Chapter 2589 - 2589 Two questions
2589 Two questions
Gu Xin was almost done eating. She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, ” “General mu, I have two questions to ask about your statement. The first is what you said. When the Fuma was attacked and fled home, he fainted without telling us the location. You went to search for him, and one of you went to the river. How is that person now?”
General mu stared blankly for a moment, and then said with a serious and somewhat sad expression, ” “He’s dead.”
Gu Xin raised her eyebrows and asked again,’how did he die? When they were fighting the Pirates? Was he sick? Sudden death? Or an accident?”
“I’m sick.” General mu replied. He’s my best brother. We’re from the same place and we grew up together. A few years ago, he had an incurable disease. The old general was kind and even had people give him many precious medicinal herbs to keep him alive, but in the end, he didn’t manage to save him.”
Lord Jiang was surprised,”general mu, the old general is actually so good?” Not only do you care about your subordinates, but you’re also concerned about precious medicinal herbs?”
Lord Jiang’s expression changed after he said this.
When he spoke, it was a subconscious reaction in his heart that he felt that he shouldn’t. A few years ago, general mu could only be the young General’s accompanying guard. Of course, he knew about general MU’s promotion record, which was that he had made a meritorious contribution by fighting the sea bandits.
At that time, he was general MU’s brother, which meant that the dead captain of the guards could not have held a higher position than general mu at that time.
Who knew how many of the 100000 soldiers in nanlin held such a position?
The old general was the highest-ranking officer in the general’s office. It might not be strange for him to know this, but it was impossible for him to take it to heart and give many precious medicinal herbs.
It wasn’t that the old general couldn’t bear to part with them, but if all of them were like this, would the old general have so many things to take out?
Therefore, Lord Jiang was definitely very surprised.
After the shock, he thought about it and realized that something was wrong.
This wasn’t just giving precious medicinal herbs to keep people alive, this was directly giving medicine to kill people!
On the worse side, this incurable disease might have been caused by the people above!
The more Lord Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter wasn’t simple. Combined with what general mu had just said, Lord Jiang felt that their nanlin royal family had raised a fierce tiger for so many years!
Gu Xin continued, ” the second question is: as the accompanying guards of the Prince Consort, I believe that you will be on your guard when you follow him into the palace. He didn’t leave from the main entrance, but climbed over the wall. Did you really not hear anything? Then you have failed as the head of the guards at that time.”
General mu pursed his lips tightly. He had also thought of this question at the beginning and felt that he had failed his duty.
To be honest, his martial arts were not better than the young General’s, but he was definitely not worse than the young general.
At that time, his residence was not far from the young General’s residence. He could not understand why he did not hear any movement.
At first, he suspected that it was because he had arrived in the palace, and his initial vigilance had relaxed after his peaceful life, so he did not notice anything that night.
It was also after that that his vigilance increased.
But now that Gu Xin asked him this question, he couldn’t help but think of something else. The sandalwood scent in his room that night was different from before. He even asked the maidservant about it and she said that it was a mosquito repellent.
