Chapter 930

What on earth are these?

Indeed, without anyone to explain, even Zhao Gao did not know that these were to be installed on horses. He did not understand what unique use these few strips of cloth and pieces of iron had.

Before he could even guess the purpose of these items, suddenly, someone came from outside to report that Meng Tian was visiting.

Consequently, Zhao Gao could only hurriedly end this covert meeting to meet Meng Tian.

"What brings General Meng here?"

"Has the Xiongnu launched another invasion?"

After seeing Meng Tian, Zhao Gao immediately put on an official tone and asked Meng Tian.

Meng Tian's expression turned cold, "General, you know full well why I have come here."

"Oh?" Zhao Gao's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, "I would like to hear the details!"

Meng Tian said, "Earlier, His Majesty the Emperor sent a letter stating that the Grand Master had crafted several unique items that could help us defeat the Xiongnu. Today, I secretly inspected them and confirmed they indeed have miraculous uses. I did not expect that as soon as night fell, someone would go to steal them."

"I was wondering why the previous few battles ended in failure, as if the Xiongnu knew our army's movements. Now it seems that a spy has appeared on our side. Zhao Gao, what is your explanation?"

Zhao Gao's mind suddenly wavered, but he was, after all, a man who had once held the reins of the Net, and he soon steadied himself.

He feigned realization and said, "So that is the reason for the failure of the battles. But, General Meng, what does this have to do with me? You must know that since the Xiongnu invasion, I have not dared to be the slightest bit negligent, always actively preparing logistics for the army. General Meng, you wouldn't think I am colluding with the Xiongnu, would you?"

Meng Tian did not respond.

Gai Nie, who had accompanied him, said another sentence that made Zhao Gao's mind tremble, "I do not know why you were in such a hurry to have someone steal those things, but you probably do not know that to prevent theft, we laid a trap on those items from the very beginning. Through that trap, we have confirmed that the person who stole the items earlier is currently here with you!"
