Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 74: Trick (3)
"You!" General Chen was choked with anger, his sinister eyes flashed with a sharp light, Su Yixuan was as arrogant and conceited as the Su family, just because he was younger, he was mocking him, right?Then he will see how capable Su Yixuan is in finding the tribute.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Young General Su to deliver the tribute. If the tribute is not seen before midnight, this general will personally carry out the one hundred army sticks for Young General Su. Let's go!"

With a wave of his sleeve robe, General Chen turned around and strode forward without looking back. The footsteps stepped out because of his anger were particularly heavy in the silent field.

Mu Yutang frowned: General Chen is only forty years old, and it is the time when he is strong and strong. He is strong in martial arts, and Su Yixuan is not pleasing to the eye. When enforcing military laws, he will definitely use his best. Su Yixuan would definitely die if he hit him.

"Yutang!" Mu Yutang stood on the road without trying to hide it, Su Yixuan turned around and saw her, a trace of surprise flashed in his sharp eyes: "What are you doing here?"

"Walk casually." Mu Yutang smiled slightly, and walked towards Su Yixuan naturally: "Cousin Xuan, the tribute you escorted was robbed?"

She and Su Yixuan had an average relationship, but Su Yixuan had helped her once, and she also wanted to help him once, to pay back the favor she owed.

"En!" Su Yixuan nodded, everyone in the army knew about the loss of the tribute, and he was also very anxious, he no longer wanted to hide it: "The lost tribute was sent by Xuanwu Kingdom."

"What did you pay for?" Mu Yutang asked curiously. As far as she knew, military orders were the highest restriction on soldiers in the army. Unless something important happened, they would not be allowed to issue military orders.

"Xuanwu Kingdom is near the sea, and most of the tributes are rare things in the sea. Among them, the most valuable are two foot-high blood corals, a hundred dragon beads, and the dragon bead, the treasure of Xuanwu Kingdom..."

Su Yixuan's voice was shallow, but Mu Yutang listened secretly: "Blood coral is rare in a hundred years, and it's hard to come by. Flood beads are even rarer in the world. One is rich enough. The Xuanwu Kingdom paid tribute to a hundred of them. All the treasures of the town were sent, such a large-scale rare item, it needs to be transported with care, be more careful, no wonder Su Yixuan will issue a military order.

"Cousin Xuan, when did you start delivering tributes?" Xuanwu Kingdom is a long way from the capital of Qinglong Kingdom, and it would take more than a month to go back and forth. She met Su Yixuan on the day of the death of the Su couple. Escorted, but took over halfway.

"Three days ago, in Tong County, five hundred miles away, I handed over soldiers at the border." The usually taciturn little cousin actually cared about important military affairs, and the conversation with him was very speculative, Su Yixuan's eyes flashed involuntarily Surprised, the tribute has been lost, but he doesn't care about her asking for details.

Mu Yutang's beautiful eyes narrowed: "The army discusses collectively, and you will lead someone to meet it?"

"Yes!" Su Yixuan didn't know why she asked such a question, but still nodded.

"Then the previous tributes were also received by you?"

"Not necessarily!" The tribute was robbed, and Su Yixuan had a heavy responsibility. He might be executed at some point by the military law. He is a major general, and he is also an only man. When encountering such an important matter, he looks calm on the surface, but his heart is still very depressed. , someone was talking with him, and what he was talking about was his most frustrating thing, and he knew everything without saying anything.

"The small-scale ones will be met by other generals. This time, Xuanwu Kingdom's tribute is no small matter, so I will lead people there!"

Mu Yutang nodded. Su Yixuan is the best of the younger generation in the army, so it is understandable to accept this important task, but why does she seem to smell a conspiracy: "Have the previous tributes been robbed?"

"Occasionally once or twice a year, the ones that are robbed are not very important..." Su Yixuan suddenly paused as he spoke: The bandits robbed dispensable tributes just because they were afraid of touching Longyan. It caused a catastrophe, but why did they rob such an important tribute this time?The emperor will be angry, will be furious, and will order a search, but before that, he, Su Yixuan, will be dealt with by military law...

He suddenly had the feeling that someone had plotted against him. All the small troubles in the past were just to pave the way for this matter, so that the robbing of the tribute this time seemed reasonable.

But in this way, it will take several years to arrange the people behind the scenes, and let those bandits hide carefully, so as not to be discovered, it will consume a lot of energy and material resources, who has such a big hatred with their Su family , want to use such a subtle method to blatantly kill him?
Let him be dealt with by military law because of the loss of tribute, and when he dies, others will only applaud loudly, and absolutely no one will cry for him...

Looking at Su Yixuan's solemn gaze, Mu Yutang knew what he was thinking. She was also wondering about that matter: "Cousin Xuan, how did the tribute be robbed?" For such an important tribute, the army must have dispatched a large number of elites Escorting the soldiers, so that they can be robbed by others, this matter is a bit hanging.

The cold voice rang in his ears, and Su Yixuan looked at Mu Yutang with complicated eyes: the tribute has been lost, and he has also lost his job. He was so curious and still wanted to help him, so he carefully recalled the scene at that time, maybe he could find some clues.

After calming down, Su Yixuan recounted the scene at that time: "Last night, the soldiers and I were guarding the tribute. Those bandits fell from the sky without any warning. They were highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained. The two lieutenants and I both I was dragged back, they outnumbered the guards, wounded the guards and took away the tribute, I wanted to chase them, but they set off smoke, and after the smoke cleared, they disappeared..."

"Brother Xuan, do you feel that those bandits know your team very well, and they held you and the lieutenant general back when they came up, and they brought only a little more manpower than you, just enough to suppress your team?" Elite guards..."

Looking at Su Yixuan's gradually gloomy complexion, Mu Yutang coughed a few times: "What I mean is, those bandits have either followed you for many days and figured out your bottom line, or..."

She didn't say what she said next, but Su Yixuan understood what she meant: they might have been betrayed by their own people, fornicating with bandits and robbing tributes is a capital crime of beheading, few people would dare to commit such a crime, but his body As a major general, his insight is extremely keen. When leading the soldiers to protect the tribute, he was careful all the way, and he didn't feel that anyone was following him at all...

"Brother Xuan, are those bandits hard to clear?" Seeing Su Yixuan's complexion getting darker, Mu Yutang changed the subject. She had never seen bandits before, and it was easy to guess from General Chen's words that they were a group of bandits. Very crafty people.

Su Yixuan looked at the sky, his sharp eyes were a bit hazy: "The imperial court has been besieged for many years, but it still exists. It has robbed many tributes by ghosts and ghosts, and the courtiers are very troubled by this. If anyone can eradicate those bandits, it will be done immediately. If you have made great achievements, the emperor will reward you generously!"
