Chapter 1247

The night passed without a word.

There were some changes on the Great Wall.

I don't know when the bonfires on the ground had gone out.

In front of the Great Wall giant gate.

Several people dressed in black clothes sneaked here.

After smearing some unknown liquid on the giant gate, they left quietly.

Because the sky was very dark, no one added firewood to the bonfires.

Torches were only on the Great Wall.

The light was severely insufficient.

The city wall and the ground were more than three zhang apart.

The soldiers could only see a blurry outline.

No one discovered this action.

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

The soldiers on the Great Wall giant gate didn't find anything unusual.

Because the giant gate under their feet was perpendicular to them.

It was normal not to see anything unusual under their feet.

But the soldiers who had just come to change shifts.

Standing on the side of the Great Wall, they discovered a problem.

A red patch had appeared on the giant gate at some point.

It looked very much like bloodstains.

At first, the soldiers didn't take it to heart.

After all, a bloodshed incident happened here yesterday.

It was normal to have some blood on the gate.

They all thought the blood on the giant gate was accidentally stained yesterday.

But some soldiers thought there were no bloodstains on the giant gate yesterday.

So there was a dispute early in the morning.

Some soldiers said it was accidentally stained yesterday.

Some soldiers said there were no bloodstains on the giant gate yesterday.

Both sides argued because of this, each holding their own opinions.

"I clearly saw yesterday that there were no such bloodstains on the giant gate."

"There was only a trace of blood; now it has become such a large patch, it's definitely not normal!"

"It seems there really were no bloodstains last night; it's truly strange."

"Could it be that someone put it there last night?"

"This is also possible, that someone put it there last night."

"But why put bloodstains on the giant gate? There might be something wrong with this."

"Do you mean to say we were asleep last night? And someone played tricks on the giant gate?"

"You think too much; we were guarding here last night."

"Nothing happened, it's impossible for anyone to play tricks."

"Don't forget, people were smashed to death in front of the giant gate yesterday; isn't it normal to have some bloodstains?"

"Just a little bloodstain, and it made you panic?"

"Besides, it's just a little bloodstain, what's the big deal?"

"What's there to argue about? It's normal for blood to splash out when people die."

Both sides of the soldiers argued with each other, unable to reach a conclusion.

The situation had a tendency to intensify.

Until Deputy General Zhao walked onto the Great Wall, the soldiers ended the dispute.

Deputy General Zhao listened for a while before understanding what had happened.

He walked to the side, leaned out, and looked down.

Only then did he find that there was a bloodstain on the giant gate.

But he wasn't sure if there were these bloodstains on the giant gate yesterday.

Therefore, he couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong.

But this wasn't a big deal, so he didn't report it.

Reporting without understanding the situation might lead to punishment from the General.

After all, he had just changed shifts and didn't know what happened last night.

And Deputy General Li, who guarded the second half of the night, was now resting, and finding him would be of no avail.

Nothing happened last night, but the soldiers had two opinions, so one must be wrong.

Now that such a thing had appeared, whether it was a big deal or a small deal.

It still needed to be investigated clearly, so if someone asked from above, there would be an explanation.

Deputy General Zhao thought deeply for a while: "Don't argue, everyone."

"If you want to know whether the bloodstains were splashed on yesterday or deliberately put on last night."

"The method is very simple, no need to argue; send someone down to take a look and you will know."

"If it was splashed on yesterday, the bloodstains should have dried long ago."

"But if it was artificially put on last night, it shouldn't have dried so quickly in a short time."
