Ji Changying looked at her seriously and said, "If what I said is wrong, I am willing to bear the consequences. But if military intelligence is delayed because of your disbelief, more than one life will be lost."
Wei Ying subconsciously tightened her grip on the reins. She closed her eyes briefly, then reopened them with a decisive decision. She looked toward the city wall and spoke loudly, "Red Sleeves Army member Wei Ying has discovered the enemy and is reporting this to Commander Kou!"
The commander at the city gate was skeptical when he heard this, so he hurried down the city wall and had someone open a crack in the gate so he could get out.
Wei Ying stepped forward alone, holding the Red Sleeves Army badge.
"Wei Ying of the Red Sleeves Army has discovered the enemy and has come here to report the news. Please let us in!"
"Enemy information? Where did you find it?"
The gatekeeper looked at Wei Ying suspiciously.
They had been guarding this city gate all night, so how could they not see anything wrong? They had left Xinyangguan before sunset, so how could they have noticed anything?
Wei Ying's face was serious: "I'm sorry I can't tell you before I see the captain."
The guarding general's face changed again and again. Since the other party was so confident and had to see the captain before telling him, it proved that it was not a trivial matter.
He yelled behind him, "Open the door!"
Wei Ying waved behind him, and the Gan County garrison all followed him with stern faces.
After all of them underwent routine inspections, they were escorted by the soldiers guarding the city and sent directly to the station.
The Gan County garrison had a puzzled look on their faces. They walked forward a little, caught up with Wei Ying, and asked in a low voice, "Captain Wei, what do you mean by this? It's fine if you chased us out of nowhere, but now why are you..."
They didn't want to lie about the military intelligence, so they just looked at her with grim expressions.
Wei Ying said with a stern face: "Don't say anything later, wait for me to speak."
Ji Changchuan and Ji Changying also got off the carriage and followed behind. Ji Changchuan lowered his voice quietly. "Sister, will they believe it?"
"have no idea."
Although she and Captain Kou were acquaintances and had a good relationship.
But how could she know the other party's attitude on serious matters?
Because they came to report the enemy situation, they did not encounter any obstruction. All of them were taken directly to Captain Kou's tent. Only Wei Ying was qualified to enter.
She took a deep breath, looked at where Ji Changying was, and walked in.
Ji Changying's supernatural power followed her into the tent.
This tent was only slightly larger and simply furnished. Apart from a wooden screen separating the meeting area from the sleeping area, there was nothing else.
Although it was already midnight, Kou Jiming was still sitting there, fully dressed, waiting. As soon as he met him, he asked directly, "I rushed here in the middle of the night because I heard you had news to report?"
"Yes! I just received news that a group of cavalrymen are approaching from the southwest of the pass. They are also driving away a group of patients infected with the plague."
Kou Jiming's expression, which had been relatively calm, changed drastically after hearing this: "Cavalry?! And people infected with the plague?! How many of them are there in total? Where is the main force?"
Wei Ying hadn't had time to ask Ji Changying these questions before, but now that they were suddenly put in front of her, she paused.
She really doesn't know.
"Tell me! How many people are there? Where did you see them? And how did you receive the news?"
Seeing that Wei Ying didn't answer, Kou Jiming slammed the armrest of his chair and glared at her, very dissatisfied with her distraction.
Ji Changying had never seen Uncle Kou like this before. She was a little surprised but also felt it was reasonable.
Sweat dripped down Wei Ying's forehead. She clasped her hands together in shame and said, "After hearing the news, I was worried that I might have missed the important matter, so I rushed over without asking any questions. The person who knows the news is outside right now. Please summon them, Captain!"
"Who is it? Bring the person in!" Kou Jiming waved his hand and asked his confidant at the door to bring the person in.
Wei Ying hurriedly caught up. Seeing Ji Changying, she sighed, "I wanted to take full responsibility, but suddenly realized that I hadn't thought it through and didn't ask clearly. Don't be nervous later. Just answer whatever Captain Kou asks."
Ji Changying nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I'm not nervous."
Ji Changchuan watched eagerly as his sister followed the others into the tent.
Kou Jiming thought that the people who knew the news might be people in the military.
But he didn't expect that the person who came in was Ji Changying. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at her seriously as if he was looking at a stranger: "Is this the news you know? How did you know it?"
"Captain, my ears have always been very sharp. I can hear sounds about five or six miles away."
Ji Changying closed her eyes, moved her ears, and opened them again: "Those cavalrymen are already three miles away!"
Kou Jiming looked at her in disbelief: "Already three miles away?!"
Ji Changying looked him straight in the eye. "Yes, it's three miles away. If those infected with the epidemic hadn't had diarrhea slowing them down, they would have reached the checkpoint by now."
Kou Jiming felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Ji Changying was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Hearing this, he did not hesitate at all and shouted to the outside: "Someone come!"
The confidant at the door came in immediately: "Captain!"
"Yang Xiong, take your scouts to different directions to see if there's any activity outside the pass. Focus on the southwest to see if there are any cavalry there! Report back immediately if you have any news."
"yes!"
"Chu Dawu! Immediately notify the generals and the left and right lieutenants to come and discuss the start of the war. Wake up all the people stationed there and wait for orders!"
"yes!"
The two men's faces straightened and they took the order and left in a hurry.
Wei Ying looked at Kou Jiming with some surprise. She thought it would be difficult to convince the captain, but she didn't expect him to accept it so easily?
After seeing the people leave, Kou Jiming looked at Ji Changying unhappily: "How could you not sleep in the middle of the night? Where did you hear the news?"
Hearing this familiar tone, Ji Changying also relaxed and became more casual: "It's a long story..."
She repeated the words she had prepared in advance to deceive Wei Ying, and then explained: "If it weren't for those arrows on the city wall that blocked my way, I might have caught up with him."
Kou Jiming was very suspicious: "When you saw someone, you didn't just chase him, but you chased him on horseback?"
He had heard from the prince that her running skills were very powerful, and if she chased him directly, she might be faster than a horse, so why would she need to drive a carriage!
"Well, I have my brother with me! How could I just abandon him?"
Kou Jiming reluctantly accepted this explanation.
Just those few dark shadows...
Wei Ying finally understood that the two knew each other!
"Report! The military officer and two lieutenants are waiting outside the door. Do you want to see them?"
Kou Jiming didn't have time to think about the black shadow. When he heard this, his expression froze and he coughed twice. "The news hasn't been verified yet. You'll just have to bear with it for now."
"Someone! Take them down!"
