Chapter 163: The Bold Enemy

Next, Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue split into two groups. Gu Changfeng took the pair he found to discuss with General Shen how to make the Scythians believe that the Hu people had rebelled, while Shen Mingjue went to find Deputy General Xue and Xue Zhong and others to catch the traitor in the army.

The torture in the army was actually no less severe than that in the capital, but before the real traitors were caught, these people were all soldiers of Da Qi, so Lieutenant General Xue and Xue Zhong did not want to blame them too much.

Deputy General Xue was still interrogating, so Shen Mingjue called Xue Zhong out to find out what was going on.

"How is it? Did you find any abnormalities?"

Xue Zhong shook his head unhappily: "I have no clue at all. When that prince first came in, we were fighting. So who reported it? We don't know if anyone died because of discovering them.

The second time, it was midnight, when we were changing shifts, and the two soldiers at your door were taken away. So how did they get in? Maybe it was really during the shift change, and we accidentally let someone in."

Shen Mingjue interrupted him, "How is that possible? I didn't know when they were let in, but when they left, it was already past the shift change time. And both times I saw a dark shadow, and in the dark shadow there were footsteps. He couldn't have appeared suddenly, could he?"

Xue Zhong imagined the scene and shuddered: "Brother, don't scare me. I hate ghosts and gods."

"Who said it was because of this? I mean, why don't we check if the person who took over that night was delayed by something?"

Xue Zhong nodded and took him in.

Deputy General Xue thought the same as he did and had already called out the people who were about to take over the shift individually.

It has only been a day since last night. Theoretically, the soldiers on duty in the second half of the night would have gone back to rest during the day, so their clothes may have been changed, and nothing can be found.

Shen Mingjue looked at the four people in front of him and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Put your hands out."

The four people were confused and looked at Deputy General Xue.

Deputy General Xue slapped the table and said, "Didn't you hear what the Major General said? Stretch out your hands."

Shen Mingjue looked carefully at the palms of these people's hands, and indeed one of them had a strange hand.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly: "When Knasu first came to see me, he was wearing a Central Plains uniform. I think that dress looks familiar, probably a style from three years ago. And there is only one person here who came in three years ago. Of course, this doesn't mean anything, maybe he stole your clothes."

The person mentioned by Shen Mingjue took a small step back with some trembling.

"When Knasu came to see me the second time, he was wearing a suit of armor. But he is tall and strong, and if he wears your clothes, the fine parts will definitely be damaged. I know that although our armor is strong, it is basically made to measure. I already knew this when I helped make the fireproof armor last time.

Since it's broken, you will definitely find a way to sew it up as soon as possible. You are not embroiderers, and you are not good at sewing. If it takes several days to sew a piece of armor, it's okay, but if you are anxious because you have done something wrong and want to sew it up as soon as possible, there will definitely be holes. And here you only have one person with a needle hole on his hand. "

The man with the needle hole on his hand was the smallest of the four men. He knelt down without even thinking: "Major General, Major General, I had no choice. I haven't been home for three years. My mother is illiterate. Even if I send a letter home, there is no one to read it to her. It was Prince Knasu. He promised to help me send the letter home and find someone to read it to my mother. I foolishly agreed."

Xue Zhong came up and kicked him to the ground: "Stupid! How could you listen to him like that? If you have such a need, why don't you just ask us? Are we bad people? We won't even let you send letters home? We are all from the Central Plains, aren't we better than them? Why do you have to surrender to him? Why do you want to be a traitor?"

"No, that's not the case. Prince Knasu told me that he would not hurt anyone, and that he would be the only one going in, so I reluctantly agreed."

Deputy General Xue was also shocked and asked, "He is the only one?"

"Yes, he was alone both times. The shadows you saw were actually a trick, and the sounds you heard came from a box. I know all this. I even went to peek the first time, and he really didn't hurt anyone, so I agreed to the second time."

He crawled to the feet of Deputy General Xue tremblingly and pleaded: "Deputy General, didn't you find anything wrong? I just let him in twice. He left within the stipulated time. In this case, can you please not kill me? I won't dare to do it again."

Deputy General Xue did not speak, so Xue Zhong asked again: "How could you let him in by yourself? Aren't you a group of four? What about the other three people?"

The soldier on the ground said, "It's none of their business. I bought them drinks and delayed their time."

The remaining three people nodded in agreement.

Xue Zhong was skeptical and glanced at Deputy General Xue.

Deputy General Xue naturally knew that this person could not be eliminated in a short time. He had a bigger secret hidden in his heart: "Of course I won't kill you, but all your military merits in the past few years must be cleared, and you must start from the lowest level of soldiers."

"Thank you, Deputy General. Thank you, Deputy General."

Xue Zhong took all these people away.

Deputy General Xue still had doubts, "Major General, tell me again what happened at that time."

Shen Mingjue carefully recalled the scene of their first meeting: "At the beginning, he patted me and appeared behind me, so I didn't know where he came out from. I only knew that when he left, there seemed to be seven or eight people in the shadow. The second time he came out from the shadow, I didn't know how many people were in it, and I didn't look carefully in that direction. When he left, I seemed to hear some footsteps, but I didn't see anyone in the shadow over there."

"You said that when you first saw the shadows there were seven or eight people. What did you see? I mean, did you see every one of them? Or did you just see shoes or something like that?"

"It was shoes. I saw seven or eight pairs of shoes. But strangely, none of the shoes moved. They just returned to the shadows."

Deputy General Xue sighed, "Then I understand, this is their usual trick, I have tried to do it before." He took out several lenses from the drawer and put them together. He placed a cup in the middle, and then rotated the lenses, and the cup turned into many cups.

"Does it look exactly the same as it did back then?"

Shen Mingjue's face turned pale, then he nodded, "So he is so brave that he came alone?"

Deputy General Xue: "I'm afraid so."
