Lord Hou, you have been flopped again

Chapter 61

Now that the general believed it, Chen Geng had no reason not to believe it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

As for why His Highness the Crown Prince knew there was a secret operation in the army, and why he sent such an unknown soldier to deliver the letter, Chen Geng dared not ask further.

Gong Zexuan said to Chen Geng: "You came back just in time. The most important thing right now is to find out the secret agent in the army. Qin Qi said that the secret agent is a military officer whose surname is Zhao and who holds an important position."

"Officers surnamed Zhao?" Chen Geng said distressedly, "there are no less than ten officers surnamed Zhao in the army. How to find them."

Gong Zexuan frowned, looked at Qin Yu, and asked, "Do you have any other information, His Royal Highness?"

Qin Yu was also thinking about the things in his previous life carefully, but he still shook his head helplessly, "It's true that there are no more."

In the previous life, Di Yan's shadow army had indeed obtained the fine work of the northern border army.Although she is a crown princess, she is only a female relative after all, and cannot participate in military and political affairs, and that is all she overheard.

"It's okay. Now that we know this, we have taken precautions." Miyazawa Xuandao, "Chen Geng, you send someone to secretly monitor those officers surnamed Zhao, and report immediately if there is any movement. In addition, the recent military affairs will be arranged by you and me. Everyone else must keep it secret in advance. As for Mr. Zhao, "

Gong Zexuan paused, and said, "He is already old, I can find a reason for him to rest in the city, and then investigate secretly."

Just as he was talking, there were hurried footsteps approaching.

"General, it's not good!" The soldier standing at the door hurriedly said, "Zong Bing Zhao fell ill!"

Gong Zexuan stood up and asked, "How did Zongbing Zhao fall ill?"

The soldier replied: "Not long after Zongbing Zhao returned to the mansion, his servants came to report that Mr. Zongbing was vomiting and diarrhea at home, and he could no longer get out of bed."

Vomiting and diarrhea?

Qin Yu pursed his lips tightly.Isn't it the same symptom as the sick soldiers in the army?
Gong Zexuan was also aware of this problem, and said: "Let the doctor go over and take a look, and prescribe the right medicine in time. I will also visit Zhao Zongbing later."

Zongbing Zhao has always followed the old general Gong, and has a deep friendship with the Gong family. He is also an old courtier in the northern army, and he has been loyal all these years.If His Royal Highness hadn't pointed out that he was an officer with the surname of Zhao, Gong Zexuan would not have been willing to doubt Zongbing Zhao.

Right now, Zongbing Zhao suddenly fell ill again, with the same symptoms as those soldiers, Gong Zexuan couldn't figure out for a moment whether Zongbing Zhao was murdered by others, or he staged a trick to clear himself of the suspicion.

Before there was any evidence, Gong Zexuan did not dare to jump to conclusions, so as not to hurt the hearts of the old courtiers and shake the morale of the army.

After confessing a few words to Chen Geng, the two men left the room.

Qin Yu sat down, resting his chin in thought.

She was also thinking that this time Gong Zexuan was rescued and came back unscathed, the secret agent must be flustered, thinking that her identity had been exposed.

Zong Bing Zhao fell ill at this time, was he murdered by others and wanted to get rid of Gong Zexuan's right-hand man, or did he use a trick to escape?It's really hard to tell.

At this time, should she brake quietly, or take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy to take the bait?

Two days later, before they could find any clues about the spy, the army of the Xin Kingdom, which had been stationed outside the border of the Yan Kingdom, suddenly launched an attack.

Gong Zexuan and Chen Geng led the troops out of the city to fight, while Qin Yu was left in the city.

Gong Zexuan didn't arrange for anyone to guard her, besides not being able to leave the city, Qin Yu is still free here and can move around.She also wanted to take a closer look at the situation in the city, maybe she could find some clues.

But when Qin Yu reached the foot of the city wall where there was no one there, suddenly a few soldiers rushed out, grabbed her, tied her up tightly, and dragged her to the wasteland outside the west gate.
