Chapter 9: The active power is extremely powerful and the insult is extremely strong. ...
Xie Zechuan had a black veil covering his face, and holding Hu Yanlin's death token, he walked into the city gate of Beidi Kingdom openly.
He looked at the guard beside him and said, "Excuse me, where is His Royal Highness the Second Prince now? I have important intelligence to report to him about Beijiang City."
The guards took Xie Zechuan to Hu Yanlin's bedroom and then left.
Hu Yanlin was blindfolded and playing with the beauty: "My beauty, hide well, this prince is coming to catch you."
I saw him stretching out his hand and stumbling around, calling out for the beauty to come quickly.
The woman's charming laughter and Hu Yanlin's lewd laughter echoed throughout the bedroom and reached Xie Zechuan's ears. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and walked into the bedroom.
Xie Zechuan stood in the corner of the bedroom and watched the scene silently. Unexpectedly, Huyan Lin walked towards him. He wanted to avoid him but there was no way.
With his back pressed against the cold wall, Xie Zechuan was hugged by Hu Yanlin.
"My beauty, this prince has caught you."
Xie Zechuan felt increasingly disgusted after being touched several times by Hu Yanlin. He spoke up to stop Hu Yanlin and said, "Your Highness, the person you are arresting is a subordinate."
Pulling off the pink peony-patterned bellyband from his eyes, Hu Yanlin asked unkindly, "Why you? Can't you see that this prince is playing with the beauties?"
"I have obtained important intelligence about Beijiang City and would like to report it to Your Highness."
Hu Yanlin waved away the beauties in the bedroom and reluctantly said, "My beauties, I will come to see you tonight."
Hu Yanlin didn't directly ask what the information was. He glanced at Xie Zechuan's token and saw that he was wearing a mask. He asked, "Why are you wearing a mask?"
"I was meeting someone when I was discovered by soldiers from the Northern Frontier and was chased all the way. Although I managed to escape with my life, my face was completely disfigured. I was afraid of alarming my master, so I came here in disguise."
"Really?" Hu Yanlin smiled. "I'm not afraid of that. Take off your veil."
Seeing Xie Zechuan standing there without moving, Huyan Lin's smile widened.
"Didn't you hear? Take off your veil!"
Xie Zechuan still didn't move. A victorious smile appeared on Huyan Lin's lips. He walked forward and pulled off the black veil on Xie Zechuan's face.
Hu Yanlin looked unhappy, and the black veil was thrown back on Xie Zechuan's face.
"Wrap it up for me and don't show your ugly face!" Hu Yanlin roared.
Xie Zechuan took off the black veil from his face, covering a terrifying face covered with knife scars.
Hu Yanlin gulped down a glass of water, suppressing the discomfort in his stomach. Seeing that Xie Zechuan had already wrapped the black veil back over his face, he asked, "What are you still standing there for? Have you found out who forged that knife?"
"I found out."
Approaching Huyan Lin, Xie Zechuan leaned over and said something to him, his eyes dark and unclear.
"Is what you said true?" Xie Zechuan looked at Hu Yanlin's overjoyed expression, pursed his lips into a straight line, and nodded slightly at him.
"Okay, big reward!"
That evening, Hu Yanlin mentioned this matter during a meeting in the study.
Hu Yanlie was delighted when he heard this: "Great, Second Brother, you did exactly what I wanted!"
"I wonder where the news about my second brother came from?" Huyan Xu looked at Huyan Lin who was feeling very proud.
"My information was brought out from Beijiang City by my subordinates at the risk of their lives." Huyan Lin answered while looking at Huyan Lie who was in a higher position.
Upon hearing this, Huyan Lie became very curious about the subordinates that Huyan Lin mentioned.
"I didn't expect that the Second Master would have such a capable subordinate. Could you bring him here for me to see?"
"Of course." Hu Yanlin asked someone to call Xie Zechuan over.
Xie Zechuan was taken to the study. Looking at the person sitting in the study, a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
He bowed to everyone in the study one by one, and everyone had different expressions.
When Xie Zechuan saluted Dugu Xuan, Dugu Xuan narrowed his eyes and gestured for him to stand up.
He seemed to have seen this man's figure somewhere before.
"You have covered your face with a black veil, why don't you show your true face?" Dugu Xuan looked at Xie Zechuan suspiciously and asked.
Xie Zechuan saluted again: "My face is scary and I am afraid of scaring the masters, so I am wearing a black veil."
"General Dugu, I have verified this matter, and it is indeed terrifying." When saying this, Hu Yanlin thought of the face he saw in the bedroom today.
"Even so, this general would like to verify its authenticity."
The black veil on Xie Zechuan's face was removed again, and everyone trembled when they saw his true face under the veil.
"Put the black veil back on your face!" Hu Yanlin covered his slightly uncomfortable abdomen and bowed to Hu Yanlie. "I will have someone bring back this subordinate who disturbed my father."
When Xie Zechuan left the study, he looked back and his eyes met Dugu Xuan's.
He quickly looked away, as if the eye contact just now was just a coincidence.
The people in the study continued to discuss tomorrow's battle, and Hu Yanlie finally decided to attack the northern border again tomorrow.
"Now that the swordsmith is dead, the swords in Northern Frontier City will eventually be exhausted."
"Beijiang City is nothing to be afraid of."
Xie Zechuan, hiding on the roof, listened to what was happening in the study below.
Hu Yanxu suddenly asked, "Second brother, how are the family you captured from Beijiang City doing now?"
"They're still being held in my palace." Hu Yanlin raised an eyebrow and said pointedly, "If my subordinates hadn't accidentally captured that family, how would we have been able to obtain most of the confidential information about the Northern Frontier?"
He stood up and said to Hu Yanlie, "I, your son, wish you all the best in advance for conquering the northern border!"
The sound reached the rooftop, and Xie Zechuan clenched his fists. Is this the truth?
From what was said in the study, Xie Zechuan knew that Xin Ping had not revealed any more secrets to Beidi except the defense map of Beijiang City, and some of the secrets were missing.
No wonder Xin Ping was unwilling to utter a single word. He must be tormented by the future of his family and Beijiang City.
Xie Zechuan lowered his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow shuttled through the Beidi Royal City. Xie Zechuan came to Huyanlin's bedroom. He was ready to teach Huyanlin a lesson he would never forget.
He walked to Huyan Lin's bed and saw that he was sleeping soundly with the beautiful girl in his arms.
With a slash of his hand, Xie Zechuan knocked out the two people who were sleeping on the bed. After separating them, he took out a box from his arms.
The box was given to him by Zhou Tinglan, who said that it was extremely powerful and humiliating, and that it must not be opened without fail, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He didn't believe it at the time, and asked Zhou Tinglan with a smile: "Miss Zhou, can I ask you one more question: when will this item be available?"
"When you don't like someone, just pour the contents of the box on him."
Later, Xie Zechuan asked Zhou Tinglan about the recipe of this thing. Although the name was not very nice, they were all ordinary ingredients and he did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Stinky tofu, stinky dried tofu, stinky eggs, aged vinegar and salted fish.
The memory ended, Xie Zechuan opened the box, and the stench that hit him almost made him faint.
He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had never opened it privately because he listened to Zhou Tinglan's words. Oh my God, what on earth was this thing? It was comparable to poisonous gas in a toilet.
If Zhou Tinglan knew what Xie Zechuan was thinking at this moment, he would definitely smile with disdain.
"Man, this is stinky tofu eggs. It can stink you to death. If you take a sip, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Xie Zechuan held his breath and poured all the contents of the box onto Hu Yanlin, even pouring some more on his face. He didn't know if Hu Yanlin swallowed some of it with his slightly moving lips and teeth.
Unable to bear the stench, Xie Zechuan hurriedly fled from Hu Yanlin's bedroom.
It stinks!
The next day, screams were heard from Huyan Lin's bedroom. Huyan Xu rushed to see what was happening and covered his mouth and nose as soon as he entered the room.
"Hey, second brother, how many days have you not taken a bath? You've become pickled."
"Shut up!"
Hu Yanlin was already so angry that his mind was not clear. He angrily shouted at the guards beside him who were also covering their mouths and noses, "They are all useless. They didn't even know someone had sneaked into the bedroom. Investigate, investigate!"
The guard turned to leave, but was stopped by Hu Yanlin: "Go and see how the imprisoned family is doing."
Hearing this, Xie Zechuan stepped forward and saluted Hu Yanlin: "Master, may I go with you to take a look?"
Hu Yanlin was feeling annoyed at the moment and was about to scold him, but when he saw that the person coming was Xie Zechuan, he angrily waved his sleeves and agreed to his request.
After Xie Zechuan met the imprisoned person and confirmed that they were Xin Ping's parents and relatives, he went back to report to Hu Yanlin that the imprisoned person was still there.
Two tall and handsome horses came galloping from the direction of the city gate.
"Report, a large number of Northern Frontier City soldiers were spotted outside the city!"
Xie Zechuan's pupils changed in shock. He knocked out the guard who came with him and turned back to where Xin Ping's parents and relatives were imprisoned.
"You Northern Di people have done so many evil things. Our General Xie will never forgive you." Seeing Xie Zechuan return, the older woman said viciously.
Xie Zechuan signaled everyone to be silent: "I am Xie Zechuan, and I have come here specifically to save you."
Although they had not seen Xie Zechuan's face, most people had already recognized him.
"Thank you, General, you came to save us!" The people present were overjoyed, they were saved!
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. I'll take everyone out first."
Xie Zechuan had almost toured the entire Beidi Kingdom yesterday. He and his men hid in a secluded place near the city gate.
"Hide here first and don't make any noise."
"What happened to General Xie?"
Xie Zechuan shook his head, indicating that he wanted to go out to investigate the situation. The woman took his hand and reminded him to be careful.
"General Xie, you are a hero of our Northern Frontier. You must not be in any harm."
Xie Zechuan nodded to show that he understood, and left.
Outside the city wall of Beidi, Qin Sinian was looking at the woman sitting beside him on a tall horse, while Zhou Tinglan was staring at the city wall of Beidi that was vaguely visible in the distance.
He recalled the scene yesterday when Xie Zechuan called the two of them and told them that he was going to Beidi Kingdom again.
"Zechuan, we are now at the critical moment of the war. Beidi Nation will surely be on high alert, just like Beijiang City. What will we do if something unexpected happens to you?"
Xie Zechuan naturally knew that this trip would be much more dangerous than the last time. He called him and Miss Zhou here today to make arrangements for his funeral arrangements. He took out a box from the desk and handed it to him, indicating that he should open it and take a look.
He took the box, opened it, took a look, snapped it shut, and stuffed it back into Xie Zechuan's hands like a hot potato: "Zechuan, I can't accept this."
Xie Zechuan was not angry when he forced the box back into his hand. He took the box back in silence.
However, when he came to the tent to look for Xie Zechuan the next day, no one was there.
Xie Zechuan left a sealed letter on his desk stating that he had gone to Beidi Kingdom, and that the affairs of the barracks would be jointly presided over by Qin Sinian, Xu Cheng and Zhou Tinglan.
Miss Zhou looked up at the sky in the direction of the border and said to him beside her, "Deputy General Qin, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Miss Zhou, there's no need to be polite. Just speak frankly."
"Deputy General Qin, it would be extremely dangerous for General Xie to sneak into the Northern Di Kingdom alone. The Northern Di will attack Beijiang City again sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them to attack, why not take the initiative to attack from the city?"
He was stunned: "Wouldn't Zechuan's situation be even more dangerous?"
If we take the initiative to attack, and Zechuan's identity is exposed in the city, then...
He didn't dare to think about it any further.
"General Xie's infiltration this time is different from your last time. He disguised himself as one of Hu Yanlin's assassins. He must have known about our attack while he was in the city."
"Miss Zhou, what do you mean by that after Zechuan learns about this, he will do something in Beidi to collude with us?"
"Exactly."
He saw Miss Zhou looking towards Xie Zechuan's tent: "I think he must have considered it after hearing the news of our attack. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be Xie Zechuan that day."
Qin Sinian stopped thinking and ordered his soldiers: "Now the Northern Di people have bullied our northern border first. Instead of waiting for them to bully us, why don't we take the initiative to attack and beat the Northern Di!"
The soldiers' blood boiled when they heard this.
Yes, the Northern Di people have long bullied the people in the northern border cities, including both civilians and soldiers.
Having been suppressed for too long, they also wanted to have a good fight with the Northern Di.
The last time the Northern Di suddenly attacked, if it weren't for the sword forged by Miss Zhou, it would have been a fierce battle.
The enemy was at the gates, unstoppable. The soldiers from the Northern Frontier were looking at the gate of the Northern Di Kingdom in front of them.
We must win this battle!
Just across the wall from Zhou Tinglan, Xie Zechuan saw Dugu Xuan rushing over.
He mixed in with the Northern Di soldiers and climbed up the city wall. He immediately saw Zhou Tinglan standing beside Qin Sinian. She was dressed in black armor like a soldier today, and her temperament was completely different from what she usually saw.
Xie Zechuan was slightly stunned. Why did Miss Zhou come here? Was she worried that he would be hurt?
A sense of fulfillment inexplicably welled up in his heart. Xie Zechuan didn't know where this feeling of fulfillment came from, but he enjoyed it and didn't reject it.
Zhou Tinglan naturally also saw Xie Zechuan on the city wall. Although his face was covered with a black veil, his figure was tall and straight, and his temperament was completely different from the surrounding Beidi soldiers, just like the first time they met in the forging room of the weapons factory.
Good boy, Xie Zechuan is indeed capable and has the potential to be a spy.
She thought to herself that Xie Zechuan did not disappoint her, and then she saw Xie Zechuan making a gesture towards her. Although the two were far apart, Zhou Tinglan understood what Xie Zechuan meant.
Zhou Tinglan smiled back to show that he understood.
She saw Xie Zechuan turn around and disappear on the city wall, and turned to look at Qin Sinian: "Deputy General Qin, General Xie just told me that he would cooperate with the attack."
Qin Sinian was at a loss. He looked around but couldn't find anyone who looked like Xie Zechuan.
"Miss Zhou, where is Zechuan?"
Zhou Tinglan pointed to the top of the city wall. He had just gone down and must be going to do something.
On the city wall, Dugu Xuan looked down at the Northern Frontier soldiers and said disdainfully, "Deputy General Qin, why didn't you send General Xie here to lead the soldiers to attack?"
"My presence is enough. We don't need General Xie to come in person to fight you Northern Di barbarians."
"Okay." Dugu Xuan ordered the Northern Di soldiers on the city walls to immediately shoot arrows to drive away the Northern Frontier soldiers.
Several arrows were fired at once, and the soldiers of the Northern Frontier used their swords to cut off the arrows in front of them. In the absence of a shield, surprisingly no one was seriously injured by the arrows. Only a few soldiers were scratched by the fragments of the arrows that were broken into two sections.
Seeing this, Dugu Xuan snatched the longbow from a soldier and shot the arrow himself, but still to no avail.
In a fit of rage, he was about to ask the soldiers to bring kerosene and set off rockets.
From under the city wall came the panicked voices of the Northern Di soldiers.
"General Dugu, the city gate... the city gate is open!"
