Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 580: Madam, you can’t take risks

"Heizi, Heizi! You keep an eye on it for me, I'll go and take a moment."

A skinny guard pulled his companion next to him and whispered.

Heizi glanced at him and said disgustedly, "As soon as the general leaves, you will do these things. I think you want to be lazy!"

The skinny man looked innocent, "Oh, no, I can't hold it in anymore. I wanted to go just now, but how dare I do it when the general is here!"

Heizi: "You have stomach upset every now and then. Your stomach is made of paper. You are so delicate."

"It's not that when I was a kid, my family was poor and we didn't have much to eat. I ate everything just to keep my belly warm. Now I've become squeamish." He scratched his head in embarrassment. "When the war is over and I get paid, I'll have to find a doctor to treat me well." Look."

Heizi smiled, "I don't know when this battle will end, but you think far ahead."

"Oh no! It's about to be pulled out, I have to go first!"

He held his stomach while running towards the back of the boulder with small steps.

The nearby guard quickly covered his nose and moved away, as if he really smelled the stench.

The thin man squatted on the ground, quietly sticking his head out to observe the reaction of the people in front of him. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he reached out and groped carefully on the stone.

When Nan Zhen saw this, she quietly hid behind the tree trunk.

After a moment, he opened a small piece of loose gravel with his fingertips, revealing the specially dug tunnel inside. He took out a roll of yellow paper as long as his thumb, held it in the palm of his hand, and moved down the slope little by little.

A wind came from the east and gathered the dark clouds, covering up a layer of moonlight, leaving only the hazy light shining on the mountains.

Nan Zhen's pupils narrowed and she followed him with the help of the weak light.

The skinny man knew the distribution of defenses well, knew where and when to evade the guards, and reached the bottom of the mountain smoothly.

He held his breath and concentrated, and waited until he was out of sight of the guards on the top of the mountain before peeling away from the jungle, slowly stood up, and walked forward while observing his surroundings.

Nan Zhen also stood up.

The clothes were stained with rotten leaves and slush.

She stretched out her hand and gently twisted the dark green grass stems under her skirt——

It's definitely sticky grass.

Nan Zhen squinted her eyes and looked at the looming figure in front of her.

If this road is correct, it should lead to the enemy camp.

She looked back at the way she came and walked forward firmly.

The skinny strips followed the thin stream of water at the bottom of the mountain, and the shoes creaked on the gravel.

After turning along the mountain and walking for about half an hour, he finally stopped.

Deep in the forest, vines covered the entrance of a cave. From Nan Zhen's position, all he could see was darkness at the entrance.

There were two Liang soldiers standing on both sides of the cave. Their bodies were tied with dark green vines, and their faces were painted with corresponding paint. They blended in with the mountains and forests, and you couldn't tell them apart unless you looked carefully.

Nan Zhen estimated the distance from here to the camp and looked tense.

If Liang soldiers secretly attack from here, they can reach the garrison in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, the mountains here are undulating and the horses cannot walk, so the infantry can only go first. It is not easy for Liang Jun to transport the large troops here.

What's more, a large-scale mobilization of the army will definitely attract attention, so there must not be too many Liang soldiers here, but they just don't know what is hidden in the cave.

Seeing that the thin man had gone in after interrogation and interrogation, Nan Zhen didn't want to wait here.

It's just that she doesn't know any other entrance, and her appearance at this time will definitely alert the guards.

Nan Zhen thought for a moment and prepared to lure away the guards at the entrance of the cave. But as soon as she moved, she felt someone behind her, so she raised her hand and struck back quickly, and her forearm was blocked by the opponent. Then, the person behind her said, "Empress."

The voice was kept low.

Nan Zhen paused for a moment, "Why is it you?"

Jin Lin looked through the leaves and saw that the guards at the entrance of the cave were not responding, and then said, "I was ordered to monitor Wang Chengmian, and I followed him up the mountain tonight."

"Then why are you here? Who went back to the camp with him?"

Jin Lin replied, "It's from General Zong. His subordinates asked him to continue to stare at Wang Chengmian, and then he squatted here and found something strange."

It's just that he and Nan Zhen chose two completely different positions, far apart from each other, so they didn't know that there was anyone else besides themselves.

If Nan Zhen hadn't made any move, he wouldn't have noticed it.

"So, His Majesty also knows about this? Is Sun Yong a mole?"

Jin Lin: "The arrest of Deputy General Sun was just a cover, the purpose was to fish out the real mole. Now it seems clear."

Nan Zhen thought about it and chuckled, "No wonder."

She felt something was wrong when she heard evidence such as a letter between pillows. How could someone who was really capable of being a spy choose such a clumsy method?
"Did the empress just want to distract the guards?" Jin Lin asked.

Nan Zhen nodded, "I've seen it, there are still people around here, we can't hide here forever."

Even if it is not discovered, people will not be able to bear it for a long time.

The most important thing is to find out what is in the cave, and then go back and report it as soon as possible.

Jinlin agreed, "Madam, please stay here. How about you return along the original route and inform His Majesty of the situation here?"

Both of them had passed the road just now, so there wouldn't be much danger in going back, and those who stayed here would be more likely to be discovered.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhen shook her head, "Look, the mountain behind the entrance of this cave is huge. The interior must be dug very deep and intricately. That person may not be able to come out of the entrance of the cave and cannot squat down."

"What's more, someone needs to find out what's inside before they can bring the large army over, otherwise they will be dragged into the trap."

Jinlin: "I understand."

He asked Nan Zhen to leave first because he wanted to go in alone to find out the truth and ensure her safety.

If something happened to Nan Zhen, he couldn't bear it.

Nan Zhen obviously understood his concerns and had her own considerations, "You help me lure away the guards at the entrance of the cave and the people around me. I'll go."

"No."

Jinlin refused without thinking, "My dear, you can't take risks."

Once an accident occurs, the people in the cave will have no time to react.

Even caves that have been entered may present new dangers, let alone unexplored enemy caves.

Nan Zhen stared at him without moving, "You may not be as good as me when it comes to wandering through the mountains and forests."

"My subordinates know, but..."

Nan Zhen: "This is an order."

Jinlin didn't know how to refute for a moment. He was about to speak again, but was stopped by Nan Zhen, "Don't waste time. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us."

She pointed in a direction and said, "Go."

"My lady..."

Nan Zhen planned his words, "Jin Lin, as His Majesty's personal guard, you should have a clear mind at all times. If an uncontrollable situation occurs, you should leave as soon as possible, return to the camp quickly, and report everything here. Once informed, do you understand?”
