Nemesis is Coming - C133

Once I left the village that was burnt to ashes, I started to continue heading towards the Luo City.

At noon on the second day, I caught up with He Xiaotong and the others. Everyone was very happy to see me return.

I was distressed that these people had only come so far. If we continue on like this, it would take at least half a month for us to reach the Luo City.

When I returned to the group, I led them forward. I couldn’t really be blamed on them, with a group of Old Man’s old grannies by their side, they couldn’t even walk down the main road.

We safely managed to finish the rest of the journey that took half a month, and finally reached the Luo City.

Everyone cheered as He Tuan quickly arranged for them to enter a temporary shelter.

I saw that the He Tuan’s face was haggard, as if he had not slept for three days and three nights.

He Xiaotong affectionately wrapped her arms around his, causing the He Tuan to reveal a smile.

I feel that it’s strange, shouldn’t He Tuan be wild with joy when he sees He Xiaotong coming back?

However, even though he looked happy, he was clearly frowning. Could it be that something had happened to this guy?

I didn’t meddle in other people’s business. I guessed that this old fogey was quarreling with his wife.

I greeted him and He Xiaotong. He Tuan looked at me with a complicated gaze, as if he wanted to thank me, but felt that it wasn’t appropriate. In the end, he said, “Forget it, let’s just split up.”

I was very confused, but I didn’t understand what he meant.

I didn’t have the leisure to think about it in the end, so I returned to the army camp.

The first person I saw when I returned to the camp was Wang Yan.

She smiled at me when she saw me coming. I hear you’ve been on leave for a month. I didn’t expect to be back so soon.

It seems that General Han Xifei did not tell anyone where I went.

Wang Yan continued to laugh: General Han Xifei said that after you return, you will resume your previous position as the Second Battalion Commander.

When I heard that it’s the best news in a month, I don’t need to be that Evil Woman’s guard anymore.

After chatting with Wang Yan for a while longer, I returned to my tent.

There was a lot of dust in my tent. Obviously, it had been a long time since someone had taken care of it, so I started to clean it up myself.

He had just finished cleaning up and was about to lie down on his bed to rest. Wang Yan walked in from the door and I immediately sat up.

She was holding a new uniform in her hand, and she said to me, I got this from the quartermaster. Look at your clothes, you look like a beggar.

I scratched my head, embarrassed, and thanked her.

When I asked about the Second Battalion, she smiled and said, I’ve been training. Occasionally he even went out to sweep up the enemy scouts. Right now, the combat prowess of the Second Battalion was not bad. Other than the 1st Battalion, there shouldn’t be any other Battalion that can compare to us.

I smiled and said, “I have truly wronged you for making you my Vice Battalion Commander.”

She shook her head and said, “When you led the village, the morale of the soldiers made the training more active. That’s why we have such combat strength.” None of this has much to do with me.

This girl was indeed very likeable, no wonder Da Niu and Mouse had such a good impression of him.

We chatted for a while longer, and then I realized that there were already 6,000 of us in the army. It was now divided into three regiments.

The leader of the first squadron was Luo Sha, and at the same time, the first battalion was her direct subordinate.

As for our Second Battalion, we are also part of Luo Sha’s group of managers. When I heard this, all of the happiness I had from before vanished, I am now still Luo Sha’s soldier.

And the second and third groups were temporarily led by two generals that Han Xifei had poached from Long Dan’s side.

I am confused as to why Han Xifei is fighting with Long Dan’s men.

Hearing Wang Yan talk about Long Dan, I asked: Is Long Dan okay?

Wang Yan seemed to be tired of standing, so she sat beside me and said: “Don’t you know?” Long Dan had died in battle.

I wasn’t surprised when I heard it. Han Xifei had told me about this result a long time ago.

Wang Yan said in a low voice: Then surely you don’t know the rumors in the city?

I shook my head doubtfully. What rumor?

Wang Yan looked around, and then smacked her lips in front of my ear, and I felt her breath on my neck, warm.

He only heard her whispering: There was a rumor in the city that the mayor and the He Tuan knew that it was dangerous outside the city, and they still allowed Long Dan to bring only 2000 people out of the city. Right now, many of Long Dan’s subordinates were extremely furious.

When I heard these words, I felt that the eyes of the masses were still bright, this was indeed the mayor trying to kill Long Dan.

It’s just that I feel that this matter has nothing to do with He Tuan, he probably doesn’t know anything, so he shouldn’t use his own daughter as a pawn.

I asked again, Did the mayor and the others come out to fend off the rumors?

Wang Yan nodded her head and said: Yes, but the ruckus in Long Dan’s army was extremely bad, and she threatened to not give an explanation if she continued. They were going to directly take over the City Hall.

I was a little surprised when I heard this. Had things turned out this way?

I then asked Wang Yan: Did General Han Xifei say anything?

Wang Yan said: “Didn’t you notice that General Han Xifei is not in the army camp?

I think that I also didn’t see General Han Xifei. I have to report to her later.

Seeing my appearance, Wang Yan was sure that I did not know, so she continued: The mayor got the title of a big general from General Han Xifei, in addition, she is not from the Luo City. The mayor wanted her to resolve the anger of Long Dan’s troops. Therefore, General Han Xifei was in the city these few days.

I thought that even General Han Xifei was involved? Could there be any danger?

Seeing my worry, Wang Yan said: After General Han Xifei’s efforts over the past few days, Long Dan’s old tribe finally calmed down a little.

I was relieved to hear that.

I chatted about military matters with Wang Yan for a while longer until dusk before she finally left.

The mayor, I thought, that wily fellow, was a thief after all.

Maybe he didn’t think that Long Dan’s subordinates would be so loyal.

But then again, if Long Dan wasn’t too arrogant, he wouldn’t have died.

The mayor had asked him to lead two thousand men out of the city. He could have refused, but he had agreed.

Moreover, Long Dan was the teacher and commander of a division, and his army had long surpassed a division.

All he wanted was to show off his courage by leaving the city. How many people he wanted to take out of the city was entirely up to him.

However, Long Dan’s death was all blamed on the mayor and the others. This was a little unreasonable.

And from what I see, Long Dan isn’t a very popular general, his subordinates shouldn’t be so angry.

I kept feeling that something was strange, but I couldn’t make heads or tails of it, so I stopped thinking about it.

The next morning, news came from the Luo City that the mayor’s entire family had died from poison, and the person who poisoned them was He Tuan.

There was a rumor that the mayor and the He Tuan had joined hands to kill Long Dan in an attempt to seize military power.

But when Long Dan died, the mayor and the He Tuan did not succeed in their plans, and the two of them went against each other. So the He Tuan tried to kill the mayor.

Originally, He Tuan was only suspected, but right now, he had already escaped with his daughter He Xiaotong. This only served to further confirm that he had poisoned the mayor’s family.

And his wife, for that matter. He was killed by angry soldiers as soon as he arrived at the company this morning.

This news greatly shocked me. The three most important officials of Luo City, whether they were alive or dead, as well as how to escape. Luo City was going to change the weather.

But I still thought that I was worried about He Xiaotong, that girl must be fine.
