Chapter 86: Exposed

"What did he say?"

He said......"

Hearing Liu Pi ask about the confession of the spy, Gong Du wanted to open his mouth to reply.

But after thinking about it, he was certainly not as convincing as the spies who spoke directly, so he ordered the spies they had caught to be brought into the hall.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Gong Du raise his leg and kick the "spy" to the ground:

"Say what you said before, repeat it! If you dare to tell half a lie, Lao Tzu will chop you now! ā€

After speaking, he stabbed the long sword in his hand on the wooden floor, and the spy was so frightened that he trembled:

"I said, I said, please spare your life!"

The spy lying on the ground, wearing the uniform of the Lu Army, was about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair and sharp beak and monkey gills, and a thin body.

His face was covered with muddy blood, and his legs and feet were not very bright, and it seemed that he was beaten up a lot after being caught.

If you take a closer look, this person's face is still a little familiar, it is the old fritter who fought with Huaxing the day before yesterday and was reprimanded by the other party - Duan Hongguang.

If you want to ask him why he was caught by the thieves, you have to start with the meeting with Huaxing the day before yesterday.

It is true that he was trained by Huaxing that day, but Duan Hongguang is not a guy who easily reforms himself.

On the first day of exploring, he still had the mentality of wandering in the mountains for a day, and when he returned to the camp in the evening, he only replied "I found nothing".

However, when he saw that Li Ang, who was about the same age as himself, actually received a reward of five taels that night, this time Duan Hongguang was stimulated!

Although he doesn't like to work, under the temptation of real money, Duan Hongguang, who is also facing the crisis of "retirement", made up his mind on the spot, planning to search for it the next day, and strive to mix a few taels of silver.

Judging from the report on the first day, a lot of the information he knew before had been said.

If he searched these places again, it probably didn't make much sense.

So in order not to repeat it to others, he decisively embarked on a dangerous journey and walked straight to the cottage.

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get the tiger, and he wants to take advantage of the night to find some useful information from around the village.

Although the idea is radical, as long as he is vigilant at all times, it stands to reason that no one will find out.

But who knows, this guy has just been looking for less than two hours, and he feels that his body is sleepy and tired, and he can't bear it, so he hides behind a rock pile, planning to rest for a while.

As a result, after just sitting for a minute, Duan Hongguang, who was resting on the boulder, accidentally fell asleep!

It wasn't until the next morning that I was woken up by a roar.

When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by a group of thieves patrolling the mountains, and it was too late to escape, so he could only be captured and captured back to Dazhai......

In the hall, after glancing at Duan Hongguang lying on the ground, a trace of suspicion quickly flashed in Liu Pi's eyes.

According to common sense, when selecting candidates for "spies", most of them will choose some guys who are younger, have better eyes, and have convenient legs and feet.

But the person in front of him is obviously not young, and his legs and feet are not very neat. Using this kind of guy as a spy, Liu Bi is really the first time I've seen it.

After thinking for a while, I saw him drinking "morning tea" and asking:

"What's your last name?" What is your status in the military? ā€

In Duan Hongguang's consciousness, he never thought of keeping it secret for the army.

He came out to serve as a soldier just to eat and earn some military salaries, and he had no loyalty at all.

Now that he has been captured by the enemy, as long as he can save his life, you can let him say anything.

Therefore, under the coercion of Gong Du, Duan Hongguang had already confessed cleanly.

At this moment, when Liu Bi asked about himself again, he would not hide it at all, and opened his mouth and said:

"The old man Duan Hongguang is the cook in Lu Bu's army."

"Cook?" Liu Bi frowned, and said with a puzzled expression:

"You're a cook...... What is the purpose of running near my cottage? ā€

"Well, I—I'm here to get information."

Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Duan Hongguang told Liu Pi about Huaxing letting them come out to search for information.

In order to increase his credibility, he even told the other party about the five taels of silver that Li Ang received last night, without missing the slightest.

"Oh? According to what you mean, Huaxing sent a lot of people to find the weakness of the cottage? ā€

"Yes, yes. Counting last night's addition, there are a total of thirty people, and the old man is one of them. ā€

"And how did you get caught?"

"Well, the old man is old, and he was a little tired after just a few steps, and he wanted to rest for a while, but he accidentally fell asleep."

"Asleep? Hehe, you're really a 'competent' spy, huh? After shaking his head and laughing for a while, he listened to Liu Bi's voice and said:

"Okay, then tell me again, where is Lu Bu's army hiding now?"

Hearing the words "Lu Bu's army", Duan Hongguang was instantly stunned, and he didn't understand what Liu Pi meant by this:

"Hui, Hui, Lord Hui, General Lu didn't come! He, he's always been in Hongnong City. ā€

"Didn't come?" As soon as these words came out, I saw Liu Bi holding his chin, his eyes were shaking, and he said in disbelief:

"You said Lu Bu didn't come? Whose ambush was that? ā€

"Ambush? What ambush? ā€

After a few words, Duan Hongguang became more and more incomprehensible, and said with a confused expression: "I haven't heard of ambushes?" ā€

"None? Hum! ā€

Seeing that Duan Hongguang refused to admit it, Liu Bi snorted coldly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"If not, then how do you explain the footprints and stoves in the jungle west of the barracks?"

"Footprints? Cooker? Duan Hongguang said with an aggrieved face:

"Great, sir, I don't understand what you're saying! It's true that the old man is in charge of cooking, but we never go to the woods! ā€

"Humph! Still dare to be hard-mouthed? I think you're impatient, old fellow, aren't you? ā€

Speaking of this, I saw Liu Bi suddenly get up and throw the golden wire ring knife leaning on the chair at Duan Hongguang!

It happened to be half a meter in front of him, and the old man was so frightened that his whole body was tense, sweating profusely, and he almost urinated his pants.

"Don't think we don't know, our army discovered something strange in the forest a few days ago. If you don't tell the truth, I'll send you back to the West now!" ā€

In Duan Hongguang's opinion, he has confessed everything he can explain, and he really doesn't hide it at all.

But the other party was still not satisfied, and even forced him with his life, which stumped Duan Hongguang and knelt on the ground on the spot and thought about it.

About half a minute later, it really reminded him of something, and his face showed an epiphany:

"Huh! I thought about it, remembered that the old man knew what was going on with the stove! ā€

"Say!"

"I remember that a few days ago, General Hua ordered someone to take a lot of pots and bowls from the old man, but he didn't say what they were for, and he never returned them to me afterwards. I used to wonder what General Hua wanted the stove for, but now that I hear you say this, I understand that those stoves must have been put in the woods by him to pretend to use! ā€
