Chapter 187

If he did not stop, he should be able to arrive at Taiyuan County tomorrow morning.

On Wang Jian's side.

All the soldiers waited for a whole afternoon, but they did not wait for any news of Fusu at all.

When it was time to eat at night.

The news that there was no more military grain could no longer be hidden.

All the soldiers received this news.

Suddenly, the entire army immediately fell into panic.

But fortunately, Wang Jian and several generals had experience in handling such matters.

With the fastest speed, they suppressed the panic.

Then they informed all the soldiers that the grain and fodder would definitely arrive in the fastest time.

The night became darker and darker, but Wang Jian's tent became more and more oppressive.

Everyone was waiting for news, waiting for the news of Fusu's arrival with the grain and fodder.

But until the second half of the night, they still did not wait for any news of Fusu.

"You all say, did something happen...?"

A somewhat hoarse voice broke the calm before them.

Once this sentence was spoken, the people on the scene immediately realized it.

"Do you mean that someone would take this opportunity to take action against Young Master Fusu?"

"Oh my, my heavens, why didn't I think of this point?"

Another general slapped his own forehead and said.

These military generals, although they had been galloping on the battlefield for many years,

were not completely ignorant of the infighting in the imperial court.

Young Master Fusu and Hu Hai were now at a critical stage.

Ying Zheng's body had been maintained with medicinal soups all these years.

I fear it would not be long before the next heir to Great Qin would be selected.

Usually, this time was definitely a time of blood and carnage in the imperial court.

But they had forgotten this point, and instead let Fusu go out alone to receive the grain and fodder.

"What can be done about this? If the Young Master really suffers any mishap, I fear we will also find it hard to preserve our lives."

A look of worry immediately appeared in the eyes of several generals.

They were worrying about their own lives.

"Zhao Lei, you take a few people and take a shortcut to go to Jiuzhou County to investigate the situation."

Wang Jian, who had been silent, spoke up.

The uneasy feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

Fusu must have encountered some big trouble; otherwise, he should have arrived here by this time.

"I will go now."

The general named Zhao Lei stood up directly and walked out.

The other generals also did not return to their own tents, but continued to stay in Wang Jian's tent waiting for news.

About an hour passed.

Outside Wang Jian's tent, the sound of panicked footsteps suddenly rang out.

After hearing the footsteps, all the generals looked toward the door in unison.

"Old General."

Zhao Lei, who had not gone out for long, suddenly pulled open the tent and walked in.

"This person says he was sent by Young Master Fusu."

Following behind Zhao Lei was Er Mazi.

Er Mazi had encountered Zhao Lei, who was riding a horse, halfway there.

He was almost killed on the spot by Zhao Lei.

Fortunately, it was explained clearly in the end, and Zhao Lei brought him directly back to the military camp.

"... ld General Wang, I have important matters to report."

Er Mazi saw Wang Jian and knelt before him with a thud.

"You say you were sent by Young Master Fusu; what is the situation?"

Wang Jian's brows furrowed.

Er Mazi was just a transport soldier; with so many soldiers, how could he remember everyone?

"The small person is named Wang Er, and I am a transport soldier."

"Young Master Fusu had already received the grain and fodder, but on the way to transport it over, he suddenly encountered a sneak attack by a group of men in black."

"Young Master Fusu was also injured, and everyone else died."

When Er Mazi said this, he still could not hide the grief in his eyes.

"The Young Master let me come over just to let Old General Wang send people to transport that batch of grain and fodder back as quickly as possible."

After speaking, he directly took out the token that Young Master Fusu had given him.

Wang Jian naturally recognized the token that represented Fusu's identity.

Upon seeing this token, he immediately believed what this person said.

"Zhao Lei, you take a team of people and go with him immediately."

Wang Jian issued the order without hesitation; he wanted to take over that batch of grain and fodder with the fastest speed.

Since this person said Young Master Fusu was only slightly injured, there should be no major issues.

Knowing the accurate news about the grain and fodder, Zhao Lei did not delay, directly lifting Er Mazi up.

Subsequently, he pointed out a team of people with fast movements, and let Er Mazi lead the way while riding horses.

Fusu and Zhang Liang were still sitting on the spot; they had to guard this batch of grain and fodder here.

Seriously injured, even if they wanted to move their positions, they could simply not move very far.

The night sky above their heads slowly dissipated.

A hazy white color appeared vaguely.

Upon hearing a burst of hoofbeats, the two knew that reinforcements had finally arrived.

"Finally arrived; Zhang Liang, we are saved."

Fusu glanced at the familiar mark, and his expression relaxed.

Zhang Liang also looked over, and upon seeing that familiar mark, his whole person also relaxed.

"This time it was still my carelessness, but I did not expect that the person behind the scenes actually possessed such a terrifying weapon."

"This matter must be investigated clearly."

"Must investigate clearly where this weapon came from."

After Zhang Liang said this, Fusu's complexion immediately became serious.

As the person on the scene who directly faced that terrifying weapon.

No one understood better than him what kind of effect this weapon could exert on the battlefield.

If this kind of weapon could be manufactured in large quantities and taken to the battlefield.

It would definitely cause a one-sided slaughter on the battlefield.

"You are right; after going back, I will immediately let the Father Emperor investigate this weapon."

Fusu said in a deep voice.

He did not know if this weapon was one of the trump cards behind the scenes, or if it could be manufactured in large quantities.

He only hoped that although this weapon was terrifying, it could not be manufactured on a large scale.
