Chapter 654: Chop Up That Wicked Bastard and Feed Him to the Dogs!
The two of them both thought of this problem, then exchanged a glance.
"Brother Zhen, could it be that there really is a traitor in our army?"
Chang Zhen shook his head, "It’s hard to say, hard to determine."
After a pause, he looked at Cao Anxing, "Anxing, if... I mean if, they really want to use us to threaten Bo Ye and the others, we... might as well just..."
"Don’t say such foolish things, we will definitely get out! We of the military family can only die on the battlefield, there’s no such thing as taking one’s own life!"
Cao Anxing looked agitated, Chang Zhen said, "But aren’t we on the battlefield right now?"
Instantly, the two of them fell silent.
"Let’s act according to the situation!"
After discussing for a long time, they could only come up with this conclusion.
...
Dazhou Military Camp.
Long Yue, under the pretext of wanting to see Cousin Cao Anxing, left the tent with Chang Yao.
This person, if he doesn’t leave on his own, is he planning to stay here indefinitely?
Long Yue’s eyes were sharp, how could she not see his intentions?
But, hehe... her heart was not even accessible to her master, what was he thinking?
"Cousin Anxing?"
Long Yue came to his tent but saw no one.
"Strange, where did he go?"
"Hey, probably went to hang out with those from the Chang Family! That kid never admits defeat since he was young, probably comparing skills with them, forget about it!"
Cao Yin swaggered over; he knew this grandson too well. With just a lift of that little butt, he knew what he was up to!
"But grandpa, at this hour, Cousin Anxing is always resting in his tent. He has to rest for half an hour in the afternoon, no exceptions!"
Uh, this...
Cao Yin was taken aback, that’s right, how could he overlook this?
"Maybe he got carried away playing with those folks?" Saying this, he shook his head vigorously, "Shouldn’t be, that kid values time greatly."
"Yes, grandpa, I think it’s better to find him, don’t let anyone lead him astray!"
"Alright!"
As soon as Cao Yin finished speaking, over on the other side, an old general with all-white hair came clanging over with a long knife.
"Cao Yin, my old buddy, where’s my little Zhen? Is he together with your Anxing?"
The only one who could call Cao Yin old buddy was the old general from the Chang family.
Long Yue quickly saluted him, "Greetings, General Chang!"
Chang Baitu had been transferred back from the border and hadn’t met Long Yue before, naturally he didn’t recognize her. Moreover, General Chang was a pure military man and rarely involved himself in the twists and turns of Shengjing City.
"This young girl is not bad!"
He nodded slightly to Long Yue, praising her, and then inquired about Cao Anxing’s whereabouts.
"General, we are also looking for Cousin Anxing. Wasn’t he at Young General Chang’s earlier?"
Chang Baitu was stupefied and shook his head, "No, earlier the two of them were playing with knives together. Right now, I planned to find them to join in on setting up defenses, but they aren’t here, does that not make one anxious? Two little brats, huh!"
Chang Baitu grumbled and cursed, while everyone around just stood awkwardly.
There’s no alternative, being reprimanded by this old general was considered a blessing.
Cao Yin, feeling embarrassed, joined in cursing that Anxing for being unworthy.
"Grandpa, Cousin Anxing wouldn’t be such a person, could it be..."
Just as the thought arose, Long Yue quickly extinguished it.
It couldn’t be, definitely not!
This place was the Dazhou military camp, what could happen to them?
Actually, Cao Yin also felt there was a possibility but extinguished it immediately.
However...
"Report—"
A soldier hurriedly rushed over, falling to one knee, "Generals, something bad has happened. There’s someone from the enemy army challenging us, saying, saying..."
Cao Yin was already annoyed with his grandson for embarrassing him in front of the elder, so seeing the soldier stammering, his anger flared up.
He cursed, "Quickly say what you have to say, spit it out fast, stammering, are you a coward?"
Uh!
Long Yue felt a wave of embarrassment; grandpa was just like this, when his temper flared up, he dared to say anything. Earlier, when Luo Xie called him "Old Fool Cao", it was for a reason.
The soldier, startled by the shouting, became even more flustered and stammered, "General Cao, the enemy brought two hostages, and they are challenging us to immediately open the gate, otherwise they will slice the hostages one blade at a time!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present froze for a moment.
Then, various curses erupted.
"Damn it, how did those two little brats end up in enemy hands?"
"Maybe not, go check?"
"Bullshit, those two little brats were nowhere to be found; they definitely ended up in enemy hands. Damn it, I’ll beat them to death when they return!"
"..."
After Cao Yin and Chang Baitu finished cursing, they immediately took people to the city wall.
Long Yue, in a daze for a while, also turned around, went to her tent, took a long knife, and left.
Chang Yao followed her, seeing her with a large knife, hurried to stop her, "Yue’er, where are you going?"
"What else to do? Naturally, to kill all those bastards! They dared to capture our people and then come to threaten us? It’s simply shameless, despicable, and vile!"
Long Yue gnashed her teeth, firmly believing that Cao Anxing wouldn’t have left the camp on his own, heading to the enemy side. This meant the enemy army sneakily came in and took the two away.
She didn’t know how the enemy managed to take them away unnoticed, but one thing was certain, the person who came up with this idea was definitely despicable!
She wanted to chop up that despicable person and feed him to the dogs!
"Yue’er, you can’t go! It’s too dangerous!"
Chang Yao hurried to catch up and stop Long Yue.
Going to the front line was truly dangerous!
Long Yue looked at him, enunciating each word, "That’s my cousin, I have only a few relatives in this world, I can’t just watch them get into trouble!"
"But what can you do if you go now?"
Long Yue paused.
That’s right, what could she do if she went now?
But after just a moment of hesitation, she moved forward again.
"I’ll go and see!"
Chang Yao knew he couldn’t stop her. She was an obstinate woman, and once she decided on something, not even ten bulls could pull her back. He could only follow her all the way, and if there was real danger, he might help shield her a bit?
Grandfather Cao Yin and the old General Chang Baitu had already reached the city wall, surrounded by soldiers on defense, along with crossbow stocks, catapults, kerosene, and other defensive equipment.
If the enemy forcefully attacked, there would truly be heavy casualties.
So, using despicable methods of coercion by capturing hostages?
Heh, despicable scoundrels!
Long Yue sneered inside, her disdain for the person who came up with the idea reached its peak. She approached the city wall in the sunset.
There were people all around, and she had to maneuver through several soldiers to reach Cao Yin’s side.
Previously, Cao Yin was always at the forefront of the city wall, but this time, with Chang Baitu present, he retreated a bit in deference as the junior.
As a result, Long Yue stood even further back, and given her shorter stature compared to the soldiers, she was almost completely obscured.
"Grandpa!"
Long Yue stepped forward.
Cao Yin frowned, a bit agitated, "Girl, what are you doing here? It’s dangerous, quickly go back!"
"I’m just here to take a look."
Long Yue said and looked downwards.
The enemy troops were several hundred meters away, a distance already beyond their shooting range, with two men bound tightly placed at the forefront. If they fired arrows, it would be them who bore the brunt.
These two were exactly Cao Anxing and Chang Zhen.
Two unlucky guys!
