Chapter 469: Trap

Zhao Shen said, "You have always wanted to find the spy hiding beside the general, so I will naturally do my best."

When Ji Yunshu heard this, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart, and she looked up at Zhao Shen.

In the darkness, she couldn't see the expression on Zhao Shen's face, but she saw that he turned his head and looked at her.

She couldn't help but say, "Thank you."

"We are husband and wife. Your business is my business. Why are you thanking me? Besides, the safety of the general is of great importance. I know there are spies in the army. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

Although he said so, Ji Yunshu knew how busy he was these days.

Things in Mobei are not so easy to handle. There is also a King Yong behind him. He has a lot of things to worry about, but he still takes care of her so attentively.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Ji Yunshu quickly said, "It's my fault that I haven't found any clues in these days. I still need to trouble you. Should we just go in directly?"

Zhao Shen wanted to say that this was not her fault. In fact, her speed was not slow. It was just that the current situation did not allow them to investigate slowly, so they had to take extraordinary measures.

He nodded and took Ji Yunshu in from the place where Jingzhe climbed over the wall.

As expected, all the guards inside were taken care of, and there was silence.

Jingzhe led the way and explained, "Although everyone in the yard was knocked unconscious, Master Huo was imprisoned in the dungeon. In order not to alert the enemy, the subordinates did not move the people in the dungeon."

Zhao Shen nodded: "You did the right thing."

Jingzhe has been following him since childhood and has always acted cautiously.

Several people headed towards the dungeon, and the closer they got to the dungeon, the more cautious they became.

Jingzhe and Dongzhi led the way, and the guards around the dungeon were quickly and silently taken down by the two of them.

After entering the dungeon almost unimpeded, Ji Yunshu first smelled a strong smell of blood.

Then a voice said coldly, "Still refusing to speak? I advise you not to waste your time. The higher-ups have told you that if you still refuse to confess before dawn, you can die."

Ji Yunshu couldn't help but lean forward. Torches were lit in the four corners of the dungeon, and the light was a little dim.

But she still saw Huo Cong, who was almost turned into a bloody man, at a glance.

He hung his head and said nothing, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

Ji Yunshu could clearly hear his labored breathing.

Then the man spoke again: "Why did you do that? What's wrong with being a bandit leader? Why did you have to get involved in something like this? You didn't even know who ordered you to do it, and you died like this. Isn't that unfair?"

Huo Cong still didn't say anything.

The other party's voice turned cold. "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty. Do you think death is easy? You still have one night left, and I will make you want to live but not die. Instead of suffering, why not confess quickly and openly?"

While he was speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, uncorked it, and poured the liquid onto Huo Cong's chest.

Huo Cong gritted his teeth, but still let out a muffled groan.

Ji Yunshu looked carefully and saw that what came out of the bottle were bugs.

An unknown species of insect was wriggling in Huo Cong's wound, and soon Huo Cong's whole body began to twitch.

Ji Yunshu couldn't bear to watch and went to see Zhao Shen.

At this moment, Zhao Shen suddenly moved.

At the same time, Jingzhe and Dongzhi, who came in with them, also rushed forward.

There were only three people in the dungeon, and they were captured by Zhao Shen and his men in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Ji Yunshu hurried forward to rescue Huo Cong.

Huo Chong was covered in wounds, and the wounds were bitten by insects. The pain was so severe that he was already in a trance.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yunshu didn't know how to save him for a moment.

It was Jingzhe who stepped forward and said, "Madam, please hand the person over to me."

Ji Yunshu quickly stepped aside and handed the person to Jingzhe. At the same time, he found some hemostatic medicine on his body and said, "Can you see if these can be used?"

Although Jingzhe did not know medicine, he was often injured while performing tasks. He immediately treated Huo Cong's wound and applied hemostatic medicine.

Ji Yunshu was carrying high-quality hemostatic drugs, and after a while, the wounds on Huo Cong's body stopped bleeding.

Zhao Shen said: "His injuries are too serious, and it's not safe here. Let's go back first."

Jingzhe responded and walked out carrying Huo Cong on his back.

The captured people were handed over to the subordinates. Ji Yunshu followed Zhao Shen and saw that he didn't say a word. He pulled his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

As they were talking, they had already walked outside. Zhao Shen looked at the dark night and said, "Don't you think it's going too smoothly?"

Although they planned very carefully this time and did not alarm anyone, it was still too smooth.

When it comes to the defense map, Zhao Shen feels that the other party is being too reckless.

And it was obvious that the three people they arrested were not the ones in charge.

This is unusual.

Ji Yunshu also felt that it seemed a little too quiet. She suppressed her uneasiness and asked, "Could this be a trap?"

They used the defensive plan to lure the other side, but how could they know that the other side was not using Huo Chong to wait for them to take the bait?

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out: "Ji Changlin's daughter, she doesn't look anything special."

Ji Yunshu raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and a torch suddenly lit up in the darkness.

A masked man dressed in black stood there.

Ji Yunshu squinted his eyes and looked at the man for a moment. He saw that he was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and was covered tightly from head to toe, as if afraid of being seen.

She smiled and said, "I'm really nothing special, but at least I can meet people."

The man in black could tell she was mocking him, but he remained calm and continued, "I was wrong. You are a little special. At least you are very brave. You actually dared to come and save people."

Ji Yunshu said, "It can't be helped. There are always some shady people who like to do sneaky things."

The man in black laughed and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you don't know your own value. With you in my hands, isn't it more useful than that defense map whose reliability is uncertain?"

Ji Yunshu understood that these people had never expected to get the real defense map from Huo Cong from the beginning.

Huo Chong was an enemy, not a friend, to them. Even if they tried every possible means, the defense map they got from him might not be true.

So their target was her from the beginning.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, exchanging her for something with her father is more practical than getting the defense map.

"Good idea. You appear to be from Daxia. I wonder why you are working so hard for the Mobei people?"

Ji Yunshu asked leisurely.

As soon as this person appeared, his eyes seemed to be completely focused on her, and he ignored Zhao Shen.

Whether he did it on purpose or out of fear, Ji Yunshu didn't want him to focus his attention on Zhao Shen.

The man smiled and said, "Madam, if you want to delay time, I advise you not to waste your time. We have been planning for today for a long time, and now we are surrounded."

Ji Yunshu felt heavy in his heart. When they came, they arranged people outside, but those people didn't even send out a single message.
