Chapter 1119 If Zhao Chen Is Really Still Alive
"Your Majesty, the minister has brought us here!" As soon as night fell, Niu Jinda brought General Wang from the transport team to the outside of the emperor's camp.
Although Niu Jinda was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, it was still easy to deal with a young general who had never led troops in a battle.
"Bring him in!" the emperor's voice came from the tent.
General Wang's face looked ashen at this moment.
Today, Niu Jinda led a group of cavalry to capture him, and the accompanying guards did not even dare to fart.
He was brought here, and when he heard that the person in the tent in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor, he immediately understood why he was brought here.
"Go in!" Niu Jinda kicked General Wang on the butt.
General Wang stumbled and climbed into the tent using his hands and feet.
Entering the camp, General Wang did not dare to raise his head, but from the pairs of military boots around him, he knew that there were many people standing in the camp at this moment.
"Raise your head!" the emperor's voice sounded.
General Wang shuddered and raised his head cautiously, and saw the emperor staring at him expressionlessly in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the general doesn't know anything. The general just received the order from His Highness the Crown Prince and came to replace the previous general and continue to escort the transport team to the front line!" Before the emperor could ask questions, General Wang had already rushed to avenge himself.
"Oh?" The emperor exclaimed, "What about the generals who escorted us earlier?"
"He He……"
"Li Tai asked you to kill him, right?" The emperor's voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty, the general...the general is acting under orders, the general...the general has not seen General Zhao at all."
"The general just killed the people who assassinated General Zhao. The general had no choice. The general did not dare to disobey the prince's order." General Wang cried.
At this moment, he could already feel the cold atmosphere in the camp.
The people standing around him were like cold statues, staring at him fiercely.
If looks could kill, he felt that he would have already
Cut to pieces by a thousand swords.
"That's very good. It's all the prince's orders." The emperor nodded, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face.
"Has anything been left in Zhao Chen's camp?" the emperor and General Wang asked.
"No, I just heard them say that after Zhao Chen drank alcohol that day, he only left a blood-stained thin quilt in the tent, and there was no other disturbance in the tent."
"What about the cliff?"
"I heard that Zhao Chen fell off the cliff?" The emperor asked again, with a cold look on his face.
"No, they made up the cliff. They said they fell off the cliff because they didn't find General Zhao's body and were worried that they wouldn't be able to deliver the goods. They thought that General Zhao had taken the poisonous wine laced with Duachangsan, so it was naturally impossible. Stay alive."
"There happens to be a cliff nearby, so I can communicate with the people behind the scenes."
"After taking over the transportation team, the general asked the laborers in the transportation team. Some people said that he was working on the edge of the cliff that day, and no one went there."
"There is no such thing as falling off a cliff."
"Your Majesty, the general is really innocent, the general has done nothing!" General Wang shouted there again.
Niu Jinda waved his hand, and someone took him out of the tent.
"Your Majesty, if what this man said is true, then Zhao Chen should be fine."
"I just don't know where he went!" Xu Shiji said to the emperor, with a glimmer of hope in his heart at this moment.
If Zhao Chen is fine, with his ability, he can definitely save the emperor.
The emperor is fine. No matter how hard Li Tai jumps, he can't escape from the emperor's palm.
"Yes, since Zhao Chen left the camp early, he must have tried to find a way to treat him."
"They poisoned
, seeing that Zhao Chen was not there, he must have been looking everywhere. "
"There is no trace of Zhao Chen, so it must be okay!" Niu Jinda also nodded.
He always believed that Zhao Chen was fine.
But I couldn't find any evidence to convince myself.
General Wang's words just now made Niu Jinda feel a lot more comfortable.
Zhao Chen didn't fall into the cliff, and there was no trace nearby, which at least meant that he was probably still alive.
With the poison of Duangchang Powder, if he was really poisoned to death, he would definitely not be able to survive for a quarter of an hour.
It was raining again that day, how far could Zhao Chen go?
"I have a suspicion, that is, Zhao Chen is fine, and he has never gone far. He is in the transportation team!" The emperor suddenly said to everyone.
"In the transport team? How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
"There are nearly two thousand people in the transportation team. Who would have thought that Zhao Chen has been hiding among them?"
"That's right. There are so many people coming from all over the place. Who can know who?"
"Your Majesty, I think it is very possible. Hiding in the transport team can avoid being plotted again."
"Your Majesty, I'm going to look for him in the transportation team right now. They are resting fifty miles away. If Zhao Chen is really still alive, I will definitely bring him to your Majesty!" After Niu Jinda finished speaking to the emperor, he turned around and left the camp.
Although it is just everyone's guess, Niu Jinda believes that Zhao Chen will never die like that!
The transport team is their last hope!
Otherwise, where should they go to find Zhao Chen?
"Ahem, everyone should go back and rest. We will know tomorrow whether Zhao Chen can be found!" the emperor said to everyone, his face a little dark.
Xu Shiji waved to everyone and looked at the emperor worriedly.
The emperor's situation was much worse than before.
>
At this moment, his face was dark and terrifying.
"Your Majesty, you will be fine. Zhao Chen doesn't know that your Majesty has been poisoned now, otherwise he would definitely come over." Xu Shiji comforted the emperor.
The transport team had no information along the way and had no idea that something had happened to the emperor.
If Zhao Chen was alive, it would be normal not to know.
But if he sees the transportation team tomorrow and finds Zhao Chen in the transportation team, the emperor will definitely be fine!
"I hope that's the case too. You should go back and rest. Yeon Gaesumun's pursuers are still behind you. You should also pay more attention to Qin Qiong."
"Don't let them fight alone!" The emperor waved his hand and said to Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji nodded and slowly exited the camp.
…
"This Qin Qiong is really capable. With three thousand cavalry and several thousand infantry, our army's pursuit is frequently blocked."
"If this continues, I'm afraid they will get further and further away from their large army." Yeon Gaesumun was a little irritated.
I thought about chasing after Tang Jun and killing him, which would frighten Tang Jun.
The morale of the army can also collapse faster.
But who would have thought that Qin Qiong led the Tang army to cut off the rear, which greatly slowed down the attack speed of his hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops.
From time to time, the cavalry would circle behind and make a surprise attack, while the infantry would seduce them in front, followed by another sneak attack.
Although they killed many Tang Army soldiers, their pursuit of the Tang Army's large forces was also slowed down.
If this continues, by the time they catch up to the Tang Army, the Tang Army will have already made preparations for defense in Cangzhou.
At that time, they would definitely not be able to take Cangzhou at once, and they had not taken the towns outside Cangzhou into their own hands.
It's completely empty.
"Commander, send an army to surround Qin Qiong first. Let's see if Li Shimin sends anyone to rescue him." Huizhen was on the side, talking to Yuan Gaisu Wenjian about his thoughts.
