Chapter 168 Purposeful Escape
Huo Weilou pointed at this area and said, "They are all heading in this direction, aren't there others?"
Immediately afterwards, Huo Weilou asked the deserters how many times they had left and when.
Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou felt that there was something fishy in this.
"General Yun, haven't you ever suspected anything?"
General Yun shook his head and looked at Huo Weilou with great confusion, even a little confused by his guess.
"My lord, is there anything wrong?"
Huo Weilou looked at him and laughed.
"Who are most of these people?"
General Yun thought for a while and said: "They were all bandits who were recruited when we suppressed the robbers. After they were caught, they became prisoners. Generally, we would give them two choices, jail or expulsion. Most of them They all chose to join the army without hesitation, just because the military training is strict and they don't condone their little problems. Therefore, when someone ran away at first, we would catch them, but later we just let it take its course."
After saying that, General Yun still didn't feel anything was wrong.
Shen Xinyue asked him, "Did they take anything with them when they left?"
General Yun shook his head and explained with certainty: "We never let these people come into contact with higher-level content, such as where to go to fight or what to do. We only gave them orders to pack up on the same day, and they were informed before departure. How many hours will it take to notify me?"
Therefore, they won't take away any useful information. Even if they go back, they probably won't have much support, so General Yun won't take it seriously.
Well, this would allow Huo Weilou to relax a little. If he can't, then it'll be fine.
When looking at General Yun, Huo Weilou seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "What is Mr. Yun responsible for on weekdays?"
When General Yun heard this, he answered truthfully: "Lan'er doesn't know martial arts, so she is responsible for things like purchasing for the military camp, or doing simple things. What's wrong?"
Huo Weilou shook his head, "Well, it doesn't have much to do with it, nor can it be said that it has nothing to do with Yun Lan."
"It's nothing, I just remembered something. Since it's nothing, I won't say anything."
After Huo Weilou looked at the routes around him, he determined some escape routes. There was no loss of property when he left.
When they are here, they usually stay for two to three months, or about a month. Under normal circumstances, if they can't stay any longer, they will run away.
He wouldn't take too many things with him, and he wouldn't be afraid of being caught, so General Yun didn't care.
As long as no actual harm is caused, General Yun can just sit back and watch, or even pretend he didn't see it.
"I think this matter is not that simple. In this case, I need to investigate secretly. General Yun, I will also need your cooperation next."
When General Yun saw Huo Weilou's serious expression, he was stunned for a while and then nodded silently. ap.
"Then, I'll tell Lan'er and the others that it's not peaceful recently."
Huo Weilou shook his head and stopped General Yun.
"General Yun, I don't want anyone to know. The less people know about this matter, the less likely it will cause complications. I'll tell Mr. Yun at this time. If Mr. Yun can't stand it, or if he's a young man and drinks too much and spills the beans, he can What should I do?”
General Yun believed what Huo Weilou said and felt that what he said was very reasonable. Therefore, he nodded and said: "You are right. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. It is fine if we know. If it is involved at this time, It’s really not good to kill other people.”
After saying that, Huo Weilou nodded with great satisfaction.
Looking at Shen Xinyue, Shen Xinyue smiled knowingly and said, "You guys chat, I'll wait for you outside. General Yun, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Old General Yun smiled, but did not continue to persuade him to stay.
No matter what the reason was, it was not good for Shen Xinyue to stay. Therefore, he thought about it carefully and decided that it would be better to let Shen Xinyue leave.
so,
They don't have to worry too much when talking about it.
Shen Xinyue stood outside, while Huo Weilou was inside formulating a new plan with General Yun. While they were discussing, they were preventing others from overhearing.
There were very few people who knew about it, and Huo Weilou casually used other excuses to greet the rest, and did not let General Yun tell anyone about his questioning of the deserters.
Old General Yun understood Huo Weilou's concerns, so if Huo Weilou said otherwise, he would not say it himself. Not only would he not say it, but he would not take it seriously.
In the next few days, Huo Weilou did not take any action, and even asked casually about the deserters in the military camp.
But just like this, Yun Lan became more and more uneasy.
He began to worry that Huo Weilou had noticed something, so he didn't care about anything. The fact that he didn't care about anything made him even more worried.
One day, he couldn't hold it in anymore and went directly to find the deputy general who was usually responsible for discussing political matters with General Yun.
"Vice General Xing, what did the prince discuss with my father a few days ago? I see that my father has been staying in the study these days. Could it be that something happened?"
Yun Lan's voice was full of emotion, and her expression was full of worry, just like a son who is worried that his father will collapse from exhaustion.
Lieutenant General Xing was a little confused and thought about what the prince said that day.
"No, the prince didn't say anything. It was just a routine inquiry. He asked some common questions and asked the general some things that need to be guarded against in the army. Other than that, there was nothing else. Mr. Yun, Don't worry, he knows the general's health well, and it's possible that something happened to the general himself, so he fell into it."
After finishing speaking, he even laughed and said: "It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. The general has often done this before. I think you are just too worried about the general, so that's why you are like this."
But it's normal. After all, it's my father who I feel sorry for.
Vice General Xing understood Yun Lan's mood, but he really didn't know what Huo Weilou had discussed with General Yun.
"I understand. It's not that I'm worried that my father's body won't be able to bear it. Since Vice General Xing said it's nothing, it should be that my father is troubled by something else."
Vice General Xing nodded. He knew that Yun Lan was a filial boy, so he didn't say anything. After seeing Yun Lan leave, he immediately went to the main camp tent and saw Huo Weilou and Old General Yun there, smiling. Come forward.
"General, where are you?"
General Yun looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"
Vice General Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, it's nothing serious. Mr. Yun just came over to ask about you, the general. As you know, nothing happened recently, so the general didn't say anything."
Huo Weilou, on the other hand, asked with interest: "Oh? What did Mr. Yun ask?"
Vice General Xing said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if the general has encountered any difficult things recently. He always stays in the study and doesn't go out, or he just gets up and comes to the barracks."
Well, Huo Weilou's smile was somewhat meaningful.
However, he would not say anything until there was definite evidence.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yun is really a filial son."
Lieutenant General Xing had something to say. As if he and Huo Weilou had found a common topic, he sat on the chair next to Huo Weilou, sitting in a very wild manner.
"I have to talk to you, Prince, about this junior general. It's all Mr. Yun's business. Usually, it's the junior general who makes the general so angry, comforts others, or makes people stare at the general's body, but
They are all Mr. Yun, or I will say that Mr. Yun is really filial."
Huo Weilou was quite interested, and General Yun didn't take it seriously. He just thought Huo Weilou was curious, so he asked more questions. Vice General Xing was also famous for his mouth, and he would praise someone he liked.
The prince didn't mind the disrespect of this rough man, and he had nothing to say.
"Then Vice-General Xing is not as good as
Tell me, this king, how do Mr. Yun show his filial piety on a daily basis?"
When Lieutenant General Xing heard this, he became excited and talked a lot with a smile.
They all revolve around Yun Qing. Every time Yun Qing does something, Yun Lan is the one who takes the blame. This gives people the illusion that Yun Qing is arrogant and domineering and does whatever he wants by relying on his status as a little general. It is precisely because of this
, this time, after Yun Qing did such an unorthodox thing, everyone subconsciously felt that this was what Yun Qing did, without even thinking about why Yun Qing did it.
It's like a subconscious understanding.
It must be said that Yun Lan is really very capable in planning. He has successfully created a very good image in the eyes of everyone, and at the same time, he has also played a role model in everyone's mind.
"Well, that's really an accident. Mr. Yun is so good, but I've only been in Junzhou for a short time, so I haven't had a chance to see him. When I have time, I can see how Mr. Yun treats General Yun.
.”
Huo Weilou was suspicious by nature, and it was understandable to suspect Yun Lan. General Yun did not take it seriously, but he just felt that even if it were him, he would probably be suspected by the prince for a while.
"This is very good. As long as the prince thinks it is possible, I will do my best to cooperate."
No matter what Huo Weilou wants to do or what he wants to investigate, as long as he says it, Old General Yun will not refuse. Not only will he not refuse, but he will also ask everyone to cooperate with Huo Weilou so that Huo Weilou can better find out.
Who is causing trouble?
In the past few days, under Huo Weilou's secret investigation, more fingers have been pointed at Yun Lan, but without definite evidence, Yun Lan cannot be convicted at all.
"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, Mr. Yun has never made any mistakes since he took over all the procurement matters for the military camp. Even many of the pitfalls made by the young general before have been filled in by Mr. Yun. This is the last thing.
It will be unimaginable to others."
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, is there such a thing?
When he looked at General Yun, General Yun touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience: "Aren't you worried that the prince would think that I am a peddler of old kings, bragging about myself, so I didn't say anything about Yun Lan? What Vice General Xing said is true.
Is such that."
Huo Weilou suddenly realized and finally understood why these people believed in Yun Lan so much.
I have to say that Yun Lan's ability is indeed quite good. Not only is he not very talented, he even has some ability to make everyone say good things for him and even praise everything he does.
"I am still a little curious. It is so difficult for Mr. Yun. So, in this case, I will ask Deputy General Xing a few questions."
Lieutenant General Xing patted his chest and vowed: "If you ask, Your Majesty, there is nothing that the general does not know."
Huo Weilou looked up in surprise, and his smile became even more complicated.
"That's right. So what does Vice-General Xing think of the deserters?"
