Chapter 1982: Finale
In the end, a general gritted his teeth and looked at the general’s position. He said to Guo Bing,” Military Advisor, haven’t you heard the rumours recently?”
Guo Bing’s heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be puzzled.” Rumours? What rumours? General Liu, please explain clearly!”
However, the hand holding the doc.u.ment tightened.
General Liu said,” There are rumours outside. General…Great General…” He looked at the general.
Jun wanted to see his reaction.
Guo Bing’s eyes darkened as he said sternly,” What’s wrong with Great General? General Liu, the Great General has only been unwell for the past few days and has been resting in his tent. There is no need for everyone to worry.”
Guo Bing found an excuse to stall for time.
He believed that the Great General would definitely rush back.
Everyone was speechless.
At this moment, Deputy General w.a.n.g said with a serious expression,” Military Advisor, everyone is saying…”
“What is everyone talking about?” Guo Bing said sternly,” Didn’t you hear me? Great General is not feeling well, do not disturb Great General’s rest, get out!”
The seven generals were speechless. They looked at each other.
“Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want me to invite you out?” Guo Bing was very angry. Then, he shouted,” Men!”
Hearing that Guo Bing was really going to chase them out, the seven of them looked at each other and left immediately.
After they left, the general who had been sitting in his seat suddenly went limp.
Guo Bing frowned and reminded,” You have to be careful. We must hold on until the Great General returns!”
This ” general ” clenched his fists and said with a trembling voice,” Yes, I will be careful!”
He had also heard the rumours in the army.
Just because he heard it, he felt even more uneasy.
However, he understood the difficulty of this mission.
In the royal study of the palace, the Crown Prince reported to the Emperor very seriously,” Father, your son has received a report that a rumour has been stirred up in the Jiang family’s military camp!”
When the Emperor heard this, he frowned and asked in confusion,” Rumors? What rumours?”
The Crown Prince’s expression was a little awkward and hesitant.
“Speak!” the Emperor said sternly.
The Crown Prince said,” There’s a rumour in the camp that the Great General in the camp is not the Great General. Someone is impersonating him!”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” When the Emperor heard this, he was instantly filled with anger.” Who is spreading such rumours? Arrest them immediately and kill them! Spreading such rumours at this time, it’s obvious that they have ulterior motives!”
However, he was secretly shocked.
At this moment, the appearance of this rumour meant that Jiang Zhennan’s whereabouts might have been leaked.
“Imperial Father, please calm down!” The Crown Prince knelt down and said,” As Father said, those who spread such rumours have ill intentions. I heard that they were arrested by the military counsellor Guo Bing.”
Hearing the Crown Prince’s words, the Emperor heaved a sigh of relief.
However…
“However, the rumours spread very quickly. In less than half a day, the entire army was filled with such rumours!” The Crown Prince reported truthfully.
“What?” The Emperor stood up in shock and then sat down again.
“Father, didn’t the general go directly from Taoyuan Village? How can there be rumours that the Great General is a fake?” the Crown Prince asked.
This time, the Emperor did not hide anything from the Crown Prince. He said,” Although I don’t know how the military camp knows that the Great General with them is fake, that is the truth.”
The Crown Prince was shocked when he heard this news. His eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed,” What?”
Then, he realized that he might have overreacted. Then, he asked in confusion,” Father, if the general in the military camp is fake, then the general…”
The Emperor said,” The Great General is accompanying the Princess of the Guguo to the Black Clouds Kingdom! He is Captain Wu of the escort team.”
The Crown Prince was in disbelief when he heard the truth. He said,” This… How could this be?”
The old Emperor sighed lightly and said,” The girl is pregnant, and she has twins in her belly. Her body is heavy, and the general is very worried about her going alone. However, he himself is the Great General of our dynasty, so he can’t accompany her easily. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, they thought of having him take on another person’s ident.i.ty to stay by the girl’s side and protect her!”
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed very angry. He continued,” But who knew that Xiao Jingrui would be so shameless? He used the promise he made five years ago to have the girl go to the Black Clouds Kingdom. In the end, he hid his evil intentions and had other motives. He is really despicable and shameless!”
