Chapter 1981: The Finale
Rumours started to spread in the Jiang Family Camp.
” Hey, someone said that the current Great General isn’t the Great General. Is that true?”
” When the Great General went to the battlefield, he always wore a silver mask and almost never revealed his true appearance. How would I know if this is the Great General?”
“Shhh, have you forgotten that although the Great General is wearing a mask, his warhorse is a Liefeng, and his weapon is that large blade? However, although this general was also wearing a mask, he hid in the military camp all day and did not show up at all.
“Moreover, although the weapon he used was also a large sabre, have you forgotten the large sabre in the general’s hand? That’s a 108-pound broadsword. It’s usually easy for the general to carry it, but if it’s us, we can’t even lift it with one hand.
“But yesterday, I touched that sabre quite a bit. Guess what? The sabre fell with a clang. From the sound, it was light.
“Also, have you seen the general’s mount? That’s not Liefeng at all!” This soldier sat in the middle of a group of soldiers and talked casually. He said it was a guess, but it sounded more like a certainty.
“Hey, we really didn’t notice if you didn’t say so!”
“I guess so. There’s one more thing, have you noticed? Usually, the general’s aura is very sharp and cold, making us soldiers not dare to approach at all. But now, we don’t feel any dignity from this Great General at all. Don’t you think so?”
“In that case, I think so too.”
“I heard that the Great General accompanied his wife, the princess of the Guguo, to the Black Cloud Kingdom.”
Although Guo Bing had dealt with it in a timely manner, the rumours had spread very quickly. Under his strict orders, they were not allowed to spread these rumours. However, these rumours had already taken root in the hearts of these soldiers, which made them even more puzzled. From time to time, they would look at the general’s tent, the weapon in his hand, or his mount.
For a moment, the morale of the army was somewhat lax.
If this Great General was fake, then where did the real Great General go?
Could it be that he had escaped at the last minute?
Although Defender General Jiang Zhennan was in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, there were a few rats in a pot of porridge that would come and play tricks from time to time.
These people were either from a prince’s camp or a faction of a certain force. In short, there were always some who were dragging them down or were unwilling to accept it.
After hearing these rumours, the three deputy generals and four generals came to the general’s tent.
As the military advisor, Guo Bing had always followed the general.
When he saw the expressions of these people, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He asked sternly again,” If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, say it. Don’t drag it out like a woman!”
How could Guo Bing not guess the purpose of these people?
After being questioned by Guo Bing, the deputy generals looked at each other as if they were all trying to avoid being the first to voice their questions.
“Get out!” Guo Bing’s face darkened, and his expression immediately turned serious. His tone was sharp.
