Chapter 404： Spy (asking for monthly votes and recommended votes)

Before she could think about it, Xiao Mo lifted her into the carriage.

“Stay well!” He waved his hand, and several guards surrounded the carriage.

Yingbao's mind was racing, thinking about what would be the safest thing to do.

At this time, it is definitely not a wise move to fight head-on, but it is not okay to let them search.

What if they hurt Chen Zhu and the others?

“Xiao Mo! What are you doing?” Ying Bao asked loudly.

But Xiao Mo ignored them at all and directed the cavalry out of the city gate. He himself stood at the city gate and explained the tactics of the troops guarding the city.

Yingbao suddenly calmed down.

Chen Zhu and the others are just ordinary villagers, so what if they catch them?

She and others are just looking for self-protection, and she does everything by herself, and has nothing to do with Chen Zhu and others. Although Xiao Mo is cold, he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Thinking about this, Ying Bao calmed down and sat on the carriage to watch the changes.

Half an hour later, the cavalry leaving the city turned around.

"Nothing unusual was found." One person reported to Xiao Mo: "We have searched the whole forest, and there is no suspicious person."

Ying Bao listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that when Chen Zhu saw the white handkerchief he was waving, he got into the woods and escaped without wasting any time.

Xiao Mo's frown slightly relaxed. After returning to the carriage, he asked the driver to drive back home.

Back at the county government office, Yingbao went straight back to the house, locked himself in the house and did not allow anyone to come in to disturb him, secretly playing with the poisons.

It is unrealistic to poison Xiao Mo to death at once, because Xiao Chengjun will arrive soon with his troops.

Then, I can only wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action.

Several days passed and the Xiao family’s army arrived.

But they did not enter the city, but camped outside the city.

In the evening, Xiao Chengjun entered the city with twenty or thirty guards to meet with his brother.

 Yingbao was confined to the county government office and saw no one.

But she had a chance to escape.

Because the two maids who were always with him finally left the house and went to the front yard to help.

Ying Bao opened the door and walked out. She came to the room that Xiao Mo used as his study room and opened the door. Looking around, I didn't see anything useful. There were no maps or letters.

At this moment, someone seemed to be coming from outside.

Yingbao immediately ducked to the back window and ducked into the cave.

After that, she stayed in the cave for several days. In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, she collected mushrooms and fruits, and fed the horses.

That’s right, she also keeps a horse in her cave in case of emergencies.

Then we go to the small courtyard of the cave and perform a set of sword skills in the middle of the courtyard.

She had never dared to look at the mirror in the bedroom because she was inexplicably afraid of that thing.

However, she didn't know that there was a big commotion outside because of her disappearance.

Xiao Mo sent people to search from house to house in the county, but no trace of Ying Bao was found.

So the two maids responsible for taking care of her were whipped, and the guards guarding the county government were also punished.

But the little girl seemed to disappear out of thin air and never appeared again.

A few days later, Xiao Mo and Xiao Chengjun led two teams of troops to recapture the surrounding counties.

During this period, Ying Bao would come out of the cave every night, waiting for an opportunity to spy on the situation in the study.

Finally one day, Yingbao found a lot of spy information from the drawer of the study table.

There is a piece of news that says there are rebels stationed in Anping County. How many people there are, how many horses there are, where the grain and grass are placed, where the troops are stationed, and who the leading general is. The description is extremely detailed.

Ying Bao frowned. Anping County was close to Chuanhe Town. She suspected that Da Zhou's team wanted to come over to encircle and suppress the Xiao brothers.

But before they arrived, someone revealed detailed information to the Xiao family, indicating that there must be an insider in that team.

Yingbao quickly took the spy report back to the cave, copied it over, and put it back intact in the drawer. Then he climbed out of the window and quietly came under the wall.

Seeing a guard patrolling over, she ducked into the cave and mentally calculated the observed patrol time in the past few days.

Anticipating that the group of guards had already passed by, Ying Bao appeared again, climbed up a jujube tree at the base of the wall, and easily climbed out.

There is still a patrol team outside, but Yingbao has a cave to hide in. As long as she waits in the cave for the guards to go away, she will quickly run into the darkness.

Ying Bao did not dare to hesitate and sneaked out of the county through the waterway again.

After leaving the county town, she did not dare to take the dry road. Instead, she took out the gourd boat and rowed towards Anping County from the waterway.

After rowing for dozens of miles, we boarded the shore again, rode our horses and galloped along the official road.

She would not dare to go to the inn on the official road, in case it was a member of the Xiao family.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Ying Bao arrived in Anping County. Based on the address in the intelligence report, he found the stationed team and asked to see their general, saying that he had something important to tell him.

After the soldier informed her, he came back soon and took her inside.

Ying Bao was taken into a tent and saw several people sitting in the tent. The leader turned out to be Uncle Fu.

“Yingbao, why are you here?” Wei Zhan, who was standing next to him, came over excitedly.

Yingbao looked around at everyone and said, "I have something important to report to the general, and it is not appropriate to share it with others."

Zhou Fu frowned and motioned for everyone on the left and right to exit, including Wei Zhan and Xu Kun.

Wei Zhan looked resentful and withdrew from the account together with the others.

Ying Bao glanced at the scribe standing behind Uncle Fu again and said, "He hasn't gone out yet."

The scribe paused and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you point fingers in the military camp!"

Ying Bao had no time to pay attention to him. She turned to Zhou Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, I have something important to say to you alone."

The scribe's face turned red and he pointed at Ying Bao and wanted to say something else. Then Zhou Fu spoke: "Mr. Dong, you go out first. This woman is the daughter of an acquaintance and is not considered an outsider."

Mr. Dong groaned angrily and walked out of the tent. He passed by Yingbao and glared at her.

When Zhou Fu saw them all walking out of the tent, he asked, "Yingbao, what's going on?"

Ying Bao then sent the intelligence he copied to Zhou Fu, "Look at this."

Zhou Fu took it and looked at it carefully, frowning and sullen.

He naturally knows what this means.

The only one who can know the detailed information and movements of his own army is the insider.

In other words, there was a traitor around him.

“Uncle Fu, the Xiao family’s army has more than ten thousand people here this time, and they are all deployed near Qinchuan County. Qinchuan County has fallen into the hands of the Xiao family. Don’t be fooled and go to rescue Qinchuan County.”

 Yingbao told Uncle Zhou Fu everything he knew in one breath, including the situation in the county.

"I know." Zhou Fu smiled and said to Ying Bao: "Thank you, Ying Bao, go and have a good rest. Let's set off tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Ying Bao was indeed very tired. She felt like she could sleep for three days and three nights without opening her eyes.

Zhou Fu asked someone to take Ying Bao to rest. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes in meditation.

Thinking of Ying Bao's words, he mentally reviewed all the people around him and made a decision.

 Zhou Fu summoned all his generals and told them to set off early tomorrow morning to attack the Xiao brothers' team in Zhouhe County.

That night, a dark shadow sneaked into the woods outside the station, took something out of his arms and stuffed it into a tree hole.

Looked around and returned quietly.

Shortly after the black shadow left, two more shadows approached the big tree. They took out an oil paper bag from the tree hole and opened it. They were all so angry that their teeth itched.

“This bastard! He is indeed a spy!”

Please give me a monthly ticket!

The moon is sixteen full on the fifteenth day. I wish all your babies a happy life.
