An Yi returned quickly. "Your Highness, Your Highness, General Wei does indeed have pimple marks on his arm, but these marks have healed and don't look like they were recently applied. General Wei was ill for a period of time before and never came out to see anyone."
It's healed?!
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance. The smallpox vaccination had only been done recently, and Wei Xuebin was the last one to be vaccinated. The wounds of the other soldiers were still red and swollen, so why had his already healed?
Unless, Wei Xuebin had already been vaccinated against smallpox!
But they haven't arrived yet, so which type of smallpox vaccine should he get?!
When these questions are combined, an answer becomes clear!
The rest is just a matter of argumentation.
Su Ruojin stood up. "Let's go see that spy from Bei Li."

As night fell, Wei Xuebin, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly heard a familiar night bird call.
He suddenly sat up in bed, quickly dressed, and left the tent.
It was nearly midnight, and most of the soldiers in the army had already fallen asleep, with only a few on patrol remaining.
Wei Xuebin skillfully evaded the patrolmen, arrived outside the camp, and walked straight into the woods.
Arriving at a large tree, a masked Northern Li man emerged from behind it.
When Wei Xuebin saw the person who came, he lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I say not to contact him recently? Xiao Yanchu is still in the army. If he is found out, we're finished."
"Oh, really? General Wei, could you explain what's finished?"
The masked man pulled off his mask, revealing himself to be Xiao Yanchu, whom Wei Xuebin had just mentioned!
Suddenly, flames lit up all around, and Wei Xuebin was surrounded.
Even in the darkness and firelight, Wei Xuebin's face was visibly pale.
It’s over!
That word was the only word that flashed through his mind at that moment.
He didn't know how Xiao Yanchu knew his coded communication with Bei Li.
Wei Xuebin has been locked up.
However, he was a tough guy and wouldn't talk no matter what kind of interrogation he was subjected to.
Wei Xuebin knew very well that if he spoke up, the Wei family would be finished; if he didn't speak up, no one could convict him based on his words alone.
Wei Xuebin had just been interrogated and was beaten and locked in a military prison cell when suddenly a man in a black cloak entered the cell in the middle of the night.
"General Wei."
Wei Xuebin squinted at his swollen, red eyes, his vision somewhat blurred.
He looked up at the person who had come in, but the cell was dimly lit, and he couldn't immediately recognize who it was.
"General Wei, would you consider cooperating with me? I can save you and help you escape to safety."
If the general is taken back to the Great Chu, even if the Duke of Dingguo's mansion can save the general's life, can the general still sit in this position again?
Or is the general willing to bear the infamy of treason and live a life of ignominy?
As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." If the general is willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that your future achievements will surpass those of today.
The person who came spoke in a low voice. Wei Xuebin felt that the voice sounded familiar, but after being tortured, his mind was blank and he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Who are you?" Wei Xuebin asked.
He wasn't stupid; anyone who could infiltrate a military prison at this time of year was no ordinary person.
"General Wei, you don't need to know who I am. You only need to consider whether to cooperate with me." The man lowered his head, his voice still deep.
Wei Xuebin gave a cold laugh, seemingly mocking himself, "I'm nothing but a prisoner now, what can I possibly cooperate with?"
"General Wei underestimates himself. With your skills and strategies, you're just missing an opportunity. In Great Chu, you're always overshadowed by Su Wenzhou. Why not consider changing your location and having more room to showcase your abilities?" The newcomer's voice seemed to carry a seductive quality.
Should we go somewhere else?
