The man who delivered the letter had just returned to the city.
The man secretly sneaked into the captain's mansion, where Zeng Mu was waiting for news.
He slipped into the room, closed the door behind his back, and looked outside through the crack in the door to make sure no one was following him. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Has it been delivered?"
When Zeng Mu saw the man entering the door, he immediately asked in a low voice.
The man was shaking a little and said, "It's been delivered, it's been delivered, it's been delivered by hand."
The man was a little too scared and spoke incoherently.
Zeng Mu asked: "What did the Holy Son say? What are your instructions?"
The man didn't see the ghost fetus at all, he only saw Qin Hao.
Of course, the man neither knew Qin Hao nor the ghost fetus. He just instinctively felt that Qin Hao was not the ghost fetus.
"After the Holy Son read the letter, he asked you to wait for the news."
The man did not dare to say that he had not seen it, so he just talked nonsense to fool him. Zeng Mu could not verify the authenticity anyway.
Of course Zeng Mu would not be gullible. He judged from the man's expression that he must have found the ghost clan if he was so frightened.
"Okay, you can go back, this matter is top secret."
The man nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I know..."
Outside the door, a soldier shouted: "General Zeng, General Tang invites you to come to the general's mansion to discuss matters."
The soldiers sent by Donna to deliver the order arrived. After passing the message, the soldiers from the Captain's Mansion reported.
"Huh? What do you want from me now?"
Zeng Mu was a little puzzled and had a bad feeling in his heart.
The man looked at Zeng Mu nervously, and Zeng Mu motioned the man to go out through the side door.
After the man left, Zeng Mu opened the door and walked out.
When I arrived at the door, I saw the soldier delivering the order.
"Sir Captain, General Tang invites you to come over to discuss matters."
When the soldier reported, Zeng Mu asked seemingly casually: "Oh, is there something urgent?"
The soldier smiled respectfully and said, "I don't know."
Zeng Mu nodded and rode towards the general's mansion.
When we arrived at the General's Mansion, everything was as usual and nothing was wrong.
The soldiers led the horses, Zeng Mu walked into the room, Long Chen sat in the middle, and Donna and Yan Gang sat on both sides talking.
"Captain Zeng is here, please take a seat."
Zeng Mu walked in and Donna greeted him immediately.
Zeng Mu first bowed to Long Chen and said, "General, I will pay my respects to King Wu."
Long Chen smiled kindly, pointed to the seat next to Yan Gang, and said, "Sit down."
Zeng Mu sat down and looked at Donna, wondering what he wanted to see him for at night?
Yan Gang stood up and closed the door, then sat down next to Donna.
Zeng Mu felt that the atmosphere was a bit unpleasant and felt secretly nervous.
"Where is Captain Zeng from?"
Long Chen looked at Zeng Mu carefully and found no ghost aura, so he probably wasn't a half-ghost.
Zeng Mu replied: "The last general and veteran are near Zhenguo Temple."
Long Chen nodded and said: "I think back then, it took a lot of effort for me to conquer the Zhenguo Temple. What position did Captain Zeng hold at that time?"
Zeng Mu replied with a smile: "At that time, General Mo was just a commoner and had never joined the army."
"King Wu is brave and invincible. If the last general is in the Xixia army, he will probably become a powder."
Long Chen nodded and asked a little strangely: "Then when did you get noticed by the ghost fetus?"
Donna and Yan Gang looked at Zeng Mu at the same time. Zeng Mu felt like he fell into the ice cellar instantly, and his body was instantly frozen.
"Can't remember?"
Long Chen smiled and slowly walked to Zeng Mu.
The skin all over Zeng Mu's body was numb, his heart was pounding wildly, cold sweat dripped down his body, and his throat was so dry that he felt like vomiting.
"I..."
Zeng Mu opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
"You don't want to say it, or you just can't remember it?"
Long Chen sat down next to Zeng Mu.
Long Chen's cultivation level is high and he is not afraid of Zeng Mu's sudden violence and hurting others.
"Hahaha...."
Zeng Mu suddenly laughed crazily and turned to look at Long Chen. There was no fear in his eyes, only madness.
Under the tremendous pressure, Zeng Mu's spirit collapsed.
"The Holy Son has lived for hundreds of years, and the Holy Clan has existed for thousands of years. Who do you think you are? King Wu, what nonsense. The Holy Son will definitely attack Yuncheng. You all just wait to die."
"The Holy Son took a fancy to me and asked me to lurk and wait for orders. The time has finally come."
"You...you all have to die."
Zeng Mu pointed at Donna and Yan Gang and laughed wildly.
"crazy?"
When Donna saw Zeng Mu looking like this, she immediately stood up.
Long Chen shook his head helplessly and said: "Crazy, mentally broken."
Donna said unwillingly: "It's really easy for him to go crazy and collude with the ghost clan. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
This matter put a lot of pressure on Donna.
There was a traitor among her subordinates who colluded with the ghost clan. As a general, she had a responsibility that she could not shirk.
To the Empress, Donna must explain.
"Where is his messenger?"
Zeng Mu has been in the city, and if he wants to communicate with the outside world, someone must be there.
So Long Chen immediately asked Donna to monitor the principal's mansion.
Yan Gang said: "I asked them to bring people in."
Zeng Mu was still cursing loudly, sometimes laughing crazily, sometimes in pain, and his mood and spirit completely collapsed.
"King Wu, how should we deal with this Zeng Mu?"
Donna is waiting for Long Chen's decision.
Long Chen said: "Take him into a secret room, keep an eye on him, and don't let any news leak out."
"If Zeng Mu's errands are handled by others, it will be said that Zeng Mu is unwell."
Donna ordered the soldiers to escort Zeng Mu down.
Soon, Yan Gang came in with a man, and Long Chen immediately asked: "What information did you pass on to the ghost clan?"
When the man was brought here, he knew something was wrong.
However, everything must be based on real evidence. He was not caught on the spot and could deny it.
"My lord, I am wronged, I did not..."
Yan Gang slapped the man in the face and cursed: "Zeng Mu has already done it, and you haven't said anything yet!"
The man looked at Yan Gang in shock.
If Zeng Mu has already recruited him, why bother asking him again?
Long Chen waved his hand and said: "Zeng Mu is crazy, just tell me."
"You quietly left the city in the afternoon to deliver a letter to the ghost tribe. The recipient of the letter was a ghost general in his 30s with a beard and a high forehead."
When he left the city during the day, Long Chen thought the people around Qin Hao were ghost fetuses.
After knowing that the governor of Yangcheng was an insider, Long Chen suddenly figured it out.
Qin Hao and Gui Tai led their troops at the same time. Qin Hao was bluffing outside, while Gui Tai quietly sneaked into Yangcheng to cause trouble.
Therefore, since the ghost fetus is not outside the city, it must be Qin Hao who receives the letter.
When the matter was revealed, the man's psychological defense collapsed, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Long Chen: "Sir, please spare my life. It was Zeng Mu who instigated the younger one. The younger one is loyal to Da Zhou..."
Yan Gang kicked the man and cursed: "Tell me something!"
The man replied: "I peeked at the letter, and Zeng Mu told the ghost clan that there are only King Wu and Princess Shi in Yuncheng, and there are no elite soldiers guarding it."
Donna cursed angrily: "You are a thief who told the ghost clan about the truth in the city. You should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Long Chen asked calmly: "Is there any more?"
The man shook his head and said: "No more, no more."
Long Chen asked again: "Wu Gui, the governor of Yangcheng, do you know?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know."
He had been following Zeng Mu and really didn't know anything else.
"alright."
Long Chen sat back on the main seat, while Tang Na and Yan Gang waited for Long Chen to say goodbye.
"Kill him."
Long Chen said something casually, and the man wailed and begged: "Sir, please spare my life, spare your life, I am also forced to fight, and I am willing to be a pioneer in the war..."
Yan Gang stabbed the man in the heart with a knife and killed him in the room.
The man fell to the ground, and Yan Gang ordered the soldiers to drag him out and throw him away.
