A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 160 The battle is not going well

Tuoba Hong's face darkened instantly, so dark that it looked as if water could drip out of it. The guarding soldier, frightened to the point of his legs going weak, reported cautiously: "Little Khan, that man has accomplices, who have already escaped during this chaos."

At this moment, Tuoba Hong's face was as cold as ice, and the woman was crawling at his feet sadly.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she cried out in a sobbing tone:

"Little Khan, you have to take charge of me. She hit me, wuwu..."

However, her voice was like a fly buzzing in Tuoba Hong's ears, making him even more angry.

He raised his foot and mercilessly kicked the woman aside. At the same time, he roared like thunder:

"Everyone, get out!" The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and she crawled out of the tent in a very embarrassed manner.

In a flash, Tuoba Hong was the only one left in the once bustling tent. His eyes gradually grew darker and deeper, revealing a chilling aura.

His lips trembled slightly, and he whispered, "So that woman was really sent by Gu Yizhou! Good, very good!"

The voice was low and hoarse, filled with a chill that penetrated the bones.

At this time, Tuoba Hong secretly swore in his heart that he must capture this woman.

At this moment, a soldier hurried in, half-knelt on the ground with a plop, and reported in a fearful manner:

"Little Khan, our people found nine men by the river in the back. After all our efforts, we saved two of them."

After hearing the report, Tuoba Hong slowly came back to his senses from his angry thoughts, turned around and strode out of the tent, heading straight towards the tent where military and political affairs were being discussed.

After he entered the tent, he strode to the top position.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted with one hand.

Tuoba Hong's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, finally focusing on the two men kneeling on the ground.

Wendu has a very hot temper, like a powder keg that can be ignited at any time.

He had just interrogated the two men, but they refused to say a word.

Because the young Khan was not there, although he was extremely anxious, he did not dare to punish them without authorization.

Tuoba Hong looked down at the two people below from a high position. He asked in a tone that was cold enough to freeze a person:

"Where are you from?" Although the voice tried its best to suppress its anger, it still made people feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

However, one of the men started to curse at Tuoba Hong. This completely angered Wendu, and his face turned red with anger.

He rushed forward and kicked the man hard. With a muffled "bang", the man fell to the ground.

"Forget it, drag them all away and punish them by being torn into pieces by five horses!" Tuoba Hong said coldly with an expressionless face.

He knew very well that people were too hard-headed to cry until they saw the coffin. Only when they truly felt the fear of death would they speak obediently.

Sure enough, one of the men was so frightened after hearing this cruel punishment that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling violently:

"Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything!" Tuoba Hong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.

She whispered that as long as he told the truth, she would spare his life. With this promise, the man felt like he had grabbed a lifeline, and he cherished this hard-earned chance of survival even more.

The man who was captured with him was immediately furious when he saw him doing this. He roared and kicked him.

Tuoba Hong signaled his men with a cold look to drag the angry man away.

The man begging for mercy said anxiously, "We risked our lives to swim out of Jiangzhou City. There were more than twenty of us in total. We went to Zhaotong to get help. I don't know if they made it."

Tuoba Hong's brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. He didn't expect that they would find a loophole. He thought that he had blocked all the roads tightly and there would be no room for error.

Seeing that Tuoba Hong's face was getting uglier, the man was afraid that he would suddenly change his mind, so he made a quick decision and betrayed Yi Duoer:

"Sir, please let me go. I know it was Qin Sangsang who came up with this idea, and they also controlled this plague."

Tuoba Hong glanced at him with disdain, his eyes full of contempt and disdain. He always looked down upon such treacherous villains.

So he said coldly: "Take him away and kill him." The man was instantly panicked and shouted for mercy.

But he was still dragged away mercilessly. The general sitting on the side asked worriedly: "What should we do now?"

Tuoba Hong raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing an incomparable sharpness. He said in a low and majestic voice:

"Send people to Zhaotong to intercept them halfway. Have all soldiers ready. Attack the city tomorrow morning!"

"Yes..." Everyone responded in unison. Their faces were filled with excitement. Now they could finally show off their skills.

In the past two days, most of the soldiers in Jiangzhou were killed or wounded, and the fighting was extremely brutal. Even those corrupt scholars who only knew how to read books on weekdays went to the battlefield.

Yi Duo'er originally thought that as long as they burned their granaries, the enemy would lose the ability to attack due to lack of food and grass.

In Zhaotong, the people sent by Tuoba Hong were no match for Jiang Lin. The original team of twenty people now had only seven people left.

The reason why they were able to enter the military camp unimpeded was entirely because Jiang Lin disguised himself as Chu Jingchen.

The general was stunned when he heard the news, his mind filled with confusion. Why did the Regent suddenly come here? But he didn't have time to think carefully, and went to greet him without delay.

Everyone knelt in unison. Jiang Lin was slightly stunned, his face a little stiff, but fortunately he had experienced countless big scenes and had a calm and composed temperament. Therefore, he remained very calm.

On the contrary, the six men beside him had never seen such a scene. Faced with so many people kneeling, they felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

They knew very well that if their impersonation of the regent was exposed, it would be the end of them. Their faces were filled with panic, and although they tried their best to restrain themselves, they still found it difficult to conceal their panic.

This made General Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, keenly aware of a hint of doubt.

Not to mention that he had not received any news about the Regent's arrival, the fact that the Regent arrived so suddenly was already very suspicious.

What's more, all the followers around him were so panic-stricken, and his personal generals, Han Bo and Ling Feng, were not there.

Jiang Lin saw through his thoughts at a glance, so he calmly asked everyone to stand up, and then imitated Chu Jingchen's tone and said:

"General Xiao, the Tiger Ju Army is currently attacking Jiangzhou. It's been so long, don't you know? Do you admit your guilt?"

General Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He didn't even dare to stand up. His heart was filled with shock and fear.

Hu Ju actually attacked the border of Qi Dynasty, but he hadn't heard any news! He stammered hurriedly and said he didn't know.

After explaining a few words, Jiang Lin asked him to get up quickly and then mobilize troops to go and assist Jiangzhou.

As General Xiao stood up, he felt something was amiss. How could such a major event as Huju's attack on Jiangzhou happen so quietly without a single word of warning?

He stared at Jiang Lin with suspicion.

After falling into deep thought, he felt more and more suspicious. Although the man in front of him had the same face as Chu Jingchen, the person next to him obviously did not look like a soldier.

What's more, each of those people behaved very unnaturally. Their eyes were erratic and uncertain.

He also knew about the strange people and things in the martial arts world, and naturally knew that there were people in the martial arts world who could make human skin masks.

As the garrison commander here, he shoulders heavy responsibilities and naturally cannot be careless and arbitrarily deploy troops. You must know that this is a capital crime.

So, he said in a tentative tone: "Your Highness, you said that Hu Ju was attacking Jiangzhou, but I didn't hear anything about it. Why did you suddenly come to Zhaotong? Why didn't General Han come with you? You wouldn't..."

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking over Jiang Lin, as if he could see through him, especially at Jiang Lin's neck, trying to see if there was any trace of a human skin mask there.

As long as Jiang Lin hesitated in answering, he would immediately have them arrested.

Jiang Lin's eyes were sharp as a knife. He began to doubt himself. If he continued to talk to him, he would definitely be exposed. So, he decisively took out the token from his pocket.

Jiang Lin raised the token in his hand. In an instant, a domineering aura emanated from him. He said unhappily, "What? General Xiao still doubts me?"

General Xiao took a closer look at the token and saw the three words "Prince Chen's Order" written on it.

After confirming that the token was genuine, he immediately turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a plop and confessed his guilt!
