Chapter 50: The Mole
As soon as Shen Yue saw the commotion outside, he rushed to the tent and looked into the distance worriedly, listening to the sound as if there had been an explosion just now, someone must have broken into the camp to assassinate, the military camp was so tightly defended, and it was possible to break through the defense so accurately locate the Chinese military tent to detonate the gunpowder, there must be spies involved, after the sacrifice was completed today, as soon as the officers and soldiers relaxed their vigilance, they suddenly attacked, it seems that they have been planning for a long time, fortunately, Zhu Di and the others were attracted by the fragrance of the food and escaped a catastrophe.

"Your Highness, the soldiers don't know that you are all going to the Chinese army to escort you here, you hide here first, and I will go out to gather the brothers." Chang Mao pushed Shen Yue back into the tent, blew out the lights and was about to go out.
"The thieves are powerful, and I will also go to the outer camp to find General Mu for support." Shen Yue didn't feel at ease waiting here, Pinglan and Shen Xiangyun went out to deliver food to Mu Ying for a while, and the two of them must not have an accident.
Zhu Di stood up and said calmly: "There is no need to panic, the thieves are afraid that they not only want my life, the focus is on those auspicious grains, General Chang will go with me to take down this group of thieves, it is important to protect the food, General Mu They will definitely come over soon when they hear the movement, Brother Shen will take me to the road to answer it, so as not to have other tricks for the thieves." Although Zhu Di is young, he is also a battle-hardened and leading general, who is not afraid of danger at this time and calmly arranges.
"Yes. Food is important, and I will also go with the sweet potatoes that have not been harvested in the field. Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, also got up and said.
The situation was critical, Chang Mao didn't say much, took out a short knife and handed it to Shen Yue, "Be careful yourself." ”
Out of the camp tent, Shen Yue ran down the mountain, here has built a two-meter-wide mountain road, winding to the camp under the mountain, two miles apart, because the mountain is inconvenient for the army to be stationed, so only Chang Mao's more than 1,000 people and Yan Wang Zhu Di's personal entourage stationed, and Mu Ying led the army to defend at the mouth of the valley. Although it was difficult to see clearly at night, from a distance, I saw the torches in the camp outside, and it seemed that I had heard the movement on the mountain and was preparing to go.
The dark mountain road could not be seen clearly, Shen Yue was worried, ran too quickly, accidentally tripped over a stone on the road, and his body could not control and rolled out of the mountain road, although the hillside is not steep, but it is enough to kill people by rolling down like this.
"Who is so immoral, throwing stones on such a narrow mountain road" Shen Yue scolded in his heart, unwilling to die like this, although he is still a young man's body, the strength of his thin arms and legs is not great, and it is difficult to stop the castration of the fall, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on grabbing the ground with his hands, the sharp stone chips cut his palm, the blood flowed endlessly, and the pain of drilling his heart could not resist the persistence in Shen Yue's heart.
What is this injury, isn't it just a little blood, I still have something to do, and there are still people waiting for me.
Maybe it was this persistence that moved the heavens, and the downward force was suddenly stopped, Shen Yue's body hit the object behind him hard, but he didn't feel too much pain from the impact, he raised his hand and groped behind him, and it was soft that there were a few corpses, and there was still residual warmth.
It was too dark to see what these corpses looked like, probably soldiers patrolling the mountain road, who were killed by the enemy and thrown down the hillside. The enemy may have set up an ambush on this mountain path, and it may be their fault to stumble over their own rocks. Seeing that the officers and men under the mountain were about to leave the camp and go up the mountain, they must rush there immediately, so as not to be blocked by the enemy and fall into the trap.
Shen Yue bowed to the corpse, got up with difficulty, found a dead branch to support his body, and did not return to the mountain road, passing through the bushes, and staggering down the mountain.
A group of men and horses in the outer camp had already lit torches and rushed out and galloped along the mountain road.
Mu Ying was riding on a horse at this time, and the sound of the explosion from the mountain just now made him anxious, the two princes and Xiangrui Grain were on it, and any loss was unbearable. This mountain road has been patrolled by soldiers before, but since the explosion, the torches on the mountain road have been extinguished, and several strongholds along the road are guarded, if it is not for acquaintances, it will definitely be detected in advance, and the army has been purged once before, but I didn't expect them to have people who have endured so far.
"General, we caught a eunuch in front, and he said that he had something important to report." One of the guards scurried over and said.
"General Mu, hurry up and save His Royal Highness King Yan, there is an enemy attacking the camp, His Royal Highness King Zhou has been blown up, and King Yan was also injured and captured by them." A eunuch with messy hair and a black ash face was helped over by the soldiers, and when he saw Mu Ying, he sat on the ground and cried and shouted.
"Don't make a noise, where did they arrest His Highness?" Mu Ying was extremely impatient with this man's duck-like sharp voice, and stopped him from shouting and disturbing the morale of the army.
"The slave is His Royal Highness King Yan and the eunuch Xiao Guizi, the mountain is now a mess, they grabbed King Yan and went down the mountain from there, I sneaked out to report the news, the general quickly took people around the back mountain to intercept it, and it was still too late."
Mu Ying hesitated in his heart, this eunuch he had seen during the day, and it was indeed a person from King Yan's side, but the incident happened suddenly, and he had to act cautiously, but if it was really as he said, King Zhou was already dead, and if King Yan had another accident, he would be dead and unable to redeem.
"Zhao Meng, you take a thousand people to rescue the mountain immediately, and the rest will be transferred to the back mountain with me to intercept."
Hearing this, the eunuch sitting on the ground secretly rejoiced, this time they can divide most of their forces to leave, but if the 1,000 people go up the mountain immediately, the chances of victory are great, enough to stop them on the mountain road for a moment, and the right envoy is really clever, and he only needs to take the opportunity to escape later.
"General, this is the direction, let's hurry up."
"Wait a minute...... the eunuch was really about to get up and leave with Mu Ying and the others, but suddenly there was a shout in the distance, and it changed suddenly, and he couldn't help frowning.
"It's Brother Shen, General Mu." Zhao Meng heard the voice of the person, and hurriedly dismounted and ran over to answer.
"Hurry up and go up the mountain to save people, the enemy is coming for the two princes and Xiangrui." Shen Yue held Zhao Meng and said panting.
"General Mu, it was he who colluded with foreign enemies and brought the enemy up the mountain, and he also gave him those gunpowders." The eunuch was in a hurry, and pointed at Shen Yue and called.
Shen Yue ran dizzy, and only then did he realize that the eunuch in front of him didn't expect that he finally ran over and was bitten back.
"You eunuch is full of nonsense, how can the Shen Dong family be a bad person, I think you are a traitor!" Zhao Meng is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and when he saw Shen Yue being slandered, he was furious.
Mu Ying has been in the killing field for a long time and has experience, so he had doubts about the eunuch's words, and when he saw Shen Yue coming, he naturally wanted to ask for an understanding, and he would never believe that the eunuch's accusation that Shen Yue was a traitor, so he also turned over and dismounted and came to Shen Yue.
"You drink saliva first and slow down, how are the two princes?"
"They are all fine, and General Chang went to save food, which is the token of King Yan. Where are they? Where can Shen Yue care about drinking water, and hurriedly asked.
