Chapter 173 Detecting Intelligence
Li Heming and Li Shun easily avoided the soldiers and arrived at Fengling City first. They found something wrong. Some of the soldiers were angry, some were sad, and they seemed very reluctant.
"Li Shun, why do you think they have such expressions?" Li Heming said in a low voice.
"It seems strange to me too." Li Shun frowned, he also noticed something was wrong.
"Look over there, the soldiers at the door of the tent don't have those expressions, but are very normal. However, the patrolling soldiers are different..." Li Shun raised his head and motioned Li Heming to look.
Just as Li Shun said, the expressions of these soldiers were all different. What was going on?
Li Heming took out a medicine bottle from his body, poured out two pills, handed one to Li Shun and swallowed the other himself.
For a moment, neither of them could see each other.
"He Ming, what is this? Why can't I see you?" Li Shun was a little panicked. He waved his hands and found that he couldn't see his hands either.
"This is an invisibility pill given to me by my sister. We'll meet here in a quarter of an hour. Don't stay too long. Let's see if we can find out some useful information!" Li Heming's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Only then did Li Shun feel relieved.
Li Heming walked out first without being noticed by anyone. He first came to the outside of a tent and listened carefully to the contents inside. When he found no useful information, he went to eavesdrop outside other tents.
These tents are places for the soldiers to rest. Now the soldiers are training in the open space, and only the leaders of the soldiers will rest and talk about things in the tents.
Li Heming went straight to the leader's position.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the tent, I heard the conversation inside.
"My honor to meet General Mu. Our people have taken control of the military camp. No news will leak out, and the Donglin Kingdom has already agreed." A soldier wearing armor and a long sword at his waist, named Fan Jihua, bowed.
"Is there any news from the capital?" Mu Baizhou, also known as General Mu, held the woman in his arms, playing with her long hair with his hands, without even looking at Fan Jihua.
"Yes, recently the emperor and the prince's people have been coming frequently to inquire about the news, but we did not let the news leak out, so they probably don't know. This letter is from the capital, General Mu, please take a look..." Fan Jihua took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Baizhou's desk.
Mu Baizhou waved his hand, signaling Fan Jihua to go down.
After Fan Jihua left, Mu Baizhou let the woman on his body play with herself for a while, and then he opened the envelope. After reading it, he showed a triumphant smile, sealed the envelope, and placed it in front of the table.
Then he came to the beautiful and charming woman, picked her up, and walked to the bed at the back. The woman in his arms showed a shy look, which made Mu Baizhou unable to control himself.
Li Heming's ears turned red when he heard this. General Mu was really shameless. He actually...
Li Heming knew that the letter was the key, so he went to other empty tents to find the useless envelope, and then entered General Mu's tent. Li Heming tried his best not to watch the entanglement between the two, swapped the letters on the table, and immediately left the tent.
The advantage of this invisibility pill is that it can penetrate and makes no sound, so Li Heming saw the faces of General Namu and another soldier.
Then he walked away quietly.
Li Shun came to the place where soldiers were being trained, with neat and uniform moves and hard training.
There were soldiers resting nearby, and Li Shun went up to them to listen to their gossip.
"Oh, I don't know what happened to my family! Those bastards actually... handed over the city of Jinling to others..." A soldier said in a low voice with a worried look on his face.
"Who isn't? First they sent so many women into our camp, and then they controlled our families. Now we have to submit even if we don't want to. I wonder if the emperor can find out that General Mu has defected to the regent of Donglin Kingdom! Alas..." Another soldier sighed. He was also distressed.
"I heard that..." Another soldier came forward, looked around, and began to say, "The person behind this is related to the Mu family, and is also closely related to Concubine Mu in the harem. The Mu family is too powerful. Even if the emperor wants to punish the Mu family, he has to consider the majesty of General Mu. General Mu is a general who fought on the battlefield with the founding emperor!"
The three people spoke in a low voice, but Li Shun heard it clearly. He now understood that Concubine Mu and the Mu family were all bad. It was because of the good reputation that General Mu had left when he followed the founding emperor to fight on the battlefield that he was regarded as a role model in the hearts of the soldiers.
Li Shun saw that the three of them did not continue chatting, but went to practice.
Li Shun left here to meet up with Li Heming.
When we reached the meeting place, the effect of the medicine on my body gradually wore off.
"He Ming, I heard important news!" Li Shun said immediately when he saw Li He Ming.
"I also know some news. Let's go back quickly. I got a letter and asked my sister to copy it. Return it quickly. Don't let them find out!" Li Heming signaled Li Shun to go back quickly with him.
The two of them rode back to Jian'an County at full speed.
It was already evening when we returned to Lijia Village, and the sun was about to set.
Li Heming and Li Shun didn't speak along the way and would talk to Li Youran when they got back.
The two men dismounted from their horses and a servant led the horses to the backyard.
Li Heming was the first to knock on Li Youran's door.
"Please come in."
Li Youran was sitting at the table drawing.
Seeing Li Heming and Li Shun enter the room, both of them were sweating profusely.
"Zhi Yan, go and pour two cups of tea." Li Youran told Zhi Yan to go downstairs and prepare tea.
"Sister, we found a lot of information!" Li Heming said anxiously.
"Well, speak slowly. I'm listening." Li Youran gestured for the two to sit down and take a breath.
Li Shun first told Li Youran what he had heard, and then Li Heming took out the letter and showed it to Li Youran.
Li Youran took the envelope, opened it, and seemed to know who was behind it.
It’s King Ping.
Prince Ping is going to rebel! He is joining forces with the Mu family and the regent of Donglin Kingdom!
So the first step of their plan was to abandon a city - Jinling City.
The private soldiers raised by General Mu's son, Mu Chi, the father of Concubine Mu, controlled the families of the soldiers guarding the country on the border.
He threatened the soldiers to abandon the city, and I don't know where he got so many women for the soldiers. He is really good. No wonder there is no wonder at all.
It turned out that they were controlled by the Mu family's private soldiers.
"Sister, can you copy out a copy of this letter? You have to return it quickly, otherwise that General Mu will find out." Li Heming said with some concern.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment!" Li Youran gave him a reassuring look.
