Chapter 224: Spies leaving the country.
Song Huaiyan knew that the love in her heart was gone. In a person's life, there are many other things besides love.
For her, for him...
There are too many things more important than love.
Arrived at the city gate.
Song Huaiyan threw herself into Su Rutang's arms.
"Sister. I knew you were waiting for me."
Su Rutang patted her on the back. "Go back. I'll always be waiting for you."
Su Rutang felt sorry for Song Huaiyan who had lost her love.
along the way.
Song Huaiyan did not show any sign of heartbreak.
King Jianxing sent a team to follow them to Mobei to prevent anyone from hijacking the food.
The snow in Mobei is really deep.
Outside the city gate, those who wanted to join the army also came. Everyone helped push the food, and Song Huaiyan and Su Rutang got on the carriage.
King Jianxing's people were worried whether those robbers from the black market were truly willing to join the army.
Someone shouted:
"We were originally loyal and righteous people, but we became bandits in order to make a living. But we always remember that every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. Now General Su has been killed by the dog thieves from Xiliang.
When the Mobei Army really needs everyone, we will naturally join the Mobei Army to fight against the Xiliang bandits."
"Fight against the Xiliang thieves."
Especially after hearing that several outposts in Mobei were occupied by Xiliang this time, they wanted to take those outposts back. Occupied outposts mean the land around the outposts.
Even if it is wasteland, it cannot be occupied by people from Xiliang.
The people under King Jianxing felt much more relieved.
When Su Rutang and the others were about to reach Yingzui Pass, they discovered something was wrong. The mountains on both sides were too quiet, and only the sound of their horses' hooves could be heard on the silent official road.
Too much silence is not a good thing.
Rong Kuo discovered something was wrong.
He asked everyone to stop and rest. "There's something wrong ahead. Even the forests in the Mobei winter wouldn't be so quiet. Maybe there's an ambush ahead."
Zhang Kui frowned, "There is an ambush, which means someone knows our itinerary."
Song Huaiyan's hands trembled.
She thought of Gu Yanni's meaningful look. What if Gu Yanni sold the news to the people of Xiliang through the time of her departure?
or……
She is in collusion with the people of Xiliang.
Song Huaiyan wanted to slap herself, and she told Su Rutang about her concerns.
Rong Kuo also heard it.
"Ms. Song, don't worry. We won't sit there and wait for death."
Those bandits had already given advice.
Bandits never follow tricks, how to achieve their goals is the truth.
I immediately gave my opinion.
Twenty or thirty people holding crossbows and carrying machetes surrounded them from both sides. After they moved along the ditch beside the official road for a distance, Su Rutang and his carriage continued to move forward.
The people lying in ambush in the woods on both sides were surprised to see the carriage stop.
after awhile.
When someone was sent to check again, the carriage had already moved.
He quickly made a gesture.
Zhang Kui and his companions approached the ambushed Xiliang people, and saw that there were people from Liguo in their attire. Zhang Kui fired the first arrow from his crossbow, and his companions continued to shoot.
The people of Xiliang and Liguo quickly rose up in resistance.
Zhang Kui and others swung their machetes again and again, and the snow under their feet was wet and dirty with blood and mud.
The screams continued.
Rong Kuo and others rushed over from the middle, waving machetes and shouting:
"Brothers, don't hurt your friends who have left the country."
The people of Xiliang were suspicious by nature. When the people hiding in the woods heard that they had fallen into a trap, they hurriedly fled back to report the news.
The dozen or so people who left the country refuted in panic:
"Nonsense, we are not friends."
They were Gu Yanni's men, and they were also spies planted by the Li Kingdom on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When Gu Yanni came this time, the Emperor of the Li Kingdom was afraid that his daughter would be in danger, so he gave her a token so that she could command the spies.
Rong Kuo pressed the back of a spy from Liguo's neck with the back of his knife, punched him in the mouth, turned him over, and broke his teeth.
Take out the poison hidden in his mouth.
Needless to say, there are people who have served in the Jinyiwei.
Huo Mi subdued two spies in a row.
Since Gu Yanni has been killing people one after another, then I will give Liguo a big gift. Uproot their spies hidden in the border of Dazhou.
The spy from the Li Kingdom was quickly knocked unconscious, his teeth were broken and poison was taken.
Then tie it up with a rope.
They were tied to the cart, and two people were tied to the bottom of the cart.
Huo Mi rubbed the blood on the sole of his boot and said, "We must not leave any one alive. Don't let those bastards from Xiliang ruin our plan."
In the eyes of the few people in Xiliang who were not killed or seriously injured, they only saw them helping people leave the country.
The two survivors closed their eyes in hatred.
Rong Kuo walked up to the two men and deliberately stepped on them. Seeing that they were still gritting their teeth, he sneered:
"Let's leave quickly, the wolves will be here soon."
This was the first time that Zhang Kui and his companions followed the Jinyiwei to kill the Xiliang thieves, and they felt indescribably happy.
Suddenly he burst out laughing:
"You Xiliang bastard, your grandfather is going to crush the forty-nine tribes."
Su Rutang and the others left.
The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and they assisted a sentry post on the way to kill the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who came. Some of the bandits stayed behind.
Wait until Su Rutang and the others return to the camp.
Su Buyi has returned.
Su Buyi opened his arms towards Su Rutang.
Su Rutang rushed over.
"Big brother."
Su Buyi hugged Su Rutang and opened one hand towards Song Huaiyan.
Song Huaiyan also ran over.
She was a little embarrassed, after all, she was just her stepsister.
Su Buyi held Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan in his arms and said, "Leave the rest to me. You can go back with peace of mind."
"Brother. We caught a few spies from the country."
"trial."
Yaoyao and Shangqi ran towards Su Rutang. The two little guys still missed Su Rutang.
Su Rutang hugged the child and kissed him again and again.
Su Rutang would naturally not participate in the interrogation.
She first told Su Buli about the situation in Chazhou and the contact person, the master. By the way, she took Su Buli to meet Zhang Kui and others. Those who wanted to join the army still had to go through Su Buli's test.
Su Buyi ordered people to interrogate him.
None of those spies were afraid of death.
If they are interrogated separately, there will always be people who can't stand it.
Su Buyi was not in a hurry.
The interrogation method was very cruel, and Shangqi ran over to see it.
He was stopped by Su Buyi.
"Uncle, I'm not afraid." Shangqi has never been afraid of these things since he was a child. Under Shangyan's cold-blooded training, he has a fascination with this cruel punishment.
Su Buyi saw it.
He couldn't help but sigh and wonder what kind of ruthless killing machine Shang Yan wanted to train his child into.
Su Yuxuan pursed her lips and came over, "Dad, I want to see it too."
"you?"
Su Yuxuan's chest heaved, his eyes widened and he shouted:
"Yes, I want to stay in Mobei. I want to avenge my grandfather."
"No, you have to go back to school."
Su Yuxuan refused, "It's hard for me to study in Mobei. The abbot said I belong to Mobei and the battlefield."
Su Buyi said nothing.
But he didn't want Su Yuxuan to stay in Mobei.
He and his wife were rarely together, and they had never had any children since Su Yuxuan was born. Not long ago, his wife took a concubine for him, saying that she wanted to have more children.
He understood his wife's intentions and finally agreed with her decision.
The number of Su family members is decreasing.
Su Buyi couldn't persuade the two children, so he took them to see the interrogation scene. Shangqi walked over with a hint of bloodthirsty coldness on his lips.
He heard that the princess of Li Kingdom wanted to kill Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan in the black market.
How dare?
Shangqi took the dagger and walked up to a man. "Your princess wants to steal a man from my aunt? My aunt said she will give it to you as a princess."
Just a stinky man.
As he spoke, the dagger in Shangqi's hand cut his flesh.
Su Buyi was stunned.
The other party screamed continuously.
Su Buyi hurriedly brought Shangqi out, but he didn't let Su Rutang know the truth. He just severely criticized Shangqi and asked him to promise not to do it again.
Shangqi agreed halfheartedly.
On the official road heading east.
Gu Yanni opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted to Xiao Zhijie who was riding a horse:
"Brother Xiao San, let me share a piece of happy news with you."
"I don't want to listen." Xiao Zhijie was full of anger.
"Your sweetheart... may have met the King of Hell by now." Gu Yanni said proudly: "I didn't use any guards this time."
Xiao Zhijie's face turned cold.
"Then who did you use?" Seeing Gu Yanni's smug look, he had a bad idea in his mind, "Did the emperor ask you to contact the spy?"
Xiao Zhijie only knew of one spy near Chazhou.
"So what? Are you feeling sorry for Song Huaiyan? She is not the same kind of person as you." Gu Yanni's eyes were full of jealous hatred. She was so jealous of the sight of Song Huaiyan and Xiao Zhijie holding hands and kissing him.
I can't swallow this anger if I don't kill her.
"You will harm the spies stationed by the Li Kingdom on the border of the Great Zhou." Xiao Zhijie hurriedly rode his horse back, and the followers around him followed him back.
"Xiao Zhijie. You clearly want to save her, but it's too late for me to tell you."
