The consequences of being infiltrated into the army by spies were very serious. Qin Jiyan took this matter very seriously. In order not to alert others, Qin Jiyan did not conduct a grand investigation, but instead summoned several lieutenants to discuss the matter.
From the mouths of those seven people, Qin Jiyan was certain that King Zhao's spies had infiltrated into the army. It was said that they had received the news in advance and it would not be difficult to find the spies. But who can guarantee that after they find out this time, they will not be able to find the spies.
There will be a next time, and there won’t be anyone who hides deeper?
"Secretly notify each thousand or hundreds of households to keep an eye on their own people. If they find suspicious persons, secretly note them down and report them to their superiors. Remember to do it without leaving any trace and not to be discovered by spies."
"From now on, the entire army has entered level one martial law. In order to ensure that our battle plan is not known to King Zhao, all generals need to eat and live together from today on, and are not allowed to communicate with outsiders."
"Deputies don't have to worry about the specific battle plan. After I discuss it with the prince and others, what you have to do will be handed over to you in the form of a letter. Please remember your tasks and act as ordered.
That’s it.”
…
Qin Jiyan issued orders in an orderly manner. From his orders, Prince Pingxi and others clearly understood that His Highness Qin not only suspected that there were spies in the army, but even suspected that one of the lieutenants was from King Zhao.
This suspicion is not unreasonable. King Zhao is not Xihu. King Zhao has been operating in Daqin for decades. How could his connections be only in the northwest camp.
Thinking that King Zhao had always known their information accurately before, King Pingxi knew that His Highness Qin's suspicion was not unfounded, and he would not question Qin Jiyan's order.
The government orders were smooth and highly executed. Qin Jiyan's prestige in the army was unmatched. Once his orders were issued, they were immediately implemented most effectively. Although the generals were unhappy because they were suspected, they could not imagine the consequences of the war.
Lord, His Highness Qin will definitely know whether they have second thoughts or not.
No matter what they feel in their hearts, every lieutenant-general is extremely cautious on the surface, and every one of them has a calm face. There is no dissatisfaction at all, and no one shows a guilty conscience.
After the explanation, His Highness Qin asked the lieutenants to retire, leaving only Prince Pingxi to discuss matters with General Cheng.
His Highness Qin has no doubts about these two people.
"Prince, General Cheng, what do you think about this matter?" Qin Jiyan did not say it clearly, but the two of them understood that General Cheng glanced at Prince Pingxi and knew that he had to talk about this first. "Your Highness, are you a soldier?"
Is there a spy among them?"
"Well," Qin Jiyan nodded, "Without the cover of the generals, it is impossible for those people to sneak into the army smoothly." Even if the reinforcements and garrison are not familiar with each other now, they can let people sneak in, but if there is no one to cover them, it will take three or two days.
It will be exposed, King Zhao will not do such a loss-making thing.
"Your Highness, you mean that the spies were among the group of people just now?" General Cheng never understood the art of speaking. He just said whatever came to his mind.
For Qin Jiyan, it was quite interesting to talk to General Cheng like this. He nodded and said, "So to speak, did the prince and the general notice anything unusual?"
The period of time when he was away was probably the time when the spies were most active, and Prince Pingxi could always tell something.
General Cheng couldn't answer this kind of question at all. He had never thought about spies before.
Prince Pingxi pondered for a moment and named two people. These two people had nothing to do with Prince Zhao. Prince Pingxi had no evidence. It was just that these two people were extremely active during the period when Qin Jiyan disappeared. Prince Pingxi
I paid more attention.
When General Cheng heard this, he got angry. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Are they those two boys? Or the people I brought out. If they dare to betray Da Qin, I will beat them to death."
General Cheng was an impulsive person. He was about to run out as soon as he rolled up his sleeves. Fortunately, Prince Pingxi was quick and caught him. "Old Cheng, please calm down. I said it was doubtful. Why are you so nervous?"
.”
"You've got your suspicions, but you're still lying." This is General Cheng. He never uses his brains in battles, only relies on the instinct of the beast, but he can always turn danger into good luck.
When Qin Jiyan heard this, he nodded: "General Cheng is right. The fact that you are suspicious, Prince, is enough to prove that there is something wrong with those two people. However, now is not the time to kill them. Since the suspicious person has been found,
, let’s make good use of it.”
Qin Jiyan waved and signaled General Cheng and Prince Pingxi to come over. He had a new plan...
In terms of deceiving people, Qin Jiyan is even worse than Feng Sijin!
After Qin Jiyan left, Gu Qiancheng immediately washed up and wiped her hair while thinking about Qin Jiyan's words. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she might actually be pregnant. However, it was less than a month ago and she couldn't feel her pulse at all.
You can be careful yourself.
Gu Qiancheng was very tired after a busy day. Thinking that Qin Jiyan would not let her work hard, she hugged the quilt and huddled in the corner to rest. As a result, someone broke into Qin Jiyan's tent without any discernment.
Gu Qiancheng's presence could not be found for a moment.
When Qin Jiyan came back in the middle of the night, he saw no one in the camp. After looking around, he saw Gu Qiancheng curled up in the corner like a kitten, and couldn't help but smile.
He stepped forward and picked her up. The alert Gu Qiancheng woke up immediately. However, when she smelled a familiar scent, she immediately relaxed her body, nuzzled into Qin Jiyan's arms, and fell asleep again.
She is so sleepy...
"What a big kid." Qin Jiyan laughed, but was satisfied with Gu Qiancheng's obedience and did not run out while he was away.
Carefully helping Gu Qiancheng take off his extra clothes, Qin Jiyan held him in his arms...
Ni Yue, the saint of the Eternal Life Sect, led a group of people to find the ruins of Shuangcheng, but they did not find Dragon and Phoenix City as they expected, and they were even trapped in the ruins and could not get out!
The abandoned city seemed to have been cursed. No matter how they walked, they could not get out. No matter which direction they walked, they would end up back under the collapsed city wall. Even if Ni Yue was familiar with the formation, there was nothing he could do.
The Changshengmen group spent half a month in the abandoned city, and the food and water they brought were gone.
"Saint Girl, we have been without water or food for three days. If we continue like this, we will die." Spider Girl's lips were so dry that they bled. The black spider on her shoulder was motionless. It was clear that she had been hungry for a long time.
"Yes. There will be a way out." Ni Yue's beautiful brows wrinkled slightly, and her dry cheeks showed the vicissitudes of life washed by wind and rain.
She hasn't washed herself for half a month, and only drank a sip of water for several days. No matter how beautiful she is, she can't retain her original tenderness, and she's not shriveled to show her old age. She is already blessed by nature.
Is there really a way out?
The few people accompanying him didn't speak, but the despair in their eyes was impossible to ignore.
Ni Yue knew that this was not going to work. In order to stimulate everyone, Ni Yue said: "The emperor's grandson of Da Qin was trapped in the abandoned city. We have been looking for him for so long, but we have not found his body. It can be seen that he has gone out. He can get out.
Of course we can go out too."
Ni Yue was so confident in what he said, and the Eternal Life Sect thought the same thing, and each of them regained their fighting spirit. But what they didn't know was that when they were desperately trying to find a way out, there was something blocking Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng's progress.
Snake Cave has also undergone earth-shaking changes...
