Chapter 897
The news of Tang Jinghong's successful assassination spread quickly in the barracks, and soon everyone knew about it, and the atmosphere became chilled for a while.

"The general was really assassinated?"

"Not only was he assassinated, but he was also in critical condition. Several military doctors were helping him at the same time."

"The assassin who killed a thousand swords, is he so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"

"Since he is an assassin, don't ask him to have any sense of right and wrong."

"Don't talk about him, do your job well, even if the general is stabbed, the barracks can't be messed up."

"you're right!"

There are many such remarks in the military camp, but there are also some who hold a pessimistic attitude.

"If something happens to the general, our trip to Dongling may end early."

"Shut up, you are not afraid of being beheaded if you say this?"

"Yes, yes, I lost my sense of proportion, damn it!"

Amidst everyone's discussion, Qi Kaiming led a group of soldiers to ambush around the barracks, waiting for the opportunity to intercept the pigeons and catch the soldiers who sneaked out of the barracks.

"Hoo--" An arrow flew into the sky and shot down a carrier pigeon.

The soldiers came forward to pick up the carrier pigeon, and handed the letter to Qi Kaiming, "Tang Jinghong is in danger, we can make the next deployment."

After Qi Kaiming looked at it, he looked into the distance and thought for a while, "Continue to intercept."

Then people sent the paper back to the barracks, compared the notes, and caught the sender.

"Yes."

After a while, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Qi Kaiming, who was hiding in the dark, waved to the people behind him. The four stepped forward and surrounded each other, and Qi Kaiming passed last.

This is a soldier in charge of the arsenal. Seeing Qi Kaiming, he was startled, then pretended to be calm, and immediately saluted, "General Zhongwu."

Qi Kaiming looked at the soldier, "Where are you going?"

The soldier paused, "General Zhongwu, I didn't go anywhere, I just wanted to make it easier."

Surrounded by woods, convenience is justified.

Qi Kaiming looked at the soldier, frowned, and asked, "Do you have any family or friends?"

The soldier lowered his head slightly.

Suddenly, a clear and cold voice came from behind, "There is another one here."

As soon as Qi Kaiming and the others turned their heads, they saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth standing not far behind her. There was a person under her feet. Qi Kaiming hurried forward, "Miss Chu."

Chu Qingzhi moved her foot away, kicked him lightly, and kicked him into the tree trunk, "How is Jing Hong?"

Qi Kaiming looked left and right, at the soldier on the left, and at the man trapped in the tree trunk on the right, hinting, "The general was assassinated."

Chu Qingzhi understood, "Don't go back to the barracks for now, I will use your identity."

Qi Kaiming replied, "Yes."

After parting, in a deserted place, Chu Qingzhi's body flashed with inspiration, and she changed into Qi Kaiming's appearance, looked down, and walked towards the barracks.

Straight into the main tent, at this time Tang Jinghong had been "rescued" and was sitting on a chair reading official documents.

Chu Qingzhi changed back to her own appearance and walked towards Tang Jinghong, "Jinghong."

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Jinghong was surprised. He raised his head slowly, and Chu Qingzhi's white face came into view. He was overjoyed, and stepped forward to hug Chu Qingzhi, "I didn't expect you to come back."

Chu Qingzhi hugged Tang Jinghong back, she was worried about her, and also missed him, "I heard that you were assassinated and seriously injured, don't worry come back and have a look."

Tang Jinghong was afraid that Chu Qingzhi would be worried, so he hurriedly said, "This is a plan, to lure out the secret workers in the barracks without getting hurt."

"I already know." Chu Qingzhi closed her eyes, enjoying the joy of being reunited after a long absence, "Jing Hong, I'll go and catch the person who set the fire, deal with this matter before going to Chen'an Country."

Tang Jinghong said, "You can decide, I will listen to you."

The two chatted for a while, Chu Qingzhi changed back to Qi Kaiming's appearance, left the main tent, and walked to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.

The location of the fire was surrounded by a line. The truth is unknown now, and no one else is allowed to approach. Currently, only a few officials who are responsible for such things are here to check.

"General Zhongwu!"

"General Zhongwu!"

"Qi Kaiming" nodded to the two guards and walked into the circle, "What did the adults find out?"

When several officials heard the voice, they stood in a row and handed their investigation results to "Qi Kaiming".

"Qi Kaiming" browsed through the survey results and came to several conclusions.

The fire burned the medicinal materials in the military camp. The medicinal materials are usually plantable herbs and are not precious, but now they are life-saving things. Situation, there is no way to save it.

Burning medicinal materials is ignited with kerosene, it can be seen that the other party did it deliberately.

The two warehouses burned almost at the same time, which shows that there are at least two arsonists.

"Qi Kaiming" asked, "My lords, in the barracks, who can bring things like kerosene in without arousing anyone's suspicion?"

Master Xu stroked his beard and said, "Only the people in the kitchen."

"What do military camps usually do with kerosene?"

"When cooking, light a fire, add some kerosene to ignite it quickly; light a brazier to make a torch at night; also, if you want to burn something quickly, you can also pour kerosene."

"Qi Kaiming" was silent for a moment, "The person who went to check the kitchen."

There are a total of 300 people in the kitchen, some cook, some cook, some prepare firewood, ..., the division of labor is very clear.

The chef stood aside respectfully, "General Zhongwu, I have called everyone in the kitchen."

"Qi Kaiming" looked around, "Is it all here?"

The chef turned his head to look at the soldiers under him, and said, "Assemble urgently, there are quite a lot of people, and I'm not sure if all of them have arrived yet."

"Qi Kaiming" said, "Fifteen people in a row, all lined up according to the queue."

After queuing, I found that there were three missing.

"Qi Kaiming" asked the chef, "Boss, what did the three who didn't come do?"

The chef was also quite puzzled, "I'm busy arranging for people to make lunch, I don't know."

"Qi Kaiming" said, "Give me the list of these three people."

"Yes." After some inquiries, the head cook found out who the three people who did not show up were, and then he found out the roster and gave it to "Qi Kaiming".

"Qi Kaiming" quickly browsed the information of the three people. Very good, they are all from Dongling, and it is probably confirmed that these three people did it. "I want to arrest the three people immediately, whether they are fire prevention people or not, they will be arrested."

"Yes." The head cook clasped his fists in response.

"Qi Kaiming" returned to the main tent, "The arsonist tentatively designated three kitchen soldiers, and now the truth will be revealed as long as they are captured."

However, before his butt was hot, a soldier came back and reported, "General, General Zhongwu, the three kitchen soldiers have been found."

"Let's go and have a look." "Qi Kaiming" followed the soldiers and left the barracks.
