Queen is fearless

Chapter 657

The border is an important place in a country, and there will often be 'imperial envoys' or supervisors sent by the emperor to inspect it.

For the lieutenants, it is a good thing that someone comes at this time, because the main general is missing.

With the presence of the supervising army, it can stabilize the morale of the army and calm down the minds of the soldiers.

"Zhou Rui." The one riding the horse was none other than King Rui. He will come to the border, and he was indeed appointed by the emperor. It is really not short to say this.

"This king is ordered by the emperor to come to inspect the border. Where is General Gu?" King Rui knew that the general at the border was Gu Anzhi, and he had already returned to the border.

At this time, King Rui was full of resentment. Of course, it was not directed at Gu Anzhi, but at the emperor.

If he hadn't lost the bet with the emperor, he wouldn't have come to the border at this time. It seemed that the Chinese New Year was coming, and considering the itinerary, he could only pass the border this year.

"My lord, please go to the city to talk?" King Rui asked Gu Anzhi, the lieutenant who had been following him all the time, with a sad face, he saluted King Rui and invited him to enter the border.

Looking at his appearance, he knew that there was something inside. King Rui responded, followed several lieutenants, entered the border gate, and went straight to the general's mansion.

What did King Rui feel about the atmosphere in the border gate? He didn't ask any further questions, and only waited for someone to answer after he arrived at the General's Mansion.

Inside the border, there is a post house specially for entertaining envoys from other countries, as well as the supervising troops sent by the central government. King Rui wants to live in the general's mansion, so naturally no one has any objections.

Arriving at the General's Mansion, he ordered the team he brought to settle down. He sat at the head of the main hall and ordered everyone else to sit down.

"Now, tell me, what happened?" Obviously, something happened in the border, and it was related to the general.

"Report to the lord, General Gu...he is missing." The deputy general stood up, took a step forward, saluted King Rui, and told him the ins and outs of the incident.

"A few days have passed. I have been sending people to search, but they have not found it. It is suspected that the general and his wife... have been killed."

He went to see it on purpose, and the last trace appeared on a cliff, which was easily invisible because of the trees covering it.

But when he can see it, the person will fall down, I'm afraid it's... more ominous than good.

"Have you sent a letter to the capital?" King Rui didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Fortunately, he came in time.

"The letter has been delivered, but the distance between the capital and the border, I'm afraid it will take a while before I can receive it."

The lieutenant quickly responded and said to King Rui.

King Rui's fingers tapped on the table, his gaze slowly passed over the faces of the lieutenants.

For a moment, he paused, stared at it a few times, and then withdrew his gaze.

Perhaps in King Rui's mind, he didn't have any idea, but he frightened the lieutenant who was stared at by him.

He was none other than the deputy general who was in charge of going out of the city to search for Gu Anzhi and Yuning before, with a strange expression on his face.

"This king knows about it." King Rui summoned someone and ordered a letter to be sent to the capital, and he had to report to the emperor about his arrival at the border.

"Right now, do you know where Xuan Guo's team is?" After asking, King Rui recruited a few more people, all of whom were his confidantes, and ordered them to bring the seals he had prepared a long time ago to gather soldiers.

Obviously, since Xuanguo came again, he must not be kind. King Rui even thought about it, and simply took the initiative to attack Xuanguo.

A bad thing, after a hundred years, is still endless, it is really intolerable.

What's more, there was an accident with the chief border officer who was also implicated, and that was Brother Huang's right-hand man.

"By the way, continue to search for General Gu's location. If you are born, you must see a person, and if you die, you must see a corpse."

King Rui felt that since he hadn't seen the corpse yet, it meant there was still a glimmer of hope and he couldn't give up.

"Don't worry, my lord. Before the body is found, the subordinates will never give up." The lieutenant spoke again. On weekdays, he had the closest relationship with Gu Anzhi, and the several lieutenants were very convinced of him.

If there is no accident, after making military achievements, he will be named a general.

"Xuan Guo's soldiers must be outside the border, but I don't know where they are hiding. During this time, I will take people to continue searching outside the border."

"The tunnel that was discovered before has been filled in. When the general was there, he once told the general that there is a tribe that is good at raising horses and digging holes. Master Gu's injury is inseparable from that tribe."

King Rui will stay at the border, and the deputy general will report all useful news to him and let him know, so that it will be convenient for him to make a better decision.

I won't be blindsided when something happens.

"Do you know where the tribe is? How big is it? If you send people, how many people will it take to destroy them or subdue them?"

Since Xuanguo can use the tribes to deal with them, so can they.

It's just a small tribe, and Da Zhou doesn't take it seriously.

"The last general sent someone to investigate. I think there will be news in the next few days." Gu Anzhi had ordered to investigate before, but there is no news so far, but it is estimated that it will be soon.

King Rui nodded, and asked a few more questions, leaving only the lieutenant who kept replying, and the rest signaled them to back down.

"My lord has something to tell me." Although the chief general is not there, but with the overseer, he is still the lord, and he has the backbone at the border.

The lieutenant general's heart felt a lot more at ease. Before the main general came back, he would obey King Rui's orders.

"What's the last name of the lieutenant who was sitting there just now? What's his origin?" After thinking for a while, King Rui pointed to the chair where a lieutenant was sitting just now, and asked the person in front of him.

Hearing King Rui's question, the deputy general thought for a while, "That's Deputy General Sun. He has been at the border for several years. He is from the other side of the river. He and the last general are not fellow villagers, but they joined the army together."

"Why did your lord ask him?" the deputy general asked with some doubts.

"What about you? What's your last name?" There were so many people that King Rui could remember all at once, but he really... couldn't remember.

"My lord, the last general's surname is Liu, and he's from Yushan." He was still confused at first, but when he asked himself again, Deputy General Liu guessed that it was King Rui who couldn't remember him.

"This king knows, you go down too, if something happens, this king will send someone to look for you."

With an order, when Deputy General Liu left, King Rui sat on a chair, summoned his confidants, and ordered them to secretly observe the several lieutenants in the border.

When he saw them just now, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart that there must be something wrong with it.

After all his subordinates went down, thinking about the disappearance of Gu Anzhi and his wife, he felt a little headache, and couldn't help but slapped his forehead with his hand.

If I had been smarter and had won against Brother Huang back then, it would not be him who came to the border now, but another adult.

However, he lost and had to come by himself, but he encountered such a thing.

The disappearance of the main general is not a trivial matter. The enemy army is watching, this is... terrible!
