Chapter 367: Infiltrating the Cottage
"If I detect that General Zhang's people intend to attack the cottage, I will also ask the secret guard to take me out of the cottage, and I will never fall into the hands of General Zhang's people again."
Seeing Chen Mu so promised, Meng Qing finally felt a little relieved, he nodded and agreed, Chen Mu said goodbye to Meng Qing, and waited for the secret guard to rush towards the cottage where General Qian and the others were now staying.
The cottage is located in the deep mountains and old forests, quite far away from the county where Chen Mu and others are located, and it took half a day to drive the carriage before finally reaching the foot of the mountain peak where the gang of mountain bandits were entrenched.
Chen Mu let the car stop outside a bush, then got out of the car and rushed towards the mountain peak with the secret guard.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the front of the peak, Chen Mu noticed that there were some figures shaking in the woods at the foot of the mountain.
He sent the secret guard to investigate, and learned that those people were General Zhang's people, and General Zhang led people to garrison under the peak, ready to attack the people on the peak at any time.
The group of mountain bandits who were familiar with General Qian were quite righteous, and they noticed that there were soldiers and horses guarding the bottom of the mountain, but they did not drive General Qian and the others away.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, they are well defended, but we still found a level that we can break through, and later, we will escort you around the camp of General Zhang and others, and quietly sneak into the cottage."
"We can't go from the gate of the cottage, otherwise it is easy to alarm General Zhang's people, and General Zhang's people are guarding not far from the gate of the cottage, and they always keep the movement at the gate of the cottage."
Seeing the dark guard say this, Chen Mu immediately nodded in response.
The group quietly bypassed the camp tent of General Zhang and others, and sure enough, it did not attract the attention of General Zhang's people, Chen Mu and the secret guards walked through the woods and quickly approached the cottage.
The defense of the cottage was also quite tight, and when he approached the cottage, Chen Mu noticed that the bandits stationed in the cottage seemed to be quite uneasy.
There were quite a few bandits patrolling around the cottage, and everyone had a serious look on their faces.
Even so, the bandits in the cottage still did not drive General Qian and the others away.
Chen Mu glanced at the secret guards, and the group crossed the bushes through the fence of the cottage, easily breaking through the defenses of those bandits and marching into the cottage.
Chen Mu's secret guards are strong, and they were specially cultivated to carry out espionage and investigations, they were so easy that they could easily go deep into the cottage without attracting anyone's attention.
Bypassing the patrolling mountain bandits and approaching the cottage camp, Chen Mu looked up in the direction of the camp tent and saw that the tent curtain was lifted and a few people walked out.
The faces of the people who walked out were nervous, and one of them was General Qian.
As for the few big men who followed him, one of them was General Naqian's top boss, and the rest were all bandits on this mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Mu hooked his lips and smiled slightly.
General Qian was about to turn his head and say something to the people behind him, when he saw a few people in front of him flash, and they suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of them, leaving them defenseless!
General Qian was so frightened that he staggered backwards, a little surprise appeared on his face, and then he stepped forward excitedly.
"Your Excellency, you... You are here, how can you come in a hurry without telling us. ”
"There are soldiers and horses on the periphery of your cottage, and if I send someone to deliver the news, they will definitely notice that something is wrong, so I asked my secret guard to bring me in."
"These are the bandits who took you in, and when this matter is over, I will definitely give them a heavy reward."
Chen Mu chuckled and said so.
The big men standing behind General Qian were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at each other.
They didn't know Chen Mu's identity, but when they saw General Qian's respectful attitude towards Chen Mu, they still nodded silently and responded with caution in their eyes.
As for the other general who followed behind General Qian, when he saw Chen Mu's appearance clearly, a little shock appeared in his eyes.
He was originally from the capital, and he had also seen the prince in the early years, because his official position was higher than that of General Qian, and he had the opportunity to enter Beijing to take up his post, so he had a deep impression of Chen Mu.
At this time, seeing such a big man appear in front of him, the general panicked, and when he took a step forward, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Before, Chen Mu led people to lead General Qian and General Qian's men, and when the general escaped from the barracks, because there were only many secret guards to protect him, and the scene at that time was too chaotic, the general did not notice Chen Mu.
Although he heard from General Qian that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was behind his back to guide him this time, he did not expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to this cottage in person.
Now seeing Chen Mu, the general burst into tears of excitement, and he walked a few steps to Chen Mu's face.
General Qian saw his immediate boss kneeling, and he also hurriedly knelt down.
Seeing them like this, Chen Mu shook his head and smiled helplessly, he stepped forward to help the two of them up, and then spoke.
"You two don't have to be like this, I'm here to discuss with you about the next plan, not to be majestic in front of you, stand up."
"General Zhang's people are eyeing you outside this cottage, I estimate that he hasn't done it yet, most of it is mobilizing soldiers and horses, and when he mobilizes the soldiers and horses from the surrounding military camps, he will do it to you, and General Zhang will not let you escape."
"It is impossible to let the bandits in this cottage escape, and it is because of this that he wants to fight a battle with complete certainty."
"Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
Chen Mu got straight to the point.
And the mountain bandits and the two generals glanced at each other in some embarrassment when they heard Chen Mu say this.
They certainly don't know how to be good.
After all, as far as they knew, the soldiers and horses stationed in the surrounding counties had all been rebelled by General Zhang and others.
They are isolated, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the capital, and when the soldiers and horses of the capital rush to this county, they are afraid that they have already been killed by General Zhang's people.
General Zhang's men had captured General Qian and the others alive before, just to use them as a trigger to push them out in the future and put them on the hat of the rebels.
But now that these people are kept alive, it may affect their plans, and if General Zhang's people get the chance, it is impossible for Duan Duanran to let them continue to live.
After all, keeping those who know their secrets and plans alive will only affect their next plans and their future plans.
"I have an idea, I am going to pretend to be those members of the family who have conspired with them in the capital, and come forward to stop them from acting, and I have already arrested the Lord of the Household Department."
"And let him cooperate with me, as long as we can survive these few days, we can think of ways to stabilize the people in the surrounding military camps."
