Wu Xiaoliu still refused to accept her arrangement: "Your people? What kind of people are you? Are they reliable? Don't try to frame us."
Xiao Nanhui was also a little impatient: "Why would I frame you? She is my personal maid, very reliable."
Su Pingchuan was about to drink some water when he spat out a mouthful of it: "Maid? You let a maid come to this damn place to save us?"
"She is not an ordinary maid." She paused and added, "She has a much worse temper than ordinary maids, so you must be careful when you meet her. If you can successfully reach Wancheng, you can go to An Daoyuan and Hao Bai can go home on his own. Wancheng is the territory of Prince Ding. Even if Lu Songping wants to rebel, he won't dare to offend for a moment..."
Hao Bai asked sullenly, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Nan put the last stone back in the stack and said, "I still have things to do. I'll meet up with you guys later."
After saying this, a small figure appeared in the sky from afar.
It's a night owl.
She stood up, patted her butt, and without even looking at the expressions of those people, she walked to the wasteland beside her and put the secret letter she had prepared long ago into the mailbox of Night Owl.
She was not very good at explaining things to others that she couldn't even explain herself, and she was even worse at saying goodbye.
Having spies in the army was a grave taboo, and if, as Su Pingchuan had said, this person had already affected the initiative during the battle, then this person must be of high rank. Time was precious, and she couldn't wait; she had to go there in person.
That night, everyone was extremely silent.
Wu Xiaoliu seemed angry with her, devouring a large amount of dry food in one go. Hao Bai, a member of the Qu family after all, was quite understanding and didn't ask any further questions, simply slipping Xiao Nanhui a Zhidan pill. Su Pingchuan disappeared in the latter part of the night, and she assumed he'd gone somewhere to sulk.
It was past midnight and the sky was slightly white. Xiao Nanhui packed up her small luggage, tied Pingxian on her back, and was about to leave. When she turned around, she saw Su Pingchuan squatting on a hilltop, looking at her resentfully.
She was startled and took a few steps back: "You are not saying a word, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"I know where you're going. Take me with you, or you're not going anywhere."
She believed this.
Judging from all the signs, Su Pingchuan is also a stubborn person. If she doesn't knock him out, he might follow her for ten miles.
"There's a spy in the army. Who else knows about it besides you?"
Su Pingchuan shook his head: "The marching route is top secret, and I am the only one who knows that the route has been exposed."
"Then, if you return to the camp with this look on your face, wouldn't you be courting death? Those people, seeing that you're still alive, probably won't even let you set foot in the main tent. Even if you manage to escape, the enemy will surely be alerted to your return. How will you then catch that spy?"
Su Pingchuan turned his head away: "I don't care, there will always be a way. Anyway, this is my business, don't think about leaving me."
Taking a deep breath, she calmed down and told him her plan in detail. She then analyzed the advantages of traveling alone and the disadvantages of taking him along with her.
In the end, she was almost convinced by herself, but Su Pingchuan interrupted her with an angry look on his face.
"You're taking a risk!"
It seemed like all her spit was wasted. Looking at the other person's excited face, she felt her blood rushing to her head: "What else?! Do you have a better idea?!"
Su Pingchuan puffed up his cheeks, frowned, and thought for a while, but he didn't say a word.
Humph, that's all she knew.
"I'm just telling you this for the record. I don't expect you to offer any good advice, and I certainly don't intend to listen to your suggestions, let alone take you with me. If you still can't figure it out and are wasting your time here, I'll just have to knock you out."
Hao Bai has a hard time too, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for him all the time.
If all else fails, just tie him up, right? However, this kid's strength has almost recovered in the past few days, and she's not sure she can capture him.
Xiao Nanhui was still pondering how to get rid of Su Pingchuan, but the other man sat on the ground and muttered to himself, "Did you know that His Majesty personally led the expedition against Bijiang this time?"
Xiao Nanhui was stunned for a moment, and the archers from the Black Feather Camp on the rock wall of Sanmu Pass that day flashed before his eyes.
No wonder the Black Feather Camp appeared in Lingxi because the emperor led the army in person.
It seems that she underestimated the emperor's determination this time.
"Xiao Nanhui, do you know what it means for the emperor to personally lead an army? How complicated are the relationships between the generals and his subordinates in his army? Before you were promoted to Right General, you probably didn't even get involved in the affairs of the court. How can you be sure that you can resolve this matter completely by yourself?"
Su Pingchuan's question is not without reason.
But so what? Even if she doesn't understand the art of politics, she still has her own methods.
"Since you say the situation is so complicated and everyone in the military is a suspect, then I will go find the one person who is absolutely not a suspect."
Xiao Nanhui suddenly felt his vision open up, and even the cold air became refreshing.
"I will go to the Emperor and tell him what happened."
