Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 290 Traitor

   Wuye was about to set off with his troops, when he saw Qi Shuo coming over, he asked with concern, "Why don't you take a good rest?"

   "I'll go too." Qi Shuo said concisely, his voice hoarse than it sounded yesterday.

   Wu Ye couldn't help frowning, with a look of disapproval: "You just came back after a lot of hardships, and you need to take good care of your body."

"uncle--"

   Wu Ye raised his hand and stopped Qi Shuo from continuing: "Taking up those Zhou people is not in a hurry, waiting for you to rest will give you a chance to go to the battlefield."

   Seeing his firm attitude, Qi Shuo stopped talking.

   Before leaving, Wu Ye patted Qi Shuo on the shoulder: "Don't worry, my uncle will definitely teach those **** a lesson and breathe a sigh of relief for you."

   Every general who passed by Qi Shuo said similar things, and it could be seen that they were all suffocated by the negotiation.

  Qi people have a wolf in their bones. In their opinion, this is not called negotiation at all. It is a slap in the face, and their face is swollen.

   Qi Shuo watched these people leave, and lowered his eyes to cover the worry in his eyes.

   Today's battle will definitely be a tough battle for Zhou Jun.

   He walked slowly with a preoccupied look, and unknowingly he walked farther and farther, and a personal soldier followed silently, without making a sound.

   From the point of view of the personal soldiers, it’s okay for the major general to just walk around. There is no place in this camp that the major general cannot go to. If he disturbs the major general who is thinking about his thoughts, he will be ignorant.

   Qi Shuo seemed to be wandering absent-mindedly, but in fact, he had been secretly remembering the distribution of Qiying, and finally found the most important granary.

   He didn't get close, he looked at it from a distance, then turned his steps and walked in another direction.

   It was not in his plan to set fire to the enemy's granary, but it would not hurt to find out where the granary was without raising suspicion, or to find out other key points.

  Qi Shuo was walking slowly when he heard a shout: "Major General!"

   He stomped at his feet and looked away.

   The man who called him was a man in his thirties, tall and burly, with a national character face.

   A cold light flashed across Qi Shuo's eyes.

   Northland Guardian Guan Changliang!

  The Northern Qi Dynasty was very strong at the beginning, if it hit the big Monday sap head-on, it was thanks to this person.

   After thinking about it like this, Guan Changliang came over, with a pleasing smile on his face: "Is the major general okay? I kept thinking about it yesterday. I didn't come forward because I was afraid it would affect your rest."

   As a surrendered general, although Guan Changliang made great contributions to the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was impossible for him to gain all the trust of Wu Ye, including several key battles, he was left in the camp.

   Guan Changliang is not stupid and has never expressed any resentment about it.

  Qi Shuo looked at the upright Chinese character face in front of him, and it was this person who could not be said by a Taoist in his heart.

   "It's okay." He nodded coldly.

   "Major General...Have you seen King Jing?"

  Qi Shuo looked at Guan Changliang expressionlessly, and when he saw his eyes twinkling, he raised his eyebrows: "What?"

   Guan Changliang smiled shyly: "I dealt with King Jing in the early years. Don't look at this man's rough appearance, in fact, he is thick and thin, with hills and valleys on his chest. He is not a simple person. The major general should not be deceived."

  Qi Shuo chuckled, and rarely said a long sentence: "It's true that people can't look good, didn't you remind my uncle?"

   "Naturally reminded, I was thinking that the Major General might have to deal with this person in the future, so I talked a lot."

   "Thank you."

   Seeing Qi Shuo's lukewarm appearance, Guan Changliang was a little annoyed.

   Originally thought that he had given so many benefits to Northern Qi, and he would definitely be treated with courtesy after he returned to surrender. Who knew that Emperor Qi had given him a lot of rewards, but when he arrived in the army, he could clearly feel the contempt of these people.

  For example, General Wuye, and the boy in front of him, he put his face on it, but it was a cold butt.

   "Where are you going, Major General?" Guan Changliang had these thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it at all.

  Qi Shuo glanced at him, very indifferent: "I'm bored, just walk around."

   Guan Changliang agreed with Qi Shuo's statement.

   Whoever fell into the hands of the enemy, and was finally redeemed with four generals and 700 war horses, was suffocated. For him, let alone suffocation, it is estimated that he would not be able to sleep for a month.

   To tell the truth, now he looked at Orion, as if he saw countless fat and strong horses running by in front of him.

   "Am I walking with the Major General?"

   "No need." Qi Shuo bluntly refused and walked over from Guan Changliang's side.

   He could feel a line of sight falling on him, frost condensed in his slightly drooping eyes, blocking the killing intent.

  The thief was captured first, and the king was captured first. The purpose of his infiltration into the enemy camp was to kill Wuye. But now, he also wants Guan Changliang's life.

  As the defender of the Northland, he defected to the enemy and betrayed his country, and the impact was extremely bad. Guan Changliang's surrender to the enemy is like opening the gate of some kind of bottom line, allowing more people who have moved their minds to take action.

   Guan Changliang's death is not only a punishment for his infidelity, but also a shock to those who have dissent.

   As night falls, a bonfire is raised in the camp, and the air is filled with the fragrance of wine.

   In the daytime battle, the Northern Qi side had the upper hand. Although it was not a celebration feast, the generals gathered together to drink and eat meat and enjoy a brief relaxation.

   Although Qi Shuo was not allowed to fight, he was indispensable in such occasions, so I learned something from the conversations of these people: Whenever the two armies have the upper hand in a battle, it will be so lively to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy more desperately next time.

   He held a bowl of wine to his lips, and glanced at Guan Changliang who was sitting in the corner.

   Guan Changliang stayed in the camp because he was not trusted, and the soldiers were disdainful of those who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. Whenever this happened, he was sitting on the bench.

  The bonfire is intertwined with the lights, and Qi Shuo can see the obscurity and suffocation on that face.

   Guan Changliang can't help but keep his composure, this kind of dog will inevitably show some emotions when he ignores it. And he knows that no one will pay attention to him at all, even if he doesn't control his expression for a while, it doesn't matter.

   When he turned his gaze to a pair of dark eyes, he hurriedly smiled, but he felt a little strange in his heart: What are you doing to see him? Still sitting not far from him...

   was thinking about it when he saw the young man walking over with a wine bowl and sat down beside him.

   After waiting for a moment, Qi Shuo didn't speak, but silently stared at the jumping bonfire. Guan Changliang had no choice but to break the silence: "Why doesn't the major general drink? Come, I'll give you a toast."

  The cold-looking young man looked down at the wine bowl he held up, and after a while, he touched the wine bowl in his hand, raised his head and drank it.

   At this moment, Guan Changliang couldn't help but feel a sense of flattery: he had always been cold to him, but he had been drinking with him!

   Qi Shuo put the wine bowl on the ground at will, and his eyes fell on the bonfire again.

   Guan Changliang didn't find it strange at all, but wondered about the other party's behavior to save face just now.

  Qi Shuo didn't look at him, his hoarse voice was barely audible amid the excitement: "General Guan, do you feel embarrassed?"
