It was already late at night, and the general's mansion was still solemn, although there were many people, no one spoke, only the sound of clothes hunting and hunting in the action room, and the sound of metal colliding was endless, which made the atmosphere a little subtlely tense.

The main hall was brightly lit, Mu Ruqing and the others sat on their chairs, silently waiting for the return of the landing or the general's return, and at the same time there were a few cowering people kneeling in front of them, all of whom were subordinates and stewards of the general's mansion. The reason for finding these people to interrogate them alone is because when Ruan Mianmian sent someone to set up a ladder to go up the beam of the house to inspect, these people invariably showed an incredibly frightened expression, if they didn't know, they would definitely not believe it.

The beams of the General's Mansion were made of fine wood, the entire trunk was cut into columns, and intricate patterns and patterns were carved, and the animals and figures on them were lifelike, but the people sent by Ruan Mianmian carefully inspected them and found clues.

First of all, although the beam is carved from wood, it is not a heavy and solid muffled sound, but with a slight crisp echo, which almost directly determines that there must be something wrong with the beam, and Ruan Mianmian's guess is not far from ten. After some exploration and exploration, they found that the carved animal had some wings or limbs that could move, until they touched a sculpture of an orchid grass, and gently pulled it out to reveal a small hole the size of a palm.

It seems that the general's wife has hollowed out the entire beam, and the soldiers have found many bamboo slips rolled up and covered with silk cloth from them, and Ruan Mianmian and them simply sit in the main hall and wait, during which the soldiers continue to enter and exit, and gradually hand them down into boxes, and when the boxes are full, they will be carried to the main hall where the masters are. Unconsciously, there were more than a dozen wooden boxes in the hall, with hundreds of bamboo slips.

Liu Xin'er was dumbfounded, cautiously walked over and picked up a bamboo slip, opened it, and read it softly: "On August 1, the military camp was trained, and the news was successfully delivered, so find out the defense map as soon as possible." On August 4th, a trap was laid in the racecourse, and the Marquis of Jinxiang was killed. There are so many records like this, and the general's wife is so terrifying, holding the entire Sand City in the palm of her hand. ”

"Xin'er, let's see if there is any one that is close, we have entered Shacheng in such a big battle, it is impossible for her not to send the news back." Mu Ruqing pinched his eyebrows and commanded softly.

"Wait a minute, I'll find out." Liu Xin'er responded while bending around with her skirt in the middle of these boxes, looking at the date on the satin, but after a while, she really saw a difference.

"This volume, without a deadline, is recent." She leaned over and picked up a roll, opened it and nodded, "Sure enough, it's this month's news." ”

Directly opened the bamboo slip, saw the content at the end, and read it to them word for word: "The Northwest Army is stationed thirty miles outside Shacheng, and has sent the Lily of the Valley to lure the deputy general to enter the interior as soon as possible to obtain the talisman... Princess Mobei Zhuen's wedding procession has arrived in Shacheng, asking for instructions on whether to leave all of them to kill and provoke disputes between the two countries. ”

The more she read, Liu Xin'er only felt cold hairs all over her body, and involuntarily raised her eyes to look at Ruan Mianmian, the deputy general who was seduced by Lily of the Valley was probably Fang Cannon, but Ruan Mianmian shrugged her shoulders at the moment, looking disapproving, but she was more interested in the latter paragraph.

"The cannon saved us, if he hadn't kidnapped the general's wife and disrupted her plan, then we would have died in her realm." Jiang Xinyue had a cold face, watched the soldiers carry another box in, and slapped it on the table in anger.

"Okay, the general's wife is dead, and Lily of the Valley has also been arrested and tortured by us, they will not pose a threat to us, but these people, we have to entertain them well, come on!" Jiang Xinyue gave an order, and immediately a soldier came and waited for dispatch.

"I won't torture first, but you will bring it truthfully." Jiang Xinyue herself is extremely beautiful, and she has some heroic temperament, and it is also beautiful to be angry.

"The county lord spares his life, what the county lord asks, we will never dare to hide it, but we really don't know why you called us here!" The kneeling little guy was full of pleading, and the moment he raised his head, it made Ruan Mianmian and the Falcon You behind her blink at the same time.

Isn't this a coincidence, the little guy in front of him is exactly the same as the person they caught in the morning, and when they look at it closely, they are indeed very similar in facial features, but there are subtle differences, so they must be in the same group, but they are not the same person.

"Ahem, sister, don't scare them, let me ask." Ruan Mianmian was coquettish, winked at Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing, and deliberately lowered his tone, "Don't be afraid, we have nothing ill in the world, but we are just investigating, and we will naturally let you go back after asking." ”

"Thank you for the gift of the county lord, please ask the county lord, we must know everything." The little guy looked grateful, and kowtowed to Ruan Mianmian in a real way, it didn't look like a fake, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Then let's talk, how many people are in your family?" Ruan Mianmian raised his sleeves, tapped his fingertips slightly, and pointed to the "acquaintance" who had just spoken.

"My family... I'm the only one, but the general took pity on me and asked me to come to the house to work, and reward me with food so that I wouldn't starve to death. The little guy hesitated, not understanding why she was asking such a question.

"That's a pity, you don't have brothers and sisters?" Ruan Mianmian's eyes rolled, but he didn't look at him.

"No, the little ones are not blessed, they can only be alone." The little guy lowered his head, and he also noticed that something was wrong, and his voice was much quieter, and he didn't have the confidence to speak conclusively.

"No, right, but I remember that there are people who look exactly like you, but the county lord has always been arrogant, and some people just don't like it, and if they don't like it, let my secret guard kidnap him and kill him, hiss, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, don't be an eyesore in front of the county lord." Ruan Mianmian flicked his nails that were as white as jade, and told him what to eat tonight, his tone was relaxed, but the effect was not ordinary.

"What! How dare you..."The little guy couldn't hide the emotions in his heart now, his eyes widened and he raised his head, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, staring at Ruan Mianmian's pure white face like jade.

"Don't worry, you don't have no brothers and sisters, there are people in the world who look alike, why are you in a hurry for irrelevant people, but people doubt your identity?" Ruan Mianmian lowered her eyes and glanced at him, her gaze was covered by her long, slightly upturned eyelashes, but it seemed obscure, making it difficult to grasp her emotions.

It can be seen that this little guy is trained, but he is always inferior to Hayabusa and Wuyi, the two most capable secret guards, and emotions are not completely hidden even if they are not revealed on their faces. The little man's face gradually regained his calm, but the bloodshot corners of his eyes still revealed his panic and anger.

"Take it down and dispose of it." Ruan Mianmian said lightly, and Falcon You mentioned that he covered his mouth and skillfully dragged the person out, and as soon as he turned around, he couldn't see it.

The other people in the room witnessed this brief interrogation, and they all had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they also knew that killing chickens was to set an example to monkeys, and it was about to be their turn.

"That person is not honest, he lied to our sincere questions, it can be seen that he is not a good person, in order to avoid him being a spy, I had to dispose of him, but you guys shouldn't be like him, it's a pity that he died young." Jiang Xinyue skillfully found her home field and began a burst of coercion and temptation.

This interrogation did not last long, the flaws they exposed were exposed little by little, and there was no room for quibbling, Jiang Xinyue asked them to be taken down and tied with their hands and feet, gagged, and sent a whole squad of soldiers to take care of them.

After dealing with this, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and another soldier came to report that three sneaky people had been found at the side gate and back door of the General's Mansion, and two of the other family members of the General's Mansion who were under custody tried to pass the news outside, and they were all arrested in time and waited for their arrival.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the moon outside with half-open eyes and confusion, and her tone was a little hoarse: "It's endless, did the general's wife turn the general's mansion into a nest of spies?" ”

"Okay, you can each inquire about it, and if necessary, you can use punishment, let them highlight the truth, and you can't hide it at all." Mu Ruqing was also a little sleepy, and the tea was refilled for four or five cups, barely holding back his spirits, but he really couldn't spare more energy to interrogate them again.

"Yes!" The soldier clasped his fists and saluted, and led people directly down to interrogate suspicious persons.

"Mianmian, why don't you go to sleep first, your brother Mu and I are waiting for news here, you come over after dawn to take over, and it's not too late for us to rest." Jiang Xinyue poured a sip of strong tea and nodded towards Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er knew that this was not the time to shirk, there had been no news from the front line, although they judged that they would not start the war immediately, but they were inevitably worried about their safety, and the best way was to take alternate shifts to rest, lest everyone be in bad spirits and delay the big event when the news came.

"Okay, then Hayabusa and Wuyi also find a place to rest, go to the bedroom after dawn and call us, and report any major events immediately, at this time all false etiquette does not have to be observed." Ruan Mianmian ordered to go down, and poured tea for Mu Ruqing and the two of them with his own hands, and then took Liu Xin'er's hand to the back bedroom to rest.

There was no one else here, Jiang Xinyue leaned over to Mu Ruqing, leaned on his shoulder with her eyes half-closed, and talked to him without a match to prevent her from falling asleep, only to feel that it took a long time before the sky was white, and gradually drew an arc, and the arc slowly merged with the dim skylight, and it was dawn.
