Chapter 2590 Two Questions

Gu Xin had almost finished eating by now. She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and asked, "General Mu, I have two questions about your statement. One is what you said. When the prince consort was attacked and fled home, he fell into a coma without saying where he was. You went to look for him, and one of you looked for him by the river. How is that person now?"

General Mu was stunned, then said with a serious expression and some sadness, "He is dead."

Gu Xin raised her eyebrows and asked again, "How did he die? When fighting pirates? Was he sick? Died suddenly? Or was it an accident?"

General Mu: "He was sick. He is my best brother. We are from the same place and grew up together. A few years ago, he had an incurable disease and no medicine could cure him. The old general was kind and asked people to send him a lot of precious medicinal herbs to keep him alive, but he was not saved in the end."

Lord Jiang said in surprise, "General Mu, is the old general so good? Not only does he care about his subordinates at the bottom, but he also gives him precious medicinal herbs?"

Lord Jiang's eyes were a little strange after he said this.

When he spoke, it was a subconscious reaction in his heart, thinking that it was not right. A few years ago, General Mu could only be the accompanying guard beside the major general. He certainly knew the record of General Mu's promotion, which was for his meritorious service in fighting pirates.

He was General Mu's brother at that time, which means that the little guard captain who died could not have a higher position than General Mu at that time.

There are so many people with such a position among the 100,000 soldiers in Nanlin.

The old general is the highest position in the general's mansion. He may not be surprised to know this, but it is impossible to say that he takes it so seriously and gives a lot of precious medicinal materials.

It's not that the old general is reluctant to give it up, it's not right, but if they are all like this, then does the old general have so many things to take out?

So, Lord Jiang was definitely surprised.

After being surprised, he thought deeply, then this matter is not right.

This is not giving precious medicinal materials to keep people alive, this is directly giving drugs to kill people!

If you think about it in the worst way, maybe this incurable disease is caused by the people above!

The more Lord Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple. Combined with what General Mu said just now, Lord Jiang felt that their Nanlin royal family had raised a fierce tiger for so many years!

Gu Xin asked again: "The second question is, as the accompanying guards of the Grand Prince Consort, I believe that you must have been very alert when you followed him into the royal city. He did not go through the main gate, but climbed over the wall to leave. Did you really not hear any movement? Then you, the head of the guards at that time, were somewhat derelict in your duty."

General Mu pursed his lips tightly. He thought so about this question at the beginning and felt that he was derelict in his duty.

To be honest, his boxing skills were not better than those of the major general, but they were definitely not worse than those of the major general.

At that time, he lived not far from where the major general lived, and he couldn't figure out why he didn't hear any movement.

At first, he suspected that it was because he arrived in the royal city and was alert at first, but then he relaxed his guard after the peaceful life, so he didn't notice the situation that night.

It was also after that that his vigilance increased.

But now that Gu Xin asked him this question, he couldn't help but think of something else. That night when he went to bed, the smell of sandalwood in the room was different from before. He asked the maid about it at that time, and the maid said that it was replaced with mosquito repellent incense.
