Chapter 143: General Beiyan's Melon
Da Congming and Youyue acted decisively and vigorously to launch a series of careful and detailed strategic deployments. Among them, Youyue led the way and personally went to the Xiguan front to command the battle.
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Northern Yan military camp was extremely solemn and dignified. Li Hao was leading his troops on a routine patrol and defense, when suddenly he saw a panicked soldier rushing over like a gust of wind.
"Report - General Li, I just received a secret letter from you, please take a look!"
The soldier respectfully raised the letter above his head and handed it to Li Hao.
Li Hao's heart trembled. He quickly took the letter and opened it on the spot. However, he saw that the content of the letter was that someone was trying to assassinate Lu Peng under a huge ancient banyan tree outside Xiguan!
"What? This is true! Hurry to the base camp to find the general!"
Li Hao's face changed drastically, veins popped out on his forehead. He knew the situation was extremely serious and dared not delay for even a second, so he immediately gave orders in a stern voice.
After all the personal soldiers were ordered to leave, Li Hao's heart was still pounding and he could not calm down, because after a careful search, everyone was shocked to find that Lu Peng was not in the tent at all!
This made Li Hao completely confused and at a loss. This letter might be true...
Such a sudden change happened before the war officially started. If something happened to the general, how would the battle continue... Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a surge of panic and despair in his heart.
Li Hao felt mixed emotions. Panic and despair were like the claws of darkness, tightly gripping his heart.
But he knew that he was the deputy general of this battle and he had to take responsibility.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination, sweeping away the previous confusion and despair.
He called out to his men loudly, "Come here! Organize a team quickly, we are going to the banyan tree to rescue General Lu!" His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the silent night sky.
The soldiers moved upon hearing the sound and gathered quickly. Li Hao looked at them and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He knew that he was not alone, he had a loyal team fighting alongside him. Together they set out on the journey to save General Lu, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would never back down.
In the darkness of night, Li Hao led a capable team, like a nocturnal cheetah, swiftly and courageously crossing the dense forest.
They had only one goal, which was to get to the big banyan tree and rescue General Lu who was mistakenly thought to be a prisoner.
Every soldier was on edge, ready to deal with any emergency at any time, just to successfully rescue their general.
However, at the same time, under the big banyan tree, an unexpected drama was unfolding.
Lu Peng was not imprisoned. Instead, he secretly met with Qin'er, the love of his life.
"Bad guy, it's been so long since we last met!" Qin'er joked coquettishly, the moonlight shining in her watery eyes, sparkling with longing and expectation.
Lu Peng gently held Qin'er's hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yes, it's been too long. I miss you every moment."
Qin Er smiled mischievously, "So, when do you think we're going to get divorced?"
She was referring to Lu Peng's marriage to his current wife.
Lu Peng was slightly stunned. He had been avoiding this question, but at this moment, he knew he could no longer dodge: "Qin'er, I have made up my mind. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. I can't let you wait like this any longer."
As they talked, the two looked into each other's eyes, and their feelings grew stronger...
At this moment, a quick and noisy sound of footsteps and shouts came from afar. It turned out that the team led by Li Hao was gradually approaching the banyan tree.
At this moment, Lu Peng and Qin'er were still staying on the huge banyan tree.
When Li Hao and the group of people following him finally arrived under the big banyan tree, they found that the surrounding environment was extremely quiet and there was no trace of General Lu at all.
So they began to spread out and search carefully, but in the end they found nothing, not even the slightest clue.
Li Hao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that the news itself was wrong? Or was it that General Lu had already been moved away by the enemy?
But even so, they did not choose to give up and continued searching.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly: "General Li, please come and have a look, General Lu's clothes are actually here!"
Everyone gathered around and saw that General Lu's battle robe was indeed placed on the ground, and there was also a set of women's clothes next to it. Li Hao stared at the women's clothes and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, but he couldn't remember the details for a while.
He looked around, trying to find more clues. Under the big banyan tree, the moonlight shone through the treetops onto the ground, making it look mottled. A breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if telling some secret.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Li Hao's mind. He looked up at the branches of the banyan tree and saw a familiar figure. It was Qin'er, who was hiding on the branches, carefully observing them. Moreover, Lu Peng was beside them.
Li Hao was also a stubborn person. He exploded right on the spot. His wife had cheated on him, and...
Anger and a sense of betrayal intertwined, causing him to lose his mind in an instant. He quickly raised the knife in his hand, pointed it at Lu Peng, and shouted angrily: "You two bastards!"
Lu Peng and Qin'er were stunned by this sudden change.
"Li Hao, listen to my explanation..." Lu Peng tried to calm Li Hao's anger, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Hao's roar.
"Explanation? What else is there to explain? You two betrayed me, how can I trust you!" Li Hao's eyes were bloodshot and his voice became hoarse due to anger.
At this time, Li Hao had completely fallen into a frenzy. He waved the knife in his hand and approached Lu Peng and Qin'er step by step. Lu Peng and Qin'er retreated step by step, trying to find a chance to escape.
The soldiers on the side were all Li Hao's confidants. At this moment, they all stood on Li Hao's side. After all, it was really disgusting that Lu Peng did such a thing.
Lu Peng stared at Li Hao closely, trying to find a breakthrough. He knew that he could only rely on himself to save the situation.
He quickly glanced at his surroundings and found a wooden stick not far away, and he came up with an idea.
"Li Hao, do you really want to do this?" Lu Peng tried to distract Li Hao with words, "You know that this is a serious sin."
"Haha, do you think I'm scared?" Li Hao grinned, "You will die today!"
As he said that, he swung his knife at Lu Peng. Lu Peng dodged the knife flexibly by leaning sideways, and then took the opportunity to grab the wooden stick. He swung the stick hard and smashed it hard on Li Hao's wrist, and the knife flew out of his hand.
Li Hao screamed in pain and took a few steps back. Seeing this, the soldiers drew their swords and rushed towards Lu Peng...
