Chapter 1248 - 392: Foreign Spies, Tear Them Apart_4
It wasn’t just wild beasts that were a threat, even humans could be dangerous. The foreign spy, in an attempt to avoid alarming the quarry, didn’t dare confront them head-on, and thus turned to flee before Little Flower could get close. During the escape, a part of a firearm accidentally got left behind, which was then brought back by Little Flower and eventually ended up in the hands of Xiao Ruiyuan.
With this piece of iron, it took Xiao Ruiyuan only two days to confirm that the mute person was a foreign spy. There were more foreign spies in Jingji, and in order to ensnare them all and gather more intelligence from the foreign tribe, Xiao Ruiyuan held his forces back, setting up a trap and waiting for them to fall into it.
When those spies could no longer contain themselves and snuck up to the back mountain, Xiao Ruiyuan decisively took action, capturing them all in one fell swoop with no exceptions. He had spent these days outwitting the spies, and fortunately, hard work pays off. In the end, he pried open the mouths of those spies and obtained quite a bit of valuable information.
This time, Xiao Ruiyuan made a great contribution. Emperor Huian, aware that the Mo Family was preparing for a celebration, generously granted him two days off. Two days might seem short, but as the Great General and leader of the Jingji Army, having these two days off was quite impressive.
"It’s thanks to Little Flower that the iron piece was found, and it’s her merit that the firearms were not transported out in time. I couldn’t hide this from The Emperor, so I have already reported the truth. In a few days, The Emperor might reward Little Flower," Xiao Ruiyuan said, glancing at the dwelling of the Six Beasts. Not seeing them or hearing their voices, he knew they weren’t there at the moment.
"Is that really going to happen? Little Flower will be so happy, she won’t know what to do with herself! But won’t The Emperor blame them for sneaking up the mountain?" Mo Yan said, pleased at first, before remembering the big secret hidden in the back mountain and becoming worried quickly thereafter.
