Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 587 Still can’t find it

He slapped his hand on the low table. The water in the cup swayed, and half of it flowed out along the rim of the cup. The shock caused the spy's head to lower even lower.

"Zhen Ruyan is such a loser!"

Such an important task was entrusted to him, but Zhou Jun discovered it quietly. This was on the eve of the upcoming action!

Ma Jing was angry, but the anger still lingered in his chest, making him dizzy and causing blood to surge. It took him a long time to calm down.

Li Shize saw that the situation was not good and said quickly, "General, don't make yourself angry. The most urgent thing is to arrange countermeasures as soon as possible."

The black powder explosion on the mountain was considered ruined. Zongbei had already sent people to search the mountain. They were far away from the mountain and the large troops could not enter, so they had to abandon it.

"How can I not be angry!" Ma Jing said loudly, "Such an important and ingenious step, just a short step away from seizing the Zhou camp with the minimum number of troops, and then conquering the White Bear Pass, how can I not be angry!"

It didn't matter that some people died. What mattered was that all the hard work for so long was in vain. How could he explain it to his superiors?

The rumors that have been circulating in the market these days must have spread to the palace, and the people above will definitely doubt him. At this critical moment, something happened to Zhen Ruyan again, and those old people in the court must not Read the previous book?
Li Shize half knelt, clasped his fists and said, "General, calm down. I heard from the secret whistle who came back to report that someone else was trapped inside, and he must be a big shot, otherwise Xiao Rongxi's personal guards would not linger outside the cave for a long time. "

"Ha," Ma Jing snorted, "What kind of big shot? If it were the Emperor of Zhou himself, then the collapse of the mountain would not be in vain."

"Report——" Another spy came back.

Ma Jing stared at him and asked impatiently, "Have you found out who is buried inside?"

"Back to the general, after investigation, it should be the concubine Li."

Xiao Rongxi personally took the lead in searching the mountain. Zong Bei and other generals came out in full force. Except for Wang Chengmian, no one was absent.

Who else but her could use such a formation?

"what?!"

Ma Jing's voice suddenly rose and he glared angrily, "It's her again."

Li Shize was stunned, "General, what do you mean?"

"This person always does things that I don't expect. Besides, I'm afraid she has something to do with Mingyue Pavilion."

Previously, people were sent to find out who was intending to spread the news about his close relationship with the prince. They checked over and over again, and finally found Mingyue Pavilion.

In his impression, Mingyue Pavilion never cared about these things. They were openly hostile to him in the Liang Kingdom. What good would it do to Mingyue Pavilion to overthrow him?
Although the main hall of Mingyue Pavilion is located in the capital, it has never been heard of having any connection with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Shize: "Why is Mingyue Pavilion involved again?"

"I didn't find any definite evidence. I only heard a rumor by chance that Li Bin and Li Song of Mingyue Pavilion had conspired. It would make sense if she asked Mingyue Pavilion for help through Li Song."

Otherwise, he really couldn't think of any other reason for Mingyue Pavilion to take the initiative to get involved.

Li Shize sighed, "Regardless of what the relationship between her and Mingyue Pavilion is, these rumors are rampant now, and there is something going on with Lord Zhen, and my subordinates are worried that the court may..."

Ma Jing smiled and said, "Maybe someone else will be sent over to take my place, right?"

Li Shi said nothing.

"Your worries are true," Ma Jing said, "However, the gunpowder has been destroyed and we have no way out. Postponing the attack is just a waste of time. How about annihilating them in one fell swoop before they can react. Please inform me." , let each battalion prepare and set off on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow."

"Yes."

Just as Li Shize responded, there were several sets of footsteps outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain was opened, and a tall, round-shouldered man walked in, his body stained by the travel dust.

"Wait." He stopped Li Shize, then looked at Ma Jing and said, "General Ma doesn't have to worry about the march. His Majesty sent me to come here quickly because he felt that General Ma has been busy lately. , I need to rest for a while, let me temporarily take over the affairs in your hands." Ma Jing clasped his hands behind his back and twitched his lips, "When will it be the turn of a person who only knows how to talk about border defense? "

Fang Congkun smiled nonchalantly, "I know that General Ma is experienced and looks down on me. But who has allowed General Ma to take over for a long time without seeing any results? Now that Black Gunpowder has been destroyed, many plans are in vain, and His Majesty is also anxious."

He paused and took a closer look at Ma Jing's face that gradually turned green, feeling quite proud in his heart.

"If General Ma has nothing to do, please leave the commander's camp and go down to rest. I have to study carefully how to use the troops."

Ma Jing's eyes widened, "Now is the time when the Zhou army's attention has been distracted. It is estimated that our troops outnumber the opponent by more than 20,000. We have sufficient food, grass, weapons, etc., and our soldiers are highly motivated. We should start as soon as possible." Launch an attack."

Fang Congkun extended his hand to see the guest off, "I am the coach now. General Ma, please invite me."

"Humph!"

Ma Jing snorted loudly and left angrily.

Fang Congkun looked at his back and took a sip, "What the hell! You still dare to talk to me like this now, wait until you get punished by His Majesty when you go back!"

Knowing that His Majesty is increasingly wary of the Prince, he still frequently interacts with the Prince. What good outcome could there be?

……

Most of the night passed, and many new stones were unearthed around the mountain, but for such a huge mountain, there were still too few.

The person he was looking for was still missing, and only a bit of fabric from Liang Jun's clothes was found.

Xiao Rongxi squatted down, holding mottled stones in his hands, with traces of slush and moss on his fingertips.

His clothes were scratched by sharp stones as he walked back and forth, and his face looked slightly pale.

He stared at the ruins in front of him, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Before nature, manpower was too small.

Can't find it.

Still can't find it.

He was poisoned before, which made Nan Zhen worried; now she is buried deep under the mountain without any warning. Is she punishing him the way she did before?

Ah Zhen......

Xiao Rongxi's eyes were red, and he pinched the stone hard with his fingers. There was blood sticking out from the fingertips, mixed with the slush and moss, and dyed dark red.

Zong Bei was also covered in mud. He looked at the squatting emperor and sighed, "Your Majesty..."

"You don't need to persuade me, I understand the truth."

In such a disaster, the chance of survival is too small.

He just didn't want to believe it.

He won't give up until he sees the body.

Xiao Rongxi stared and forced back tears. When he stood up, only those nearby could see his red eyes.

"How is the situation over there with Liang Jun?"

Zong Bei: "Back to Your Majesty, Liang Jun must have known what happened here. The general originally thought that the gunpowder was exposed and Liang Jun attacked at night. Unexpectedly, Fang Congkun took Ma Jing's position last night. It is reported that he is still reorganizing at this time."

Xiao Rongxi twitched his lips, "It really suits Master Liang's suspicious temperament."
