354: Angels Coming
"This humble general is here," a middle-aged Military General slowly stood up.
Lin Yue, like the Generals, fixed his gaze on him.
"Do you have anything you want to explain?" General Meng Tian asked.
"Explain what?" Zhang Tianyi asked, looking bewildered.
"Alright then, where did you go during those five days you were missing?" General Meng Tian asked.
"This humble general was captured by the Xiongnu King Kun Jian during battle, then escaped when the Army counterattacked, and returned to the Encampment.
This humble general has already reported every move after being captured to Supervisor, This humble general has no connection with the Outsiders! This humble general could not possibly be an Outsider!" Zhang Tianyi explained.
"Is that so?" General Meng Tian smiled, then asked, "How did you escape?"
"This humble general was captured by King Kun Jian and suffered greatly, but This humble general always preserved his strength. When This humble general heard the shouts of the Army outside, knowing that the Army was counterattacking, he took advantage of the Xiongnu Soldier's inattention, killed him, and then fought his way out to rendezvous with the Army," Zhang Tianyi said, looking innocent.
"At that time, all the Soldiers captured with me had been tortured to death, I because..."
"Because what? Why don't you continue?" Fusu asked, looking amused.
Zhang Tianyi could no longer speak, because he saw a Qin Soldier coming towards him, his pupils suddenly widened.
"How is he still alive? When I returned to the game, weren't they all dead!" A tempestuous wave surged in Zhang Tianyi's heart!
"Great General, Young Master, the person has been brought," Luo Xi said.
"Subordinate Hu Er, greets Great General, Young Master, and all the Generals!"
"No need for formalities, just tell us what you saw and heard," General Meng Tian said in a deep voice.
"Alright, this Subordinate is under Colonel Zhang Tianyi's command, currently serving as a Centurion.
But nearly ten days ago, this Subordinate and Colonel Zhang Tianyi were captured together. In the Xiongnu prison, this Subordinate suddenly discovered that Colonel had vanished into thin air," Hu Er said, bowing, occasionally glancing at Zhang Tianyi, clearly somewhat afraid.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Fusu asked.
"Great General, Young Master, you two cannot conclude that This humble general is an Outsider based on Hu Er's one-sided story!" Zhang Tianyi shouted, his face full of grievances.
"At that time, this Subordinate was a bit panicked. After two days, an opportunity finally arose. This Subordinate took advantage of the Xiongnu guards' inattention and stole a key, then rescued his comrades. Unfortunately, after only rescuing three comrades, he was discovered by other guards.
After a chaotic fight, this Subordinate and two comrades managed to escape, but unfortunately, the other comrades all died in battle. However, all three of us can testify!" Hu Er recounted everything he had seen in detail.
"What else do you have to say?" General Meng Tian asked.
Yang Wengzi's expression was also very grim at this moment. Such an incident happening under his command made him lose face.
But he clearly had no intention of intervening, still sitting in his chair without a word.
"Do I need to call those two people over as well?" Fusu asked.
Zhang Tianyi shook his head, then gave a bitter smile: "I didn't expect to be exposed because of you few in the end."
"Take him away," General Meng Tian waved his hand, his face showing no unusual expression.
"Great General, Young Master, This humble general is guilty!" Yang Wengzi stood up and said at this moment.
"General Yang is overthinking it. This person was dispatched from Xianyang a few days ago and has nothing to do with you," Fusu comforted him.
"From Xianyang?" Lin Yue was a little puzzled.
"He came with Wei Liang from your command. They were a group of about four or five Colonels and more than ten Captains dispatched," She Jian whispered.
At the same time, he also expressed sympathy for Yang Wengzi. The person was sent by Xianyang, and no one could refuse, but something happened under his command, and he had to take the blame whether he liked it or not.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Yang Wengzi's expression remained dark.
Lin Yue secretly wondered, this Zhang Tianyi is actually an Outsider? How did an Outsider climb to the position of Colonel?
Doesn't that mean he himself is very dangerous?
A slight carelessness could lead to being surpassed by others?
Lin Yue suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It seems the players are moving very fast!
"Reporting to Great General, Zhang Tianyi is dead!" Luo Xi hurriedly ran into the main tent and said.
"How did he die?" Yang Wengzi was the first to ask.
"He vomited black blood, it looks like he was poisoned," Luo Xi said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wengzi's mood plummeted even further. If Zhang Tianyi were alive, he could still be interrogated, but now that he was dead with no evidence, he truly couldn't clear his name.
"Let him die then," General Meng Tian sighed and said to Fusu, "You write the memorial, I'll sign it. Let's end this matter here and present it to His Majesty."
"Alright," Fusu nodded.
A hint of sadness was on their faces. Zhang Tianyi's death was too strange, which caught them off guard.
An infiltrator who transformed from an ordinary Outsider to a high-ranking Great Qin general in just one year, and a Third-rate Military General sent from Xianyang City at that, there must be a mastermind behind this; no one would believe it if it were said otherwise.
But Zhang Tianyi was dead, so this matter could only be decided by His Majesty.
Although the two of them were not in high spirits,
the atmosphere in the main tent suddenly relaxed, because with this matter concluded, the Generals no longer had to be suspicious. As for Zhang Tianyi, he had few friends here to begin with, and no one cared about his life or death.
"Reporting to Great General, Young Master!
His Majesty's envoy has arrived!" A Soldier outside the tent loudly reported!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves!
The Generals completely cast aside the slight ripples from just now. Even Yang Wengzi, who had been frowning moments ago, was now all smiles!
"Generals, listen to my command!" General Meng Tian stood up and shouted, "Follow me to welcome the envoy!"
"Yes!" The Generals loudly responded!
Then everyone filed out,
Finally, the high-ranking Generals of the Great Wall Legion all gathered at the training ground!
