Chapter 2850: Really brilliant!
I saw Munch sitting in a chair, motionless, holding something in his hand. In the dim firelight, it looked vaguely like a child's clothes.
These days, especially after returning from White Tiger City, Monk's temperament has changed drastically.
In the past, although his cruelty was hidden under the mask of an elegant and even gentle smile, even when he ordered the extermination of a clan, his tone was gentle and his eyes were gentle.
But these days, he rarely smiles.
Often, when he was alone, his eyes would reveal a frosty coldness that would make people shudder the moment they approached.
But at this moment, his eyes were unexpectedly gentle.
When Bals saw this scene, he forgot everything he was going to say and just stood at the door of the tent, as if he had accidentally broken something taboo.
Monk reacted quickly and immediately put the small piece of clothing away.
When he looked up again, his face was the same as before, only cold and sinister.
"What's up?"
Bars immediately lowered his head. "Your Majesty, I'd like to ask, when exactly do we set out? If we don't act now, the battle won't begin until daybreak."
"No rush,"
Monk narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting, or as if he didn't want others to see the remaining emotion in his eyes. He said lightly, "Wait for news."
Still waiting for news?
Although Bals was already feeling a little anxious, he had just run into the emperor's taboo emotions. At this moment, he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only lower his head. When he was about to leave the tent, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.
He quickly turned his head and saw a group of people on horseback galloping towards them from outside the camp.
The guard at the camp gate immediately rushed forward and asked, "Who is it?"
The horse and rider stopped at the door. The man on the horse had obviously galloped all the way back. He was panting and almost fell off the horse.
He half-prostrated himself on the ground, panting heavily as he pulled out a token from his bosom. He said, "I, I'm a scout. I have urgent news to report to the Emperor!"
When the people outside saw him, they hurriedly brought him in.
Hearing that the scout had returned, Bals also stepped aside. The scout stumbled in and knelt down in front of Monk.
"His Majesty."
Seeing him come back, Monk frowned slightly: "Are you alone? Where are the others?"
The scout said, "They are all dead."
"oh?"
Monk raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Was he discovered and killed by the people you were following?"
The scout lowered his head and said, "Yes."
When he said this, he trembled a little.
At that time, he was actually almost going to go up with the others, but suddenly, as if inspired, he decided to stay.
I didn't expect that I could save my life in this way.
After waiting for a long time, his brothers did not come back to report the news. He felt something was wrong. When he followed them, he could not even find the body. He only found some blood that had not yet been absorbed by the soil in a messy grass nest.
He was certain that those people were dead.
At this time, several other scouts, including the generals, came in. Hearing this, everyone's brows knitted together, and the scout continued, "But they didn't discover us."
"Um?"
"It seems they knew we would go there, so they deliberately stopped there and lured and killed the other seven brothers."
When he talked about this, his eyes turned red.
The scouts who had returned earlier heard that the other seven brothers were dead. Although as scouts, they were likely to be sacrificed at any time, but they were still very sad to hear that seven people had died at once, and they all lowered their heads.
And Monk's eyes narrowed.
He said coldly, "So, they knew you would follow them and didn't want you to find out about their whereabouts and news, so they lured and killed the other seven?"
"yes."
"So, what did you hear? Who are the people escorting the team?"
The scout said, "The people escorting the team never left the carriage from the beginning to the end. I am incompetent and cannot find out. But -"
"But what?"
"However, after leaving the capital, the team suddenly split up."
"Divide the roads?"
"Yes, they split into two and went in different directions. The group I followed did not go south after leaving the capital, but turned and headed northeast."
"Northeast?"
Monk frowned.
He immediately stood up and walked to the map standing beside the big tent, looked at it carefully, and then said, "How do you get there?"
The scout hurried over, pointed on the map, and drew an arc.
"That's right."
“…”
Monk's eyes deepened.
According to the scouts' instructions, the team was taking a detour. They deliberately left the city from the south gate and walked a long way, making people think that they were indeed heading south. Even the counselors around him had guessed that these people were likely to seek refuge in Nanjing.
However, when they walked a little further, they turned off the road.
To the northeast...
Bars came over, looked around for a while, and said, "Go northeast, there's no way directly up Yanshan!"
"Yeah, where are they going?"
"Could it be that they are deliberately taking a detour to confuse us?"
Monk watched quietly for a moment, then sneered, "If they were trying to confuse us, they wouldn't have to kill all seven of our scouts at once."
Everyone looked at him: "Your Majesty, are you saying—"
Monk said, "It's not that there's no way. After we get to Yanshan, we can take a detour."
"A detour?"
Everyone was even more surprised: "Where are we going?"
Monk sneered, raised his hand, pointed over his shoulder, and pointed behind him.
Said: "Behind us."
“…”
There was silence in the big tent for a moment, and then everyone gasped in surprise.
They looked at the map again in the light of the fire, and sure enough, the route pointed out by the scout just now, although it seemed to go around in a circle, but if they followed their previous route, this circle would eventually appear behind them!
Bars' eyes widened: "They are going to--"
Monk said, "When we send out our troops to attack Peking, they can take advantage of the situation and attack us from behind, attacking us from both sides!"
“…”
"From the last battle, we can see that they don't have many defenders in the city. It will be difficult to defeat them by just attacking them. Plus, Zhu Feng is definitely still asleep. Militarily, they don't dare to confront us head-on."
“…”
"So, let's use this method of using a fool to fight a clever battle."
At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Whoever came up with this idea is really smart!"
