Chapter 477 A Counter-espionage Plan
Yun Ran and Miao Yi rode on the Black King and dragged the two spies of Ye Jinghua back to the camp.
Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu have already set up tents with the soldiers.
There was even a small pile of firewood gathered in front of the tent and a bonfire was lit.
The Black King was huge in size and indeed caused quite a stir when he entered the camp.
Because it had been pulled out to perform at the New Year's Eve banquet before, many soldiers recognized it and almost caused panic.
Fortunately, Yun Ran and Miao Yijing were able to control the Black King very well, and explained the whole story to the soldiers in time, so they were able to bring the Black King in smoothly.
At this time, the lonely king who had returned first was squatting between Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu, looking at Yun Ran and Miao Yi across the flickering bonfire.
There was a hint of grievance in that pair of dark green eyes.
The look in his eyes when he stared at Yun Ran was as if Yun Ran had abandoned him and found a new love.
Yun Ran had no choice but to let Miao Yi take the Black King away and settle him down. He then sat down next to Ye Jingzhen.
Ye Jingzhen reached out to help her tidy up her wind-blown hair: "Why did it take you so long to pick someone up?"
Yun Ran unceremoniously pulled off a chicken thigh from the fragrant roast chicken on the campfire rack and took a big bite.
Then he raised his head and pointed with his chin at the place where Miao Yi had just left, and said in a somewhat unclear voice: "We just met a lion and tiger... The lion and tiger gave us a... big gift."
Ye Jingzhen was just about to ask what the gift was when Miao Yi, who had settled the Black King, came back dragging the two spies who were tied up like dumplings.
She threw the two of them in front of Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu, and automatically sat next to Yun Chenglu.
"Who are these two people?" Yun Chenglu glanced at the two people twisting on the ground.
Yun Ran told them that Nan Xuan had captured two spies from Ye Jinghua's side.
As expected, both of them became interested. Ye Jingzhen stood up directly and didn't even eat the roasted chicken.
"Come here, take these two away. I want to personally interrogate them."
Soon someone took the two spies away.
Ye Jingzhen asked Yun Ran and Miao Yi to roast fire and eat chicken, and went to interrogate the people with Yun Chenglu.
Knowing that they would definitely use torture during the trial, the two little girls tacitly did not follow them.
We sat together by the campfire, roasting chicken, eating chicken, and petting wolves. We didn't feel any tension or danger in this war.
Not long after, Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu came back.
Both of them had a faint smile on their faces, obviously asking something.
"How is it?" Yun Ran asked.
Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu sat down beside the two men and said, "We got some useful information, but we can't believe it all."
Both little girls looked at Ye Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu with sparkling eyes.
The two of them told them everything they had just found out.
It turned out that although the distance and journey from the east and west roads to the Nanlin Royal City behind the Black Stone Mountain seemed to be similar on the surface, the road to the west, which was the road chosen by Ye Jinghua and his friends, was easier to travel than theirs.
It will take about two days to cross the black forest in front of us, and another day to cross the Black Stone Mountain. It will take a total of three days to reach the Nanlin Royal City behind the Black Stone Mountain.
After crossing the Black Forest, the two teams will definitely meet in front of the Black Stone Mountain. If it is a normal cooperation, the two teams will gather in front of the Black Stone Mountain, discuss the battle plan, cross the mountain together, and attack Nanlin.
Now, it is obviously impossible.
"Entering the Black Forest from the eastern entrance, we'll encounter a swamp and a dragon pond. If we take a detour, we won't be able to get out of the Black Forest in two days."
Ye Jingzhen said: "So Ye Jinghua and the others chose the western route."
"They want to strike first," Yun Chenglu continued. "If they reach Blackrock Mountain before us, they can set up an ambush there and deal with us."
Miao Yi's expression also darkened: "My brother is over there. I think Ye Jinghua may have colluded with King Nanlin."
Ye Jingzhen nodded in agreement: "Besides, they have the 'Geography and Scenery' in their hands, so it's normal for them to make this choice."
"But that book is fake." Yun Ran said.
Hearing her say this, Yun Chenglu was delighted: "Then the things we just asked about, such as the swamp and the earth dragon pond, are not there?"
Wouldn't this make the road on their side unobstructed?
Yun Ran shook his head: "What Brother Xiao Jing said just now is right. If we enter from the east, we must pass through the swamp and Tulongtan if we don't take a detour."
"Wouldn't that give them the upper hand?!" Yun Chenglu slapped his thigh, a little angry.
Miao Yi secretly stretched out her little hand, touched the place where he had just slapped, and comforted him.
"Second brother, why are you so anxious?" Seeing his anxious look, Yun Ran chuckled, "I haven't finished yet. Although our side is full of dangers, the road to the west is not easy to travel either."
"I've seen the original writings of my master. There are many black bear dens along the road to the west. The temperature in the Black Forest is different from that in Dakang. It's evergreen all year round, and animals almost never hibernate. Their large group passing by will definitely alarm the black bears, and I'm afraid they won't be much better off than us."
"Huh..." Yun Chenglu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Besides, there are many wild beehives on the road over there, so it must be very lively." Yun Ran said, licking his lips.
Wild beehive, she wanted to eat some honey. She wondered if there was any on the road they were taking. Not many would be enough, ten would be enough!
Miao Yi didn't interrupt much. Although she and the Snake Witch were both from Nanlin, they had rarely left Nanlin, so they didn't know as much as Yun Ran about the terrain of Black Stone Mountain and the Black Forest, as well as the dangers in the forest.
What they are familiar with is Nanlin City behind Black Stone Mountain.
"In addition, Ye Jinghua arranged two assassinations." Ye Jingzhen continued.
His expression was serious and his tone was a little cold. The atmosphere, which had just been lively, suddenly became tense again.
"One will be tomorrow night, when we have just entered the Dark Forest and are unfamiliar with everything around us. The other will be at the exit of the Dark Forest. The exact time is uncertain."
Yun Ran understood that everyone had just walked out of the dangerous black forest, so naturally they were in a state of relaxation and had also lowered their guard. This was indeed a good opportunity for a sneak attack and assassination.
"Starting from tonight, except for Ranran and Miao Yi, we must all remain vigilant at all times." Ye Jingzhen said.
Although they got so much information from the two spies, they still had to be skeptical about it. The best thing was to be vigilant at all times and remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
"Miao Yi and I will also remain vigilant, don't worry, Brother Xiaojing." Yun Ran turned his head to look at him with a serious expression.
Ye Jingzhen curled his lips and pinched the little hair on her head.
Miao Yi asked, "What about those two spies? Are they dead?"
Yun Chenglu: "No, His Highness said he would temporarily spare their lives as a threat, so he tied them up again and had two reliable soldiers watch over them."
Yun Ran frowned and thought for a while: "Why not let them go?"
"What?" Miao Yi was startled by her words.
Yun Ran's eyes sparkled: "We can use a counter-espionage strategy."
