Chapter 56 Accident
After a while, a downline member hurried back.
"Master Xu, something happened. After we sent a greeting card to Kojiro's house, they said they would reply to us at a later date, and then sent us away."
"Oh? Then you came back like this? Are you doing things for the godfather like this?" Xu Heng frowned.
"No, no, no, Mr. Xu, please calm down. We also felt something was wrong, so we made a special inquiry, and found that Kojiro's house was almost completely emptied, with only a few servants left."
"What? Where did they go?" Xu Heng's expression suddenly changed. This didn't sound good.
“It is said that a full-scale battle is about to begin, and all the military generals from the DPRK and China have set off with the army. Emperor Heian and the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty were taken to a secret and safe place to hide. Kojiro’s family has also followed his father and has already gone into hiding.”
…”
Hearing this, Xu Heng glanced at Chu Hongyu calmly.
She also frowned slightly. Even she didn't know about this news, which meant that the spies in Tianlao camp didn't know about it either. Emperor Heian and those people had already planned it.
"Do your best to find out where they are hiding. This is the order of the elders of the sect. Before the full-scale battle begins, we need to communicate with the officials of Ping An Jing on some important matters." Xu Heng immediately ordered.
“Yes!” The offline member turned around and hurriedly retreated.
There are only four days left before the full-scale battle. It may not be that easy to find out the whereabouts of Emperor Heian and the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.
"These people are too stubborn. They actually thought that Ping An Jing was not safe and ran away early." Xu Heng looked at Chu Hongyu and said.
If you can't decapitate a few important targets, you can only rely on intelligence transmission until the end of the war. Although the score will be very high by then, you are still not so sure of winning the top spot in the season.
"Since they have a plan, it may not be easy to find them in a short time. If nothing can be done, we'd better return to the Scorpion Army before the all-out war begins." Chu Hongyu said solemnly.
It no longer matters whether Gouchenying's mission failed or not. Xu Heng has done enough. In addition, important officials in Ping An Jing are hiding. If they cannot be found in the past two days, it is not only meaningless to continue to stay in Ping An Jing. He would still be in danger, so it would be better to go back and participate in an all-out war with the Scorpion Army.
“I understand.” Xu Heng nodded.
If it doesn't work, just retreat, bring a lot of supplies and information back with you, and it's acceptable to get through the customs.
I don’t know whether I can win the first place in the provincial festival order, but I am sure I can win the first place in the festival in Darong City. I think I have not forgotten my original intention.
…
The next two days.
Xu Heng has been busy counting the supplies collected.
At Chu Hongyu's reminder, he replaced all Ping'an Jing banknotes with a large amount of rice and special ornaments containing solar terms.
After the all-out battle, if the Scorpion Army wins, the Heianjing banknotes will definitely lose their value, and there is no need to keep them.
If the Scorpio Army were defeated, they would not have the chance to bring the banknotes to Ping An and spend them.
At the same time, Xu Heng also continued to send more manpower and even offered high rewards to find out where Emperor Ping An and those civil servants were hiding.
However, after a few days, I found nothing.
Although some people said they saw the Kojiro family moving late at night, no one knew where they ended up moving.
“It seems we have no choice but to go back.”
Xu Heng was a little reluctant, but had no choice but to do so.
The all-out war is coming in two days, and he still has to transport a large amount of supplies back. If he doesn't leave now, he may not have the chance to leave later.
"You have done a good enough job, there is no need to be too harsh on yourself." Chu Hongyu comforted her, and her words were also sincere praise.
Even if it were any other spies, or even herself, they would not be able to achieve such results in just a few days.
Just the supplies collected by Xu Heng through the strength of the Destiny Sect stronghold were comparable to what the Scorpion Army would gain by capturing the next small city.
“But having said that, is there still no movement at the Tianlao Camp? Those members of the Tianming Sect who came to take over the stronghold here have not arrived in Ping An Jing yet?” Xu Heng asked.
“No, no one has entered Ping An Jing during this period.” Chu Hongyu shook her head and replied.
"This is a bit strange. There is no reason why they haven't arrived yet." Xu Heng was confused.
According to the information provided by the three people before, the new members should arrive within four days. It has been seven or eight days now, and there has been no movement at all.
Did he die on the way?
“Forget it, leave them alone, go and inform the people in Tianlao Camp that we will withdraw and leave tonight.” Xu Heng finally made a decision.
It should be withdrawn, at least returning to the Scorpio army camp, and can also participate in a comprehensive battle.
"good!"
That night, it was dark and windy. Xu Heng met dozens of spies from Tianlao camp for the first time, and the result was a big surprise.
The Snow Girl was actually among them.
The moment the two parties met, they were both dumbfounded.
"Are you the spy who went to Chenying? How did you become the heir of the elder in the church?"
"You are from Tianlao camp? So you are here to seduce me?"
The two of them asked at the same time, staring at each other.
"Who seduced you? Don't you have good concentration? I've hypnotized you several times, but apart from your unclean hands and feet, you didn't take the bait at all." Snow Girl looked like she had a completely different face, looking half-smiling but not smiling. Xu Hengdao.
"Oh, I've seen through you a long time ago. Plus, I've always been calm and true to my heart. How could I be easily fooled by you?" Xu Heng sneered, as if he had expected it.
"Really? Are you sure you didn't get hollowed out because you went to the hook bar, and you became powerless after you came back and was hypnotized by me?"
"Of course not, I'm famous for keeping myself clean. But your hypnosis is quite perverted. It makes my hands wet and I have to wash my hands every day. What do you think?"
"That's just a basin of water I put next to you, you just thought wrong."
"hehe."
"hehe…"
After a confrontation, the two broke up unhappy.
Yukionv felt that she had suffered a big loss. She originally thought that she could get important information by approaching a big fish, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually one of her own.
Although it is hypnosis, she still has to control the rhythm around her, and some places will inevitably be touched.
Xu Heng also felt that he had lost a lot of blood and was deeply saddened by the loss of a capable female subordinate.
“General Chu, have you known her identity for a long time?” Xu Heng looked at Chu Hongyu, who was silent throughout the whole process, and asked with a frown.
“I have only contacted one person from Tianlao Camp, and I don’t know the identities of the other spies.” Chu Hongyu shook her head.
"Okay, then I forgive you." Xu Heng nodded proudly and walked forward.
Chu Hongyu: “???”
Subsequently, taking advantage of the darkness, the group of people dispersed out of the city.
Xu Heng used his status as the godfather of the stronghold to get past the soldiers guarding the city gate in advance, and since they were dispersed, everything went smoothly.
Some supplies were also brought out in batches and carried back and forth several times.
In the end, no suspicion was aroused. Everyone successfully met outside the city and set off immediately.
This was also due to the fact that Emperor Heian and the civil servants were in hiding, and the military generals had already left seclusion, leaving only a few masters and above to guard Heian Jing. It was impossible for them to just keep an eye on the city gate all the time, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of them.
There was no talking all night, and everyone carried supplies and moved all the way to the Scorpion Army.
They also deliberately took some shortcuts on the way. After all, they carried so much supplies and had long nights and many dreams.
However, the less unexpected something happens, the more likely it is that it will happen.
As they were transporting a large amount of supplies and passing through a deserted plain, a large number of black shadows suddenly surrounded them not far away.
“Chi!”
With a muffled sound, a wisp of flame suddenly shot up, and then turned into tongues of fire, surrounding Xu Heng and the others, and instantly turned into a circle of flame, surrounding them all.
The bright flame also illuminated everyone’s faces clearly, including those dark shadows.
“Ping’an Army?”
One of the Tianlao Camp spies exclaimed in a low voice, revealing the identities of these people.
Xu Heng also saw how these people were dressed and their armor looked like the Scorpion Army, but there were still big differences.
Judging from the opponent's light armor and number of people, it is not difficult to judge that this should be a large, full force of vanguard scouts.
I and others have stabbed the scout's den!
But this may also mean that the Ping An Army’s camp is very likely to be nearby?
“Qiao Duo Madai!”
Xu Heng immediately shouted, raised his hands and walked out, shouting in standard Ping'an Beijing dialect: "Taijun, you are your own people, we are your own people."
