The two of them slowly slid down the tree and quietly walked towards where

Yang Rui was hiding. With a crack, Shen Hui stepped on a dead branch. Shen Hui and Chen Lin hurriedly hid behind the tree. The crisp sound from the silent forest and woke Yang Rui up.

Yang Rui, who was exhausted after being injured, got up in panic. He raised his knife and looked around. “Who, who’s there? Come out.”

Shen Hui and Chen Lin looked at Yang Rui’s panicked expression and stood up from behind the tree to look at him in disgust. Shen Hui held the crossbow and looked at the panicked Yang Rui. He spat, “Pfft! Wretched traitor, I’m your Grandpa Shen.”

Yang Rui was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them. He did not expect the two of them to find him so quickly after drinking so much soup.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was stunned, Shen Hui pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The crossbow bolt flew out and hit Yang Rui’s wrist, which was holding the waist knife. With a clang, the waist knife fell on the fire and sparks flew. Yang Rui staggered back and fell to the ground.

Shen Hui and Chen Lin realized that Yang Rui was already injured from his clumsy actions. Chen Lin raised his bow and walked up to Yang Rui. “Pfft! Wretched spy. Traitor. You were injured as soon as you escaped! Looks like the heavens are not on your side!” Chen Lin looked at Yang Rui and gloated.

Yang Rui was injured in several places and knew that he was no match for Shen Hui and Chen Lin. He looked at the two of them indifferently and said with a smile, “I’m from Qi, so how can I talk about selling my country? Hehe! Ba Bean noodle soup is delicious, right? It’s a pity that there’s no arsenic poison. Tsk tsk tsk, look at the men of Great Yong. From top to bottom, they look like pussies. I advise the two of you to follow me to Great Qi. Otherwise, wait for Great Qi to destroy you.”

“Dog, what’s the use of being strong? Look at you Qi people. All of you are as stupid as bears and think you’re smart.” Shen Hui punched Yang Rui over and stepped on his chest. “You’re a Qi? Then why did the Wei family help you enter the military camp?

Yang Rui looked at Shen Hui with disdain. “Miss Wei doesn’t like women like you. What’s wrong? You’ve also taken a fancy to Miss Wei. Unfortunately, she doesn’t like gigolos like you who are neither male nor female. She likes strong and powerful men like me.”

Shen Hui watched as Yang Rui kept using words to anger him and Chen Lin. He looked at him coldly. “You don’t believe me when I say that you’re stupid. I know you are just trying to spite us into killing you.” As Shen Hui spoke, he kicked Yang Rui, who tilted his head and fainted.

Shen Hui looked at Yang Rui, who had fainted on the ground, and felt that there was something wrong with Yang Rui coming to the military camp. The Wei family was just a merchant family, Why would they ask Wei San to beg Second Uncle for a son-in-law that had yet to go through the marriage rites? Could it be that the Wei family was colluding with the Qi’s? If this matter was true, Second Uncle could not escape responsibility this time.

Chen Lin went forward and tied him up with a rope. Only then did he realize that his calves and wrists were exposed. He couldn’t help but shiver. “General Shen, so this dog was attacked by wild beasts. I think we should go to the tree to rest.”

Shen Hui looked at the gloomy forest and felt that Chen Lin’s words made sense. He pointed at the big tree beside the fire and said, “Let’s gag Yang Rui and hang him on the tree. We’ll go up the tree to rest for a night and go back to look for the general and the others tomorrow morning.”

At the foot of the mountain, Shen Shuo was still confronting the wolf pack. Seeing that Shen Shuo and the others had more people, the wolf pack did not dare to attack rashly. Because most of the soldiers were still very weak, Shen Shuo did not dare to attack rashly.

The group of wolves and Shen Shuo confronted each other. A team said to Shen

Shuo, “General, let’s kill these dogs with crossbow bolts.”

Shen Shuo shook his head. “Look, they’re smart! They know that we have the numbers and don’t dare to act rashly. As long as the fire doesn’t go out, they’ll naturally retreat at dawn.”

“Yes, General.” The squad looked back at the huge pile of firewood and decided it should last until dawn.

Zhou Jia sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yangyang, who had only fallen asleep after being coaxed for a long time. He went out to get a hot handkerchief to wipe the tears off his face. Seeing that his son was asleep and still sobbing from time to time, Zhou Jia thought of how the garrison general guarding the border of Linshan County had sent someone to say that there was something wrong with the Qi army yesterday. A war was about to break out. He wondered where Yu’er was. Thinking of this, Zhou Jia’s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. He suddenly had the intention to retreat. He thought that when the peace was over, he might as well resign and go back to Phoenix Village to set up an academy. He would not be an official anymore and would not let Yu’er take such risks. The family would live a leisurely life.

The next morning, Ruyi went to the farmstead and saw that more than half of the corn had been collected. It would be finished in two days at most.

Little Loach and the children helped put the corn into the wicker basket. Ah Wei tied the wicker basket with ropes and asked Ruyi, who was standing at the side to help, “Brother Ruyi, why are you hauling all these corn back to the city?

There’s nowhere to dry them in the city. Is something going to happen?”

Ruyi patted him. “Don’t make wild guesses. Madam instructed me to do so before she left. I bought a house in the alley behind the government office and will be hauling the corn back to dry there. ”

Ah Wei glanced at Ruyi. He felt that he was not telling the truth and was hiding something from him. “Brother Ruyi, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll guard it well and haul all the corn back. Don’t come back this time. Stay in the residence and protect Master and Young Master.”

“Okay.” Ruyi swallowed the words he was about to say and pulled the corn back.

Shen Shuo and the others confronted the wolf pack for the night. The wolf pack only retreated unwillingly after dawn. After a day and night of rest, the soldiers had already recovered a little. Shen Shuo led his men and rushed forward.

Halfway through, they encountered Shen Hui and Chen Lin, who were bringing

Yang Rui back.

Shen Hui told Shen Shuo that Yang Rui was from Qi. Shen Shuo looked at Shen Hui in a daze for a moment, his mind spinning. How could the Wei family not know Yang Rui was from Qi. ? Wei San had deliberately stuffed Yang Rui under his command. How much information had Yang Rui sent back to Great Qi? Shen Shuo shivered and understood that he had been schemed against.

Shen Hui watched as Shen Shuo’s expression changed and asked worriedly, “Second Uncle, how much does Yang Rui know about the military? Is there any way to salvage the situation?”

Shen Shuo glanced at the troops moving forward and gritted his teeth. “He shouldn’t know about the secret. It’s just that he knows about our defense. General Ouyang and I have already changed our defense. Fortunately, we came out in a hurry and he doesn’t know about the new defense. Let everyone leave first. We’ll bring Yang Rui into the forest to interrogate him.”

“Yes.” Shen Hui asked Chen Lin to bring Yang Rui into the forest and tie him to a tree. Shen Shuo instructed the lieutenant to continue forward with his men while he returned to the forest to interrogate Yang Rui.

Shen Shuo stared at Yang Rui, who was slowly waking up, like a wolf. He pinched his chin and asked angrily, “Where are you from? What does the Wei family have to do with Great Qi? Why did they send you under my command?”

“Haha…” Yang Rui broke the jar and looked at Shen Shuo as he laughed proudly. He looked at Shen Shuo mockingly.. “How does it feel to be played by someone?”
