Chapter 473: Traitor

Xiao Yanli's dark eyes suddenly darkened, and he tightened his mouth.

He didn't want to achieve this effect.

While secretly overturning the plan he had thought of before, he lowered his voice and said, "Keep an eye on her. If she has contact with that person today again, report it quickly."

The maid nodded hurriedly.

Xiao Yanli left the yard without looking back. Outside the gate, his subordinates were waiting.

"Is there any news from Nanlong?"

The subordinate shook his head: "Nanlong is now raining and the dense forest is full of miasma. Not to mention us, even those Nanlong people dare not easily enter the dense forest at this moment."

"The army is now stationed outside the dense forest, and Bai Yan has not entered."

Xiao Yanli paused.

"How long will this weather last?"

"Based on past years, at least one month."

"Give orders to speed up," Xiao Yanli coughed lightly, "Is Mr. Zhang going back to Beijing soon?"

"The letter said he will be back in three days at most."

Xiao Yanli nodded lightly.

There was a trace of regret in his eyes.

At first, Uncle Zhang was sent to destroy the evidence because he was afraid that Jiang Zhiyu would suddenly take action, but who would have thought that she would be sent to Nanlong by the emperor before she could take action.

If he had heard this news earlier, he would not have taken action so quickly.

What a pity...

Xiao Yanli couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he hadn't taken action, he could help himself more in this situation now.

...

Qingxi Valley, the border of Mobei. With

flags flying, the army stationed at the broken bridge.

The situation was reversed from the beginning. Those who stayed in the city became the people of Mobei, and those who came out to provoke became the people of Tianqi.

But one difference is that Tianqi took the initiative to defend, while Mobei now was forced to do so.

"General, the ropes are ready. You can quietly move a batch of them over at night."

In the camp, the soldiers sat together and looked at the map.

The terrain of Qingxi Valley is special. There is only one bridge connecting it. Now that the bridge is broken, the cliff is like a deep ditch, separating them.

But correspondingly, once they break through Qingxi Valley and take down Wala, it will be a done deal.

They had won several battles in a row, and they had all won beautifully, so even if they encountered such a difficult problem, everyone's faces were still full of joy.

Moreover, General He had already thought of a solution.

Hearing the words coming over, He Yanting nodded slightly: "No need for more, send five people over first, hide in the woods, the Mobei people will search the woods during the day, then be careful and take the opportunity to sneak in."

Everyone responded, but if they wanted to infiltrate the local area, ordinary soldiers would naturally not be able to do it.

Knowing what they were thinking, He Yanting said, "I have already selected the people. When they pass by at night, I will take back the rope. We must not let the Mobei people find out. Tomorrow morning, I will use the catapult to cover them."

After discussing some details, He Yanting rubbed his brows tiredly after everyone left.

A person sneaked in.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and these people are still so long-winded! They can talk about a few simple sentences for a long time."

"It's just that they are afraid of being blamed later," He Yanting raised his eyes and paused: "You..."

Yang Wu showed a wanton smile: "Why, didn't you know that I sneaked in yesterday? Why are you so surprised?"

"I didn't say that," Yang Wu sat down beside him without waiting for him to speak: "Now these people don't know how to train soldiers, I sneaked in easily, if I were from Mobei, they would not know how they died."

He Yanting did not comment, "Why are you here?"

"Hasn't Jinzhou changed its leader? Everyone can have enough food to eat. The brothers under me don't want to live this precarious life anymore, so they all went back home to farm and earn money to seek marriage," Yang Wu raised his eyebrows: "As for me, a lonely man, I can only come to you for help."

"I remember that you still have..."

Yang Wu raised his hand: "Stop, let's talk about some business."

A trace of shame flashed across his eyes, and he changed the subject: "Why don't you call them? Also, I just heard that you are going to send five people to the other side in the evening? Have you found out the details?"

They refer to He Yanting's former subordinates.

He Yanting looked at him for a long time, and followed his words to change the topic: "No need, we are all living a peaceful life, why drag them into it."

Yang Wu sighed: "That's right."

"The ones who were sent over have been investigated, aren't we going to send them home?"

He Yanting's eyes showed embarrassment, making Yang Wu feel as if he had returned to the past.

After coming to his senses, he understood the meaning of his words.

"Well, I said, what's the point of sending five people over," Yang Wu's eyes dimmed: "After sending these five people, will the army be completely clean?"

He Yanting smiled faintly and said nothing.

Yang Wu shrugged, "I don't need to worry."

After a moment of silence, looking at He Yanting who was focused on the map again, Yang Wu suddenly said, "Come to think of it, on my way here, I heard that Jiang Zhiyu was sent to Nanlong by the emperor?"

He Yanting nodded without raising his head.

"Nanlong should be raining continuously now, and the miasma in the dense forest should also increase. That thing is really weird. I went in once and almost died there."

Yang Wu said while looking at He Yanting's face. Seeing that he was unmoved, he raised his voice and said, "But I'm lucky that I didn't die, and I also made friends with several Nanlong people."

"They also sent me a letter."

He Yanting finally raised his head.

Yang Wu glanced at him and said, "It also mentioned here that two new envoys from Nanlong have arrived..."

Before he finished speaking, He Yanting had already stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see it."

Yang Wu was amused and said, "This is a letter written to me by someone else. What are you looking at?"

He Yanting looked at Yang Wu, who looked very proud, and was silent for a moment: "There is something you may not know. Your second in command seems to have caught up with us."

"What?!"

Yang Wu jumped up as if he had been bitten. "Where did she catch up with us? Did she come alone?"

He Yanting did not answer, but just hooked his finger.

Yang Wu had no intention of teasing him at this moment. He stuffed the letter into his hand and looked at him anxiously: "Tell me!"

He Yanting put the letter away, then looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "I lied to you."

Yang Wu: "???"

His expression was blank.

"I was focused on the battlefield. I didn't even find you until you sneaked into the military camp. How could I know whether your second in command caught up with us?"

Yang Wu looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He Yanting never lied before, otherwise Yang Wu would not have handed him the letter without thinking after he finished speaking.

Looking at the slightly proud He Yanting in front of him, Yang Wu could not help but curl his eyebrows, and the hidden strangeness between the two seemed to fade away. Yang Wu sat even more unrestrained than before: "Okay, okay, the general is so capable, I think I can also pass the message to Nangong by myself."
