In the hall, the general of the Ling Army who had abandoned Meng Langji was still kneeling below, looking embarrassed.
The Spirit King waved his hand impatiently.
If the general was granted amnesty, he quickly saluted and retreated.
After he left, Huang Zu came out and said: "We did not expect the Qin army to attack Menglangji in a flash. Once this place is lost, our tactical plan will be greatly restricted. I am afraid we will have to defend passively in the future."
Every time they fought, the initiative on the battlefield seemed to be in the hands of the Qin army. This made King Ling more and more irritated. He couldn't help but said: "Where are our infantry, where are our cavalry, how many people are stationed where, why is the Qin army Always know about these military deployments!”
"This..." Huang Zu paused.
Cheng Ping said: "The King of Qin and Su Yi are not gods. Even if Su Yi knows how to use troops again, it is impossible to hit the vital points every time. We can only say that the military information has been leaked."
"When discussing the military affairs, they are all high-ranking generals, so there can be no detail mixed in." King Ling said.
Cheng Ping said: "But there is also a ceremony camp, which is His Majesty's eyes and ears. Not only do they know the military situation, but they can also travel anywhere in the army at will."
"What?" The Spirit King was shocked and said in disbelief: "This, how is this possible? The Si Li Camp is so special, and all the staff are carefully selected, so there is something about collaborating with the enemy!"
"At the moment, there is only one explanation." Cheng Ping said calmly: "Has your Majesty forgotten that Murong Hongye once formulated the Yellow Crane Plan to infiltrate the Qin military aircraft camp and conduct detailed operations? On the contrary, the other party did not do this."
Hearing this, the Spirit King couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face became uncertain.
That morning, Ruizhou Mansion, study.
Murong Hongye came in a hurry. Outside the study, she first looked at the guards on both sides, then straightened her clothes and stepped inside.
"Your Majesty, Murong Hongye, please see me."
In the study, King Ling was looking at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back. He did not let Murong Hongye get up, nor did he look back at him. He seemed to be minding his own business and said: "Back then, when Wei Chang died, I recommended you to be the Secretary of Liying. Commander, your talent is enough to clear all obstacles for me, I have no doubt about it."
Wei Chang was the previous commander of the Si Li Camp, and he could also be said to be Murong Hongye’s master.
Now hearing that King Ling mentioned this, it was obvious that he had a motive. Murong Hongye was thinking a lot and said cautiously: "Recommended by my mentor, I have received your majesty's favor. I will not dare to forget it until my death. Even if my body is broken into pieces, I should serve the country and share your majesty's worries. "
"That's good." King Ling finally turned around and looked at him, and said neither lightly nor seriously: "You have indeed made many achievements since you took office. A few years ago, you proposed to me the implementation of the Yellow Crane Plan. I spared no effort to support it. You are particularly important, but in the end, what happened to the plan? A lot of manpower and financial resources were spent, but it was uprooted."
"This..." Murong Hongye swallowed, "This, this is indeed a minor minister's failure in doing things, but it's also the Qin thieves who are cunning."
"Cunning?" The Spirit King sneered, "I don't blame you for the failure of the infiltration, but the Sili Camp is such an important institution, and it must not allow the enemy to do anything against it!"
"Why did your Majesty say this?" Murong Hongye panicked.
King Ling said slightly angrily: "Military information has been leaked several times, and it's time for your Si Li camp to investigate on your own! Like Meng Langji, how did the Qin army know about our army's deployment! If this matter is not investigated clearly, you, the commander of the Si Li camp, will also It’s over!”
"Yes, yes, your majesty, please rest assured. I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days." Murong Hongye quickly touched his forehead to the ground.
"Go down!" The Spirit King waved his hand.
"Yes, I will take my leave." Murong Hongye saluted respectfully, sweat already appearing on his forehead.
After he left, Cheng Ping came out and said, "Murong Hongye still has some abilities. I believe Qin Guo Xizuo will not be able to lurk for long. But now, I am a little worried about General Liu Hong."
King Ling shook his head slightly: "The King of Qin has already pressed forward with his army. According to the plan, Liu Hong should have launched an attack in Caizhou. But until now, there has been no news. I'm afraid it's dangerous..."
Speaking of Murong Hongye, after leaving here, his face became even more gloomy. He, who was already sinister, looked even more terrifying.
Walking all the way to the temporary official residence of Si Liying, he immediately summoned a few close men and arranged a series of tasks for them.
At the same time, he stopped the leader responsible for monitoring Chen Jing and asked in a cold voice: "Is there anything unusual about Chen Jing these days?"
"My lord, Ji Zhi and Chen Jing have been together when they were acting, and we haven't noticed any unusual behavior." The leader said matter-of-factly.
"Well..." Murong Hong waved her hand: "You can go down too."
The task he assigned this time was very simple, which was to use Meng Langji as the source.
Although the Si Li Camp was special, they were not eligible to participate in the Ling Army's military discussions and military plans. If Xi Zuo wanted to find out his own deployment, he could only visit each camp and inquire everywhere. If so, there must be traces.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, news came back that Han Feng, a small flag official, had left his post without permission a few days ago and disappeared, and even went to Menglangji.
This was already an obvious clue. Without any hesitation, Murong Hongye immediately ordered Han Feng to be escorted. At the same time, he ordered a team of people to search Han Feng's residence.
Half an hour later.
"What are you doing! What do you mean!?"
On the way to being escorted, Han Feng kept shouting.
It wasn't until he saw Murong Hongye that he stopped struggling and said quickly: "Sir, I am sorting out information in my humble position, but these guys are so rude and delay the business. You must make the decision for me..."
"Okay." Murong Hongye interrupted him and said coldly: "Han Feng, at this point, I advise you to recruit him truthfully to avoid physical pain."
"This, this, I don't know what you mean by this humble position." Han Feng's face was full of injustice.
"How dare you speak harshly!" Murong Hongye's face became more and more gloomy: "I want to ask you! Why did you leave your post without permission a few days ago and disappeared for four whole hours? Then why did you appear in Menglangji!"
"This." Han Feng's expression changed and he stammered: "Being humble does not mean leaving one's post without permission. It means being drunk and overslept. Going to Menglangji is... also to collect the Qin army. Information, I want to share your worries for you."
"With such sophistry, you are deceiving me as ignorant!" Murong Hongye was furious: "Menglangji is an important place for our army. Why have I ever let you go there?"
Han Feng's Adam's apple slipped and he swallowed. He was about to continue his defense, but there was an emergency call from outside.
"Report~~~~"
Following the words, a member of the ceremony camp quickly ran in, stepped in and saluted, and said, "Sir, this was found at Han Feng's home."
As he spoke, he also respectfully presented a finger of feathers.
Someone took it and handed it to Murong Hongye.
The latter picked it up, looked at it for a moment, and sneered: "Falcon Feather, Han Feng, are you from the Qin Military Aircraft Battalion?"
