Zhan Yan closed his eyes tightly. In fact, the moment they attacked, he had already guessed their origins.
They should be soldiers in the army!
Although the bows and arrows were covered, there was no way to hide their shooting habits.
He took a deep breath and said, "It should be the Northwest Military Camp. I never expected that one day I would be fighting against my own people!"
Lin Yiwan felt a little nervous. Someone didn't want them to go to the Northwest Military Camp. Does that mean Zhan Xuan's situation is not optimistic?
She turned her head and looked towards the northwest, wishing she could grow wings and fly there.
She is very worried about Zhan Xuan!
Perhaps seeing through her thoughts, Zhan Yan held her somewhat cold fingers and said, "Ah Xuan has been smart since he was young. When he encounters danger, he will definitely be able to protect himself. Don't worry too much!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could she not worry more? No matter how smart Zhan Xuan was, he was just a teenager.
She gritted her teeth and murmured, "Once I find out the spy in the Northwest Military Camp, I will definitely tear him into pieces. He is so despicable that he actually dared to attack Ah Xuan!"
Zhan Yan's eyes were also filled with murderous intent. What he hated most were traitors.
He said in a cold voice: "Xiao Zhuo has failed in his duty. As the general of the Northwest Army Camp, he actually made so many serious mistakes. He must be punished by military law!"
The two continued to rush to the northwest, while the military camp was in chaos.
Xiao Zhuo looked at the bewildered Xie Jianshu and said, "Prince, have you not found any trace of Zhan Xuan yet? Marquis Zhan Yi has received the news and is on his way to the military camp!"
Xie Jianshu shook his head bitterly: "No, Pang Qiang and I have searched the bottom of the cliff, and apart from the fabric of the torn clothes, we can't find any clues!"
Xiao Zhuo raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying, "No clues is good news. It's better than seeing his body!"
Xie Jianshu frowned and asked, "General, I can't understand how the barbarians knew where we hid the hostages. Only a few people know this, and you are the only one who knows it!"
Xiao Zhuo's expression suddenly changed. He shouted coldly, "Prince, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that this general has leaked information to the barbarians?"
Xie Jianshu spoke without hesitation, "Yes, I suspected you. Our Boss Xuan was about to gain the upper hand. He even secretly moved the hostages to the cellar of Deputy Captain Liu Xizhi's home. Unexpectedly, they were still rescued. Poor Liu Xizhi's parents were all brutally hacked to death. Even his pregnant wife was not spared. How vicious they are!"
He seemed to still be able to see the blood-red color in the Liu family's yard. It was precisely because of this stimulation that Zhan Xuan went alone to chase after people.
Xiao Zhuo said angrily, "Xie Jianshu, as the commander of the Northwest Army, I am loyal to the court. How could I be a traitor? As for Shi Qian's hiding place, how can you be so sure that I leaked it? Don't you have any spies around you?"
Xie Jianshu's face turned pale and ugly. He gritted his teeth and retorted, "Everyone around me has a life-and-death relationship with Boss Xuan. As for those villagers, they won't murder their own people. So, there must be a spy hiding among you!"
Xiao Zhuo's heart was beating with anger, but he didn't dare to confront Xie Jianshu again.
After all, his status is very noble.
He said coldly, "For now, we shouldn't stay here and argue and blame each other. Instead, we should hurry and find Zhan Xuan. Otherwise, when Zhan Yi arrives, we won't be able to explain to him!"
Xie Jianshu's eyes were red with grievance. How could he not hope to find Zhan Xuan? However, he searched every corner but couldn't find him.
He said in a trembling voice: "If anything happens to Zhan Xuan, I will never let you go!"
After saying these harsh words, he turned around and left quickly.
Looking at his back, Xiao Zhuo's heart was pounding wildly.
He looked at the military advisor standing next to him and said, "Tell me, does Marquis Zhan Yi think the same? Will he also doubt me?"
The military advisor's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xiao Zhuo laughed bitterly at himself again: "My term as a general is coming to an end. Ever since these little ancestors came to my Northwest Army Camp, I should have worshipped them all!"
The military advisor quickly said: "General, this camp is full of your men. If you give an order!"
Before he could finish, Xiao Zhuo interrupted him harshly, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? I, Xiao Zhuo, would never betray the imperial court!"
The military advisor advised in a panic, "General, I didn't ask you to betray the court. If Marquis Zhan Yi really resents you and wants to take away your military power, you can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Xiao Zhuo's heart suddenly started beating wildly. Should he resist?
He served as the commander-in-chief in the Northwest Military Camp for many years, and even if he had no merits, he had worked hard.
Zhan Yan cannot erase everything he has just because of his son’s disappearance. He refuses to accept this!
After thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Pass the order down. Do not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary!"
The military advisor nodded quickly and turned to go out to make arrangements.
Xiao Zhuo fell into the chair and murmured softly: "Zhan Yan, you forced me to do this!"
In the middle of the night, Zhan Yan and his wife arrived at the Northwest Military Camp.
Xiao Zhuo quickly led his men out to greet him. He bowed respectfully and said, "General Xiao Zhuo, I pay my respects to Marquis Zhan Yi!"
Zhan Yan sat on his horse and looked at him: "Where did my son disappear?"
Xiao Zhuo replied in a trembling voice, "It's on a cliff not far from the Wenguang Pagoda. Right now, Prince Xie is leading people to continue the search!"
Lin Yiwan spoke first; "Ah Yan, I'm going to meet up with Xie Xiaoshu, you can bring people over later!"
"Okay!" Zhan Yan agreed in a deep voice.
Lin Yiwan rode away on her horse, never once looking at Xiao Zhuo.
How could Xiao Zhuo not see that the Marquis's wife was blaming him?
He spoke with guilt, "Marquis Zhan Yi, it was indeed my negligence. I didn't expect the barbarians would send so many people to rescue Shi Qian. If I had sent troops to protect them earlier, Master Xuan wouldn't have disappeared!"
There was a chill in Zhan Yan's eyes. He had placed a lot of secret guards around Zhan Xuan before, but now they were all gone. It was enough to show that they must have all met with an accident.
Those people are extremely powerful in combat. To kill them, one must have guards who are several times more powerful than them.
With so many people launching a sneak attack, Xiao Zhuo didn't hear a single sound?
Who would believe it?
Unless, he was deliberately deceived.
Thinking of this, he said in a cold voice: "Xiao Zhuo, I just want to ask you one question: what were you doing when the hostage Shi Qian was rescued that night?"
A trace of panic flashed across Xiao Zhuo's face. He stammered, "I slept a lot. Yes, I was woken up just before dawn!"
Zhan Yan shouted angrily: "Tell the truth!"
Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Zhuo's back, and the panic in his eyes flashed away.
