My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Chapter 246 Undercurrent surging

Quan Liangpeng was full of doubts. He bent down, picked up the medicine jar, turned his head and looked around. He called out to the patrol soldier passing by and asked, "Who sent this?"

The patrolling soldier shook his head and said, "I didn't see his face clearly. He looked like a strange soldier. I thought he was a soldier who admired General Quan."

Quan Liangpeng looked a little surprised. He waved to the patrolling soldier, indicating that he understood, and then turned back to the tent. He touched the ointment in his hand, opened the jar and smelled it. This was not an ordinary medicine for treating injuries.

How could an ordinary soldier have such a good thing? The person who delivered the medicine must be just an errand boy.

Quan Liangpeng was thinking for a moment as he took the ointment. Then the deputy general's voice rang out from outside the tent. Wen Datai came in and said, "General, I brought back the medicine!"

Wen Datai was stunned when he saw the ointment in Quan Liangpeng's hand. He approached him and asked in confusion, "When did the general go to get the medicine?"

"Someone else sent it to me." Quan Liangpeng glanced at Wen Datai, then turned around and told him to apply the medicine on him. He said, "Keep an eye on these people to see if there are any suspicious people approaching the camp. If they do, don't alert them."

"Send someone to keep an eye on it secretly and find out who it is and report back to me." Quan Liangpeng said.

"Yes." Wen Datai quickly agreed, and then asked with some doubt: "General, are you worried that there are spies in the army, or do you think that Lang Weiye will send people to trip us up in secret?"

"Neither." Quan Liangpeng shook his head, but didn't mean to say more.

Wen Datai didn't ask any more questions. While helping Quan Liangpeng apply the ointment, he couldn't help but whispered, "This ointment has a light floral fragrance when applied. Good things are made with care."

At that time, Quan Liangpeng didn't take this seriously at all. After giving the medicine, he let Wen Datai go first.

There are many disagreements among subordinates. The higher the position one holds, the more difficult it is to balance and control his subordinates. Since Quan Liangpeng and Lang Weiye have already developed a rift, if the matter is not resolved in time, it will only grow day by day. How could Min Wenshan, who has led the army for many years, not know the pros and cons?

It was obvious that he deliberately ignored Quan Liangpeng and only came in person two days later with a valuable gift prepared.

He used his usual style of speech, his words were full of respect for Quan Liangpeng, and he also mentioned indirectly that the current situation forced the prince to establish his authority, and he had to make some achievements no matter what.

He cried and told Quan Liangpeng about his difficulties, hoping that Quan Liangpeng could understand him, and emphasized that he treated Quan Liangpeng like a brother.

It's okay to say these words once, but if you say them repeatedly the effect may not be so good. After saying these empty words so many times, Quan Liangpeng would be unhappy even if he was a fool. Min Wenshan has used the method of giving a sweet reward after a slap in the face too many times.

And use it on Quan Liangpeng more...

In the past, Quan Liangpeng would always be persuaded by him and reflect on whether he had done something wrong, but after this happened again and again, how could he still listen?

"I deeply appreciate the general's painstaking efforts." Although Quan Liangpeng felt a little depressed, he was still polite in front of Min Wenshan.

"I know that Liangpeng understands me the best." Min Wenshan was deeply moved. He patted Quan Liangpeng on the shoulder and said, "When this war is over and the prince succeeds to the throne, I will personally recommend merit for General Quan and will never treat him unfairly!"

"I am already satisfied with what the general said! I will certainly serve you." Quan Liangpeng stood up as usual and bowed to Min Wenshan.

Min Wenshan said a few more nice words, and when he saw Quan Liangpeng's smile, he finally felt relieved. He then stood up and left.

However, after Min Wenshan left, Quan Liangpeng could not help but frowning, as if he was struggling. He had followed Min Wenshan for too long. If it had not been for Min Wenshan's support, he would not be where he is today.

It is precisely because of this that he gives in and compromises again and again.

Today, even though he has already felt that Min Wenshan treats him differently, after listening to Min Wenshan's words, he can't help but struggle in his heart, thinking, is it really true that he does not have the ability to lead?

"General, General!" Just as he was thinking, he saw Wen Datai running over in a hurry, and said in an anxious tone: "I just heard that the general summoned General Lang to discuss matters privately. It seems that he wants to send General Lang out of the camp as the main force?"

"Several other generals have already gone to see General Lang. General..." Wen Datai had an awkward look on his face.

“When did it happen?!” Quan Liangpeng’s heart sank and he asked quickly.

"It was this morning." Wen Datai said quickly, "I just heard from several soldiers in the water tent that everyone else knew about this, except our camp. What does the general mean by this?"

The little bit of struggle that was left in Quan Liangpeng's heart suddenly disappeared at this moment. It turned out that Min Wenshan had already arranged the strategic deployment long ago, but he was the only one left out!

But just now he was pretending to talk about how difficult it was for him, but he didn't even tell him any information about how he made this decision.

How does this look like treating him as a brother?

The more Quan Liangpeng thought about it, the angrier he became. Fortunately, he had just had a moment to think that maybe he really didn't have the ability to lead an army.

"This is simply outrageous!" Quan Liangpeng suddenly kicked over the table in front of him, but the kick also aggravated his injuries and his face turned pale with pain.

While Quan Liangpeng was furious, Yingli saw Min Wenshan coming back to the camp and considerately offered him hot tea and snacks. Min Wenshan sat down and saw this, raised his eyebrows and said happily, "You are becoming more considerate now."

Min Wenshan looked at Yingli's face and suddenly became interested. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms and said, "It seems that you have figured it out after this incident."

Yingli held Min Wenshan's shoulders with her hands. Naturally, she understood what Min Wenshan meant. She tilted her head slightly and lowered her eyes and said, "I know that I have no one to rely on except you, my Lord."

Min Wenshan was very satisfied with Yingli's words. His big hands roamed around her waist. Just as he was about to carry the beauty into the tent, he suddenly heard a noise outside. Min Wenshan paused and turned around and asked, "What's the noise outside?"

"General, someone has died in the water tent..." The soldier who delivered the message in front looked at Min Wenshan who was holding the beauty in his arms in the camp, and did not dare to look up.

"What!?" Min Wenshan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately pushed Yingli away and began to ask about what happened in the water tent.

It was nothing more than a verbal dispute, which ended in a fight.

Such things happen a lot in the army, but they are just brothers in the same tent who are angry for a moment and would not kill each other. Moreover, military regulations prohibit fighting with weapons. In such a situation, someone could be killed, which shows that the matter is not small.

Min Wenshan asked who the troublemakers were, and then learned that the murderer was under Quan Liangpeng's command, and the victim was under Lang Weiye's command.

"General, please spare my life!" After Min Wenshan had his men pushed forward, he looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. He said in a daze that it was the man who provoked him first, poured water on him, and even said insulting words to General Lang.

"I wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but he secretly killed me!"

"General! I didn't do it on purpose!"

Just as that person was crying, Lang Weiye also came over after hearing the sound. He had a very ugly expression on his face. With a gloomy face, he first greeted Min Wenshan and then looked at the person kneeling below.

Quan Liangpeng arrived slowly, supported by Wen Datai. As soon as he arrived, he heard Lang Weiye accusing him. His words were naturally indignant for his own people. After all, the murderers were Quan Liangpeng's subordinates. However, his subordinates said that it was not intentional, but the result of a counterattack.

But to Lang Weiye, it seemed as if he had intentionally instigated it.

The two had another dispute over this matter, and later Quan Liangpeng even suspected that Lang Weiye had deliberately designed it and let his subordinates kill people!

"Enough!" Min Wenshan had reached the limit of his patience in recent days because of dealing with the two people's affairs. He shouted angrily: "The death of the person is the ironclad evidence!"

"Drag him away and deal with him according to military rules!"

"..."

Quan Liangpeng was completely frozen in place. He suddenly clenched his fists and stared at Min Wenshan. Finally, he lowered his head with almost gritted teeth.

The one who was punished was his brother who had been with him through thick and thin for many years, and who had blocked a knife for him!

Standing at the back, Yingli watched the scene in front of her with satisfaction, her pretty face slowly curling up the corners of her lips. She clearly saw the hatred bursting out from Quan Liangpeng's eyes, which were like those of a wild beast in shackles.

Min Wenshan raised his hand with a headache and told everyone to get out. Even Yingli was driven away. It was obvious that Min Wenshan no longer had any interest in the show.

Yingli lowered her head obediently and walked out of the tent. When passing by Quan Liangpeng, she slightly turned sideways, knelt down and nodded to Quan Liangpeng, then left gracefully.

Quan Liangpeng was stunned and frowned as he stared at Yingli's back. He didn't remember any intersection between him and this woman. When Yingli was still called Mingxi, she had an aloof look. Why was she greeting him now?

Even if you want to curry favor, you should curry favor with Lang Weiye.

Quan Liangpeng couldn't help but turn his head when thinking of Lang Weiye, and saw him walking away with a group of people in a majestic manner, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

There were undercurrents in the Qi army camp, but at this time Zong Yanli was sparring with several generals.

"My hands are shaking and numb..." Lu Hao looked at Zong Yanli who was fighting fiercely with Long Feiguang on the field with a pale face, and said in confusion: "General, what happened?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the general might be trying to find a way to solve the hidden danger of Xue Liqing." Pei Liang glanced at him and thought to himself, fortunately he is not a military general...

"If we can't even defeat the general, how can we be his opponent?" Lu Hao smiled bitterly. In just these two days, not only him, but even Jie Hu, who was good at archery, was not spared and they took turns to fight him.

Zong Yanli and Long Feiguang separated briefly on the field. Long Feiguang shook the sword in his hand, took a deep breath and looked at Zong Yanli.

Zong Yanli put away his sword and stood still. He looked at Long Feiguang in confusion and raised his eyebrows and said, "General Long, are you getting old? Why do I feel that fighting you is not as difficult as before?"

Long Feiguang, who is almost forty years old: "..."

Although he has to admit it, his energy is indeed not as good as before. You have to know that Long Feiguang was twenty-five or twenty-six years old when he met Zong Yanli, and at his peak he met Zong Yanli who was in his teens.

He was not able to defeat her then, but now...

It was the first time for the brothers Yan Yingshan and Zhu Jin to see their eldest brother drinking alone. Both of them seemed to be hesitant to speak. They wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to start, so they could only watch silently from behind.

At times like this, they would miss their third brother especially. If the third brother were still alive, he would definitely be able to comfort their eldest brother.

Looking at his second brother again, he was standing aside woodenly with a halberd in his arms, and his fourth brother had disappeared. Yan Yingshan suddenly felt that they were a bit like children without a mother. What should he do?

Zong Yanli had no idea that she had severely hurt Long Feiguang. She was already making preparations to go to Kangzhou County and start a war with Qi State again.

"General Zong Yan, Sai Ya has returned with a letter!" Just when Zong Yanli was making careful arrangements, Sai Ya finally delivered the letter.

"Really?" Zong Yanli showed joy on his face and immediately invited Duzhe in.

Du Zhe's face was also full of joy. He did not stop at all and directly sent it to Zong Yanli. After entering the tent, he said, "General, the matter is settled!"

The content of the letter was very simple. It basically told Zong Yanli that she had contacted Min Wenshan's daughter Min Xueer, and learned that Min Wenshan did have plans to let Min Xueer marry Xue Liqing, but Min Xueer had never agreed and resisted very painfully.

Then--

"Saya kidnapped Min Xueer!?" After seeing the end of the letter, Zong Yanli was instantly confused.

"The military strategy you guys in the Central Plains talk about is called replacing the prince with a cat." Du Zhe was very proud. He felt that his princess was so amazing that she could do such a thing while in Qi State and had never been discovered!

"..."

Zong Yanli took a deep breath and waited a moment. She needed to sort out her thoughts.

This was not what Zong Yanli had thought of at the beginning!

She frowned in a headache and said in confusion, "If they kidnapped him, wouldn't Xue Liqing go crazy and attack us?"

Du Zhe stared, thought for a moment and said, "We can use Min Xueer as a threat to force Xue Liqing to surrender!"

Zong Yanli almost laughed out of anger after hearing this, and sighed helplessly and said, "It's true that Xue Liqing likes Min Xueer, but I don't think Xue Liqing would be so stupid for a woman, and a woman he didn't even get."

"There are so many beauties in this world. If you can surrender like this..." The State of Qi is too ridiculous.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. I need to think carefully about my next move." Zong Yanli put the letter down. Things had already happened and the people had been abducted. It was too late to say anything now. Even if he sent the people back, it would only alert the enemy. Min Wenshan would surely think of his own purpose, so this move would be wasted.
