Chapter 497

"This..."

Wang Mang was slightly surprised when he saw the officials in Kirin clothes coming in. Then he heard that general Yuwen was even ready to throw everything here to the officials in front of him.

"General Yuwen, general Zhou fengmiao's meaning..." Wang Mang tried to stop.

Although he is only an ordinary soldier of the greedy wolf army, Wang Mang is not a fool. Before, when Zhou fengmiao was in the general's camp, his dignified appearance showed that this matter was absolutely no small matter. Later, Wang Mang heard that Zhou fengmiao asked Yuwen to take charge of it personally, but now Yuwen's special general plans to transfer it to others. Although he can't tell the specific reason, Wang Mang instinctively felt that it was inappropriate.

"What does general Zhou mean?" Yu Wen didn't seem to understand Wang Mang's meaning, and his tone was a little confused.

Wang Mang looked at Yu Wen, who looked puzzled, and at Li Kai, who was standing in the middle of the room. He gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "didn't general Zhou personally say that he would let the general take charge of this matter? He also said that it must be kept strictly confidential. General Yu Wen, are you..."

"Oh? That's what you mean." When Yuwen heard Wang Mang's explanation, he suddenly realized it on his face, waved his hand and interrupted Wang Mang's words, saying: "general Zhou did say that, but now the military situation is urgent, the accident here is important, but the safety of Xuanmen pass is the most important. When there is a conflict between the two, we should also know how to respond flexibly."

Speaking of this, Yuwen and Li Kai looked at each other, smiled and said, "besides, General Li Kai has served in Xuanmen pass for a full 15 years. During this period, he has been under my command. It can be said that he is my most trusted subordinate. General Zhou also praised him. I believe he can keep a secret."

"More importantly, General Li Kai is responsible for the communication between the army and the local government. He himself knows the local situation very well. Under his command, he can undoubtedly give full play to the strength of the army and the local government and greatly improve the investigation efficiency."

"But..." Wang Mang was still a little uneasy.

"Well, I've made up my mind." Yuwen waved his hand to stop Wang Mang from saying, "Wang Mang, I can understand your mood, but the most important thing at Xuanmen pass is to deal with the sudden attack of the barbarian army. There are priorities. The general was forced to make this decision. I hope you can understand."

"I, I......" Wang Mang took a look at his mouth and still didn't want to accept it. But seeing Yuwen's worried look, he finally nodded and said, "yes!"

Wang Mang was an ordinary soldier of the greedy wolf army. If it weren't for Xu San's affairs, he might not have had the opportunity to talk to the general of Yuwen's rank in his life. It's hard for general Yuwen with high status to analyze the current situation so patiently and carefully and reveal his heart.

Wang Mang also knew this, so although he still felt something wrong in his heart, he was embarrassed and had no reason to object.

Seeing that Wang Mang was finally persuaded, Yuwen nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Kai in the middle of the room.

"Well, tell General Li Kai what you want in the future. Trust me, with General Li Kai, the search is definitely more efficient than before." Yuwen walked over and patted Wang Mang on the shoulder, with a touch of comfort.

Wang Mang nodded.

Seeing this, Yuwen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Kai and said in a solemn voice: "Li Kai! From today on, you will officially take over the search for Xu San's whereabouts. You must give full play to the strength of the army and the local authorities and get the results as soon as possible."

"In addition, Wang Mang is Xu San's classmate. We should pay more attention to Wang Mang's opinions and try our best to meet his requirements."

"The end will understand!" Li Kai hugged his fist and responded.

"Well, I'll leave it to you later."

Yu Wen nodded and walked towards the door.

"Oh, yes." When he was about to get to the door, Yuwen suddenly looked back as if he thought of something. He rushed to Li Kai and said, "luoduhou hasn't contacted us since he disappeared from Fangshi. You should also pay attention to this. If you find the news of luoduhou and Qingcheng girl, report to me immediately, and..."

"If luoduhou has any requirements, we must cooperate fully and treat him well."

When Li Kai heard the speech, he grinned and said, "Mo will understand that if there is a chance, Mo will certainly entertain the little marquis."

Wang Mang, on one side, unconsciously frowned when he heard the conversation between the two. He always felt some unspeakable strangeness.

On the wall of Xuanmen pass, Zhou fengmiao, with his hands on his back, looked at the smoke rising from the horizon in the distance and frowned.

"Strange?" Xueling behind Zhou fengmiao looked puzzled and asked, "why did the barbarians suddenly assemble so many troops? I thought it was a siege, but now..."

"Strange, really strange."

Xueling shook his head and looked at the smoke and dust gradually calming down in the distance, with a confused face.

After receiving the information of the barbarian army, he and Zhou fengmiao almost immediately made emergency arrangements, and then boarded the city wall to prepare for the possible attack of the barbarian army at any time. Surprisingly, the barbarian vanguard force clearly looked like a menacing force, but stopped moving about 20 miles away from the Xuanmen pass.

While he was trying to think about whether the barbarians had any conspiracy, he received information from the spies. The barbarian vanguard troops camped on the spot at the order of the barbarian prince. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to attack.

Xueling has never seen such a strange way of war with Zhou fengmiao for so many years.

"Wait and see!" Compared with Qi Xueling's puzzled face, Zhou fengmiao's eyes flickered and seemed to think of something. "The barbarians suddenly mobilized such a large-scale army. There must be a plot. Before the situation is unknown, let's not act rashly and wait for a while."

"Wait?" This is the first time Xueling has heard such negative remarks from Zhou fengmiao.

"Good, wait!" Zhou fengmiao didn't realize what impact his speech had on Xueling. He just stared at the vague barbarian army in the distance. His eyes twinkled and said: "the barbarians have mobilized at least one million elite troops this time. Such a huge army consumes a lot of food and grass. The barbarians can't drag on all the time."

"So we just need to wait quietly for a while, and the barbarians themselves will show their flaws."

"Just wait a minute? Wait for the barbarians to show their flaws?"
