Chapter 249 Beating
As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone of the military camp, coating everything with a faint silver glow. Qi Shuo walked alone in the quiet camp, his steps steady and powerful, just like his firm belief, unshakable.
Qi Shuo's eyes were as deep as the sea, and he could always see through the enemy's clues. He understood that a real spy was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, and it must be lured out with a clever strategy. So he carefully laid out a big plan - a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
In the middle of the night, a faint light flickered quietly. This was the bait that Qi Shuo had planted in advance - the source of the false news. The wind carried the seemingly airtight intelligence in the night, exploring every corner. In this dark and silent night, it seemed as if an invisible giant hand was stirring in the dark, quietly stirring up waves.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the military camp suddenly became tense. Soldiers were talking about it, and all kinds of speculations and guesses filled the air. Behind all this was Qi Shuo's carefully arranged smoke bomb. He knew that the real spies would be suspicious at this moment, but they could not hide their curiosity, and they would definitely come out as promised.
At this moment, a letter quietly lay on Qi Shuo's desk. It was a simple bamboo tube sealed at the mouth. When he opened it, he saw only a short line of short sentences written in sloppy handwriting, as hidden as a small flower hidden in the cracks of the stone.
The letter only contained a few brief statements.
However, there was a cunning tone in his words. Qi Shuo observed coldly that this was the message delivered by the spy, and the codeword pointed out the next plan - the place where they would meet secretly at night had been decided.
Finally, as the night was coming, dull and chaotic footsteps could be heard around the military camp. These footsteps were filled with anxiety and a hint of imperceptible tension. Qi Shuo knew that this moment had finally arrived - the real spy was about to show up.
Following the order, layers of soldiers quickly surrounded the military camp. Their eyes were firm and sharp, and the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly in the moonlight. The spy also appeared at this time - a tall man who was driven crazy by hypocrisy and greed, but with a foul odor in his bones.
After a fierce pursuit and struggle, the cunning spy was finally subdued and fell to the ground, unable to struggle anymore.
He lowered his head in dejection in the dark corner. How powerless and insignificant he was at that moment! His schemes and cunning seemed so insignificant in front of the strict layout of this military camp.
"General, General, I..."
"What? You want to go home again?" Sun Yuan snorted coldly and stepped on Wang Tian's hand.
There was another person captured with Wang Tian. This person was also wearing a soldier's uniform. Sun Yuan knocked off the armor of this person, revealing a very impressive face.
"It's you?" Sun Yuan was shocked.
This is a soldier under Sun Yuan, named Liu Peng.
Liu Peng has always been efficient in his work and has good martial arts skills, so he has always been valued by Sun Yuan.
But unexpectedly, the spy turned out to be Liu Peng.
"Say! Who sent you?"
Liu Peng kept silent.
"If you don't tell me, you will be severely punished!" Sun Yuan immediately ordered someone to drag the two men away.
"Go to Liu Peng's residence and find the defense map!" Sun Yuan ordered.
However, this defense map was not found at Liu Peng’s residence.
"This bastard, I trusted him, but I have to make him reveal the master behind him." Sun Yuan was very angry.
However, Qi Shuo said: "Find someone to investigate this Liu Peng and find out what his hobbies are and who he contacts with. We can look for clues from the side."
"Yes! I have already sent people to investigate this matter! Why are there so many spies? They harmed us once before, and now they come again?" Sun Yuan was helpless.
"Perhaps they are not spies from the enemy country!" Qi Shuo suddenly said.
"Then who sent them?" Sun Yuan asked.
Qi Shuo already had the answer in his mind.
Outside the door, someone suddenly came to pass on a message: "General, Liu Peng said he wants to see you."
Qi Shuo smiled coldly and said, "Aren't they here right now?"
"General, be careful of traps. I will accompany you!" Sun Yuan said.
Qi Shuo shook his head: "No need, I can go by myself."
Qi Shuo came to the prison and saw Liu Peng, who had hardly been punished. He asked to see him, which showed that he had already prepared his excuse.
"General Qi, please ask these people to leave. I have something to say to you."
Sun Yuan outside doubted and advised: "General..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Qi Shuo was not afraid of a prisoner.
So Sun Yuan led his men to retreat.
"Where is the defense map?" Qi Shuo asked.
"General, don't you ask who sent me?" Liu Peng said.
Qi Shuo frowned and said, "No need to ask!"
Liu Peng laughed and said, "It seems that the general has already made a guess, so I don't need to say more. The higher-ups asked the general to make a choice, either to choose the Duke of England or to choose myself!"
Of course Qi Shuo knew who was above.
Isn’t that the dog emperor above?
He had made an agreement with this dog emperor before, but it was all to fool the dog emperor. The dog emperor probably realized it and wanted to punish him.
Qi Shuo curled the corners of his lips and said, "Of course I choose myself!"
"Then General, you made the right choice. The higher-ups asked you to do something!" Liu Peng said with a smile.
"what's up?"
"General, come closer!"
Qi Shuo took two steps forward and his face suddenly changed after hearing what Liu Peng whispered.
"General, if you don't choose, you will be the one to die," Liu Peng warned.
"I understand. Hand over the defense map!"
"It seems that the general made the right choice. However, General, this is just a warning. If it happens again next time, the higher-ups won't let it go so easily!" said Liu Peng.
"I see!"
Being able to catch someone so easily this time is probably also a warning to Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo learned the location of the defense map and sent people to look for it.
In the eyes of outsiders, this time they not only successfully led out the real spy, but also found the crucial defense map. The piece of paper contained important information such as the layout of the military stronghold and the location of the fortress, which was the key to victory in the war. At this moment, it lay quietly in Qi Shuo's hand.
The military camp seemed to have regained its peace and order, but the crisis was lurking beneath the calm surface. Qi Shuo stood there, staring ahead with a sharp gaze.
At the beginning, he liked to win battles, because winning battles could help him recapture more cities, but as time went by, he found that no matter whether he won or lost, there would be casualties, and he began to hate fighting. Once a war broke out, the people would be hurt. He was willing to pay any price to protect his country and the peace of the people, but the king who sat on the throne and enjoyed all this was not worthy.
Qi Shuo suddenly realized that sometimes, to protect something, blood must be shed.
