Chapter 137: A Good Opportunity
Standing atop the east city wall of Xiqiang City, Feng Xiyan looked down and observed the refugees.
Some were lined up to receive porridge, some moved in and out of the military tents, and others simply gathered together, speaking in low voices.
After watching for a while, Feng Xiyan asked, "General Fan, have you interrogated those troublemakers?"
Fan Wanming stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to the Great General. This subordinate has completed the interrogation. So far, we haven’t found anything suspicious about them."
"What about their motives for causing trouble?" Feng Xiyan asked further.
"All of them claimed they rushed forward because they feared being banned from entering the city."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan paused for a moment in thought and instructed, "This general thinks this matter is not this simple. Continue interrogating them until we discover their true motives."
Fan Wanming clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, Great General."
Feng Xiyan then turned to Tan Pengtai and asked, "General Tan, how much supply do we have right now?"
Tan Pengtai took out a book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Feng Xiyan.
While Feng Xiyan read the account book, Tan Pengtai explained, "Reporting to the Great General. There is no problem with water supply, since Fairy Bai refills the lake and the river outside the west gate every night."
