After all, if he was the only one escaping, the fire would not have to burn so much to cause chaos, but the fire had to spread from Fan Honghui's tent to the armory, and it would pass through a place in the middle.

The place where Jin Weiguo general Jiang Siyuan was guarded.

It is obvious that An Leiting intends to take Jiang Siyuan with him, and use Jiang Siyuan to join Jin Weiguo in the future!
In this way, the Western Frontier Army was like having stripped off all its clothes and standing naked in front of the Jinwei Army, with all its shortcomings and defects exposed.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason!

As a soldier, this is the most intolerable thing.

But now, it is An Leiting who is planning and putting it into practice.

If such a thing were to become a reality, what would be damaged would not only be the reputation of the entire Western Frontier Army, but also the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the entire Western Frontier Army.

Moreover, their lives were lost at the hands of the commander-in-chief they once followed.

By then, those soldiers will not only die with resentment, but more likely with reluctance to accept their death.

Zhuo Dingsheng didn't dare to think about how he would face such a scene and how he would face those soldiers who died with their eyes open.

After all, if that day really comes, he who helps An Leiting to cover up will be an accomplice.

Hangman!
It would be fine if An Leiting really just wanted to escape and save his life, but it turned out to be like this.

What on earth made An Leiting become so greedy now?
Was it because of his increasing military achievements beyond his imagination, or was it because he had successfully ascended to the position of commander-in-chief through various means, causing him to become inflated?

An Leiting began to become greedy for money and power, and even fantasized about making the rootless An family become the next aristocratic family.

Zhuo Dingsheng began to miss the time many years ago when he was just a small soldier leader like An Leiting.

But these good times passed by too quickly, like quicksand, and could not be caught. What he faced now was a cruel and difficult choice.

If I help An Leiting, I will be sorry for all the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army and the Great Zhou Kingdom.

But if he doesn't help, he would be betraying the brotherhood they once had.

After thinking for a long time, Zhuo Dingsheng finally gritted his teeth again, stood up woodenly, and called the guards outside, "Go get a horse, I want to go to the training ground to practice riding and archery!"

Zhuo Dingsheng was quite good at archery and he practiced often. Everyone was used to it and they hurriedly followed his instructions and brought over the horse he usually rode.

It is a tall, chestnut-colored horse, fat and strong, and very brave. Zhuo Dingsheng likes this horse very much and often calls it "old buddy" affectionately.

Reaching out and stroking the long and flowing mane, Zhuo Dingsheng's face was full of affection. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he jumped on the horse and went to the parade ground.

About a meal's time later, someone rushed into Fan Honghui's tent in a hurry.

"What's so frustrating?"

"Report to the commander, Commander Zhuo was practicing archery on horseback just now. The horse suddenly went crazy and Commander Zhuo fell off the horse and was trampled by the horse. He was seriously injured!"

Zhuo Dingsheng was seriously injured?
Fan Honghui was suddenly shocked and glanced at Lu Qiyan next to him.

With the war imminent, the experienced military commander on the battlefield was suddenly seriously injured. This is really...

Fan Honghui's face darkened a little, and he raised his hand, "Go and take a look." "Yes." Lu Qiyan responded and followed.

The two of them went to Zhuo Dingsheng's tent together. The military doctor had already arrived and was treating them.

Zhuo Dingsheng was in a very bad condition. He had three ribs broken when he was trampled by the horse, and his right arm was also fractured because it blocked the horse's hooves.

The most tragic thing was that there were two knife wounds on his body so deep that the bone could be seen. Even though the military doctor tried to stop the bleeding, blood was still gushing out.

Zhuo Dingsheng's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have fainted.

"What on earth is going on?" Fan Honghui asked, "Does anyone know?"

When Zhuo Dingsheng fell off his horse, someone was watching on the parade ground and answered truthfully, "I saw Commander Zhuo was practicing horseback archery, but suddenly the horse under his crotch neighed and then began to gallop wildly on the parade ground."

"At that time, I and others were startled and hurried to stop him, but Commander Zhuo stopped us loudly, saying that this was his old friend and he knew how to tame him. I and others did not move forward and just watched from a distance to prevent any accidents."

"At first, Commander Zhuo did tighten the reins to calm the horse down a bit, but suddenly the horse seemed to get even crazier, and Commander Zhuo fell off the horse. Before we could get forward, the horse started to trample on Commander Zhuo crazily..."

"If it was trampled by a horse, there should be fractures and bruises. What about the knife wound?" Lu Qiyan asked.

"It seems that Commander Zhuo was angry and pulled out the dagger he had with him to teach the horse a lesson. As a result, he accidentally hurt himself while trying to fend off the horse."

"Yes, I saw it at the time, and I also heard Commander Zhuo yelling, calling the horses damned beasts for not listening to me."

"Yes." Fan Honghui nodded slightly and looked at the military doctor, "How is Commander Zhuo doing now?"

At this time, three military doctors were treating him at the same time. The leading one wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered truthfully, "Commander Zhuo was seriously injured. He lost too much blood due to trauma, his ribs were severely fractured, his arm was comminuted, and his internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees. But fortunately, the bleeding has stopped, so his life should not be in danger."

"But such a serious injury requires a long period of care and treatment, at the fastest three months, at the slowest half a year. And even after the injury is healed, given Commander Zhuo's broken arm, he probably won't be able to lift the sword again."

It is so serious.

Fan Honghui's face was gloomy. "Give Commander Zhuo the best medicine. You must examine him carefully and cure him as much as possible!"

"Yes!" After the three military doctors responded, they continued to busy themselves with stopping the bleeding, treating the wounds, and prescribing medicine for Zhuo Dingsheng.

The military doctor was busy in the tent, and the rest of the people staying here were useless and would only cause trouble. After Fan Honghui told others not to disturb them too much, he left the tent with Lu Qiyan.

The two of them walked back together.

On the way, Fan Honghui asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

"On the surface, it looks like an accident."

Lu Qiyan said, "It's just that someone just said that this horse belongs to Commander Zhuo, and is what he calls an old friend. If that's the case, this horse has experienced many battles and seen many scenes, so it shouldn't suddenly go crazy in the military camp."

"Even if it was frightened and mad, an ordinary horse would just run away and would not deliberately attack the rider. And it attacked for so long, causing such serious injuries to Commander Zhuo."

"With the war imminent, the military commander was seriously injured. This was a very unexpected thing, and it happened just after Commander Zhuo and An Leiting met..." (End of this chapter)
