Guo Linchong patrolled with other teams outside the general's tent, and the lieutenant personally came to guard him. Although he was not arranged by the general, the others still regarded him as the team leader, and they followed his arrangements, and carried out the defense work in an orderly manner.Guo Linchong himself had no intention of being lazy, he and his capable confidantes took turns guarding the whole night, and this night was safe and sound.

After all, even Xue Ziqin didn't get the information in advance. It can be seen that although the eldest prince asked the emperor to come here, his whereabouts along the way were not ostentatious. Guo Linchong felt relieved about this.They don't know when the First Prince will come, so if there is someone who wants to assassinate the First Prince, they may not be able to get the information.

At daybreak, Jiang also came out of the tent and stretched himself in the cool morning mist.He managed to coax Cen Lixuan to sleep again, but he no longer felt sleepy.All the people patrolling outside seemed to be in good spirits, and Jiang also went out, wanting to wash his face, and happened to see the sleepy Guo Linchong walking towards him.

It is estimated that it is also to wash the face, because the water tank is here.

"Morning, Deputy General Guo."

"Ah, um, it's early." Guo Linchong had only slept for an hour and a half, and he didn't get enough sleep at all, "You woke up too early."

"It's okay." Jiang Ye replied casually, "Vice General Guo must have worked hard, he must not have slept for long."

"Yes, but there's no other way. It's the responsibility." Guo Linchong also smiled at the river, and the two walked side by side while wiping the water from their faces, chatting.

"I didn't sleep much last night."

"Oh?"

"It's just that I didn't sleep well." Jiang Ye said.

The sky hadn't fully brightened yet, and the morning star could still be seen shining faintly in the sky. Guessing that Cen Lizhen would not get up for a while, Jiang simply followed Guo Linchong to the fire in front of the general's tent and sat down.

Guo Linchong actually had a good impression of Jiang Ye. Ever since Xue Ziqin wanted to take Jiang Ye to support Qin Guan a few years ago, he and Jiang Ye had a little friendship, and they were sitting together in front of the general's tent. Wake up, and you won't feel that there is anything wrong.

But Jiang didn't think so.

Compared with Wei Lin, Jiang also has an advantage that is not considered an advantage - Wei Lin always has a lot of expressions and emotions, but Jiang Ye mostly looks cold in front of others.In the past, it was only thought that the two had different personalities, but on closer inspection, if Wei Lin wanted to conceal something, he had to act very hard; but Jiang also only needed to maintain his usual indifferent face, so that others would not be able to notice the slightest bit.

Just like now, Jiang Ye looked indifferent, sitting next to Guo Linchong and chatting with him, no one could see that Jiang Ye was actually full of suspicion.

"How was it last night?" Jiang Ye asked casually.

"Fortunately," Guo Linchong looked back, half of the guards were still dozing off, "It's nothing serious, the eldest prince also went to bed early."

Jiang also glanced in the direction he was looking, not only the guards were outside, but also the eldest prince's attendants were also outside.At this time, several people have already woken up, probably because they are used to serving, and they have to get up earlier.Jiang also asked, "Does the First Prince's entourage sleep in the tent with him?"

"I don't know either. It's probably the eldest prince's order." Guo Linchong turned back and said, "Anyway, he rested early in the morning yesterday, and he didn't have anyone to serve him. The entourage is arranged outside, and the eldest prince will naturally call if he has any orders." of."

"Too."

The two chatted a few words, and just when they were silent, a certain attendant of the eldest prince passed in front of them, still holding a basin in his hand.Jiang also guessed that he was going to fetch some washing water for the First Prince, so he looked in the direction the man was going. Not long after, as Jiang also expected, the attendant walked back with a full water basin, all the way to the entrance of the general's tent.

Jiang also looked away from him, just about to test Guo Linchong about the jade pendant, but before he could speak, a sharp scream came from the general's tent.

"what--"

Jiang Ye and Guo Linchong looked back at the general's tent at the same time. The curtain was closed tightly. After the scream, all the guards who were still dozing around were awakened, and then they saw the attendant who had fetched water before hurriedly opened the curtain and charged. When he came out, panting heavily, he shouted to someone: "Come on, something happened! Something happened!"

Before Jiang Ye got up, Guo Linchong had already got up and walked over there, Jiang Ye followed not far behind him.

Guo Linchong strode up to the tent, opened the curtain and took a look inside, his expression became very serious immediately, and he didn't go inside again, so that Jiang followed behind and saw nothing.

"All the guards, as well as the First Prince's entourage, all assemble, no one is missing!"

"Yes!"

Jiang also looked at the situation and guessed that something serious happened.

After Guo Linchong said this, the confidant who often followed him immediately went to organize the assembly and count the number of people, and Guo Linchong entered the general's account.

With Jiang Ye's mind, he can guess why the First Prince came to the Northern Army with his toes.Right now, something is wrong with the First Prince. Although we don't know what the problem is for the time being, it is obvious that no matter if it is a big or small matter, as long as something happens to the Northern Army, the Xue family is duty-bound to do so... In addition, it was accidentally found out from Guo Linchong's tent. If the jade pendant is really what Jiang Ye thought, then Guo Linchong is most likely responsible for the problem of the eldest prince.

Jiang also hesitated for a moment. Anyway, no one was paying attention to him now, so he followed Guo Linchong in to see what happened.One is because of curiosity, and the other is because if Guo Linchong has a ghost, it is not impossible to go in and check it alone, saying that he wants to destroy the evidence.

The two entered the camp with their front and back feet, and when Jiang also entered, Guo Linchong was already squatting on the ground, and next to him was the eldest prince who was lying on the ground with strange movements.He didn't think too much about it, so he hurried up to help, and together with Guo Linchong turned him over.The first prince's mouth and nose were covered in black blood, his eyes were closed tightly, and his complexion was a strange blue color.

Guo Linchong took his hand, probing it with three fingers skillfully for a moment, then shook his head: "Dead."

"Surely no outsiders came last night?" Jiang Ye asked.

Guo Linchong pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, then shook his head: "Definitely not."

"That is

Those who have entered the camp. "Jiang Ye said, "This must be a poisoning, let's start with the person who delivered the food." "

When Jiang also said this, he was quietly observing Guo Linchong's expression.He not only hoped to see some flaws in Guo Linchong's face, so that he could confirm Guo Linchong's identity as a traitor in his heart; he also hoped that Guo Linchong had nothing unusual, and that the ear of the jade pendant just happened to be similar, nothing else.

To put it bluntly, he was also a comrade-in-arms who fought together on the battlefield, and Jiang also sincerely hoped that he was overthinking.

Guo Linchong put down the eldest prince's hand, stood up by himself, looked at Jiang Ye and said, "Go and call Zhong Yi over, everyone who has a chance to strike is outside, I will never let you go!"

"Okay." Jiang also nodded, and the two walked out together.

The person who first found out about the eldest prince's accident has been taken down by Guo Linchong, and the people outside have been surrounded by Guo Linchong's cronies.

While waiting for Zhong Yi to come over, more than 20 people were surrounded by [-] people who had just been transferred with knives. It can be seen from one point that the First Prince must have had an accident.

Jiang Ye didn't go directly to Zhong Yi, he went back to his camp first.Zhao Zhinan and Jia Da were still sleeping in the tent, Jiang Ye went up and grabbed their arms one by one, shaking them violently: "Wake up! Wake up!"

"Uh-huh?"

"Um……??"

The two burly men woke up dimly, very nervous by the sudden interruption, but when they opened their eyes and saw Jiang Ye's face, they relaxed instantly.

"What's the matter..." Jia Da rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Something happened, get up quickly." Jiang Ye said, "Something happened."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhinan was unambiguous. Hearing Jiang also say the same, he had already got up from the bunk and asked as he pulled the clothes on.

"This matter is very complicated, Jia Da, go and ask Zhong Yi to come to the general's tent." Jiang Ye quickly gave the two tasks, "Zhao Zhinan, you go to the general... wait, you go to Deputy General Min, It should be on Vice General Zhou's side, and let Vice General Min quickly inform the general that something happened to the eldest prince."

After Jiang also finished speaking, he turned around and left again.

The remaining two big men looked at me and I looked at you. After watching for a while, they immediately began to dress, and then went out as Jiang Ye ordered.

Jiang also returned to Guo Linchong's place again, but this time he did not go there, but found a corner that was not easy to detect and observed secretly.Not long after, Jia Da brought Zhong Yi over. Guo Linchong didn't say a single word of nonsense, and looked really anxious. He grabbed Zhong Yi's hand and dragged him into the general's tent, and they both came out after a cup of tea.

After Xue Changfeng and Xue Ziqin both left the general's tent, there were very few people who entered the general's tent last night, and they were all the entourage of the First Prince himself. One of them entered empty-handed and left empty-handed. Guo Linchong remembered this very clearly.During this period, the eldest prince used meals, which were sent by Min Qiu and handed over to the first prince's entourage.

Guo Linchong raised his eyes and looked at the group of people in front of him. The guards might be bribed to do things that would harm the Xue family, but no guards had ever entered, so the suspicion was cleared.

According to Zhong Yi's identification, the eldest prince died last night, and the person who delivered the meals was the most likely to strike.

Thinking of this, Guo Linchong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the attendants of the eldest prince.

Jiang also watched for a long time, but did not see any flaws in Guo Linchong's movements and demeanor.If it's not that Guo Linchong is really innocent, then it's that Guo Linchong's acting skills are so outstanding that he is so impeccable.

Guo Linchong thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "You two entered the big tent last night, didn't you?"

He said loudly to two of his followers, and when they heard this, their knees trembled and they knelt down.

One of them said: "Slave, slave is innocent..."

The other started to kowtow even more. Although he didn't speak, his fear could be seen from his trembling movements.

The First Prince brought a total of six attendants, these two were suspected, and the other four also showed expressions of horror.

Jiang also walked a few steps over there, wanting to see how Guo Linchong would handle it, but he heard Guo Linchong say: "Come here, search me, everyone was here last night, no one dared to leave, I believe the evidence cannot be destroyed. "

"I'm wronged..." The person who called him repeated these few words over and over again, and when he heard Guo Linchong's words, he spread his hands, as if he wasn't afraid of being searched.

The other fell to the ground and was still shaking.

Under Guo Linchong's order, two soldiers stepped forward and wanted to search their bodies. Jiang also appeared from the side and said, "Vice General Guo, I'm coming!"

Guo Linchong raised his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Ye, and nodded.

Jiang also walked up to the man lying on the ground, and stretched out his hand to drag him up and search him.As soon as his hand touched the man's shoulder, the man's strange shake made Jiang Ye's hand slip away.Just when Jiang Ye felt strange and wanted to grab again, the man grabbed Jiang Ye's hand with his backhand.

Jiang also sensed that something was wrong, but it was already a step too late.A strange force came from the palm of that hand, and before he could react, his whole body was lightly lifted up by that hand, flung out, and bumped into Guo Linchong's arms.

Then the man flicked his wrist, and a flying claw shot out from his cuff and hung directly on a big tree next to him.

"Give it to me!" Guo Linchong supported Jiang Ye, made him stand still, and shouted at the others.

The guarded person didn't dare to move around at will, and other people tried to catch this person, but they were slower than others who came prepared, and in an instant, the person had already climbed the tree with the strength of flying claws.

Guo Linchong sneered, let go of Jiang Ye's hand, stretched out his hand and blew a loud whistle, and then Jiang Ye heard the neighing of the horse, and the war horse came, Guo Linchong got on the horse and chased him out.The man didn't hesitate for a moment, and with the help of Flying Claw, he went from one tree to another, obviously fleeing in the direction of Qianyu.

Guo Linchong followed closely on the ground with his horse.

At this moment, Min Qiu and Zhou Xiao brought Xue Ziqin, who was paralyzed from last night's hangover, to the scene.
