Chapter 1089 Cold Sweat
Chapter 1089 Cold Sweat
Xiao Zhuo was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the young man he looked down upon was actually the descendant of Duke Ye. What about Ye Xuan? Isn't his status also extraordinary?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered people to search for Ye Li's whereabouts.
When they walked along the river to the dense forest, Xiao Zhuo's face darkened.
He frowned and said, "Xie Xiaoshu, if I'm not mistaken, Ye Li might have mistakenly entered the witch tribe. This is their territory!"
Xie Jianshu asked in surprise: "What is the witch tribe?"
Xiao Zhuo answered obscurely, "It's a large, hidden clan. It's made up entirely of women. They respect women and are very exclusive. Anyone who trespasses will be castrated and forced to do hard labor!"
Xie Jianshu was sweating profusely. He urged anxiously, "General, you have to find a way to rescue him quickly. If Boss Xuan wakes up and doesn't see him, he'll go crazy!"
Xiao Zhuo frowned and looked at him: "Xie Xiaoshu, tell me the truth, who is Ye Xuan's true identity?"
Xie Jianshu didn't dare to hide it anymore. He leaned over and whispered something in Xiao Zhuo's ear, which shocked him so much that he almost couldn't stand.
No wonder I felt that this guy was extraordinary when I first met him.
It turns out that a tiger father has no dog son, and he is actually the son of the current dynasty's Zhan Yihou.
He almost broke the sky.
He didn't dare to delay and immediately said, "Come here, lead the troops to negotiate with the witch tribe!"
When they arrived at the depths of the dense forest, they saw many women in strange clothes and servants staring at them with eager eyes.
A young girl riding on a tiger is really hard to look at.
She sarcastically said, "General Xiao, we Wu Nu tribe have always kept our distance from you. Why are you coming to my territory today?"
Xiao Zhuo smiled and said, "I guess you are the head of the witch tribe? A soldier from our barracks has mistakenly strayed here. I hope I can bring him back!"
The girl turned to look at the women around her: "Have you seen that soldier?"
Everyone shook their heads and said, "Reporting to the clan leader, none of us have seen it!"
The girl spread her hands innocently: "Look, none of them have seen it. How about General Xiao take your people to look for it somewhere else?"
Xiao Zhuo knew that the witch tribe had extraordinary means, otherwise, they would never have been entrenched near the northwestern military camp for so many years without being wiped out.
He naturally didn't dare to ask to enter the tribe to search, so he could only retreat and think of another way.
He said respectfully, "Then please keep an eye out, Chief. If you find that soldier, please send someone to our camp to report him. Thank you!"
The girl waved her hands: "No problem!"
Xiao Zhuo led his men back to the military camp and kicked Lieutenant General Chen to the ground.
He angrily scolded: "Look at the trouble you have caused. If anything happens to Ye Li, how will you explain it to the Duke's Mansion?"
Deputy General Chen was so frightened at this time. He never expected that the young boy's identity was so noble.
He argued in panic: "General, it's not my fault. It was Heipi who insisted on taking off his clothes and scared him away!"
Before Xiao Zhuo could say anything, the tent was suddenly knocked open.
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Xuan, with bloodshot eyes, rushed in. He raised his hand and knocked Lieutenant General Chen to the ground, then raised his fist and smashed it hard in the face without hesitation.
Xiao Zhuo didn't stop him and let Lieutenant General Chen take a few hard punches.
He knew that he had to let Zhan Xuan vent his anger, otherwise, he would cause unrest in the entire Northwest Military Camp.
More importantly, he also felt that Lieutenant General Chen really deserved a beating.
He had repeatedly reminded them not to bully the new recruits, but they turned a deaf ear to him and did whatever they wanted relying on their seniority and some skills.
At first, Lieutenant General Chen could still struggle a few times, but in the end he could not withstand Zhan Xuan's ferocity.
In just a moment, he was defeated and was beaten unilaterally.
Seeing that his face was covered in blood, Xiao Zhuo quickly stopped him: "Ye Xuan, please stop now. Even if you beat him to death, you won't be able to find Ye Li, right?"
Zhan Xuan didn't listen to him at all. Rather than hating Lieutenant General Chen, he was actually upset that he didn't protect Ye Li.
Until Xie Jianshu rushed in, hugged his waist tightly and shouted: "Boss Xuan, it's not a pity for Deputy General Chen to die, but Ye Li must be rescued quickly. He is now in the witch tribe and his life or death is unknown!"
Just one sentence made Zhan Xuan regain his sanity.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Zhuo: "Are you sure Ye Li is being held captive by the witch tribe?"
Under his gaze, Xiao Zhuo shuddered inexplicably.
He thought to himself, this kid really took after his father. His aura alone was enough to shock people.
In time, he will definitely be a powerful warrior!
He answered subconsciously, "Yes, I'm sure he's in the witch tribe because I saw a lot of complicated footprints. We followed them to chase him!"
Zhan Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Give me a few men, I want to attack the witch tribe!"
Xiao Zhuo quickly stopped him, "Don't be impulsive. The Wu Nu Clan is a hidden clan. We've kept our distance from them since the time of the previous emperor. If you lead your troops to attack, it will inevitably cause chaos in the northwest. Those hidden clans will all attack our Sheng Dynasty, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhan Xuan clenched his fists in anger: "Then how do you rescue Ye Li? Are we just going to watch him get trapped?"
Xiao Zhuo said helplessly: "If we want to save him, we can only use our wits!"
Zhan Xuan was stunned. Outsmart? How could he outsmart him?
He was extremely anxious at the moment. Ye Li was very timid and would probably be very panicked if he were to arrive in an unfamiliar environment.
He must rescue him quickly without any delay.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Jianshu and I will infiltrate the witch tribe and find out Ye Li's whereabouts!"
Xiao Zhuo frowned and said, "It's not that easy to enter the witch tribe. If it's a woman, it's okay, but any man will be castrated the first time he enters!"
Zhan Xuan was not afraid of becoming a eunuch, he was only afraid that he would not be able to rescue Ye Li and let him suffer in vain.
Without saying a word, he took out Ye Li's bag, found two sets of women's clothes, and urged Xie Jianshu to change into them quickly.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Zhuo was stunned. He asked in confusion, "You actually came to join the army wearing women's clothes?"
Zhan Xuan asked, "Why not? If we encounter danger along the way, we will have to dress up as a woman. Where will we find ready-made clothes then?"
Xiao Zhuo didn't dare to refute. He was a little afraid of the second young master of Zhan Yihou's mansion. Although he was young, he was incredibly powerful.
What’s more important is that this kid has a strong background. Needless to say, he is the Marquis of Zhan Yi, and his grandfather is the King of Li of the current dynasty.
He really can't afford to offend!
He asked with a smile on his face, "Second Young Master, do you want me to send more people to protect you and Master Xie? You two are of high status, and we cannot afford any mistakes!"
Zhan Xuan thought he was not a person who liked to make things difficult for others, but Ye Li’s disappearance made him furious.
