"Murong Yanda asked curiously."

"I heard from someone that Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing..."

Dong Ping said slowly,

"After the government troops failed to suppress the bandits,"

"Then they surrendered to Liangshan!"

"what?"

Murong Yanda suddenly stood up.

"You're saying those two have already turned to bandits and become outlaws?"

"Um,"

The dual-wielding general nodded.

"No, impossible,"

Murong Yanda shook his head.

"If those two really surrendered to Liangshan,"

"Then why did you come to Qingzhou to ask me to plead for them with Prime Minister Cai and the others?"

"Your Excellency, this is the problem,"

The dual-wielding general reminded him,

"Sir, have you forgotten what happened a couple of days ago?"

"Rumors spread throughout the city that Liangshan was coming to attack Qingzhou!"

"this....."

Murong Yanda was taken aback.

Then he muttered to himself,

"Could it be that the two of them came here?"

"They were just pretending to ask me to plead for them,"

"Is the real purpose to coordinate an attack from within and without, to help Liangshan capture Qingzhou City?"

This is your own idea...

Dong Ping chuckled smugly to himself.

However, he spoke with a serious expression.

"Your Excellency, I have heard..."

"The news of these two surrendering to Liangshan is already common knowledge in Jizhou,"

"Your Excellency might consider sending someone to Jeju Island to investigate,"

"If these two have truly become thieves,"

"We should strike first and take them down quickly!"

"Well, you're right!"

Murong Yanda quickly nodded.

"I will immediately send someone to Qingzhou!"

"By the way, what about Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing..."

"My lord, why not imprison them in the manor for now?"

Dong Ping suggested,

"If we investigate in Jeju, it's true that these two surrendered to Liangshan,"

"Then take them down and deal with them."

"And if these two had not surrendered to Liangshan,"

"Your Excellency, you may continue to give them important positions."

"Well, let's do it!"

Murong Yanda nodded heavily.

The Prefectural Guest House

Zhang Qing couldn't stay in the room.

Then they went into the courtyard.

I'm going to practice my marksmanship.

Let's stretch our muscles and joints.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the room,

He noticed that

The entrance to the guest courtyard, which was previously unguarded,

There were actually about ten more soldiers standing there.

This made the Featherless Arrow feel somewhat strange.

He strode towards the courtyard gate.

They were immediately stopped by the soldiers.

"The Prefect has ordered that there are spies from Liangshan active in Qingzhou City recently,"

The soldier said with a forced smile.

"Therefore, every place must be closely guarded,"

"Please forgive me, Supervisor Zhang..."

Chapter 829 Dong Ping Offers Another Strategy

Liangshan spies...

Zhang Qing frowned immediately.

Even if there really were Liangshan spies in Qingzhou Prefecture,

Then patrols in the city should be increased.

There was also Murong Yanda's protection.

Why would they give him and Huyan Zhuo the small courtyard where they lived?

Why assign so many soldiers to guard it?

He and Huyan Zhuo, two generals on the battlefield

Would we be afraid of one or two Liangshan spies?

Although I had doubts,

But the soldiers at the gate of the courtyard,

Clearly, they weren't going to let him out.

Even the featherless arrow could only turn its head away.

They walked back to the courtyard.

After pondering for a while in the courtyard,

I always feel uneasy.

Zhang Qing then walked into Huyan Zhuo's room.

He recounted everything he had just seen.

"Since there are Liangshan spies lurking in the prefectural city,"

Huyan Zhuo, however, did not care at all.

"Isn't it normal to increase the number of patrolling soldiers?"

"General Huyan,"

Zhang Qing couldn't help but say,

"Even if we increase the number of patrolling soldiers, surely they won't prevent us from going out at all!"

"this....."

Huyan Zhuo was taken aback for a moment.

I also feel there are some problems.

"But why would Prefect Murong do this out of the blue?"

"General Huyan, have you forgotten the rumors we heard in Yuncheng?"

"The Featherless Arrow reminded me in a low voice,"

"If the rumors from over there get back here,"

"I'm afraid..."

"That's just some nonsense spread by some random idiot!"

Huyan Zhuo said angrily,

"We have never surrendered to Liangshan!"

"General, we are both innocent, and we know that ourselves."

Zhang Qing said helplessly.

"But Prefect Murong doesn't know that!"

"I'll go find Prefect Murong right now and tell him the truth!"

Huyan Zhuo stood up abruptly.

"Prefect Murong certainly won't believe those thieves' rumors..."

"General,"

Zhang Qing quickly pulled Huyan Zhuo down to sit.

"Look, now Prefect Murong has only sent soldiers to surround our small courtyard,"

"But they didn't arrest him immediately,"

"I think Prefect Murong is probably still undecided."

"Or perhaps there really is another reason."

"General, if you go and tell him now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Hu Yanzhuo said dejectedly,

"This humble general was originally going to return to Dongchang Prefecture,"

The Featherless Arrow pondered,

"Perhaps I should personally request an audience with Prefect Murong,"

"If they are willing to see me, they will let me go."

"Then it shouldn't be anything serious."

"But if Prefect Murong refuses to release them, then I'm afraid..."

After discussing it for a while,
