Chapter 736: Spy, Li Zhongwu? Zhao Xian?
The camp in the dead of night looked the same as usual, but in fact, Gu Yanchen's men were staking out the high point.
Since the problem originated from within Huluguan, Gu Yanchen only trusted the people he brought with him.
Shan Qi, Zhuo Yong and others were wearing special night vision goggles and could see fluorescent marks of different colors on the hands and faces of every soldier.
There was tight security outside Chang Hu's tent, with four personal soldiers standing with knives in their hands, their faces as solemn as iron.
As Gu Yanchen approached, a loud "bang" was heard from inside the tent, as if something heavy had hit the table.
"General, Master Gu has arrived." The personal soldier reported outside the tent.
"Please come in!" Chang Hu's voice was like thunder.
Gu Yanchen lifted the curtain and entered, only to see Chang Hu standing with his back facing the door. His burly body blocked the window like a mountain, holding the night vision device tightly in his hand.
The candlelight in the tent was burning brightly, but it could not illuminate his gloomy face.
"Brother Chang?" Gu Yanchen frowned and called softly.
Chang Hu turned around slowly. His usually bold and rough face was now terribly dark, with veins on his forehead bulging like earthworms.
His uninjured hand almost slammed the night vision device on the table, but he couldn't bear to let it go.
It was like he was holding back his anger but had no place to vent it.
"Sure enough, besides that captain, there are other traitors!
A quarter of an hour ago, a trained eagle flew out from Dongying with a bamboo tube! ”
Gu Yanchen's heart trembled. The equipment that Ran Qingxuan took out from the space not only had night vision function, but also could see special fluorescent colors.
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Can you see who released it?"
Chang Hu's fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. His eyes were almost filled with anger, but there was also a hint of indescribable hesitation: "I only saw his back, but he came from Dongying..."
Just as he opened his mouth, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the tent.
Zhao Tiezhu barged in without warning, and although he was trying to restrain himself, there was still a hint of panic in his tone.
"General! Scouts report that the Yigui army has regrouped thirty miles away, and there are...more than a dozen siege vehicles!"
Chang Hu's face suddenly changed and he exchanged glances with Gu Yanchen.
"The sneak attack the day before failed, so today they launched a large-scale attack. The timing was so precise. Maybe it was related to those Yigui people who failed to snatch the guns and escaped..."
"No, maybe the Yigui soldiers who are gathering now have already received the news. Their earlier actions may just be a risk to see if they can get guns..."
Gu Yanchen's words were recognized by Chang Hu.
"Order the entire army to be on alert! Spearmen and archers go up to the city walls, and get rolling stones and hot oil ready!" Chang Hu shouted sternly, then lowered his voice and spoke to Gu Yanchen.
"The man who released the eagle... was Li Zhongwu."
Gu Yanchen's pupils suddenly shrank... Li Zhongwu was one of Chang Hu's most trusted lieutenants, and was in charge of Dongying's defense!
"Are you sure?" Gu Yanchen's voice was a little tense, because according to his understanding of Li Zhongwu, it couldn't be him who betrayed!
But soon Chang Hu took out a piece of cloth from his arms.
"The eagle was released from behind his tent. Although Kuang Ze only saw its back, I checked it myself and found that it was the cloth towel he usually used to wipe his hands in his tent..."
His voice became lower and lower, and finally it was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
The tent fell into silence for a moment, and Gu Yanchen's mind was working rapidly.
If Li Zhongwu is a traitor, then it makes sense why the Yigui people launched a precise attack on the hot weapons depot and Ran Qingxuan's tent last night.
Gu Yanchen was puzzled and took out the instrument to check, but when he threw the cloth on the table, he keenly noticed a tiny green spot on the corner of the cloth...
"Brother Chang, look, something is wrong here." Gu Yanchen quickly showed the small piece.
"Except for the ink stain, everything on this hand towel is stained blue, but this little piece of fluorescent light the size of a mung bean is green..."
"Why is it tainted with green? According to the allocation, Dongying should be..."
Chang Hu's eyes sharpened, as if he noticed something was wrong: "The Dongying where Li Zhongwu is located should use blue, but his cloth has green on it..."
He suddenly thought of something and his expression became even uglier.
"Green is... the central army camp!"
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time. The central military tent, that was... the residence of military advisor Zhao Xian!
"Is it to confuse the public?" Chang Hu laughed in anger.
"Or maybe Zhao Xian, this sour scholar, is in cahoots with Li Zhongwu. Are they actually in the same group?"
Gu Yanchen was silent for a while, but he felt that this matter was strange: "Military Advisor Zhao is your confidant, maybe..."
"Report..." Another personal soldier rushed into the tent, gasping for breath.
"General! Lieutenant General Li...he brought a group of people to Madam Gu's tent, saying that he was ordered by you to ask Madam to go to the wounded camp!"
Li Zhongwu had been guarding outside the wounded camp with his men, and had been there with You Wei for a whole night without returning. But at this moment...
"Bullshit!" Chang Hu shouted, causing dust to fall from the top of the tent.
Gu Yanchen's heart was pounding and he turned around and rushed out of the tent.
"When did I ever give such an order!" He grabbed the long knife on the table and walked out quickly, but stopped at the door.
Now both of them were thinking about one thing, Li Zhongwu was probably going for hot weapons and Ran Qingxuan...
The anger in Gu Yanchen's eyes had turned into a bone-chilling chill, and that expression was even more frightening than when he was normally killing an enemy.
"The General is not going with you?"
Zhao Tiezhu was still a little confused and asked with some confusion.
Chang Hu stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingers: "I'm going to meet Military Advisor Zhao."
A trace of pain flashed in his eyes as he said, "Five years of comrades in arms... I want to ask, what benefits did the Yigui people promise him!"
"But...what if it's not..."
Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Xian are from the same family. They both joined the army and have always been Chang Hu's right-hand men. If the person he regarded as a brother is really a traitor, then...
Gu Yanchen rushed out of the general's tent and ran towards the tent where Ran Qingxuan was. The soldiers along the way saw that he had a murderous look on his face and made way for him.
In the distance, the tent was already in sight, but Gu Yanchen's heart sank to the bottom...
Outside the tent, Yuanbao was hunching his back and growling threateningly, and opposite him was Li Zhongwu who was approaching with his men!
"Li Zhongwu!"
Gu Yanchen's scalp tingled, and he quickly approached after a loud shout.
At this moment, Yuanbao suddenly jumped up and showed his claws towards Li Zhongwu who was retreating and turning around.
A cry of surprise came out of Li Zhongwu's mouth. At the critical moment, Ran Qingxuan, who had put on his clothes, quickly lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Yuanbao, stop now!"
The sharp claws had already grabbed Li Zhongwu's arm. Amid Ran Qingxuan's somewhat panicked voice, Yuanbao barely retracted his claws, but Li Zhongwu was still knocked to the ground by it.
“Don’t hurt anyone!”
Yuanbao had already bitten Li Zhongwu's neck, and his thick claws pressed tightly on his chest. The unique scent of beasts followed closely.
