Chapter 177 Don’t Implicate Him If You Want to Die
If their spies wanted to get the news out, the most convenient way was to use carrier pigeons or walk along the mountain tops.
Carrier pigeons could be shot down, so delivering information by walking on the top of a mountain was the safest way.
Bai Erlang waited for a few days and finally caught the two spies who were in contact with him. He tied them up and sent them to the military camp.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The people in the military camp had never seen Bai Erlang before, so they blocked the door and refused to let him in.
"I've captured two Laotian spies. Who's in charge of the military camp now?"
The two guards looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Deputy General Mu has gone out and is now in the military camp...
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded. The guard's eyes lit up and he shouted hurriedly, "Captain Shangguan."
"What's going on?"
Shangguan Ying came out with two female soldiers. It happened that all the generals in the barracks had gone out, and she was the highest-ranking official now. The two guards hurriedly explained the situation.
Shangguan Ying's eyes lit up after hearing this, and her arrogant eyes stared straight at Bai Erlang. Only then did she feel that he looked a little familiar.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Bai Erlang."
Bai Erlang is now a commoner and can only call himself a commoner.
"Who are you to Bai Zongren?"
"Bai Zongren is my father."
"Oh! So you are Bai Li's brother!"
Shangguan Ying's expression changed and she looked at Bai Erlang meaningfully.
"You said they were spies, but why do I think you're more like a spy?"
"As far as I know, you weren't there when Bai Zongren and his family were exiled here. You didn't just show up out of nowhere and pretend to be someone else, did you?"
Bai Erlang was anxious when he heard this and shouted, "How is this possible? I am Bai Zongren's second son, Bai Erlang, absolutely genuine!"
"Why are you so excited? What do you want to do? Come on, take him down first!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said he was Bai Li's second brother, but as soon as he mentioned it, Shangguan Ying couldn't help but think of Bai Li's smug face.
It was just right that someone was sent here to make her feel better. While everyone was away, she would take it out on him first.
The two guards looked at each other, hesitated and did not take action.
"Are you all deaf? Do it!"
"What is it, Captain Shangguan?"
A patrol team happened to pass by and immediately surrounded the area when they saw what was happening.
"This man is suspected of being a spy, arrest him quickly!"
"yes!"
"Let me go! What do you want to do? You don't want to catch the real spy, but you come to catch me instead!"
Bai Erlang died unjustly, and he didn't expect that catching a spy would implicate himself.
His resistance now further confirmed his suspicion of being a spy, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.
The patrolman pressed Bai Erlang to the ground, with his face buried in the mud and a mouthful of mud in his mouth.
Bai Erlang refused to accept and tried to struggle, but several people couldn't hold him down. The patrol leader quickly took out a rope and tied him up, making him unable to move.
"Pooh!"
Bai Erlang spat out the sand in his mouth and angrily cursed, "Who are you? Why are you arresting people without any reason?"
Afraid that he would say something else, Shangguan Ying had his mouth stuffed.
Bai Erlang was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils, but he couldn't speak.
He had been in the military camp for several years and had never seen such an unreasonable general.
"Take these three away and detain them separately. We'll interrogate them thoroughly when Deputy General Shangguan returns."
Fortunately, Shangguan Ying had some self-awareness. Her military position did not qualify her to interrogate spies, so she did not dare to overstep her authority.
Several patrolmen escorted the three people away. One of them scratched his head, feeling that this matter was a bit inappropriate, but his words were not influential, so he decided to wait for Lieutenant General Mu to come back before making any decision.
Shangguan Ying followed him and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Bai Erlang's back.
"Xiaohua Xiaocao, go and bring Bai Erlang to my barracks later. I have something to ask him."
"Captain, this isn't good. If someone sees us..."
"What's wrong with that? I'm the one who arrested me, so what if I question him? He's not Laotian!"
"Captain, he's not Laotian, why are you arresting him..."
Xiaohua hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
Xiaocao is young after all. She was transferred to Shangguan Ying to serve her after Yuan Mo left, so she doesn't know how to read Shangguan Ying's expression and do things.
"Xiaohua is still smart. Go ahead!"
Thinking that she would be able to vent her anger later, Shangguan Ying hummed a tune and walked lightly back to the barracks.
The entrance of Shiya Village.
Deputy General Mu and Shangguan Yu finally received Nangong Min's army.
Without saying much, he led the troops to march towards the military camp.
After returning to the military camp, Lieutenant General Mu led the troops to settle down. Before Nangong Min had time to drink a sip of water, a soldier came to the door of his tent and said he had something urgent to discuss with him.
Nangong Min motioned him to come in, he looked familiar.
"General He Dazhuang pays homage to the Major General."
"Who are you……"
"I was originally a member of the vanguard, but was later promoted by the major general to captain of the baggage train."
"Oh, it's you."
Nangong Min remembered that this person was the one Bai Li wanted to promote, and he was just giving orders for her.
"If there's anything urgent, tell me first."
"It's like this. This morning, a man named Bai Erlang captured two Laotian spies and brought them to the military camp. He was later arrested by Captain Shangguan because they suspected him of being a spy and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the military camp and steal intelligence..."
"Bai Jilang? Where is he?"
Nangong Min became anxious when he heard this. If that evil woman Bai Li knew who had captured her second brother, wouldn’t she cause chaos in the entire military camp?
He Dazhuang was frightened by the sudden attack of the major general and took a few steps back before he reacted. He swallowed and said, "Just half an hour ago, he was taken away by Shangguan Ying's men!"
"Where did you take it? Take me there!"
He Dazhuang almost cried. The major general was so scary that he scared him to death.
"I saw them taking the man away and followed him for a while. It seemed they were heading towards her tent."
"Hasn't come out yet?"
"I was just standing guard not far from her tent, but I didn't see anyone come out.
I heard you were back, and I was afraid something might happen, so I came to look for you!"
"Let's go, hurry over there!"
Nangong Min's eyelids were twitching, and he just prayed in his heart that nothing would happen.
Shangguan Ying is really going too far. What right does she have to interrogate a spy?
What's more, he is a suspect!
People have already said that he is Bai Zongren's son, but she insisted on suspecting him of being a spy and even secretly interrogated him. No one would believe that she is not taking revenge on someone else!
Shangguan Ying, Shangguan Ying, if you want to die, why don’t you drag him into this?
Bai Li doesn't have any deep hatred with her, so why does she have to make things difficult for her?
Nangong Min ran all the way and He Dazhuang almost couldn't catch up with him.
It’s not far away, but why does it feel so far away today?
To avoid suspicion, the male and female soldiers' tents were separated by a kitchen and a warehouse for supplies, so they had to walk about half a mile.
When Nangong Min's patience was almost exhausted and he was so anxious that he wanted to use his lightness skills to fly over, he finally arrived at the destination.
As I approached the tent, I heard a few muffled groans and cries of pain.
There was no one near the female soldiers' tent, and there were two people guarding the door of Shangguan Ying's tent.
