudly.
"How can we allow such a rude person to infiltrate the army? General, we absolutely cannot do that!"
Another person tried to dissuade him urgently.
Faced with all kinds of doubts, Cui Min was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He just looked at Zhang Wen carefully with an almost admiring gaze.
His years of experience on the battlefield taught him that those who dared to volunteer were mostly modest and cautious, and people as straightforward and honest as Zhang Wen were indeed rare.
At this moment, the deputy general walked through the crowded crowd and came to Cui Min, with a worried look on his face and a frown on his face: "General, please think twice! Don't agree to him."
He spoke in a hurried tone, as if with an irresistible sense of urgency: "This man broke into the camp without permission and caused many soldiers to be injured. If the general easily accepts him, how can he explain to the brothers who were injured because of him?"
However, Cui Rongrong's voice was calm and sharp: "General Bai's words make sense, but my father and I have come here, and no one has explained the cause and effect to us in detail."
“Whether it is right or wrong, the truth always needs to be discerned.”
Her words seemed to remind everyone that any decision should be made on the basis of a thorough investigation of the facts.
Brigadier General Bai stood there, his face slightly flushed. When his eyes met Cui Rong's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he revealed a barely perceptible evasion, and then he slowly moved his gaze aside.
Zhang Wen maintained a calm demeanor, with a faint smile on his face. He spoke in a calm and firm voice: "When I arrived at the camp, I saw that the camp gate was wide open and there were no guards around, so I stopped for a while and walked in on my own. Unexpectedly, this action immediately attracted a severe rebuke, accusing me of trespassing."
"Just as I was about to explain, the other party attacked me without saying a word. The means were so brutal that I had no choice but to take self-defense measures."
When Zhang Wen said this, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but the determination in his eyes never wavered.
Cui Rongrong heard this, a trace of doubt flashed across her brows. She turned around gently, looked directly at Lieutenant General Bai, and said in a dignified voice: "Deputy General, is it really as he said?"
Lieutenant General Bai was caught off guard by this sudden questioning. He hastily refuted with a little anxiety in his voice: "Your Excellency, this is nonsense! How can our guards leave their posts without permission? Miss, you know how much we value discipline. If such an outrageous thing really happened, I will definitely not forgive it!"
His words were full of anger and unwillingness, and the last sentence was almost shouted, attracting the attention of people around him, and the scene became quite awkward for a moment.
"This person clearly has ulterior motives and is trying to confuse the public! We must not let him off lightly, and we must not let him enter and leave our camp at will!"
General Bai was very emotional and pointed his finger at Zhang Wen with trembling hands, almost begging for the approval of those around him.
Cui Rongrong looked around, and every flickering look in the crowd did not escape her eyes. She had made up her mind.
She turned to Cui Min, who was sitting in a high seat, and said in a gentle but decisive tone: "Father, this incident is complicated. We might as well go check on the injured first and then make a decision."
