Chapter Ninety-Seven: Enemy Nation Spies
"I understand." Holding Iris's hand, he turned to look at Yan Difeng, and said, "I will leave with you, and Iris will stay, hoping that Stygian Jin can protect Iris to reach the border smoothly." ”
He looked at her and immediately said, "Stygian brocade! ”
"The subordinates are here!" Mingjin stepped forward and stood in front of him, and said respectfully, "What does the master command?" ”
"This king and the princess rushed to the border first, and the rest of the people were handed over to you to lead the way, and the princess's maidservant Iris, who stayed with you, you must protect her to reach the border smoothly."
Ying Jin deliberately glanced at the iris, his face was not waveless, and he said, "Yes." ”
Iris still has uneasiness in her heart.
She looked at her and said, "Are you at ease now?" ”
The light of the Iris's eyes moved slightly, and the hand that was not held by her was quietly clenched into a fist, her brows were slightly furrowed, but there was a smile in her eyes that made Asan Sang relieved: "Master, slave...... The slave was relieved. ”
"Good!" She said.
Before leaving, he pulled Iris into the carriage, handed her something in his arms, and carefully advised: "Iris, I said that I would protect you, and now I have to leave you first." This is a liquid incense made from lily of the valley flowers, the aroma is poisonous, once in danger, open the cap of the bottle, the incense inside the bottle will come out, and the person who smells the incense will hallucinate, coma, and finally die. ”
"This is given to you for your self-defense, you remember, you must not use it until absolutely necessary, once the lid is opened, the person who smells the incense will die."
Iris didn't expect the white liquid in this transparent vial to be so dangerous, so he took it and carefully put it into his cuffs, and said cautiously: "Iris knows." ”
She stroked her hair and said, "We'll see you at the border." ”
"Yes, master."
Then, Qiansang left with Emperor Yan, and the carriage convoy slowly marched towards the border.
Qiansang deliberately accelerated the speed of her march, wanting to leave Emperor Yan Feng behind her, so that she would have time to avoid Emperor Yan Feng going to the border first and dealing with the spies of the enemy country.
However, she underestimated Yan Difeng's strength, no matter how she accelerated the speed of her travel, Yan Difeng followed her unhurriedly, which made her really annoyed.
The original ten-day journey took only eight days to arrive under the competition between the two.
After arriving in Mobei, they were greeted by Pei Dian, the general of the North of Sipin Town, whose official rank was under Xuan Ting, from Qiansang from Xianyi Valley to Yanling Country, he had never seen Pei Dian, because of his special official rank, he guarded the border all year round, so it was rare to see.
To her delight, Xuan Ting ordered Shi Shenshu to rush to the border before she came in order to quickly familiarize her with the situation at the border. Having him there really made her feel a lot more at ease.
It's just that when they saw Emperor Yan, the expressions on their faces were a little unnatural, but they quickly disappeared. And immediately saluted with Emperor Yan.
The two of them were in a hurry, and Pei Dian immediately arranged for the two of them to rest first.
After entering the tent, Assan-san was restless, walked out of the tent, asked the soldier where Shi Shenshu was, and immediately walked towards his tent. When the guard at the door saw her coming, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "See the military advisor!" ”
She glanced at the tent and asked, "Is Vice General Shi here?" ”
"In!" Then he said, "Strategist, please come in." ”
She walked straight into the tent, only to see Shi Shenshu, who was sitting firmly at the wooden table reading the military book, put down the military book in his hand, walked towards her, and was about to salute, she opened her mouth to stop: "In the future, between you and me, those cumbersome etiquette will be avoided." ”
"Yes!"
"After you and Pei Dian received us today, I saw that you and Pei Dian had doubts on their faces, and I knew what you were doubting, so I came to explain to you, and asked you to tell me about the enemy spies."
"Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the military advisor." After a pause, he continued: "The military advisor guessed well, his subordinates and General Pei were indeed surprised that the prince came with you." ”
"What I want to say is that this is a last resort," she said. ”
He was silent for a moment and said, "My subordinates understand. ”
He didn't ask anything else, showing that he trusted her immensely.
"Don't worry, I will never let Emperor Yan affect anything on the border."
He said: "Strategist, even if you don't explain to your subordinates, your subordinates trust you immensely. ”
She was relieved, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, then sat down firmly in the chair and said, "What is the current situation with the enemy spies?" ”
He had a complicated expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "From the time I caught him to this day, I didn't say anything when I asked him. In desperation, General Pei began to torture him. All the torture instruments were passed through the spy, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to reveal a word. ”
"Do you know his identity?"
"It's not clear at the moment."
She pondered for a moment and said, "If it were an ordinary person, he would have told the truth because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. All kinds of torture tools have been used all over again, and they still don't speak, such a person is by no means an ordinary person. ”
"The military advisor means ......"
"If you can find out the identity of this spy, you will be able to know the purpose of his trip." looked at Shi Shenshu and said in a condensed voice: "You take me to see this person immediately!" ”
"Yes!" He immediately clenched his fists in response.
When he went to the tent where the enemy spies were being held, he met Pei Dian, and after knowing the thoughts of the two, he decided to go along. Since the enemy spy was caught, the interrogation has always been done by Pei Dian, although he has not asked any useful information so far, but he belongs to the person who knows the spy the most in the entire military camp.
During this period, Pei Dian wanted to ask Qiansang why she came to the border to join Emperor Yan with her, but then after thinking twice, he gave up asking. He already knew her name and admired her for a long time, and Shi Shenshu was respectful to her, which made him respectful. If the intuition is asked, it will inevitably be abrupt and distrustful. Therefore, she couldn't bear it, thinking that she must have something difficult to say.
Coming to the tent where the enemy spies were being held, Pei Dian looked at the four soldiers guarding outside the tent and said, "You guys are so guarded, General Ben will take the military division and Deputy General Shi to interrogate the spy, remember that no one is allowed to enter the tent during this period, can you understand?" ”
"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”
The trio then entered the tent.
Unlike the tent next to it, there were no chairs or stools for resting, and only a cross made of two stout wooden posts in the center, to which the spy was tied, his hands and feet tied.
At that time, the spy's clothes were in tatters, and there must have been wounds on the broken spots, and the whip marks on his chest were the most obvious, and I think they had been inflicted on them for the past two days, and the wounds were still bleeding, and there was no sign of healing. He was unkempt, and his frizzy hair was scattered all over his face. She couldn't see what his face looked like, but she knew he could see the three of them through the cracks in his hair.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Shenshu, go and pull the hair in front of him, I want to see his face clearly." ”
