Chapter 1059 Both Sides Are Anxious

"General, it's too dangerous to go out now. We don't know what the situation is."

Old Yu and the others were all anxious.

Lieutenant General Li could see that the general was determined to get to the bottom of the matter this time, and no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

But we can't let General Qiu go out and take risks himself.

He immediately said, "General, let me take some people out to investigate. You are our commander, and you definitely cannot go out and take risks now."

"Cut the nonsense!"

General Qiu flicked his robe, carried his sword and quickly walked down the city wall.

The soldier led his warhorse over, and General Qiu immediately selected a team of elite soldiers, about thirty people.

"Follow this general out!"

"Yes!"

The city gate opened and General Qiu took the lead and rushed out.

Lieutenant General Li and Lao Yu were standing on the city wall, watching them rush out, and they were very anxious.

Not far away, two soldiers looked at each other and both quietly retreated to a corner.

"What should we do? The general is out now, and we don't know if those people have escaped."

The two spoke in low voices, their tone very nervous.

"The torches have gone out. The people must have escaped. I don't know if we can clean up all the traces in time this time."

"Yes. If there are traces left, the general will definitely know that someone is behind this. We can still find out if we want to. If we find out about the alien race, will they also give us away?"

They are soldiers from Yulan Pass.

It turns out that they are also very loyal to General Qiu and to the Great Zhou, and it turns out that they are also guarding the Yulan Pass City with all their heart.

However, life in the border town was too boring.

Not only is there nothing fun to do, but there are also only a few options to eat. I'm about to vomit.

In addition, their family member fell ill half a year ago, and the little money they had saved for a long time was sent back home. As a result, they became extremely poor. Occasionally, when they were in a bad mood, they did not even dare to have a drink of a bad-tasting wine.

Life like this makes people feel desperate.

Then, on a market day in Guancheng, some traveling merchants came to Guancheng and brought in some interesting signs. While strolling on the street, they were attracted by the way those signs were played.

Just like that, they started with playing cards and then bet on money. When they won, they plunged into it, wanting to win more.

When they lose, they get desperate and want to get it back.

Later, he sold some information about the Subei camp to those foreign businessmen in exchange for some silver.

At that time, they thought that as long as they defended Yulan Pass City well, people from outside would not be able to enter the Subei camp. What would it matter if they knew the situation in the camp?

Moreover, those peddlers had no ill intentions. They just wanted to know the situation of the Subei camp and they just wanted to do business with the soldiers in the camp.

After all, there are so many soldiers. If they can do business, they can really make a lot of money.

He just wants to make money, he's not a spy.

But later they naturally understood that it was all the other party's trick and they were deceived.

But by the time I reacted, it was too late. They had already told me so much about the Subei Camp and General Qiu's family.

The other party threatened to tell General Qiu about their affairs. If General Qiu knew about it, would he still forgive them?

In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to agree to the other party.

When the other party was setting up their plans outside with torches, we helped them to turn the situation into the direction of the ghost soldiers, so as to strike fear into the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

At the same time, we must also reveal the news to the people, making them believe that the ghost soldiers are coming to occupy Yulan Pass City, and say that the ghosts outside are the remnants of the soldiers from a hundred years ago. If they enter the city, they will definitely devour the souls of the people.

This created panic in Yulan Pass City.

He also told the people that a distinguished person from the royal family had come to the Qiu family in Subei City and had brought a very powerful master with him.

If they want to live well, they'd better go to Subei City and the Qiu family as soon as possible.

Now the people really believed it and have left Yulan Pass City, obviously heading towards Subei City.

If the people really went to find the Qiu family, the people of the Qiu family would definitely ask them carefully. If the people said that it was the soldiers guarding Yulan Pass who said it, then the investigation would also lead them here.

No matter how hard you think about it, it seems impossible for them to hide very well. After all, they have led the ghost soldiers in the direction many times before.

When chatting, their companions will also have some impression.

"what should we do?"

"Calm down!" A soldier with a small scar on the corner of his eye gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we want to check, it can't be that fast! If it doesn't work, we'll run. We won't go to Subei, we'll run to the southwest."

"Then we are deserters!"

"Why are you running away? Let's find an opportunity now. The Qiu family will definitely send something over. We should try to get a job to meet them, and then create some accidents for ourselves."

"You mean, we're going to escape?" the other party was shocked.

"What else can you do?"

They were afraid of General Qiu's methods. General Qiu would not tolerate traitors and would never give them any chance.

Rather than die under General Qiu's sword, they would rather risk their lives and escape.

As they were talking, a soldier quickly came up from the city wall and walked towards Lieutenant General Li.

"Deputy General Li, Master Qiu has sent people to deliver food and medicinal herbs. They are now less than three miles away from Bancheng."

When Lieutenant General Li heard this, he was greatly surprised.

Although he can stand here now, his illness has not yet been completely cured. There is a shortage of medicine and food here.

"Master Qiu actually has such a solution!"

Lieutenant General Li said, "I heard that the Subei camp is running out of food and medicine. Not long ago, the Qiu family emptied their savings to help the camp through the crisis. I thought it was a dead end this time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qiu could still get food and medicine?"

Lao Yu and the others were also very surprised, even a little bit unbelievable.

"Yes, the Qiu family really has no food left, Deputy General, I heard before that they only kept a little bit of food, barely enough for the family to survive for a month. Are they shipping all the food they saved now?"

The Qiu family is truly righteous!

Lieutenant General Li found it impossible.

"We have hundreds of people here. No matter how much the Qiu family saves, it won't be enough. Could it be that the military rations that were robbed from them before have been taken back?"

"Old Yu, take a few people to meet them! The road to Guancheng is too dark and difficult to walk on, and they are not as familiar with it as ours." Lieutenant General Li quickly gave the order.

He really wanted to go by himself, but now General Qiu was out of the city, so he had to stay here.

"Yes."

Old Yu immediately ran down the city wall.

Two soldiers hurried after him from the shadows.

"Old Yu, we'll go with you."
