C497 The Barbarian Army

"This..."

Wang Mang saw the officer wearing a Qilin robe walk in and was slightly shocked. Then, he heard Yuwen Jian was prepared to throw everything here to the officer in front of him. He was even more shocked.

"General Yuwen, General Zhou Fengmiao means..." Wang Mang wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Although he was just an ordinary soldier of Greedy Wolf Army, Wang Mang was not a fool. When he was in the general's tent, Zhou Fengmiao's solemn look had already indicated that this matter was definitely not to be trifled with. After that, Wang Mang personally heard that Zhou Fengmiao wanted Yuwen to personally take charge of this matter. But now, Yuwen Jian intended to pass this matter to someone else. Although he could not tell the specific reason, Wang Mang instinctively felt that it was somewhat inappropriate.

"General Zhou, what do you mean?" Yuwen Jian did not seem to understand what Wang Mang meant, and his tone was slightly puzzled.

Wang Mang looked at Yuwen Jian, who had a puzzled expression on his face, and then looked at Lee 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 wanted the General to personally take charge of this matter? And he also said that it must be strictly confidential. General Yuwen, are you... "

“ Oh? So that's what you meant." When Yuwen Jian heard Wang Mang's explanation, he had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. He waved his hand to interrupt Wang Mang's words and said, "General Zhou did say so, but now the military situation is urgent. Although the accident here is important, the safety of Profound Gate Pass is the most important. When the two parties have a conflict, we also need to be flexible and adaptive. "

Yuwen Jian and Lee Kai looked at each other and smiled. Moreover, General Lee Kai has served in Profound Gate Pass for fifteen years, and has always been under my command. You can say that he is my most trusted subordinate, and General Zhou has also praised him. I believe that he will definitely be able to keep this a secret. "

"More importantly, General Lee Kai is responsible for communicating with the local government. He knows the local situation very well, so he will be in charge. Without a doubt, he will be able to bring out the full strength of the army and the local government and greatly increase the efficiency of the investigation. "

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

"Alright, I have made up my mind." Yuwen Jian waved his hand to stop Wang Mang from continuing. "Wang Mang, I can understand your feelings, but the most important thing in Profound Gate Pass right now is to deal with the sudden attack of Barbarian Army. There are priorities in this matter, and I had no choice but to make this decision. I hope you can understand. "

"I, I..." Wang Mang's mouth twitched, but he still did not want to accept it. However, when he saw Yuwen Jian's worried look, he finally nodded his head and replied," Yes! "

Wang Mang was an ordinary soldier of Greedy Wolf Army. If it wasn't for Hsu San's matter, he might never have the chance to talk to a general of this level in his life. General Yuwen, who had a very high status, was able to patiently and meticulously analyze the current situation and expose his heart. It was already very rare.

Wang Mang was also very clear about this point. So, although he still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate in his heart, he still felt embarrassed and had no reason to object.

When Stephen saw that Wang Mang was finally convinced, he nodded his head in satisfaction and exchanged glances with Lee Kai in the middle of the room.

"Alright, if you have any requests in the future, just tell General Lee Kai directly. Trust me, with General Lee Kai joining, the search will definitely be more efficient than before." Stephen walked over and patted Wang Mang's shoulder. He comforted him faintly.

Wang Mang nodded.

Yuwen Jian nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw this, and looked at Lee Kai. He said in a solemn voice, "Lee Kai! From today onwards, you will take over the search for Hsu San's whereabouts. You must use all of your military and local power to get the results as soon as possible."

"Also, Wang Mang is Hsu San's comrade. You have to listen to Wang Mang's advice and try to satisfy his request."

"I understand!" Lee Kai cupped his fists and replied.

"En, I'll leave this place to you from now on."

Stephen nodded his head and walked towards the door.

"Oh, right." When he was about to walk to the door, Yuwen Jian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned his head. He told Lee Kai, "Marquis of Lo Capital has not contacted us since he disappeared from the market. You have to pay attention to this. If you find out about Marquis of Lo Capital and Qingcheng, report to me immediately. Also..."

"If Marquis of Lo Capital has any requests, we have to cooperate with him with all our might. We must treat him well."

Lee Kai heard this and grinned. "This general understands. If there is a chance, this general will definitely treat that young duke well."

Wang Mang, who was standing at the side, frowned when he heard their conversation. He couldn't help but feel that something was strange.

On the Profound Gate Pass's city wall, Zhou Fengmiao had his hands behind his back as he looked at the smoke rising into the sky from the distant horizon. He frowned.

"Strange?" Xueling, who was behind Zhou Fengmiao, also looked puzzled. He asked, "Why did Barbarian Clan suddenly gather so many troops? I thought it was to attack the city, but now..."

"It's strange, it's really strange."

Xueling shook his head and looked at the gradually calming dust in the distance with a puzzled expression.

After receiving the news that Barbarian Clan had gathered their troops, he and Zhou Fengmiao almost immediately made emergency arrangements. Then, they climbed up the city wall. They were ready to deal with the Barbarian Army's attack at any time, but what was surprising was that... The vanguard of the Barbarian Clan's army was obviously aggressive, but they stopped about 20 miles away from Profound Gate Pass.0

Just as he was trying hard to figure out if there was some kind of conspiracy in the Barbarian Clan, he received a report from the spy that the vanguard of the Barbarian Clan had set up camp on the spot under the order of the prince of Barbarian Clan. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to attack.

Xueling had followed Zhou Fengmiao for so many years, but he had never seen such a strange way of war.

"Let's wait and see!" Compared to Xueling's puzzled face, Zhou Fengmiao's eyes sparkled. He seemed to have thought of something. "Barbarian Clan must be plotting something by suddenly mobilizing such a huge army. Before the situation becomes unclear, let's not act rashly. Let's wait for a while. "

"Wait?" This was the first time Xueling had heard such negative comments from Zhou Fengmiao.

"Yes, wait!" Zhou Fengmiao had no idea what kind of impact his words had on Xueling. He just stared at the blurry Barbarian Army in the distance. His eyes sparkled and he said, "Barbarian Clan has mobilized at least a million elite troops this time. Such a huge army. Just the amount of grain consumed is not a small amount. It is impossible for Barbarian Clan to drag this on."

"Therefore, we only need to wait quietly for a while. Barbarian Clan will reveal its weakness."

"Only a while? Wait for the Barbarian Clan to reveal its weakness? "
