Chapter 448 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 24
As she spoke, Liang Xiaorong turned to Yu Muhuai and told her not to stop her.

"Young man, let go! I'll beat this beast so badly his own parents won't recognize him, or I'm not a Liang!"

Before Liang Xiaorong's fist could even land, Hu Liang began to wail, "Ouch! Help!"

Yao Zhan grabbed Liang Xiaorong and dragged him off Hu Liang to prevent him from hurting him further.

"General Liang, this man cannot be killed; he will still be useful."

Liang Xiaorong was so angry that he was panting heavily.

Before he could continue cursing, he heard Yu Muhuai's voice.

Looking down at Hu Liang, who lay on the ground like a lump of mud, Yu Muhuai spoke in an inscrutable tone.

"I'm giving you a way out now, so you can atone for your crimes through good deeds. Do you accept?"

Overjoyed to have his life saved, Hu Liang almost called Yu Muhuai "Dad."

"Grandpa, please say whatever you want, as long as you can save my life, I will do anything."

Even someone as slow-witted as Liang Xiaorong roughly understood what Yu Muhuai was planning to do.

She probably wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and expose all the spies behind it.

But Liang Xiaorong couldn't help but spit out, "Pah, this is just a dog."

"Wang Wang Wang."

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched. She looked at the treacherous spy in front of her who had no integrity whatsoever, and a flash of murderous intent crossed her eyes.

The military training was in full swing.

On the morning of the eighth day of practicing the Mandarin Duck Formation, Liang Xiaorong and Yao Zhan summoned their respective senior generals to discuss their next move.

Finally, everyone decided that they would launch a surprise attack on the enemy's shore stronghold two days from now, that is, the day after tomorrow morning.

They also discussed the action plan and the assignments of the various generals.

This was the first joint operation since Xiuwu's army arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture, and Yao Zhan and Liang Xiaorong attached great importance to it.

The meeting lasted for half a day. At the end, the two supreme commanders ordered all generals to keep it a secret, and not even to reveal the time of the operation.

The details of the operation can only be announced to the soldiers just before departure.

We must annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

All the generals accepted the order and then withdrew.

That evening, a man emerged from the tent of a high-ranking general.

He bypassed the patrolmen and arrived at the kitchen with great familiarity.

He first took the hay from the kitchen and tied three knots on the flag outside the kitchen.

Then he lifted a whetstone and pressed the note he had taken out of his pocket under it.

The next morning, whenever Hu Liang saw the three knots next to the kitchen, he would come to the whetstone to look for the note.

Then Hu Liang would find a way to send the secrets out.

Just as he finished doing all this and was about to turn and leave, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a blackout and loss of consciousness.

He was awakened by the pain.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a small grove of trees outside the military camp.

Looking at the people in front of him, he knew he was finished.

This time, Liang Xiaorong showed no mercy.

Soldiers are good at fighting on the battlefield, but not good at interrogating prisoners. So Yu Muhuai would remind him from time to time to be gentle with his hands, so as to avoid the other party dying before he could get all the questions out.

As a deputy general, his ability to withstand attacks was much stronger than that of a lowly soldier like Hu Liang.

But no matter how resilient he is, deep down he's still a treacherous spy without any integrity.

This interrogation yielded many unexpected results. Besides him and Hu Liang, there was another cook in the army who was also a spy.

When necessary, the cook would poison the Liang family army, rendering them incapable of fighting.

However, the consequences would be quite serious, and the investigation would definitely reach the military camp's kitchen, thus implicating family members.

So unless there are special circumstances, they will not use this tactic.

When Liang Xiaorong heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He found it utterly unbelievable that the spies of the Ghost Bandits had infiltrated so many departments within his military camp.

"Miao Zhilang! I've treated you well. Two years ago, when we went to fight the enemy, if I hadn't saved you, would you still be alive to become a spy?"

You beast, worse than a pig or a dog! You heartless bastard!

Ignoring Liang Xiaorong's angry roar, Yu Muhuai gleaned some insights from Miao Zhilang's confession.

"If they were spies of the Ghost Bandits, they wouldn't care about the lives of the Liang family soldiers; they would have already instructed the cooks to poison them."

Even if the truth comes out, the cook can simply take his family and become pirates; once they escape, the problem is solved.

Something's not right here. Is that cook really one of the Ghost Bandits?

Upon hearing this question, Miao Zhilang shut his mouth, his eyes darting around.

Yu Muhuai took two steps forward, walked up to Miao Zhilang, and held a tinderbox to illuminate the other man's face, making his expression impossible to hide.

In the firelight, the shadows on Yu Muhuai's face were heavy, making her expression even more sinister and terrifying.

Miao Zhilang stared intently at the other person's face. For a moment, he seemed to see sharp fangs in the other person's mouth, gleaming with a cold, sinister light.

Miao Zhilang couldn't help but shudder, blinked hard a few times, and then looked over again.

He was certain that what he had just experienced was a hallucination.

But... but why would such a hallucination occur?
"Death is not scary; what is scary is being unable to live and unable to die."

You have family, don't you? Do you want to subject your family to all the suffering you've endured?

As Yu Muhuai spoke, he picked up a twig from the ground and slowly rolled it into the bloody wound on the lieutenant's body.

Miao Zhilang immediately let out an extremely shrill scream.

Unlike Liang Xiaorong's swift and decisive interrogation style, Yu Muhuai's actions were slow and torturous.

For the victim, the latter is more painful and psychologically terrifying.

In the end, the man confessed.

The cook was not a spy for the bandits, but rather one of Boss Wu's men.

He was bribed by Boss Wu with money, and then he went to look for suitable people in the army to be spies.

As the deputy general, Miao Zhilang had access to information on most of the soldiers.

He found a cook himself, while Gui Kou reconnected with Hu Liang, who had been separated from him, during an attack.

Hu Liang had never met Boss Wu and always thought he was only connected with the bandits, but he didn't know that the person who actually bribed him was a fellow countryman.

Liang Xiaorong's mind was unable to comprehend the current situation.

He looked completely bewildered. "Boss Wu? That salt merchant? What's he doing getting involved in the war? What's he up to?"

This is a long story, and it can't be explained in a short time.

Yu Muhuai and Yao Zhan exchanged a glance and decided to discuss it amongst themselves first before deciding how much to reveal to Liang Xiaorong.

So they changed the subject and found out the cook's name.

Ge Hong.

That night, Ge Hong, who was still fast asleep in the logistics camp, was knocked unconscious and taken away.
