Chapter 225: A spy in the army
After entering the cave, there is a narrow and dark passage. The walls of the passage are wet, and from time to time, water drops fall from above, making crisp dripping sounds on the ground, which is particularly loud in this quiet passage.
Relying only on the dim light from the flashlight, the three of them moved forward cautiously in the passage.
Shen Yiran held the key tightly, his palms were full of sweat, and his heart was both nervous and full of anticipation.
She had no idea where this passage would lead them, and at this moment, fatigue and hunger were long forgotten.
As we walked, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of us, and two passages in different directions appeared before our eyes.
Shen Yiran suddenly stopped, frowning, and focused her eyes on the key in her hand again. She looked at it carefully, trying to find clues about which passage to choose from this mysterious key, but there was no clue on the key.
"What should we do? If we choose the wrong passage, we might not be able to get to the military camp in time." Banxia said anxiously, her voice revealing undisguised worry.
Shen Yiran gritted his teeth, slowly closed his eyes, concentrated all his thoughts, and recalled every detail of his experience in the cave in his mind like a movie.
She thought hard, trying to find any clues she might have missed that would help them make the right choice.
Suddenly, the scene of seeing the two portraits emerged in her mind.
At that time, the two paintings were lifelike. The grandfather in the paintings was holding a sword, and the hilt of the sword was shining with a unique luster under the candlelight.
There were some tiny symbols engraved on the hilt of the sword. The lines of those symbols were slender and arranged in an orderly manner. She felt that they were somewhat familiar at the time. Now thinking about it, it seemed that there was some similarity between them and the pattern on the handle of the key.
She quickly opened her eyes and carefully examined the pattern on the key handle again. The pattern was like a winding vine, delicate and exquisite, and every turn seemed to tell an ancient story.
Relying on her memory, she carefully simulated the arrangement and combination of those symbols and patterns in her mind.
After some hard thinking, Shen Yiran discovered that if the pattern on the key handle was interpreted in a certain way, it seemed to point to the passage on the right.
Just when she was hesitant and struggling with which path to choose, a familiar voice rang in her mind like a clear mountain spring: "My lady, believe in yourself, your choice is right."
The sudden voice startled Shen Yiran for a moment, and then an inexplicable sense of security slowly surged into her heart like a warm current.
Although she was still not sure which was the right path to take, Ling'er's words with magical power were like a shot of adrenaline, which eased her tense nerves a little.
"I feel like it's right to take the passage on the right." Shen Yiran said after taking a deep breath. Although he was not completely sure, he could only trust his intuition at this moment.
So the three of them continued to move forward towards the passage on the right.
However, in the military camp in Jingfeng County, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Lin Bei led a group of people back to the military camp, but they did not bring Ren Jingzhi back.
This result instantly dashed Yu Gongyu's expectations, and an extremely obvious look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face. His expression seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze that took a long time to dissipate.
He stood there for a long time, clenching his fists, trembling slightly, and full of worry.
Various situations that Ren Jingzhi might encounter kept appearing in his mind, and each scenario was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He knew in his heart that in the upcoming battle, without Ren Jingzhi's assistance, it would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task for him.
Ren Jingzhi is a man of great martial arts and wisdom. In many previous battles, he was always able to rely on his extraordinary wisdom to cleverly plan and defeat the enemy unexpectedly.
Now without his help, I can only rely on myself to deal with and overcome the many variables and difficulties and obstacles on the battlefield.
Yu Gongyu gathered the deputy commanders and main generals of the army with a serious expression. The atmosphere in the main camp was so depressing that it was almost hard to breathe.
The soldiers around all had serious expressions, their eyes revealing the tension and determination of the impending war.
After all the generals arrived, Yu Gongyu slowly raised his head and scanned everyone's faces one by one.
There was a look in his eyes that showed his firm determination for the upcoming battle, as well as a hint of solemnity due to the seriousness of the situation.
He took a deep breath and said:
"All of you are commanders. I believe you are all aware of the current situation. The people of Yuancheng County are being brutally ravaged by the enemy. We cannot afford to delay any longer. We must drive the enemy out of Yuancheng County as soon as possible and give the people peace. Time is running out. We must act tonight."
After that, he looked at General Li, his tone calm and serious: "General Li, you have rich combat experience, this time you will be responsible for leading an elite team, you must disguise yourself carefully and sneak into the city.
There are many enemy troops in the city, and the situation is complicated and dangerous. You must pay attention to safety and be flexible. Once you have the chance, you must surprise the enemy."
General Li clasped his fists, his expression stern, and said in a loud voice: "I will definitely fulfill my mission, Marshal, please rest assured!"
Yu Gongyu nodded slightly, then turned to Chen Yi and Lin Nan, his eyes full of expectation and trust: "Chen Yi, Lin Nan, the two of you need to cleverly arrange an ambush outside the city, choose a good hidden place, and ensure that you are not noticed by the enemy.
When the time is right, try to lure the enemy troops of the Western Region Palace out of the city to fight. Then we must cooperate tacitly and give them a heavy blow. "
Chen Yi and Lin Nan looked at each other and responded in unison: "Yes, Marshal! We will definitely go all out!"
Finally, Yu Gongyu's eyes fell on Lin Bei, and he solemnly instructed: "Lin Bei, uniting the surrounding cities is the key to this battle.
You need to contact the surrounding cities as soon as possible, explain the situation to them, and sincerely request their support. The close cooperation between all parties is related to the success or failure of this battle. The burden on your shoulders is not light. "
Lin Bei looked serious and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will go and do it immediately."
After deploying all this, Umiya Yu sat alone in the main camp, surrounded by silence.
He clenched the piece of paper tightly in his hand, and the veins on his hands bulged, as if he wanted to hold the paper in his hand.
Time goes back to an hour ago, when Yu Gongyu was still immersed in worrying about Ren Jingzhi's life or death. At this moment, Lin Bei secretly entered the main palace, with a look of anxiety.
It turned out that when Lin Bei was changing his clothes, he accidentally found a piece of stationery in his shoe.
He recognized it as the handwriting of his master Ren Jingzhi at a glance. Without any delay, he hurried to report the matter to Yu Gongyu.
Yu Gongyu took the paper and slowly unfolded it. A short but shocking line of words came into his eyes: Be careful, there is a spy in the army.
