"You must be one of the big players. Do you know where Minghuan is?"

"What Ming Huan? I don't know."

When Tang Nian mentioned Ming Huan, that person immediately denied it.

However, Tang Nian did not miss the slight shift in the other person's eyes when they spoke.

Seeing his stubbornness, Tang Nian snorted coldly and directly reached out and dislocated his arms.

Then, amidst the screams of the other party, he threatened, "Do you know where Ming Huan is? Tell me, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

I told you I didn't know.

The other party remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything.

Tang Nian coldly attached and removed the arm several times.

The man fainted from the pain.

But he refused to reveal Ming Huan's whereabouts.

Tang Nian could tell that this person was a professionally trained bodyguard.

Even if we kill him, we can't get anything out of him.

Tang Nian sighed in disappointment.

Since we can't get any information out of him, there's no point in keeping him around.

She can't lay a hand on ordinary people, but even the heavens didn't react to what just happened.

Tang Nian pursed her lips and boldly slapped the spy in the chest.

Sure enough, it still felt hard to the touch.

The spy fell to the ground without a sound, and no lightning bolt appeared.

Tang Nian had no interest in cutting it open to see if it was still peach wood inside, and leaned him against the tree.

Distracted, she lost interest in continuing to study the formation and hurriedly returned to the city.

She originally intended to find Lin Zhenming first and tell him about it.

But when Tang Nian went over, she found the guards talking to Lin Zhenming.

Tang Nian didn't want to expose the other party directly, so she smiled and walked over as if nothing had happened.

What are you talking about?

Lin Zhenming was unsuspecting of Tang Nian. Lou Mu had helped him a great deal, and Tang Nian had also released him from the control. In General Lin's eyes, the two of them were already considered "one of his own".

He spoke directly: "The men I sent just returned and said that Da Gan will feign an attack on us tomorrow. I said, this is the first time Da Gan has stayed halfway after failing to capture a city."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian raised an eyebrow, but her smile remained unchanged.

Lin Zhenming actually took the bait.

This frontier general really didn't deserve his position.

If he actually listened to this false information from the other party and believed that tomorrow's attack was a feigned one, then he would be in serious trouble.

So if they find out tomorrow that the enemy's army has really attacked, they will be too late to react and resist.

But Tang Nian didn't say anything.

Even if she is now Lin Zhenming's benefactor, it's not something that can be easily believed with just a few words.

What's more, the information Lin Zhenming was facing came from a spy he believed had been lurking in the military camp for a long time.

Tang Nian made up an excuse and returned to the inn.

The inn was still empty, and the innkeeper was still hiding in a corner. However, after spending the last two days together, he would still greet Tang Nian when he came in.

Before parting ways yesterday, Lou Mu used magic to create a dummy to impersonate Chu Roujia and left it at the inn, telling Lin Zhenming that she had caught a cold and was bedridden.

Lin Zhenming also found a doctor in the city to treat her.

Tang Nian sat down on the bed and looked at the lifelike mannequin with its eyes gently closed and its chest rising and falling slightly.

She sighed.

As long as Lou Mu is unharmed, the things created by Lou Mu's magic will remain.

She needs to find Lou Mu as soon as possible.

The next morning, Tang Nian suddenly woke up, clutching her chest, her heart pounding.

She felt a churning in her stomach, followed by a sharp pain in her heart.

She clutched her clothes tightly, curled up into a ball, and huddled under the covers.

"Cough cough..."

She couldn't help but cough twice, and what she coughed up was blood.

Tang Nian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, forced herself to stand up, poured herself a cup of tea, and washed away the metallic taste in her mouth.

Her face was pale and she looked extremely solemn.

Lou Mu is in trouble.

Before she could think of a solution, she heard a commotion outside.

Tang Nian quickly straightened her clothes, opened the door, and saw a soldier standing outside.

"Young lady, General Lin requests your presence."

She followed the soldiers to the military camp, where she saw that the army had already assembled, and Lin Zhenming was discussing matters with the generals with a solemn expression.

Judging from this, they must have already fought a battle.

When he saw Tang Nian coming over, he raised his head slightly towards her.

"General Lin, we're a group of grown men discussing military matters, what do you mean by calling a woman here?"

A man slammed his fist on the table, stood up, pointed at Tang Nian, and yelled at Lin Zhenming.

"General Xia, this girl..."

General Xia interrupted Lin Zhenming again.

"I don't care who she is, she's not welcome in the military!"

Tang Nian sneered. With such a big thing happening in the army, this person is still thinking about these trivial matters.

The Great Chu really needs a complete reshuffling.

Otherwise, it will fall into the hands of these scoundrels sooner or later.

She scanned the entire military tent, where the group of roughnecks were all staring at her with hostile expressions.

"Then, in that case, am I qualified to be here?"

Tang Nian smiled faintly, took a token from her waist, and held it in front of her.

The group of generals who were still glaring at each other were now all stunned in place.

Lin Zhenming was the first to react, standing up and kneeling on the ground.

He guessed that the three people who came were of extraordinary status, but he did not expect that the girl in front of him would have His Majesty's token.

The remaining generals quickly knelt down in front of Tang Nian, trembling.

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Tang Nian weighed the token in her hand.

The token that Chu Yanjun had Chu Roujia give him was quite useful.

"Gentlemen, why don't you answer my question first? Am I qualified to be here?"

The previously arrogant General Xia was now meek and timid, his voice trembling as he said, "Yes."

"Get up, everyone." Tang Nian watched as everyone returned to their seats before asking, "What happened?"

Lin Zhenming's expression was solemn, and after a moment of contemplation, he said helplessly.

"A large number of troops attacked early this morning. I thought they were just probing us, but I didn't expect them to send so many people, which caused me to lose a lot of men."

Those people are all our elite troops.

He sent his personal guards to investigate yesterday precisely to avoid such a thing.

But I never expected that I would suffer a great loss because of this.

Tang Nian's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.

She looked at the guards beside her.

He was even allowed to sit in on the general's meeting, which shows how much Lin Zhenming trusted him.

What a pity...

Seeing that Tang Nian's gaze was fixed on the guard, Lin Zhenming frowned slightly and then explained.

"He's been with me for many years, so I doubt he did it on purpose. He's just fallen for a big scam this time."

"Yes, these Daqian people are really too cunning."
