Chapter 827 Let’s put it aside for now

Just a few short words, coming from our Lord General Tao, the whole tent was immediately lit up.

Zuo Feng's words were not so clear before, so it's no wonder that the three deputy generals didn't understand it for a while. But Lord General Tao pointed it out directly, not half-hiding like Zuo Feng did.

Of course, Lord General Tao is a military general himself, and he is directly under the jurisdiction of the city lord. Others don't need to buy it, even if the other party is the seventh son of the super family painter.

In addition, he didn't say it casually, because when he heard Zuo Feng mention Hua Qi, he felt his eyes brighten.

Hua Qi is different from Zuo Feng. He is on the road with a group of servants. It is normal for the children of such a super family to have some guards, and they have a cooperative relationship with each other. It is normal that the three deputy generals did not consider them for a while.

But based on the current situation, if we first exclude the suspicion of Zuo Feng and ourselves, then the most suspicious person is Hua Qi.

Suspicion from Zuo Feng

It can be ruled out for now. If Zuo Feng himself had created such a scene, it would almost be meaningless. Killing so many people just to get people close to Zuo Feng himself is a bit too unbelievable. There are only two people on Zuo Feng's side. In addition to Zuo Feng, there is only one youth in the first level of the Tempering Tendon Stage.

Such a combination of two people, I am afraid that even if you want to force them to think about it, it doesn't seem to have much relationship at all.

Then the people under his command, Tao Zhujiang always believed that they would not do such a thing of betraying their own people, at least they would not directly join forces with outsiders to take the lives of their brothers. However, this is also his estimate. He actually dare not completely rule out the possibility in this regard, but he now wants to find other breakthroughs.

Zuo Feng's words helped him think of a possibility, a very reasonable possibility, a person he thought there was definitely a possibility of digging deeper.

The three deputy generals looked at each other, and one of them stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "I'll go and see if the painters have any movements. It's impossible for any action in our camp to be hidden from our people."

This deputy general was also the one who spoke before, and was also the one who accompanied the main general during the action. It seems that his position among the three main generals will be slightly improved.

This deputy general is also a man of swift action. After speaking, he turned around and strode out. Zuo Feng's heart moved, and he said, "Wait a minute, Deputy General."

The deputy general had already walked to the edge of the big tent, and one hand had already grabbed the curtain of the tent. When he heard Zuo Feng's words, his hand stopped in the air, and he said with a hint of anger and impatience in his eyes: "Just now, Mr. Shen also said that the suspects here are not our people, and naturally not you, so there are only the group of painters left. What do you mean by stopping me now?"

Zuo Feng was not angry, and said lightly: "I am not stopping the deputy general from investigating, but I hope that the deputy general will be careful and not alert the enemy, so as not to make the other party alert and unable to catch their weakness."

The deputy general was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then his eyes turned to General Tao, who nodded slightly, and then he clasped his fists, lifted the curtain and strode out.

Zuo Feng did not mix personal feelings and likes and dislikes in this matter, and he did not mean to specifically target Hua Qi. He also gradually unveiled this layer of veil after considering this conclusion.

Zuo Feng has now made his own judgment about this team, which comes from his previous attempt to find out whether this team would threaten him.

It is for this reason that Zuo Feng will observe more carefully and think deeply about some situations. From the army's chief general Tao to his three deputy generals, there is a breath, which can be said to be a temperament.

This is not a simple temperament of good or evil, but a cohesion of the whole army. The chief general has absolute prestige for the three deputy generals, and the three are also very convinced of the orders of the chief general. The three may have some small thoughts, but when they are together, they will take the whole team as the premise.

The three of them are actually the epitome of the soldiers below, and the other people in the team are also very united, and their cooperation with each other during the battle can be seen.

Therefore, Zuo Feng estimated that there may be some small problems within this team, but such small problems will not lead to the emergence of traitors who are too bad.

If this possibility is excluded, then Zuo Feng can only think of Hua Qi. Their people are in the team and know the situation in the team in detail. If they want to make trouble, I am afraid they may really do this.

The conflict between Hua Qi and Zuo Feng was actually a hot topic before the selection. Almost everyone in Linshan County knew about it. This Chief General Tao was not a fool and of course he knew it.

Hua Qi had a motive to deal with Zuo Feng, but it was not sufficient. Because Hua Qi's current ranking has been determined, even the city lord is not qualified to change this result, which means that if Zuo Feng is killed now, his ranking will not be improved.

In this case, if he wanted to kill Zuo Feng just to vent his anger, the risk seemed too high. Once this was discovered, not even the painter could save him. Taking such a big risk seems to be worth it if the ranking can be changed, but it seems a bit far-fetched if it is just to vent one's anger.

Therefore, Master Tao only explained what Zuo Feng meant, but did not express that he agreed with it. In this way, even if he was openly investigating Hua Qi, but found that there was no suspicion in Hua Qi, he could naturally take a step back and say that it was Zuo Feng's. mean.

He can also catch the left wind in his heart, but in the current situation, he naturally has to consider his own safety first. As for Hua Qi, I already had a rift with him, and it wouldn't change much even if the dispute became more tense.

After a while, the departing lieutenant returned to the camp covered in dust. Seeing that he had been gone for such a long time, it was obvious that he had followed the general's instructions and conducted the investigation quietly to prevent people on Hua Qi's side from noticing.

After he returned to the camp, General Tao spoke first this time, saying slowly: "The painter's side is very calm, as if nothing happened."

The deputy general looked at Zuo Feng next to him, then turned his gaze to General Tao, and then said: "No, they seem a little confused over there, and they seem to have an obvious reaction to the assassin's sneaking in."

Zuo Feng and General Tao were both slightly stunned, but after a brief moment of astonishment, their eyes immediately lit up. General Tao seemed to no longer give the right to speak to Zuo Feng as before, but asked: "They reacted greatly to the assassin, so what was the state before the assassination happened?"

The deputy general obviously investigated very clearly and answered without any hesitation: "What's strange is that before the assassination happened, they seemed very calm and did not do any strange behavior. However, their people were also doing it for the safety of the Seventh Young Master. In particular, they checked the campsites around them.

However, their activities were limited to the surroundings of their own camp, but they never left the entire camp. If they were to be said to be in harmony with others, it did not seem to be the same. "

After saying these words, everyone frowned, especially the other two lieutenants, whose expressions became a little angry at this time.

Their reaction is also normal because they prefer to believe that the problem lies externally rather than within their team. If we look at it like the previous investigation, the problem probably lies within their team. It seems that they still have to face the reality that they are unwilling to accept.

Zuo Feng seemed to be surprised by this situation at first, but then he seemed to think of something, but did not say anything more.

General Tao spoke slowly and said: "It's too late today, and we have to rush tomorrow. Everyone should go back and rest. Tonight, the ear posts will be harder. The number of rotations will be doubled, and the manpower of each post will also need to be different." Add one more person.”

The three lieutenants found it difficult to accept such a conversation that had no beginning or end, but when they saw that the general had no other orders, they had no choice but to clasp their fists and salute before leaving.

Zuo Feng also stood up and clasped his fists to leave, but he heard General Tao slowly say: "Master Shen, please be patient. Although bad guys were able to sneak in once, I believe they will not have such luck again."

After hearing this, Zuo Feng was slightly startled, but he still smiled and saluted, then turned around and strode away, leaving Lord Tao sitting alone in the tent.

The curtains of the big tent were opened, and the cool night breeze blew in, making the candles flicker and dim, making the entire tent seem unreal.

Master Tao lowered his head slightly, and the light in the tent flickered, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but in the flickering, there was a pair of bright eyes shining brightly.

After everyone left the main account, they left separately. Zuo Feng left here directly and returned to his camp. The lieutenants left separately and went to their own teams to convey the general's orders.

The three of them all had doubts in their hearts, because the painter's reaction was obviously a little abnormal. This abnormal reaction actually had a hint of normality. They felt a hint of conspiracy in it, but they just felt it but couldn't express it.

They believed that even the Lord General would be aware of the problem that they could see, but they all understood why the Lord would deal with it this way. But the bounden duty of soldiers is to obey orders. On the first day they joined the Linshan County Guards, they learned to obey orders unconditionally. This was the case before and it is still the case now.
