Chapter 74: You Can't Die Without Evidence

"General, found it!"

The soldier presented the broken grass leaves in his hand to Gu Xun.

Although it looks a bit fragmented, if someone is familiar with this grass, he will be able to tell what it is at a glance.

"General, this is three nine-leaf clover!"

"If a horse eats this grass, it will go into heat. It's obvious that they want to harm the young general!"

[You’re right, someone wants to harm my second brother! ]

When the groom heard this, he quickly walked over and knelt down.

"General, when I was feeding him, I clearly didn't feed him this grass!"

Beside Gu Xun, there was a man named Zhang Hu who was a little impatient at this moment. "The broken leaves of the grass are right here. What can you quibble about?"

The groom didn't know how to excuse himself and could only keep talking.

"I really don't know where this grass came from. General, please understand me. General, please understand me. I don't have it. I don't have it!"

"Come here, take him away and investigate this matter thoroughly!" Gu Xun gave an order and someone came forward to take the groom and related personnel away.

"It's really abominable that someone actually wants to harm the young general!" Zhang Hu looked indignant, as if he wanted to stand up for Gu Changce.

"Young General, are you feeling unwell?" Zhang Hu continued to step forward and show concern for Gu Changce.

"No problem, thank you for your concern, Captain Zhang."

[It should be this person! I remember he pretended to be innocent and was very worried about the second brother, but in fact he was the one who did it! ]

Hearing this, Gu Xun was shocked.

Although Zhang Hu did not follow him at the beginning, he had been accompanying him in leading troops to fight for many years.

I never thought that he would want to harm his own son!

[Dad, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. The groom is innocent. Zhang Hu even wanted to kill him and make him commit suicide out of fear of the crime!]

[So, Daddy, you must protect the groom, as long as he is alive! After all, the person who actually fed the horse the three-branch nine-leaf grass will be found soon. Once we find her, we can expose Zhang Hu's evil deeds! ]

Hearing this, Gu Xun handed Gu Jiangmeng in his arms to Gu Changce and decided to handle the matter himself.

Watching Gu Xun leave, Gu Changce still wanted to call Gu Xun back, after all, the matter of Li Xiangneng withholding military pay and rations had not been dealt with yet!

But my younger sister is still here, and I can’t let her hear it. Forget it, I’ll tell Dad after I return to the General’s Mansion today.

It doesn’t matter whether Dad believes it or not, but such a big thing cannot be ignored.

Gu Xun specifically found his confidant and ordered him to ensure the safety of the groom.

After returning, Gu Changce continued to demonstrate other aspects of his martial arts in front of everyone.

Whether it is bow and arrow, sword, spear, long knife, etc., Gu Changce is at ease.

All the soldiers who saw this couldn't help but praise Gu Changce in their hearts.

Although the general's second son looked like he only knew some fancy moves, he could wield these weapons effortlessly.

As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance!

Yes, how could the general’s son be bad!

In order to solve these problems, Gu Xun decided to have lunch in the barracks.

Since Gu Jiangmeng said that Zhou Shiwu withheld military pay and rations, he would surely reveal his tracks in the three meals a day.

"Changce, why don't you take Jiang Meng back first."

Gu Xun thought that Gu Jiangmeng must be missing Ye Shu after being away from home for so long. Besides, he was worried that Gu Jiangmeng would not be able to eat well in the barracks, after all, there was not much milk in the water bag.

Although Gu Changce hesitated, he still responded, "Okay, Dad."

"Then I'll take Jiang Meng back first." After saying that, Gu Changce stood up holding Gu Jiang Meng and prepared to leave. [Ahhhh, no, I don't want to go back. There are two bad guys that haven't been dealt with yet, I want to stay here! ]

Gu Jiangmeng burst into tears, trying to express her refusal.

When they heard Gu Jiangmeng crying, they both became flustered.

Gu Changce hurriedly rocked Gu Jiangmeng gently in his arms and spoke in a coaxing tone.

"Jiang Meng, dear, don't you want to go back?"

Hearing this, Gu Jiangmeng's crying stopped abruptly.

"Okay, okay, Changce, you don't take Jiang Meng back. You two stay here." Gu Xun said this lovingly.

A smile instantly appeared on Gu Jiangmeng's little face. Compared with the tears and snot on her face, it seemed as if it was not Gu Jiangmeng who was crying just now.

Gu Changce smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Jiangmeng's face. "Look at you, you are so clever. You stopped crying as soon as you heard that you were not going back."

【Hmph~】

Gu Jiangmeng pouted and looked at Gu Changce fiercely.

----

It was almost time for lunch, and Gu Xun decided to go to the kitchen to check it out.

Just like this, Gu Changce followed Gu Xun holding Gu Jiangmeng.

The kitchen looks very big, and the pots inside are all large pots. After all, there are quite a lot of people in the barracks.

When the cook saw Gu Xun coming, he hurried out to Gu Xun and bowed to him.

"See General!"

"Please stand up quickly. You are the backbone of our barracks. You are responsible for the food of the soldiers. Just do your job well and don't worry about me."

Hearing this, the cooks were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The General Gu Xun in front of him is the great general of Anlin Kingdom. Not only is he considerate to his subordinates, but he also praises him. It's worth it!

The happier the cooks were, the harder they worked and the faster they worked.

In the army, dry rations are often the main food, either flatbread or millet porridge, accompanied by some vegetables.

Gu Xun started chatting, "Can everyone eat the food you cooked?"

"Then..." One of the cooks was about to speak when another cook walked up to Gu Xun with a smile.

"In reply to the general, everyone can eat their fill. There is no limit to the amount of pancakes, vegetables and porridge. You can eat as much as you want. Of course, one requirement is that you don't eat too much, otherwise it will delay training."

After hearing this, the other generals beside Gu Xun naturally thought that this mess was quite good.

But after hearing this, Gu Xun and Gu Changce were doubtful in their hearts.

Is it really unlimited? Jiang Mengke said that Zhou Shiwu was withholding military pay and food, so this must be a lie.

But Gu Xun naturally said nothing on the surface, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, and replied with a smile, "That's good, the most important thing is that the soldiers eat and drink well!"

Gu Xun took a few people to check out other places, and finally returned to the main tent.

Soon, soldiers brought the food.

The food looks quite sumptuous, and is not inferior to the food in small restaurants.

Gu Xun frowned. When he went to inspect just now, the dishes were not so rich. Could it be that they cooked a special meal for him?
It would be fine if there were one or two more dishes, but this is too many and does not meet Gu Xun's requirements.

"Changce, go take a look at what the other ordinary soldiers are eating. It's too extravagant and wasteful to give us some!"

[Okay, okay, let’s go take a look, maybe we’ll find something unexpected! ]
