Chapter 481 Catching the Spy



The third prince first sent someone to inform the barbarians of the news.

Then come to the tent as quickly as possible.

As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to ask, "Why is the prince suddenly assembling an army?

Our food and fodder are not yet fully stocked, and sending troops at this time would be too dangerous."

King Bing Jian smiled and said, "The Emperor is urging us to do so, so we have no choice but to raise an army.

Moreover, the barbarian troops are retreating, so there is no danger even if we advance.

Your Highness, please rest assured.

There will be absolutely no danger in following me into battle."

The third prince was extremely anxious because the military action was too sudden.

It takes time to send the message out, and if we don't prepare in time, we may suffer a blow.

"But suddenly they asked for cavalry, and my army is not ready yet.

Why not wait a little longer for my army to gather before we march out?"

King Bing Xiang saw that he was delaying, so there must be a problem.

Moreover, the people from Sun Moon Commandery had sent back news several times, telling him that the Third Prince was in close contact with the barbarians and that he must be extra careful.

The more anxious he became, the more the King of Side by Side was convinced that he had something to hide.

King Bing Jian did not expose the truth and said with a smile, "Since your Highness's army has not yet been assembled, there is no need to rush.

The main force will go first, and the others will follow later.

It's just about occupying more land, not necessarily going to war.

It doesn’t matter if there are more or fewer people.”

"But!"

"It's okay. The military is as strong as a mountain! Besides, this is also the emperor's wish. We can't wait any longer."

King Bing Xiang did not give the third prince a chance to stop him.

"All soldiers, listen up! Move out immediately!"

The third prince was extremely anxious, not knowing whether to follow or not.

I can only stay and continue to delay time.

At least his army did not keep up with him, and he did not send him to deal with the barbarians.

Not long after they arrived, a team escorting two people came forward quickly.

"Your Majesty, these two men sneaked out of the military camp.

They said they were the Third Prince's men.

But my subordinates discovered that they were rushing towards the barbarian camp, so they intercepted them."

King Bing Jian angrily scolded him: "What do you two want to do by running into the barbarian camp?"

The two people in front of them felt uneasy. They knew very well that if they told it out, they might even lose their lives.

He lowered his head and refused to speak.

King Bing Jian was too lazy to pay attention to them: "Since you don't want to talk about pulling down the beheading."

The two were frightened when they heard this. They originally thought that if they kept silent, they would at most be imprisoned. After hearing about this, the Third Prince would definitely come to rescue them.

Unexpectedly, the King wanted to execute them without mercy.

This scared them.

"We are the servants of His Royal Highness the Third Prince and we are doing what he orders.

You can’t kill us!”

"Even if you are a prince, you can't interfere with the Third Prince's affairs, right?"

King Bing Jian had gone through countless storms, so how could he be frightened by these two people?

Pretending to be even angrier, he said, "You dare to slander the Third Prince? You really deserve to die."

Come here.

Let them both be executed by slow slicing as a token of respect."

The more he defended himself, the heavier the punishment would be.

The two people were almost scared to death.

Lingchi is an extremely severe torture, and some people would rather be beheaded than endure it.

He was so frightened that his body went limp and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"I said, I hope that if we come out honestly, the prince will spare our lives!"

"Speak first. I will listen to whether it is true or not before considering whether to spare you."

The two people had no choice but to look at each other and completely give up resistance.

"In reply to your Highness, we are delivering a letter to the barbarian camp under the orders of the Third Prince."

"What letter? Who should I send it to?"

"Send it to the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion and tell them that the prince has launched an attack and that they should be prepared."

Although King Bing Xiang had been prepared in his heart, he was still extremely heartbroken.

Yunlu Pavilion and the Third Prince colluded with each other to help the barbarians. Who would dare to believe it?

He actually did something like selling out his country for personal gain.

To confirm that they were not lying, the King of Sides was furious: "You dare to frame the Third Prince now? I think you are tired of living."

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, please believe us!

If we tell a lie, we will be tortured to death."

"What we said is true. The Grand Elder of Yunlu Pavilion and the head disciple Shi Wushuang are both in the barbarian camp.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Third Prince provided them with a large amount of fine iron, weapons, and food.

They were all transported through Yunlu Pavilion.

If His Majesty doesn't believe us, you can send someone to accompany us."

The generals around him were extremely angry when they heard this.

They were fighting desperately on the front line, but Yunlu Pavilion and the Third Prince took the opportunity to make a fortune from the war.

Is this fair to the people who were killed?

"With so many people here as witnesses, if you dare to go back on your word later, I will skin you alive."

The King shouted angrily.

"I dare not regret it!"

"Take them down and keep them under strict guard. If they dare to escape, kill them immediately."

By keeping these people, King Bingjian obtained evidence of Yunlu Pavilion and the Third Prince's rebellion.

On the surface, he remained calm and led his army to continue the attack.

Because there was no time to report the news, the barbarians were not prepared at all.

In addition, all their energy was focused on the Lingshuang cavalry.

Because someone inside had tipped off the group, not too many scouts were deployed to keep an eye on the situation.

By the time they discovered it, the imperial army had already arrived.

Zhao Wudi led his army without stopping, searching for his cavalry at an extremely fast speed.

The guerrilla cavalry were all very excited to see Zhao Wudi finally return.

Gather quickly, send out more cavalry, and notify the rest of the army.

Together we march towards the barbarian army.

Li Ye and his team rested for half the night and then continued on their journey.

The atmosphere of the entire army is completely different from before.

Each one of them is full of passion and fighting spirit.

Li Ye and Yue Fengyi looked at each other from time to time, and the friendship in their eyes was almost overflowing.

"Your Majesty, the barbarian camp is a hundred miles ahead.

Do you want to launch an attack?"

The scout ran over quickly and reported the news.

"Is there any need to say more? If we rush through and capture the barbarian king in one go, we will have won most of the battle." Yue Fengyi said without hesitation.

"Wait, don't rush! Send out scouts to check around.

We were so close and the barbarian army didn't make any movement.

This is a bit unusual!" Li Ye acted very cautiously.

It can be seen that Yue Fengyi wanted to show off in front of him and also to please himself, so he was determined to win as soon as possible regardless of anything.

But the more this happens, the more likely danger will occur.

Shangguan Tianyi nodded repeatedly beside him.

There were satisfied smiles on their faces.

Li Ye did not disappoint him.

Always keep a very clear head.

No matter how powerful an army is, there is a limit to its strength.

The enemy couldn't possibly be unaware of this attack as they've been killing their way here.

Don't be careless.
