The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 170 The Secret Agent
"Woo..." Nangong Jin straightened the horse he was sitting on, and turned around. Shen Haoyue beside him was meditating. Seeing Nangong Jin suddenly stop, he also hastily reined in the horse's silk reins.

"Marshal, why don't you leave?" Shen Haoyue asked without knowing why.

Nangong Jin looked up, the sky was already dark, and the team that stretched for several miles could not be seen clearly, his eyes were fixed on the direction in the distance.

"Pass down the order of the commander-in-chief, the whole army will take a rest and set off tomorrow." Nangong Jin changed his original mind. He understood very well that no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't solve any problems. It must be miserable to walk such a long way in a day.

"The marshal has ordered that the whole army be rectified and eat on the spot!"

"The marshal has ordered that the whole army be rectified and eat on the spot..." The voice spread farther and farther, layer by layer throughout the entire army.

In the plain, countless tents were set up, and countless ball torches were lit, illuminating the entire camp as bright as day. There was a large pot on each fire, cooking delicious food, and sitting around Soldiers keep warm.

Nangong Jin and Shen Haoyue were in two separate tents, and their meals had already been prepared.

Shen Haoyu sat alone behind the tent, a roast chicken and several dishes of side dishes were placed on the table in front of him.

At this moment, he was holding a road map in his hand, and carefully examined it by the light of the oil lamp.At the end of the map is Linglong Mountain.

After looking at it in silence for a while, Shen Haoyue rolled up the map and gently put it aside, staring straight at the food in front of him, but for some reason, he had no appetite at all.

He sighed softly, and flicked the wick lightly with a wooden stick.

The light in the tent suddenly became brighter.

In the darkness, Shen Haoyue waited silently, waiting for the arrival of a person. When he was still in the imperial capital yesterday, he sent this person out to inquire about Linglong Mountain.

Of course, Nangong Jin didn't know anything about it, just like his subordinate Gu Yihan and Shen Haoyue didn't know anything about it.

After waiting for a long and boring time, Shen Haoyue couldn't help but see Ning Yan's face in his heart, as if smiling at him indifferently...

"Report!" A loud shout from outside the tent interrupted Shen Haoyue's meditation, and a sergeant came in from outside.

"Report to the deputy commander! The marshal is looking for you and asked you to go to his account."

Shen Haoyue was slightly taken aback when he heard this, wondering what Nangong Jin was going to do with him at this time, could it be that he wanted to study the plan to attack Linglong Mountain?

Before he had time to think about it, Shen Haoyue stood up after a sound of nail leaves, and walked out of the tent.

The night sky outside the tent is deep, the moon and stars are thin, and tomorrow will be fine weather. According to this marching speed, we can reach Linglong Mountain tomorrow afternoon. If everything goes well, the attack will start the day after tomorrow...

Nangong Jin's big tent was set up beside Shen Haoyue's big tent, and it was only a few steps away from the tent.

The piles of bonfires in the camp are very dazzling, the sound of firewood crackling and crackling is clear to the ears, and countless sparks are flying, which is also a sense of excitement. Shen Haoyue walked towards Nangong Jin's big tent while watching the surroundings Soldiers sitting and eating.

In the handsome tent, Nangong Jin seemed to have finished his dinner. There were some leftover chicken bones scattered on the table, and an oil lamp illuminated it, illuminating half of the tent.

Nangong Jin sat behind the table, holding a map in his hand, and seemed to be studying the marching route and the attack plan after reaching Linglong Mountain.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Shen Haoyue walked in from the outside, Nangong Jin raised his eyes slightly, and two cold lights threatened people.

"Marshal, you are looking for me." Shen Haoyue clasped his fists and said, who was used to calling the prince on weekdays changed his words suddenly but was not used to it.

Nangong Jin threw the blueprint aside, pointed to the chair next to her, and said softly, "Sit down."

Shen Haoyue was not polite, lifted up his battle armor, and sat aside, he wanted to see what Nangong Jin wanted him to do.

"According to our speed today, we can reach Linglong Mountain by marching for another day tomorrow. It will definitely be a big battle." Nangong Jin looked deeply at Shen Haoyue with the dim light of the oil lamp.

"Marshal, that's natural. I don't know the plan to attack Linglong Mountain. Have you already prepared?" Shen Haoyue asked.

Nangong Jin nodded, "Look how it looks like this. Linglong Mountain is surrounded by water, so we can call in some boats on the spot, and we can also build some from local materials. It's winter now, so Linglong Mountain must be The fog is shrouded, and with this condition, we can approach quietly." Nangong Jin said carefully, with far-reaching eyes, as if the upcoming battle was already in front of his eyes.

"After entering Linglong Mountain, the commander-in-chief thought that the troops could be divided into two groups. The commander-in-chief led [-] soldiers to attack from the main entrance, and you led [-] soldiers to outflank the mountain from the back. What do you think?" Nangong Jin told his whole plan. , asking Shen Haoyue's opinion, although the relationship between the two is delicate and they don't get along very well on weekdays, this war is different from child's play, and it must be safe.

Facing Nangong Jin's plan, Shen Haoyue didn't say much, but Nangong Jin's words aroused his other thoughts...

"Hehe..." Shen Haoyue smiled faintly.

"Marshal, there must be a lot of guards in front of the mountain, why don't you let me go and break it? There is no reason for the marshal to go out in person for such a dangerous matter..." Shen Haoyue guessed in his heart that Nangong Jin must be planning to attack the front mountain because of Jiang Nantian. Get some ideas.

Shen Haoyue's star eyes are as sharp as a goshawk, and Nangong Jin's every move has not escaped his eyes...

After hearing this, Nangong Jinwen raised her eyebrows slightly, and then sneered in the next second.

"Hmph, deputy commander, you can't trust me?"

Shen Haoyue smiled and shook his head, "No, Marshal is wrong, there is nothing I can't believe in you, it's just..."

"Just what?" Nangong Jin asked coldly, with a slight unhappiness in his face.

"It's easy to talk about the mountain on this mountain, but how will the bandit leader Jiangnantian deal with it? If you invade from the front mountain, you will definitely fight this person head-on. I don't know how the marshal will deal with it?"

This sentence hit Nangong Jin's vital point. Shen Haoyue seemed to be asking kindly, but in fact he was trying to test Nangong Jin. When he was in the imperial capital, he had already suspected that Nangong Jin had let Jiang Nantian go because of Ning Ningyan. Breaking in, do you want to create something?
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and the atmosphere seemed to have dropped to freezing point. Nangong Jin stared at Shen Haoyue, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Where did the deputy commander come from? Didn't the emperor already explain it clearly? To wipe out the Linglong Mountain people, and if no one is left, then Jiangnantian will naturally not be left alive."

Shen Haoyue's mind was spinning, he didn't know whether what Nangong Jin said was true or not...

"Why, the deputy commander also has thoughts about this Jiangnantian? If this person falls into your hands, what should you do?" Nangong Jin turned his lips back, testing Shen Haoyue's bottom line.

A trace of entanglement and intimacy surged into Shen Haoyue's heart again...

"If I capture Jiangnantian, I will definitely kill him, so why ask more questions!" Shen Haoyue turned his head to one side and said coldly.

Nangong Jin seemed to show a satisfied expression, he patted the table and said very well.Shen Haoyue's answer seemed to satisfy him very much...

The two people have their own concerns in their hearts, but there is a layer of window paper between them.

"It's getting late, the deputy commander-in-chief should go to rest." After Nangong Jin said everything that needed to be said, she issued an order to evict the guests, and picked up the map that she had just checked from the side.

Shen Haoyue lightly cupped his fists, got up and left the tent without saying a word.

On the way back to the army tent, Shen Haoyue also felt confused for a while, but he can be sure of one thing, there must be a reason why Nangong Jin asked to attack Qianshan.

Opening the tent, a gust of cold wind poured in from the outside along the gap, and the oil lamp in the house shook a few times and almost went out.

After sitting back at the table again, Shen Haoyue contemplated the lamp, the food in front of him was already half cold, and he didn't intend to eat it anymore.

Nangong Jin, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to release Jiang Nantian secretly?
Shen Haoyue pondered, and recalled what he said just now, if Jiang Nantian is captured, his life will be taken... Can he really do it?If he did this, would Ning Yanyan hate him?Will she leave him again?

Shen Haoyue's entanglement was beyond words. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wooden pillar behind him.

"Ningyan, teach me what to do, why are you the daughter of Jiang Nantian..."

The noise outside the tent became smaller and smaller, and the soldiers extinguished the bonfire one after another to rest. All they could hear were the uniform steps of the night watchmen, sonorous, forceful, majestic and majestic.

Suddenly, there was a startling wind, and Shen Haoyue's closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting a divine light. After waiting hard for almost midnight, the person who was waiting for finally came.

When the curtain was lifted, a guard in light armor walked in from the outside. He was agile and tall.

After quietly entering the account, this person knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Haoyue.

"General, my subordinates are late, and I hope to make amends."

Shen Haoyue stood up from behind the table, and gently walked in front of this person, "Feihu, you are finally back..."

It was late at night, and it was already dark in Nangong Jin's handsome tent, and he had already turned off the oil lamp.And in Shen Haoyue's big tent more than a dozen feet away, through the uncovered gap, one could still see dots of light radiating from it.

A man named Feihu stood in front of Shen Haoyue, respectful, his face seemed to be slightly tired, and his forehead was covered with a layer of faint dust, as if he had come from a long journey.

"Feihu, did you attract other people's attention when you came here?" Shen Haoyue asked in a low voice, cautiously.

Feihu shook his head, "Don't worry, general, I only came to meet the general at nightfall, and I have bypassed the sentry soldiers, so no one will notice.

"Very good." Shen Haoyue nodded, "You have worked hard on the journey, but if you get any news, please report it to me quickly."
