Chapter 273: Passive Slowdown
Bei Jingchu admired her smooth lips, pouted her lips and blew a kiss to herself in the mirror, while replying, "I don't know."
"But gunpowder is Dai Viet's secret recipe and cannot be leaked."
"Look, Tu Ning got it this time, proving there are spies in the Ministry of War."
"Who knows if there are any in the army?"
She finally stopped dithering, put down the mirror, smiled, and said with a pure and harmless look: "This is just a lie, just like the imperial physician who regularly checks the patient's pulse."
"There is nothing going on in the army. Now is the time for us to gain the upper hand. Let's also check for any spies."
"It's too troublesome to search them one by one. Let's just set up a trap to lure them out."
"Anyway, I am being looked down upon right now. I guess everyone thinks I am treating a big matter as a child's play, just like you do."
Having said that, Bei Jingchu raised his head somewhat proudly.
"I'm such a clever person, I'll be discovered someday!"
"I'll try to trick them before they believe I'm smart and intelligent."
"Otherwise, like you, you'll find that I'm very smart and it'll be hard to deceive me!"
Mu Chuyuan: ...Although what you said makes sense, my hands are itching, and I feel like the little prince is asking for something.
The Tuning army was overjoyed when they received the news. They took the intelligence sent by the spies and laughed, saying, "Even if the Yue Dynasty has abundant food and grass and powerful weapons, it can't cover up the fact that their commander is an ignorant child."
"Today, while their defense is empty, let's go and intercept their rear."
"By the way, if we capture the little prince alive, we will surely be able to put a big dent in the Yue Dynasty's morale!"
The battle ahead was going smoother than previous overwhelming victories, almost like a crushing victory.
Many people sighed that the siege was too smooth.
At the same time, more people were worried about defending the empty rear.
Some people pretended to be worried, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.
This time, Tu Ning must have sent a lot of troops to leave, and the rear of the Vietnamese army must have been captured.
At this time, the rear.
"Pretty!"
Bei Jingchu clapped his hands and said with an undisguised smile: "I said there were fools being fooled."
Then he stretched out his little hand and said to Bei Qin: "I lost the bet, give me the money."
Bei Qin: "...Who would have thought that such an obvious trap would be stepped on by a fool."
"Because the fool thinks I'm the fool."
“Don’t think everyone is smart. Smart people are all alike, while stupid people are all kinds of stupid.”
The captured general was so angry that he was about to explode when they kept calling him a fool.
But he could only suppress his powerless rage: "Bitch! Sinister and vicious woman, she only knows how to use despicable means."
Bei Jingchu keenly heard the word "sinister" and smiled brightly: "Thank you for the compliment~"
Then he quickly moved his crotch to his face and had someone cover his mouth.
"This is an important person, don't let them bite their tongues to death."
Mu Chuyuan rarely squeezed out a word of praise: "Your Highness is worthy of being the crown prince chosen by His Majesty. Although he is young, he is as good as an adult."
Bei Jingchu was not modest at all and took advantage of the situation to climb up: "Hehe, the reason why a genius is a genius has nothing to do with age."
Her words were arrogant, but no one refuted them.
All the facts of the past are enough to support her pride.
Bei Jingchu snapped his fingers and ordered, "Drag him away and torture him to find out who the spy is."
After thinking about it, she felt it was unreliable and started to call people: "Bei Qin, you go."
"There are so many people here. You can probably pry open the mouths of one or two of them, right?"
"As ordered."
The man was dragged away mercilessly. Everyone was shocked by today's reversal. She stood there with her hands behind her back, expressionless.
I could vaguely see the shadow of the man on the dragon throne.
Bei Jingchu put her hands behind her back, quietly rubbing her fingers that were a little painful from snapping them too hard, and tried hard to maintain a straight facial expression.
Woohoo, her fate is so unfortunate~
The spy in the dark returned to the military camp and heard about the trap set today to lure the enemy, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
But he comforted himself, thinking that it was okay and that he should not act rashly. There were only two people who knew his identity and they were strong-willed and could withstand the torture and would not give him away.
At this time in the torture room, Bei Qin ordered the executioner to stop whipping.
The little fox said in a high-sounding manner: "Don't be so rude~ It's not good to see blood~"
"We are a friendly army, so don't whip our guests."
"If anyone of you can tell me who the spy is, I will spare his life."
No matter what everyone knew, they all gritted their teeth and refused to say anything.
Bei Qin was not in a hurry either.
Normal torture is to make the body feel pain.
However, the most effective way to get people to tell the truth is to win their hearts.
He went out and gave the order: "Don't lock them up in one place, either in a tent, a cell, or a cave."
"Put them in separate places where there is no light, and don't let them hear any sound from outside."
Just like that, for one, two, and three days, I no longer cared about these people.
Mu Chuyuan came to ask: "Did the guard forget the order of His Highness?"
Bei Qin didn't want to explain any more: "Don't worry, Deputy General. Your Highness didn't urge me, so why are you urging me?"
Mu Chuyuan: "... Mainly because I see you are so relaxed every day, and I am afraid you will forget about your work."
He just smiled and didn't bother to say anything more.
Mu Chuyuan: ...These two people from the Bei family seem to look down on him.
Mu Chuyuan ran away feeling wronged and went to complain to other brothers.
One of them was Xie Xi, who listened to him and said, "It's fine if Her Highness looks down on me. I'm still young but I can take on the responsibility of a country. I did offend her before and made her think I was stupid."
"But what is Beiqin's right?"
"That's right. His Highness asked him to interrogate the prisoners, but he locked them up and went off to have fun."
Xie Xi became more and more delighted as she listened, and she could hardly suppress the smile on her face.
God really favored him, making the prince confused and sending a lazy and stupid person to try the case.
