Chapter 29 Strange Fat Man

As if there was a tacit understanding, the troops of Qin and Zhao countries suspended large-scale military mobilizations, and the strangulation between scouts on the vast battlefield became more and more intense.

In the military camp outside the city, Ying Guang returned to the camp after inspecting all parts of the army, took off his helmet, and threw it on the table. In the past few days, there was no major war except for inspection, and he also relaxed a lot. There was no big news about the nails in Yangjin City, and everything was so calm.

Ying Guang was facing the map and saw the curtain rolling up. Xu Sixie hurriedly ran in and said, "Commander, I just received the military order from General Meng to ask the generals of all departments to go to the general's mansion to discuss matters."

"I understand." Ying Guang stood up, picked up his helmet, and ordered: "A Er, go and inform Dian Jun to bring a few personal guards with me. A San, prepare the horse."

On the way to the general's mansion, Ying Guang thought secretly, "Since ancient times, the most taboo thing between the two armies has been in confrontation is to defend to the death. If the soldiers do not fight, they will naturally gradually relax. If the state cannot be adjusted and suddenly enters the battle, it will be quite good to be able to exert 50% of the combat power. Will the general be summoned this time, do you want the soldiers to move?"

Ying Guang was about to make a decision when he suddenly heard Dian Jun shouting next to him: "Old Ying, what are you thinking? You're here." Then he looked up and saw that it wasn't. Not far ahead, Meng Wu's personal soldiers were guarding the gate of the general's mansion. There was a fat man standing next to the stone lion in front of the door, waiting there with a smile on his face.

Ying Guang looked at the fat man strangely for a few glances, turned his head to ask the personal soldiers at the door, "Who is this person? Why are you standing here?"

The personal soldier replied, "This person was a Yi Shang who sent supplies a few days ago. He originally wanted to pay a visit to the general, but unfortunately the general was about to discuss matters, so I asked him to wait next to the doorman. Who knew that he refused to rely on it and insisted on having a breath outside! What a weird person."

Ying Guang thought about it, nodded, ignored it, and stepped into the general's mansion.

The personal soldiers guarding the gate closed the mansion again. When they turned around, they saw that there was someone next to the stone lion. They rubbed their hands and couldn't help but mutter: "This fat man is really a weird person. After so much time, where did the people go."

In fact, the fat man did not go far. There was an inn about two streets from the General's Mansion. Because there were no guests in the inn during the war, the fat man simply booked the entire inn. At this time, more than ten people were squeezed in the inner room, sitting or standing together. In the middle of the circle, it was no one else, but the fat man who had just seen people laughing outside the General's Mansion. But now, there was no smile on his fat round face, and there was a hint of viciousness under his red face. Everyone around him was holding a pitch-black dagger in his hands. On the table by the window, four individual crossbows were neatly placed. These crossbows took great risks and stolen into the city.

A low voice sounded, and the fat man said, "The goal this time has been determined. When this person travels, there will be two personal guards leading the way. A burly guard will be by the target. There are seven or eight cavalrymen behind the palace. My request is that all four individual crossbows gather the targets next to the burly guards. After shooting, I will personally go forward to check their identity. The rest of the people will strangle the remaining personal soldiers with all their strength, and make sure not to leave a living! Do you understand!"

"clear!"

"The ambush is next to the official road a mile outside the city. After a while, everyone left the city one after another, and the crossbow was hidden in the garbage truck. We transport garbage outside the city every day, and the soldiers guarding the city would not check it carefully. In addition, everyone disbanded on the spot after success. If anyone is unlucky to be caught." The fat man paused, glanced around, and then said, "Then let it break yourself! You can still suffer less!"

A killing game against Ying Guang gradually unfolded, and the sky seemed to be silently cooperating. As the clouds became thicker and thicker, a spring snow fell without warning.

It was not until the lights were held that the general's mansion opened with a creaking sound, and the generals and officers from all walks out one after another, still talking about the topic just now.

"General Wang, this time I will keep you guarding the border, which shows that General Meng attaches great importance to you." Ying Guang said to Wang Jian with a smile.

"It's not interesting to guard the border. You can't fight with Zhao. But you can follow General Meng to the front line of Chu. I think it's true that General Meng is good to you!" Wang Jian replied with a smile. He and Ying Guang were not acquainted with each other. With the relationship between Meng and Wang, the two of them naturally became closer. They stood and talked for a while. Then they said goodbye to each other and went back to the army.

After saying goodbye to Wang Jian, Ying Guang was about to get on the horse, A Er suddenly walked over and whispered: "Young Master, I don't feel right."

Ying Guang was stunned and asked, "A Er, what happened."

A Er shook his head and replied, "When I first arrived at the General's Mansion today, there was a fat man next to the stone lion. I wonder if the young master still has any impression."

"There is indeed such a person. At that time, I asked the guards at the door, saying that they were a charity merchant and wanted to pay homage to General Meng." Ying Guang thought about it and replied.

A Er said, "If I were to pay a visit to the general, I should go in now, but the actual situation is that people are missing. When the young master was chatting with General Wang, I asked the guards at the door. You just entered the general's mansion and the fat man disappeared. Moreover, when we first arrived, although the fat man lowered his eyebrows and smiled, the afterglow of his eyes kept staring at you. What worries me the most is that he stood outside facing the cold wind for a long time, but his face remained unchanged. With this skill, he must be an internal master!"

A Er changed his tone and continued, "A master of the internal family has stood in the cold wind for a long time. It is impossible to just look at you. Master, you must be careful."

Ying Guang also became alert and pondered: "When I was at Moling Pass, someone wanted to kill me. If the fat man wanted to target me, then the one who came this time should be the same group as last time. Wang Wei's clue was cut off. A Er, I have to catch a living this time."

"I'm doing my best!"

Ying Guang stopped and said, "You guys wait for me here, I'll go."

As the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the official road outside the city was pitch black, and only the braziers on the top of Xiyang City emitted a dim light. The city gate opened, and a group of people rushed out. In front were two personal guards holding torches to open the way. A tall guard followed closely by one person, while the cavalry behind them unfolded in a scattered formation, faintly protecting the two wings. Everyone whipped their horses quickly, and the sound of horse hooves quickly disappeared into the vast night.

In the bushes next to the official road, as the sound of horse hooves approached, a faint commotion broke out, and murderous intent rose everywhere in the darkness!
