Chapter 412 Things are going differently
"Reward me handsomely?" I asked deliberately, "Do you have money and women?"
The translator laughed and said, "Whatever you want, our general will give you."
As a result, the translator laughed too wildly and immediately attracted a patrol team.
The patrol team approached us, and the leader shouted, "Whose men are you? Don't you know that now is the critical time to catch the thieves? And you are still laughing so brazenly!"
I quickly said, "I'm sorry, brother. We are the patrol officers that Deputy General Zhang just recruited. We just choked, not laughed loudly. We will definitely pay attention."
The leader snorted loudly and led his men away.
After the patrol had left, the translator wiped the sweat off his forehead and whispered, "It's a good thing we have you, little brother. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."
I said angrily, "There are enemies everywhere. If you want to laugh, wait until you get out before you laugh. Don't attract everyone here."
The translator quickly responded "yes".
I did lead Zhou Wu and the others towards the back door, but going to the back door would require passing by Zhao Zhenyuan's temporary base.
The temporary base was also an independent courtyard, which was originally the teacher's dormitory. There were more than 20 rooms in it, where some of Zhao Zhenyuan's cavalrymen lived. Another part of the cavalrymen was transferred away by Zheng Xian, and those who were temporarily seconded from the Imperial Guards lived in a large courtyard next to the cavalrymen.
The two compounds are next to each other. When I came here tonight, I clearly heard a lot of people talking, but when I walked past, the two compounds were dark and quiet.
Strange, it's really strange!
What happened to make everyone inside collapse? Was this the reason why they couldn't go to support Zhao Zhenyuan?
I looked up at the stable in the backyard. The torches were still bright, and there were occasional roars of fighting. It seemed that the battle was not over yet.
Seeing that I was not leaving, the translator quickly asked in a low voice: "Little brother, what happened?"
I quickly said, "There is a group of people rushing towards us. They are very aggressive. Let's find a place to hide first and come out after they leave."
When the translator heard this, he hurried over and said something to Zhou Wu, who kept nodding.
The translator came over and asked me where we should hide. There were rows of student dormitories in front of the teacher's dormitory. I quickly took them into a dormitory. As soon as we hid, we heard a group of people rushing over.
The group of people came in a hurry, and you could hear their rapid breathing.
When they arrived in front of the two houses, someone exclaimed, "Why are all the lights in the yard out? Someone come quickly."
"Here, sir." A roar was heard, and it sounded like there were about a hundred people roaring.
"Hurry, go in and see what happened." the voice said hurriedly.
This voice sounded familiar. Wasn't it Du Changfeng's father Du Feilong? Why was he here?
As soon as Du Feilong finished speaking, he heard the sound of a door opening. Soon, a voice came from the yard: "Sir, everyone inside is unconscious."
"What?" Du Feilong heard it and hurriedly walked into the yard.
The lights in the rooms in the yard were soon all turned on, and Du Feilong saw that everyone in each room was lying in a mess with their eyes closed, motionless.
Du Feilong hurried forward and felt the person's breath. Fortunately, he was still breathing. The person was not dead, just fainted.
At this time, someone from another courtyard also ran over to report: "Sir, everyone in the other courtyard has also fainted."
Du Feilong thought for a moment and said, "Let's check what caused them all to faint."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate immediately obeyed the order.
Soon someone found the drugs in the cup and brought the cup to Du Feilong for verification.
Du Feilong's face turned black. Someone actually put drugs in the water. This was really outrageous.
It was easy to deal with once we knew it was a drug. Du Feilong had the drug to cure the drug developed by Imperial Doctor Sun. He fed each person a pill, and soon, all the people who had fainted in the two courtyards woke up.
Du Feilong hurriedly asked these people what was going on.
One of the cavalry soldiers touched his still confused head and said, "I just remember that General Zhao seemed to have heard some noises and hurriedly took his men away. Before leaving, he told us to stay here well in case there was any sudden situation and needed support. Not long after General Zhao left, a person from the kitchen came in with hot water and filled our kettles with hot water. The kitchen staff would often fill our kettles with hot water. We had no doubts about him, so we just poured the water and drank it. We didn't expect to be tricked."
The cavalry soldier hit his head in annoyance. He relaxed his composure after returning to the capital. This was really wrong. If the two armies were facing each other, he would have been beheaded by now.
Du Feilong had no choice but to comfort her: "Okay, don't blame yourself, and cheer up. Ah Man is missing, His Majesty is furious and has ordered a city-wide search, you should hurry up and look for him."
Of course they knew who "A'man" was. Everyone knew that there was a big celebrity in front of His Majesty. Even General Zhao had to be friendly to this big celebrity. Now that he is missing, His Majesty will have to turn the capital upside down!
So everyone got up and went to look for someone, regardless of their still dizzy heads.
There were about 800 cavalrymen left behind, plus the Imperial Guards, totaling more than 1,000 people. This team was considered large, and they all dispersed in an instant, making the martial arts academy lively.
How did Zheng Xian know that I was missing? And why did he mobilize so many people to look for me?
Before I could figure it out, the translator came up to me, patted my shoulder and asked, "Little brother, there are so many people outside, what should we do?"
I frowned and said, "This is troublesome. I originally wanted to take everyone out while the horse manure field was in chaos, but I didn't expect so many people to come all of a sudden. What should I do now?"
I didn't know what to do, and the translator didn't know what to do even more. He was so anxious that he ran back to find Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu didn't expect the incident to turn out like this. He originally just wanted to help that person rebel, but before the rebellion even started, their soldiers were killed or captured, and more than half of them were gone. In the end, he was forced to hide in a secret room for several days. During the days in the secret room, he couldn't eat or sleep well. He was almost suffocated to death. He didn't expect the secret room to be discovered in the end. He wanted to escape but couldn't, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
I listened to the noises outside and realized that most people had left. I got up and looked out the window, and sure enough, there was no one outside.
I whispered, "Let's go out now. They won't pay much attention to us in the chaos. If anyone asks, I will answer them. You must keep silent."
At this point, Zhou Wu had no choice but to agree.
