"what are you up to?"
Du Jianhao looked at Murong Yuanbo who was coming towards him in horror.
"Don't worry, you won't die. It's called the Truth Pill, and it will only make you speak the truth."
Murong Yuanbo said strangely.
This is the truth pill made by his precious daughter. There are only ten of them. She gave him three of them, saying that they can help him at the critical moment.
He didn't expect that he would be able to try out the effects as soon as he came back. He was looking forward to it.
After all, he used a mother of truth, which is priceless.
Murong Yuanbo held Du Jianhao's head, pinched his nose, and put the pill into his mouth. Deputy General Chang brought water and helped him drink it.
Du Jianhao struggled and said, "No, no, no...no!"
But he was alone and weak, how could one person resist two men, two men with great martial arts skills?
Soon the pill was down his throat and he couldn't help swallowing it.
Murong Yuanbo and Deputy General Chang both let go at the same time, and Du Jianhao fell backwards, his whole body in pain. He didn't care and hurriedly used his fingers to scratch his throat, trying to spit out the pill, but to no avail.
"Don't waste your energy. Once you swallow the pill, it will melt and become a part of your body. The drug is about to take effect, so you'd better save your energy."
Murong Yuanbo reminded angrily.
My daughter said that this pill melts in the throat and takes effect quickly.
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, Du Jianhao's eyes became dull and his expression was dazed. This was the effect of the drug.
"Who are you? Where are you from? What do you want General Mao to do? What is your purpose? How many of your companions are hiding in Daliang?"
Seeing the medicine taking effect, Murong Yuanbo asked a series of questions.
Deputy General Chang took a brush and paper and wrote down whatever Du Jianhao said.
"I am a Tatar captain, under the orders of our general, lurking in Daliang..."
Du Jianhao told Murong Yuanbo everything clearly and without hesitation. He didn't hide anything and spilled everything.
It turned out to be the Tatars. They are really good at calculating.
Murong Yuanbo asked Deputy General Chang to take Du Jianhao to the war room, where many generals were already waiting for Murong Yuanbo.
When General Mao saw Du Jianhao coming in, he shouted in his heart: It's over, it's really over this time!
Murong Yuanbo asked Deputy General Chang to hand the confession to General Huoqi, and then read it one by one until the confession was passed to General Mao. He was so scared that his hands and feet were shaking and he collapsed to the ground.
Everyone then realized that the traitor was General Mao. Murong Yuanbo caught all the people involved in the confession.
Seeing that the truth was revealed, everyone stopped struggling and waited for Murong Yuanbo's sentence.
Out of consideration for their comrades-in-arms, Murong Yuanbo simply beheaded them and did not harm their wives and children.
After discussing tomorrow's battle plan, everyone dragged their heavy feet back to the room.
It was a dark and windy night, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face. Murong Yuanbo led an elite force to launch a surprise attack on the Tatar barbarians.
Everyone thought that since the other party didn't know that the General of Cavalry had returned to the border, they might as well take advantage of their own tactics and launch a sneak attack when they were relaxed.
The surprise attack was very successful, killing nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers and destroying a lot of food.
When Gao Zhijun arrived in Youzhou, she did not rush to the border, but bought gunpowder and materials for making a ten-repeat crossbow in various counties in Youzhou.
Only after they were almost ready did they enter Panmen Town on the border.
After finding an inn and resting for a day, Gao Zhijun took everyone to the military camp.
"Stop! Who are you? This is a military camp, you can't go in."
At the foot of the military camp, the soldiers guarding the gate prevented Gao Zhijun and others from entering the camp.
"Hello, sir. This is the wife of the General of Cavalry. We are here to see the General. Please make some arrangements."
Nanny Tian said to the soldiers.
"The General's wife? What evidence do you have? The General's wife is in the capital, how could she be here? Are you spies trying to trick your way into the military camp and steal information?"
The soldier looked at Gao Zhijun and the others and realized they didn't look like officials at all.
"Sir, we are really the general's family, not spies. You can go and call Deputy General Chang over; he knows my wife."
Seeing that they were unmoved and refused to believe that the lady was the wife of the General of Cavalry, Nanny Tian anxiously asked the soldiers to call Deputy General Chang.
"Oh, you guys are really good at it. Even our general's deputy general, whose surname is Chang, knows it. Are you going to leave? If you don't leave, we will arrest you."
The soldiers pointed swords at Nanny Tian and threatened to capture them and treat them as spies if they didn't leave.
"How dare you? I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue and the wife of the General of Cavalry."
Liu Ningchu said angrily.
She hadn't been the mistress of the house for so many years for nothing. That posture frightened the two soldiers to the point of trembling in fear.
"What's the commotion?"
A man's voice came from above, and he will be here soon.
Liu Ningchu and Gao Zhijun heard the familiar voice and smiled at each other.
"My dear young master, these people actually dared to claim to be the General's wife, your own mother. They are so bold and presumptuous. I am preparing to arrest them."
The soldier said immediately when he saw Murong Fu.
Murong Fu looked forward and saw that it was really his mother and sister, he said happily.
"My son greets mother. Why did you come to the border with my sister? It's dangerous here."
Murong Fu paid his respects to Liu Ningchu.
"You knew the Tatars were coming, and you were worried about your father, so you came to see me."
Liu Ningchu said.
"I was blind and didn't recognize you. I didn't realize you were the General's wife. Please spare my life, General's wife."
"I didn't know you were the General's wife and I offended you. Please spare my life."
When the two soldiers saw the eldest son calling Liu Ningchu "mother", they were so scared that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Leave this to you. I'm tired. Take us inside to rest."
Liu Ningchu did not forgive them or punish them, but just asked Murong Fu to take them inside to rest.
"Yes, mother! Mother, sister, please follow me!"
After Murong Fu finished speaking, he took Gao Zhijun and the others into the military camp and settled them down.
