Chapter 322 I'll leave this person to you
Things took a turn so quickly that Zhao Chongxu didn't even see how Jiang Yue made her move before the leading spy was already pinned down by her.
At this moment, Lin Guo, Mu Heng and the four guards had also stopped.
The leading spy was unable to move, with a pair of angry eyes on his pale face.
The winner had not been decided just now, but how come only three people came and they died one after another, and in an instant he was the only one left.
When he looked at Jiang Yue again at this moment, the gratitude he had before was gone. He wanted to tear her to pieces alive.
With hatred in his eyes, he suddenly retreated and wanted to escape on horseback, but as soon as he moved, Jiang Yue's long sword moved forward one step further.
He couldn't escape, but suddenly, his body tensed up.
It was Zhao Chongxu. A rope suddenly appeared and tied up his upper body.
Zhao Chongxu pulled him hard, and with a bang, his entire body was forced to fall off the horse's back.
Zhao Chongxu then quickly dismounted, approached the only remaining enemy spy, and searched him all over, finding a map.
After unfolding it and taking a closer look, I was overjoyed.
"Yes, that's it."
Then, he pointed his sword at the leading spy and asked, "Who is the spy you have planted in my Donglin capital?"
The spy turned his head away without saying anything, with an angry look on his face.
"Kill me if you want to, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Jiang Yue listened to the young voice and checked carefully. They originally thought that the old night watchman was just a disguise. He was no more than thirty years old.
Seeing that the spy wanted to commit suicide, she quickly reached out with one hand and cut off the man's jaw.
At this moment, she let the spy's resentful gaze projected at her like a sharp blade.
When Lin Guo and the other two saw this scene, they recognized the old night watchman.
I also thought that he must have been trying to find an opportunity last night.
Zhao Chongxu stood opposite Jiang Yue. He was still angry, but considering that Jiang Yue had captured him alive, his stern face finally relaxed.
"Donglin's deputy general almost let Beiyan's spy go!"
Although Jiang Wuni did not participate in it, she could see that Xiaoliu reacted quickly enough.
Because of Zhao Chongxu's cold attitude, she stood silently beside Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue gave the fifth sister a comforting look, clasped her fists towards Zhao Chongxu and said:
"Feel sorry."
Zhao Chongxu thought of Jiang Yue's self-introduction name just now: "You said, your name is Jiang Yue?"
Jiang Yue: "I will not change my name, nor my surname."
"But I remember that you are just a deputy general." He thought that Jiang Yue was trying to intimidate him with the reputation of a deputy general.
In fact, he was overthinking. Jiang Yue didn't have such thoughts. She just regarded the man in front of her as a spy from Beiyan.
She thought to herself, how did this person know her former identity as a lieutenant general?
Lin Guo and Mu Heng stepped forward, wanting to help explain, and saw Jiang Yue take out her deputy general token.
"I was personally conferred the title by General Ling, and here is the deputy general's token." This was the first time she was so flamboyant, and she felt a little stuck in a dilemma.
She was wondering who the other person was.
Jiang Wuni thought secretly that in the entire Chuanshui County, there might not be a commander as outstanding as her Xiaoliu.
Through Xiaoliu, she truly confirmed that girls can be stronger than men.
Zhao Chongxu took a close look at Jiang Yue's deputy general token. This could not be fake.
"Jiang Yue, I've heard of your name before."
After saying this, he raised his lips and smiled slightly, and his whole body became less serious and upright.
Jiang Yue raised her eyes: "Where have you heard of this?"
She had no impression of the man in front of her.
Zhao Chongxu said nothing, but turned to look at Xie Yuanzhi who was riding a horse closer, and his expression became cold again.
When Xie Yuanzhi and a team of officials arrived, what they saw were dead bodies on the ground and the "officer" who was tied up tightly.
"Jiang Yue, what's going on?"
How could he kill his officers?
His face twitched, and he didn't wait for Jiang Yue to explain, but when he saw the appearance of these officials clearly, he suddenly understood.
"How dare these spies impersonate officials!"
Seeing Jiang Yue nod, Xie Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and felt relieved.
Suddenly I heard a rebuke.
"You are the Qingyun Assassin? You have such great authority!" Zhao Chongxu's face was serious and he looked displeased.
Even he dared to stop him.
"How dare you be so unreasonable!" the officer beside him shouted angrily.
The guards behind Zhao Chongxu all looked back with displeasure, causing the officer to retreat timidly.
The momentum was so strong that it crushed him into the dust.
Jiang Yue guessed the origin of the person. It was the first time she had seen such an important figure.
Jiang Wuni and Lin Guomuheng thought at the same time that they were lucky they didn't offend this big shot.
Xie Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly fixed his eyes on Zhao Chongxu and examined him carefully.
"You..." He looked left and right, but he didn't recognize him.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yue, who also shook her head, saying that of course she didn't know this big shot either.
Jiang Yue's previous lack of recognition has now shifted to Zhao Chongxu.
Local officials had neither the qualifications nor the time to attend court, so naturally they did not know him.
Zhao Chongxu waved his sleeves.
"As an official appointed by the imperial court, it will be easy for this king to find you."
He had gone to Xie's house last night, but didn't find anyone there and was almost caught as a spy.
Everyone: "..."
Xie Yuanzhi took one look at the golden token hanging around Zhao Chongxu's waist and suddenly realized his dereliction of duty.
Although he didn't know Zhao Chongxu, he had roughly determined his identity in his heart, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"It was my fault for not recognizing the prince the first time."
"Of course you are wrong." Zhao Chongxu was still upset about not being able to find Xie Yuanzhi last night.
Xie Yuanzhi caused him to take many detours and almost lost the Northern Yan spy.
He ignored Xie Yuanzhi and asked Jiang Yue:
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Yue replied, "I am following the order of General Ling to go to the palace to meet His Majesty and report the military situation at the border."
Zhao Chongxu: "What's the military situation at the border?"
Jiang Yue said: "Liangzhou was recovered."
Zhao Chongxu: "My brother knew this news several months ago."
Jiang Yue: "The Donglin soldiers defeated the enemy army."
"When Lord Li returned to the court, didn't he say that Beiyan and Xining would join forces to attack Donglin? When will you defeat the enemy?" Zhao Chongxu could hardly imagine the difficulty involved.
Jiang Yue said truthfully: "Xining was used by our army to launch a counterattack against the enemy army of Northern Yan. Now, the Northern Yan army has been completely defeated and has completely withdrawn from the border of Liangzhou."
"Great!" Zhao Chongxu was happy, but thought to himself that he was still a step too late.
Not to mention him, Xie Yuanzhi, who was despised by him, was also excited when he heard what Jiang Yue said.
Originally, he already knew that Liangzhou on the border had been recaptured, but he didn't know about the next round of war at the border.
Zhao Chongxu asked Jiang Yue again: "Are we going to the capital?"
Jiang Yue: “Yes.”
"Okay, I'll leave this person to you. Remember, when you arrive in the capital, the first thing you should do is to meet His Majesty and report to him that the topographic map has been found."
