Xiao Yunze came back soon and told Zhuque to send Song Tingwan back to her tent, then he brought Baihu into the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Xiao Yunze asked before he even sat down: "What about what happened on the mountain today?"
Baihu said seriously, "Yes."
"When I saw the Wei army approaching, I removed the red cloth from the trees. But the next moment, hundreds of people rushed up the mountain. The situation became urgent, so I had no choice but to order them to ignite their gunpowder and surrender to the enemy. As a result, we lost our high-altitude advantage and were unable to help the battle below the mountain."
As he spoke, Baihu knelt on one knee, bowed his head and apologized, "Master, please punish me!"
Xiao Yunze rubbed his index finger and thumb together, recalling the scene at that time.
He and Hou Changfeng were at the foot of the mountain and had no idea what was happening on the mountain.
In addition, the intelligence was wrong. If he had hesitated for a moment longer and missed the best opportunity to ignite the pre-buried gunpowder, the situation of the battle might have been reversed.
Xiao Yunze didn't blame him. "Get up. This is not your fault. Tell me what you think."
"Yes!" Bai Hu stood up and began to analyze the situation carefully. "This plan was very thorough. Apart from the soldiers who went up the mountain to ambush, very few people knew there was an ambush there. But the Wei army seemed to know we were lurking on the mountain and headed straight for the top."
"And according to the intelligence, they shouldn't have gotten here so quickly."
"Everything happened so quickly that we lost a lot of people."
"I suspect there is a traitor in the army."
Xiao Yunze thought for a while and said, "Go find Hou Changfeng and ask him to interrogate Guo Fei. There's something wrong with him."
A hint of surprise flashed in Baihu's eyes, as if he didn't expect that the traitor would be the deputy general in the army!
While being shocked, he did not forget to complete the task assigned by his master.
No matter when, he always believed that his master's decision was correct.
After all, in all these years, he had never seen anyone who could match his master in terms of strategy or martial arts.
After Baihu left, Xiao Yunze ordered someone to boil water, intending to wash off the smell of blood and change into clean clothes before going to find Miss Song.
He had just made an agreement with Miss Song to let her go back to the tent first and he would come to find her later.
But when Xiao Yunze finally cleaned himself up, changed into an indigo robe, and walked out from behind the screen, he found Hou Changfeng sitting in the tent in a disdainful manner.
"Aze!" Hou Changfeng saw Xiao Yunze coming out, and stood up quickly, whistling at him. "Hey, you've cleaned up so neatly. Where are you going?"
Xiao Yunze walked up to him, picked up the jade pendant on the table and put it on his waist. "You are a cat, so you haven't made any noise. Why are you looking for me instead of going out to drink?"
"Tsk, look at what you're saying." Hou Changfeng laughed. "The remaining 100,000 cavalrymen of Wei State are still at the border and can't come over anytime soon. Everyone has been really on edge lately. We finally won this time, so it's good for the soldiers to relax. But I'm the general. The battle isn't over yet, so I can't let my guard down."
"Well, speaking of which." Hou Changfeng circled around Xiao Yunze twice, "I heard from them that a beautiful woman in strange clothes came to the army today. She has superb medical skills and can bring the dead back to life. The soldiers on patrol today said that she is a goddess."
"Aze, that goddess is the same person who gifted us so many supplies?"
Xiao Yunze nodded.
"Oh—" Hou Changfeng dragged out the last word, and then said, "What is your relationship?"
Meeting his mischievous eyes, Xiao Yunze felt his ears warm and he changed the subject abruptly, "Changfeng, you haven't slept much lately. There are dark circles under your eyes. You don't look very energetic. Go get some rest."
"General, you must also conserve your energy and lead us to victory."
Hou Changfeng narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Tsk, I heard they said you even held hands! Aze, I thought you didn't have a woman you liked."
At this point, Xiao Yunze's ears turned red.
He didn't expect that the news would spread so far in just the time it took him to take a shower.
After all, there seemed to be no one around at the time...
Xiao Yunze put his hands behind his back, his heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm, "Are you done?"
Hou Changfeng naturally caught a glimpse of his almost ripe ears, and stopped teasing him. He clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips, forcing back his smile. "Ahem, I'm here for serious business. Let's sit down and talk."
Xiao Yunze looked at him suspiciously, then sat down at the table.
Hou Changfeng's face instantly darkened, and he sighed heavily, "Guo Fei, I have interrogated him."
Seeing him like this, Xiao Yunze knew what was going on. "Is it really him?"
Hou Changfeng said solemnly, "The trial was very quick, and he confessed everything."
The two talked about the traitor for a long time and also discussed several strategies for dealing with future attacks by the Wei army.
After Hou Changfeng left, Xiao Yunze finally had some time. He tidied his clothes and walked towards Song Tingwan's tent.
At this time, Song Tingwan had finished washing up and was lying in the fleece sleeping bag she brought from modern times.
The tent is quite spacious and a little drafty, so it's warmer to sleep in a sleeping bag.
Song Tingwan lay on his side, putting the folded clothes under his head as a pillow.
Thinking of how Xiao Yunze took her hand and pulled her aside, Song Tingwan's heart beat faster and she couldn't help but stretch out her left hand and shake it in the air.
But nothing was caught.
In fact, Xiao Yunze didn't say anything to her at that time. He just spread out his palm to reveal the wound on the palm of his hand, which was so shallow that it was almost invisible, and told her not to worry.
His original words were:
Miss Song, Xiao is fine, don't worry. It's just that the scratch on the palm of my hand is quite painful, but it's bearable. I'll come find you when I'm done. Please apply some medicine on me.
Song Tingwan choked on the spot.
Fortunately, after he said that, she realized that he was not injured, and her worries finally dissipated a little.
Song Tingwan turned over, rested his head on his elbows, and couldn't help but take a breath.
After not seeing each other for so many days, why does it feel like Xiao Yunze has become a different person?
Was he like this before?
As I was reminiscing, a low and mellow voice was heard outside the door.
"Miss Song, are you resting?"
Song Tingwan opened her phone and checked the time.
Five hours have passed.
Did it take him so long to clean up?
Song Tingwan climbed out of his sleeping bag, put on a coat, and walked to the door of the tent. He joked through the curtain, "It's been a long time. Open your hand and see if the wound has healed."
