Chapter 29: Secret Sentinel's Message, Shocking Change in the Prison Camp
The Yuexi Shu army camp.
Dark as ink.
The sound of footsteps of night patrol soldiers.
Shatter the silence.
It was extremely jarring.
Outside the prison camp.
A shadowy figure whistled past.
It's still stuck in the corner of the wall.
Not moving.
His eyes were fixed on the guards at the camp gate.
Breathe as much as you can.
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Fingertips caressed the coded token at the waist.
His expression was sinister.
His resolute determination was evident in his words.
[The undercover agent is secretly plotting]: The whistle has been sounded.
A must-know for haute couture.
It will only take a short while.
Chaos broke out in the camp.
That would be the opportunity for a rescue.
Success or failure hinges on this moment.
We absolutely cannot afford to fail!
Inside the prison camp.
Gao Ding heard the whistle.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light.
The previous slump.
It vanished without a trace in an instant.
He moved slowly.
They approached the prison camp fence.
Intentionally making a slight noise.
According to the guards.
"Useless guard!"
"Grandpa is thirsty!"
"Quick, bring me some water!"
The sound wasn't loud.
But it carried a strong sense of provocation.
It drifted right into the ears of the two guards at the entrance.
The two guards looked at each other.
His face was full of impatience.
"A prisoner dares to be so arrogant!"
A guard shouted sternly.
In the end, he turned around and fetched water.
The other person stayed behind.
Place both hands on the knife handle.
He stared intently at the high-end custom-made items.
But he didn't notice the shadow behind him.
A dark shadow.
They've already crept in quietly.
The guard thought to himself: He's just a prisoner.
It was still chained.
They can't cause any big waves.
Keep a close eye on it.
Just don't let him take his own life.
Right now.
The shadowy figure suddenly attacked.
The short knife pierced the guard's back with precision.
It pierces straight to the vital point.
The guard grunted.
There wasn't even time to call for help.
He then collapsed to the ground.
The dark figure quickly moved forward.
Drag the body to the corner of the wall.
Hidden in the shadows.
Without leaving a trace.
He rushed to the fence.
He pulled out a small dagger.
The lock was pried open in just a few moments.
"Chief, let's go!"
The voice was kept extremely low.
Full of urgency.
A look of ecstasy crossed his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward.
He allowed the shadowy figure to untie the chains.
"Good job, brothers on the undercover!"
The high-end voice sounded strained.
He pressed for an answer.
"Is a backup plan ready?"
"When will Lord Sima Yi's reinforcements arrive?"
"The backup plan is ready."
The shadowy figure bowed and replied.
"At the leader's command..."
"This will disrupt the Shu army's camp!"
"The reinforcements have crossed the southern border of Sichuan."
"At the latest, by tomorrow afternoon."
"We must go to the outskirts of Yuexi City!"
[Hao Ding's heart is filled with excitement]: This is wonderful!
As long as we can stall until reinforcements arrive.
The execution of Li Hui and Ma Zhong is to be carried out.
Control the South Central Region.
We will not let down Lord Sima Yi!
"good!"
He nodded through gritted teeth.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"There's no time to lose."
"Come with me to the granary."
"A fire burned the grain and fodder."
"Cut off the Shu army's retreat!"
The two quietly slipped out of the prison camp.
Under the cover of night and shadows.
They made their way towards the granary deep within the camp.
Avoid being seen by the night patrol soldiers.
Light footsteps.
Like a ghost walking in the night.
at the same time.
Inside Li Hui's tent.
The candlelight flickered.
Li Hui looked at the map.
With a light tap of your fingertip, you can find the location of Yuexi City.
His expression was solemn.
His brows were furrowed.
[Li Hui's worries]: The hidden plot has been revealed.
The haute couture firm refused to confess.
Sima Yi's reinforcements are approaching.
Triple crises looming.
The mastermind behind the operation could not be found.
Something unexpected is bound to happen!
He rubbed his temples.
I was just about to send someone to the prison camp to check.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the tent.
"General! Something terrible has happened!"
One of the guards was covered in sweat.
They rushed in.
Kneel on one knee.
His voice trembled, filled with panic.
"Prison camp guards have been killed!"
"The haute couture has disappeared!"
Li Hui's expression changed drastically.
He suddenly stood up.
The feather fan in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"What?!"
After the initial shock.
He quickly calmed down.
He gave a stern order: "Issue the order to the entire army!"
"All troops on high alert!"
"Seal off all entrances and exits!"
"No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"General Ma led two thousand elite troops."
"Patrol the east side of the camp!"
"Chief Meng led his tribe's soldiers."
"Patrol the west side!"
"We must find the haute couture and the hidden details!"
"Be on high alert to prevent them from causing sabotage!"
"Yes, sir!"
The guards bowed and agreed.
He turned and swiftly relayed the order.
Li Hui walked out of the tent.
Gazing at the pitch-black night sky.
His expression grew increasingly solemn.
[Li Hui was secretly alarmed]: Gao Ding had indeed colluded with secret agents.
They escaped right under our noses.
They are bound to cause trouble.
Granaries and armories.
These are all their targets!
He immediately turned around.
They sped toward the granary.
That place was the lifeline of the Shu army.
We absolutely cannot afford to lose!
West side of the camp.
Meng Huo is leading his tribal soldiers on a patrol.
I heard the alarm.
He was instantly enraged.
fly into a rage.
"What a shrewd haute couture connoisseur!"
"How dare you escape!"
"Catch him."
"We'll skin him alive!"
Meng Huo roared in anger.
He raised his scimitar.
He gave a stern order: "Everyone!"
"Search thoroughly!"
"Dig three feet into the ground."
"We also need to find out about the haute couture and the hidden details!"
Meng Huo was indignant: Gao Ding should have been beheaded earlier.
To avoid any unforeseen complications.
He has now escaped.
This will surely become a major problem.
We must capture them today.
To relieve the hatred in my heart!
The tribal soldiers responded in unison.
Holding a weapon.
They dispersed.
Search every part of the camp carefully.
East side of the camp.
Ma Zhong has already led his elite cavalry out.
The sound of armor clashing.
It was exceptionally clear in the darkness of the night.
His brows were furrowed.
His expression was icy.
The spear in his hand turned white from gripping it so tightly.
Ma Zhong felt guilty: It was my negligence.
No additional troops were deployed to guard the prison camp.
That's how Gao Ding escaped.
If the grain supplies and armory are lost.
I am entirely to blame!
"Speed up!"
Ma Zhong gave the order sternly.
The mount galloped away.
"Focus your search on the areas surrounding the grain depot and armory!"
"We must not let haute couture succeed!"
at this time.
Haute couture and subtle details.
They have already quietly crept outside the granary.
Outside the granary.
There were only two guards.
His expression was relaxed.
I dozed off against the wall.
"Chief, I'll go take care of the guards."
The hidden line lowered its voice.
He slowly drew his short sword.
"Take this opportunity to set the granary on fire!"
Gao Ding nodded.
He took out a fire tumbler.
Blow on it gently to make it bright.
His eyes revealed a fierce ruthlessness.
[Gao Ding sneered inwardly]: Li Hui, Ma Zhong.
You have imprisoned me and are interrogating me.
Today I burned your provisions.
I'll make you fall into chaos without a fight.
Just wait for Lord Sima Yi's reinforcements to deal with you!
The undercover agent quietly circled behind the guard.
They acted swiftly.
He dispatched two guards with two slashes.
He made a gesture towards Gao Ding.
Gao Ding rushed into the grain warehouse.
Looking at the mountains of grain and fodder.
A smug smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
He raised his hand to throw the firecracker.
"Haute couture, stop!"
A furious shout rang out.
Li Hui held a long sword.
He rushed in.
He was followed by dozens of personal guards.
His expression was as cold as frost.
Gao Ding's expression changed drastically.
The tinderbox nearly slipped from his grasp.
He quickly turned around.
He shouted sharply at the hidden agents, "Stop them!"
The undercover agent stepped forward in response.
Holding a short knife.
They rushed straight at Li Hui.
The moves are ruthless.
Every move was aimed directly at the vital points.
Li Hui sidestepped to avoid it.
He swung his longsword.
Engaged in a struggle with hidden forces.
Swords flashing and shadows swirling.
Intertwined in an instant.
"Haute couture!"
Li Hui rebuked him sternly.
"You colluded with Sima Yi."
"Calamity descends upon the south."
"I still want to burn grain and fodder."
"That's an even greater offense!"
"Today is your death day!"
The longsword pressed forward relentlessly.
Gao Ding was in a state of panic.
But they still gritted their teeth and went ahead with it.
He raised the fire tumbler again.
They threw it at the grain and fodder.
Just as the fire tinder was about to touch the grain.
A long spear came hurtling through the air.
Precisely knock down the firecracker.
Sparks flew everywhere.
"Don't even think about it!"
Ma Zhong rode in on horseback.
The spear pointed directly at the high-end bespoke garment.
His expression was as cold as iron.
Meng Huo arrived shortly afterward.
He swung his scimitar.
Block the grain depot's exit.
His eyes burned with rage.
"Haute couture, where do you think you're going to run to!"
The high-end brand was besieged by three parties.
His face was deathly pale.
I am filled with despair.
Yet they still refused to surrender.
[Gao Ding's inner scream]: Impossible!
The reinforcements are almost here.
I can't die here.
Lord Sima Yi.
Send someone to rescue me quickly!
He bent down and picked up a wooden stick.
They charged toward Li Hui.
They're willing to fight to the death.
But he was already exhausted, both physically and mentally.
No one could possibly be a match for Li Hui.
But only one round.
He was then kicked to the ground by Li Hui.
The guards rushed forward.
Hold it down firmly.
The informant discovered that Gao Ding had been captured.
They knew the situation was hopeless.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
He swung the knife and slashed at his own neck.
"don't want!"
Li Hui sternly shouted to stop him.
But it was too late.
The undercover agent collapsed and died.
He was still clutching the communication token tightly in his hand.
Li Hui walked to the body.
Pick up the token.
His expression was solemn.
[Li Hui was startled to realize]: This token has a unique design.
It is by no means an ordinary hidden storyline.
Behind the scenes.
There must be a higher-level mastermind.
Haute couture.
I'm afraid he's just a pawn.
He turned to look at Gao Ding, who was being held down.
His tone was icy: "Haute couture."
"Things have come to this point."
"Still unwilling to reveal who the mastermind behind this is?"
"Your backup plan."
"What exactly is it?"
Gao Ding collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were unfocused.
But he still gritted his teeth.
Not a word.
[Hao Ding is certain in his heart]: Even if he doesn't say it.
Lord Sima Yi's reinforcements will also arrive.
At that time.
You will lose anyway.
Even if I die.
It can also drag you down with it!
Just then.
A scout rushed in.
Kneel on one knee.
His voice was urgent: "General, Chief! Something terrible has happened!"
"General Dong Jue sent a message."
"Sima Yi's second reinforcement."
"Break through the southern Sichuan border defense line."
"They are closing in on Yuexi City!"
"Expected tomorrow morning."
"Then we can reach the city walls!"
The three of them changed their expressions at the same time.
Dong Jue's five thousand elite troops.
They failed to stop the reinforcements?
Li Hui frowned even more deeply.
Full of doubts.
[Li Hui thought to himself]: Dong Jue has been on the battlefield for a long time.
They also have a considerable number of troops.
Why couldn't they stop Sima Yi's reinforcements?
Could it be the southern border of Sichuan?
Are there other covert connections?
Ma Zhong gripped his spear tightly.
His tone was impatient: "General Li."
"Things have come to this point."
"We have no choice but to split into two groups!"
"Stay at the camp the whole way."
"Protect the food supplies and weapons."
"We drove out of the city."
"Intercept reinforcements!"
Meng Huo quickly chimed in, "That's right!"
"I am willing to lead the tribal soldiers."
"Intercept them outside the city."
"Fight with all our might."
"We won't let them set foot in Yuexi City even a single step!"
Li Hui remained silent for a moment.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
"Alright! We'll do as you two suggest!"
"General Ma."
"You will lead three thousand elite troops to guard the camp."
"Strengthen the defense of granaries and armories."
"Be vigilant against other covert operations causing trouble."
"I'm optimistic about haute couture."
"Don't let him escape again!"
"Chief Meng."
"You lead five thousand tribal soldiers."
"Come with me out of the city."
"Set up an ambush at Shilipo, ten miles outside Yuexi City."
"Intercept Sima Yi's reinforcements!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ma Zhong and Meng Huo responded in unison.
The three were preparing to deploy their forces.
A strange horn sound suddenly came from outside the camp.
Low and rapid.
It was particularly jarring in the darkness of the night.
Li Hui's expression changed drastically: "This is bad!"
"This is the signal horn for covert communication!"
"There are other informants within the camp!"
"They're about to make their move!"
The voice just fell.
Shouts of battle and explosions echoed throughout the camp.
Flames shot into the sky.
Smoke billows.
The haute couture was pinned to the ground.
I heard a sound.
A strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
[The haute couture designer's inner smugness]: Here it comes!
My backup plan has finally been implemented!
Chaos erupted within the camp.
Reinforcements are approaching.
You are doomed!
Li Hui gazed at the firelight outside the camp.
His expression was extremely solemn.
He never expected this.
The follow-up move of haute couture.
They had planted so many spies within the camp.
Taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Chaos erupted within the camp.
Reinforcements are approaching.
The mastermind behind the operation remains hidden.
Nobody knows where he is.
He was keeping a close eye on the chaotic battle.
A barely perceptible sneer lingered at the corner of his mouth.
Li Hui gazed at the towering flames.
My fingertips were clenched so tightly they turned white.
He knew.
We must not panic at this moment.
If internal strife cannot be stabilized.
They were then attacked from both sides by reinforcements.
That would mean utter ruin.
He turned around abruptly.
He gave Meng Huo a stern order.
His tone was full of unquestionable urgency.
Meng Huo gripped his curved sword tightly.
His expression was solemn.
He knew that setting up an ambush outside the city was dangerous.
They also knew the consequences of reinforcements entering the city.
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept the order.
He turned around and went to assemble the soldiers.
Nobody noticed.
At the end of the line.
A dark figure quietly slipped away.
They slipped deeper into the camp.
Ma Zhong immediately led his men to quell the rebellion.
When passing by the prison camp.
He specifically instructed the guards to double their vigilance over the high-end items.
High-end custom items that can be held down.
Suddenly, he raised his head.
He gave Ma Zhong a strange smile.
He murmured to himself.
The voice was as soft as a ghost.
No one heard clearly.
The border direction of southern Sichuan.
Dong Jue's distress signal suddenly stopped.
There has been no further news.
Nobody knows what happened there.
All I know is that...
Sima Yi's reinforcements.
They were walking in the night.
They sped towards Chaoyue City.
An even bigger crisis.
It has been brewing quietly in the shadows.
