The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

However, Sui Ming, who was always serious, calmly took out a map and handed it to Sui Dan, and told him: "I have marked the enemy camps and places where people may be hiding. Look carefully on the road. Go south after leaving the military camp and a little west, and you will reach the direction of the enemy."

After explaining all this, Sui Ming took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Sui Dan. This was Sui Xin's sweat towel. Sui Dan moved his nose and indeed, he smelled a strong smell of sweat.

Sui Xin had never washed this handkerchief after using it and had thrown it in his tent. Sui had just ordered someone to take it away because the handkerchief had Sui Xin's scent on it, and the scent was particularly prominent.

Although Sui Dan was disgusted, he stuffed the map prepared for him by Sui Ming into his arms, then said goodbye to the emperor and left. No one told him to be careful or pay attention to safety, as if this man would never come back.

Cheng Feng was kindhearted and couldn't help asking Wan Lianxing, "Uncle, do you want me to accompany Sui Dan on this trip? One more person means one more person to take care of him."

Wan Lianxing looked at the big tent door that had been closed again, shook his head, and said seriously: "He can find the person faster if he goes by himself. If you accompany him, it will take time just to talk and make a fuss!"

The soldiers all felt that the emperor should not place his hopes on Sui Dan. At this time, one of the soldiers said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send two people to follow him secretly so that they can rescue him if he encounters danger?"

Wan Lianxing still shook his head. He disagreed. Ordinary people couldn't keep up with Sui Dan. "If you follow him, you will bring danger to yourselves."

Wan Lianxing knew best who Sui Dan was. He had watched this man grow up. If he found someone following him and couldn't tell friend from foe, Sui Dan would definitely let the snake bite that person.

Sui Dan followed Sui Ming's instructions and marched southwest out of the military camp. He only glanced at the map and chatted with the snake coiled around his neck as he walked: "You, be responsible for finding Sui Xin later."

However, the snake was nonchalant and did not respond to Sui Dan at all, and was very cold.

Sui Dan continued to babble, "You wouldn't have forgotten Sui Xin, the one with the dark face, the one with the darkest face."

Sui Dan did not take the risk. He pierced his fingertips with a dagger and fed his snake with his own blood. He then threw the handkerchief over the snake's head and let it go. Then he chose a tall tree and went to sleep.

During this time, many snakes came to tell Sui Dan the good news, but Sui Dan did not leave the big tree where he was. He would only leave after hearing the good news.

Time passed little by little, and it was getting darker and darker. When it was dusk, another snake came to tell him the news. Only then did Sui Dan happily follow the snake.

They came to a valley with mountains on both sides. The terrain was very dangerous and narrow.

But he had not yet reunited with his snake, which was still looking for people in the mountains, so Sui Dan had to find a secluded place to hide.

There was a commotion in the enemy's camp because a soldier reported that a poisonous snake was found in the camp. At this time, the soldiers in the camp were busy spreading snake repellent powder everywhere.

The prisoners who were locked in huge cages like animals were not afraid. It was better to die in the mouth of a poisonous snake than to have their heads chopped off tomorrow. They had been locked up here for half a month, and during this time their people had never come here to look for them or rescue them.

They had two generals, one was General Sui Ming, the other General Sui Xin. At this time, Sui Xin was imprisoned with them. However, with few soldiers under his command, it was difficult for Sui Ming to rescue them at this time. Moreover, the place where the enemy imprisoned them was dangerous and hidden, and the enemy's trick of using them to lure the enemy deep into the territory and catch them all in one fell swoop was obvious.

If Sui Ming did not come to rescue them, the border could still be defended. If Sui Ming brought troops, they would definitely fall into the enemy's trap. Therefore, the loyal soldiers would rather die than have anyone come to rescue them, because if no one came to rescue them, the entire army would be destroyed.

However, Sui Xin came to his senses when he heard that poisonous snakes had entered the military camp. He had been subjected to inhuman torture and humiliation for many days, with wounds of varying sizes all over his body. His hands and feet were still tied with handcuffs and shackles weighing dozens of kilograms, making it impossible for him to live or die.

There was blood on the corners of his face and mouth, and a smile in his eyes. He said with a little excitement: "The emperor is here, we will be rescued within three days!"

"General, how is this possible? How can the Emperor come to save us?"

"Yes, General. The Emperor is in the Imperial City. How could he possibly come to the border?"

Sui Xin's eyes were firm, and he said with certainty: "The emperor must be here, bringing reinforcements. In less than three days, we can leave this cage!"

The people in the same cage with him were instantly filled with hope when they heard him say this, but it was short-lived, and the soldier became worried again, "The terrain here is dangerous, and coming here will only lead to death, so it's better not to come."

"Yes, if the emperor sacrifices his pawns to save his chariot, we will still have to die!" After being tortured for half a month, everyone's desire to survive is not as strong as before. Although they are determined not to betray their country, no one will come to save them. They have long suspected that they have been abandoned.

Sui Xin never lost heart. He believed that those who followed him and risked their lives were definitely not unkind and unjust people. He would never abandon them. He encouraged everyone, saying, "Don't be discouraged. The emperor came to save us. We just need to wait."

"But, General, how did you know that the Emperor was coming? Do you have any spies here?"

Sui Xin laughed at himself and said, "What spies? If there were spies, we would have left long ago." At this time, a small poisonous snake had already crawled into the cage, and the soldier, who had no strength in his hands, no longer had the energy to fight a poisonous snake.

"General, please hide quickly, this is a poisonous snake."

Sui Xin picked up the snake excitedly, with a rare gleam in his eyes, "This is a messenger snake, a snake that came to tell us something."

Sui Xin squeezed the wound on his hand hard, and a few drops of blood dripped into the snake's mouth. "Just like Sui Dan, you want benefits for doing some work. Your master is lazy and gluttonous, but luckily you are not." Although Sui Xin scolded the snake, his eyes were full of love. This snake was their savior and everyone's hope of survival.

After feeding a few drops of blood, the snake king closed his mouth with satisfaction. Quarter of an hour later, Sui Dan reunited with his snakes and returned to the camp after dark.

The lights in the camp were bright, and the generals were all in the big tent with Wan Lianxing waiting for news. Everyone had given up hope on Sui Dan. They estimated that Sui Dan's head would be thrown five miles in front of their camp tomorrow as a provocation.
