Xie Zhifeng is lucky. He doesn't have many pursuers. After he has solved the problem, he rides the horse and Duan Sanshan to Xiliang city.
But good luck won't always come. In order to get some information, Xie Zhifeng went deep into the hinterland of Ximan. It's not easy for them to leave here smoothly?
Even if they get rid of a wave of pursuers for the time being, there will be a steady stream of pursuers after them.
When they returned to Xiliang City, they both lost a lot of weight.
Especially Duan Sanshan, who was injured, was thin as a whole. Xie Zhifeng was better than him, but he was also very embarrassed.
Xie Zhifeng knows that the military situation is urgent. Marshal Zhao must be eager to know what they have inquired about. As soon as he comes back, he goes directly to marshal Zhao to report. He doesn't even have time to wash his hands.
Xie Zhifeng was right. Everyone was very concerned about the news they found in Xiliang. Even if Marshal Zhao didn't call them, they all took the initiative to come as soon as they heard the news.
Xie Zhifeng told them all the other news, except that the ally mentioned by the king of Ximan might have a spy who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country in the court, which was concealed by Xie Zhifeng.
He wanted to report the matter to marshal Zhao alone and let him make a decision. Otherwise, it would be easy to shake the morale of the army and make his comrades suspect if such news was spread.
Marshal Zhao heard Xie Zhifeng's conjecture, his face was complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"This matter should not be publicized. You should check it carefully in private. You must find out the black sheep!
In fact, both benshuai and Xiandi suspected that there were spies in the court.
You are young. You have never experienced the war of defending the country that nearly destroyed us in the period of the former Emperor. You don't know how fierce the war was at that time.
Although our soldiers in yuechao may not be able to beat those barbarians by fighting alone.
But we are far more than them. We can deal with one of them by two or even three.
Even if it is to take people's lives to pile, it should not be such a tragic defeat!
But I don't know why, the barbarians can always anticipate the enemy's opportunity and easily see through our plot, which in turn makes us suffer a heavy loss.
Both the commander-in-chief and the emperor once suspected that someone in the court had secretly informed the enemy country, which made us suffer a heavy loss.
It's a pity that the spy was buried so deeply that the emperor and I couldn't find him.
Now many years have passed, this person should be very old.
And years ago, he knew our strategic plan like the back of his hand, so his position at that time was not low. "
Marshal Zhao is well aware of Xie Zhifeng's ability. He tries his best to tell Xie Zhifeng what he knows, so as to provide him with more clues for his verification.
He had a premonition that Xie Zhifeng might be able to do what he and the late emperor could not do.
He has been in the army for many years and has never seen a more powerful scouting than Xie Zhifeng. It seems that he was born to eat this bowl of rice.
The news that others can't get and the things they can't do can be solved by him.
Xie Zhifeng was stunned when he heard Marshal Zhao's words.
He didn't expect that the spy was buried so deep that he couldn't dig him out after two dynasties.
He had a hunch that this would be the most difficult challenge he had ever met since he joined the army. It was more difficult than letting him go deep into the tiger's den to investigate the life and death of King Ximan.
"My subordinates will do their best to find out the thief and never let the marshal down!"
Although Xie Zhifeng knew nothing about the so-called spy now, he still patted his chest in front of Marshal Zhao and promised.
