Chapter 50.2

He couldn’t understand his mood. It was more complicated than the military situation. He felt uncomfortable but slightly relieved.

Big Long was engrossed in his personal thoughts when he arrived at the Shi Ling Cliff military camp.

Upon arrival, he watched the torture and interrogation, reprimanded the generals and soldiers, and asked to reorganize military discipline. After that, he dismissed the two captured spies because they were just pawns, useless.

“Kill them. Cut off their heads and throw them back to the South Qin side. Teach them the consequences of coming against us.” Chu Qing suggested, looking at the terrified appearance of the two prisoners.

“Do you think that this is the way to establish authority?” Big Long sneered coldly.

Chu Qing did not dare to speak. The two prisoners were blindfolded and did not dare to breathe. They couldn’t see Big Long’s face but knew who this man was just by listening. Whether they live or die depends on just a word from this man.

“Throw them back, alive.”

The two war prisoners sighed with relief.

“This is the right way to tell South Qin we are not afraid of them.”

“General!” Chu Qing was impatient but still wanted to persuade. However, Big Long flicked his sleeve and left.

The two prisoners had their hearts in their throats, fearing things might change at any second. But they only heard the general cursing and yelling to the guards, “Deliver an arrow letter to the South Qin, and ask them to meet us in front of the battlefield in three days at noon!!!”

The two prisoners heard Chu Qing yell, “Keep interrogating them and find out everything they know.”

After Chu Qing threw his temper, he ran angrily to the tent at the other end of the camp. Big Long was sitting inside. Chu Qing entered, exhaled, rubbed his face, and his anger dissipated.

Big Long looked up at him and continued to stare at the book in his hand. Chu Qing glimpsed at the book’s cover and was suddenly excited. It was the legendary ‘General Long’s biography,’ ah! He hurriedly took two steps forward: “General, why don’t you read some serious military reports? I’ll help you look at this idle book.”

“Not learning the good, but learning Zeqing’s greasy mouth?” Big Long crossed him a glance and continued to sweep through the words on the book. In fact, he remembered all the content, but An Ruochen was reminding him about it, so he had to think about what she wanted to say. “Has that guy arrived yet?”

“Yes, he arrived according to the General’s order. He came fast and furious. He is already mingling in the county.”

“Hmm.” Big Long answered. He had finished flipping through the book and continued to peruse by opening ‘General Long’s New Biography’ while saying, “There are spies mixed into the Purple Cloud House. Xie Gang’s spies were intercepted and killed on their mission. Jiang Song is investigating who leaked the information.”

Chu Qing frowned: “It’s hard to enter the Purple Cloud House. To be able to access military orders, that spy must have some ability. What kind of mission was it that made him expose himself?”

“It’s about the power of the spy in the city, so Xie Gang went there personally.”

Chu Qing understood: “Xie Gang is steady and decisive. He must be able to catch up with them.”

Big Long was still flipping through the book quickly.

“What’s going on in this book?”

“Nothing.”

Chu Qing: “……” why he heard it was a fantastic book of flattery.

Chu Qing looked at Big Long turning the pages of the book. His hands are so itchy, ah. Can I touch the edge of the book?

Big Long suddenly closed the book and slapped it on the table. Chu Qing jumped, can’t even touch the edge of the book?

Big Long suddenly understood An Ruochen’s meaning – lure the tiger away from the mountain. There are stories about luring the tiger away from the mountain in both books.

Big Long frowned at the thought, wondering what made her judge it. But she was inexperienced, so it was possible to misjudge.

Chu Qing looked at Big Long’s expression: “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Have you sent someone to deliver an arrow letter to South Qin?” Big Long deviated. He had taught An Ruochen that it was better to let fewer people know, and she used this trick when he was leaving.

“Yes, three days later.”

“Mm.” Big Long nodded his head. Feng’an County had Xie Gang to check it out, and Zhonglan City had Jiang Song. Neither side would miss anything. If something happened, that girl should know what to do.

Meanwhile, An Ruochen was waiting for Lu Daniang early in the morning.

After Lu Daniang finished delivering vegetables and collected the accounts, she met An Ruochen in the hall. The first question she asked was, “Did you and the An family get into trouble again yesterday?”

“Did you hear about it?”

“Yes. This kind of thing always spreads fast.” Lu Daniang was a little worried for her, “Is Miss in trouble?”

An Ruochen nodded: “I want to ask for your help. But it’s not the An family’s business. And it’s dangerous.”

Lu Daniang suddenly became earnest: “What is it?”

“I have dragged Daniang into trouble in the past, but you did not care, and now Daniang is being targeted by Qian Pei and my father. I am sorry to have put you in such tight spot, Daniang. But this matter is important, so I need to clarify this with you, Daniang. If you are involved in this, your life will be in danger. You have to keep silent and hide the secrets.”

Lu Daniang’s eyes shone, she lowered her voice, and asked: “Are you asking me to deal with the spy, Miss?”

An Ruochen nodded her head.

Lu Daniang stepped forward and held An Ruochen’s hand, saying seriously, “I’m willing.”

“Daniang.” Although within her expectation, An Ruochen felt touched. She was too lucky to meet such a character.

“If I were a man, I would also want to go to the battlefield to protect my family and country. I can’t go to the battlefield. But to contribute and protect my country, I am willing.”

“Daniang, only the two of us know about this matter.”

Lu Daniang nodded and asked, “What is the matter?”

“There is a traitor in the army. I found a new clue but dare not publicize it. Time is pressing, and I must follow it. Otherwise, the other side will destroy the clues. But my every move in the Purple Cloud House is being monitored. That spy knows the military orders, so what I want to do will not be able to escape his ears. Therefore, I deliberately fought with my second sister yesterday.”

Lu Daniang understood: “Today, Miss looking for me must be for the An family matter, not related to the other.”

“Right.”

“Then you can tell me how the An family has committed crimes.”

Lu Daniang’s serious tone amused An Ruochen.
