The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

The next morning, the sun was rising, and the morning glow had not yet completely faded, but the military camp was already a busy scene. The soldiers were dressed in neat armor, holding weapons, and standing at their respective posts in high spirits. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees, mixed with a little bit of the coolness of the morning, which refreshed people's spirits.

The captains of each team learned the news of the illness of the left lieutenant during the early morning assembly. This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The captains looked at each other with worried expressions on their faces. They knew that the left lieutenant was an important figure in the military camp, and his illness would undoubtedly have a certain impact on the operation of the military camp.

After the training, the captains of each team came to Chen Zhong’s tent, their faces full of concern and worry.

"Brother Chen, what's the situation with Captain Zuo?" a captain asked anxiously.

Chen Zhong shook his head slightly, frowning, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but the captain has ordered us to maintain order in the barracks and not to affect our daily training and combat preparations."

"Of course we understand, but Colonel Zuo has always been the backbone of our barracks. His illness has affected the mood of each of us," added a captain.

"Yes! Brother Chen, we are all very worried about Captain Zuo. Why don't you make some arrangements for us to visit him?" another captain also said.

Chen Zhong was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand everyone's concerns, but the captain also said that he doesn't want everyone to be affected by his illness, so please don't embarrass me, Old Chen."

At this time, Qingming, disguised as a school lieutenant, quietly walked into the tent. He stood aside silently, carefully observing the words and actions of these captains.

When Qingming walked into the tent, Chen Zhong felt a familiar breath coming towards him. He looked up and saw Qingming standing tall and with a calm face. Although he was deliberately dressed in a low-key manner, it was still difficult to conceal his unique temperament. Chen Zhong's heart moved slightly. He seemed to have an impression of this figure and this breath somewhere.

He looked carefully and found that it was Qing Ming, the popular figure beside the God of War. What was he singing today?

He was tempted to ask Qingming what he was doing, but his mind told him that Qingming obviously didn't want to be recognized. Chen Zhong suppressed his curiosity and just watched silently.

The captains were still discussing whether Captain Zuo's condition was serious and whether it would affect the subsequent training and combat plans. They all expressed their intention to go to the Captain's Mansion to visit Captain Zuo, understand his condition and needs, and provide help and support to the best of their ability.

Qingming secretly winked at Chen Zhong. He told him to find a way to refuse. Because the more he did so, the more the traitor would be sure that something was wrong with Captain Zuo, and he would go and inform the enemy. But Chen Zhong didn't know yet, which was really embarrassing for him. However, he didn't dare to disobey Qingming's order. He found some excuses to refuse several captains who wanted to visit Captain Zuo.

After the others left, Chen Zhong looked at Qingming in confusion, looking him up and down at his servant's attire, and couldn't help but frown. He walked up to Qingming and asked in a low voice: "Guard Qing, what's wrong with you? Why are you dressed like this? Are you hiding something from me?"

Qing Ming glanced at Chen Zhong and knew that he was loyal. He took a deep breath and decided to tell Chen Zhong the truth. He whispered, "Chen Zhong! There is a traitor in the army."

Chen Zhong's face changed when he heard this. He stared at Qing Ming with wide eyes, not believing his ears. He asked nervously, "What? You said there are traitors in the army? Is this true?"

Qing Ming nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it is absolutely true. I have obtained some reliable intelligence, which confirms that someone in the army has betrayed us and leaked important military secrets to the enemy. I came here this time to investigate this matter and find this traitor."

Chen Zhong was shocked after hearing this. He knew the seriousness of the matter. If the leaked secrets were used by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous. He asked nervously, "What are your plans? How should we deal with it?"

Qingming pondered for a moment and whispered, "In order to catch the traitor, the illness of Captain Zuo was just a cover." Then Qingming told Chen Zhong the whole story of the Prime Minister's murder of Captain Zuo's family, "Since they want to attack Captain Zuo, let's take advantage of their own tactic! Give them a taste of their own medicine!"

Chen Zhong nodded, indicating his approval of Qingming's plan. He knew that at this time, he had to fully support Qingming and jointly deal with this crisis. He said firmly: "Guard Qing, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to find this traitor and protect our military camp. I will fully cooperate with you to jointly deal with this challenge."

The two looked at each other, with determination flashing in their eyes.
